Weekly Market Outlook

It turned out to be a fabulous week of trade for Indian equity benchmarks with frontline gauges garnering weekly gains of over two percentage points and settling above their record 79,000 (Sensex) and 24,000 (Nifty) levels.

During the week, traders were seen taking bullish bets in fundamentally strong stocks in hopes of continuity in reforms and focus on the 100-day agenda of the NDA government. Sentiments are also buoyed by the expected revival in the technology space and consolidation in the cement industry.

Markets started the week slightly in the green as traders found some support after the GST Council at its 53rd meeting introduced sweeping reforms with an aim to simplify tax compliance and ease the burden on taxpayers.

Some support also came after S&P Global Market Intelligence said that the new government will likely focus on job creation and addressing farmers’ concerns in its first 100 days.

Markets extended their northward journey and looked resilient during most part of the week taking support from RBI’s statement that India recorded a current account surplus of $5.7 billion or 0.6 per cent of GDP in the March quarter. In the year-ago period, the current account deficit stood at $1.3 billion or 0.2 per cent of GDP.

Sentiments also remained upbeat with CRISIL Ratings’ report stating that capital goods makers are likely to see revenue rise 9-11% in fiscal 2025, led by continued significant outlays towards railways (including metros), defence, conventional and renewable sectors.

This compares with an expected around 13% growth in fiscal 2024. Optimism continued on Dalal Street taking support from RBI’s data showing that India’s financial position with the rest of the world improved over the year. The country increased its overseas assets more than it increased its foreign liabilities, largely due to a rise in reserve assets.

Key gauges continued to hit record levels one after other as traders took support with the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) stating that India’s economy is set to achieve significant growth, with projections nearing 7.5% for the current fiscal year (FY25).

Some solace also came with CRISIL’s report stating that India’s current account surplus in the fourth quarter of the 2023-24 fiscal was aided by the narrowing of the merchandise trade deficit, an increase in remittances and a surplus in services trade. The country’s current account recorded a surplus of $5.7 billion, which is 0.6 per cent of the GDP, in the fourth quarter of the last financial year.

However, domestic markets ended the week off record highs as traders booked minor gains on the final day of the week as participants turned wary of the high valuations. Traders also took note of a report that Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) at its board meeting approved new criteria for a single stock F&O entry and exit, voluntary delisting norms and flexibility on the same, norms on finfluencers, measures to ease of doing business for REITs and InvITs and many other decisions.

Despite profit booking in the last session, Sensex and Nifty managed to settle above their psychological levels of 79,000 and 24,000, respectively.

FII transactions during the week

Sensex and Nifty Surge After RBI’s Record Dividend Boost

Market Soars on RBI’s Unprecedented Surplus Transfer

The Indian stock market experienced a significant rally on Thursday, May 23, following the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) announcement of its largest-ever surplus transfer to the government. The Sensex jumped over 1,000 points, surpassing the 75,000 mark, while the Nifty reached a record high of 22,959.70, marking an impressive milestone.

Sensex and Nifty Break Records

During the trading session, the BSE Sensex hit an intraday peak of 75,407.39, and the Nifty 50 crossed the 22,900 level for the first time, reflecting robust investor sentiment. This remarkable surge came on the heels of the RBI board’s decision to approve a surplus transfer of Rs 2.11 lakh crore to the government for the fiscal year 2023–24.

RBI’s Record Dividend: A Game Changer

The RBI’s unprecedented dividend of Rs 2.11 lakh crore far exceeded both the budgeted amount of Rs 1.02 lakh crore and market expectations of Rs 1–1.1 lakh crore. This substantial payout is anticipated to help narrow the government’s fiscal deficit for FY2025 by 0.2–0.4 per cent of GDP, according to market experts.

Santosh Meena, Head of Research at Swastika Investmart Ltd, noted, “The Nifty index has surged to a record high following the RBI’s announcement. This significant macroeconomic development positively impacts the market, influencing both the fiscal deficit and bond yields.”

Implications for Fiscal Policy and Economic Growth

Gaura Sen Gupta, Chief Economist at IDFC First Bank, highlighted that the higher dividend represents additional fiscal revenue equivalent to 0.4 per cent of GDP. This boost could mitigate potential shortfalls in disinvestment receipts and slower tax collection growth than initially budgeted, potentially allowing the FY25 fiscal deficit to undershoot the Budget Estimate by 0.2 per cent of GDP.

A report from Kotak Institutional Equities suggested that the surplus transfer provides the government with greater flexibility in adhering to its fiscal consolidation path. There is now room to adjust budgeted receipts and expenditures, potentially increasing allocations for infrastructure projects in roads, railways, and defense.

“The government might also consider reducing personal income taxes to stimulate consumption, particularly for lower-income groups. However, we anticipate a focus on higher capital expenditure and fiscal consolidation rather than tax cuts,” the report added.

