LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

The company the metals flagship company of the Aditya Birla Group, is an industry leader in aluminium and copper. A metals powerhouse with a consolidated turnover in excess of US$ 14 billion, Hindalco is the world's largest aluminium rolling company and one of the biggest producers of primary aluminium in Asia. Its Copper smelter is the world's largest custom smelter at a single location.


Established in 1958, the company commissioned its aluminium facility at Renukoot in Eastern U.P. in 1962. Later acquisitions and mergers, with Indal, Birla Copper and the Nifty and Mt.Gordon copper mines in Australia, strengthened the company's position in value-added alumina, aluminium and copper products, with vertical integration through access to captive copper concentrates.


In 2007, the acquisition of Novelis Inc. a world leader in aluminium rolling and can recycling, marked a significant milestone in the history of the aluminium industry in India. With Novelis under its fold the company ranks among the global top five aluminium majors, as an integrated producer with lowcost alumina and aluminium facilities combined with high-end rolling capabilities and a global footprint in 12 countries outside India. Its combined turnover of US$ 14 billion, places it in the Fortune 500 league.

 

Business Overview:

 

FY 11 witnessed a strong pricing environment for commodities driven by continued global economic recovery. Strong fundamental demand, buoyed by strong growth in industrial activity after a lull in FY 09; and fledgling recovery in FY10, coupled with growing emergence of commodities as an asset class manifested in strong prices for both copper and aluminium, the businesses in which the company operates. However, the flip side to this commodity boom was a sharp rally in crude and energy prices giving rise to incessant cost pressures, which negated most benefits of higher commodity prices. The year also brought in unique challenges for subject as it suffered two major disruptions at

 

• Hirakud smelter (Aluminium) and

• Dahej plant due to cooling tower problem (copper)

 

Thus FY11 clearly tested the company’s resilience and determination to deliver against a back drop of significant macroeconomic, strategic and operational challenges. The company’s business fired on all fronts, leveraged every opportunity in the book and demonstrated an unprecedented ‘can do’ spirit to deliver an outstanding performance against these odds. Every constituent of the business: Aluminum and Copper business in India, Novelis and ABML, contributed equitably to this delivery and in a way laid a strong strategic foundation for sustaining this improved performance into the future.

 

Business Highlights

 

The highlights of this year’s performance were

 

• Consolidated Revenue of USD 15.9 billion on the back of strong showing by all businesses

 

• highest ever underlying EBITDA of $1.9 billion, reflecting the inherent strength of the company’s low cost business model, operational excellence, superior product mix and a balanced portfolio.

 

• Strong cash flows to support the growth Ambitions

 

• Innovative financing to fuel their growth plans. The Company completed over USD 7 billion of financing transactions; each of them has been a landmark in itself:

 

• Financial closure of Utkal and Mahan: Achieved financial closure of two projects in a challenging liquidity environment. underpinned by an overwhelming response in syndications, a fitting testimony to their deal structuring capabilities and underlying credibility with the banking fraternity.

 

• Novelis refinancing: This was a landmark innovation in financing - not only did subject get back 50% of the invested equity within 4 years, but also opened up a novel funding avenue between Novelis and Hindalco

 

Subject consolidated revenue at Rs. 720780.000 Millions has been the highest ever, a growth of 19% yearon- year. Strong volumes, improved mix and higher commodity prices have been the growth drivers. Profit before depreciation, interest and taxes stood at Rs. 84330.000 Millions as against Rs. 100690.000 Millions in FY10, which included Rs. 27360.000 Millions (USD 578 million) of unrealized gains on derivatives, as against unrealised loss of Rs. 2910.000 Millions (USD 64 million) in FY11. The underlying performance of the current year sets a new record, reflecting the inherent strength of the Company’s low cost business model, operational excellence, superior product mix and a balanced and de-risked portfolio.

