KKR & Co. is seeking to lend in partnership with Indian banks and buy more local non-bank financiers as a funding squeeze in the world’s fastest-growing economy creates opportunities for US private equity giants. “We are in dialogue with banks to see if there are creative ways to partner" to lend to small-to-midsized companies, B V Krishnan, chief executive officer of KKR India Financial Services, said in an interview in Mumbai. KKR is also looking for acquisitions of Indian non-bank lenders, according to Krishnan, in line with what people with knowledge of the matter said in October. Global investors from Oaktree Capital Group LLC to Varde Partners have mulled lending to companies in India, where the lack of a deep bond market and a bad-debt crisis have constrained borrowers’ attempts to access longer-term funds. Financing for smaller firms has dried up since a string of shock defaults by shadow lender Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Ltd (IL&FS

Beleaguered airline Jet Airways has grounded a "significant number" of aircraft, a senior Civil Aviation Ministry official said here on Wednesday. According to the official, the airline did inform the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) about the grounding and the regulator is monitoring the situation. Industry insiders said as many as eight aircraft have been grounded due to non-payment to lessors and the number might increase in the coming days. Earlier, the airline had informed the stock exchanges it has grounded five aircraft. The grounding of an additional three planes has impacted around 15 flights. Some reports suggested airline may already have grounded more than 20 aircraft due to the shortage of spare parts and an inability to pay the lessors. This would mean a significant portion of the airlines' fleet of 123 aircraft remains grounded. But official sources did not confirm these figures. The airline is also disbursing monthly sal

There’s a wrinkle in plans made by Asia's richest man and Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) chairman Mukesh Ambani to take on Jeff Bezos' Amazon.com Inc. and Walmart Inc.'s Flipkart on his home turf of India: his telecom and retail businesses—Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd and Reliance Retail, respectively—can’t share data. Ambani has outlined how he will marry the might of his group’s 9,900-plus retail stores and 280-million strong telecom user base to bolster his Reliance e-commerce venture. A senior Reliance executive says that any data sharing on customers between the two could run into a legal wall. “They are different companies so there are data privacy rules," Ashwin Khasgiwala, Reliance Retail Ltd’s chief financial officer said at a conference in Mumbai on Tuesday. “They’re different platforms," he said while declining to elaborate on how the group plans to overcome it. While Reliance Industries' brick-and-mortar retail businesses are housed

Gold prices on Thursday held near two-week lows touched in the previous session, as the dollar recouped losses after cautious comments from U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer dented investors' hopes for a closure to the tariff war with China. As of 0340 GMT, spot gold and the U.S. gold futures were down 0.1 percent at $1,318.50 and $1,320.10 per ounce respectively. The safe-haven metal slipped to its lowest since Feb. 15 at $1,316.43 in the previous session and dropped for the first time in five months. Lighthizer told a Congressional hearing it is too early to predict the outcome of ongoing trade talks with Beijing and the United States will need to maintain the threat of tariffs on Chinese goods for years even if the two sides strike a deal. "There is some uncertainty about the trade deal and some of the safe-haven (demand) has gone to the U.S. dollar. That has taken a bit of a bid from gold," said John Sharma, economist, National Australian Bank.

Where has all the money poured by the government into its weakest banks gone? If the stock market’s collective wisdom is used as a fair measure, it looks like the majority of it is being seen as money down the drain. The government has infused about 1.9 trillion into banks it owns in the past two years, of which nearly two-thirds have gone to the weakest lot that is under quarantine. Public sector banks (PSU banks) under the Reserve Bank of India’s Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) framework have received about 1.25 trillion in recapitalization, while their healthier peers got far less. The PCA framework is a scheme wherein RBI quarantines weak banks so that their balance sheets can heal. But since April 2017, the combined market capitalization of the 11 PCA banks has increased by only 28,600 crores. Of course, quite a few of these banks are now out of the PCA framework, thanks to the capital infusion, but the above chart refers to all 11 banks. While stocks of some

It looks like the pressure on two-wheeler companies is mounting. February data on two-wheeler retail sales paint a weak picture for March quarter sales, analysts at some leading brokerage firms have pointed out. Even though dispatches from companies to dealers were lowered, inventory continues to pile up. Discounts and incentives are failing to power sales. Inventory levels continue to remain high at 40-45 days, with no respite seen in the near term. Normally, with January and February being the season for weddings, demand for two-wheelers tends to rev up. For instance, sales grew 25-35% year-on-year in these two months. The slowdown in two-wheeler sales was triggered by a hike in insurance premium about six months ago. The payment schedule for mandatory third-party insurance was changed from an annual fee to a five-year term, payable upfront at the time of purchase of a new bike. This led to a sharp increase in the purchase price of motorcycles. Meanwhile, Bajaj Auto Ltd’s ag

Trump spoke in the chamber of the House of Representatives facing political discord over his demands that Democrats end their opposition to funding for a border wall he says is needed to stem illegal immigration and smuggled drugs. Gold prices held steady on Wednesday after US President Donald Trump, in his State of the Union speech, vowed to build a border wall, but gave little clarity over developments in the ongoing trade discussions with China. Spot gold was steady at $1,314 per ounce at 0431 GMT. US gold futures were also steady at $1,318 an ounce. Trump spoke in the chamber of the House of Representatives facing political discord over his demands that Democrats end their opposition to funding for a border wall he says is needed to stem illegal immigration and smuggled drugs. "There is a likely risk of another government shutdown with President Trump still sticking to the rhetoric of erecting a border wall," said Hitesh Jain, vice president, Yes Sec

He's moving on from an episode that roiled India's tech arena It’s been less than three months since Binny Bansal’s shock ouster from Flipkart, the e-commerce giant he founded over a decade ago. The entrepreneur once celebrated for jumpstarting India’s internet retail industry is now dedicating himself to helping other founders get their startups off the ground. Bansal, who departed after Flipkart’s new owner Walmart Inc. investigated alleged personal misconduct, is now focused on xto10x Technologies, a startup he co-founded with former colleague Saikiran Krishnamurthy. It’s aimed at helping entrepreneurs navigate the often-tricky Indian startup scene. Bansal’s already put together an early team, set up an office at a co-working space and even snagged several “leading” startup customers. “I’m looking forward to the next chapter of my life,” the 37-year-old said in his first interview since the episode. “Person to person, I can help 10 startups but the ambition is

The year 2018-19 has indicated that below average and erratic distribution of monsoon rains over the country have affected the production of Pulses and Oilseeds and it is expected to decline marginally by 2.68 percent and 5.36 percent. Pulses production is projected to drop marginally to 9.10 million MT (metric tonne) from 9.35 million MT last year which is around 2.68 percent down due to the fall in Urad output by 10.11 per cent, mainly due to the shift in acreage towards Soybean in some parts of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. The total Oilseeds production is estimated to be 19.87 million MT, which is 5.36 per cent declined than the last year’s production 21.00 million MT, mainly due to the falling Groundnut (22.11 percent), Castor (27.16 percent) and Sesame (3.21 percent) production in major producing states.
