PTC India -- How much it will fall ?

2011-11-17T01:56:00.000-08:00

We all know it is a good buy but still confused how much it will go down,there are different opinions from different experts but for long term buyer,it is a definite pick.I am just placing some notes that i have found on net a chat with T N Thakur, Chairman & Managing Director, PTC India though it is bit older one but atleast gives a idea about the situation

    ‘Long-term volume to double'

    PTC India (PTC) was established in 1999 as a government of India initiated public-private partnership to develop a commercially vibrant power market in the country. To assess the current scenario in the power sector and how it impacts the company, Capital Market's Rushit Pareikh spoke with T N Thakur, Chairman & Managing Director, PTC India. Excerpts:

    What is the volume growth in trading of power?

    Trading volume was up about 34% at around 24,481 million units (MU) in the fiscal ended March (FY 2011) over FY 2010.

    What is PTC India’s growth estimate for FY 2012? Given the uncertainty and delay in the power sector, how can you be sure of FY 2012?

    We expect volume growth of about 25-30% in FY 2012. Short-term volume always remains difficult to predict. But, based on past experience, we can say that we will definitely grow. We expect our long-term traded volume, which was around 1,274 MU end March 2011, to double by FY 2012 based on the various power projects that will become operational in FY 2012.

    Which power projects do you expect to be operational in FY 2012 and in FY 2013?

    The power capacity of PTC India, as per the power-purchase agreements (PPAs) signed with developers, stood at around 15,220 MW including 1,416-MW crossborder projects in FY 2011. We expect about 1,354 MW of power projects to get commissioned in FY 2012. These include the 704-MW Jaypee Karcham hydro project and the 100-MW tolling projects of Everest Power Pvt Ltd, both in Himachal Pradesh, and the 200-MW Simhapuri Energy and the 160-MW Meenakshi power projects, both based on imported coal, in Andhra Pradesh. We expect about 4,613 MW of power capacity to be commissioned in FY 2013. All these projects have had their financial closure. They are fuel-backed projects. We do not expect any delay in commissioning of these projects.

    Though there is some uncertainty among some state electricity boards (SEBs), we expect volume to definitely grow in FY 2012.

    Will the reluctance SEB to buy higher-cost power increase trading volume or reduce it?

    The concerns of SEBs are not new. They are there since we started our business. The difference between now and the past is the high fuel costs, which the SEBs are not able to absorb due to various reasons. Just imagine in states like TamilNadu and Rajasthan, the power tariff per unit has not been revised even once in the past five years while all costs related to generation of power have been increasing.

    Various SEBs like in Delhi have got permission to increase tariff, but only gradually. However, the problem still remains as these hikes take care of past losses. Current losses are piling up. These are only temporary solutions. We want reforms. So unless SEBs are allowed to pass on the high fuel cost impact, they will not buy power at higher rate and will resort to huge power cuts, which can affect our volumes.

    Have there been cases of power producers delaying commissioning of projects due to fuel costs?

    We do not expect any significant delays from power developers with whom PPAs have been signed by PTC India so far. However, the realisation of these power producers has come down. The main reason remains lack of evacuation of power by SEBs. Thus, developers have concerns about realisation.

    PTC India improved its margin last year. So our margin has nothing to do with how much margin the developer makes. The more we trade power, the more the demand for power, better will it be for us.

    How has PTC India been able to increase market share?

    PTC India has a market share of about 51% in the power trading business. The main reasons have been the first-mover advantage and the innovations that we have done along the way. The bouquet of services that we provide is unparalleled. We mitigate the risks of the sector and, at the same time, provide a platform for buyers and sellers to meet and conduct business. We try and ensure that power reaches every deficit corner of the country.

    Why can a developer not enter into direct contract with SEB? Why does he need to go through PTC?

    This question has remained with us from the day we began the concept of trading. In any market, there are always options available. Bilateral trade is one. But the risk associated with this sector has to be understood. Buyers and sellers have understood this risk over a period of time. Thus, they conduct business through us. I will illustrate this through an example. First is that the developer and the SEB could be in different locations and they approach PTC India to be the mediator. Second, the company is able to bring in the appropriate rate. Third, we are able to bear the entire credit risk. In return, a trading margin is charged by PTC India.

    What is the possible and real risk due to SEB default, restructuring or delays? How much risk including credit risk flows to PTC India? How can you control this risk?

