KEY FACTORS/EVENTS TO WATCH

4:15 p.m. IST at the Congress headquarters in New Delhi on how
the government intends to push its economic reforms in
parliament against the tactics of an obstructive opposition.
* Top officials from Reserve Bank of India and Chinese

next year when the new rules kick in?
* London mayor Boris Johnson to address a business
conference organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of
Commerce and Industry (FICCI) in New Delhi at 1000 GMT.

MAJOR DEALS/ACQUISITIONS
* Struggling Indian carriers Jet Airways India Ltd
and SpiceJet Ltd are in talks with Abu Dhabi's Etihad
Airways and Malaysia's AirAsia Bhd to sell minority
stakes, a senior government official with direct knowledge of
the talks said.
However, the Malaysian budget carrier dismissed the
speculation.
* Indian tractor maker Mahindra and Mahindra hopes
to strike a deal to buy up to half of British luxury sports car
maker Aston Martin by the end of this week, a person with direct
knowledge of the matter said on Monday.
The source said an initial 40-percent stake could rise to 50
percent for a total price unlikely to top $400 million.

* Power Finance Corp is expected to announce its debut
dollar bond as early as Tuesday, depending on market conditions
and on an approval by the Reserve Bank of India.
* ICICI Bank was doing a Reg S-only tap on the five-year
bonds via Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, HSBC, JP
Morgan and Standard Chartered. With books on the US$250m
reopening four times oversubscribed around mid-afternoon in
Asia, it was revised down to 345bp/340bp and is likely to price
at the tight end of that. (IFR)
* Rural Electrification Corp was also finalising a mandate
for a dollar bond that some say may well emerge this year still
or at least early next year. The company received approval from
local regulators earlier this year to raise up to US$750m in the
dollar market. This was followed with a US$250m loan, so it
still has US$500m available that it can get from the global bond
markets. (IFR)
* Reliance Industries was heard meeting investors last week
in Hong Kong and Singapore via HSBC, though it is unclear if
that will turn into a deal. (IFR)