 

Revenues for the year crossed USD 5 Bn

 

For the year ended March 31, 2011, net sales at Rs. 238590.000 Millions grew by 22%. Highest ever copper volumes, better product and geographic mix, by-product credit and higher realisation led by higher commodity prices enabled the company clock an impressive growth. Input cost pressures, lower TcRc and one-timers associated with the Hirakud power outage have been some of the constraints faced in attaining even higher levels of performance. EBITDA for FY11 stood at Rs. 35020.000 Millions as against Rs. 3,210 Millions in FY10; inclusive of a gain of over Rs. 3490.000 Millions, arising on account of AS-30 transition. FY11 EBITDA was constrained by the one-timers mentioned above.

 

Operational Highlights:

 

The endeavour to produce more metal through asset sweating and through de-bottlenecking at Renukoot helped the company produce 538 KT, marginally lower than previous year’s production of 555 KT of hot metal despite loss of over 20 KT productions at Hirakud.

 

Aluminium sales at Rs. 79650.000 Millions were up 14%, mainly on the back of better realization. Overall metal volumes were lower due to Hirakud disruption, however following proactive initiatives were taken to bridge the gap:

 

1. Higher Alumina sales by 28%, as surplus Alumina was diverted to third party sales.

 

2. Sold more metal in India, to benefit from higher realization.

 

The EBIT margin of the Aluminium business is amongst the highest relative to domestic and global peers which underlines our strategic thrust and commitment to combine cost leadership and portfolio de-risking.

 

FY11 posed several challenges to the Copper smelters worldwide. Strong copper prices resulting into higher working capital blockage, tightness in the concentrate market; and lower TCRC’s along with severe cost inflation squeezed the custom smelters margins significantly. The Copper smelting business delivered a strong performance against these significant odds. The business contributed Rs. 159020.000 Millions to the top line – a growth of 27% YOY, and delivered EBIT of Rs. 6020.000 Millions as compared with Rs. 6600.000 Millions last year. However it is significant to note that last year’s performance included a transitional gain of Rs.1560.000 Millions arising out of Derivative accounting. This has been a strong underlying performance delivered by the business despite the loss in production due to unexpected cooling tower problem coupled with adverse Tc/Rc and rising cost pressures.

 

Novelis

 

Novelis, The Company’s 100% subsidiary, today is poised for Rapid Transformational Growth. The adjusted EBITDA at a record level of USD 1.1 billion was up by 42% compared to previous year. The company also posted a net income of USD 116 million under US GAAP and a solid Free Cash Flow of USD 310 million during the year.

 

The record results at Novelis reflect a number of ongoing initiatives to strengthen the business and prepare it for transformational growth. The global realignment of the organization towards operating as a fully integrated global company, optimizing the Company’s footprint and reducing its cost base by closing underperforming and non-core

plants and by investing in recycling initiatives fuelled its growth. The focus continues to be on premium products, which now comprise over 70 percent of Novelis’ product portfolio. The refinancing and recapitalizing initiatives undertaken in FY11 have positioned the Company to significantly invest over the next few years to capture strong market growth in its key product segments globally. Shipments of aluminium rolled products totaled 2,969 Kt for FY11, an increase of 10 percent compared to shipments of 2,708 Kt in the previous year. This increase in shipments for the year was driven by strong end-market conditions across all product segments globally, particularly in can, automotive and electronics. Net sales for FY11 were $10.6 billion, an increase of 22 percent compared to the $8.7 billion reported for FY10. Novelis intends to use its strong operating cash flow to fund $1.5 billion in capital expenditure over the next three years. The previously announced rolling mill expansion in Brazil and the recently announced expansion in Korea as well as strategic automotive expansion in North America are key focus areas in the near term to capitalize on future growth and solidify its position as the leading player in the global FRP industry.

 

Over the next year, Novelis expects continued strong demand in its key product segments. As a result, capital expenditure for FY12 is projected to be between $550 and $600 million. Much of this capital is earmarked for strategic investments, which include Brazilian and Asian rolling mill expansions, strategic automotive capacity increase in North America and recycling initiatives across operating regions. Debottlenecking projects are also being undertaken across the regions to increase the capacity.

