01:22 >> All right, thanks for tuning into India Market Close.
01:24 We are counting down to the finance minister interview and
01:27 we have Deepali Goenka, a well-spun living Johnny in moments from now.
01:30 But let's take stock of the market and what they've done.
01:34 And so 0.82% now, less this look impressive.
01:38 The problem only is that we are off the highs of the day.
01:40 So we touched, we crossed 22,000, almost nudged 22,100, and
01:45 currently at 21,873, so it's been a bit of a down tick.
01:49 The advanced decline ratio should come up on your screen in moments from now,
01:54 just to show you if there's a pain at the broader end of the spectrum or no.
01:57 And rather, relative to what they would have done.
01:59 So as you saw, it started off really well, and now has petered down.
02:04 In the last hour and a half or two hours of trade,
02:07 we've had a bit of a narrowing of the breadth as well.
02:09 The heat map next on your screen, and remember, it was dominated by IT,
02:13 Adani ports, to an extent a couple of other stocks, and a very little rate.
02:17 We still have little rate, and Ayesha is still the top loser.
02:20 The gainers list though, has BPCL, HPIOC, ONGC, so
02:25 oil upstream is doing extremely well.
02:27 There is strength in Adani ports, but not that much.
02:30 NTPC, Coal India, Power Grid show that the rally in the power stocks is well and
02:34 truly alive.
02:35 And if you just look at the broader end of the spectrum, Tamannaa as well,
02:39 the likes of INOX, WIND, Suzlon, etc.
02:42 Just show that somehow power remains that sector,
02:45 that people log in at the first sight of an issue.
02:47 What is the broader end of the spectrum showing?
02:49 >> Absolutely, a broader end of the spectrum also participating in this, but
02:53 BPCL up 10% is really telling you the extent of the story, quite astonishing.
02:58 We're going to look at a stock that's not doing too well.
03:01 I have to talk about BTM, because there is just no reprieve in sight.
03:06 It's not moved from that 20% lower circuit for
03:09 the last two trading sessions, and you're seeing that follow on there.
03:14 NHPC has seen a set of large trades, and
03:17 we'll just pull up NHPC very quickly, another counter that has done well.
03:21 You'll find a lot of them in the market today.
03:23 I'll just quickly talk about EZ Trip.
03:24 Numbers have come out, and they're also considering a QIP of about 1,000 crores.
03:30 The entire hotel, hospitality, tourism space also has been having a pretty good day.
03:37 Just a last couple of them, Neeraj spoke about energy, Urja and
03:41 Vari, thanks to the solar push, have also seen a good uptick.
03:46 So thematic place, but overall the sentiment very, very positive this afternoon.
03:51 >> It is looking extremely constructive, and it's a packed show.
03:54 We have the FM interview coming up in about 25 minutes, but before that,
03:59 an interesting set of numbers that came out a couple of days ago, and
04:02 that's Wellspun Living, a strong quarterly performance.
04:05 You have to admit they recorded the highest quarterly revenue,
04:09 the company, and it came in on the back of decent growth on the EBITDA front as well.
04:15 67% uptick, YOY, on the EBITDA front, so strong showing there as well.
04:20 Mr. Deepali Goenka, MD and CEO of Wellspun Living joins us on the show.
04:23 Mr. Goenka, good having you.
04:24 Thanks for taking the time out.
04:25 Neeraj here, good afternoon.
04:27 Was this something that you had penciled in?
04:29 Because we were talking about how textile companies are having a mixed bag, but
04:33 you are no longer just a textile company, doing a lot more beyond that.
04:37 So is this something that was on expected lines?
04:39 And do you expect that this could be the new normal on the operational metrics,
04:43 margins in particular?
04:44 >> Yes, Neeraj, absolutely.
04:48 So we no longer are just home textiles.
04:50 As you know, we actually have these emerging businesses which are flooring,
04:56 advanced textiles and retail, which now contribute 35% to our top line today.
05:02 And have grown 21% year on year.
05:05 And this actually is going to be a mixed bag, which will have our core businesses,
05:10 which are our home textiles along with our emerging businesses,
05:14 which will contribute to our top line.
05:15 And of course, they're also going to be across the geographies globally.