    Since our inception, we have not seen any default from SEBs. Neither do we expect that to happen. There can be and have been delays from SEBs in their payments. For long-term trading volume with SEBs, we always enter into a contract through a 30-day rolling letter of credit (LC). If payment is not received within 30 days, we stop supply and revoke the LC. For short-term volume, we provide a credit period of about seven days. We stop supply if the payment is not received on the seventh day.

    We also provide a back-to-back guarantee to the developer. It is contract-specific. On short-term volume, we receive credit of about 10 days from the developer before making payment. Thus, we enjoy negative working capital of three days in short-term trading.

    The concerns about our fate on restructuring of receivables are exaggerated. The average collection period stood at about 42 days in FY 2011, whereas the average payment period was 24 days in FY 2011. This implies about 18 net debtor days. Excluding Tamil Nadu and Karnataka SEBs, the average collection period comes down to about 21 days. This effectively implies a negative working capital cycle.

    A 2% rebate is applicable for payment made within seven days from the date of Invoice. A surcharge is levied for payment beyond the due date, which is 30 days from the date of invoice.

    PTC India earns a high return on surplus cash as SEBs loose cash discount if they delay payment. Can this trend of SEBs delaying but ultimately paying and PTC India earning high return on temporary deploying cash continue?

    If SEBs delay payment, we save our cash discounts and, in fact, charge interest on them. A 2% rebate is applicable for payment made within seven days and a surcharge is levied for payment beyond the due date, which is 30 days for long-term contracts. As this is not our core business, we will be happy if we earn through regular sale and purchase of power. This way the business volume will grow as SEBs will purchase more power if they are able to pay in time, resulting in growth of our business.

    The margin improved in FY 2011, because the margin cap on short-term trading increased. Any chance of it reducing again? Why was it reduced earlier and then restored? Can it happen again due to the current environment of SEBs trying to cut costs?

    Due to high prices in the short-term power trading market, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) decided to cap the trading margin charged by various traders. Even after imposing the trading margin cap, short-term prices did not ease. It realised that the high tariffs were a result of demand and supply mismatch. Subsequently, in 2010, CERC decided to revise the margin cap to 7 paisa for short-term trades and remove the margin cap on long-term power trading contracts. We do not expect the regulators to revise the trading margin in near future.

    Since when did PTC India start realising the benefit of higher margin cap?

    The cap from CERC was removed from April 2010. So the positive impact came from Q1 of FY 2011. But the full impact started from Q2 of FY 2011.

    There is no cap on the margin for long-term projects as this can be negotiated. On what basis are these negotiations done?

    Long-term contracts are on a case-by-case basis, plant load factor, transmission and distribution rates and such other considerations. They are all negotiated one on one and there is no specific format.

    What extra risks is PTC India taking to earn higher margin on long-term volumes? How does it mitigate these risks?

    The long-term contracts executed by us are usually for the life of the project. Also, the quantum, and, therefore, the volume, of power being handled is very high, increasing the market and offtake risks and also the associated credit risks. Further, the billing cycle for long-term projects is for 30 days, which is longer than for typical short-term transactions.

    In case of any default in offtake of power by utilities, PTC India is to divert it to other potential customers. As a result of our marketing strengths, reflected in our market share, we would be in the best position to divert this power to other potential customers. Further, the other risks associated in a long-term contract like delay in commissioning are on back-to-back basis, i.e, whatever has been guaranteed to the buyer is backed by counter-guarantees from the project developers. Also, the credit risks associated with long-term contracts are mitigated by appropriate payment security mechanisms like letters of credit and bank guarantees.

    What is the percentage of long-term volume to total traded volume? How will it move in future?

    Our long-term volumes including cross-border trade constitute about 35-40% of our total volumes. We intend to increase the contribution of long-term trading volumes to about 60%-70% by FY 2014 through long-term PPAs of more than 15,000 MW that we have executed with various developers. The higher ratio of long-term trading volumes would reduce our dependence on volatile short-term markets.

    How are these long-term volumes sold? How is the rate fixed? How does PTC India de-risk project delays by developers if volumes are presold by it to SEBs?

