Brokerage house Merrill Lynch has said that state-owned banks, especially Punjab National Bank  , Indian Bank  and Oriental Bank of Commerce   could be hit the hardest by the revised loan recast norms proposed by the RBI. The brokerage is of the view that private banks would be least hit.

The biggest impact may be for PNB, Indian and OBC having around 10% of loans in restructured category; in contrast, SBI followed by Union Bank may be less impacted. While, the impact on earnings may be somewhat less as some of these loans could get upgraded, we est. at least 3-8% of earnings hit for the banks through FY14-15. Banks with higher provision cover (like BOB, Union) may have some cushion to offset the earnings hit. Private banks would be least impacted, with impact estimated at less than 1/2%

On Domestic Front -

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its Third Quarter Review of Monetary Policy for 2012-13 has cut the repo rate by 25 basis points (100bps is equal to 1%) from 8% to 7.75%. The repo rate is the rate at which the RBI lends to commercial banks. The central bank has decided to reduce the cash reserve ratio (CRR) of scheduled banks by 25bps from 4.25% to 4% of their net demand and time liabilities (NDTL) from the fortnight beginning February 9, 2013. This reduction in the CRR will inject primary liquidity of around Rs. 180 billion into the banking system. The CRR, which now works out to 4%, is the lowest since December 1974. The RBI has lowered the growth projection for the current fiscal to 5.5% from 5.6% projected earlier. The central bank has also cut the growth forecast for the next financial year to 6.5% from 6.6%. After 9 months, RBI has finally announced a Repo cut which could be the beginning of further cuts this year.

=======================  NIFTY OUTLOOK  ========================

Now immediate Nifty range is 5900 – 6200 but on downside could be more on profit booking at higher levels as its till date is liquidity driven rally.

Nifty is in range of 5900-5960-6040-6150-6190 for current series.

Resistance – 6040 – 6081 – 6109 and Support – 5970 – 5941 - 5900

Here I would like to highlight - Nifty is forming bearish patterns and 5941 is the level to watch carefully and today or sooner Nifty can test this level and breakdown of this level can give strength to bears for drag the Nifty.

Opening - seems flat and then one can range bound session.

Stocks that can show good strength in coming days –

GMR –

Availability of coal and gas to fire extant and upcoming power projects, (2) monetization of Mumbai airport’s real estate and (3) sale of some of its assets can help to meaningfully reduce leverage (Rs 15300 crore debt against Rs 13300 crore of equity in 1HFY13).

Increased availability of gas could help to improve plant load factors (PLFs), revenues and profits of its power segment, (2) monetization of real estate at the Delhi airport and (3) entry of investment partners (or buyers) of some of the operating road projects can help GVK to reduce its consolidated debt burden of Rs 15500 crore (1HFY13) and increase its equity valuation

Adani Power –

A small increase in A tariff hike of Rs 0.50/kWh to offset costs in the Mundra power plant could add Rs 37 to current estimated fair value of Rs 111. We do not think a review of the PPA may be feasible. Nonetheless, reduction in fuel costs by around 20% through higher blending of low-cost coal could accrue Rs 26 to our fair valuation.average tariffs (Rs 0.25/kWh) across its projects can add 140% to our current estimated fair value of Rs 33. (2) pooling of coal prices can reduce costs by Rs 400 crore (and increase our estimated fair value to Rs 53) and (3) ramp up of Bunyu coal mine production to 10 mtpa can double the fair value estimate of APL.

Lanco Infratech –

A sustainable merchant tariff of Rs 4.0/kWh could add Rs 6 to our fair value estimate of Rs 12. In addition, allowing cost-plus tariff at Amarkantak could add Rs 3 to fair value estimates; utilization of 90% at Kondapalli could add Rs 2 to our fair value estimate.
