Dear Sir,


It's the last trading day of what has been truly an eventful week for the market and so much has happened in the last week. The vote of confidence went through, the existing Govt to continue its operation. This is good news for the US-India civilian nuclear agreement that is currently under consideration by the International Atomic Energy Agency and Nuclear Suppliers Group.

Nuclear energy is a clean and renewable energy source. For over 30 years, over 50 per cent of electricity generated in our country has come from nuclear power. India's power demand is rising and will continue to grow. India is gradually progressing towards a service-led economy from an agrarian economy, says the study. Supply and production have increased but demand has doubled. According to the study, the demand can only be met through a five to 10-fold rise in power production.

This means investments in the power sector will increase over $600 billion (Rs 24 lakh crore) in the next 10 years.

In this context N-Deal will boost the Power supply for India with a cheaper source. If the nuclear deal goes ahead, companies like L&T, BHEL, NTPC, Areva T&D, Alstom Projects, Rolta, HCC, ABB, Crompton Greaves, Siemens stand to gain.

  L&T Ltd

The company will get into mainstream nuclear projects if the deal goes through. It entered into a recent tie-up with Mitsubishi for super critical boilers. The Mitsubishi technology would be used for Nuclear Power Corp. L&T may leverage its relationship with Mitsubishi for its other nuclear business.

  BHEL Ltd

268

Company makes critical equipment for India's nuclear power facilities.



When the demand rises to 335 GW, India's power sector will have to generate 415-440 GW for plant availability adjustments and 5% spinning reserves. Adding 300 GW by 2017 will mean increasing the annual capacity by 30 GW against the current growth capacity of 9 GW.

Market is getting steadier and stronger day by day. Take benefit of these stocks that are trading lower because of falling market. If this N-Deal goes through above stocks will benefit. Hence we suggest you to start investing in these Power sector companies.
