India's benchmark stock index rose, snapping a two-day 3.3 percent decline, as Asia's third-largest economy grew at the fastest pace in 1 1/2 years last quarter, beating economists' estimates.
Infosys Technologies Ltd., India's second-biggest software exporter, rose 2.2 percent. Bharti Airtel Ltd., the nation's largest mobile phone service provider, climbed 5.6 percent. Stocks also rebounded as concerns of losses from Dubai World's possible default eased.
"GDP numbers could continue to surprise positively," said Kenneth Andrade, head of investments at IDFC Asset Management Co., who manages assets worth $5.5 billion in Mumbai. "Investors over-reacted to the problems in Dubai, which are quite localized."
The Bombay Stock Exchange's Sensitive Index, or Sensex, gained 294.21, or 1.8 percent, to 16,926.22, the most since Nov. 11. The S&P CNX Nifty Index on the National Stock Exchange rose 1.8 percent to 5,032.70. The BSE 200 Index added 1.8 percent to 2,105.51.
The United Arab Emirates pledged support for its banks, easing concerns that losses from Dubai World will spread. Central Bank of the U.A.E. said lenders will be able to borrow money for half a percentage point above the three-month local benchmark interest rate.
India's economy expanded by 7.9 percent last quarter from a year earlier, exceeding all estimates in a Bloomberg News survey of 22 economists, where the median forecast was for a 6.3 percent gain.
'Positive Surprise'
"It's definitely a positive surprise," said Navneet Munot, who oversees about $8.2 billion of assets as chief investment officer at SBI Asset Management Co. in Mumbai. "India's growth rate is more significant in comparison with the rest of the world and investors are able to see this differentiation."
Infosys added 2.2 percent to 2,379.35 rupees. Bharti advanced 5.6 percent to 299.55 rupees. Larsen & Toubro Ltd. gained 1.6 percent to 1,614.60 rupees. Larsen has formed a venture with Nuclear Power Corp. of India Ltd. to build a forging plant at Hazira, the companies said in a joint statement today.
Tata Motors Ltd., the Indian truckmaker that owns Jaguar Land Rover, gained 5.4 percent to 663.15 rupees, its biggest gain in almost two months, after it turned to a profit in the second-quarter and Citigroup Inc. raised the stock's rating to "buy" from "hold," citing the earnings outlook.
Wockhardt Gains
Indiabulls Real Estate Ltd. rose 2.5 percent to 206.60 rupees after it was upgraded to "buy" from "sell" at Citigroup Inc., which said concerns on leasing delays and the company's "low execution visibility" are factored into the stock's valuation.
Wockhardt Ltd. [], an Indian drugmaker, rose 2.5 percent to 175.75 rupees. Wockhardt and DBS Bank Ltd. reached an out-of- court settlement over repayment of a 440 million rupee ($9.5 million) loan, Mint newspaper reported, citing a person familiar with the development. N. S. Rajan, a Wockhardt spokesman, declined to comment on the report when contacted by telephone today.
Shriram EPC Ltd., an Indian engineering company, rose 3.4 percent to 229 rupees after signing an agreement to develop power projects with the North West Electric Power Design Institute of China.

