RS 399 ABN Amro has cut ACC’s earnings and downgraded it to ‘sell’. ACC seems financially well-placed with moderate expansion plans, but its earnings outlook has weakened, since the industry may see excess supply for at least two years, which will lower cement prices. FY09 cement demand growth YTD, at 6.6%, is below expectations, due to the stress in credit markets and delays in capex. So, demand estimates for FY10 and FY11 fell by 200 bps each to 8%, which exposes the industry much longer to surplus supply. Restructuring over the past five years has seen ACC exiting non-core businesses. The company, which had high gearing in the last business cycle (1997-03 ), now seems in a stronger financial position. ABN estimates it will have a debt-equity ratio of just 7% even after financing its entire planned capex of Rs 3,700 crore over the

Solar powered, Linux brained autonomous robot sailboat aims to conquer the Atlantic

December 5, 2008 Few types of transport require as much thinking per mile as sailing - the sailor has to measure the speed and direction of both the water and the wind, which can constantly change, and then manage an array of sails and underwater hydrofoils at the correct angles to create motion in the desired direction. Navigation is its own challenge too, as it's impossible to sail directly into the wind and boats must 'tack' forward in zigzag patterns to make progress. All of which makes it quite remarkable that a group of European enthusiasts have created a Linux-brained autonomous sailboat bristling with sensors and capable of working its way around pre-set race courses or sailing to pretty much any nautical destination without any human intervention.
