Business, Market News, Markets - July 12, 2022

Indigo to "rationalise" salaries of technicians following mass sick leave.

Indigo to “rationalise” salaries of technicians following mass sick leave.

 

On 2nd July 2022, a large number of its cabin crew members took sick leave, to participate in the competitor’s Air India recruitment drive. As a result, 55% of Indigo’s domestic flights were delayed.

Indigo has decided to “rationalise” the salaries of its aircraft technicians and remove “anomalies caused by the pandemic”

On Friday, 22 out of 25 of the airline’s aircraft maintenance technicians went on sick leave in Hyderabad and Delhi. They skipped work to protest against their salaries and low increments. Continuous salary cuts during the pandemic added fuel to the employee’s already simmering anger. In April, Indigo suspended some of its employees due to the pandemic. This led to the mass sick leave of the employees indicating a protest. The DGCA ordered Indigo to compensate passengers for delayed flights.

Indigo expects higher attrition levels among its crew, as Air India is hiring aggressively and Akasa Air and Jet Airways are starting their operations this year. This has created a lot of opportunities in the aviation industry.

Indigo had cut down the salaries of its employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. Last week, the has increased the salaries of pilots and cabin crew by 8%. On the other hand, Air India has restored the salaries of its employees by 75 %.

On Monday, an email was sent to the aircraft maintenance technicians by SC Gupta the Vice President (Engineering) of Indigo. The email sent by him was accessed by PTI. He stated that, the Covid-19 pandemic severely affected the aviation industry over the past 30 months. He also mentioned that the technician’s commitment towards the company has remained consistent through difficult times. He further said that he is apprised of the concerns about salary increase and during the last two years the company have not been able to revise the compensation. He has shared that the company will “rationalise” the salaries of its aircraft technicians. This will come into effect from August 1, 2022.

 

Currently, the share price of Interglobe Aviation Ltd is Rs. 1701.35. The price increased by 6.70 points or by 0.40%. The opening price was Rs.1696.65 and closing Rs. 1694.65. The market cap of the company is Rs. 65,545.

Fiscal Discipline in Focus: Government Plans Deficit Reduction by FY26
Business, Markets - July 12, 2022

NBFCs and HFCs securitization volumes almost doubled.

NBFCs and HFCs securitization volumes almost doubled to Rs. 33,000Cr. in April- June

The securitization volume originated by Non-Banking Financial Companies and Housing Finance Companies has doubled in Q1FY23 to Rs.33000Cr. as per a report, released on Monday. Securitization is the conversion of loans into marketable securities for fulfilling cash requirements to third parties many times described as collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs).

The growth in volume is witnessed to be double 1.9 times in Q1FY23 compared to RS 17,200Cr. in FY22. During Q1FY21, volumes were significantly affected by pandemic and nationwide lockdown and dropped to Rs. 7,500 Cr. in March 2020. The volumes are forecasted to cross a mark of Rs. 1.5 Lakh Cr. in FY23 if there are no further Covid-19 disruptions in the country. The growth in demand for credit has been picked up which was partly met by loan securitization. Since securitization is one of the key tools for NBFCs and HFCs it will help them to diversify their portfolio and enhance their customer base.

The predominant use of securitization is to transfer the credit risk from one investor to a wide range of investors who can tolerate that risk and thus resulting in financial stability and providing an additional source of funding. Fund repayment has been stable over the past few months with the agency’s rate at 97% in April 2022. The total of Rs. 1,5 lakh crore volume in securitization is expected in FY23 compared to Rs. 1.3Lakh Cr. in FY22. It is done in 2 ways either by Direct Assignment (DA) or by Pass-through Certificate(PTC). In the past, DA has contributed around 60% share and 40% to PTCs. In FY23, DA and PTCs are in line with the past trend.

Securitization has dominated, with approximately 46% volumes followed by vehicle loans with around 26% and microfinance at 11%. Securitization of assets has increased sharply from 46% in Q1FY22 to 70% in Q1FY23. The ease in lockdowns and improvement in efficiency in the collection has majorly given the ease to investors to participate in securitization. Another reason for an increase in volumes is because the microfinance sector has been almost absent from this market and was able to restrict the decline and enhance investor interest in the securitization market.

