US tech spend to fall 3.1% this year

New Delhi, April 1 Forrester Research on Wednesday lowered its outlook
on US tech purchases for 2009. It said that the purchase of IT goods
and services by American businesses and Government is expected to drop
3.1 per cent in 2009.

But there is some cheer for IT outsourcing vendors. The report
predicts that while consulting and systems integration services will
slip, IT outsourcing growth will be small, but positive at 2.1 per
cent. It could improve to 6.8 per cent in 2010.

"With the US economy dropping at an annual rate of 6.3 per cent in Q4
2008 and most professional economic forecasters reducing their
predictions for 2009 US real GDP growth, Forrester has revised its
projection for technology spending in the US to reflect these changes.
Forrester expects growth in IT investment will resume in Q4 2009 and
gather strength in 2010," the report said.

Accordingly, it has revised its initial projection of 1.6 per cent
annual rise in US business and government IT purchases, and instead
stated that the same will drop 3.1 per cent in 2009.

"In many ways, the biggest factor affecting the tech market is not the
recession but the breakdown of the financial system. The credit crunch
is still causing companies to dramatically cut back on all forms of
capital investment, including many IT goods and services, and this
will affect 2009 revenues for most IT vendors," said Mr Andrew
Bartels, Forrester Research Vice-President and principal analyst.

The data in the report focuses on IT purchasing across various
segments — computer and communications equipment, software, IT
consulting - integration services, and IT outsourcing.

Forecast by sectors
Forrester expects that US' purchases of computer equipment will drop
6.8 per cent in 2009, on top of a 4 per cent decline in 2008. However,
growth is expected to bounce back in 2010 to 7 per cent, it said.

Communications equipment demand will shift from 2008 growth, to a big
cut in 2009. "A mixture of enterprise demand for video conferencing
and mobile technologies and telecom companies demand for 3G wireless
and broadband equipment kept purchases growing 3.7 per cent in 2008.
Both factors will erode in 2009, leading to a 7.8 per cent decline,
but growth will revive modestly in 2010 to 4.8 per cent," it said.

Software purchases will decline slightly in 2009, with licence
revenues falling. The picture will improve in 2010, with growth of 6.3
per cent, it projected.

IT consulting and systems integration services too will slip in 2009.
Cutbacks in the project portfolio of most companies will lead to a
decline of 2 per cent in 2009 for such services. According to the
Forrester report, the outlook for 2010 remains positive for this
space, with 7.4 per cent growth expected next year.

IT outsourcing
However, IT outsourcing could well buck this overall gloom, clocking a
moderate growth in 2009 and 2010. "IT outsourcing turned out to be
weak in 2008, with 2.8 per cent growth as the economic uncertainty
froze potential clients, increased competition and smaller-scale
projects cut prices, and the recession caused prospects to wait to see
if prices would get even lower. These same forces will continue
through the first half of 2009, with revenues starting to improve in
the second half of 2009 and in 2010. Growth in 2009 will be small but
positive at 2.1 per cent, improving to 6.8 per cent in 2010,"
Forrester said.

Trade deficit rises to $115 b in April-Feb

New Delhi, April 1 The country's exports, continuing the downslide for
the fifth month in a row this fiscal, suffered a serious jolt with a
steep decline by 22 per cent at $11.9 billion in February 2009,
against $15.2 billion in the corresponding month last year.

With imports too plummeting by a huge 23.3 per cent at $16.8 billion,
($21.9 billion), India's foreign trade front groans under the
unenviable triple whammy of declining exports and imports with
cumulative massive trade deficit of $115 billion in the first 11
months of the current fiscal, against a trade deficit of $82.2 billion
for the whole of 2007-08.

Cumulative exports
In this depressing scenario, cumulative exports in the first 11 months
of 2008-09 have come to a grinding halt slowing down to 7.3 per cent
at $156.6 billion against $145.87 billion in the corresponding months
of 2007-08. But thanks to the depreciation of the Indian rupee
vis-À-vis the US dollar, in which a major portion of the export
receipts is received, the export growth in rupee terms has swollen
substantially to log a growth of 20.3 per cent.

