Tata Power to invest Rs 1,000 cr to lay power cables in Mumbai

The country's largest private power generation company Tata Power plans to invest around Rs 1,000 crore over the next three years to lay its own cable network in Mumbai for power distribution, a senior company official said here.

"We will be investing around Rs 1,000 crore over the next three years to lay our own distribution network in Mumbai for supplying power to our customers," TPC Executive Director Sankaranarayanan Padmanabhan told reporters late yesterday after the company's AGM.

At present, TPC serves 8 lakh customers using the wire networks of BEST and Reliance Infrastructure to distribute electricity in the city and the suburbs, respectively.

TPC also has its own network in certain parts of the metropolis.

TPC is charged a fee called wheeling charges for distributing power through the RInfra and BEST networks, which the company then recovers from its consumers.

"Law allows wheeling and permits us to use the network of Reliance to distribute electricity in the suburbs. Before the Supreme Court order, we were not allowed to lay parallel network. But now we have rolled out a plan to lay our own network. We have put up a proposal to the MERC," he said.

In 2008, the Supreme Court had allowed TPC to supply electricity to retail consumers having a requirement of 1,000 KV or less in Mumbai.

Meanwhile, in a recent order, state electricity regulator MERC granted RInfra a licence to distribute electricity in the suburbs for 25 years, as the company's licence was due to expire on August 15.

MERC had rejected the proposals of four other bidders, including Torrent Power, Lanco Infrastructure, MSEDCL and Indiabulls, saying that they did not have their own networks in place, and granted Rinfra the licence in the "public interest".

Money Making Opportunities in slipping Markets. | www.tradetoprofit.in

Unless you happen to have a crystal ball, there's no way to know how the stock market is going to behave in the short term. That's why a solid education on the ways of the stock market is the only way to trade profitably. Of course, it's been mostly doom and gloom lately on the stock market and many people have lost a lot of money. Unsurprisingly, many others have made a lot of money.

When prices drop at the supermarket, it's a "sale" and people rush in to get the good deals. A bear market is nothing but a "sale" in the stock market, caused by many people wanting to sell their investments at the same time, and the prices go down. And just like any other sale, there are some real bargains to be found.

For those who are heavily invested in the stock market, falling stock prices are certainly a cause for concern. But for those who have been wanting to invest and were on the fence, it can present some great opportunities, if the companies they're about to invest in are well-run. Buying when everyone else is selling has the potential to bring great financial rewards.

The financial sector has taken the brunt of the hit in this crisis, and has dragged down other sectors as well. But that doesn't mean that all sectors are doing badly. Some companies have solid fundamentals and continue to be profitable. You're going to have to do your research in order to find those gems and buy them.

Back to our previous point about understanding the basics, you will need to look at those companies' financials to determine whether or not the current fall in stock price is caused by the company not doing very well or just caused by widespread pessimism about the economy.

The companies that you find to be performing near their traditional levels in terms of financial performance are the good "buys". While everyone is selling them, you can certainly make money picking them up, setting yourself up for great gains when the economy turns around.

