Sensex, Nifty sluggish; Suzlon jumps 4%, FMCG stocks gain

1:50 pm Market outlook: The India story continues to be strong despite the recent dip in the market, says Chandresh Kumar Nigam, MD and CEO of Axis Mutual Fund. The market has been rallying for more than a year and with it comes the usual ups and downs, he says. 

According to him, investors are expecting the finance minister to continue with investments needed for growth of the economy, make announcements on how to get investments back on track and build business confidence. If he manages to deliver on all those fronts, the long-term rally in the market will continue, he adds. Another thing that is aiding India at the moment is the fact that globally, there aren’t many places to invest, says Nigam.

1:30 pm Budget session: Even as a united opposition and anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare continue with their vociferous protests against the Centre's economic agenda and "pro-rich" stand, the Narendra Modi government on Tuesday tabled the Land Acquisition Amendment Bill 2015. It will replace the ordinance promulgated by the government in December 2014, which had brought changes in the earlier bill passed in 2013 by the UPA government.

The government had promulgated the ordinance making significant changes in the Land Acquisition Act including removal of consent clause for acquiring land for five areas -- industrial corridors, PPP projects, rural infrastructure, affordable housing and defence.