Cumulatively, India's exports during April-February 2008-09 at $271.7
billion ($228 billion) registered 19.1 per cent growth in dollar terms
and 33.4 per cent growth in rupee terms at Rs 12,23,213 crore (Rs
9,17,179 crore).

March estimates
Official sources told Business Line here that quick estimates of March
2009 show that there would be at least 25 per cent dip as compared to
the corresponding month of 2008 when exports fetched $16.3 billion in
a single month.

Making due allowance to the high base of last March, the exports could
still be at best $12 billion or thereabouts, taking the overall export
receipts for the current fiscal at $168 billion, against the original
target of $200 billion and scaled-down target of $170 billion for
2008-09.

Outlook
Reacting to the steepest decline in exports in February 2009, the
Federation of Indian Export Organisations President, Mr A. Sakthivel,
said the combined decline in both exports and imports would impact the
manufacturing sector already reeling under slowdown. He, however,
hoped that the next fiscal would see a turnaround with likely
improvement in overseas markets.

However, Moody's Economy.com contends that "tough times for Indian
exporters will last for some time yet as giant economies such as the
US and Europe are still deep in recession".

While pointing out that the Government would continue to be under
pressure to support struggling export-oriented manufactures in the
coming months, it said that imports would also remain in negative
territory in the coming months, reflecting the still-subdued global
commodity prices coupled with a decline in domestic demand.

Import break-up
A break-up in import component shows that oil imports in February '09
at $4 billion were 47.5 per cent lower than such imports valued at
$7.7 billion in the corresponding month of '08, while cumulatively oil
imports at $89.7 billion was 26.8 per cent higher than $70.7 billion
in the corresponding period of '07.

Non-oil imports in Feb '09 at $12.7 billion was 10.2 per cent
lower$14.2 billion), reflecting the decline in the import of capital
goods and intermediates and raw materials for sustaining domestic
manufacturing activities.

Overall, non-oil imports at $182 billion were up by 15.6 per cent than
such imports valued at $157.4 billion in the 11 months of 2007-08.

Shipbuilding subsidy: ABG can claim Rs 1,700 cr, Bharati Rs 1,000 cr

New Delhi, April 1 ABG Shipyard can claim Rs 1,700 crore as
shipbuilding subsidy from the Government, followed by Pipavav Shipyard
(Rs 1,050 crore) and Bharati Shipyard (Rs 1,000 crore) over the next
four-five years.

Larsen and Toubro can claim Rs 375 crore, Tebma Shipyards Rs 270 crore
and the Government-owned Cochin Shipyard can claim Rs 255 crore,
according to sources in the know.

The Government, in the last week of February, approved a move to
disburse about Rs 5,100 crore as shipbuilding subsidy to domestic
shipyards for orders secured till August 15, 2007. The subsidy will be
disbursed when the shipyard concerned delivers the ships to its
customers. So, in case a buyer cancels his order due to any reason,
the shipyard will not receive any subsidy for that order.

ABG Shipyard has deliveries lined up till 2013, for which it can claim
the Rs 1,700 crore subsidy. "Based on our current delivery position, a
subsidy of Rs 120 crore is already due. The Rs 1,700-crore subsidy is
for orders that will be delivered till 2013," Mr Dhanajay Datar, Chief
Financial Officer, ABG Shipyard, told Business Line.

ABG currently has an order book of Rs 11,400 crore and says that till
date it has not seen any move to delay or cancel orders from its
buyers.
Bharati Shipyard, meanwhile, has already delivered vessels for which
the Government has to disburse subsidies of "about Rs 300 crore."

"Most of the vessels, for which we can claim the Rs 1,000-crore
subsidy will be delivered by 2011 and some by 2012," Mr V. Kumar,
Managing Director, Bharati Shipyard, said.

On whether Bharati Shipyard has seen any order cancellations from its
buyers for these ships, Mr Kumar replied in negative. "We have seen
some delays in payments but no cancellations," Mr Kumar said.

Meanwhile, there is Pipavav Shipyard, which secured orders before
August 15, 2007, but has not started delivering as yet. The domestic
shipbuilders have also demanded extension of shipbuilding subsidy
beyond 2007.

