Indian indices
The key indices opened on a cheerful note today as the investors eagerly waited for optimistic announcement on D Day. Markets remained positive in the morning session but all the hopes were shattered as the Union Budget 2013-14 proved out to be a complete non event. Heavy selling in index heavyweights and banking stocks dragged markets lower as the concerns over rising current account deficit dampened sentiments. The broader markets too ended in red. Nifty marked its longest losing streak to hit three month low. The major highlight of FM's speech was that the government raised the surcharge on corporate tax to 10% from 5% for domestic companies whose taxable income exceeds Rs10 crore per year. Several other changes were proposed in the Budget this afternoon. Investors were aloof as they rolled over their positions from the near term February series to march series in the futures and options segment.

Movement of the Indian indices for the day:
Indian stocks witnessed steep fall after Finance Minister P. Chidambaram presented one of the most highly anticipated Indian Budgets of recent years today. Though the government looks to cap the rising fiscal deficit and restore confidence in Asia's third largest economy, this however could not set the market mood as the Budget 2013 had no surprises in its kitty. Selling pressure in majority of the sectors weighed on the sentiments leading to a weak market breadth. The Sensex witnessed its lowest close in three months, to end below 19000 mark while ended below 5700 level. Markets slipped further in afternoon session as the traders rolled over the positions on F&O expiry day. The stocks like Suzlon, RComm and SBI which started on a positive note witnessed steep fall in the last trading hour.

Parliament speech stated that, current account deficit continues to be high due to excessive dependence on oil, coal and gold imports and slowdown in exports and that India does not have choice between welcoming and spurning foreign investment. He termed FDI as 'imperative'.

On currency front, the rupee fell by 47 paise to Rs54.33 at the Interbank Foreign Exchange, due to dollar demand from importers.

The Sensex closed at 18861.54, down by 290.87 points and the Nifty fell by 103.85 points to settle at 5693.05 in trade today.

Following are the stocks/sectors which were in news today:
  • Coal India rose after the FM P Chidambaram proposed to encourage public-private partnership model with Coal India to boost output. However, stock reversed the trend to close 0.43% lower.
  • 2. Radio operators surged after the Finance Minister P Chidambaram proposed to expand private FM radio to 294 cities. 
  • Multi Commodity Exchange of India rose 2.39% after the Finance Minister P Chidambaram proposed to levy commodity transaction tax on non agri-commodities futures at 0.01%.
  • Tata Motors rose 0.49% and M&M fell 2.27% after the Finance Minister P Chidambaram proposed to increase excise duty on sports utility vehicles.
  • Suzlon Energy fell 34% to hit new 52 week low, after promoters raised funds for corporate debt restructuring via stake sale.
