Cabinet not may energise power companies
Shares of power generators and distributors such as NTPC, Power Grid Corportation, SJVN, Tata Power, NLC India, Adani Power, CESC, Orient Green Power, Indo Wind Energy, and others may remain in focus following the Cabinet decision easing borrowing norms for States to help them repay dues to power generators and spur cashflows in an industry struck by the pandemic.
Power Finance Corp and REC Ltd will extend loans to electricity retailers beyond the threshold limit for working capital needs, Prakash Javadekar, Information and Broadcasting Minister, said at a media briefing after the Cabinet met.
The borrowing limit for working capital by state distribution companies was capped at 25 per cent of their prior year’s revenue, according to rules set by a 2015 debt recast plan. The threshold has come in the way of some states benefiting from a Rs 90,000 crore loan programme for power retailers.
Market participants’ focus will also be on PFC and REC.
Price hike may not hit sugar stocks
The Cabinet on Wednesday approved raising the price that sugar mills must pay for cane in the next season beginning October 1, to Rs 285/100 kg, up from Rs 275 a year earlier.

Sugar stocks such as Balrampur Chini, Bajaj Hindusthan, EID Parry, Dhampur Sugars, Bannari Amman Sugars, Ravalgaon, Mawana Sugar and Dwarikesh Sugar will remain in focus.
