Solvent Recovery systems from NexGen Enviro Systems

Solvent Recycling or Solvent Recovery uses a distillation unit. Distillation is the separation of solvents by difference of boiling points to produce reusable, purified solvent. Distillation systems generally include multiple stage, vapor liquid contacting equipment. If dissolved solids are also present, then the process may also include an evaporation step that vaporizes the volatile compounds, so the solids can be removed.

If you are running the chemical, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, fabrication or another process industry, chances are your manufacturing method requires solvents. No matter how carefully you work to reduce solvent use to the absolute minimum, you simply can not eliminate all the chemical byproducts of manufacturing. Without proper Solvent Recovery System we can’t able to reduce the solvents completely. If you are approaching some solvent waste disposal company it may leads to big expenditure. So you have to choose a better option to resolve this issue.

What is the option? Solvent Recovery systems from NexGen Enviro Systems. Our Solvent Recovery systems employ modern distillation technology to separate and recover valuable chemical products from waste mixtures. Using these systems, you can recover and reuse solvents from a wide range of processes. Even from composite mixtures with high variability from batch to batch. These Solvent Recovery systems are designed to help you recover more from your manufacturing process and waste less. So it is also called as Waste Recovery System.

sensex last week and next week

The short-term tendency is down since the recent peak of 15,940. The downward setback from 15,545 last week reinforces the negative short-term view as does the 10-day ROC’s decline in to the negative zone. We maintain a neutral medium-term view with the possibility of a move between 13,000 and 16,000 for a few more weeks.

Decline below 14,244 will make the Sensex head towards the medium-term support zone between 13,000 and 13,200. Long-term investors however need not worry unless there is a weekly close below 13,000.

The week ahead promises to be uneven. The Sensex can decline to 14,741 or 14,244 in the near-term. Short-term investors can hold their long positions as long the index holds above the second support. The short-term trend will turn positive if there is a close above 15,600 in the early part of the week. Upward target would be 16,002, 16,179 and 16,421

Sun pharma got US FDA Approval

Sun Pharma ltd has announced that US FDA has granted approvals for two ANDAs, generic version of Eloxatin, oxaliplatin for injection and generic version of Imitrex, sumatriptan succinate tablets.this is really the great milsstone for sun pharma and they have achieved it.From this approval they will be able to make good results in the coming quarters. Also announced that it will share 180days exclusivity for generic version of Eloxatin. Oxaliplatin injections have annual sales of approximately $2.3 billion in the US.
Oxaliplatin is an anticancer used in the treatment of colon and rectal cancer. Patent on the Eloxatin is set to expire in 2013.
We believe the news of 180 share exclusivity on Eloxatin is a positive surprise and could lead to 3-4% upside to our Target Price. However, at Rs1,206 the stock is trading at 19.4x FY2010E and 16.3x FY2011E earnings.
We recommend a NEUTRAL on the stock as we believe the US FDA issue is unlikely to get resolved soon and will impact the company’s US business (lower sales of distributed products and further inventory write downs) and would continue to be an overhang on the stock.

• The net interest income came in at Rs467.5 cr, up by 23.7% yoy and 9.2% quarter on quarter (qoq) on account of healthy 21.6% year-on-year (y-o-y) advances growth coupled with stable net interest margin at 2.26% (reported), up marginally by 7 basis points qoq.
• The non-interest income increased by staggering 128% yoy to Rs359.3 cr mainly driven by strong treasury gains during the quarter. The bank recorded treasury gains of Rs185.4 cr in the quarter, a stupendous 46 times higher than that of Rs4.5 cr in Q1FY2009. Furthermore, leveraging of strong technology platform and better pricing of banking services resulted in a robust 38.3% y-o-y growth in core fee income.
• The operating expenses grew by 19.1% yoy and 3.6% qoq to Rs255.6 cr led by 23.4% yoy and 11.6% sequential increase in staff expenses. Meanwhile the other operating expenses grew by 15.8% yoy.
• The provision expenses grew sharply by 53.7% yoy to Rs155 cr as the bank utilized high treasury gains to shore up its loan loss coverage. The non-performing asset (NPA) provisions increased sharply by 71.4% yoy to Rs60 cr during the quarter. Meanwhile the other provisions spiked up to Rs66 cr from Rs5 cr in Q1FY2009, as the bank made provisions worth Rs53 cr towards wage revision and Rs13.5 cr towards sacrifice in restructured accounts.

In tandem the GNPA in percentage terms (% GNPA) inched up to 1.29% in the quarter versus 1.14% in Q4FY2009, while the percentage of net non-performing assets (% NNPA) stood at 0.32% in the quarter under review vis-à-vis 0.29% in the previous quarter.

GOLD STATUS FROM COUNCIL

The Gold rate was not at all stable as we knows,Its keep on fluctuating for some days and its increasing only.Spot gold failed to follow-through above $960, retreating to test support at $925. The long tail, however, indicates buying support. Failure of this level would test $900, while recovery above $950 would indicate another test of $1000 — confirmed if price rises above $960. In the long term, breakout above $1000 would signal a primary advance with a target of $1100*, while failure of support at $900 would test primary support at the April low of $865.
* Target calculation: 1000 + ( 1000 - 900 ) = 1100
The Gold Miners Index [GDX] respected resistance at $40 — a bearish sign for gold. Twiggs Money Flow (13-Week) bearish divergence indicates strong selling pressure. Downward breakout from the trend channel (below $35) or TMF reversal below zero would warn of a primary trend change and a similar outcome for the yellow metal.