* Market cheers better-than-expected Sept qtr GDP
* Worries of debt default in Dubai ease
* Sensex gains 6.5 pct in Nov vs 7.2 pct fall in Oct
Indian shares rebounded 1.8 percent on Monday as investors gave a thumbs up to better-than-expected September quarter GDP data and on a rise in Asia markets as concerns over Dubai's credit woes eased. The gain helped the 30-share main index .BSESN end November up 6.5 percent, erasing most of a 7.2 percent fall in October, which was its weakest monthly performance in 2009.
Banks climbed as most were not likely to see a material impact from Dubai's debt woes, and as higher than expected GDP data affirmed a better economic outlook, dealers said. Top private lender ICICI Bank (ICBK.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) climbed 1.5 percent while smaller rival HDFC Bank firmed 0.5 percent. "The GDP data positively surprised the market. Also, the realisation that we will not be really hurt by Dubai crisis helped," said Rajen Shah, chief investment officer at Angel Broking. Asia's third-largest economy grew by 7.9 percent in the quarter through September INGDPQ=ECI from a year earlier,data showed, shattering forecasts as stimulus measures boosted demand and manufacturing activity surged.
The 30-share Sensex closed 1.8 percent or 294.21 points higher at 16,926.22, with 26 of its components advancing. It rose as much as 2.4 percent in the day. World equities generally steadied on Monday as the United Arab Emirates shored up its banks after last week's shock. "Though market is more than fairly priced, liquidity flow will continue to help the market," said Shah. The main index has rallied more than 75 percent in 2009, fuelled by foreign fund inflow which exceeded $15 billion.
IT bellwether Infosys Technologies (INFY.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) rose 2.4 percent, after falling 4.3 percent over the past two sessions, and larger rival Tata Consultancy (TCS.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) climbed 2.3 percent, after declining 4.5 percent over Thursday and Friday. "IT stocks had fallen a lot last last week. Since the sector outlook is positive, it led to some bottom-fishing in counters like Infosys and TCS," said K. K. Mital, head of portfolio management services at Globe Capital Dealers said there was also fund buying in the telecoms sector, where shares have fallen sharply in recent months as a pricing war has erupted. Top mobile operator Bharti Airtel (BRTI.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) rose 5.7 percent, second-ranked Reliance Communications (RLCM.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) rose 3 percent and Idea Cellular rose 4.1 percent respectively.
Top vehicles maker Tata Motors (TAMO.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) raced 5 percent as higher GDP data pointed consumer spending would pick up, and after the company reported a return to operating profit for its British Jaguar Land Rover unit. "In view of the sequential increase in JLR's volumes and improvement in the company's core domestic business, we reiterate our rating of moderate outperform on Tata Motors," First Global said in a note.
Metals stocks were shining on a good outlook for prices and expectations of strong demand from China, said Ajay Parmar, head of institutional equities at Emkay Global. Steel maker Tata Steel (TISC.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) rose 5.6 percent, copper producer Sterlite Industries (STRL.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) rose 3.4 percent and aluminium producer Hindalco (HALC.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) was up 4.1 percent. In the broader market, gainers led losers in a ratio of 2.8:1 in a relatively lower volume of 334 million shares. The 50-share NSE index .NSEI closed 1.8 percent higher at 5,032.70.
STOCKS THAT MOVED * Larsen & Toubro (LART.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) climbed 1.7 percent to 1,614.15 rupees on better GDP data and after it and state-owned Nuclear Power Corp announced a 17.25 billion rupee joint venture to make forgings. * Vehicles maker Eicher Motors (EICH.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) rose 4.4 percent to 568.85 rupees. A senior official said it hopes to sell up to 50,000 Royal Enfield motorcycles during the year to December, up from 43,000 last year.
MAIN TOP 3 BY VOLUME * Suzlon Energy (SUZL.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) on 22.7 million shares * IFCI (IFCI.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) on 16.2 million shares * Unitech (UNTE.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) on 11.5 million shares.

ASIA:

Asian shares were mixed Tuesday as a strong yen continued to hurt export stocks in Japan, while Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group was lower after announcing fund raising plans.
Japan's Nikkei 225 was down 0.7%, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 was up 0.2%, New Zealand's NZX-50 gained 0.6% and South Korea's Kospi Composite was up 0.5%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were up three points in screen trade.
On Monday, Asian stocks had already rebounded from Friday's sharp losses triggered by the Dubai World debt news, so Wall street's tepid rise overnight failed to spark much fresh buying.
"The market had been without any significant news for some time and it was ready to pounce on anything. The Dubai debt issue provided the perfect means to express the market's restlessness," said David Taylor at CMC Markets.
Analysts said the markets were now looking for fresh catalysts after recovering from the Dubai shock, and expect some caution as holiday spending figures in the U.S. looked limp.
"Black Friday weekend sales won't likely provide any fresh momentum...as average spending fell from a year ago, indicating U.S. consumers are still reluctant to open their wallets," said Jung Seung-jae at Mirae Asset Securities.
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group was down 1.0% in heavy volume after Monday saying it will raise up to Y1.056 trillion ($12.24 billion) by issuing new shares, including an over-allotment option, in what would be the biggest-ever share sale by a Japanese financial institution.
Japan's largest bank by assets and market capitalization had already announced a plan to raise up to Y1 trillion by issuing common shares earlier last month.
Other financials in Tokyo were lower with Mizuho Financial down 2.5% and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial down 1.8%. Shipping stocks were sharply lower after the Baltic Dry Index fell 2.2% Monday. Mitsui O.S.K. Lines was down 2.5% and Nippon Yusen was off 5.2% at a fresh 2009 intraday low. The Topix marine transport subindex was 3.5% lower, the worst performer on the board.
Exporters were also hurt by the strong yen, with Sony down 1.5%, Canon down 1.5% and Toyota Motor off 1.5%. As Monday's rally on short-covering has run its course, stronger yen concerns are once again weighing on sentiment, said Meiwa Securities senior market analyst Masayoshi Yano. "The market doubts that the government will provide sufficient, effective measures to tackle yen strengthening and deflation," he said.
In Sydney, banks and resource stocks were lower as investors took profits after solid gains on Monday.

