Renewable Energy provide $7.7 trillion dollars Investment Opportunity

Renewable energy projects may account for as much as two-thirds of the $7.7 trillion in global investment for new power plants by 2030, as tighter emissions rules hamper fossil fuel facilities and solar and wind power costs continue to decline.

About $5.1 trillion of total power plant investment will be spent on renewables, including conventional hydropower, according to a report released Tuesday by Bloomberg New Energy Finance.

About half of total pile — $2.5 trillion — will go to Asia, where new solar installations are likely to exceed gas and coal projects combined. Europe will account for $967 billion and the Americas $816 billion of investments in renewables. The Middle East and Africa will invest an additional $818 billion.

That could help the global carbon dioxide emissions to max out by the end of the next decade.

The report estimates that 5,000 gigawatts of power generation capacity will be added globally by 2030 — about four times the current amount of generating capacity in the United States.

Coal, gas and oil-fired power plants will account for only about one-fifth of new capacity, with most of that installed in developing countries where demand for electricity is highest. That will shrink fossil fuel’s share of power generation to 46 percent globally from 64 percent now.

Solar and wind power, on the other hand, will grow their combined share of power generation to 16 percent by 2030, up from 3 percent last year. The growth comes and the decreases costs of solar panel and wind turbine manufacturing, which has helped to make renewables projects more profitable.

BRICS - 2014

The leaders of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa agreed to launch the institutions to finance infrastructure projects and head off future economic crises.

The five emerging nations first unveiled their plans last year. The New Development Bank will mirror the Washington-based World Bank while the reserve is seen as a "mini-IMF".

The development bank will have initial capital of $50 billion that could rise to $100 billion, funded equally by each nation to avoid concerns that one country has more power than the other.

After drawn-out negotiations about the bank's location, BRICS leaders agreed to put its headquarters in Shanghai. The first president will be Indian while the first board chair will from Brazil.

India's Past - Present - Future

Are you surprised that 300 years ago, India's share in world trade was 25% and today it may be just 1%.

Or that in 1700s, India's economic position was 1st and UK's 10th, Or for that matter, a century ago, 1 rupees could get you 15 pounds.

What a pity that India, once a land of prosperity and high happiness index, is now a land of disparity and poverty quotients.

One can't laud enough the efforts of the Hari couple - for trying to bring back the pride for our motherland.

What a great ambassador India have? India has got the talent. The future is bright; India will reclaim its pride of place.

Jago Indians, Know thy India and help it Rise Again......

Limit What You Borrow - Invest your money

Living on credit cards and loans couldn't make you rich.

Warren Buffett has never borrowed a amount - not to invest, not for a mortgage.

He has gotten many heart-rendering letters from people who thought their borrowing was manageable but became overwhelmed by debt.

His advice:
Negotiate with creditors to pay what you can. Then, when you're debt-free, work on saving some money that you can use to invest.

Reinvest Your Profits

When you first make money in the stock market, you may be spend it. Don't. Instead, reinvest the profits.

Warren Buffett learned this early on. In high school, he and a pal bought a pinball machine to put in a barbershop.

With the money they earned, they bought more machines until they had eight in different shops. When the friends sold the venture,

Warren Buffett used the proceeds to buy stocks and to start another small business. By age 26, he'd earned $174,000 -- or $1.4 million in today's money.

Even a small sum can turn into great wealth.

R.I.P. Internet (1969-2014)

At only 45 years old, the Internet will be laid to rest in 2014. And Silicon Valley is thrilled.

Because they know,.........
The Economist believes the death of the Internet "will be transformative."

In fact, the CEO of Cisco Systems, one of the largest tech companies on the planet - says somebody's going to bank "14.4 trillion in profit from one concept only."

Investment Spirit from WB

In that spirit, I've selected four quotes from Warren Buffett, chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, that contain especially important lessons for the beginning investors.

Buffett, who started investing when he was 11 years old, has long been viewed as an investing duration, and he's one of the world's greatest investors.

