Gruh Finance is another stock to watch today after the housing finance subsidiary of HDFC reported a robust financial performance in the March 2018 quarter.

Spotlight on the Natural Gas Economy

To reduce its carbon footprint, the Indian government is targeting to increase the share of natural gas in the primary energy-mix from the present level of 6% to 15% by 2030. Therefore, to ease the gas supply, the thrust has been on raising production of gas as well as import of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG), completion of the national pipeline grid and faster roll-out of the city gas distribution network in the country.

Further, the government is also planning to launch a Gas Trading Hub/Exchange (GTHE) to boost the consumption of natural gas in the country. The GTHE that is expected to come up by October will result in better price discovery through the creation of the Indian gas benchmark. Presently the price of bulk natural gas is fixed by the government based on the price prevalent in gas-surplus nations of Russia, US, China and the cost of importing LNG.
