India may need up to 28 GW in new coal-fired plants - advisory body
India may need up to 28 gigawatts of new coal-fired power plants by 2032 to meet power demand that is expected to more than double from the current 404.1 GW, a government advisory body said, signalling more increases in coal use by the world's third-largest greenhouse gas emitter.
"It is seen that apart from under-construction coal-based capacity of 25 GW, the additional coal-based capacity required till 2031-32 may vary from 17 GW to around 28 GW," the Central Electricity Authority, an advisory body to the federal power ministry, said in a draft plan released last week.

Raghuram Rajan finds loopholes in Centre's PLI scheme by using iPhone's example
Citing an example of cell phone industry, he said, "First, custom duties on mobile imports were increased to 20% in April 2018. This immediately increases domestic prices of mobiles, allowing producers to charge Indian customers more. For example, an iPhone 13 pro max is available for under ₹92,500 in Chicago, US, inclusive of taxes while the same model with identical specs costs ₹1,29,000 in India, a markup of nearly 40%".
However, the Production Linked Incentives scheme offers manufacturers a government payment of 6% in the first year for every cell phone they produce in India, down to 4% in the fifth year, provided they meet investment and sales targets, he underlined.
Rajan highlighted that the government will give a 6% subsidy to the manufacturers even if they import all parts from abroad and assemble them in India. "They (manufacturers) get the 6% subsidy on the invoice price," he added, "Even if they go up to the typical 17-25% value added of cell phone manufacturers in India, they get a handsome subsidy of 24% -35%. In addition, states further add to this bounty through state waivers (about 9% of the price), power, land, and capital expenditure subsidies". (Full Report)

Axis Securities Pick of the Week - Nippon Life Asset Management Co - BUY with TP at ₹326
Axis Securities - Outlook & Valuation: With NAM’s rising market share and retail segment, we believe the growth will continue as the macroeconomic conditions improve. With the Covid-19 pandemic behind us and the economy reviving to its pre-Covid levels, NAM can now penetrate deeper with its strong distribution network. While rising inflation and interest rate scenarios, volatile markets, and geopolitical pressures are some key challenges for NAM, the long-term prospects of the Indian AMC industry remain intact. This is on account of the industry’s low penetration levels in India vis-à-vis developed countries as well as its play on the financialisation of savings in India. We believe NAM will continue its growth trajectory in the near term by leveraging its robust risk management practices.
Recommendation: We recommend a BUY rating on the stock with a target price of ₹326/share, implying an upside of 10% from the CMP.

Gas crisis in Europe to create fresh round of inflationary pressures: SBI Research
The current round of gas crisis in Europe is expected to create a fresh round of inflationary pressures in food and transport prices, said SBI Research in its latest report, adding that the prices of fertilizers and its raw material would remain elevated during the financial year 2022-23.
The galloping gas prices in Europe have made the world pause and catch a breath in mid-August, amidst a war seemingly entering a deceptively 'deadlocked zone' as benchmark gas prices spiked five times their prices at the start of the year (and, almost 14 times their 10 years average prices) with gas supply through Nord Stream1 drying up fast, the report said while describing the overall energy situation.
At the same time, Russian exports to the EU are now down roughly 60 per cent compared to June 2021 and further downward escalation is a reality. Notably, 90 per cent of the gas consumed in the region is imported.
The Eurozone and the UK are currently battling runaway inflation, the SBI Research report said adding that the worst was yet to come. (ANI)

Thus one can use dips towards 17,775-17,735 for creating long position for the target of 18,300 in near term.

Angel One weekly analysis as on 09-09-2022: 18000 once again in sight now
Sameet Chavan, Chief Analyst-Technical and Derivatives, Angel One Ltd: On Monday, despite SGX Nifty indicating a sluggish start, we started the session on a positive note and then continued its northward movement in the initial hour. After surpassing the 17650 mark, the index slipped into a consolidation mode. During the remaining part of the session, we witnessed a slender range with the undertone being strongly bullish. Around mid-week, markets had slightly turbulent moves, but we managed to weather them successfully. In the last couple of sessions, oversold US markets gave a sharp rebound which provided the much-needed trigger for the Nifty to come out of the recent congestion phase. With some hint of profit booking on Friday, the Nifty concluded the week convincingly above 17800 by adding 1.68% to the previous weekly close.
In the last couple of weeks, our domestic markets maintained their sturdy structure, whereas the US bourses were continuing with their declining trend. This development was restricting our key indices to surpass the higher boundary of the consolidation range despite having an inherent strength. The moment global recovery took place, we witnessed a breakout from the sturdy wall of 17700 – 17800. Importantly, the banking space was the major charioteer of this move as we saw the banking index clocking gains over 2.50% and has closed at 10-months highest level. Whenever financial counters contribute to the rally, it needs to be construed as a healthy rally. Moreover, the most laggard heavyweight basket, IT showed some encouraging signs towards the fag end of the week. This provided credence to the move and adds conviction to retest the recent psychological level of 18000 in the coming week itself. If global peers support it, we will not be surprised to see it extending towards 18200 – 18350 levels. Let’s see how things pan out going ahead.
We advise traders to continue with their recent ‘Buy on declines’ strategy and use decline towards the support zone of 17675 – 17500 to add fresh longs. Also, the broader end of the spectrum is clearly on a roll and hence, one should keep focusing on potential movers from the cash segment, which are likely to fetch higher returns.
