Top 20 rich Indians earn as much as 30 crore people
Top 20 rich Indians earn as much as 30 crore people in the country, former Reserve Bank Governor Bimal Jalan said on Friday while launching the high-profile NGO Public Interest Foundation here today. Pointing out that income disparities in the country have risen significantly, Jalan said the Foundation would endeavour to facilitate replication of best practices and success stories in social sector to the benefit of the deprived sections of the society. The high-profile NGO, launched on the eve of 59th Republic Day, will have cabinet secretary Naresh Chandra, CII mentor Tarun Das and noted industrialist Suresh Neotia as members of the governing council which will be headed by Jalan. The other members of the governing council will include chairman of UTI Bank Trust Arun Maira, advocate Shayamanand Jalan and industrialist Harshavardhan Neotia. Former chairman of Telecom Commission Anil Kumar will be the director of Foundation. "It is very critical to address the gap to improve the efficiency of public delivery system and that is the aim of the Foundation," Jalan said while elaborating the objectives of the NGO.
Former RBI chief also underlined the need for introducing a system of fixing accountability for implementation of the welfare schemes of the government. He further said that the state governments should be given some freedom to modify the centrally sponsored schemes to suit local conditions. The Foundation, which will initially function for a period three years, will run on interest of Rs 10 crore provided by the Neotia Foundation.

Video: Sensex makes a strong comeback

Bulls are back with a bang. Sensex zooms 1,140 points on hectic buying

NSE 5383.35 +349.90
BSE 18361.66 +1139.92

As the bulls charged back with a vengeance and kept lapping up stocks at will, it was a virtual one way trip up north for several blue chip stocks and the benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty today. Buying remained so strong and consistent that for almost the entire duration of the session, all the components of the premier indices remained in the positive zone.
The Wall Street, amid choppy trade, had ended on a positive note yesterday. A strong rally on the Asian bourses and expectations of a cut in interest rates contributed to the buoyant opening this morning.
The fiscal package announced by the US government to prevent a slowdown of its economy, strong corporate results from other parts of the globe and on the home front were among the factors that contributed to the market's sparkling show today. And, as the session progressed, a positive opening on the European bourses lifted the sentiment further.

The Sensex and Nifty recorded their biggest ever intra-day gains today. While the Sensex, which touched a high of 18,406.25, closed with a gain of 1139.92 points or 6.62% at 18,361.66, the Nifty, which zoomed to 5399.25, settled at 5383.35, up 349.90 points or 6.95% over its previous closing mark.

So frenzied was the buying in blue chips that at one point of time, when all Sensex stocks were up in the positive territory, despite recording a sharp 2.3% surge, ACC found itself at the bottom of the list.
Some of the heavily battered realty, metal and capital goods sectors bounced back strongly today. Mirroring the sharp gains posted by key realty stocks, the BSE Realty index shot up by 10.41%. Among other sectoral indices, BSE Metal surged 9.73% and the Bankex advanced by 7.53%. The Auto, Capital Goods, Consumer Durables, Healthcare, IT, Oil & Gas, Power, PSU and Teck indices moved up by 5.5% - 7% while the FMCG index, which gained the least, went up by 4.73%!
Reliance Energy (11.85%) and ICICI Bank (11.2%) were in the limelight almost right through the session today, but it was Hindalco (14%) which topped the list of Sensex gainers in the end.
Larsen & Toubro (9.95%), NTPC (9.15%), Bajaj Auto (9.05%), Bharti Airtel (7.3%), Infosys Technologies (7.1%), Mahindra & Mahindra (7.8%), ONGC (7.55%), Tata Motors (7.7%), Tata Steel (6.4%), Ranbaxy Laboratories (6.1%), Hindustan Unilever (6.25%) and HDFC Bank (6.25%) also closed with hefty gains.
Reliance Industries, which remained relatively subdued, closed with a sharp gain of 4.8%. Realty stock DLF and FMCG heavyweight ITC gained 5.9% and 5.15% respectively. ACC, BHEL, Cipla, DLF, Grasim Industries, HDFC, ITC, Maruti Suzuki, Satyam Computer Services, State Bank of India, Tata Consultancy Services and Wipro moved up by 2% - 5%. Ambuja Cements, which missed out on the rally, finished with a small gain. However, on the National Stock Exchange, the stock ended with a sharp gain.
Unitech (17.7%) was the biggest gainer from the Nifty pack. SAIL recorded a gain of 15%. Nalco moved up by 12.85%. HCL Technologies gained nearly 8.5%. Punjab National Bank, Reliance Petroleum, ABB, Cairn India, Dr Reddy's Laboratories, VSNL, Hero Honda, Siemens, Sun Pharmaceuticals, Sterlite Industries, Tata Power and GAIL India advanced by 4% - 8%. BPCL and Zee Entertainment also closed on a high note. Suzlon Energy and GlaxoSmithKline Pharma ended with modest gains.
Quite a number of midcap stocks recorded handsome gains. Reflecting investor interest for stocks in that space, the Midcap index firmed up by 6.41% today. After experiencing an uncertain period this afternoon, smallcap stocks bounced back sharply. The barometer tracking the movements of these stocks, ended stronger by over 4%.
The market breadth, which remained a bit negative at one stage, turned positive as the session drew to a close. Out of 2758 stocks traded on BSE, 1558 stocks closed with gains. 1164 stocks finished lower and 36 stocks ended at their previous closing levels

