Govt stake sales to please market; no deficit cure

Power firm NHPC Ltd will kick off a $1.25 billion IPO next week in the first share sale by a state company since the Congress party's unexpectedly strong re-election in May spurred investor hopes for pro-market reforms.

Despite opposition from labour groups and leftist parties, the government is forecast by some watchers to offload roughly $5 billion a year in state shares, which could hearten a bond market worried about fiscal responsibility but do little to address a yawning deficit and $90 billion borrowing plan.

Uncertainty over how stake sale proceeds can be used also clouds the outlook for any benefit to government finances.

Indian rupee up for 3rd day

The Indian rupee inched higher on Monday, extending its gains into a third session as a stronger start in Asian shares prompted some dollar selling as traders positioned for foreign buying of local stocks.

At 10:30 a.m. (0500 GMT), the partially convertible rupee INR=IN was at 48.16/17 per dollar, 0.1 percent stronger than Friday's close of 48.22/23. The rupee gained 1.1 percent last week.

"Rupee opened stronger tracking regional cues, but stocks would be the key. We are likely to hold in a 48.10-48.25 range initially, which if broken could take the rupee to 48 and then 47.80," a senior dealer with a private bank said.

"Oil refiners are likely to come in at lower levels to meet month-end demand which will cap the gains," he added.

Rising inflation prompted the central bank to raise interest rates until September, pushing up returns on fixed income investments, including government bonds, which form a bulk of the fund's investments.

The global slump that followed the financial crisis in the second half of the fiscal trimmed India's factory output and exports, forcing firms to slash jobs for cutting losses.

Pillai ruled out the possibility of investing a portion of 2.9-trillion-rupee corpus of the pension fund in equity market in near future. "Equity market, see, they (EPFO) will not go for it because of large.
