The
key Indian equity indices were trading higher on Tuesday afternoon ahead of the

declines and 75 unchanged. The Total

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

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

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 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

company in India closed at Rs683.15, up 3.30% on the BSE.