-----------------------------------
The Sensex opened with a huge positive gap of 282 points at 17,504. Considerable buying support saw the index move higher as the day progressed.The index zoomed to an intra-day high of 18,406 towards the closing bell. The Sensex finally ended with a record gain of 1,140 points (6.6%) at 18,362 - the first-ever, four-digit single day gain for the index.
The Nifty gained 350 points to close at 5,383.
The index, however, ended the week on a negative note - down 652 points (3.4%).

SBI Q3 consolidated net up 56%

State Bank of India Q3 net up 70%
State Bank of India, the country's biggest bank, reported a 70 percent rise in its third-quarter net profit on Thursday, beating forecasts as strong demand for loans in the booming economy lifted earnings. The government-run bank, which plans to raise $4.3 billion in a rights share issue within the next few months, said net profit rose to 18.09 billion rupees ($458 million) in the December quarter, from 10.65 billion rupees in the same period the previous year. The average forecast given by 12 analysts in a Reuters poll put the bank's third-quarter net profit up 33.6 percent at 14.23 billion rupees. Forecasts ranged between 12.09 billion and 19.16 billion rupees. Rival ICICI Bank last week beat forecasts with a 35 percent rise in net profits and analysts say banks are likely to report the strongest quarterly earnings growth of all the top companies in India. SBI's deposits at the end of December grew 26 percent to 5,101.32 billion rupees from a year ago, while credit advances grew 25.6 percent to 3,953.43 billion rupees, the bank said in a statement. "The average yield on advances improved substantially to 9.93 percent in December 2007 from 8.61 percent in December 2006," it said.

Strong economic growth has increased the demand for loans in India but a series of monetary policy tightening steps by the central bank, including interest rate rises and higher bank reserve requirements, has raised the risk of defaults. The bank said its ratio of non-performing assets was 1.44 percent, marginally lower than 1.45 percent a year ago. SBI has nearly 10,000 branches and 200,000 employees. Along with its subsidiary banks, SBI controls nearly a quarter of India's banking business, but it is facing rising competition. ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank are stepping up their operations, and foreign banks such as HSBC Holdings, Standard Chartered Bank and Citigroup Inc also have ambitious plans for India. Ahead of the results SBI's shares closed 0.9 percent up at 2,345.90 rupees in a weak Mumbai market, which was down 2.1 percent. During the quarter the bank's shares rose 21.6 percent, outperforming the 16 percent rise in ICICI Bank's shares and a 17 percent rise in the Bombay Stock Exchange index .
