Tata Steel Opens 2nd Aerospace Service Center in China

India-based Tata Steel Ltd (500470.BY) Wednesday said it has opened a second aerospace service center in the Chinese city of Xi'an to serve the growing demand for aerospace materials in the region.

Tata Steel already has an aerospace steel service center in Suzhou, which it opened in 2009. It plans to use the new center to serve a growing aerospace manufacturing base in the region, which already accounts for 40% of the total aerospace manufacturing capacity in China.

"Over 30% of our existing dispatches from Suzhou come to the Xi'an aerospace industry. Getting ourselves established here allows us to grow hand-in-hand with our customers and partners in China," said Zebin Jiang, general manager of both Tata Steel aerospace service centers in China.

The demand for aerospace material is primarily driven by supply chains for the Chinese state-owned aerospace companies COMAC and AVIC, but also includes an increasing number of collaborations and joint ventures between existing Tata Steel customers, such as Safran, Messier-Bugatti-Dowty, Rolls-Royce, Moog, Goodrich and Liebherr, and state-owned companies that feed into these, the company said.

Indian economy is a basket case with high inflation, high deficits, high debt, low growth, current account deficits, currency collapse, etc.
Most African economies have better fundamentals than the Indian economy.

India to likely miss 2012/13 fiscal deficit target: Reuters Poll

Wed Nov 7, 2012

reuters

India will likely miss its revised fiscal deficit target for the financial year ending in March, a Reuters poll showed, putting a question mark over the country's efforts to avert a credit rating downgrade.


Under pressure from global rating agencies and its own central bank, the government unveiled a new plan last week to keep the fiscal deficit at 5.3 percent of gross domestic production (GDP) this financial year, higher than a previous target of 5.1 percent but lower than last year's 5.8 percent.

However, higher spending on fuel and fertilizer subsidies along with lower-than-estimated non-tax receipts are likely to keep the deficit at last year's levels, according to a poll of 21 economists.

That could force New Delhi to borrow an extra 400 billion rupees via bonds as early as December.

"Measures taken are fairly limited, like a reduction in the subsidy in diesel prices is modest ... and actual data until September shows that the revenue performance is very weak," said Andrew Kenningham, an economist at Capital Economics.

"Growth is not expected to pick up significantly this year so there is no reason to be optimistic that they are going to come near the target."

India's fiscal deficit is the widest among major emerging economies due to huge spending on subsidies for items such as food, fuel and fertilizer.

Subdued tax revenues in a slowing economy have aggravated fiscal strains and both Standard and Poor's and Fitch have placed "negative" outlooks on India's current BBB-minus ratings.

With the prospect of downgrade to junk status looming large, the government has announced a slew of reforms since mid-September, raising the price of subsidised fuel and fertilizer, and lifting the bar on foreign investment in the airline, insurance, pensions and retail sectors to shore up the flagging economy.

Although markets cheered those measures, 14 of 17 economists polled think the latest reforms would not avert a downgrade.

"There is a risk of a rating downgrade as the reforms were only a marginal correction in the fiscal situation," said Kenningham.

Despite the recent hikes in prices of fuel and fertilizer, the government's subsidy bill is expected to remain inflated.

According to the poll, spending on fuel and fertilizer subsidies is estimated to be 1.6 trillion rupees this fiscal year, higher than the 1.04 trillion rupees budgeted in March.

Under a new fiscal consolidation plan, New Delhi will focus on economizing existing expenditure and reducing waste.

It is reviewing budgeted expenditure at each ministry and plans to defer some spending to the next financial year beginning in April, which government officials say could save about 300-400 billion rupees.

But analysts doubt that will be enough to keep the deficit at 5.3 percent.

"Changes will need to have a longer-term beneficial impact on the fiscal situation, " Kenningham said, noting the government did not make any meaningful announcement last week.

To offset sluggish tax revenues, Finance Minister P. Chidambaram is banking heavily on proceeds from share sales in state-run companies and an auction of telecommunications spectrum.

He aims to raise 700 billion rupees through such sales and through the auction of cellphone airwaves. The poll showed economists expected only two-thirds of that amount, 480 billion rupees, to be raised.

Not only is a burgeoning fiscal deficit undermining the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) efforts to control demand-driven price pressures, its funding requirements from domestic savings is crowding out private investment and lowering growth prospects.

In March, the government penciled in gross market borrowing of 5.7 trillion rupees for the 2012/13 fiscal year to help bridge a deficit earlier forecast at 5.1 percent.

However, Chidambaram last week said a revision in the fiscal deficit target would result in additional market borrowing up to the new level, which will amount to at least 200 billion rupees.

Last year, the government borrowed 929 billion rupees (22 percent) more than the budgeted amount to fund a deficit that overshot the original target by 1.2 percentage points.
 
Zambia: India's Major Source of Credible Investments

The Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) from India to Zambia are now more than US$3 billion following the increase in the influx of Indian investors into this southern African country.

According to IBCZ, the increase in FDIs has been necessitated by Zambia's sound economic policies which have provided an attractive business environment.

Zambia's exports to India increased from $51.4 million in 2009 to $102.67 million in 2010 while India's exports to Zambia stood at $131.6 million in 2009 and $88.34 in 2010.

By February 2012, India-related investments had helped to create about 13,000 job opportunities in various sectors in Zambia.

By any standard, therefore, India today is one of the emerging economic titans in the world and developing countries, like Zambia, have a lot to benefit by promoting investments with that origin.

Already, India has registered investment presence in the banking, telecommunication, power generation, manufacturing, transport and other key sectors of the Zambian economy.