 

Aditya Birla Minerals

 

Aditya Birla Minerals (ABML) delivered a strong performance in FY11 granting the fact that Mt Gordon facility remained under care and maintenance. Improvements in operational efficiencies across the board have resulted in the highest ever copper production from Nifty. Through various initiatives, including those that were initiated during the Global Financial Crisis of 2009/10, the company managed to offset the impact of the inflationary pressures on its cost structure. With a robust operational frame, Aditya Birla Minerals is on a strong footing to benefit from the global healthy economics.

 

The Company’s financial performance for FY11 has been rewarding and encouraging. The consolidated revenue stood at A $464 million – up 22% from the previous year. The growth was driven by higher shipments as well as better realizations. Net profit after tax was A$57 million in FY11, recording a marginal decline from A$61 million in the previous year. The decline was primarily on account of the expenditure incurred towards environmental compliance for Mt Gordon that was under care and maintenance throughout the year. A rising Australian dollar against USD also impacted the profitability. Nevertheless, the restart of Mt Gordon operations and on the strength of strong copper prices for the year, the company is set to improve its operational and financial performance in the on-going financial year.

 

Projects

 

Subject projects continue to follow the strategic plan which we have set for their selves. The Company has embarked on an aspirational growth path towards which, three new Aluminium Smelters and two new Alumina Refineries are being set up in the states of Odisha, Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand. With these projects on stream, aluminium smelting capacity will touch around 1.7 Million-tonne and alumina refining capacity around 6 Million-tonne. The site work on these Greenfield projects is in various stages of progress.

 

Financing:

 

The company took several proactive financing measures to ensure smooth progress on these projects.

 

Utkal and Mahan Financing

 

The three projects, viz. Utkal Alumina International Limited [UAIL], Mahan Aluminium and Aditya Aluminium, with a capital outlay of USD 5 billion are at various stages of execution. The equity for these projects has been financed by internal accruals and QIP issuance of USD 600 million in Nov ’09. During the year the company achieved the financial closure of UAIL and Mahan Aluminium through debt financing for Rs. 49060.000 Millions and Rs. 78750.000 Millions respectively.

 

Business Performance Review:

 

Aluminium Business

 

Industry Review

 

Global economy continued to recover after the unprecedented sharp fall in FY09 and an equally spectacular recovery in the later part of FY10. Strong demand from both emerging markets and developed markets on the back of increased Industrial activity fuelled the demand for commodities. However, emerging markets continued to be the torchbearer of this growth while the strong demand from developed market was primarily driven by restocking post crisis.

 

Globally, though the growth momentum continued, towards later part of FY 11, there were signs of growth moderation as most economies started facing strong headwinds post this rapid growth. Rising inflation, cost pressures and the steps taken by various governments, to tame the inflation could stem the growth. With economic sustainability of some of the European countries under question with rising sovereign debt concerns, the growth sustainability is under cloud. Similarly geo-political issues in Middle East too have slowed down the growth momentum.

 

The Indian economy is estimated to have grown at around 9% in real term. This strong growth was on the back of strong industrial grow h and was indeed a reflection of strong consumer demand across all the sectors.

 

Going forward though the growth momentum is expected to continue over long term following rising urbanization, industrialization and rising income levels leading to higher spend, there may be some roadblocks in the interim.

 

Strong inflationary pressures, rising deficit with strong crude prices, high interest regime are already impacting the growth momentum, with signs of moderation not only in the investments in the various projects especially infrastructure projects, but also in the consumer demand.

 

Aluminium Demand and Market:

 

In CY 2010, the world aluminium consumption stood at around 41 Million tonnes, a sharp increase of over 20 % over 34 Million tones consumption in CY 2009. The CY10 production stood marginally higher at ~42 Million tones against production of 38 Million tonnes in CY 09. The sharp rise in demand was the result of strong recovery in the emerging market demand and primarily restocking led growth in developed markets. As in the past, China continued to be the driving force behind this demand growth, growing at ~ 21% and contributing to over 41% of global aluminium demand in CY10.

