JSW Steel expansion plan to fuel growth The stock of JSW Steel, India`s third largest steel producer, has underperformed the Sensex over the past six months. Its September 2010 quarter results, which were in line with analysts’ expectations, have not been able to give fresh trigger to its stock. The company’s expanded capacity is expected to come on stream in the next few quarters. The company has also reduced its debt significantly in the September quarter. These factors would benefit the company in the near term. Higher raw material and employee costs were the dampener for the company in the September quarter.

Wipro gets ready for regig to fend off TCS, Infosys, Cognizant Wipro officials, proud of their company`s heritage and success, have perhaps never experienced something like this. A feeling of restlessness and a sense of dissatisfaction. Revenue growth, compared with peers, has been anemic; at times Wipro comes out second best in head-to-head matchups when it comes to winning and keeping some clients. In danger of conceding the position of third-biggest software exporter to Cognizant, Wipro is now trying hard to reinvigorate itself. For Rishad Premji, 33, and Wipro`s new chief strategy officer, the latest assignment poses challenges far beyond that of ensuring that the company regains growth by breaking into large customers. The task now is to fend off rivals such as Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys and Cognizant from taking a lion`s share of common clients.
NTPC to invite bids for generation parts ahead of fuel tie-ups: State-run power generator NTPC proposes to invite tenders for power generation equipment for all its upcoming gas-based projects that will have a capacity of 10,000 mw, without waiting for assured supply of fuel, to put pressure on the government to allocate natural gas for its stranded plants. The department of public enterprise (DPE) forbids state firms, such as NTPC, from ordering equipment and starting construction before securing fuel for the projects. This has put the power major at a disadvantage via-a-vis private sector firms that place orders and start work on plants even before securing any gas linkage. NTPC would place orders as soon as the government allocates gas.
