The RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das was quoted by news agency ANI as saying: "The 30 days which we have given is the outer limit, you will see very swift action from the RBI to put in place a scheme to revive Yes Bank." Adding, Shaktikanta stated that "A market-based resolution of the problem, a bank laid, investor laid resolution of the problem is always preferable.

State-owned China Development Bank, with loans worth Rs. 9,860 crore ($1.4 billion) was the biggest creditor to the indebted telecom company, according to a filing made by the Indian company to stock exchanges. Exim Bank of China sought payment of Rs. 3,360 crore, while Industrial and Commercial Bank of China claimed Rs. 1,554 crore, according to the filing. India's bankruptcy court is hearing lenders, and the former billionaire's telecom firm as it attempts to find buyers for the company's assets and pay debt. Anil Ambani's older sibling and Asia's richest man Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd. had earlier offered to purchase RCom's assets in a Rs. 17,300-crore deal, which would have helped partly pay off lenders. The deal fell through after encountering regulatory hurdles. Mukesh Ambani had in March helped his younger brother avert the risk of being jailed by making an $80 million payment on his behalf to the local unit of Ericsson AB for past maintenance services.   ]]><![CDATA[ RBI Cuts Rate To Lowest In 9 Years ]]>The Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee, led by Governor Shaktikanta Das, on Thursday unanimously lowered key lending rate or repo rate by 25 basis points or 0.25 per cent to 5.75 per cent. The six-member committee also changed the policy stance to "accommodative" from "neutral". Repo rate is the interest rate at which commercial banks borrow short-term funds from the RBI. Thursday's decision comes after conclusion of a three-day meeting of the MPC. With today's cut, the RBI lowered the key interest for third time in a row to a level last seen in September 2010. The RBI's move to lower the repo rate met economists' estimates. Two-thirds of 66 economists in a poll conducted by news agency Reuters ahead of the release of GDP data had expected the Monetary Policy Committee to announce a 25-basis-points cut in the repo rate to 5.75 per cent. Today's rate cut comes as a relief to borrowers as equated monthly instalments (EMI) for home loans, car loans and other loans are set to come down. However, depositors would earn less on their bank investments. ]]><![CDATA[ Rupee gains, sensex surges 950 points as exit polls predict NDA's return ]]> is poised to retain power. SGX Nifty 50 Index futures rallied as much as 2.6% as exit polls predicted a majority for the Bharatiya Janata Party and its allies after the nation’s six-week-long general election ended Sunday. One-month offshore non-deliverable rupee forwards jumped as much as 2.3% to 69.10 per dollar. The forecasts come when the optimistic tone for the nation’s assets has waned in the wake of the US-China trade standoff and concern about Modi’s ability to repeat his landslide 2014 win amid a resurgent opposition, farm distress and a job crisis. Investors had been worried that an outcome that defies the market’s base case view -- the BJP-led alliance winning with a slim majority -- could lead to an adverse reaction. “Exit poll results will put to rest any concerns about the present government not coming back,” said Paresh Nayar, Mumbai-based head of currency and money markets at FirstRand Ltd. “Financial markets are going to cheer these exit poll results.” The rupee, Asia’s top performer in March, has slid 1.6% this quarter as escalating trade tensions roiled global markets. The yield on benchmark 2029 bonds fell five basis points last week to 7.36%, while the S&P BSE Sensex gauge of stocks recovered from a nine-session losing streak to cap the best week since March. Sentiment has been fragile as overseas investors have pulled more than $650 million combined from local shares and bonds this month. Also, Indian exit polls have often gotten things wrong: they wrongly estimated the BJP would win re-election in 2004 and significantly underestimated the scale of the main opposition Congress-led coalition victory in 2009. Votes will be counted Thursday. India’s currency begins trading in the spot market at 9 am in Mumbai, while equity indexes will start trading at 9:15 am. ]]><![CDATA[ Jet Airways employees hold silent protest at Mumbai International Airport ]]>Jet Airways employees hold silent protest at Mumbai International Airport Employees of Jet Airways on Wednesday staged a silent protest at the Mumbai International Airport to request the government to intervene to solve the crises that the company is facing.

Asian countries account for six of the top 10 markets showing an increase in the share of visitor sessions looking at Indian destinations.

Bangladesh showed 60 per cent annual growth, followed by Singapore at 57 per cent, Thailand at 20 per cent, Japan at 16 per cent and Malaysia at 12 per cent.