    A major portion of the long-term contracts is sold through long-term competitive bids called by state utilities under case-I mechanism. Along with the project developers, PTC India participate in the case-I bids called by these utilities. Recently, we participated in the case-1 bids called by the utilities of Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The tariff to be quoted in the bid is mutually agreed between PTC and the developer before submission of the bid along with the trading margin. We execute a back-to-back agreement with the developer for the project, thus passing on all the associated risks and penalties including those applicable for project delays.

    How does the coal business operates? Is it a trading business or a commission business?

    Our subsidiary, PTC Energy, has entered into long-term imported coal purchase and sale agreements providing fuel linkage to Indian power plants. It is not on commission basis.

    Are there any fund-raising or diversification plans apart from the coal-and-power-project financing already done through subsidiaries?

    Apart from the coal-and-project-financing businesses that we have already started, PTC India is also trying to diversify its portfolio to joint development of power projects through PTC Energy. Right now, we do not have any plans to raise funds from the market.

    What is the role of PTC Energy?

    PTC Energy (PEL) was set up to develop an asset base for generating, supplying, distributing, transmitting and dealing in all forms of energy including import and export of coal, conversion of coal or fuels into electricity and fuel linkages and provide advisory services in the energy sector.

    The core investment strategy of PEL is to jointly develop projects to invest as promoter and hold on to investment rather than investing with an intent to exit. It has, accordingly, formulated an investment policy and is pursuing a number of projects in the energy sector.

Most securities market traders are not able to sense the opportunity of specific day trading market unless they have been given the right inputs and training. They should go for professional help for day trading that will help and ensure them to understand market in a better manner.

It is better to test the water before jumping in otherwise there are possibilities of being drowned.Online investment websites have encouraged many people to get in this investment segment.Now even average investors can open their account and start trading.Though it is always better to understand what puts, calls, and warrants are is essential to knowing whether or not to become involved in this type of exchange.There are different strategies that we have to follow to minimize risks and maximize profits.Like charting techniques as well as mathmatical formulas like Black-Scholes or the American Binomial option pricing models.

Use your credit card to improve credit score

2011-07-27T22:50:00.000-07:00

If you have availed a credit card and you are not using it then you should know that it can have a negative impact on your credit score and credit information report (CIR).

Though rare but there are chances that banks might suspended and close your credit card for no activity reason.we would suggest users to use their CC atleast once a month or so.By using the card once in a while, the issuer bank will consider it active, and you won’t be at risk for taking a hit to your credit score.

Indian Stocks weekly Pick up

2010-02-10T02:50:00.000-08:00

We all know that the things don't remain same always but there is also a theory that the things which go up comes down which is very popular in stock market.Now things are looking a bit smooth still there is volatility in market and things will change a lot on Budget pass.Better to keep your self ready for buying some good stocks.

I am bullish on sugar,power and finance sector though you have to access your stocks carefully,read the beta and VAR before investing and be prepared for bad conditions also.

My stock picks are

Torrent Power
Balram Pur chini (Budget might have something for it -- negative or positive keep an eye)
Polaris Software (U.S dollar and its prices are inter related check it out
ING Vysya (Budget might have something for it -- negative or positive keep an eye)

Bad to come in markets ?

2010-02-04T20:46:00.001-08:00

Well market is showing the response towards the global ques about the great debt shown by the G and Portugal and other countries at europe.
Read the post
http://www.anxw.org/2010/02/stock-slides-downward-european-countries-shows-excessive-debt/
Well this means now it will take some time for things to again settle down Indian markets will show some potential in improving a little bit but we can't say that they can go against the global happenings.It is better to hold the stock rather than run away if and only if you have invested in a good company.If your investment was speculative one then better to get out.It will need some time for things to settle.A +332 increase in a day doesn't mean we have bulls again it is a rally though.It will gradually grow up again.

I don' t think that sensex will keep on sliding downward.It will show a bit of correction specially in good stocks.But for monday and next week it is better to have a close eye on market.

Weekly stock picks

2010-01-31T21:44:00.000-08:00

Well it looks like the week we can see some positive movement though things are still not looking well.There are many things which will effect the market.

Mine sector picks are :

Power : Torrent Power 280 - 300 target 330 stop loss 270

IT :

Satyam 90 -105 Target 140 stoploss 85
Polaris : 150 - 160 Target 195 stoploss 145

Sensex goes down -- better time to invest

2010-01-27T00:36:00.000-08:00

well we all knew it that there was a 10 to 20 % correction for the market but still we were carrying on our daily strategies resulting into money blockages.Isn't it well i say that soon there will be again a upward trend in market specially in IT and related stocks we are not taking here banking stocks though they will effect many of the others thanks to Obama and China for this hussle any way they have their own policies but Indian markets are showing bad response along with the results of the companies.

