Iran nuclear deal

The Iran nuclear deal has significant implications for India,

1) India imports nearly 80 per cent of its energy requirements, so falling oil prices will benefit oil marketing companies such as HPCL, Indian Oil and BPCL. 

2) Falling oil prices are negative for upstream (exploration) companies, which weighed on shares in Cairn India and ONGC.

3) The Iran deal is likely to be "neutral" for Reliance Industries, which operates the world's largest refinery in Jamnagar.

4) Aban Offshore - India's largest offshore drilling services provider - gets 35 per cent of its revenues from Iran. Shares in the company closed 16.2 per cent higher. Easing of sanctions in Iran will help Aban's working capital situation, analysts say.

5) The oil ministry fears that Iran could award the right to develop its giant Farzad B gas field to Europeans who can deploy the latest technology and commit billions of dollars to modernising the country's oil-and-gas infrastructure. ONGC is currently in contention to get development rights of Farzad B field.

6) Indian refiners are unlikely to get cheaper oil from Iran as Tehran will be able to do business with any country when sanctions are lifted. Indian refiners will also have to settle past dues of $6.5 billion (over Rs 40,000 crore) in hard currency that they have not been able to pay due to the sanctions.

7) The lifting of sanctions in Iran is likely to benefit domestic pharmaceutical, IT and commodity firms, according to trade ministry officials. These companies will now be able to compete for contracts in Iran.

8) Iran is a big buyer of basmati rice, soymeal, sugar, barley and meat. Under sanctions, Iran paid a premium of up to 20 per cent over global prices to buy from India, analysts say. Food companies such as McLeod Russel (tea) and Kohinoor Foods (rice) that have business in Iran gained.

Give reasons to smile :-)

Everyone in his life has a wrap of worries and concerns, Someone is worried for his career, someone has a family related issue, lot many are strucked in business, few are just too busy with the tension of studies, a lot many are busy with the tensions in friendship and amongst the friends... In my opinion, giving others a reason to worry is an easy task, it takes just fw minutes to hurt anyone, slap him, hit him, say him something undesired, it'll solve the purpose... but for spreading smiles something extra needs to be done.. it is difficult to manage tears than to bring them from someone's eyes. its too difficult to make others laugh from the heart... Looking at few of my peers ( not my close ones frm instt) , i find ppl changin for their parents, why do we tend to forget them ? when we grow? , why our friends become more important in a way tht they take a pie from the share of our moms and dads.. how many times do we think before saying a lie to our moms and dads.

CRYSYS... The US Meltdown...

Pick out any news paper of today, i guess we have around 65000 newspapers that are registered.... The headline for today is Financial CRISIS... Our country is being affected by the global crisis, that have started from US's sub prime loan issues...  Well , its no surprise , if u look at the following few points.. you'll get an idea on the reasons: Most of our exports in the US, if they go down,we need to bear We have ample of foreign reserves in dollars, any change in their economy has a direct impact on ours. Many of our financial institutions have a connection with the investment bankers of US and  Europe, The prob of foreign exposure can be seen. Our Indian Stock market is very sensitive to information and sentiments, we are just followin the trend. The US is slowing down significantly and the US investors are at risk. That is something, which is a serious problem. If you look at market behavior, over the last 10-15 years, whenever the Fed cut rates, it has normally been goo...

PART 4 Related Parts:  PART 10   PART 9  PART 8  PART 7  PART 6   PART 5   PART 4   PART 3   PART 2   PART 1 With the post-graduation stepping into my life, the fear of being grown up kept rolling my mind. The exams and pattern of studies, although, had no fundamental change, but the pressure of higher studies had a superior space. Not that studies changed, neither were we getting scanned in the rule of autocratic professors, my mind had an urgency, an urge to just get into earning mode. The thought was to get whopping first salary of 2.26 lacs pm and do away with education loan :-) (Obviously Reliance Adag's campaign induced me to think bigger and better).