05:20 So like the domestic business, which has grown 20% year on year and
05:24 10% quarter on quarter is an opportunity, as you see.
05:30 A flooring business which grew 46%, actually owing to even the global markets
05:35 where the China plus one is really playing very, very strongly.
05:40 And India, where hospitality institutions and
05:43 residential are again coming up strong.
05:46 And we also saw that in the budget's announcement as well,
05:49 that India towards the journey of 5 trillion.
05:52 How the focus is on the long term perspective of growth as well.
05:56 So yes, that is where it is going to be.
05:59 >> Expect the momentum to continue into, I know it's a bit seasonal, but
06:05 I'm just trying to understand, could quarter four or
06:08 the usual momentum could continue into FY25 as well on the growth front?
06:12 >> We are committed to our numbers in the terms of growth, Neeraj,
06:18 and it's absolutely, that's what we are working towards.
06:23 So as you know, we had committed to a growth of around 12% and
06:28 the EBITDA of around 15%.
06:32 We have actually devised a growth to 15% this year annually, and
06:36 we'll continue and take this on for the next year as well.
06:40 So this is absolutely intact as the way forward as well.
06:44 And we have always talked about 2026 as a number and a milestone.
06:48 That is like end of 2026 as a top line of 15,000 crores with a mix of
06:54 all the businesses where 45% will be our emerging businesses.
07:00 So yes, that's what we are working towards.
07:02 >> Considering what you're clocking in the current quarter,
07:04 people might be deceived to believe that that is a bit conservative as well.
07:08 But hey, under promising and over delivering is always great.
07:11 I was just wondering what I also meant to ask when you had talked about
07:14 growth was the quality of growth.
07:15 The return ratios have shown an improvement vis-a-vis 2023 or FY23,
07:21 if you will.
07:22 And again, it is a business which is dogged by various moving parts in your case.
07:28 But do you reckon that these double digit, mid-teen double digits or
07:32 higher teen double digit return on capital numbers could be
07:36 something that you would strive to achieve as a normal?
07:40 >> So you know what, last year dipped to 5.7% and
07:44 we spoke last year this time, this quarter.
07:47 This year, I mean, if I talk about this quarter three, it is analyzed like 15%.
07:54 And we had targeted this number for this quarter and for this year.
08:00 And we'll continue to have this double digit.
08:02 It has to be.
08:03 Even the projects that we're investing in, if you know about our Jackards in
08:08 manufacturing and pillows in America,
08:11 the Rossi prudence remains at 20% which we are taking on.
08:15 So yes, this is a very strong focus on whatever we do, Neeraj, actually.
08:20 >> Okay, in fact, let's talk about that.
08:23 We're talking about private CAPEX not quite coming through but
08:27 coming in bits and pieces.
08:29 You guys are doing some serious private CAPEX.
08:31 Talk to us about these.
08:32 When do the facilities come on stream?
08:34 And what do the various phases of CAPEX coming on stream mean for
08:38 growth numbers for you?
08:40 >> So yeah, let me give you a perspective here.
08:43 So earlier we spoke about a 30 megawatt power plant,
08:47 which we were talking about around 300 crores.
08:51 We have already spent around, say 230 right now.
08:56 For the next year, which I'm talking about is the Jackard towels and
09:00 our beach towels, which we are investing on a brownfield in our Anjar capacity.
09:07 There and pillow factory in America.
09:11 This actually gives us an, and these all will be operational half too.
09:14 But yes, that's going to be the kind of the shelf space.
09:19 And I always talk about the shelf space,
09:21 because I always say that it's not just towel and sheets.
09:23 It is also going to be related, complementing products.
09:28 So this actually gives us a wider kind of opportunity of products,
09:34 even in kitchen towels, fashion towels, and
09:36 beach towels owing to opportunities that are there where India is focused.
09:41 Pillow becomes, it's a great opportunity.
09:44 It is as big as the towels, 2.6 billion in America.
09:49 Gives us a shelf space, growth, and closer to the customers.
09:54 We already have our warehouses.
09:56 So yes, that becomes a good opportunity for us, Neeraj.
10:00 >> Okay, well, we wish you all the best for that and more.
10:04 Thanks so much for taking the time out and speaking with us.