If company do well then it is ok otherwise whole sector goes down there is so much of panic among investors that they just want to book losses and get out of it.I think market will boost again 2010 will be really tough time for investors even small news can disturb the market.

well lets wait and watch we have a look on torrent power looks like its results might be good as past quarterly results and IT stock Polaris also.Both might surprise in upcoming time.

Market Looking To Correct !!!!!

2010-01-06T03:55:00.000-08:00

Are you hoping for a correction in the market well the same thoughts are from the Managing Director and Head of Research, BNP Paribas Securities,who thinks it on the basis of the India’s price-earnings (PE) multiple is 20% higher than its Asian peers.
Flows in emerging markets, he says, could be muted in the first half of 2010, but he does not rule out the possibility of a repeat of last year’s flows to India.

He also expects to see a 10-15% correction from the current levels. There is a possible downside risk of 14,000-15,000 on the Sensex,

Bullishness on merchant tariff can take stocks higher and mutual funds can turn net buyers this year.

How do plan Investment For Inflation

2009-12-15T19:49:00.000-08:00

According to some economists : Inflation is likely to vault over 8% by the fiscal-end and the current trend might shove for policy actions as early as January,

Which shows that economic conditions will be getting better but at the same time consumers will be facing a great hike in prices,specially related to food,clothing etc which comes under general needs of the people.Gold is an obvious answer and many people already think about it. Holding a 5% to 10% of your portfolio in gold through an ETF is the way you can try to be on safer sider. It's very liquid and low cost way to hedge rather than than owning more volatile mining stocks.Keep your money invested where returns are same or atleast near to the inflation increasing rate.Don't put your money at one place and think it is now safer,its value is eroding every day.

Make money by investing in better fields go for secure way instead of gambling your money.Investors who think that the way the cane be safe by investing in long term investment really get hurt by inflation ,avoid low yielding fixed income securities, such as CDs, bonds and annuities.

Buying GOLD - Is it Best Inflation Covering Investment Policy

2009-12-12T20:42:00.000-08:00

12/13/2009

I think many of the people all around the globe think that gold is the best inflation fighting instrument in which one can invest but is it so.What do you think will this precious metal keep onn buzzing on the upside or will it lose some due to some facts :

Like the boom back of equity market and other investment opportunities.
People are looking for more return than what they are gaining through just investing in it.
Demand and supply : Like other investment this is driven by demand and supply.
Bank failures : If people thinks that bank will fail then there is increased possibilites of gold to be buyed in more qty.
This is what happened in the USA during the Great Depression of the 1930s, leading President Roosevelt to impose a national emergency and to outlaw the ownership of gold by US citizens.
Low or negative real interest rates : If the return on bonds,equities and real estate is not enough to compensate for risk and inflation then also it will increase the gold buying
War, invasion, looting, crisis : we all know that they will increase it.
Speculation : People who are speculators try to just bump on this commodity for earning money just by speculting on it.
Dollar and gold relationship :
The US$ gold price and the Dollar Index generally trend in opposite directions
well but it is not so always.
As on 31 dec 1993 it shows that they moved along with each other

How do you pick a stock scrip ?

2009-12-11T01:11:00.000-08:00

Many people have their own rules in stock market they work according to them make money and then feel that they are the best because they are able to time the market and get benefit.Well while the people who knew the stock market better know that there is nothing like market timing,there is noone who can track the market fully though the bullies like rakesh jhunjhunwala etc who have great networth and can easily effect the market for a day or so with their connections, they can also face some problems.

Even bankruptcy sometimes.Fundmanagers,mutual fund managers,company managers and CEO's etc have the latest and best information through which they can do many things we all know about insider trading and other stuff.They are not only intelligent in doing it but also do it in a more better and secured manner so that they cannot be spotted.

Well i was talking about how do you pick a scrip ?

The old rule:

Buy cheap sell expesive
Mean you should pick out some scrips based on your liked industry.Then research about their fundamentals,go for technical charts on 52 week basis,estimate the upcoming momentum and then look for whenever is there a downfall in the stock by a good avg then buy it.

