Dear Sir,

Today on 26th Nov the benchmark indices witnessed smart rally in last one hour of trade, after trading choppy since the beginning of trade. The Sensex closed above 9000 mark and the Nifty shut shop above 2700 levels. The sentiment turned positive on the hope that there may be rate cut by RBI following China, as the China has cut CRR by 100 bps to 16% from 17%. They also lowered lending rates to 5.58% from 6.66%. China's central bank slashed lending rates by most in 11 years.

In this process there is one recent development in china. They have now started Importing Iron ores for the production of steel. The recent down fall in steel & Iron Ore was due to big fall in Demand where china had almost stop importing. Now as they have started importing the biggest iron ore producing and exporting company Sesa Goa will be benefit the most. Hence we suggest you to buy Sesa Goa Ltd at present market rates.

Sesa Goa Limited, the flagship company of Sesa Group is India's largest exporter of iron ore in the private sector. Iron ore business contributes to about 80% of the company's revenues. The company has access to over 200 million tons of iron ore reserves in Goa, Karnataka and Orissa. It has also developed an energy recovery technology to manufacture coke, compliant with advanced global emission norms.

Sesa Goa announced a phenomenal rise in its consolidated net profit for the second quarter ended September 2008. During the quarter, the profit of the company rose 3.61 times to Rs.3,366.20 million, from Rs.931 million in the same quarter, last year.

The consolidated income rose 2.29 times to Rs.9,211.20 million for the quarter ended Sep. 30, 2008, as against Rs.4,005.50 million for the quarter ended Sep. 30, 2007.

While on a standalone basis, the company disclosed 3.72 times rise in net profit at Rs 3,060.80 million for the quarter ended Sep. 30, 2008, as against Rs 821.40 million for the quarter ended Sep. 30, 2007.

Total Income increased 2.51 times to Rs 8,767.60 million for the quarter ended Sep. 30, 2008 from Rs 3,492.10 million for the quarter ended Sep. 30, 2007.

The reason behind the recent down fall in this stock is reduction in the imports from China. But now that china has again started Importing Iron Ores for steel production, the company's revenue will again raise.

The company has a strong management bandwidth and also has shown strong financial growth in the past. The topline and bottomline have grown consistently in the last five years. The stock is currently trading at Rs71 it is up 11 points from its 52 week low. We suggest you to buy this stock at current market level.