 

Globally, Aluminium production too, increased as the producers restarted their capacities with the smart recovery in the aluminium LME. As a result the global markets continued to be in surplus. During the crisis as the aluminium prices fell sharply, many players with bullish view on aluminium, started building aluminium inventory. Low storage cost added by negligible financing cost and positive outlook on prices resulted into inventory getting locked as contango exceeded carrying cost. This trend still continues resulting in shortage of aluminium in the physical market and rising premiums. Today, the global inventory stands at historical peaks and has created an

overhang leading to a paradox of relatively depressed prices and yet higher premium. Indian domestic demand continued to be robust on the back of strong industrial growth. Strong growth in the end user segments such as automobiles, Industrial and infrastructure; and thrust on power sector growth, propelled the aluminium demand which grew at 14% despite of some moderation towards later part of the year.

 

In FY11, LME average aluminium prices remained strong at around 2,250 $/tonne an increase of over 21% over previous year’s average prices. The appreciating rupee though negated some of the LME price gains as for every tonne of aluminium sold we realised fewer rupee. The aluminium prices continued to rise even as inventory levels remained at their historic highs. This was the result of tightness in the physical market, with most inventories as explained above tied up at various ware houses under financing deals. Across the globe, the cost of production of

aluminium increased sharply as input costs such as alumina and power surged. Alumina costs increased as the aluminium prices recovered and bauxite quality deteriorated. Strong increase in aluminium production with dwindling supply of quality bauxite, coupled with rising crude related costs resulted in higher cost of alumina. The

higher alumina cost has led to increased clamor for decoupling of alumina prices from aluminium prices. Alumina prices, which used to be around 11-5-12.5% of aluminium prices historically are today trading north of 16% and with a possible move to spot based pricing, are expected to increase further.

 

For most producers power costs increased with sharp rise in coal/energy prices. The cost of other inputs such as CPC coke and anodes also increased in line with the rise in the crude prices. In the Indian context increase in coal prices further accentuated the cost pressure.

 

Operational Review

 

On this backdrop, the Company’s aluminium business operational performance was indeed exceptional and recorded a strong production performance despite loss of production due to Hirakud outage.

 

Alumina

 

Alumina production increased by 3% to 1.35 Million tonnes primarily through production ramp up at Muri. They also increased the higher paying domestic sale of specials by 16%. Overall alumina sales increased by 28% on account of lower captive consumption due to lower aluminium production at Hirakud. Alumina sales revenue increased by over 31% due to higher volumes and improved product mix.

 

Primary Metal

 

Primary aluminium production decreased only by 3% to 537,935 MT. despite a significant loss of production at Hirakud. Hirakud smelter facility production was adversely impacted because of outage due to incessant rains and thunderstorm. Primary aluminium sales volumes were in line with the production, however the revenues

showed a strong increase of over 14% due to higher LME.

 

Wire Rods

 

Wire rods production grew by over 3% from 91,903 MT in FY 10 to 94,307 MT. The production was increased to cater to growing demand from power sector.

 

Value Added Products (VAP)

 

This remains the key focus area of the company to enhance profitability. The VAP (i.e. flat rolled products, extrusions and foils) volumes in tonnage were impacted due to decline in metal volume. The overall revenue though remained strong on account of higher aluminium LME. The markup in the downstream business has shown a continuous improvement over the years with continuous improvement in product mix as well as geographical mix.

 

Extrusions

 

Extrusions production was affected as production activities at Alupuram, Kerala continued to be hampered following lock-out declared on February 22, 2011. The extrusion volumes were at 35,865 tonnes as compared with 38,909 tonnes in FY 10.

 

Financial Performance

 

The turnover of the aluminium domestic business increased by 14 per cent to Rs.79650.000 Millions vis-ŕ-vis Rs. 69890.000 Millions in the previous year, despite lower metal volumes and decline in VAP as average LME for the year was 21% higher than the previous year.

