TATAMOTORS  (NSE Cash)  
Truck maker Beiqi Foton Motor Co plans to be the second major Chinese automotive manufacturer to set up a plant in India.  
Foton, China's top light commercial vehicle maker and a partner of Daimler AG, follows SAIC Motor in a move into the booming Indian auto sector. 
It aims to make 100,000 vehicles annually within four years of starting production, which could be as early as 2011, sources familiar with the situation told Reuters on Wednesday. 
Foton declined to comment. A Daimler spokesman in China acknowledged that the partners would explore international opportunities but that China would remain its top priority. 
It was unclear whether Daimler, which has a truck manufacturing venture with Foton in China, was involved in the India project. 
Foton faces stiff competition in India. Japan's Nissan is scheduled to roll out its trucks in a joint venture with local player Ashok Leyland in 2011. 
Daimler is investing $969 million over the next five years on a truck-making facility in southern India and plans to start production from mid-2012. 
Its rival MAN SE has a joint venture with India's Force Motors while Sweden's Volvo, which has been present in India for more than a decade, has a joint venture with Eicher Motors. 
Late last year General Motors teamed up with China's SAIC in a venture to make mini commercial vehicles in India. 
The truck market in India is dominated by Tata Motors , which has a 65 percent market share. But local players like utility vehicles maker Mahindra & Mahindra are also getting into the segment. 
Technicals: 
Yesterday's fall was not a surprise. Do not worry about this fall & Bears manipulated. 
If ongoing fall continues, then it can tumble up to 656.95 level by non-stop and have caution. Target is too far on down side & Bears will have to work hard too. 
If start rebounds, then expect a jump up to 772.85 level by non-stop. It looks that, risk is too high & Short Sellers need to be cautious too.

  Corporate News Headline
Larsen & Toubro has won a USD 46.76 mn deal to construct Oman's labour ministry building in the capital city of the Gulf Arab state, a tender board official said. (BS)
Steel Authority of India floated the idea of combining the resources of all the industry players to create a "war chest" for "big ticket" buyouts of mines abroad. (BS)

  Economic and Political Headline
India's imports surged by a never-seen-before USD 8 bn in April, indicating the rapid pace of domestic economic activity, even as the government downplayed the 36.2% jump in exports. Imports were up by a huge 43.3% to USD 27.3 bn in the first month of the current fiscal. Exports were up 36.2%, to USD 16.9 bn, in April, but the government said this was more due to low base effect than a healthy demand revival. Year-ago exports numbers was USD 12.4 bn. (BS)
The cost of living in the US unexpectedly dropped in April for the first time in more than a year. The 0.1% fall in the consumer price index was the first decrease since March 2009, figures from the Labor Department showed in Washington. Excluding food and fuel, the so-called core rate was unchanged. (Bloomberg)
A record share of US mortgages were in foreclosure in the first quarter as job losses caused homebuyers to fall behind on monthly payments, thwarting government efforts to stem property seizures. The inventory of homes in foreclosure rose to 4.63% from 4.58% in the fourth quarter, the Mortgage Bankers Association said in a report. (Bloomberg)


INVESTMENT VIEW
South Indian Bank-Experience Next Generation Banking; EPS Rs 20, Div Rs 4
Chairman VJ Joseph-South Indian Bank Addressing Shareholders 
South Indian Bank has again proved its overall stability and strength. We are again equipped with solid balance sheet ratios having pursued a generally prudent and cautious business policy ,once again confirming our enthusiasm to maintain steady and consistent growth. This performance reported by the Bank is encouraging and it demonstrates our continuing commitment to delivering sustainable results .I thank our valued clients and our colleagues most sincerely for their confidence and dedication.

We know that "a Trustee is an individual or corporation named by an individual, who sets aside property to be used for the benefit of another person, to manage the property as provided by the terms of the document that created the arrangement". So Banks as trustees have a sacred duty to manage the funds of the public placed with them .It is this conviction which has been guiding our beloved institution for the past 80 years .May I assure our esteemed clients that we will continue to prove worthy of the confidence reposed in our beloved organization ?

 I am also glad to inform you that last week the Oscar Award Winner Mr. Resool Pookutty has launched our service for NRIs of the "New Pension System" recently started by Govt. of India which is being implemented by Pension Fund Regulatory & Development Authority (PFRDA).

The "New Pension System" is the ideal scheme for the NRIs to promote security of their income in their old age. NPS is open to NRIs who continue to hold Indian passport. The contribution should be in Indian rupee. This scheme will empower a subscriber – NRI or Resident – to plan his/her retirement and pension. It not only will help them save for life after retirement but also is a good investment tool. 

The contributions for the scheme, which is open to anyone from 18 years to 55 years of age, can be made only till the 60 years and pension will start at the age of 60 years. I am also happy to inform you that our Bank is the largest service provider of NPS in India having more branches authorized by PFRDA than any other bank.

Our Bank has launched a novel Savings Bank account exclusively for women called, "SIB: MAHILA'.This packaged savings bank product is linked with recurring deposit with 'house-to-house' travel insurance (including insurance cover against chain snatching, inter alia) for Rs .0.50 lac and accident death insurance cover for Rs. 1.00 lac –the cost of premia for both being borne by the Bank for the first year and a host of ten technological products/services provided free of cost. This has been mainly designed for our NRIs who are concerned about their spouses.

Patrons, you would have noticed that the Reserve Bank of India, in its monetary policy, has decided to set provisioning for non-performing assets (NPA) at 70%. The RBI proposal means that banks will have to set aside a bigger slice of their earnings for a non-performing loan, even if the borrower may not eventually default.

Banks with lower NPA coverage ratios will find it difficult to achieve the target, if it becomes a rule, in the stipulated time of four quarters. Fortunately ,our bank has achieved, as on 30/09/2009 , 66.74 % provisioning coverage for non-performing assets (NPAs) against the new RBI requirement of 70% to be achieved by September 2010 .

Our Bank could contain fresh NPAs and recover Rs.169.15 crore against the Half-yearly Recovery Target of Rs.144.00 Crore, thereby already achieving 75 % of the Annual Recovery Target of Rs.225.00 Crore in September 2009 itself .The Bank could also reduce the Net NPA to 0.43 % as on 30/09/09 from 0.68 % as on 30/06/09.We are confident that we can maintain the hard-earned title of 'Best Bank in Asset Quality' in the private sector-which includes the new generation as well as the traditional Banks- at a time when banks are concerned over the creeping of NPAs into the balance sheets.

 To achieve that objective, we always do remember:"we are only trustees(not owners) of the funds of the public placed with us and also that as trustees we have a sacred duty to manage the funds of the public placed with us". 
(Some forward looking statements on projections, estimates, expectations & outlook are included to enable a better comprehension of the Company prospects. Actual results may, however, differ materially from those stated on account of factors such as changes in government regulations, tax regimes, economic developments within India and the countries within which the Company conducts its business, exchange rate and interest rate movements, impact of competing products and their pricing, product demand and supply constraints.)