He believes in buying great businesses and holding them for the long time, and his investing methodology has helped grow the share price of Berkshire Hathaway from just over $11 in 1962 to more than $193,000 today.

1. On the power of time

Time is the friend of the wonderful business, the enemy of the mediocre.

In his 2001 letter to shareholders, Buffett wrote, "You only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out." Similarly, when times get tough, we can often recognize truly great businesses.

The challenge is to build a portfolio made up of the best companies! Great businesses can expand and grow for many years, rewarding investors in the process.

This is especially true for young investors who have many years to invest and reap the benefits of compounded returns.

2. On buying and holding

In fact, when we own portions of outstanding businesses with outstanding managements, our favorite holding period is forever.

We are just the opposite of those who hurry to sell and book profits when companies perform well but who hang on to businesses that disappoint.

3. On looking to the future

Focus your investing energies on identifying quality businesses of which you would like to be a co-owner for many years.

4. On keeping your cool and avoiding the herd

These businesses will indeed suffer earnings hiccups, as they always have. But most major companies will be setting new profit records 5, 10 and 20 years from now.

Warren Buffett THOUGHTS

There are times when doing nothing is a sign of investing brilliance.

If you don’t know jewelry,know the jeweler.

Think 10 years, rather than 10 minutes.

Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.

Our favourite holding period is forever.

Rule No 1: Never lose money.
Rule No 2: Never forget rule No 1.

I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years.

Let blockheads read what blockheads wrote.

We believe that according the name “investors” to institutions that trade actively is like calling someone who repeatedly engages in one-night stands a “romantic”.

Only buy something that you’d be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years.

We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.

Skill, which require for be Successful Investor

Theory, all that is required to be a successful investor is to know when to buy, when to sell and, most importantly, how much to wager.

The tongue-in- cheek advice to “buy low, sell high’’ given to every trainee trader perfectly encapsulates the theory as well as the practical difficulty.

The short half-life of traders shows that not everyone can follow the advice.
The reason why it is hard to put theory into practice is that we are not the rational calculating machines so beloved of academics.

The buyer believes prices will rise while the seller believes the opposite; both can’t be right

Warren Buffett's advice for Youth

The message is that once you have bought a good asset, you should hold it for the long term.

There will be economic and business cycles in between but a good asset, bought at a reasonable valuation, will give you good returns in the long run.

Buffet further says that if you are a non-professional and cannot pick stocks, you still have an option of investing in stocks. All you need is a diversified portfolio of good businesses which you can easily own through index.

“The goal of the non-professional should not be to pick winners—neither he nor his “helpers” can do that—but should rather be to own a cross-section of businesses that in aggregate are bound to do well."

Experts argue that investors should buy good companies and hold it for the long term. In case you find it difficult to identify stocks, you can simply invest through an index fund which is also cost effective in terms of management fee.

The idea is to own businesses which will do well and create wealth over time.

Avoid constantly tracking stock prices

Buffett’s style of investing is that once you have bought an asset, you should not be worried about its price every day.

This is what normally happens in real estate investments. People don’t go out to buy and sell every day.

However in the stock market, since prices are available on a real-time basis, there is temptation among investors to do something which should be avoided.

Says Buffet: “If you can enjoy Saturdays and Sundays without looking at stock prices, give it a try on weekdays.”

Avoid changes of Invest value in short time

Thinking about price changes is speculation.

People tend to buy when prices have run up quite a bit and sell when it has already fallen.

Investors, in fact, should be doing exactly the opposite. “A climate of fear is your friend when investing; a euphoric world is your enemy,”.

Keep simple investment

In order to get reasonably good returns, you don’t need to be an expert in the asset class that you are investing in.

In order to explain this, Buffett uses the example of a farm that he bought in 1986. He had very little idea about farm operations. But with the help from his son, he did a quick calculation on how much the farm will yield and what will be the operating cost. Around 28 years down the line, the output of the farm has gone up three times and its value has gone up five times.

