MONTHLY FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK

The weakness in sensex during last month was led byGovernment's demonetization move, consistent FIIselling and US election uncertainty. However, globalmarkets defied initial fears of a sell off post the Trumpvictory and rose higher. Trump has promised to investin infrastructure and bring back jobs to the USA, fol-lowing which the US bond yields have strengthenedand USD has risen against most other currencies.

Locally, several consumer oriented industries have re-ported sharp dip in demand post demonetization.While availability of cash inlower denomination is seenimproving in coming days,which should alleviate somehardship for consumers, it isalmost certain that the de-monetization would weighnegatively on the third quar-ter numbers. Given this, thecase for a rate cut hasstrengthened as a necessarytool to support growth activ-ity.

Going into December, thefocus of the markets wouldbe on the Fed meeting andRBI monetary policy meet,apart from the Italy referen-dum. We do see someheadwinds in near term aris-ing from the strengtheningUSD, near term weakness in hitherto strong consumerdemand and uncertainty over implementation of GST.Markets have corrected by about 4% since the de-monetization announcement with several stocks fall-ing steeply. Benchmark indices are currently trading ataround 15.5x FY18 consensus estimates, which ismarginally higher than the long-term average. Thismay provide some cushion to the markets.

We maintain our preference for companies havingstrong balance sheets and ethical managements. Withcontinuous efforts of Government in reviving infra-structure sector, we expect select construction com-

panies and banks to benefit from the same. We arealso positive on select stocks in sectors which couldbe favourably impacted by the implementation of GST(Logistics, Auto, Media, Building Materials, Cements,etc), Government spending (Roads and Railways) andrural demand revival (cement, paints, FMCG, etc).Some of these sectors may see near term headwindsfrom demonetization. Key risks to our recommenda-tion would come from geopolitical concerns globally,continued decline in foreign inflows, sharp currencymovements and a spike in oil prices.

Global events to watchout for -

Fed rate hike in Decemberlargely priced in; Yellen'scommentary to be keenlywatched

In her previous testimony,Yellen had said that, a ratehike could be "appropriaterelatively soon," implying thatthere are risks to waiting toolong to tighten monetarypolicy. Post these comments,according to the CME Group'sFedWatch tool, market expec-tations for a December ratehike have increased to around90%.

US economic data has also pointed towards strengthen-ing economic recovery as reflected by housing starts,which soared more than 25% in October and weeklyjobless claims dropped to their lowest level since No-vember 1973. Meanwhile, October CPI rose 0.4%, inline with expectations.

While a December rate hike is largely priced in, we be-lieve, what would be more important would be the paceof future hikes. A gradual hike in the US interest rateswill not be a negative for India and other EMs as itwould lessen the risk of sharp pullout of funds, whilesustaining the confidence in the US economy.

Going into December, the focus of themarkets would be on the Fed meeting andRBI monetary policy meet, apart from the

Italy referendum. We do see some headwindsin near term arising from the strengtheningUSD, near term weakness in hitherto strong

consumer demand and uncertainty overimplementation of GST continues. Marketshave corrected by about 4% since the de-monetization announcement with several

stocks falling steeply. Benchmark indices arecurrently trading at around 15.5x FY18

consensus estimates, which is marginallyhigher than the long-term average. This may

provide some cushion to the markets.

MONTHLY FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK

Trump's policies to be in focus

Traders continue to watch Trump's economic policiesclosely because of the effect it could have on monetarypolicy. The Republican has said that he planned to spendon infrastructure and cut taxes to stimulate theeconomy. Increased fiscal stimulus on roads, rails andtunnels could have an impact on the Federal Reserve'sinterest rate hiking path.

In a related development, Trump expanded on his policyagenda, which includes withdrawing from the Trans-Pa-cific Partnership (TPP). Trump described the TPP as "apotential disaster" for the US and favoured fairer bilat-eral trade deals that bring jobs and industry back ontoAmerican shores. Basically, the Trump victory has raisedconcerns that, trade policies will now tilt in favour ofUSA and less towards global partners.

Trump's election win and Britain's referendum vote toleave the European Union are headwinds for India's ITsector, as clients such as big US and British banks andinsurers defer spending until the dust settles. AmongTrump's early priorities, would be directing "the Depart-ment of Labor to investigate all abuses of visa programsthat undercut the American worker." An indirect refer-ence to the H-1B programme, under which 65,000 tem-porary workers-and 20,000 with advanced degrees intech-related fields from American universities-are al-lowed to work in the US each year. There will be oppo-sition from the Silicon Valley to any proposal of reducingthe visa programme. However, what seems likely is thatthe Trump administration may raise the minimum wagefor foreign workers, which may curb margins for IndianIT vendors. Buying US companies would help Indian ITfirms build their local headcount, increase their on-the-ground presence in key markets and help counter anyprotectionist regulations.

European political risks going into 2017

Starting with Italian Referendum on December 4th, Ger-many, France and Netherlands will be holding generalelections in 2017. If parties opposed to the EuropeanUnion in these countries start gaining popularity, thenthere may be questions about the integrity of the mon-etary union, causing risk-off moves in major asset mar-kets.

Investors are concerned that, a defeat for Italian PrimeMinister Matteo Renzi in the Dec. 4 constitutional-re-form referendum would undermine the nation's fragilepolitical stability. A defeat for Renzi, who proposed thevote and initially pledged to resign if the result didn't gohis way, could lead to early elections and a rise in sup-port for the populist Five Star Movement. This party haspledged to carry out a referendum on whether Italyshould stay in the euro area.

Market observers fear that any credible noise abouteuro exit could induce capital flight and market volatil-ity, so that market pressure might force parties thatcampaigned for euro exit to quickly revise their plans.

Expecting appreciation in USD v/s emerging marketcurrencies like INR

The victory of Republican candidate Donald Trump in USPresidential election, along with Republican majority inboth houses of US Congress, caused significant sell-offin US Treasury bonds, which caused the yields to rise by~50bps to 2.35%. There is expectation that under thenew President, the pace of Fed rate hikes would befaster mostly due to rising inflation expectation,prompting further gains in the US Dollar index. Addition-ally, possibility of fiscal stimulatory policies is expectedto lift US rates further, supportive of Dollar index. Ex-pectations are also for inflation to rise. This has led tostrengthening of the USD and weakening of EM curren-cies.

In the Indian context, we have seen that a combinationof surging Rupee liquidity and some dollar shortage haspushed the forward premium below the levels war-ranted by the rate differentials. A similar collapse in for-ward premia had occurred during 2011 and 2013. Dur-ing both those years, Rupee depreciated against US Dol-lar. Rising yields in the US and a strenthening dollar arenegative for EMs currencies and Rupee is no exception.All in all, Rupee is drifting lower, only countered by spir-ited intervention from the central bank, who is using ex-change traded derivatives and inter-bank market to sellUSD.

OPEC agrees to reduce output

OPEC has finally agreed on crude oil output cut afterSaudi Arabia accepted cutting down its crude oil pro-duction, pushing up crude oil prices by ~10%. Currently,OPEC produces a third of global oil i.e ~33.6 million bpd.With this deal, it would reduce output by around 1.2million bpd to 32.4 million bpd from January 2017 andthat would take its output to January 2016 levels, whenprices fell to over 10 year lows.

Investment Strategist December 2016

MONTHLY FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK

Saudi Arabia will take the lion's share of cuts by reduc-ing output by almost 0.5 million bpd to 10.06 millionbpd. Its Gulf OPEC allies - the United Arab Emirates,Kuwait and Qatar - would cut by a total 0.3 million bpd.Iraq, unexpectedly agreed to reduce production - by 0.2million bpd. We maintain our positive outlook on crudeoil price. This will be positive for upstream players suchas OIL India, ONGC, Cairn India, Selan exploration, andHOEC. We do not rule out the possibility of increase incrude oil production from USA supported by highercrude oil prices.

Domestic events to watch out for -

Demonetisation - Initial reports indicate significantdemand crunch; to impact H2FY17 profits

The Government of India, in a bold move to fight blackmoney, terrorism and counterfeiting, has de-monetisedRs.500 and Rs.1000 notes WEF 9/11/ 2016. As per offi-cial data, till March 2016, Rs.14trn out of Rs.16trn worthcurrency issued by the RBI were in the denominations ofRs.500 and Rs.1,000. This works out to about 10.5% ofGDP. We believe that, the move will immediately re-duce the black money circulation to a significant extentand will make creation of new black money difficult.(Refer our report on "IMPACT OF DE-MONETISATION"dated Nov 17)

Even as the efficacy of this move in catching the bigblack money hoarders is still being debated, it cannot bedenied that, small businesses/retailers/daily wagers etchave continued to face hardships. Sales of discretionaryitems like Auto, Consumer durables, Real Estate andBuilding Products, Travel and Jewellery have been hitharder since demonetisation. Even companies in FMCG,Cement and consumer durable companies have seenslackness in demand. It is almost certain that 3Q profitnumbers for most sectors would get adversely im-pacted.

However, we believe that, the impact will be temporaryfor non-discretionary goods and demand will come backas more cash gets into the system. On the other hand,discretionary consumption (High-end consumer durables,etc) may see and elongated impact and so will sectorswith high cash component (real estate, jewellery, etc).

Winter session of parliament has been unproductiveso far

An expected fallout of the demonetization move hasbeen that the opposition and regional parties havejoined forces against the government's move. The im-mediate casualty has been the winter session of theparliament, which began on 16th Nov and has been acomplete washout so far. In this session, the govern-ment had hoped to make further headway into theimplementation of GST bill by clearing the Central GSTand Integrated GST bills, before its rollout from April 1,2017. However, given present state of political situa-tion, hopes of a productive winter session have dimin-ished.

RBI monetary policy - Case for rate cut has in-creased following demonetisation

As indicated earlier, the demonetization move is leadingto a sharp dent on the consumer spend across the coun-try. Given the significant weightage of consumption inthe GDP, this is expected to decelerate the economicgrowth. Thus, growth projections are being reviseddownwards. Fitch has recently downgraded the GDPgrowth estimate to 6.9% for 2016-17 from 7.4%. Itnotes further that the impact on GDP growth will in-crease the longer the disruption continues.

With higher liquidity in the system, interest rates areexpected to moderate and the currency may also re-main weak. This can be positive for all interest-rate sen-sitive sectors and banks. Export-oriented sectors willbenefit if currency weakens sharply.

However, we believe that the RBI may take a measuredapproach and limit rate cut to 25 bps. This is because ithas to consider several factors like global monetary poli-cies, INR movement, volatility in capital flows, firmingcommodity prices and Future inflation trajectory beforearriving at its monetary policy stance.

MONTHLY FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK

FII's turned net sellers for the monthFIIs were net sellers to the tune of Rs.16bn during No-vember 2016 while they are buyers to the tune ofRs.28bn YTD CY2016. Mutual funds remained net buy-ers for the month and bought stocks worth Rs.12.8bnduring November 2016 while for CYTD, MFs are buyersto the tune of Rs.349bn. Apart from the political turbu-lence following the demonetization move, what hasdented sentiments is a surprise victory of Donald Trumpin the US Presidential elections, and the latest economic(housing and jobless claims) data from the US that couldpush the US Federal Reserve (US Fed) to hike rates inthe upcoming policy review in December.

A sharper-than-expected increase in US interest rateswill pull liquidity out of EMs and may impact India also,despite its relatively better fundamentals. However, agradual increase in rates is already discounted and willensure minimal outflows and stability.

MONTHLY DERIVATIVE OUTLOOK

Looking Back

Nifty witnessed a range breakout in early trading ses-sion of the Nov series. This was followed by selling pres-sure on account of domestic developments which led tothe index testing 7900-7950 on the downside. Rangeexpansion was seen on account of volatility with rangeseen at 7900-8500.

Stocks fell dramatically as mid-cap lost their shine. Sell-ing pressure was seen across sectors.

Looking Ahead

Volatility is expected to remain extremely high in thenear term.

Currently we are in a pullback mode from the extremeoversold levels. The pullback rally may continue over thenext few days with a possibility of seeing some long un-winding / fresh Short Selling around 8200/8260. On theother hand, a sustain above the same can push the in-dex towards 8450/8520.

Cement stocks are expected to remain in action. Banksshould gain on domestic news flows. Pharma and FMCGcontinue to consolidate with buying opportunities.

Recommendation

Nifty Short Strangle: Sell 8500 Dec call and 7800 Decput option. Total premium inflow Rs. 63 maintain stop-loss of 90 and target of 30/0

MONTHLY TECHNICAL OUTLOOK

On monthly basis, the market has tested to 7900, whichwas lowest level of the day of BREXIT event and 50%retracement support based on Fibonacci retracements.After hitting a level of 7900 we saw a gradual up movetowards 8300 but it failed around 8250 that may notlike positional long traders as such type of formationsgenerally keeps market in a trading range.

For the month, we are expecting 7900 and 8300 aregoing to act as a major trading range for the market.As the market is holding around 8050 levels we feelthat nifty may move to 8300 in next few weeks but incase if we see the market reverses sharply from 8250/8300 and breaks 7900 then it would attract major un-winding of long positions

Below 7900 it has support at 7650 and above 8325 itcould jump up to 8420/8440. Nifty-IT, has completedcorrection and it seems it is reversing back sharply topull the recent losses. Expect break out buying above10180 that may take the nifty to 11000/11050. Itseems that bank nifty may spend some between thebroader trading range of 17800 and 19300 with a posi-tive bias.

In brief, we would see nifty beyond 8325 only if US Fedkeeps interest rates unchanged. Till then expecting side-ways and range bound activity. CNX IT looks good andwe should look for buying it with a stop loss at 9750(spot basis).

290 Adani Port & Special Economic Zone Nifty

INVESTMENT ARGUMENT APZ made major announcements in FY16 including development of a new

port at Vizhinjam, acquisition of Kattupalli port and a transshipment hub at Mundra.

The company intends to focus on container and Liquid cargo which adds value to APZ as they have higher margins, lower turnaround time and require lesser investment in terms of infrastructure

We estimate the next phase of growth for the company to come from subsidiary ports, especially the ports of Hazira, Dahej and Dhamra ports.

Management estimates healthy SEZ income over FY16 to FY18E on the back of addition of new assets at the port

Management is also making efforts to enhance non-port revenues, taking measures to bring down cost of debt and other cost and have taken cognizance of investor concerns with respect to third party transactions

RISKS & CONCERNS Competition in the port sector could climb significantly, as major ports

increase capacities and as minor ports come up. Slowing economy and trade Slow capex at SEZs

COMPANY BACKGROUND APZ has entered into an agreement with GMB to build, operate and

maintain the port for a period of 30 years till 2031 extendable by another 20 years.

The port is into providing cargo handling services for bulk, crude and container cargo.

SECTOR BACKGROUND Demand for port infrastructure is driven by the 3Cs: coal, containers and

crude.

350 India Cements Ltd Nifty

INVESTMENT ARGUMENT Results of the company were ahead of our estimates led by healthy

improvement in volumes and cost control measures. Lower power and fuel and other expenses helped in mitigating the impact of lower realizations on YoY basis.

Net profits registered an improvement of 62% YoY driven by volume gains as well as low base of last year (on account of higher tax provision in Q4FY16).

We expect prices to recover further in coming months coupled with demand improvement from AP and Telangana. We believe that in near term, demand is likely to get impacted by demonetization. However, medium to long term cement demand growth would be led by continued focus of government on infrastructure and rural economy revival.

RISKS & CONCERNS Steep fall in cement prices may post downward risk to our estimates Lower than expected demand revival can impact our dispatch

growth estimates

COMPANY BACKGROUND India Cements is a leading player in South India. But company's

performance was impacted by demand slowdown in southern india.

SECTOR BACKGROUND Demand scenario in Southern India is likely to improve going

forward with continued focus of government on infrastructure as well as spend towards rural housing. Along with this, incremental demand from AP/Telangana on higher government spending is likely to sustain prices at higher levels.

INVESTMENT ARGUMENT 1H results have been strong. While the 2H guidance has been impacted by

unexpected headwinds, we believe that, the new strategy should allow Infosys to improve growth rates over the long term with sustained margins.

The long-term strategic plan reflects Infosys' focus on next-generation services and delivery models. Infosys has already made significant progress towards next-generation services and delivery mechanisms.

RISKS & CONCERNS A slower-than-expected recovery in major user economies may impact our

projections. A sharp appreciation of rupee beyond our assumed levels may impact our

earnings estimates for the company.

COMPANY BACKGROUND Infosys was incorporated in 1981 by 7 engineers, led by Mr. Narayana

Murthy. Infosys had been the proxy for the Indian IT sector since its inception.

The company has been an outstanding corporate citizen in terms of corporate governance in India. Infosys services clients in over 30 countries.

SECTOR BACKGROUND IT services exports are expected to amount to nearly $110bn in FY16. Indian companies provide services to several Fortune 500 companies. Banking & Financial services sector accounts for the largest revenues and

USA is the largest geography for the industry

INVESTMENT ARGUMENT Trend of cigarette volume growth suggests that, after a reshuffle in

cigarette consumption patterns, there is stability in the cigarette market. ITC, which has c.80% market share in the cigarette market, is likely to see a fair degree of stability in revenue growth going forward.

The cigarette industry has been able to combat structural negatives with a higher mix of <65mm cigarettes. In ITC’s own product mix, <65mm cigarettes now contribute more than 20% (as per our channel checks)

9-10% growth in cigarette EBIT is now the base-case scenario, unless tax trajectory changes significantly. Moreover, other divisions of ITC (paper, hotels, agri-business) have a weak base, and could surprise positively.

Valuations of ITC are attractive relative to large-cap FMCG plays, as well as ITC’s own historical bands.

RISKS & CONCERNS Significant changes in tax trajectory, including potential negatives

from GST rollout

COMPANY BACKGROUND ITC is India's largest cigarette company, with c.80% market share.

The company is also involved in several other segments, which include non-cigarette FMCG goods, paper, paperboards, and packaging, hotel, and agri-business.

SECTOR BACKGROUND Indian FMCG sector’s size is pegged at Rs 2 Trillion with rural India

contributing to about a third of the revenues.

INVESTMENT ARGUMENT L&T is a diversified play on the Indian infrastructure and Industrial sector. The order backlog of Rs 2.51 trn remains strong providing visibility of 34

months of trailing four quarter revenue. The company has given revenue growth guidance in FY17 of 10-15%. Stock performance would be contingent on newsflow on larger order wins,

commodity price trends and general economic and policy datapoints (interest rate cuts and mining and power sector reforms), we opine.

We expect stock to respond favourably to any reforms moves to address the issues that have plagued the power sector

RISKS & CONCERNS

Mainly project execution and commodity price risks. Project investments has slowed down in recent quarters, which may impact

order flow in the coming quarters.

COMPANY BACKGROUND Professionally managed engineering company. Presence across Middle East and Central Asia Diversified across Power, Infrastructure, Hydrocarbons, Railways, Shipbuilding, Nuclear etc

SECTOR BACKGROUND The sector is a play on the growth of industrial and infrastructure investment

in India as well as abroad Government is a significant investor in the sector as it rolls out its investment

plans in road building, railways, power and energy. Sector has in the recent years been bogged down by high interest rates and

delay in decision making at government level.

450 Maruti Suzuki India Ltd Nifty

INVESTMENT ARGUMENT MSIL's volume growth has been healthy in 1HFY17 and the trend is

expected to continue in 2HFY17 and further strengthen in FY18. Strong demand for new launches, rural recovery, strong focus on urban market and trend shift towards petrol vehicles are the key volume growth drivers.

In recent years, the company made substantial strides in the premium car segment. MSIL has big opportunity to gain market share in the premium segment.

Full capacity utilization, expected decline in average discounts and rising share of premium models are expected to be positive for the margins. We expect MSIL's EBITDA margin over FY16-FY18E to stay at historical highs.

RISKS & CONCERNS Lower than anticipated growth will jeopardize our revenue and profit

estimates. MSIL benefits from yen depreciation. Any unfavorable movement of yen

can have significant impact on the company's profitability.

COMPANY BACKGROUND MSIL, India's largest passenger car company, is a subsidiary of Suzuki

Motor Corporation of Japan. Formed as a government owned company (Maruti Udyog Limited), it entered into a JV with Suzuki Motor Corporation. Over the years the company has been one the most successful player in the Indian car market.

SECTOR BACKGROUND India’s passenger vehicle industry sold ~3mn vehicles in FY14. While

80% of sales happened in the domestic market, balance 20% were exported. Top five players account for ~80% of industry sales volumes.

1600 Mold-Tek Packaging Nifty

INVESTMENT ARGUMENT Mold Tek Packaging stands to gains in the coming years from the increasing share

of IML, backward integration and expansion in the food and FMC G industry. MTPL was the first company to offer IML technology in 2011, while others were

focusing on screen printing and heat transfer labelling (HTL). IML is a high margin (300-400bps higher) technology compared to the traditional methods.

Emerged as one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of high quality airtight and pilfer containers/pails in India with an installed capacity of 28,800 tonnes per annum for paints, lubricants and FMCG (includes Edible Oil) industry.

Going ahead, incremental volume is likely to come from IML, thereby taking a proportion of IML shares in the overall revenue mix to 60% by the end of FY18E from 45% currently

Expect MTPL to continue delivering strong growth in the coming years on the back of integrated facilities and increasing revenue from the high margin FMCG industry. The stock trades at 12.6x/11.9x FY17E/FY18E earnings, and on EV/EBITDA, it trades at 8.2x/8.0x FY17E/FY18E. We initiate coverage with BUY rating.

RISKS & CONCERNS Slower than expected pick-up in edible oil business Slower than expected ramp-up at R AK facilit ies

COMPANY BACKGROUND Mold Tek Packaging is a leading manufacturer of high quality rigid plastic packaging products (Rigid plastic packaging) and a pioneer is Inject Mold Labelling for lubr icants, paints and FMCG industry. MTPL is one of the few companies globally to have completely backward integrated facility. It has 7 manufactur ing units in India, with an installed capacity of 2,400 tonnes per month and three stock points spread across India to ensure faster supplies. It has recently set up a plant at RAK, UAE.

INVESTMENT ARGUMENT Strong order book of Rs 186 bn providing visibility for two years. Order book is well diversified across roads, building, oil & gas (44%), water

& railways (26%), irrigation (12%), electrical (7%) & Int'l (10%). Company maintained it FY17 order inflow target of Rs 120 bn. Order inflow

of Rs 77.4 bn in 7MFY17 supports this guidance. It is quite optimistic on order inflows from AP/Telangana in water supply, irrigation and building segment.

Company has repaid nearly Rs 1.5 -2 bn worth of high cost debt and and expects to reduce it further by Rs 2 bn in FY17. Improved Balance Sheet with gross debt at Rs.20.6 bn as on 30th Sep'16 and debt/equity ratio of 0.6:1.

We expect NCC to post a CAGR of 9% on revenues and 17% on reported PAT over FY16-18E.

We maintain positive bias for the stock and recommend BUY on the stock.

RISKS & CONCERNS Delays in order inflow across verticals may impact revenue growth going

forward Delays in stake sale in road/real estate may keep debt at higher levels

COMPANY BACKGROUND Order book currently is diversified across roads, building, oil and gas, water

and railways, irrigation, electrical, mining, international, metals and power.

SECTOR BACKGROUND Order inflow is likely to increase going forward during the fiscal due to

improvement in macro-economic climate. We expect buildings, water supply, and irrigation to continue to witness increased activity thereby leading to better order inflows.

250 TV18 Broadcast Ltd Nifty

NVESTMENT ARGUMENT TV18 owns one of the most attractive bouquets in the Indian TV

Broadcasting industry (news operations, 50% ownership in entertainment/ infotainment operations via JVs), and valuation (mkt. cap ~Rs 70Bn) versus peers (Zee Entertainment ~Rs 520 Bn, Sun TV ~Rs 200 Bn) indicates significant scope for appreciation.

Strong performance in entertainment channels’ ratings points to strong earnings ahead: Colors, the flagship channel of Viacom18, has emerged as the #1 Hindi GEC in several weeks of 2016; regional channels too bringing in strong performance. IPO pipeline being strong is a positive signal for business news performance. Additionally, near-term earnings will benefit from political advertising (UP elections). We expect strong earnings growth with EBITDA CAGR of 47% between FY16-FY18E.

The company is likely to report strong earnings as and when the negative impact of recent launches fades (2HFY17). Valuations are attractive, at 15X FY18E PER (>40% discount to Zee Entertainment). Our price target implies PER of 22X FY18E.

RISKS & CONCERNS Ratings performance of key channels is the key risk.

COMPANY BACKGROUND TV18 Broadcast is amongst the largest TV broadcasting companies in

India, with presence in news as well as entertainment. The company has a 50:50 JV with Viacom ("Viacom18) which operates,

among others, Hindi GEC Colors. TV18 has bought a 50% stake in ETV entertainment channels (other than Telugu) and 100% stake in ETV News channels.

SECTOR BACKGROUND Indian TV Broadcasting is a Rs 540 Bn industry, with Rs 175 Bn in

advertising revenues. The sector is positively exposed to digital addressability, which should bring benefits to broadcasters/ platform providers.
