Progress Update
The Market Environment
Foreign Institutional Investors continue to invest in India, with more than US$
2 Bn inflows in November, the highest monthly inflow in this calendar year. The
economy recorded a strong 2nd quarter GDP growth of 9.2% compared to 8.9% in
the last quarter. Backed by the strong GDP growth the BSE Sensex touched an all
time closing high of 13,773. There has been a continuing interest in large cap
stocks compared to small and mid-cap stocks, clearly evident from the higher
increase in Sensex than Small Cap Index.
During November, the Rupee moved to 87.21 against Sterling, depreciating by
1.93%. Since 1 Jan 2006 the Rupee has depreciated by 11.97% against Sterling.

Activity during the Month
The Company has continued to add to its positions in its core portfolio. We have
increased our stakes in Grabal Alok, Gruh Finance and Mahindra Ugine (which now
features among our top 5 small and mid-cap holdings). We have also subscribed
to the preferential allotment in S Kumars Nationwide.
We have exited from two large cap companies - one bank and another manufacturing
company - and partially sold down in three other companies.
However, activity during the month remained subdued due to expensive valuations
in the secondary market.
