Tata Motors hikes Nano prices by 3-4%


Tata Motors Ltd. announced that it has increased the price of the Nano by 3-4% for those customers who had continued to retain their bookings with the company.

Accordingly, the company has begun intimating retainee-customers that their cars are coming up for delivery. This is the final step, before the company opens up sales of the Nano, Tata Motors said.

The failure of the key indices to head higher after making new intermediate highs this week shows that the market is a little jittery. The disappointing IIP report and stubbornly high inflation have only added to the confusion. Global cues too are not particularly rosy amid persistent worries over the state of affairs in the US, EU and China. The only positive development is the improvement in the euro versus the dollar. So, the near-term trend may continue to be driven partly by earnings and partly by external factors.

Industrial output unexpectedly falls in May


India's industrial output surprisingly declined in May when compared to growth in April, as the Mining and Manufacturing sub-segments saw a sharp deceleration in their respective outputs even as the Electricity sub-segment witnessed a steady expansion over the previous month. The industrial output, as measured by the index of industrial production (IIP), stood at a surprisingly low 11.5% in May as against consensus estimates of 15-16%. Also, the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) today revised down April's IIP growth reading from 17.6% to 16.5%.

Rupee joins elite club...gets its own symbol



The Union Cabinet approved the final design for the unique symbol of the Indian rupee. It has given its approval to the numerical representation for the Indian rupee, which is a mix of the Devanagri 'Ra' and Roman 'R'. This symbol will be used by all individuals/entities within and outside India after its incorporation in `Unicode Standard’, ‘ISO/IEC 10646’ and ‘IS 13194’. The symbol will standardize the expression for Indian Rupee in different languages, both within and outside the country. It would better distinguish the Indian currency from those countries whose currencies are also designated as Rupee or Rupiah, such as Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