$360M lost to insurgents, criminals in Afghanistan

WASHINGTON (AP) — After examining hundreds of combat support and reconstruction contracts in Afghanistan, the U.S military estimates $360 million in U.S. tax dollars has ended up in the hands of people the American-led coalition has spent nearly a decade battling: the Taliban, criminals and power brokers with ties to both.
The losses underscore the challenges the U.S. and its international partners face in overcoming corruption in Afghanistan. A central part of the Obama administration's strategy has been to award U.S.-financed contracts to Afghan businesses to help improve quality of life and stoke the country's economy.
But until a special task force assembled by Gen. David Petraeus began its investigation last year, the coalition had little visibility into the connections many Afghan companies and their vast network of subcontractors had with insurgents and criminals — groups military officials call "malign actors."
In a murky process known as "reverse money laundering," payments from the U.S. pass through companies hired by the military for transportation, construction, power projects, fuel and other services to businesses and individuals with ties to the insurgency or criminal networks, according to interviews and task force documents obtained by the AP.
"Funds begin as clean monies," according to one document, then "either through direct payments or through the flow of funds in the subcontractor network, the monies become tainted."
The conclusions by Task Force 2010 represent the most definitive assessment of how U.S. military spending and aid to Afghanistan has been diverted to the enemy or stolen. Only a small percentage of the $360 million has been garnered by the Taliban and insurgent groups, said a senior U.S. military official in Kabul. The bulk of the money was lost to profiteering, bribery and extortion by criminals and power brokers, said the official, who declined to provide a specific breakdown.
The official requested anonymity to discuss the task force's ongoing investigation into the movement of U.S. contract money in Afghanistan. The documents obtained by The Associated Press were prepared earlier this year and provide an overview of the task force's work.
Overall, the $360 million represents a fraction of the $31 billion in active U.S. contracts that the task force reviewed. But insurgents rely on crude weaponry and require little money to operate. And the illicit gains buttress what the International Crisis Group, a Brussels-based think tank, referred to in a June report as a "nexus between criminal enterprises, insurgent networks and corrupt political elites" in Afghanistan.
More than half the losses flowed through a large transportation contract called Host Nation Trucking, the official said. Eight companies served as prime contractors and hired a web of nearly three dozen subcontractors for vehicles and convoy security to ship huge amounts of food, water, fuel and ammunition to American troops stationed at bases across Afghanistan.
The Defense Department announced Monday that it had selected 20 separate contractors for a new transportation contract potentially worth $983.5 million to replace Host Nation Trucking. Officials said the new arrangement will reduce the reliance on subcontractors and diminish the risk of money being lost. Under the new National Afghan Trucking Services contract, the military will be able to choose from a deeper pool of companies competing against one another to offer the best price to move supplies. The new arrangement also gives the U.S. more flexibility in determining whether security is needed for supply convoys and who should provide it, according to a description of the contract.
The Pentagon did not provide the names of the 20 companies picked due to worries that larger contractors who weren't selected might try and coerce them into a takeover, the senior defense official said. None of the eight prime contractors affiliated with the Host Nation Trucking contract are part of the new arrangement, the official added.
HEB International Logistics of Dubai, a Host Nation Trucking prime contractor, "made payments directly to malign actors," one of the task force documents reads. In 2009 and 2010, an HEB subcontractor identified in the document only as "Rohullah" received $1.7 million in payments. A congressional report issued last year said Rohullah — whose name is spelled Ruhallah in that report — is a warlord who controlled the convoy security business along the highway between Kabul and Kandahar, the two largest cities in Afghanistan.
Half a dozen attempts to reach officials at HEB's offices in Dubai by telephone were unsuccessful due to calls being transferred and lines going dead. It is also the holy month of Ramadan when many employees work shortened days and offices close early.
The congressional report said Rohullah's hundreds of heavily armed guards operated a protection racket, charging contractors moving U.S. military supplies along the highway as much as $1,500 a vehicle. Failure to pay virtually guaranteed a convoy of being attacked by Rohullah's forces, said the report, "Warlord Inc." Rohullah's guards regularly fought with the Taliban, but investigators believe Rohullah moved money to the Taliban when it was in his interest to do so.
Both Rohullah and the security company he was affiliated with, Watan Risk Management, denied ever making payments to the insurgents, according to the report. But in December, the U.S. placed Watan in "proposed debarment status," which prevented it from signing new contracts or renewing existing contracts. Watan challenged the decision in federal court. Two weeks ago, Watan and U.S. officials signed an agreement that states the company may not bid on any mobile security contracts for the next three years. The ban does not affect other companies controlled by Watan's owners.
The task force also said contractors engaged in profiteering by forming dummy companies. A task force document shows three tiers of subcontractors below Guzar Mirbacha Kot Transportation, an Afghan-owned trucking company known as GMT. Four of the subcontractors appear on the first and second tiers, collecting $14.2 million in payments.
Basir Mujahid, a GMT representative in Kabul, said top company officials were in Dubai and could not be reached for immediate comment.
Power brokers — a term widely used in Afghanistan — refer to Afghans who leverage their political and business connections to advance their own interests.
Another task force document details the case of a power broker who owned a private security company and was known to supply weapons to the Taliban. The power broker, who is not named in the document, received payments from a contractor doing business with the U.S. Over more than two years, the power broker funneled $8.5 million to the owners of an unlicensed money exchange service used by insurgents, according to the document.
Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass., former chairman of the House oversight panel that investigated the wayward payments, said that the U.S. must stop the diversion of taxpayer dollars to the enemy. "When war becomes good business for the insurgents, it is all the more difficult to convince them to lay down their arms," Tierney said.
U.S. authorities in Afghanistan are screening contractors more carefully to be sure they can handle the work and also are trustworthy, the senior military official said. Authorities also are being more aggressive in barring companies if they violate contract terms or are found to be involved in illicit activities. Since the task force was created last year, the number of debarred Afghan, U.S. and international companies and individuals associated with contracting in Afghanistan has more than doubled — from 31 to 78, the official said.
Petraeus, who recently relinquished command in Afghanistan to become CIA director, told his commanders in a September 2010 memo to keep close watch over contracting dollars and "know those with whom we are contracting." Failing to do so could "unintentionally fuel corruption, finance insurgent organizations, strengthen criminal patronage networks, and undermine our efforts in Afghanistan," he wrote.
Tierney, the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform national security subcommittee, said the new trucking contract announced Monday is a welcome step. But he said he is still worried the military still lacks sufficient visibility and accountability over payments. The subcommittee has scheduled a hearing next month to examine the contract and the risks of outsourcing security in a combat zone.