The basic argument is that you need to “keep things simple and don’t swing for the fences”.

Time to Invest

Investors that have made money are already taking profit from the table as after a long time they have made decent money in the equity market.

Players who have returned to the market due to the recent rally should guard their optimism as the market will not be a one way street. It is expected to remain good but to get the desired returns it will take time.

In the current scenario sticking to fundamentally sound companies with strong balance sheet will be a good and a safe bet. However one thing is clear irrespective of outcome of the budget it's time to be an investors and not a Traders.

Market in the long-run always rewards patience.

Available Quality Companies

The key issue in the sector is the availability of quality companies.

While there is supply of funding in the space, there is a lag in terms of demand from good companies.

We find very few impact-creating and investible companies but at the same time there is a lot of investor money chasing them. This leads to high valuations, which further makes the sustainability of the business difficult - in terms of ability to raise more capital, bringing misaligned investors on board, etc.

Impact Invest India - (III)

Impact investing in India is fairly young and evolving quite rapidly.

Most impact investing since 2005 has been in microfinance Institutions (MFIs). Over the past three years impact investors have been working on partnering with businesses which enhance access to high-quality education, health care, energy, water and sanitation. Investors have also been keen on generating employment and developing the agricultural supply chain.

The industry today has a range of players active in India from development finance institutions, private-equity funds, venture capital funds, incubators and likewise.

Most business opportunities are early stage in nature.

High Profit Invest India

Investor wealth soared by over Rs 16 lakh crore to more than Rs 90.19 lakh crore in the first quarter of 2014-15 because of rising stock prices amid robust foreign fund inflows and the BJP government's storming to power at the Centre last month.

The BSE's 30-scrip index, Sensex, has gained 3,027.51 points or 13.52 per cent to 25,413.78 during the April-June quarter of the current fiscal. Investor wealth soared by Rs 16,04,394 crore on the back of stock market rally to reach Rs 90,19,394 crore today. It was Rs 74,15,000 crore as on March 31, 2014.

Why Flow of Investment in INDIA

The diverse economy of India encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries and a multitude of services. With the largest area of arable land, India is one of the world’s biggest food producers. It is the largest producer of milk, sugarcane and tea as well as the second largest producer of rice, fruit and vegetables.

India's pool of technical manpower base with an increasing disposable income and its burgeoning market have all combined to enable India emerge as a viable partner to global industry. It is the preferred hotspot for organizations keen to outsource their R & D activities, software development work, customer contact centers or IT enabled business processes.

The top sectors attracting highest Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows into the country are:- electrical equipments, services sector (financial and non financial), telecommunications, transportation industry, fuels, chemicals, construction activities, drugs and pharmaceuticals, food processing, cement and gypsum products. Huge investment potential exists in the upcoming Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) sector and the real estate industry.

The Government of India is making all efforts to supplement all such advantages of the country. It has made infrastructure development as one of the key area of focus. Sound and effective connectivity via rail, road, ports and air, between the Indian States and with the rest of the world, is a necessity. Along with this, efficient power supply and excellent telecommunication network plays a very important role in the country's development.

Accordingly, the Government has undertaken several policy measures and incentives to attract investors into the country and provide a good quality of life to the people.

Thus, India is one of the few markets in the world which offers high prospects for growth and earning potential in practically all areas of business, particularly in tourism, information technology (IT) and agricultural sector.

There exists immense investment opportunities both at the national level and the State level.

100% FDI allowed in Defense

Western governments are rushing to visit Prime Minister Narendra Modi, drawn by the prospect of multi-billion-dollar deals as the Indian government prepares to open the nascent defence industry to foreign investment.

Senior politicians from France, the United States and Britain arrive in quick succession over the next 10 days as Prime Minister Modi prepares to accelerate the modernisation of the country's mostly Soviet-era weaponry.

