NPAs to decline as economy recovers.
Overweight
Oil & Gas The oil companies are expected to benefit from the deregulation
of oil prices; positive on upstream oil companies and refineries.
Cement Despite large capacity build-up, no sustained pressure seen
on sales realization as demand growth is equally strong.
Higher capacity of the existing players will help post strong
profit growth and improved ROE
Consumer Goods Sector currently enjoys rich valuations and is unlikely to see
any P/E upgrades or earnings upgrades in the medium term.
IT Upside capped in IT stocks due to the depreciating Euro and

15. Nifty Linked Debentures
Investment Rationale
• Our in house view on Nifty is bullish, based on our assessment that the domestic economy will grow at near
double digit levels led by strong growth in industry and services and resurgence in agriculture which will help drive
corporate earnings growth at a CAGR of 18% to 20% over the next three years.
• The product provides 110% participation on the Nifty and also provides 100% capital protection; thereby protecting
the downside completely and providing returns higher than actual Nifty performance.
• In case of any sharp up swings, the product ensures a coupon of 14%.
• There is no end of period risk.
Risks
• Credit risk of the issuer. However, the debentures will be secured partly by way of creation of charge on
immovable property and partly by way of hypothecation / floating charge on the current assets and / or receivables
and / or other movable tangible and / or intangible assets and/or any other asset of the issuer and / or its affiliates
subject to the satisfaction of the debenture trustee.
Taxation
• As it is a listed debenture, it will be taxed at 10.3%
