OMDC to add sheen to RINL public issue valuation
Orissa Mineral Development Co Ltd (OMDC), the listed step down mining subsidiary of RINL, is likely to add shine to RINL’s (Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd) forthcoming IPO valuation. But OMDC is still struggling to come out of six year-long dark patch.
“The debt-free OMDC’s high market capitalisation, reserves and deemed asset base will cast favourable light on RINL’s share valuation,” an RINL senior official told Business Line.
RINL sources said the Department of Disinvestment is currently having a final look at the red herring prospectus (RHP) before its filing with the SEBI shortly. The RHP will figure strengths and weaknesses of 2011-acquired public sector Bird Group of Companies — EIL, the holding company, and its two mining arms, OMDC and Bisra Stone Lime Co (BSLC).

State electricity boards' 50% debt to be recast in bailout
The Union Cabinet is scheduled to consider a bailout package for ailing power distribution companies (discoms) as they. The package proposes stringent conditions for the states and discoms for being eligible for this package.
The extensive and detailed proposal spreads over almost 150 pages odd. Sources say that according to the proposal, 50% loans will be taken over by the states, the other 50% to be rescheduled by the lenders. One of the key details in the proposal is the three year transitional finance mechanism (TFM) which essentially is means the package will fund the operational losses of the state electricity boards whose loans, short-term liabilities are going to be restructured.

Change in RBI stance
Things seemed to have changed in terms of sentiment at least in the last few days for our market. But has it changed the game fundamentally? According to Nilesh Jasani, CEO, Jefferies Singapore, reforms, by themselves, may not really change much for the Indian market but if animal spirit or risk on causes the distressed companies to get more money then one can expect good times to come.
FDI direct investment by foreigners is less than 6% of total investments made in India. Jasani believes that the even if we get a few billion of dollars from foreign investors because of retail liberalization or aviation liberalization, it will not really change the game. “Our biggest problem is that domestic investments are not happening. Domestic investments, new project announcements are down 70-80% from the peak,” he said.

Govt has bought 6-months of leeway with reforms
C Jayaram of Kotak Mahindra Bank says the market has pretty much factored in a UPA sans Mamata Banerjee-led TMC. "In a sense it may not necessarily be such a bad thing if the TMC.
The UPA, which relies on TMC's 19 seats to form its Parliamentary majority, came under fire last week after it unveiled a series of sweeping economic reforms aimed at boosting growth, including a plan to allow foreign supermarkets to operate in the country.
"To my mind, a period of six months is what you have bought with these reforms and much will depend on what the government is able to do certainly around the time of the next Budget," Jayaram feels on the prospects of a ratings downgrade.