First to arrive in New Delhi will be French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, who arrives on Monday, will meet PM Modi as well as Defence Minister Arun Jaitley who also holds the finance portfolio - and can therefore decide both whether to sign the deal and when to release the money.

Russia, for years India's top weapons supplier, pipped all three countries to the post, sending Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin to visit the new government in Delhi two weeks ago. Washington last year replaced Moscow as India's top defence supplier, according to IHS Jane's.

India spent some $6 billion (approximately Rs 36,000 crore) last year on weapons imports. It makes few of its own weapons, beyond ballistic missiles and assembly lines for foreign jets.

On Thursday, the government signalled it was in the mood for liberalisation by allowing manufacturers to build more defence components without licences, making it easier for domestic firms to partner foreigners.

At present, foreign companies can only invest 26 per cent in Indian defence projects without committing to technology transfer, which has put off many investors.

Lockheed Martin already has a 26 per cent investment in an Indian joint venture with Tata Advanced Systems that manufactures airframe components for the C-130J Super Hercules cargo lifter.

The note suggested allowing 100 per cent FDI in manufacturing of state-of-the art equipment, one of the officials said. It also recommends a cap of 49 per cent for investments which do not involve transfer technology and a 74 per cent ceiling in such cases where the foreign investor is ready to share technology know-how, the official added.

Opportunity to Invest in Power sector

To improve power transmission network across the country, Piyush Goyal, minister of state for power, coal and renewable energy, on Thursday approved nine new transmission projects worth over Rs. 12,500 crore.

These are high-capacity inter-state transmission lines that will benefit states such as Haryana, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra by enabling high capacity 765 kilovolt (kv) lines carrying up to 2,100 megawatt (MW) each apart from construction of new 765 kv and 400kv substations.

“The projects will help evacuate power from central generating stations such as 660 MW Sipat and 1600 MW Gadarwara power project of NTPC besides private sector generating stations such as the 1,320 MW Sasan ultra mega power project,” said a statement of the power ministry.

The new transmission projects will help in reducing congestion in Haryana region by strengthening the northern transmission system, power ministry officials said.

“These projects were mainly stuck in the approval process in the government since last several months, The approval to go ahead with implementation was granted immediately by the minister,” officials said, these projects will be developed through tariff-based competitive bidding process, which will invite participation from all bidders including the private sector.

Foreign Institutional Investors pours ₹32,000 crores in June 2014

Potential of Digital INDIA

The digital mode has reach and, due to its easy access and simplicity of use, it will be driver behind Corporate India.

It was for this reason that digitalization was considered the core of advertising. And there were many examples to prove it.

For example,....

When Motorola reentered India with their latest Moto-G, the didn't go retail. It went e-tail, instead of Flipkart, who put it on its site. And within a hour, 20000 units sold.

Another case- Hero motor corporation, which tied up with Google to create Google hangouts, using the power of internet to allow customer to interact live with Hritik Roshan during the auto show in Delhi.

Even L'OREAL, with the help of Google glass, allowed many of its customers to walk the famous Cannes Red Carpet with brand ambassador Sonam Kapoor - Virtually.

In just 8 years, India created a billions pieces of smart phone market. And The Future is in the wearable technology market and India has potential to reach 200 millions by 2018.

While 90% of households have just one TV, those same 90% have five or more cell phones, of which some may be smart phones. The future is in hand.

The generation is changing.

That's why, India is poised to be the No.3 global economy within a decade, even at 5% GDP growth rate.

It is Because the real power of the internet is to tell stories and tell them in an amazing way.

The New King of Indian Media

Mukesh Ambani interested to controlled power of media, because of it is a part of an overarching strategy to achieving leadership in the telecommunications.

Reliance industry took a decision to acquire control in Network 18 media and investment Ltd and its subsidiary, TV 18 Broadcast Ltd. This was done by the RIL to invest a sum of ₹40,000,000,000 in independent media trust.

With the money power, Reliance, India's second largest company was taking control of media.