Top Gainers in the Market

Among the top performers on the NSE were Adani Enterprises, Axis Bank, Larsen and Toubro Ltd, Adani Ports, and Mahindra & Mahindra. These companies saw significant gains, contributing to the overall positive market sentiment.

Conclusion

The RBI’s record dividend transfer has injected a wave of optimism into the Indian stock market, driving the Sensex and Nifty to new heights. This development not only boosts investor confidence but also provides the government with additional fiscal space to navigate economic challenges and pursue growth-oriented policies.

NEW DELHI (IDN) – On February 6, protesters blocked roads at an estimated 10,000 spots across India as part of the ongoing movement against the new farm laws enacted by the national government last year. For over two months, the most populous democracy in the world has witnessed what is being called one of the biggest protests in human history.

Hundreds of thousands of farmers have been rallying against three new laws that have thrown open the agriculture sector to private players. Protesters feel the legislation will allow a corporate takeover of crop production and trading, which would eventually impact their earnings and land ownership.

The movement has overcome regional, religious, gender and ideological differences to build pressure. Leftist farm unions, religious organisations and traditional caste-based brotherhoods called khaps, which make pronouncements on social issues, are working in tandem through resolute sit-ins and an aggressive boycott of politicians.

India’s right-wing government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the Bharatiya Janata Party, or BJP, pushed the laws through the parliament in September 2020, despite lacking a majority in the upper house and agriculture being in the jurisdiction of state governments. The protest is a response to the lack of respect for parliamentary democracy and federalism, but its main focus is the pervasive corporate influence on governance.

After limits on corporate contributions were removed and allowed to be made anonymously, 8.2 billion dollars was spent on Indian parliamentary elections in 2019, which exceeded how much was spent on the U.S. election in 2016 by 26 per cent. Most of this money came from corporations and the BJP was the primary recipient.

Farm crisis is the fuel

Farmers are a large electoral block in India, with half the population being engaged in agriculture. No political party can afford to offend them publicly even though policymakers have done little to increase farm incomes and address their indebtedness. Around 300,000 farmers died by suicide between 1995 and 2013, mostly due to financial stress. In 2019, another 10,281 farmers took their lives.

Indian farms are mostly family-owned, and the land is a source of subsistence for millions. Around 86 per cent of farmers, however, till less than five acres while the other 14 per cent, mostly upper castes, own over half of the country’s 388 million acres of arable land.

Farmers in a few north Indian states were able to consolidate their holdings through increased incomes with the introduction of irrigation, modern seeds, fertilisers, machines, market infrastructure and guaranteed price support from the government during the Green Revolution in the 1960s.

But rising input costs and climate crisis have adversely impacted the profits there as well. In Punjab, the most agriculturally-developed state, for instance, the input costs of electric motors, labour, fertiliser and fuel rose by 100 to 290 per cent from 2000 to 2013, but the support price of wheat and rice rose by only 122 to 137 per cent in the same period, according to a government report. Heavy use of chemicals, mono-cropping and farm mechanisation have damaged the soil, affecting productivity and forcing farmers into debt.

Strength and strategy

Punjab saw widespread protests as soon as the laws were enacted. Farmers occupied railway tracks and toll plazas on major roads besides corporate-owned thermal plants, gas stations and shopping malls. Scores of subscribers left Jio, the telecom service owned by the top Indian businessman perceived to be close to Prime Minister Modi.

Farm unions also held regular sit-ins in front of the houses of prominent political leaders forcing an important regional party to leave the national government alliance. Several state leaders of the ruling party resigned from their posts as well. Similar scenes played out in the neighbouring state of Haryana, where leaders were publicly shamed and the helicopter of the elected head of the government was prevented from landing for a public meeting after farmers dug up the helipad area.

In November, thousands of farmers drove their tractor trolleys towards the national capital as they played protest songs by celebrity singers. Stocked with rations, clothing, water and wood for months, they braved tear gas shells and water cannons used by the police along the way. Powerful tractors pushed heavy transport vehicles, concrete slabs and barbed wires that the administration had placed en route out of their way.

Open libraries and medical camps were set up and volunteers offered their skills, ranging from tailoring to tutoring children. Besides speeches by the farm leaders, cultural performances, film screenings and wrestling bouts became a regular feature. More farmers poured in with each passing day.

“These occupations are not just a reaction of wronged citizens who have set out to reform the Indian parliament or assert dissent. Rather, they form an important stage in a still-unfolding narrative of militant anti-capitalist struggle,” wrote Aditya Bahl, a doctoral scholar at the John Hopkins University who is archiving the peasants’ revolts that took place in Punjab in the 1960s and ’70s.

The Indian Supreme Court suspended the implementation of laws and formed a four-member expert committee on Jan. 13 to look into the issue. Farmers have, however, refused to meet the committee members, alleging that many of them have already written or spoken in favour of the laws.

