Six Indians on Forbes' self-made billionaires list: Yahoo India

Six Indians on Forbes' self-made billionaires list

New York, Dec 2 (IANS) Six Indians, led by Sunil B. Mittal of Bharti group and Ramesh Chandra of Unitech, are among 20 self-made billionaires of Asia featured by Forbes magazine. The list also includes a Malaysian-Indian, Anand Krishnan.

Mittal is ranked third with a personal fortune worth $12.5 billion, followed by Chandra (4th, $11.6 billion) and Tulsi Tanti of Suzlon (5th, $10 billion). The other Indians are Gautam Adani of the now-diversified Adani Group (10th, $6.7 billion), G.M. Rao of infrastructure major GMR Group ($6.2 billion, 13th, and Uday Kotak of Kotak financial services group (20th, $4.6 billion).
Anand Krishnan of Malaysia, who is ranked sixth with a personal fortune of $7.4 billion, runs his country's largest mobile phone network, and also has a joint venture with the Chennai-based Sun TV group for satellite television.

Forbes says Sunil Mittal started his business in 1976 with just $1,500 borrowed from his father. 'Later he co-founded Bharti with two brothers. Now their Bharti Airtel is nation's largest mobile-phone operator with over 50 million customers.''When Indian billionaire G.M. Rao flunked the 10th grade, his father urged him to drop out and work with him. But Rao persuaded the village doctor, a family friend, to lean on his father to let him return to school,' Forbes says.
The magazine further says Rao was the first from his family to go school, joined the family's commodities business and then diversified into sugar, alloys and breweries, which had to close shop due to prohibition.

'Since then he has won bids to modernize airports at Hyderabad and Delhi. In July, he won a $2.7 billion contract to build a new airport terminal in Istanbul in a consortium with Malaysia Airports.' Ramesh Chandra, who is the son of a banker, studied structural engineering in Britain and later moved in to residential real estate, building middle-income housing in southern and eastern India.

The magazine says his flagship Unitech is now run by his two sons and expanding from residential development into theme parks and shopping malls.

Tanti has been described as a self-made billionaire who started as a textiles trader and turned to alternative energy when escalating power costs threatened to put him out of business.
'With three brothers, he started a wind power venture in 1995. Now, his Suzlon Energy is the largest wind power company by market-cap in the world.'

Adani, Forbes says, dropped out of college and started his enterprise in the 1980s, importing scarce plastic polymers. 'He took company public in 1994; moved into ports, call centers, edible oils.'Kotak, an ardent cricket fan who played for his college, spurred his family's trading business to start finance firm. He then converted the finance firm into a bank and his stocks are soaring since buying out Goldman Sachs last year.

GDP growth slows to 8.9% in Q2 : BusinessLine

GDP growth slows to 8.9% in Q2

The economy has registered a growth of 8.9 per cent in the second quarter (July-September) of the current fiscal. This is below the 10.2 per cent year-on-year increase in the gross domestic product (GDP) for the corresponding quarter of 2006-07 and also the 9.3 per cent growth of the first quarter of this fiscal.

“As anticipated, the overall growth has moderated”, admitted the Union Finance Minister, Mr P. Chidambaram. In the same breadth, however, he noted that the 8.9 per cent figure was close to the nine per cent level as earlier predicted. “I am still confident that growth for the whole year will be pretty close to nine per cent”, the Minister added.

First half growth
The GDP growth for the first half of 2007-08 works out to 9.1 per cent (against 9.9 per cent for April-September 2006-07), as per the estimates released by the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) here on Friday. The overall growth rate for 2006-07 amounted to 9.4 per cent, while it was nine per cent in 2005-06, 7.5 per cent in 2004-05 and 8.5 per cent in 2003-04.
Mr Chidambaram made it clear that the Government was not looking at growth hitting double digits this fiscal. But even if it turns out in the region of nine per cent, it would cap a five-year dream run, unprecedented in the recorded history of the country’s economy.

Deceleration
The moderation in GDP increase during the latest quarter was mainly due to lower growth of manufacturing (8.6 per cent against 12.7 per cent for July-September 2006). A similar deceleration was reported for ‘electricity, gas and water supply’ (7.3 per cent against 8.1 per cent), ‘trade, hotels, transport and communications’ (11.4 per cent against 14.2 per cent), ‘financing, insurance, real estate and business services’ (10.6 per cent against 11.1 per cent) and ‘community, social and personal services’ (7.8 per cent against 8.3 per cent).
The only sectors to buck the trend were ‘agriculture’ (which grew 3.6 per cent during July-September 2007, against 2.9 per cent) and ‘mining and quarrying’ (7.7 per cent versus 3.9 per cent). Construction, too, maintained its last year’s corresponding growth rate of 11.1 per cent.

Investment rates
Mr Chidambaram attributed the decline in manufacturing growth mainly to segments such as consumer durables. However, he based his overall optimism for the economy on the sustained investment rates, as measured by the ratio of gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) to GDP. This number (at constant 1999-2000 prices) stood at 30.3 per cent for July-September 2007, which was higher than the 28.6 per cent for July-September 2006 and 29.6 per cent for April-June 2006.
“The high GFCF rate of 30.3 per cent shows that buoyancy in investment remains intact and investment continues to be the driver of growth. It gives me the confidence that the year will end with a GDP growth pretty close to nine per cent”, the Finance Minister added.
