market saw consolidation on Friday after a steep fall in previous session. The
Sensex rose 1.06 points to 27458.64 while the Nifty fell 0.75 points to
8341.40.
About 1092 shares have advanced, 1777 sharesdeclined, and 170 shares are unchanged on the BSE.
Hindalco Industries, Infosys, SBI, Larsen &
Toubro, ICICI Bank and IDFC rallied 2-4 percent whereas Bharti Airtel, Wipro,
Reliance Industries, ITC, M&M, Idea Cellular, Cairn India and HCL Tech lost

02:55pm SpiceJet falls: Low-cost
carrier SpiceJet will have to cancel more than a fifth of its planned daily
flights if it cannot reach an agreement with its lessors to bring in more
aircraft by the end of this month, a company spokesman said.
SpiceJet, which came close to collapsing in
December after running out of cash to pay its creditors, is scheduled to make
280 daily flights from next week.
But with its current fleet at 17 Boeing 737 jets
and 15 Bombardier Q400s SpiceJet can only fly 218 journeys a day, the spokesman
said on Friday.
SpiceJet lost 11 of its Boeing planes after the
Delhi High Court this month ordered the aviation regulator to deregister the
jets, following disputes with three lessors.
The troubles of India's second-largest budget
carrier by market share have underlined the difficulties of operating in the
country, where air travel is growing rapidly but high costs and tough competition
have left most carriers unprofitable.
The company spokesman said SpiceJet is in talks
to resolve disputes with two of its lessors and get back enough planes to allow
it to meet its summer schedule. On Monday it said one of its lessors had agreed
to withdraw the deregistion process, reports Reuters.
02:30pm Interview: Talking onthe business prospects going forward Vimal Kejriwal, MD & CEO, KEC
International said January to March quarter has always been the best.
Historically, about 40-45 percent of the company's revenues come from the
fourth quarter.
The company has already announced orders worth Rs
2000 crore in Q3 and Q4 and the total order book by March-end would be between
Rs 8000-10000 crores. So, the revenues and margins in Q4 and the next fiscal
would improve considerably, he adds.
He expects 150-200 basis points improvement in
margins for the next fiscal. In the current year the margins were low due to
significant losses in the new business of water and railway but now these loss
making orders are getting closed, adds Kejriwal.
According to Kejriwal, the order inflow in first
three quarters was not significant even though tenders were floated but now
clients like Power Grid and utilities are keen to award those tenders.