 

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased by 13% to Rs. 20040.000 Millions due to higher realizations, improved geographic mix and strong thrust on operational efficiency improvement. This improvement was in the face of strong cost inflation. The costs push, was the result of sharp increase in crude prices leading to significant increase in crude derivative prices such as CP coke and fuel oil. Coal prices also increased sharply. The company also suffered on account of production loss at Hirakud, which is relatively low cost facility and subsequent spends on stabilizing the pot lines.

 

Aluminium producers across the globe experienced the impact of cost inflation as the global cost curve moved sharply upward. The company’s performance was amongst the best in the industry. This was possible due to its low cost structure, superior product and geographic mix as discussed earlier.

 

Aluminium Outlook

 

In 2011, the global aluminium demand is expected to remain strong and is expected to increase by around 9% reaching to almost 45 Million tonnes. The Chinese demand is expected to rise by a healthy 11% even after considering demand moderation in the recent months. With a strong recovery in the US and EU the demand momentum is expected to remain strong.

 

Aluminium demand in India has been very strong in the recent past growing at almost 14% CAGR. Unlike the western world the primary demand driver for aluminium in India has been power sector which accounts for almost 48% demand. With government’s stated committed spending towards achieving 70,000 MW generation target, the spend on power infrastructure will be huge. As far as the other aluminium consuming sectors are concerned with growing urbanisation the demand growth has picked up from packaging, automobile, construction (increased usage) electronics (cell phone, laptop bodies) etc.. The per capita consumption at ~1.2 kg is still abysmally low as compared with even China ~10 Kg and the western world ~ 15-18 Kg. This offers significant potential demand upside.

 

The Global demand outlook for FRP (Flat rolled products) is extremely bullish with rising demand from beverage cans; especially in the emerging markets, consumer electronics and automobile segment (with increased emphasis on weight reduction). Novelis is the global leader in this segment.

 

Aluminium production is expected to increase in line with the demand. The market surplus is going to continue for a while. Strong prices have led many smelters to restart their production in last one year. In addition some new smelters are on the verge of delivering.

 

The cost push has been felt in the recent times with rise in crude prices from the recent highs. Most input costs such as fuel oil, coal tar pitch, and caustic soda have increased along with the freight costs. Alumina costs for non integrated smelters have gone up and may increase further, notwithstanding new capacity additions, especially in the light of deteriorating bauxite quality, logistic related issues for new projects, increasing capital requirement and higher input costs.

 

The prices are expected to continue to stay range bound over the short term with a large inventory overhang. Aluminium inventories across the globe are near all time high. But most of these inventories are reportedly bound in financing deals and are not expected to flood the market. The long term fundamentals are strong with the emergence of aluminium as an eminent metal with applications touching several aspects of human life.

 

Business Outlook

 

The Company has demonstrated the strength of its business model time and again especially in last few years, fraught with lots of uncertainty and volatility. The Company’s strategy to achieve global size and scale through the acquisition of Novelis has demonstrated its merit and so far things have worked as per the plan. The de-risked business model of Novelis, where LME is a pass through, its robust product portfolio with over 50% going into manufacture of beverage cans and strong presence in emerging markets has shown its strength and is now poised for a transformational growth. It already has become value accretive for subject and offers significant synergistic benefits going forward. These company’s ongoing brownfield and Greenfield expansion plans are progressing well notwithstanding the social, geo-political and other macroeconomic challenges. These are exciting yet challenging times and the company is confident of progressing on the laid out strategic path and achieve the desired global footprints and scale.

