ET : Gautam Adani, Another gujarati who made it big

Gautam Adani: Another gujarati who made it big

There is a 'Wagah Border' at the Mundra Port, a thriving private port in the heart of the barren lands of north Gujarat. Often, there is tension across the border. The workers on either side sometimes exchange greetings in Kutchi slang, but do not cross the LoC. The other side of the fence belongs to Dubai Port Word (DP World), a giant terminal operator from the Middle East that now owns and operates the container terminal at Mundra.

Mundra Port is owned and operated by the Adani Group while the terminal is operated by DP World through a sub-concession agreement. The two are now fighting a long legal battle at the Ahmedabad High Court, with a termination notice by the Adanis having been challenged by the Dubai operator. Adding fuel to fire were the recent public offerings by both the groups. Both Mundra Port and Special Economic Zone (MPSEZ) and DP World hit the primary markets in Mumbai and Dubai, respectively, in the same month, November 2007, but with different results.

While MPSEZ almost trebled its market cap to over $13 billion, DP World, after its mega takeover of British port operator P&O Ports, has seen its market cap slip from about $22 billion. The rivalry between the Adanis and DP World may be recent, but the aggressive chairman of the Adani Group—Gautam Adani—has picked up quite a few business foes as his fortunes soared in recent years.

He is now among the 10 richest Indians, and is nosing his way up the ladder. Many who ET spoke to say he draws many a parallel with the iconic Dhirubhai Ambani. Like Dhirubhai, he is a first-generation industrialist who came from Gujarat with big dreams. Mr Adani’s business instincts are very sharp and his rags-to-riches story is yet another example of the finely-developed business acumen of people from that coastal state.

NSE to revise lot size for 106 FnO contracts

The Hindu Business Line : NSE revises lot size for 106 securities


The NSE has revised the contract size for 106 securities in the derivative segment. Of these, the market lot of 92 securities has been revised downwards and that of 14 revised upwards. The revision will take effect from December 28; for 83 securities it would be for all month series, while for the rest 23, only farther month contracts – i.e. March 2008 series, would be considered for revision.

The lot size has been revised to meet SEBI guidelines, which prescribe a minimum value of Rs 2 lakh for a contract. Nagarjuna Fertilisers, which rose quite sharply in recent times, saw its market lot declining to 3,500 contracts from current lot of 14,000. Apart from Bank Nifty, contracts on ABB, Bank of India, Bharti Airtel, BPCL, HDFC, ICICI Bank, India Cements, JP Hydropower, Reliance, Rcom, SAIL, SBI and Tata Steel were among others whose market lot size has been cut down.

Lot size has been increased for Infosys, Sun TV and 3i Infotech among others.

India 3rd largest economy , after USA , China: Myiris.ComIndia 3rd largest economy , after USA , China: Myiris.Com

India 3rd largest economy , after USA , China

India emerges as the 3rd largest economy in terms of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), with its share in the world GDP growing to 6.4% in 2006.

Only USA and China are ahead of India, according to the mid -year review tabled in parliament on Dec. 7, 2007.

The Review says that the economic activity expanded at a substantial pace during the first half of the current fiscal. Industry remained one of the main drivers of the economic growth, but it moderated to 9.2 % during April to September 2007 as compared to 11.1 % during the same period last year.

Exports in Dollar terms continued to maintain a healthy growth of 18.5 % despite appreciating Rupee. The review unveils that high returns on equity and higher interest rates with rise in global private capital flows have resulted in the country receiving large capital. This includes Foreign Direct Investments (FDI), Portfolio Investments (PI) and External Commercial Borrowings (ECB).

In the 10th Five Year Plan, the GDP growth averaged 7.6% annually, which is higher than the growth of 5.5% in the 9th Plan. The Per Capita Income (PCI) growth average at 6.1% per annum in the 10th Plan as against 3.4% in the previous plan.

Service sector continues to be mainstay of the economy and the resurgence in industrial activity has provided stability to the growth process.
