Sensex ends 58 pts up : Sify Finance

Sensex ends 58 pts up

NSE 5954.70 14.70
BSE 19795.87 57.80

The Sensex, which breached the 20,000 mark at the bell - it opened at 20,018.17, around 280 points higher than its previous closing mark - and edged up to 20,064.31 in early trade. Strong global markets and some stock specific developments contributed to the early surge today. However, the market turned a bit choppy after that as participants appeared reluctant to hold on to their positions at higher levels.

A sudden and sharp bout of selling pressure even pushed the Sensex down into the red during the fag end of the session. However, thanks to buying at lower levels, a few front line stocks regained some lost ground and the barometer managed to sign off on a positive note today.
While the Sensex closed with a gain of 57.80 points or 0.29% at 19,795.87, the Nifty, which hit a new all-time high this morning when it rose to 6027.05 after opening at 5941.05, ended the day with a modest gain of 0.25% or 14.70 points at 5954.70. The Nifty plunged to a low of 5919.80 as selling pressure engulfed the market during the closing minutes.

Cipla (4.9%), ICICI Bank (3.25%), Reliance Energy (3.15%), HDFC (2.65%), Bharti Airtel (2.3%), Infosys Technologies (2%), DLF (1.75%), Mahindra & Mahindra (1.45%) and Ranbaxy Laboratories (1.3%) recorded strong gains today.

Maruti Suzuki moved up by 0.9%. State Bank of India and Tata Motors ended higher by around half a per cent. Hindustan Unilever, NTPC, Reliance Communications and Tata Consultancy Services moved up marginally. Ambuja Cements and ITC ended almost unchanged from their previous closing levels.

Hindalco eased by 3.1% to Rs 193. Grasim Industries lost more than 3%. Bajaj Auto (down 2.55%), HDFC Bank (down 2.4%), Tata Consultancy Services (down 2.1%), BHEL (down 1.3%), ONGC (down 1.15%), Wipro (down 1.1%) and Reliance Industries (down nearly a per cent) also closed with sharp losses. ACC slipped by 0.9%. Larsen & Toubro and Satyam Computer Services also closed on a weak note.

Sun Pharmaceuticals, SAIL, Zee Entertainment, Punjab National Bank, BPCL, Tata Power and MTNL were among the prominent losers in the Nifty index. Hero Honda, GAIL India, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation and ABB also finished with sharp losses.

Unitech zoomed to a high of Rs 445.80 in intra-day trades and despite finishing far lower at Rs 430.20, posted a smart gain of 9.5%. Sterlite Industries notched up a gain of 3.45%. Suzlon Energy (2.7%), Siemens (2.65%), Reliance Petroleum (1.65%) and Nalco (1.2%) also ended on a firm note.

Chambal Fertilizers, Omaxe, FDC, Apollo Tyres, HTMT Global, Idea Cellular, JB Chemicals, Mirc Electronics, Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers, Bongaigaon Refinery, Aditya Birla Nuvo, Mastek, Asahi India and Aurobindo Pharma were among the notable gainers today.
Jindal Saw, Godrej Consumer Products, Tata Elxsi, Geometric Software, Exide Industries, Escorts, Neyveli Lignite Corporation, Arvind Mills, Gujarat Minerals, Bombay Dyeing, Indian Overseas Bank, Jaiprakash Associates, Syndicate Bank, Ingersoll Rand, Mangalore Refineries & Petrochemicals and Alok Industries drifted lower on selling pressure.

Thanks to strong buying in midcap and smallcap stocks, the market breadth remained positive right through the session today. Out of 2887 stocks traded on BSE, 1805 stocks closed on a positive note. 1043 stocks ended in the negative territory and 39 stocks finished at their previous closing levels.

RIL eyes world-scale acquisitions of upto $15 bn : ET

RIL eyes world-scale acquisitions of upto $15 bn

India's top private energy group, Reliance Industries Ltd, signalled a major shift in growth strategy on Wednesday, saying it was on the prowl for world-scale acquisitions of up to $15 billion as soon as next year. Reliance, controlled by India's wealthiest man, Mukesh Ambani, has grown into one of the world's leading refiners and petrochemical firms by following an organic path, while powerful Indian peers such as Tata Group expanding aggressively overseas.

But that may be about to change, Atul Chandra, the president of Reliance's international oil business, said at the Reuters India Investment Summit. "We would be looking at major acquisitions, there is no question, because our growth cannot come only in the organic. We are always looking at opportunities where we find hidden value," he said. "All companies look for acquisitions all the time, but I can say that we would look more seriously from this year onward." "If we do something it will be world scale, it will be a major acquisition ... Such acquisitions could be in excess of $10 billion to $15 billion," said Chandra, who leads the global hunt for oil and gas assets for India's biggest listed firm.

He did not say whether the company would be more likely to buy into upstream exploration or production assets, or to expand its core downstream refining and petrochemical activities. Reliance finished building its 660,000 barrels-per-day (bpd) export-oriented refinery in western India in 2000, and next year subsidiary Reliance Petroleum will commission an adjacent plant that will lift joint capacity to over 1.2 million bpd, making it the biggest such complex in the world.

With growing crude oil demand Reliance, which has a market capitalisation of more than $100 billion, needs to boost overseas output to help ensure supplies, he said. "We would like to have oil production close to 400,000 bpd for ourselves, as a part of supply security for the refinery," said Chandra, who led the successful overseas expansion of state-owned ONGC Videsh in the 1990s. "We hope 100,000 bpd should be available from India. Therefore I should look at another 300,000 bpd overseas." Reliance could begin looking for more refining deals once the $6 billion refinery project is finished in mid-2008, he said. "At this time when the construction is on the peak we would not like to divert our resources, but we would like to look for such opportunities in four to five months," he said.

Tata Steel Ltd made corporate India's biggest-ever overseas takeover with its $13 billion purchase of Corus this year, but Reliance's acquisitions -- such as Malaysian polyester maker Hualon for a reported $250 million this year -- have been of a far smaller scale. In 2005, it was linked to a possible bid for Innovene, oil major BP Plc's petrochemicals business, which was sold to British chemicals firm INEOS for $9 billion.

Know About: BCG, McKinsey

Boston Consulting Group

The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) is a prestigious management consulting firm founded by Bruce Henderson in 1963. The company was formed when Henderson, a Harvard Business School alumnus, left Arthur D. Little to accept the challenge from the CEO of the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company to start a consulting arm for the bank.In 1965 Henderson thought that to survive, much less grow, in a competitive landscape occupied by hundreds of larger and better-known consulting firms, a distinctive identity was needed, and pioneered "Business Strategy" as a special area of expertise for BCG.