10:06 Congratulations on a good quarter and all the best for many more.
10:08 >> Thank you, Neeraj.
10:10 Always great talking to you.
10:12 >> Likewise, likewise, Ms. Goenka.
10:14 Well, that's well spent living confident,
10:15 the Bali Goenka talking about targets set out and
10:19 internals as well, including return ratios.
10:21 By the way, before we take that breather and take that break,
10:24 I must say the oil and gas space is doing anything else but taking a breather.
10:28 Because just look at oil upstream or
10:31 oil downstream, there is just terrific gains packed there.
10:36 We come back after this break and talk a bit about that between me and
10:40 Tamanna as well as getting experts to talk about how do the charts look for
10:44 some of those stocks.

13:14 >> Welcome back.
13:18 Markets in a buoyant mood, perhaps lit from the 22,000 levels and
13:23 from the day's high, but hitting strong and staying up strong nevertheless.
13:27 Can't say that there's weakness from any angle of the day's highs though.
13:31 What is really powering and fueling the markets truly is the power space,
13:36 oil and gas, even the renewables to be honest, but specifically on oil and gas.
13:41 An astonishing kind of a scenario, BPCL about 11% up, look at IOC, HPCL,
13:47 ONGC, all of them completely flying.
13:50 Now a couple of things to understand why this is happening or
13:53 factors around this and you know, Neeraj, so one, you have the crude play.
13:57 Crude price is up, instability there.
14:00 We were speaking with Mark Matthews this morning who says that he thinks US
14:04 will figure it out.
14:05 Biden doesn't want crude prices rocketing before an election.
14:09 But on the other hand, from the budget perspective,
14:12 all the government's done is actually cut the amount of money they're going to
14:15 give to these companies to go renewable.
14:19 They've halved that amount, but
14:20 that doesn't seem to make a difference because of their profits.
14:23 >> Yeah, one, that the amount maybe, actually you're right,
14:25 the profits and the valuations.
14:26 I think that's probably the story because remember today is one thing,
14:29 but we marked this a few days back, four or five days back as well,
14:33 when the oil and gas stocks had a massive uptick.
14:35 >> Yes, you did in Editor's Cup.
14:37 >> Which was on 24th Jan and then I think 28th or 29th Jan,
14:40 just before the budget, ONGC was up some 7, 8% on that day.
14:45 And the oil India was up about 3% as well.
14:48 So we're seeing this big gains coming in for
14:52 stocks like Gale and Citigas Distributors.
14:55 It's LNG, the lower LNG prices which are probably playing out for
15:01 stocks like BPHP IOC, just the stability of earnings and the valuations.
15:06 Somebody was talking about how if you look at the net debt numbers for
15:09 some of these companies, BPCL, at a net debt of 6,000 crores on that market cap
15:13 and that size, you could argue it's virtually debt free because 6,000
15:16 crores net debt is virtually nothing.
15:18 So when was the last time people saw the finances of these companies being so
15:22 well managed? And then, I mean, when you think of the
15:25 overall PSU pack having rallied, these are probably the few stocks which are
15:29 available at multiples which are maybe still single digits or now after the
15:33 rally, early double digits, which is actually not too bad at all.
15:36 So I think that is what probably seems to be working.
15:39 What are the factors that seems to be working, Kamanna?
15:41 >> Well, let's get Chandan Taparia's view on that.
15:43 He's head technical and derivatives research MOFSL.
15:47 Chandan, very good afternoon. But before I come to you on the oil and
15:50 gas space, let's talk about the markets and the levels that you see here,
15:54 22,000 breached and back. Do you think you're forming now a
16:00 stronger base at these higher levels? Bank Nifty and Nifty IT.
16:05 Nifty IT also, by the way, having a great day, about 2% up.
16:08 So your take on the levels first, Chandan.
16:10 >> Yeah. So before I talk about the levels of market, let me first start with
16:13 India Wix. In last two trading sessions, we have
16:16 seen decline in the volatility. However, intraday swings are there.
16:19 So decline in the volatility indicates that now buzzert and volatile queues
16:22 are away and market will move as per its level and setup.
16:26 So talking about Nifty, today we made a new lifetime high.
