WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US Very smart and up to the hour presentation of news. P L Mohanta ONLY SOURCE TO REACH THE DECISION MAKERS ADVERTISE ON-WHISPERSINTHECORRIDORS.COM November is as uncertain and unsure politically like the months before.
The configuration of stars continue to indicate that the politics in
the sub-continent shall still not return on stable tracks.The nuke deal
which has already caused uncertainty over the Union Government may enter
a decisive turn in the second fortnight of this month. Mars will take
a retrograde path from 11th Nov and it is aspecting Venus which will
be in Virgo. It indicates a difficult time for women politicians particularly.
The UPA presided over by a lady will thus have to bear the brunt of
the retrograde Mars. Likewise in Pakistan Benazir, already under terrorist
attacks, may find goings still more difficult. Who is Mr.Gupta? Who is Mr.Gupta? This question has been doing rounds not only in corridors of power but even in business & corporate circles. As the grapevine has it, he is the key player in booming of the Sensex. Only a powerful businessman knows Mr Gupta.

FORUM The Incredible India Campaign to backfire The Incredible India Campaign is doing well, but we have oversold ourselves.
In the commercial world promotion and development and availability of
the product should go hand in hand. We lack behind in infrastructure,
air seat capacity and the country is short of 1,50, 000 hotel rooms.
It is like a shoe company advertising a SALE but nothing is available
in the outlets. Such a promotion can always backfire. Why delay in appointment if CCITs I often wonder as to why the almighty takes so much time to appoint
CCITs, when it is known well in advance the arousal of vacancies in
various charges. May be the chota minister wants to have his own henchman
at the helm of affairs-any one who knows the it department would consider
it a preposterous idea. Seniority should be respected unless circumstances
warrant-otherwise.

US EXIM REFINANCES AIR INDIA 777S US Exim will also be refinancing in the first week of November one more aircraft which has already been bought by Air India and 10 B737-800 aircraft acquired by Air India Express. The refinancing would therefore substantially complete NACIL's first phase of financing of aircraft to be delivered before December 31, 2007 to the tune of US$ 1.4 billion. NACIL will use the proceeds of refinancing to repay the short term loans from institutions/banks at spreads above libor. With the decline in libor and NACIL having negotiated attractive rates for the Exim component, which is backed up by a GOI guarantee, the over all cost of financing is likely to be much lower as compared to the conventional financing. NACIL has also received offers for the second tranche of financing for Boeing deliveries to commence from early 2008 onwards which is presently being evaluated. NACIL is also evaluating other avenues of financing, the acquisition of aircraft which include inter alia sale and lease back options, etc.It may be stated that the US Exim had guaranteed 85% of the loan component which had been raised at sub libor rates (London Inter Bank Offered Rates). The remaining 15% was raised from Commercial Banks. The Exim guarantee loan is being financed by M/s ABN Amro Bank and commercial loan by ICICI Bank and State Bank of India.The Exim loan is repayable over 12 years whereas the commercial loan is repayable over five years after a one year moratorium period. |
