I had mentioned in Tuesday’s closing report that Nifty and Sensex, which ended on a flat note were losing steam. Indian shares climbed to a near three-week high as a gauge of lenders snapped its two-day losing streak and automakers extended their rally. The S&P BSE Sensex gained nearly 1% to 26,652 and the NSE Nifty advanced 1% to 8,224. Both the indices have gained for a fourth straight session, with the Nifty closing above the 8,200-mark for the first time since 11 November. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

Meanwhile, the CNX IT index bucked the rising trend, losing 0.1% and in the process extending its losing streak to day three.

 India's fiscal deficit for the April-October period of the current financial year stood at Rs4.23 lakh crore, or 79.3% of the budget estimate, data released by the Controller General of Accounts showed on Wednesday. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

The total budgeted estimate for financial year 2016-17 stands at Rs5.34 lakh crore which translates to 3.5% of the gross domestic product. The deficit was 74% of the target in the same period of the previous financial year. Non-tax receipts generated by the end of October stood at Rs1.6 lakh crore, which is 52% of the budgeted estimate of Rs3.2 lakh crore, data showed.

Total receipts (from revenue and non-debt capital) of the government stood at Rs7.3 lakh crore or 50.4% of the budgeted estimates for the current financial year.

The government has also stuck to front-loading its spending calendar, with the total expenditure at Rs11.5 lakh crore, or 58.2% of the full-year estimate in the first seven months of the current financial year. Non-planned expenditure constituted Rs8.1 lakh crore of the total amount. 

The Indian economy grew at 7.3% in the second quarter of the current fiscal year, lower than the 7.5% forecast by economists. While slightly weaker than expected, the growth trend has so far has been in line with the forecast of achieving 7.6% growth this fiscal. This could change with growth seen weakening in the third and fourth quarters of the year due to the impact of demonetisation. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

The country’s gross domestic product grew 7.3% in the July-September quarter compared to 7.1% in the previous quarter. Gross value added, a second way to judge growth in the economic activity, rose 7.1% during the quarter.
