Hemang Jani, Independent Market Expert, says “InterGlobe is in a position that HDFC Bank probably was in maybe 8-10 years back where people questioned the valuations but the company kept on delivering and it became one of the best wealth creation stories. Of course, what happened in the last two years is a different story, but given the positioning that InterGlobe has and the way they have managed the volatility in the crude oil price, the way they have managed to grab the international routes and the market share trend, there is a long way to go.”

BALTIMORE—The crew of workers from Mexico and Central America were well into their graveyard shift, pouring concrete to fix the potholes that dotted the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The job could be dangerous in the daytime, let alone at night. The bridge, suspended up to 185 feet above the Patapsco River, would sway with passing tractor-trailers.

Deepak Shenoy, Founder, Capital Mind, says “most of the government contracts will start flowing in only after the budget in July this year. Things may halt for PSUs before that. So, keeping that in mind, we are still very positive on the overall India story, not so much on the export story, not so much on the FMCG story.” What are you betting on now? Where are you seeing that you could find some value? Deepak Shenoy: Honestly, we have had a bit of an interesting year. January was very good for the small and midcaps, and okay for the largecaps. The largecaps have kind of made it up in the last couple of months while small and midcaps have retreated. But in general, we are seeing this quarter itself as more or less a flattish kind of quarter overall. But the results which will start coming in April should show, at least certain sectors start to show a lot more interest in both the commentary and the numbers.

volatility in equities likely to be high, money managers believe investors should stagger their investments into equity mutual fund schemes. Fund houses offer various options for staggered investments such as a daily, weekly or monthly systematic transfer plan (STP) from a debt-oriented scheme like a liquid fund or ultra-shortterm fund to the chosen equity fund. WHEN SHOULD AN INVESTOR OPT FOR A SYSTEMATIC TRANSFER PLAN (STP)? Investors who believe that the long-term earnings growth story is intact, but fear high volatility in the markets due to events such as elections or valuations being slightly ahead of fundamentals can use STPs. Typically such investors have lump sum money and want to invest in equity mutual funds, but in a staggered manner, and simultaneously earn a small return by investing in liquid/ultra short-term schemes. HOW DOES IT WORK? An investor looking to invest say Rs 1 lakh into an equity fund using STP will have to first choose the liquid or ultra-short-term fund and make an investment there. Once that is done, choose an equity scheme and decide on the amount to be transferred along with the frequency of transfer and set up the STP. Both the source and the destination schemes should be from the same fund house. Most fund houses have a daily, weekly or monthly option to transfer money. For example, an investor can decide to transfer Rs 2,500 every week to an equity fund or even something like Rs 10,000 every month. Mutual fund investment portals too allow you to set these up entirely online.

India’s policy focus on making the country a hub for EV-making will have a side effect. As electric vehicles (EVs) roll off assembly lines, our dependence on Chinese imports will rise, even though we’ve been trying to reduce it. That’s because China, with a head-start of a decade or so, is the global leader of clean-tech in general and this segment of the auto industry in particular.

In 2022, I wrote a column asking why Canada couldn’t be as smart and successful as Australia. Two years later, by almost any metric, Australia continues to outperform us economically, while maintaining its social democracy and generous welfare programs.

Canada must tackle weak productivity to inoculate the economy against factors that will drive future inflation, such as the pullback from globalization, said Carolyn Rogers, senior deputy governor of the Bank of Canada.

Musk surely knows how to control the narrative and the noise. His relentless honking at Raisina Hill’s policy making precinct for the last 4 long years did electrify the imagination of the government bureaucracy. That is why the auto industry executives in private see Narendra Modi government’s recently announced new electric vehicle policy, the last business before the announcement before the 2024 elections, predominantly as a red carpet rollout for just one eccentric billionaire: Musk. Even then to straight jacket the initiative as ‘The Tesla policy’ is a cynical response: The timebound and ceiling based 55-85% import duty cut on electric cars above a certain value, linked to specific localisation and investment milestones to boost domestic manufacturing would benefit incumbents Tata Motors, Hyundai, VW Group as much as it would Musk or accelerate the plans of Phat Nhat Vuong, founder of Vietnamese OEM VinFast, that has been looking to set up base in Tamil Nadu. Predictably therefore, the initial outrage of local players has evaporated post the announcement!