March redemptions halt bullish AUM numbers’ rally

utual fund AUM rose to Rs5 trillion in February from Rs4 trillion in November

Indian mutual funds may have seen an outflow of as much as Rs50,000
crore from their assets under management (AUM) in March under heavy
redemption pressure from banks before the end of the fiscal, according
to people in the asset management business.

Mutual fund AUM rose to Rs5 trillion in February from Rs4 trillion in
November. According to data available with the Association of Mutual
Funds of India (Amfi), investments in liquid or money market schemes
contributed Rs42,000 crore in January and February alone, accounting
for at least 42% of the increase.
The run-up in AUM may have been short-lived, according to people in
the mutual fund industry who didn't want to be named.
Of the Rs42,000 crore parked in liquid schemes in January and
February, at least 95% was invested for the short term by banks, which
redeemed money from such funds before Tuesday's end of fiscal 2009 in
order to maintain adequate capital on their balance sheets, these
people said.
Fixed-income heads across the mutual fund industry and distributors
told CNBC-TV18 that as much as Rs50,000 crore had been redeemed.
People at one of the country's large mutual fund houses said banks had
redeemed Rs6,000 crore of the Rs8,000 crore they had parked in its
liquid funds. More redemptions are not being ruled out, they said.
SBI Mutual Fund, too, has witnessed the redemption of Rs3,000-3,500
crore by banks from its liquid schemes, people said.
People at UTI Mutual Fund said banks likely pulled out money to the
tune of Rs3,500 crore from its liquid schemes. Companies, too, may
have withdrawn Rs5,000-6,000 crore in March.
"This is a seasonal tendency and is chiefly for tax purposes. The
money is kept for short term and will eventually come back into the
schemes," said A.P. Kurian, chairman of Amfi.

Reliance Says Refinery Fire Under Control, None Hurt

April 1 (Bloomberg) -- A fire at the coker unit of Reliance Industries
Ltd.'s new refinery at Jamnagar, Gujarat, has been brought under
control, said V.P. Patel, district administrator.

"There was a minor fire in a section of the refinery," Reliance said
in an e-mailed statement. "The rest of the refinery is operating
normally and product despatch is continuing as per schedule."

Reliance's unit Reliance Petroleum Ltd. commissioned the 580,000
barrel a day refinery in December. Together with the parent's
adjoining 660,000 barrel a day refinery, the complex is the world's
largest crude-processing unit.

"The fire was localized, contained and brought under control by the
Reliance firefighting team within 30 minutes," the company said.
"There have been no casualties or any injuries."

District collector Patel confirmed the incident in a phone interview.

Warren Buffett: US Treasuries in Bubble Territory

Warren Buffett said Treasuries are in a bubble right now. What does that mean?
A: Warren Buffett's annual letters to Berkshire Hathaway investors are
always worth reading. The letters are one part common sense, one part
business sense and one part shareholder information.

In one section, Buffett points to the current rush into U.S. Treasury
bills, notes and bonds as the latest bubble in capital markets. He
writes: "When the financial history of this decade is written, it will
surely speak of the Internet bubble of the late 1990s and the housing
bubble of the early 2000s. But the U.S. Treasury bond bubble of late
2008 may be regarded as almost equally extraordinary."

Yes, you read that right. Buffett is saying the value of U.S. Treasury
securities has been pushed to bubble levels. Certainly, panic over the
health of the financial system has pushed investors to buy dollars and
load up on Treasuries.

When investors rush to buy Treasuries, they push prices up and yields
down. In fact, at one point last year, buyers in short-term Treasuries
were willing to accept negative yields. That is, they were willing to
take back less money than they were lending, if only to be assured
that they would get most of their money back.

Adding to the risks facing Treasuries is the fact inflation could be a
side-effect of the government's massive borrowing and spending to
stimulate the economy. If inflation kicks in, Treasury prices will
likely suffer. If at the same time investors choose to escape this
safe haven, Treasury prices could be in for a big fall.

What does all this mean? It means you shouldn't lock up all your money
in long-term Treasuries.

If interest rates rise, you could see the prices of your Treasuries
fall. And remember, when buying bonds, it's a good idea to ladder your
portfolio.

Realty prices continue downward trend in oct-dec quarter

Mumbai, March 31 Property prices continued their downward trend in the
October- December quarter and the worst-hit cities include Delhi –
NCR, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai, a quarterly review of property
portal 99acres.com said.

