The key Indian equity indices were trading higher on Tuesday afternoon ahead of the macro-data scheduled later in the day. Investors’ hope for healthy macro-economic numbers, along with positive global cues on the back of easing geo-political tensions, lifted the key Indian equity indices -- the BSE Sensex and the NSE Nifty50 -- on Tuesday. On the NSE, there were 1,009 advances, 688 declines and 75 unchanged. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

State-run power producer NTPC Ltd is expecting to complete the acquisition of the Chhabra Thermal Power Plant from the Rajasthan government in a month or two, an official said on Tuesday. "We are taking over Chhabra power plant and going by regulated depreciated book value subject to approval of Central Electricity Regulatory Commission. The running plant is of 1,000 MW and 1,320 MW capacity is under construction. The cost of the running plant comes to around Rs4,000 crore," company Director (Finance) K Biswal said. 

"The deal is expected to be over in a month or two," he said on the sidelines of the Indian Coal Markets Conference. In January, a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between NTPC, Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd (RVUN) and Rajasthan Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd. (RUVNL) for the transfer.  Under the MoU, four units of 250 MW each of the Chhabra Thermal Power Plant will be transferred to NTPC in the first phase while two units of 660 MW each will be transferred after commissioning. The company’s shares closed at Rs170.35, down 0.32% on the NSE. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

According to a study, if India has to maintain a sustained gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 9%-10% per annum, it is crucial that the manufacturing sector grows steadily at 14%-15% per annum over the next three decades. The joint report by ASSOCHAM-EY stated that while the Goods and Services Tax (GST) has to a large extent addressed prevailing regulatory issues, states across India must individually look into bureaucratic obstacles along with other obstructive regulations and policies on priority, based on their own manufacturing goals. "Manufacturing sector in each Indian state and union territory (UT) has the potential to grow either directly - by setting up new industries - or by creating ancillary facilities, infrastructure and necessary forward-backward linkages to existing ones," the study said. The S&P BSE India Manufacturing Index closed at 442.84, up 1.37% on the BSE. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

Airline major Jet Airways on Monday said that it plans to induct Harsh Mohan in its board as a nominee of its partner Etihad Airways.

Goyal said that three-year "young strategic partnership" with Etihad Airways continues to deliver synergies across all areas, including network growth, revenue enhancement, operational efficiencies and cost improvement.  "The resultant synergies enabled 1 million passengers to connect between India and North America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East over Abu Dhabi. Connections from 15 points in India have been possible as a result of this cooperation," he said. The airline’s shares closed at Rs581.80, up 1.70% on the BSE.

India's annual retail inflation for August shot-up a full 1% to 3.36%, official data showed on Tuesday. According to the data from Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation, the August's consumer price index (CPI) inflation rose to 3.36% from 2.36% in July. Rising inflation could lead to an increase in interest rates through RBI (Reserve Bank of India) decision-making and the market could turn a little bearish on this count.

Tata Steel UK on Monday said it has separated itself and a number of affiliated companied from the British Steel Pension Scheme (BSPS), following the regulator's confirmation on its pensions deal. "Tata Steel UK has received confirmation from the Pensions Regulator that it has approved a Regulated Apportionment Arrangement (RAA) in respect of the British Steel Pension Scheme (BSPS). The BSPS has now been separated from the steel producer and a number of affiliated companies," the company said in a statement.  As part of the RAA, a payment of 550 million pounds from the company has been made to the BSPS and shares in Tata Steel UK, equivalent to a 33% economic equity stake in the company, have been issued to the BSPS Trustee under the terms of a shareholders' agreement, the company said in a statement. The steel producer has also agreed to sponsor a proposed new pension scheme, subject to certain qualifying conditions being met. Now that the RAA has completed, all members of the BSPS will be invited to transfer to the new scheme. The shares of the company in India closed at Rs683.15, up 3.30% on the BSE.