IFCI-Value Buy
We have reviewed annual report of IFCI. With acceleration in recovery rate, the institution has returned to dividend list after ten years. We retain 'BUY' on IFCI and upgrade our one year target price to Rs 78/- per share.
Recovery process to accelerate
With a rebound in economic activity, we expect NPA recoveries to accelerate. We have revised our estimate on chances of recovery to 40%, from earlier 30% of provided NPA. Gross NPAs have scaled down 5% to Rs 5,152 cr from year ago. Net NPAs as of March 09 were Rs 463 cr. However, excluding one power project which is likely to be upgraded, net NPAs stand just at Rs 77 cr.
Adequately Capitalized
IFCI has a very comfortable capital adequacy ratio of 19.7%. It can easily grow at an accelerated rate without raising fresh capital. It continues its plan to rope in a strategic partner which will not only bring in capital to strengthen the balance sheet, but also bring in the required expertise to expand its reach in the financial services gamut.
Fresh sanctions in full swing
Total approvals increased to Rs 40 bn as against Rs 25 bn in previous year, similarly total disbursement has improved to Rs 33 bn as against Rs 23 bn last year.
Dividend declared after 10 years
After a gap of ten years, IFCI has declared dividend of 8% for FY09. It has declared dividend after fulfilling the necessary precondition of making profit for last three years.

GAIL-Building A Leviathan!
Target Rs 501
Management expects increase of current ~150 mmscmd transmission capacity to ~300 mmscmd by FY13 through capex of INR 300 bn.
Gas supplies from KGD6 (post the fresh allocation of 20+30 mmscmd) as well as ramp up of LNG terminals (Dabhol, Dahej, and Kochi) are expected to buoy FY14 volumes to ~200 mmscmd (CAGR of 20%), implying capacity utilisation of ~66-75%. GAIL expects a 5-10% upward revision in HVJ tariffs against our assumption of 15% decline.
Incorporating petrochemical expansion into earnings
The Pata petrochemical plant is in the midst of expansion from 410 KT to 500KT and the INR 1.25 bn project is expected to be completed by September 2010.
Further, expansion of 800 KT at a cost of INR 50 bn is anticipated to be complete by 2013. Incorporating this increase in production volumes in earnings assumptions
leads to a 50-60% increase in petrochemical EBITDA by FY13.
Revising up FY11-12E earnings 4-8%; the SOTP works out to INR 501/share
Consequent to increased volume assumptions for gas transmission and petrochemicals, the stabilised FY14-15 EPS estimate of INR 38/share implies a CAGR of ~13% in earnings over the next four years. The forecast is conservative as little value has been ascribed to GAIL investments-no earnings from the CGD or E&P businesses; hence, future upsides are likely. Non-core businesses/investments contribute only INR 147/share to the SOTP.
Outlook and valuations: Strong gas transmission growth
GAIL's plan of raising INR 280 bn over next four years (debt and possibly equity as well) gives us confidence in growth expectations spanning transmission, petrochemicals, and CGD businesses. At CMP of INR 419.25/share, GAIL is trading at 14.0x our FY11E earnings, 2.2x our FY11E book, and 10.0x FY11E EV/EBITDA.
BUY