Avoid bharti airtel in current scenario ?

2009-12-11T01:08:00.000-08:00

12/11/2009

well many people search my blog for bharti aritel latest news i would say that you should remain away from this stock at present levels the way this stock had showed a momentum of upward trends along with idea and other communication shares it is well understod that there is something going out there,which is hidden from general investor as if you see this news of moneycontrol.com that

Birla Sun Life picks auto, pharma; drops metal, telecom which shows that this boom of telecom prices are just due to the day traders or the speculators.

Stay away from bharti

Best Scrips For Intraday Trade

2009-12-04T23:08:00.000-08:00

I think sensex will crawl near 17100- 17250 this upcoming week with a great opportunity for day traders to make some serious money.Due to dubai crash people as still not so obvious that the market will carry on at its regular pace but there are many chances that on monday sensex and nifty will rise a bit and will end positive.

How to cancel a cheque - Banking tips

2009-12-02T01:01:00.000-08:00

Mnay times companies ask us to provide a cancelled cheque for formalities specially for ecs payment(Electronic Clearing Service).It can be on the time of opening of a demat account with a share trading company or when you are taking some insurance policies etc.

The simple method is given in this pic below : You don't need to sign it.

Compound Annual Growth Rate - CAGR

2009-11-07T20:45:00.000-08:00

CAGR does not represent economic reality. A stock position might be up 40% one year and down 5% the next.It is basically year-over-year growth rate of an investment over a specified period of time. It's an imaginary number that describes the rate at which an investment would have grown if it grew at a steady rate.

There are five variables in a compound growth rate calculation:

* Beginning value
* Ending value
* Length of time between the values
* Periodic scale (days?, months? years?)
* Periodic rate of change

Do you use fundamental analysis before buying or selling a stock

2009-11-04T03:12:00.000-08:00

Many of us don't do it.Yes many of us don't even look at the websites such as bseindia,nseindia and moneycontrol.com and also many also don't even see the tv channels about the latest ongoing which can really affect your investment.

You only rely on your mind saying it will rise and this will go down,etc etc but how many times you get shocked when market opposes it.I must say that even though you cannot give much time for doing all kind of research work but i would suggest you to do some of the following things

1 )Get the latest news for the company from whatever means you can,specially its upcoming changes etc.

2)Go for looking at P&l account and also balance sheet compare them within the industry and also within the last ones.I mean quarterly ones.Choose bloombergutv.com
for it i think it can help more in comparing fast.

3)See the trend through charts -

4) Diversify - I know i also don't like it as more risk more gain can help some times but not always so divide your investment in better stocks.And have a liquidity of about 35% in your portfolio everytime so that you can purchase when market plunges.

5)Don't go for buying at early morning and late in trading sessions.

Most Reliable Technical Indicator

2009-11-04T02:13:00.000-08:00

Many of us look for the set of best and most reliable technical indicators which can help us in intraday trading and for short term trading and from where we can compare it i mean the software available to compare them.

My first choice is MACD -- which stands for

Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD)

this method was developed by Gerald Appel

read more about how to use it here

http://stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?id=chart_school:technical_indicators:moving_average_conve
Then this investopedia article also have some good references
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/macd.asp

Well according to investopedia (I hope it is not considered as copyscape -- )

1. Crossovers - As shown in the chart above, when the MACD falls below the signal line, it is a bearish signal, which indicates that it may be time to sell. Conversely, when the MACD rises above the signal line, the indicator gives a bullish signal, which suggests that the price of the asset is likely to experience upward momentum. Many traders wait for a confirmed cross above the signal line before entering into a position to avoid getting getting "faked out" or entering into a position too early, as shown by the first arrow.

2. Divergence - When the security price diverges from the MACD. It signals the end of the current trend.

3. Dramatic rise - When the MACD rises dramatically - that is, the shorter moving average pulls away from the longer-term moving average - it is a signal that the security is overbought and will soon return to normal levels.

Traders also watch for a move above or below the zero line because this signals the position of the short-term average relative to the long-term average. When the MACD is above zero, the short-term average is above the long-term average, which signals upward momentum. The opposite is true when the MACD is below zero. As you can see from the chart above, the zero line often acts as an area of support and resistance for the indicator.