Already Airline industries lost their profit in the last few quarters and demand for air travel could decline further in spite of signs of a more stable global economy, and prediction of a recovery this year look dull, Air industry executives said at a meeting of the world's airlines on June 7th 2009.

India's IT growth

The domestic(India) market seems to be coming to the aid of the IT-BPO industry, because it is projected to grow 15-18%, even as the export market is likely to grow a mere 4-7%. Damn sure that the export market is about thrice as much as the domestic market.
The National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom) on Wednesday(July 29) said that the industry’s exports are expected to grow to between $48 billion and $50 billion, compared with $46.3 billion last year. Last year(2008-2009), the industry’s export revenues grew 16.3 %, says Nasscom, but calculations show only a 14.6% growth, from $40.4 billion in the previous year.
The root of the discrepancy lies in Satyam's Computer accounts, which are yet to be restated.Disclosing Nasscom’s projections at the body’s annual meet here, the Chairman, Mr Pramod Bhasin, stressed that even a 4-7 per cent growth is good, given the economic environment. He noted that core markets such as North America and verticals such as the banking and financial services industry “have started to stabilise”.
The domestic IT-BPO market is projected to grow at a higher rate — between 15 and 18% — to reach around Rs 67,000 crore, compared with Rs 57,000 cr last year. In dollar terms, domestic revenues were $12.5 billion in FY-09, Nasscom said. Fiscal 2009 figures grew 21 per cent over Rs 47,000 crore in fiscal 2008. The domestic market witnessed enhanced focus in the year ended March 2009 with “large transformational deals in telecom and e-governance, with contract value of outsourcing deals growing by 32%, Mr Bhasin told newspersons after releasing the Nasscom outlook for the industry in 2009-10.

India's export is growing sharply

After two consecutive years of growth, India’s exports contracted sharply to register a growth of 3.4 % in dollar terms in 2008-09. The decline was due to the global slowdown and the financial meltdown(RECESSION) in the second half of 2008 that hit overseas demand substantially. The Government announced export-friendly measures in two stimulus packages in Dec 2008 and Jan 2009, followed by one in the Interim Budget in February and another in the full-fledged Budget.Taking over as the Commerce Secretary in June, Dr Rahul Khullar, who worked in different capacities in the same Ministry before he became the Disinvestment Secretary for a brief period, spoke to Business Line about the various issues impinging on the export sector and the forthcoming 5 year Foreign Trade Policy at this critical juncture.

India's exports declined

for the third time in March to $11.5b, its 6th continuous fall, and analysts said the global economic slowdown would further reduce overseas sales by Indian companies in the months ahead.

Imports fell by 34% to $15.56b in March from a year earlier due to a slowdown in Asia's third largest economy and average global crude oil prices , narrowing the trade deficit to $4b in March from $6.32b a year ago.

Institute of Economic Growth economist N.R. Bhanumurthy
"The impact of global economic crisis on India is going to be higher in 2009/10 compared to 2008/09.
"After achieving a robust growth for four consecutive years, India's export growth started showing negative trend since October 2008 and is expected to continue for the rest of the year due to recessionary situation in most industrialised nations," he said.

Raw sugar imports not needed

A move by sugar mills in Maharashtra, India’s biggest producer, to import at least
1million tonnes (mt) of raw sugar to tide over domestic demand has sharply
divided the industry.India has sufficient stocks of sugar and does not need to
import the sweetener either in raw or white form this crop year, a leading body
said on Friday.

"There is more than sufficient availability of sugar, far beyond the domestic
requirement with sizeable carry forward stocks to the next year," Indian Sugar
Mills Association president Ranjit Puri said in a statement.

Inflation continuously falling down

Inflation came down to 8% this is 7-month low on the back of softening

food prices,strengthening the case for further interest rate cuts to shore
up the slowing economy. The wholesale price index (WPI) for the week
ended November 29 dropped to 8% from 8.4% in the previous week.
Prices of food related items came down during the week following a 1.9%
fall in the prices of fruits and vegetables. The prices of fuel and
manufactured items remained unchanged over the week.

Economists expect inflation, which peaked at 12.91% in August, to fall at
a faster pace following the recent cut in fuel prices and a 4% cut in excise
duty, so inflation may come down further it seems.

BHEL plans to invest Rs 10,000 cr

SEBI's new entry rules for MF industry

Market regulator Sebi will look at increasing the net-worth needed for
a firm to operate as an asset management company.The heavy
redemption pressure seen by the mutual fund industry during the
October crisis has put the market regulator on guard. We have learnt
that Sebi may go in for an upward revision in net-worth requirement
for asset management companies. Sources say the requirement may
be hiked to Rs 50 crore from Rs 10 crore.
The Sebi MF Panel also wants money-market mutual fund schemes to
be valued realistically and wants the valuation based on the day's net-
asset value (NAV) instead of the historical NAV.

The Sebi MF panel also discussed a few other issues like sectoral caps
for mutual funds — it has been noted that some MFs have invested as
much as much as 74%–97% in the banking financial services industry .

They have discussed one more thing the issue of the mismatch between
indicative yield and actual yield of fixed maturity plans (FMPs) was also
discussed. The panel also felt that there is a need for transparency in the
transaction of MFs. It feels the distribution commission which is deducted
from total investments from MFs should be taken as a separate cheque from
the investors.