Hindalco net profit jumps 21% in Q1

Hindalco, an Aditya Birla Group company, announced a 21% year-on-year jump in its net profit at Rs 644 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as against Rs 534 profit posted in the corresponding period in 2010. The company’s net sales at Rs 6,031 crore in April-June 2011 quarter were
up 16% from Rs 5,178 crore notched up in the same period last year. The increase comes despite flat volumes, as improved efficiency at the non-ferrous metals producer offset rising inflation and input costs.
“The results would have been better, but for the increased input costs (especially coal) and an appreciating rupee,” it said in a statement.
In its outlook, Hindalco said that the environment in both aluminum and copper businesses has become very challenging due to volatile London Metal Exchange, spiralling energy and other costs and non-availability of coal.

Anna Hazare | No permission for Aug 16 fast, Team Anna defiant

tradetoprofitConfrontation between Anna Hazare and Government escalated today with police denying permission to the Gandhian for holding a fast from tomorrow to press for a strong Lokpal Bill and his team declaring that they would go ahead with the planned stir and court arrest if prevented. Delhi

PM decries hunger strikes as means for ending corruption
Police's refusal of permission coincided with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's strong remarks in his Independence Day speech that hunger strikes and fasts-unto-death do not help address the problem of corruption and Parliament is the only body to form legislations to curb the menace.
The city police did not give its nod to hold the protest at Jai Prakash Narain Park near Ferozeshah Kotla stadium saying that the organisers have refused to give an undertaking on restricting the number of days of protest and protesters besides four other conditions.

Sudhir Yadav, joint commissioner of police (Northern Range), said anybody assembling at the Park tomorrow would face legal action.

"We have denied the permission. Nobody is supposed to come to the park. If somebody comes there, it is unlawful. They will be handled according to law. If they do that, it is violation of law," Yadav said as police prepared to lock down the grounds.

The Hazare team said they have given an undertaking leaving six out of the 22 conditions laid by police. "We have not accepted six conditions as they are unconstitutional," activists Arvind Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi said.

The activists said Hazare would go to the venue and court arrest if he and his supporters were not allowed to enter the park. "We will court arrest tomorrow. The conditions laid by the Delhi Police are unconstitutional. Unfortunately they are under directions," Bedi said.

Kejriwal alleged that the denial of permission showed the "dictatorial and arbitrary attitude" of government and that it was creating an Emergency-like situation.

Asked whether they would approach court against the Delhi Police action, Kejriwal said, "All options are open and there is an option to go to court." Lawyer Prashant Bhushan had yesterday said they may approach Supreme Court if a permission is denied.

The conditions that were not accepted by the Hazare team were capping the agitation to three days and the number of protesters to below 5,000, government doctors to check on Hazare, ban on use of loudspeakers after 9 PM, limiting the number of vehicles to 50 cars and 50 motorcycles in parking and not erecting tents.

Government, meanwhile, justified the police action with regard to Hazare's fast. Information and broadcasting minister Ambika Soni said the law of the land is the same for all and that everybody will have to take permission to carry out any protest.

A senior police official said they had been "very accommodating" and had gone out of the way to help the Hazare team. He said they would be forced to take action against them if they forcibly enter the park tomorrow.

However, Kejriwal alleged, "The conditions set by police were at the behest of politicians. Artificial restrictions were imposed on us. We won't agree to such unconstitutional methods." Soni denied these allegations.

Earlier in the day while addressing the nation on the occasion of Independence Day, the Prime Minister said those who are opposed to the bill should not resort to hunger strikes and fasts-unto-death.

Without naming Hazare and his agitation beginning here tomorrow, Singh said he was aware that some people had different opinion on some aspects of the lokpal bill.

"Those who don't agree with this bill can put forward their views to Parliament, political parties and even the press. However, I also believe they should not resort to hunger strikes and fasts-unto-death," the Prime Minister said.

Reacting to this, the Hazare team called him an "insensitive" person who is asking people to fall in line on the issue.

Bedi claimed people have no trust left in the UPA government which was elected two years back as it had "squandered" an opportunity to make history by enacting a law for strong anti-corruption ombudsman.

"He speaks like a final arbiter. He says you cannot protest. This is a direct imposition of a bill on people against their will. The Prime Minister is imposing a bill on the country and saying protest fast is wrong. The PM is asking people to fall in line," Bedi told PTI.

"He is insensitive to people's perception. Surveys after surveys and referendums after referendums showed that people rejected the government's lokpal bill. He is not taking this into account," she alleged.

Supporting the Hazare team on the issue, senior CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat said one's right to protest cannot be questioned even if you do not agree with the demands of the agitator.

"The point here is one may not agree with the form of protest or with all the demands being raised by Hazare. However, his right to protest cannot be questioned. Saying once a bill is in Parliament, there can be no protest in this country is highly undemocratic.

"The Congress has forgotten when it was in opposition and when it is in Opposition, even in the states there are so many occasions they do not agree with a bill and they have staged a protest," she said.
