Domestic Market View
Markets to make some recovery on supportive
regional cues
The Indian markets continued their bearish trend and
ended modestly lower in the last session, as traders
preferred to book profits at every rise. Today, the start
is likely to be in green and some recovery can be
expected after the series of fall, supported by an
International Monetary Fund’s latest report raising its
forecasts of India’s economic growth to 7.2% in the
current fiscal year, compared to 5.6% as predicted
earlier. Traders will also be getting some support with
the statement of Revenue Secretary that the GST
rollout is on track. He has also said that the roadmap
for the removal of corporate tax exemptions
announced in the Union Budget are also set to be
announced during the course of this year. Though,
there will be some cautiousness too ahead of the
release of February CPI and January IIP data after
the market hours. Telecom stocks will keep buzzing
as the total bid value jumped up to Rs 96,000 crore,
higher by Rs 3,800 crore from the previous day on the
seventh day of the spectrum auction, with fierce
bidding in all circles except Bihar, Karnataka, Kolkata,
Tamil Nadu, UP (east) and UP (west) in 800 MHz.
Domestic Market OverView
Benchmarks end lower for third straight session
Extending their southward journey for third straight day, Indian equity benchmarks ended the volatile
day of trade slightly in the red as investors remained on sidelines ahead of data on industrial
production for January and consumer price index for February scheduled to be announced on
Thursday. Marketmen also traded with caution and were unwilling to take fresh positions ahead of
the proceedings in the Parliament particularly with respect to the passage of key bills such as Land
Acquisition Bill in Rajya Sabha.
However, losses remained capped as some support came with report that India’s current account
deficit (CAD) narrowed considerably to $8.2 billion or 1.6% of gross domestic product (GDP) for the
quarter ended December 2014 down from $10.1 billion or 2% of GDP on end-September 2014.
Sentiments remained downbeat on report that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) sold shares worth a
net Rs 748.13 crore on March 10, 2015, as per provisional data released by the stock exchanges.
Meanwhile, stocks related to metal counter fell on concerns over the impact of the investigations by
the Central Bureau of Investigation. Additionally, public sector oil marketing companies (OMCs)
edged lower as global crude oil prices rebounded on Wednesday after data showed US crude stocks
fell for the first time in two months. On the flip side, select stocks from Auto space edged higher with
the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) reporting that domestic car sales grew 7% to
1,71,727 units in February, however there was 9% drop in rural motorcycle sales last month.
Moreover, telecom stocks remained in action with aggressive bidding by mobile phone operators in
auction of mobile airwaves, which led the government accumulate Rs 94,000 crore by the end of
auctioning after five days of bidding.
Global Market Overview
Asian markets end mostly in red on Wednesday
The Asian markets ended mostly in red on Wednesday, amid concerns about an interest rate hike in
the US. Growth in China’s investment, retail sales and factory output all missed forecasts in January
and February, leaving investors with little doubt that the economy is still losing steam and in need of
further support measures. The figures came a day after data showed deflationary pressures in the
factory sector intensified in February, and is likely to reinforce expectations of more interest rate cuts
and other policy loosening to avert a sharper slowdown in the world’s second-biggest economy.
Industrial output grew 6.8% in the first two months of the year compared with the same period a year
ago, the weakest expansion since late 2008. Chinese Retail Sales fell to an annual rate of 10.7%,
from 11.9% in the preceding month while Chinese Fixed Asset Investment fell to a seasonally
adjusted 13.9%, from 15.7% in the preceding month.
US markets closed lower on rate hike concerns
The US markets closed lower on Wednesday, with growing expectations of a rate hike by the
Federal Reserve. The Congressional Budget Office forecasts the US annual budget deficit to reach
$486 billion, $18 billion higher than the agency’s shortfall projection in January. CBO adjusted its
federal debt estimate for fiscal 2015 due to an anticipated increase in government spending for
Medicaid, Medicare and student loan programs. The agency also lowered its 10-year cumulative
deficit forecast to $7.2 trillion between 2016 and 2025, a $431 billion decrease from the January
forecast. Federal debt would equal 73 percent or 74 percent of the US gross domestic product over
the next few years and climb to 77 percent of the country’s GDP by 2025.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 27.55 points or 0.16 percent to 17,635.39, Nasdaq was down
by 9.86 points or 0.20 percent to 4,849.94 while, S&P 500 dropped 3.92 points or 0.19 percent to
2,040.24.

Govt revives plans of setting up fertilizer plant in Iran
The government has revived plans to set up a fertilizer plant in Iran with an investment of about Rs 5,000 crore. The proposal is to
set up a urea/ammonia JV Project with capacity to produce 1.3 MT Urea for import to India. However, the government has
requested the Persian Gulf nation to offer long term gas contract for manufacturing the soil nutrient at feasible rates.
The government has nominated companies like Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers (RCF), Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers &
Chemicals (GNFC) and Gujarat State Fertilizers Corporation (GSFC) for the proposed 1.3 million tonne urea joint venture
plant. These Indian companies’ have appointed SBI Capital to identify the Iranian partners for the Joint Venture Project.
LKP Advisory
Notably, both the nations have been in discussions for setting up of a fertilizer plant in the Persian Gulf nation since 2013, but talks
failed to fructify stuck over gas price issue. However, India has revived its plans after Iranian authorities approached the
government officials and expressed willingness to partner with them in this project.