Adani group to enter into 5G spectrum

Adani group to enter into 5G spectrum:

 Gautam Adani, a led conglomerate to engage in a bidding clash with Reliance & Airtel for 5G spectrum. Adani Group’s entry into the 5G spectrum will result in intensified competition for revenue. Analysts believe Adani Group to engage in a battle for 5G airwaves auction. The auction will be on July 26, in both the coveted but expensive 3.3-3.67 GHz and the cheaper 26 GHz bands. Adani Group as the fourth bidder will increase sell off the spectrum. This will lead to more sales of the spectrum, which is good for the government. The price will rise 10% over the reserve price of Rs.317Cr. a unit.

Adani Group clarifies it doesn’t want to enter the consumer mobility space but would participate in the upcoming auction. Adani Group intends to provide private network solutions with enhanced security at its airports, logistics, power generation, distribution, and manufacturing units. They mentioned their plans align with their recent proposition of increasing the Adani Foundation’s investment in education, skill developments, and healthcare. Despite their current focus being on 5G private captive networks, they would target both 5G airwaves 26 GHz and C-band also called mid-band. As ecosystems are now developed around C-band and not much around 26GHz waves.

Adani telco will include services in automation of factories, remote education centers or remote working facilities, and other 5G storage solutions. Spectrum leasing means one company leasing spectrum from telecoms for a fee to corporates keen to invest in such networks. The large corporates can be setting networks on their own or in a tie-up with a technology company. Adani group will have the facility to serve enterprise offerings which include the private network as a service. The entry of Adani Group could make difficult situations for cash-strapped Vodafone Idea. This would dampen future revenue streams for the current telecom companies. Vodafone Idea may either overbid or miss out on the opportunity to participate in the auction.

The Centre plans 72Ghz worth 4.5 lakh Cr. to be valid for 20 years at the base price in various low bands (600 Mhz, 700 Mhz, 800 Mhz, 900 Mhz, 1800 Mhz, 2100 Mhz, 2300, 2500 Mhz), mid (3.3-3.67 GHz) and high (26 GHz) frequency bands. However, the government expects telecoms to use both mid and high-band spectrum to roll out 5G services.

Brent oil fell over 4% in a week amid economic crisis

Brent crude fell over 4% in a week amid economic worries; could trade in $98 and $112 range.

Brent crude reported a weekly drop of 4.1% while WTI down by 3.4%, after the first monthly drop since November. Prices fell on Tuesday as Brent’s $10.73 drop was the contract’s third-biggest daily drop since 1988, when it began trading. On 5th July 2022, Brent Crude fell by $10.73, which was the contact’s first monthly drop since November.
Central banks around the world are increasing interest rates to control inflation, raising fears that rising borrowing costs could slowdown growth. While potential lockdown in shanghai due to covid-19 could affect oil demand. The restrictive monetary policy of major economies threatened economic growth. This led to the fall in US oil benchmark, tracking a decline in a commodity markets. There was a rise in oil prices this year by 35%. This is due to the disrupted oil supply due to the war in Ukraine and also the global economic recovery. This also affected the price of natural gas, as it surged upto 17% in US and EU.

An important export route for Kazakh oil is in the risk of being suspended. It demands a Russian court order for it to temporarily shut down. After labour strike ended in Norway, there was a fall in the crude oil prices. The price of natural gas and crude oil also fell as th e Euro record a 20-year low against the US dollar. According to the US non-farm payroll data,in June the economy added more jobs than expected. This is an indication of constant strength of labour market. This gives gives the Federal Reserve ammunition to deliver another 75-basis-point rate hike this month. The US energy firms this week hit the highest since march 2020 by adding two oil rigs, bringing the total to 597. Due to the economic fears the prices of oil fell this week. However, the markets are still indicating bullish signals. The supply tightness is likely to intensify than to ease. The price volatility may continue this week. The western countries has banned oil export from Russia. This have supported prices and sparked a re-routing of flows while the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allied producers struggle to deliver on pledged production increases. In this week the Bent crude could trade could trade in $98 and $112 range. This week the rupee will decide the crude movement. .In the domestic market, crude has very good support at Rs 7970.00, sustaining below this can show Rs 7760, while upsides Rs 8390 and Rs 8550 are acting as a resistance.