16:30 Earlier high was 22,124. Today we made high at 22,126.
16:34 And after that, some sort of profit book line, booking decline was seen
16:37 from higher levels. But the structure is in tech.
16:39 Declines are likely to be bought. Supports are shifting higher.
16:42 And we believe that till Nifty holds about 21,700 zone, any small
16:46 decline could be bought for an upside move to us.
16:49 22,200 kind of levels. Now if I talk about the Bank Nifty index,
16:53 Bank Nifty is slightly underperforming from last couple of days.
16:56 Today it headed to 46,900 zone, but then corrected by around 500, 600 points
17:01 from higher levels. So underperformance could continue.
17:04 Bank Nifty might trade in between 45,750 to 47,000 zone for next two,
17:09 three days. But yes, buy on decline will continue in the Nifty index
17:12 from current level as well.
17:15 Okay. Chandan, with this in mind, actually let's get your stock picks first
17:22 and then we'll come to you on oil and gas.
17:24 What are the ideas that you're giving us this afternoon?
17:27 So the idea is very clear. Be it CPSC, Central Public Sector Enterprises,
17:31 be it PSU, oil marketing companies, or you can select selective metal and mining.
17:38 So that is a clear winning streak we are witnessing.
17:42 So let me start with the first that is buy on NMDC.
17:45 We have seen strength coming in the counter.
17:48 It has seen some short covering and consolidation breakout is visible
17:53 after 19-20 long trading session.
17:55 So recommending to buy on NMDC with support of 230 and it has potential
17:59 to move to us 248 to 250 kind of level.
18:02 Apart from that, most of the oil marketing companies are likely to do well.
18:06 However, all these stocks have rallied by 18%.
18:10 So now I'll focus on Hindustan Petroleum, which is up by around 5-6%.
18:15 Trend is in tech. One can buy with support of 484 for an upside move to us 510.
18:20 So positive on NMDC, selective oil marketing companies,
18:24 and most of the CPSC or public sector stocks in this market scenario.
18:29 And before we get to talk to our PSU banks with Harsh,
18:32 Chandan, you gave us an oil marketing company.
18:35 I'm just trying to understand what are the targets that you foresee
18:38 for any of these oil upstream, be it ONGC, BP, HP, IOC.
18:42 What are the slightly longer term or medium term targets that you're working with here?
18:46 And can this current move continue tomorrow? Not tomorrow, sorry, on Monday, Tuesday as well.
18:51 Yeah, so let me first talk about IOC.
18:54 We have seen decent run up in last couple of months in the counter.
18:57 In last four months, it rallied from 90 to 164.
19:01 So you can understand 70-80% move was there.
19:04 If I look at the yearly chart in 2017,
19:08 I4, the stock was 154 and today we have surpassed it high.
19:12 So we clearly see seven to eight years long consolidation breakout
19:16 and it is entering into the new lifetime iteratory.
19:18 So further 20-25% momentum cannot be ruled out.
19:22 We believe that now 155 could act as a measure support for a rally to us.
19:26 185 to 190 levels in IOC. That comes to 20 to 30% descent upside from current zone.
19:32 Now let me talk about BPCL. BPCL again, major breakout is visible.
19:37 In 2017, it made high near 561.
19:41 Even in 2019, high was 560-550 zone.
19:45 So that 550-560 zone is now big and decisive move over the same will open further 20-30% moment.
19:51 So when you talk about BPCL, we are looking for an up move to our 610,
19:55 which is 10% from current level. So positive strength on both.
19:59 As we have seen major consolidation breakout on monthly, weekly and the yearly chart.
20:03 610 on BPCL is what Chandan sees. By the way, what is also perhaps moving for these companies
20:09 is that they have not had to take any price cut in petrol, diesel prices for over 20 months.
20:15 Possibly one could come before the elections, but they have now the coffers to deal with it.
20:21 Keeping the focus with public sector companies and now let me move to PSBs.
20:25 PSU bank rallies have continued for the second consecutive day.
20:30 SBI, Bank of Baroda, PNB are all in focus. Harsh joins us with what is driving the PSU banks.
20:36 Now, Harsh, the fiscal deficit squeeze or the intent to stay on the fiscal deficit path
20:43 and tighten the belt is music to the ears of the banking system and the PSBs.
