Economy News
4 India and Japan have set a target of achieving $25 billion worth of
bilateral trade by 2014 from the present $10.3 billion even as both
countries have signed the much-awaited Comprehensive Economic
Partnership Agreement (Cepa) that will see about 94% tariff reduction in
goods. On a trade value basis, while Japan has agreed to 97% tariff
reduction in trade in goods, India has consented for 90% duty abolition.
As a result of this deal companies from both countries such as Mitsubishi
Religare Enterprises Ltd, Heavy Industries, Toshiba, Dai-Ichi, JSW, Hitachi,
L&T, NTPC, Panasonic, Sony and Marubeni India Pvt would stand to gain.

Corporate News
4 Future Ventures is looking at tapping the primary market with a Rs.
7.5bn IPO next month, according to two persons with direct knowledge of
the matter. Future Ventures, the venture capital arm of Future Group,
had first applied with the SEBI for an IPO in 2008, but did not proceed
with it due to adverse market conditions. At that time, the company
aimed to raise Rs 37.3bn from the IPO. (BS)
4 Dish TV has launched 30 new channels in high definition (HD) format on
its platform, besides making it more affordable to consumers by lowering
the price for new connections. Dish TV believes that its latest move would
be a game-changer for the Indian broadcasting sector by taking digital
entertainment to the next level. (BL)
4 ONGC has even cited Clause 3.1.9 in the accounting procedure of the PSC
to argue that both Cairn and the government must share the stateowned
oil firm’s royalty payouts. But part sharing the royalty burden
would impact valuations, as it would lead to a $ 1.8-billion revenue hit for
Cairn. It would also mean a similar $2.6-billion hit in the government’s
share of profit. This issue may actually prove a deal breaker between
Cairn and Vedanta. (BS)
4 Ahead of a meeting of the group of ministers (GoM) tomorrow, on the
‘no-go’ issue related to coal projects, 16 coal projects, that have been
stuck for a year now, are set to get the environment ministry’s go-ahead.
Environment ministry has agreed to relax the comprehensive
environment pollution index (CEPI) moratorium allowing 16 projects of
Coal India in seven coalfields to take off. (BS)
4 Koutons Retail India Ltd on Wednesday said it has appointed SBI
Capital Markets to draft a debt recast scheme as it was unable to repay
short-term debt. The New Delhi-based retailer, valued at Rs 866 million,
has lost about 91% in market capitalisation in the past six months as
concerns mounted about the company's dipping sales and fears of
default. (ET)
4 The government has decided to infuse Rs 12.48bn into two public sector
banks — UCO Bank and United Bank of India — as part of
recapitalisation package to shore up equity capital. The government had