RBI's Revised Co-Lending Norms Set to Transform NBFC Growth
Business, Expert Views - July 11, 2022

RBI expects Inflation to cool from October.

RBI expects inflation to cool from October:

Inflation in India is expected to slow down from October. The Central bank will minimize its aggressive action to cut down inflation, as per Governor Das.

As per RBI governor Shaktikanta Das, global factors should have more consideration while assessing inflation targets and current developments in Europe. The governor was focused on the importance of monetary policy. It will help in reducing inflation and inflation targets, despite fears that policy tightening could crease economic growth. He also added, after controlling inflation in the second half, there are chances of recession in India.

The Central bank on Friday eased its monetary policy to increase foreign investment and lift foreign exchange reserves. In India, inflation is above RBI’s target since the start of the year. This affected a hike in interest rates by 90 basis points in the last 2 months. All the central banks have been fighting against inflation driven by surging commodity prices, the Russia-Ukraine war, and supply chain disruptions. In June, RBI said expected inflation was at 6.7% and will cool down from October.

The impact of global factors on the domestic economy has increased over past years due to pandemics and war. So there should be greater recognition of global factors in local inflation and economic growth. This requires more coordination among countries to tackle problems. As per International Monetary Fund’s Latest projections, around 77% of countries have reported an increase in inflation, and this number could reach up to 90% in 2022.

Conclusion:

RBI governor suggested that not all tightening sessions have ended in recession.  He even mentioned that these measures won’t last long. The Central Bank and other major banks have revised GDP projections. It indicates a loss of pace in the growth of the economy rather than loss of a level. RBI governor mentioned many times that RBI plans to bring down inflation to 4% with a sensible slowdown in the economy. Inflation has also raised concerns about whether monetary tightening will end in a global recession or if there can be a soft landing. Global factors have difficult policy alternatives between price stability and economic activity.

Loan against FD.

Loan against FD.

 

All Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC’s) and Housing Finance Companies (HFCs) accepting FD’s now offer loans on FD’s under certain terms and conditions. Any individual who has invested in FDs may claim loans against deposits by paying two percent above the FD rate for the loan period, and this can be executed after three months of deposit. The loan against the FD option can be considered over the option of prematurity of fixed deposits.

 

Pre-mature withdrawal theory of FD:

Given the current economic situation where government initiates to bring liquidity into the system, HFC and NBFCs have also re-established their liquidity characteristics in their FD schemes. Organizations offer FD options with premature withdrawal. However, no partial withdrawal option will be offered to the clients. In the event of premature withdrawal, the entire FD will be canceled and the interest on penalties for the period FD will be charged. Let’s suppose, for 5 years from 2017 to 2022, an individual has ₹10 lakh in FD. If he wants to close the FD prematurely in 2020, he must give up 1% to 2% annually in penalty charges for 3 years. You probably only need 50% of the money, but you have to withdraw the entire funds.

 

Brief about availing Loan against the FD’s:

In case of financial crises such as medical bills or marriage payments, people prefer to search for loans from multiple outlets to fulfill their requirements. One such source is a fixed deposit loan. The loan against an FD is a secured loan where your fixed deposit funds can act as a collateral to receive a loan. You will obtain a loan balance of up to 90% of the deposit. You don’t have to pause and take the money from FD for loan whereas you will receive a loan against FD.

 

Who can apply for this scheme?

Anyone with a deposit account can use FD loan irrespective of salary, occupation and credit rating. The following individuals may apply for an FD loan –

• All the fixed deposit holders may apply for a loan from FD, including individual holders or joint accounts.
• If you are minor, then this scheme is not applicable for you.
• Five-year tax saving FD investors can not apply for this type of loan.

 

Pros from this scheme:
