Company Profile

PGCIL is India’s principal electricity power transmission company which generates its revenue through tariffs charged for facilitating power transmission from power producers to the distribution network or end users. As on September 30, 2013 PGCIL operated around 90 % of India’s power transmission business with 86 ongoing transmission projects in various stages of implementation. PGCIL has been conferred a Navaratna status in the year 2008.The company is also involved in the consultancy business. Besides electricity transmission, PGCIL is also involved in telecommunication bandwidth business.

Concerns

3.       A major chunk of revenues is derived from state power Utilities (SPU) with weak credit histories.

The Analysis

Though PGCIL is the leading electricity power transmission company of the nation but its revenues are strictly controlled by the government of India and CERC.
Policy flip-flops and populist measures by the government have always been a nightmare for this Navaratna company. Besides, ailing state electricity boards with poor credit history are really a concern. Financial are satisfactory but the profitability is restricted. There is no comparable peer but the average industrial Price to Earnings Ratio is 11 and Rs. 89 can be termed as a fair price.
The stock traded in a trading range in the past few years

What makes this issue interesting for me is the retail discount of 5 % which makes the upper price for retail investors as Rs. 85.5 while the LTP in the secondary market is Rs. 95.1.
This scrip has seen a strong support at Rs. 92 in past the few years.
I think, if this difference of Rs. 9.6 persists till the last day of this issue and overall market remains still, then I should apply for this issue at the cut-off price.
My sole aim will be to gain the listing gains.

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

By
A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat. Any team's performance is directly proportionate to the relationship between its members and their combined efforts. What is the definition of teamwork? Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

By
Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