Government to support oil PSUs in case of US sanctions: Dharmendra Pradhan
Government is likely to lend a helping hand to Indian oil PSUs in protecting their economic interest from being impacted in the
eventuality of US sanctions against them for investing in Iran. Recently, Government Accountability Office (GAO) of US named Oil
and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC), Indian Oil Corp (IOC) and Oil India (OIL) along with two Chinese firms for having energy ties with
Iran, an act for which it can impose sanctions against them.
Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan though has not elaborated the details but has said that we will look at ways how our
companies won’t be affected by any adverse situation. He further said that “India will take its own stand, independent diplomatic
stand on the issue,” he said. “Certainly economic interest of our companies and country will be priority.”
The US Iran Sanctions Act provides for steps against persons, including foreign firms, investing more than $ 20 million in Iran’s
energy sector in any 12-month period. ONGC, IOC and OIL have been named for having 40 per cent, 40 per cent and 20 per cent
interest respectively in the Farsi block of Iran, though the three companies have said that exploration contract (for Farsi block)
expired in 2009 and that they had not carried out any activity after 2007 in the Farsi Block. They had proposed investing $5.5 billion
to produce gas from the 21.68 trillion cubic foot discovery they made in the offshore area located near the Saudi Arabian border.

In an encouragement to the auto makers, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) reported a strong February car
sales numbers. As per SIAM data domestic car sales grew 6.85% to 1,71,727 units in February, compared to 1,60,717 units in the
year ago period. SIAM stated that even though growth will remain in single digits, the passenger car sales is inching toward the
lower end of the growth guidance given by automobile trade body of 5-10% in Fy15 (2014-15) as passenger vehicle sales in the
first 11 months of the year to end-March rose 4 per cent to 2.36 million.
There was some concern from weakening rural sales that led to a 9% drop in motorcycle sales last month and could impact other
segment in the long term as the rural market accounts for nearly half of the two wheeler demand.Overall two-wheeler sales fell
0.99% to 12,08,084 units in February from 1220141 in the year ago period. Commercial Vehicle sales continued on recovery path
as its sales rose 10.13% to 52,843 units in February. Sales of heavy and medium trucks grew 38% to 18,767 units as demand
picked up in the mining, infrastructure and freight related segments.

Government likely to revise the ‘5/20’ rules for Indian carriers
In its effort to bring a balance between domestic and foreign carriers, the government is planning to revise the existing ‘5/20’ rules
for Indian carriers to operate international flights. The civil aviation ministry wants the criteria to fly abroad be based on technical
and financial parameters rather than the number of years of operation or the number of aircraft.
As per the existing norms, a domestic carrier wishing to fly abroad must possess a valid permit of operation, lease or purchase at
least 20 aircraft and have at least five years experience in the domestic skies. The ministry may also consider taking away unused
bilateral rights with existing airlines and give them to other carriers, including the new entrants who may be allowed to fly abroad.
In 2014, Indian carriers utilised 32 percent of the traffic rights on international routes against total entitlements available, while the
utilisation by foreign airlines stood at 62 percent during the same period. On lucrative European routes, Indian carriers used less
than 10 per cent of the capacity allocated to them, leaving most of the market share to foreign airlines. In the Asia-Pacific region,
foreign carriers have a 55 per cent share, while on India-US routes, domestic airlines hardly fly, despite the unlimited rights they
have.

Q3 current account deficit narrows; reaches 1.6% of GDP
In an encouraging development, India's current account deficit reached $8.2 billion, or 1.6% of gross domestic product, in the
October-December quarter, lower than the previous quarter but double from a year earlier. The current account deficit had reached
$4.2 billion or 0.9% of GDP a year earlier, while it reached $10.1 billion or 2.0% of GDP in the previous quarter. The reduction in
Q3FY15 CAD was primarily on account of net exports of services which picked up in q-o-q terms on the back of an improvement in
net earnings through travel and software services, and lower net outflows under primary income (profit, dividend and interest).
However, balance of payment (BoP) stood in surplus for fifth consecutive quarter at $13.2 billion during October- December
quarter. It was also almost double the $6.9 billion surplus in the previous quarter. This considerable improvement on a y-o-y basis
on the back of a higher growth in merchandise exports and a marginal rise in merchandise imports, with a sizable increase in net
financial flows financing the CAD and enabling a large build-up of reserves.
The merchandise trade deficit at $39.2 billion widened on a q-o-q basis on account of a larger decline in merchandise exports (7.3
per cent) than in merchandise imports (4.5 per cent); in terms of y-o-y changes too, the trade deficit in Q3 2014-15 widened due to
a decline in exports (1.0 per cent), while imports increased (4.5 per cent).
On a BoP basis, a net accretion of $ 13.2 billion to India’s foreign exchange reserves in Q3 of 2014-15 was reported, almost double
the accretion in the preceding quarter, but was lower than the same quarter of the previous year, bolstered by special non-resident
and banks’ overseas borrowings.
CAD during the first nine months of the fiscal, shrank to $26.2 billion or 1.7 percent of GDP against $ 31.1 billion or 2.3 percent of
GDP during the same period last fiscal. The trade deficit narrowed to $ 112.5 billion in the April-December period from $ 116.9
billion in the same period year-ago. For the first three quarters, the total accretion to the forex kitty was of $31.3 billion against a $
8.4 billion in the same three quarters of previous fiscal.