Prices at Miyapur (Hyderabad) and Rajarhat (Kolkata) registered a
decline of about 25 per cent in the quarter, the portal said.

With over three lakh listings, the report is a compilation of asking
rates (price demanded by the seller/builder/broker) of residential
apartments (2-3BHK apartments) for buy/rent. It presents a trend of
property prices and rentals across Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai,
Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune.

"I expect the trend to continue for a few more quarters until prices
bottom out and the market stabilises on the interest rate front, which
will make the market lucrative for consumers to re-enter," said Mr
Vineet Singh, Business Head, 99acres.com

Property prices in Delhi declined during the quarter
(October-December) compared to the previous quarter. Dwarka witnessed
a steep decline by 15 per cent, Noida experienced a drop of up to 20
per cent and Gurgaon saw a further decline in prices by seven to eight
per cent.

On the rental front, some localities such as Rohini, Vasundra Enclave
and Lajpat Nagar saw an increase in rentals by about 20 per cent,
while Connaught Place, Vasant Kunj, Malviya Nagar and Janakpuri
declined by about 15 per cent. Rentals in Noida dropped by about 15
per cent, while at Gurgaon it was stable, compared to the earlier
quarter.

Mumbai, Kolkata
Mumbai Realty market saw a decline in property prices. Localities such
as Bhayander (East), Vashi and Thane West saw prices drop by 10 per
cent.

Rentals in Prabhadevi and Beach Candy saw an increase by over 50 per
cent, while Dahisar, Seawoods and Kharghar declined more than 20 per
cent.

Property prices continued to decline in Kolkata in the quarter under
review and prices at EM Bypass declined by 17 per cent, while Rajarhat
saw a decline of about 25 per cent.

Rentals in Kolkata stabilised during the quarter to some extent and
some localities such as Alipore and Jadhav Pur continued an upward
trend with an increase of over 20 per cent.

Southern cities
Chennai saw a steep decline in property prices in some localities as
compared to the previous quarter with prices in Perungudi and
Valasaravakkam dropping by 15-20 per cent. Rentals too declined during
the period with Kilpauk, T. Nagar and Medavakkam registering a drop of
over 20 per cent.

Bangalore was among the first cities to be affected by the slowdown,
where property prices declined sharply during the year. However, the
October – December quarter saw some stability in prices, compared to
the previous quarter. But, rentals slipped with areas such as
Thipassandra, Maleshpalaya and Kaggadasapura, showing a decline of
over 25 per cent.

Property prices in Hyderabad declined sharply. Prices in Madhapur
dropped by 11 per cent, while in Miyapur the decline was over 25 per
cent.

Rentals at Miyapur and Nizampet corrected by over 20 per cent and
places such as Somajiguda and Madhapur further declined by over 30 per
cent.