20:48 But is there a bigger story here?
20:50 Well, yes, you know, you've of course, some of that that optimism is led by the good budget,
20:59 so-called with regard to where bonds are concerned.
21:02 But, you know, there are certain points that I want to cover certain basis.
21:06 Let's first look at, you know, the weightage to try to determine which are the top constituents.
21:11 You look at the likes of an SBI, Bob, PNB, Canbank, largely 70% in terms of weightage on the nifty PSU bank.
21:18 And the nifty PSU bank itself has rallied 16% year to date, 32% last three months,
21:24 six months, 48% returns in the last year, 76%, really unheard of in terms of their returns.
21:31 That's how the valuations essentially stack up. You have those valuations.
21:36 What's really driving the valuations, you know, ahead of what it has been over the last 10 years is
21:42 and I'll highlight four key reasons for that. One growth has come back in a solid fashion.
21:48 You are seeing them clock double digit plus growth over the last two to three quarters.
21:53 So that's one margins haven't diluted despite a difficult margin environment.
21:57 They've been able to hold on to their margins also because the loan to deposit ratio is quite decent.
22:04 And therefore, they haven't been able to haven't found the need to really fight for deposits,
22:08 even in a high growth environment. Third is your credit costs have been steadily coming off.
22:14 Your NP ratios have been improving quite dramatically.
22:18 And asset quality system wide is quite solid.
22:20 And therefore, you're not able to differentiate between a PSU as well as a private bank.
22:24 Lastly, your ROAs have corrected very, very significantly.
22:28 You're seeing all four of these banks clock ROAs nearly 1% or 1% plus.
22:33 Three of them definitely doing 1% plus. And that's that's the big positive coming through.
22:38 So four key reasons why they're doing so well.
22:41 And that change seems to be happening that re-rating clearly seems to be playing out even on valuations.
22:46 Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, we heard from, I think, the biggest PSP bank,
22:52 the biggest PSU banker as well, Dinesh Khara today. Thank you for that, Harsh.
22:56 Let's just play out a clip of that conversation that we had earlier on NDTV Profit with Dinesh Khara,
23:01 who was talking about what he expects from the RBI in the next MPC meet.
23:07 Very important question. Soon after the budget, you know, we have the RBI policy coming up,
23:13 rather MPC meeting coming up on the 8th. What do you think will be the tone of the RBI?
23:19 I think things are easing out, though liquidity has been tightened.
23:22 Do you think that RBI will be slightly more dovish than what it was in the last quarter?
23:30 I think perhaps I'm not expecting any kind of a change in stance or the direction as of now.
23:38 But maybe they will, MPC would have even much more data, which I'm not privy to.
23:45 So I'll not be efficient to really comment much on that.
23:48 But my overall sense is that perhaps it is likely to be the tone and also the direction should be what it was in the last policy.
23:57 No hike expected immediately by Dinesh Khara. Chandan Taparia with us.
24:03 Chandan, anything you like in the PSU bank pack?
24:07 Where do you think, you know, some kind of an upside exists?
24:11 And look at Punjab and Sindh Bank today. I'm not sure why that stock is firing,
24:15 but you have a complete crazy ride up. Chandan, anything which is on top of your list?
24:21 Yes, we like most of the PSU name, whether you talk about PSU banks or defence, railway, energy, power.
24:29 I believe the PSU team or CPSC team will continue in the Indian markets.
24:34 If you start with PSU banks, then I can talk about a stock like Kendra Bank or PNB.
24:41 So starting with Kendra Bank, we have seen a consolidation breakout.
24:45 It is making higher tops, higher bottoms, longs were added.
24:48 So by a decline to us 510 with support of 500, it has potential to move to us 530.
24:54 Tomorrow we have SBI result, so that we need to keep in mind.
24:58 Because as per the result outcome, some sort of volatility could trigger in the counter.
25:01 But as of now, positive on Kendra Bank.
25:04 Then you can focus on selective power name when you talk about PSU or PSU,
25:09 whether we talk about Power Grid or NTPC or other name.
25:14 So I think these are the stocks from power and energy you need to keep in mind apart from banks and PSU.