So how will you decide whether a security is indicating a overbought or oversold. Well you can use following indicators for it.

Stochastic oscillator

FSTO Fast stochastic and slow stochastic oscillator

The stochastic momentum oscillator is used to compare where a security's price closed relative to its price range over a given period of time. There are three types of Stochastic Oscillators: Fast, Slow, and Full. The Full Stochastic is discussed later. For now, let's look at Fast versus Slow. As shown above, the Fast Stochastic Oscillator is made up of %K and %D. In order to avoid confusion between the two, I'll use %K (fast) and %D (fast) to refer to those used in the Fast Stochastic Oscillator, and %K (slow) and %D (slow) to refer to those used in the Slow Stochastic Oscillator.

It is calculated using the following formula:

%K = 100[(C – L14)/(H14 – L14)]

C = the most recent closing price
L14 = the low of the 14 previous trading sessions
H14 = the highest price traded during the same 14-day period.

So where to get it for bse and nse charts
well if you are icicidirect customer they have some very good online charting software for it.But if you are like me which don't have any access to such software then you can move to three websites i would suggest you use them with your patience watch the market and don't try to just go against the market.

well i was watching voltas so please note it.

1) Google Fianance india - i think it is more frequently updated then yahoo so go for it
http://www.google.com/finance?q=NSE:VOLTAS

2)Yahoo Finance India

3)Charts Bse

Though looks promising but it needs to be refreshed by hand
and i hate it.

Better Time to Enter Stock Market

2009-10-26T23:17:00.000-07:00

Market is being volatile nowadays,though world economy seems to strenthening but many factors are still creating a better chance for speculators.Those who had wished to enter in some premium stocks can now get them at a cheaper rate.

For example as on 27 oct 09

Voltas 146
Bharti 317
Sesa goa 286

you can compare these prices with the past 4 month prices and these stocks have touched a better trends of all time.Though we all know there are many issues like the Q2 results and other matter but i do think that they are still purchasable.Any way it is upto you to decide on whether to get into it or not.

Which Theroy you follow for investment - Random walk or Beating the market

2009-10-26T01:30:00.000-07:00

many of us think that we know the pulse of market where it will lead to and simply relating the things with each other watching new channels (financial)and then concluding like if crude oil goes up then market will move upward etc thinking about global economy and the various factors like employment rates,political powers,then again company repo,government actions etc.

I think there are not a limit to these factors which can move the market or a stock.Then are the people who are working hard in calculating the profits losses amking financial expectations about companies and doing all the business after stock market are fools.

WELL there was a theory stated by Eugene Fama in 1960 which simply stats that it is impossible to beat the market because prices already incorporate and reflect all relevant information. This is also a highly controversial and often disputed theory. Supporters of this model believe it is pointless to search for undervalued stocks or try to predict trends in the market through fundamental analysis or technical analysis.

Now according to the efficient market hypothesis theory you are playing a game instead of a intelligent buying or selling activity.If markets are efficient and current, it means that prices always reflect all information, so there's no way you'll ever be able to buy a stock at a bargain price.

But how some fund investors and mutual fund managers are able to outperform in markets

Well i think they have some really good information about the companies which are not available to public at large the calculations which we do after analysing the company financial results are different from what they analyse.

My conclusion

Go for limited and better diversification

Read about latest news and upcoming factors for a company in which you are going to invest like competitors,future growth probable,companies merger and aquisitions,government policies,

Better to invest in small proportions like for example you buy today 100 shares of Rashtriya chemicals at 69 then look for another patch and then again pick the lot.Same in selling.But this might result in more (brokerage etc)charges

Don't try to run against market

Go for stop loss everyday

Chinese stock market : Looking to convert ChiNext Nasdaq-style board

2009-10-17T19:46:00.000-07:00

China launches its highly anticipated ChiNext Nasdaq-style board in Shenzhen October 23, state media reported on Saturday.

Shang Fulin, chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission for Securities, today announced the launch date of the market growth business forum in Beijing, the official Xinhua news agency reported.

The first batch of 28 companies will debut on Friday, Xinhua said.

Regulators hope that the new market will fuel start-ups and other companies with high growth potential to help the world's third-largest economy, following Wall Street Nasdaq.

But there were also concerned that the new council, which attracted great interest from investors, they must withdraw funds from the motherboard and drag stock prices.