BOP data for Q3 sounds a new warning

BoP data for Q3 sounds a new warning
The situation triggers fears of the twin-deficit problem that preceded
the onset of the balance of payments crisis in '90
Asit Ranjan Mishra
New Delhi: In yet another signal of the growing vulnerability of the
Indian economy, data for the third quarter (Q3) ended December,
released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Tuesday, shows that
some parameters have progressively deteriorated over the year and are
close to levels touched during the economic crisis of 1990, though the
cushion of a $238 billion (Rs12.14 trillion) foreign currency reserve
provides succour.
Also See Sinking Fortunes (Graphic)
With the combined fiscal deficit of the states and the Centre likely
to hit a record high of 12% of gross domestic product (GDP), the
latest data has triggered fears of the twin-deficit—current account
and fiscal deficit—problem that preceded the onset of the balance of
payments (BoP) crisis in 1990.
The latest development comes against the backdrop of an estimated loss
of half-a- million jobs and contraction in industrial growth and
exports in December and January.
India's current account deficit, or the difference between exports and
imports of goods and services, during Q3 of the fiscal 2008-09
(October-December) widened to $14.6 billion, the highest quarterly
deficit since 1990. At this level, the current account deficit in Q3
aggregated 5.43% of GDP.
The current account deficit more than offset the capital inflows into
the country, resulting in a deficit on the capital account of BoP for
the first time in a quarter in 10 years. The combined impact led to a
drawdown of India's forex reserves by $17.88 billion.
During Q3, while foreign institutional investors (FIIs) withdrew $5.7
billion, there was an outflow of banking capital, excluding deposits
by non-resident Indians (NRIs) of $6 billion from India. However, NRI
deposits increased to $1 billion, compared with $259 million receipts
during the second quarter (Q2) of fiscal year 2009.
Analysts, however, maintain that while the outlook will improve in
2009-10, the rupee could come under further pressure.
"Certainly, the balance of payments is under stress. However, we are
getting some relief on current account front as imports are also
declining. I hope FY10 will be much better on the BoP front than FY09.
We may have a small BoP surplus in FY10 compared to a deficit in
FY09," said Abheek Barua, chief economist at HDFC Bank Ltd.
The main reason for the deterioration in the current account deficit
is the sudden slump in net invisibles in Q3 to $21.6 billion, from
$25.6 billion in Q2 ended September.
Invisibles receipts registered a marginal decline of 0.6% in Q3 on
account of a decline in travel, transportation and insurance receipts
in the services category and private transfers.
Software exports, contracted by 10% compared to the second quarter
ended September.
Exports extended last quarter's slump, dropping 16% in January from a
year earlier, the biggest slide in a decade.
As a result, the rupee has rapidly depreciated, tumbling by 21% in the
last one year to touch an all-time low of Rs52.185 to the dollar on 3
March. The rupee is the second-worst performer in the period among the
10 most-used currencies in Asia outside Japan.
The Asian Development Bank in its Asian Development Outlook 2009
released on Tuesday said that India's current account deficit will
narrow to 1.5% of GDP in FY10 but then widen a little to 2% of GDP in
the following year. "Capital inflows will remain under stress
throughout FY10. A weakening capital account will put pressure on the
Indian rupee to depreciate. In FY10, a fall of about 10% in exports
and imports, will improve the trade and current account deficits,
since imports are larger than exports," it said.

Market downturn dries up ELSS dividend payouts

The stock market carnage has not spared equity linked saving schemes
(ELSS), with the dividend declared by fund houses seeing a sharp fall
in FY 2008-09 from the previous fiscal. The average dividend declared
in FY 2008-09 was 28 per cent as against 44 per cent declared in FY
2007-08.
Twenty three schemes had declared dividend in the previous fiscal
ranging between 15 per cent and 200 per cent, while this fiscal this
number has come down to 9 schemes declaring dividend from 10 per cent
to 50 per cent. Only five fund houses announced divided in 9 ELSS
schemes. These include Birla Sun Life MF, HDFC Mutual, ICICI
Prudential AMC, Franklin India AMC and Taurus. This is in sharp
contract to the earlier year when 17 fund houses declared dividend in
23 ELSS schemes.
In FY 2008-09, Taurus Libra Tax Shield ruled the roost, giving
dividend three times at 10 per cent each in December, January and
March. HDFC Tax Saver and Birla Sun Life Tax Relief 96 gave highest
dividend o f 50 per cent in March and June respectively during the
current fiscal.
In FY 2007-08, Birla Sun Life Tax Relief 96 declared the highest
dividend of 200 per cent while HDFC Tax Saver disbursed 80 per cent
dividend. The ex-dividend NAVs for these two schemes stood at Rs 86.74
and Rs 58.092 on March 25, 2008 and March 8, 2008 respectively. The
same eroded to Rs 66.86 and Rs 26.155 on June 27, 2008 and March 6,
2009.
Most of the ELSS schemes have not booked any profit and hence they
don't have any surplus income. In such conditions, declaring dividend
is nothing but a gimmick to lure investors, fund distributors said.
"Bruised by the tumbling market, investors have already seen huge
erosion in their NAVs. Declaring dividend will bring down the NAV
further," said Hiren Dhakan, mutual fund analyst, Bonanza Portfolio.
Vinay Shukla, senior vice president, India Infoline, said, "MFs are
guided by the psychology of investors who feel ELSS schemes declaring
dividend are only worth investing and performing."
"Declaring dividend also involves overhead costs, which will directly
impact the NAV of a scheme later," added Shukla.