Anil Ambani's Reliance Broadcast operates radio stations under the brand name 92.7 Big FM and television channels. Reliance media works operates a chain of multiplexes under the brand name Big Cinemas and is into television and film production.

Corporation of media would now sound death knell to all independent media houses in the India.

Salute to HCL's philosophy

Mr. Anant Gupta, who is CEO & President of HCL told that, "Philosophy of our is Employees first and Customer Second." As we are globalised more, we are moving into a new framework.

NRI Contributions

Somehow India tends to forget what the NRIs have contributed. They are the ones who came to India's help in 1990.

Even now, when the financial crisis hit India almost $65 billions has come in. In the last six months from NRIs deposits.

Green Signal by Environment Minister

New Environment minister Mr. Prakash Javdekar, is ensure fast clearance to infrastructure projects. He has promised to some big changes in policy.

He has already launched a new online system to bring transparency in application process for environmental clearance, online real time monitoring, time line to verification, stage wise approval.

The ministry is also working on streamlining the environmental clearance process, which is automatic approval for expansion of existing infrastructure projects like roads and rails. He also official said, "No approval will be required if the road and rail project is getting expanded in its right of the way"

The minister himself admits that projects worth ₹5,000,000,000,000 are awaiting environmental clearance.

The proposals may not go down with green activities who feels environment ministry was working at cross purpose by pushing economic agenda of the govt at the cost of sacrificing the country's ecological wealth.

Power Growth in India

Power companies are drawing up superb growth plans.

Tata Power has installed capacity of 8560MW, is looking at target of generating 18000MW by 2022.

Towards these objective, it looking overseas opportunity in south east Africa and SAARC, beside exploring business opportunities in African and the Middle East regions.

It had projects of nearly 860MW under execution. It is also looking getting additional 4000MW of management of distribution network.

Russia with ONGC

ONGC Videsh, the over subsidiary of ONGC, had inked a deal with Rosneft, one of Russia's largest oil and gas producer to jointly explore hydrocarbon in the offshore Arctic.

The company inked a MoU at St.Petersburg in the presence of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The MoU provide companies to cooperation in subsurface surveys, exploration, and appraisal activities and hydrocarbon production in Russia's offshore arctic.

Change in Pecking order

Change is constant. This is also applicable in investment. Investors loyalty switches very fast.

This is evident of this fact that TCS, which was the favourite of investors in 2013 when it added a market cap equivalent to three times of the total market cap of TATA STEEL in just one year, has lagging behind in 2014. There had complete change in sentiment of IT stocks.

TCS is India's most valuable company in 2014, which had market cap of 4.3 lakh crores.

So in next five years there could be another company which could emerge as the most valuable company in India. This give clear idea that investors must watch for events that could help them pick winners. Picking winner is not an easy task.

There is famous saying that its relatively easy to be NUMERO UNO but difficult to maintain it. This apply also in stock market.

Time to cash IN

Football is the next big sport in India. As people in India had overdose of cricket, so they looking for alternative team sports. I would like to tell you that India has great potential for football.

Thanks to satellite television and explosion in the number of television channels distributed, football is reaching in large numbers of Indian homes, especially urban Middle classes.

These facts haven't gone unnoticed by the world's leading clubs. In fact, many of the foreign entities have already planted their seeds in Indian football soil, trying to develop game. Premium league giants like Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United are the clubs that have set up coaching clinics or academies in India.

A issue with the game in India is the lake of money and infrastructure within the game. In 2010, AIFF signed a 15 years deal worth $140 millions with IMG and India's Reliance Industry to restructure, overhaul, improve, popularise and promote football on amateurs and professional level. The deal allowed Reliance to control the Indian national football team and all current and future professional leagues.

That could be the beginning of a new era for Indian football, which is a good chance of becoming a worthy rival to cricket.

The money had started to trickle in now in Indian football, and people have shown a lot of interest. It's time to CASH IN.