The protests are not only targeting domestic companies and political figures. Farmers have also burnt effigies of Uncle Sam, the World Trade Organisation and IMF, signifying the influence of global trade over domestic agricultural policies. Developed countries have been pressuring India for last three decades to open up its agriculture sector to multinational players by slashing subsidies and reducing public procurement and distribution of food grains to the poor.

Protesters are also seeking a legal right to sell their produce at a guaranteed price. The Indian government usually declares a minimum support price on various crops based on the costs of their production, but only a fraction of the produce is procured at that rate. In the absence of government procurement facilities in their areas, most farmers have to settle for a lower price offered by private traders. A law would make it mandatory for private players to buy the produce at a declared price.

“If Indian farmers are able to get the law on guaranteed price passed through their current agitation, they will become a role model for farmers across the world living under heavy debts,” Sharma continued. “India should put its foot down at the WTO and create much-needed disruption in the world food trade policy for the benefit of the global agriculture sector.”

The movement grows

The BJP-led national government has faced numerous protests over the last six years of its rule..... The country has dropped 26 places in the Democracy Index’s global ranking since 2014 due to “erosion of civil liberties.”

This is the first time peasants have been galvanised in such large numbers against the government. The government has already held 11 rounds of negotiations with farmers’ representatives and offered to suspend the laws for one and a half years on Jan. 20. But farmers are not budging from their demand of the complete repeal of the laws and legal cover for the selling of their crops at a guaranteed price.

On January 26, which marks India’s Republic Day, 19 out of 28 states witnessed protests against the farm laws.

In Delhi, however, a plan to organise a farmers’ tractor march parallel to the official Republic Day function, went awry. A group of protesters clashed with police at multiple spots and stormed the iconic Red Fort, a traditional seat of power for the Mughals, where the colonial British and independent India’s prime ministers have also raised their flags.

The protesters unfurled banners of the farm unions and Sikhs – one of the minority religious groups and the most prominent face of the protests. Mainstream media and ruling party supporters used the opportunity to blame the movement for desecration and religious terrorism. Security forces charged sleeping farmers with batons at one location, filed cases against movement leaders, allowed opponents to pelt campaigners with stones, arrested journalists and shut down the Internet.

The attacks, therefore, ended up lifting the flagging morale of the farmers and helped the movement gain even more supporters, who shunned the government and media narrative. Massive community gatherings of khaps were organised at multiple places over the next few days, extending their support to the protests and issuing a boycott call for the BJP and its political allies.

Mending fault lines

The movement has also been able to overcome regional and gender divisions, and is trying to address caste divides.

The states of Haryana and Punjab are often at loggerheads on the issue of sharing of river waters. Haryana was carved out of Punjab on linguistic lines in 1966, but most of the rivers flow through the current Punjab state. Haryana has been seeking a greater amount of water for use by its farmers, while Punjab’s farmers oppose the demand, citing reduced water flow in the rivers over the years. The current protests have united farmers for a common cause, helping them understand each other even though opponents have made attempts revive the water issue.

Women have also been participating in the protests in large numbers. They are either occupying roads on Delhi’s borders or managing homes and farms in the absence of men, while taking part in protest marches in villages.

“Earlier, we were able to rally only 8,000-10,000 women for a protest. Today that number has swelled to 25,000-30,000, as they recognised the threats posed by the new laws to the livelihoods of their families,” said Harinder Bindu, who leads the women’s wing of the largest farm union in Punjab. “For many women, this is the first time they are participating in a protest, which is a big change because they were earlier confined to household work. Men are getting used to seeing women participate and recognising the value they bring to a movement.”

“When women members participate in sit-ins, men manage the house. I feel this movement will bring greater focus on women’s issues within the farming community – one of which is the need to support the widows of farmers who died by suicide due to financial constraints.”

In Punjab, less than four per cent of private farmland belongs to Dalits, the lowest caste in the traditional social hierarchy of India, even though they constitute 32 per cent of the state’s population. They often earn their livelihoods through farm work or daily wage labour. Even though Dalits have a legal right to till village common land, attempts to assert that right often lead to violent clashes with upper-caste landlords who want to keep it for themselves. Dalits are waging similar battles across India. Researchers recorded 31 land conflicts involving 92,000 Dalits in 2019. A few of the farmers’ unions have supported and raised funds for Dalit agitations in the past.

The movement is gradually encompassing other rural issues beyond the farm laws. In the state of Maharashtra, for instance, thousands of tribal people travelled to the capital Mumbai on Jan. 23 to extend support to the farmers. They also asserted their own long pending demand for land titles under the Forest Rights Act, which recognises traditional rights of scheduled tribes and other forest dwellers on the use of land and other forest resources.
