Abhishek Basumallick, Founder & Chief Equity Advisor, Intelsense Capital, says “right now is a very good time to buy for probably the next two to three years. Right now means from now till the end of the year, maybe before elections next year. So the next seven-eight months or ten months are likely to provide a good opportunity to buy. We need to be keeping our eyes open, always be on the lookout for good companies where there is visibility of earnings growth.”Something is troubling one part of the market quite a lot in the last few days and that is the dollar index crossing 106. In fact, in the last five days, we have seen FII selling getting accelerated. The fear is that it may get even further accelerated from here on. Plus, there is rising bond yields in the US. Is that a legitimate worry or are we flush with domestic liquidity and any volatility, if it arises, will be absorbed?There is some cause of concern or at least we need to take note of what is happening in the US because ultimately a large part of global liquidity is being driven through dollars.

NITI Aayog will soon undertake the evaluation of India’s biggest subsidy schemes, the National Food Security Act and LPG subsidy, to rationalise expenditure, prevent leakage and ensure benefits are reaching the eligible candidates. The Development Monitoring and Evaluation Office, which is an attached office of NITI Aayog, has invited proposals for a central coordinating agency for evaluation of the two schemes, which together cost the exchequer nearly Rs 4,00,000 crore a year. “The government implements one the largest public food and nutritional safety nets in the world through the National Food Security Act (NFSA), enacted in 2013. However, despite the large public expenditure, gains in the food security and nutritional outcomes in India have been slow with the country accounting for roughly 30% of the global burden of hunger,” the DMEO said in the RFP document. Explaining the rationale behind evaluation of the LPG subsidy, the DMEO further said that India is the third largest energy consumer in the world after China and the USA. “The current consumption of LPG in India has risen to 12.3% of total petroleum products compared to 1.13% of kerosene.
