Satyam ADR UP!!

Satyam computers is up around 60% today in the US markets. Tomorrow indian market will be closed on account of Mahavir Jayanti so traders in india wont be able to see this upswing in local market. If the rally continues tomorrow then probably on wednesday Satyam computer could see a big upswing.

Wilbur Ross and Larsen & Toubro (L&T) might be planning to jointly bid for Satyam. Satyam is going to decide stake sale on 13th April.

As the date of stake sale is nearing the stock is showing fresh interest after sagging for last fews days.

India Votes 2009 General Elections.

World's largest democracy with more than 1 billion people will go into election in few weeks. I am happy to see lot of voter activism this year and hope that people of this country will vote for good people and for a stable goverment.

From jaago re campaign [jaagore.com] helping people to get their voter id registration done to other thousands of NGOs are extensively involved in the awareness campaign.

National Election watch is providing information about right to vote and electoral reforms. It has the facts and figures about all the MPs in the current lok sabha.

LOK SABHA 2004 - FACTS AND FIGURES


Amir Khan is also involved with the association for democratic reforms and has produced videos aired on television urging voters to vote.



To do my own part, I would request all the blog readers to exercise their franchise and spare some time on the election day to vote.

Reliance Natural Gas flows naturally

Reliance has started pumping gas from its KG basin. It took just 7 years to begin production from the date of discovery from the deap-sea krishna godavari basin block. RIL is expected to have revenue of $42 billion over its life of 11 years.

RIL has started signing gas sale agreement with many fertilizer companies. This will reduce the dependency on the expensive naphtha and gas imports. It will also bring down the subsidy in the fertilizer sector. The gas is already cheaper than panna/mukta and tapti fields.By 2010 field will be running at its full capacity.

India's energy import bill is going to reduce by 10% or around $9 billion annually because of the indigenously produced gas.

Reduced imports will make rupee probably stonger due to less demand for dollar to buy crude/LNG. Mounting trade deficit should also see some relief.
Current account deficit is expect to improve by 0.6% of the GDP. Reduced deficit should support fresh economic growth.

Energy landscape of india is going to change because idle power plant starved of fuel will be able to access this gas and will also help produce cheaper urea for agriculture.

Reliance share rose 5.3 % on account of this news.