 

Industry Review

 

Global Refined copper consumption registered a smart recovery in CY 10 after two consecutive years of decline in CY 08 and CY 09. Consumption rose to a level of 18.5 million tonnes in CY 10 clocking a growth of 8.5% over CY 09 despite 46% rise in LME prices.  As with the most metals China continued to be the major demand driver, accounting for over 175% of total demand growth in last 5 years. In 2005, China’s share of global copper consumption was 22.6%, with Europe at 23% and the USA at 13.7%. In 2010, China’s share had risen to 38.4%, with Europe declining to 17.3% and the USA to 8.9%. The biggest absolute declines in copper consumption have come in Japan, Russia and North America. Much of this decline has come from consumption in end products that were previously produced in these regions moving to China, while in the USA, declining home construction and related consumer consumption have been major reasons behind the collapse in copper demand. Global refined copper production recorded a healthy growth of 4% in CY10 over CY 09 after witnessing two years of marginal growth in CY 08 and CY 09. As the refined copper production lagged the consumption, prices rose sharply to an average of 7533 $/t in CY10 from an average level of 5149 $/t in CY 09. Q-I of CY 11 saw the price breaking the 10,000 $/t mark for the first time. The TC/RC for the CY 2010, were sharply lower than CY 09, when a sharp demand decline had provided a window of opportunity to the custom smelter to book relatively better long term terms. In CY 10, with the sharp improvement in demand for refined copper and with supply side issues unresolved benchmark TC/RC were ~ % lower than CY 2009 benchmark.

 

Spot TcRc remained depressed for most part of FY11 showing a significant volatility in the last two quarters. The later part of CY 10 witnessed a smart recovery in spot TcRc with a sharp bounce back to around 17 c/lb from a level of 3.5 c/lb in the previous quarter. The smelters also suffered on account of incessant cost push primarily driven by rising energy costs.

 

Business Performance:

 

The Copper business performed well in a challenging macroeconomic environment. The company recorded a strong production performance notwithstanding unexpected cooling tower problem at Dahej that resulted in loss of

production. The Company also managed its market mix well to improve overall copper realizations.

 

The primary value drivers of Indian copper smelter business are TCRC, acid realization, DAP subsidy, duty differential and input prices. As seen above most value drivers for the year were unfavourable. On this backdrop, their efforts to reduce the impact of Tc/Rc on the smelter business have started yielding desired results.

 

Their copper business today, in a way is a portfolio of various business opportunities stemming out of the by-products.

 

On the production front,

• The business maintained its cathode production despite outage due to cooling tower collapse.

 

• The recovery improvement trend is positive and so are the other efficiencies.

 

• It also increased production of CC Rods in an effort to maximise the gains across the value chain.

 

• New initiatives were undertaken to replace ore with copper scrap

 

On the marketing front, in addition to the higher CC rods sales, thrust on the focused markets and increased by-product sales allowed us to negate the impact of lower Tc/Rc and rising input costs. During the year significant improvements were achieved in the operating performance. The company delivered highest ever production of cathode, an improvement of 1% over the previous year despite loss of production. DAP volumes too were 21% higher than the previous year. Today Dahej ranks in top quartile of the Global cost competitiveness and is today by far more robust, predictable and globally competitive business.

 

Copper Financials:

 

The sharp rise in LME coupled with marginally higher sales volumes led to higher revenues, which were increased by 18%. However, for custom smelters like the company, copper prices are just a pass through and the margins are largely determined by Tc/Rc and as a result a decline in LME copper prices did not have significant impact on the profitability. Lower Tc/Rc, rising energy costs and appreciating rupee adversely impacted the profitability of copper business. However, operational improvements, better working capital management led to delivery of robust performance and strong cash flows.

 

Copper Outlook:

 

The global refined copper demand is expected to increase by around 5.5 % in CY2011. They expect long term demand for copper to be strong on the back of infrastructural demand from India, China and moderate demand growth from the western world. China will continue to have lion’s share in the incremental growth and is expected

to account for over 60% of incremental growth over next 5 years, thus accounting for around 44% of 2015 global estimated demand of ~ 24 Million tonnes.

