Forbes released its annual list of the Global 2000 this week with a number of Indian companies on the list. The largest Indian company (Reliance Industries) checks in at #193. What's interesting is the top 8 out of 10 Indian companies are all "old industry" (steel, utilities, oil and gas), with only two communication comapnies representing New India. I suspect this will change in 5 years, but for now the old industries still rule.

Mumbai, India: DLF Ltd has said it would invest Rs 3,500 crore - roughly a third of its planned initial public offering (IPO) - in building up its land reserves. This is significantly lower than its earlier plan of investing Rs 6,500 crore for the purpose.

Announcing its plans here today, DLF said it hoped to raise Rs 9,625 crore through a public issue of 1.75 crore shares in the price band of Rs 500-550 between June 11 and 14.