 

In the medium term supply is likely to be constrained as there is a deficit of concentrate on account of delays in the expected new mine capacities, rising project costs and associated risk / socio-political factors. Higher capital costs, declining ore grades and labour related issues in some of the major copper producing countries are expected to restrict the availability of concentrate over medium term.

 

However, in the shorter run, liquidity crunch, inflationary pressures, monitory tightening etc. have resulted in demand moderation. This demand moderation, coupled with closure of Japanese smelters, which produce around 7% of global refined copper in the wake of earth quake/s and Tsunamis have resulted in temporary smelter shutdowns. As a result the demand for concentrates has declined, while miners continued to deliver. Hence Tc/Rc have improved substantially. They believe that this scenario will continue for a while and this augurs well for the company in the short term.

 

Business Outlook

 

The Company has continued to perform creditably in these challenging times. It continues to make steady progress on the planned growth track. The Company will continue to strive to improve operating efficiencies and reduce conversion costs. Their production flexibility with respect to various value added byproducts will increase the available options for profit and cash flow improvements. Today subject is well poised to emerge as “One Global Metal Business” with India Centric Upstream business and Global Value Added Downstream business. The company has embarked on an ambitious growth path with an announced investment plan of over USD 6.5 billion in India and overseas in the next three years. With these projects coming on stream and strong growth prospects from downstream business subject is set for a quantum growth leap.

BENCHMARKS PARE LOSSES TO TRADE ABOVE NEUTRAL LINE

 

04 January 2012

 

India, January 04 -- Indian equities pared off losses to trade in green above neutral line in the late afternoon session as investors started accumulating blue chip front line counters. Traders were seen piling up position in PSU, Capital Goods and Metal sector while selling was witnessed in Auto, TECk and FMCG sector. However, market men were still reluctant as concerns over the euro zone's huge refinancing needs persist ahead of German and Portugal's bond auction but some encouraging comments and actions from Prime Ministers Mario Monti in Italy and Mariano Rajoy in Spain build the hopes. L and T and BHEL from Capital Goods space were seen trading firm in green helping the markets edge higher. SAIL, Hindalco, SesaGoa, Tata Steel and Sterlite from Metal pack were trading in green giving the much needed support. However, Bajaj Auto, M and M and Hero MotoCorp from Auto pack were seen trading in red driving the markets down. In the scrip specific development, JBM Auto and Jay Bharat Maruti were trading firm after the JBM group acquired 51% stake in UK-based engineering services company Tesco GO for an undisclosed sum to strengthen its domestic and global business. Kingfisher Airlines was trading weak in red on reports that the Central Board of Excise and Customs reportedly warned the cash-strapped airliner of appropriate legal action if it fails to pay service tax dues by January 6, 2012. On the global front, all Asian markets traded on a mix note while the European markets were too trading in mix. Back home, the NSE Nifty and BSE Sensex were trading above their psychological 4,750 and 15,900 levels, respectively. The market breadth on BSE was dominantly in favor of advances in the ratio of 1496:1060 while 120 scrips remained unchanged. The BSE Sensex is currently trading at 15,964.53 up by 25.17 points or 0.16% after trading as high as 16,004.69 and as low as 15,839.70. There were 16 stocks advancing against 14 declines on the index.The broader indices were trading on an optimistic note; the BSE Mid cap index gained 0.60% while Small cap rose 0.30%.On the BSE sectoral space, PSU up 1.45%, Capital Goods up 1.35%, Metal up 1.13%, Bankex up 1.00% and Power up 0.92% were the major gainers while Auto down 0.61%, TECk down 0.35%, FMCG down 0.34% and IT down 0.02% were the only losers in the space. Tata Motors up 3.71%, ICICI Bank up 2.84%, BHEL up 2.64%, Hindalco Industries up 2.12% and Tata Steel up 1.41% were the major gainers on the Sensex, while Bajaj Auto down 4.56%, M and M down 3.53%, Hero Motor down 2.45%, HUL down 2.23% and Bharti Airtel down 2.01% were the major losers in the index. Meanwhile, service sector activity in India improved in the month of December as the sector grew at the fastest pace since July on the back of strong new business and output growth. The encouraging service sector report came a day after manufacturing activity data showed that the sector resiliently bounced in the month of December as it accelerated at a swiftest pace in last six months, highlighting the fact that the Indian private sector output registered strong growth in the last month of 2011.According to the seasonally adjusted HSBC Business Activity Index, the service sector accelerated to 54.2 in December, as against 53.2 in the previous month of 2011. A figure above 50 signals expansion in production while, a number below 50 indicates contraction. Though the service sector growth in the month under review remained lower than the long-run series average, however, the purchasing managers' index (PMI) reading for the services sector, which measures the overall health of the sector, suggested that activity saw strongest improvement in business conditions in last five months. After showing signs of cooling and even slipping to a two and a half year low of 49.1 in October, the service sector has bounced back as new orders increased for the thirty-second straight month in December while outstanding business also rose after remaining broadly unchanged in the last two months. Besides, employment in the sector too rose in the month after six straight months of showing job losses. But, the rate of input cost inflation grew deeper as it rose at the fastest rate in four months, remained stubbornly above the long-run series average. Thus, the strong Manufacturing and Service sector PMI have propelled the HSBC Composite Index, which covers both the manufacturing and service sectors, to 54.7 in the 2011's last month, higher from 52.3 seen in November 2011. However, concerns over slowing domestic economic condition amid uncertainty over global growth prospects still pose potential downside risks for the sectors. The S and P CNX Nifty is currently trading at 4,765.40, higher by 0.10 points after trading as high as 4,782.85 and as low as 4,733.05. There were 23 stocks advancing against 27 declines on the index. The top gainers on the Nifty were HCL Tech up 4.39%, Tata Motors up 3.53%, ICICI Bank up 2.44%, BHEL up 2.32% and SAIL up 2.27%.Bajaj Auto down 4.37%, ACC down 3.27%, M and M down 3.24%, Ambuja Cement down 2.71% and Bharti Airtel down 2.34% were the top losers on the index. Asian markets were trading mixed; Jakarta Composite surged 1.12%, Nikkei 225 soared 1.24%, Straits Times advanced 0.66% and Taiwan Weighted gained 0.42%. On the flipside, Shanghai Composite plunged 0.27%, Hang Seng shed 0.80% and Seoul Composite declined 0.49%.The European markets traded on a mix note, France's CAC 40 dropped 0.60%, Germany's DAX shed 0.24% and Britain's FTSE 100 ascended 0.13%.

 

SENSEX NEAR DAY'S LOW; NIFTY SLIPS NEAR 4,700 LEVEL

 

28 December 2011

 

India, December 28 -- The Indian equity markets extended losses and currently trading near low point of the day following a weak Asian cues, weighed down by banks. Investors remained cautious with a negative bias following a mixed batch of economic data from the U.S. and Japan. On sectoral front sustained selling was witnessed in bank, metal, realty and oil stocks. Stocks from automobile, consumer durables, capital goods and FMCG sectors too were mostly trading weak. However, Tata Power is up 2.2% on fairly strong buying at the counter following an announcement from the company that it would buy out BP Alternative Energy Holding's 51% stake in joint venture Tata BP Solar for an undisclosed amount. On the global front markets, the Asia-Pacific region markets were trading in red. Back home, the market breadth remained downbeat; there were 834 shares on the gaining side against 1,357 shares on the losing side while 127 shares remained unchanged. The BSE Sensex is currently trading at 15,756.42, down by 117.53 points or 0.74%. The index has a touched a high and low of 15,887.80 and 15,730.64 respectively. There were 8 stocks advancing against 22 declines on the index. The broader indices too were trading with a loss; the BSE Mid cap and Small cap indices dropped 0.81% and 0.59% respectively.

In the past month, the central bank has also purchased government securities of over Rs 243110.000 Millions from the money markets in three installments as part of its efforts to infuse liquidity into the system.
