Rakhi to India, Rakhi Gifts to India, Send Rakhi to India

Cash-strapped Air India has got just enough funds to survive till the next government takes over and takes a call on how the ailing Maharaja survives. FM P Chidambaram allocated Rs 5,500 crore to AI in Monday's interim budget, which still leaves the airline with an overall shortfall of Rs 2,500 crore in equity infusion.

The government has so far infused Rs 12,200 crore into AI which had aircraft and working capital loans of Rs 26,033 crore and Rs 21,125 crore, respectively, on December 31, 2013. It is expected to post a loss of almost Rs 4,000 crore this fiscal.

The shortfall in equity infusion has meant that AI has to borrow from the market, instead of using the funds from government to reduce its debt burden. Airline Employees are on the warpath due to delayed payment and dues.

Meanwhile, the US Federal Aviation Administration's recent move to downgrade Indian aviation safety standards has meant a larger kitty for the directorate general of civil aviation. The interim budget has granted Rs 113 crore to the DGCA — up 49% from current fiscal's Rs 76 crore. The regulator needed more money as it is hiring 75 senior pilots as flights operations inspectors at market rates (which can be as high as Rs 12 lakh a month) to show the FAA that it has adequate oversight capacity. India then hopes to be back in the top safety category.

Beverage giant Coca-Cola India is betting on a bevy of new launches to go one up on its rival PepsiCo in the coming season. On the anvil is a low-calorie variation of Coca-Cola called Coke Zero, a relaunch of its energy drink Burn and a pan-India launch of its dairy-based drink Maaza Milky Delite.

Interestingly, senior executives at the Atlanta-based company are unfazed by the fact that Diet Coke, a sugar-free soft drink, is already present in the market. "In taste, Coke Zero is nearly identical to Coca Cola, something that Diet Coke is not. It was created with young adults in mind. Its look, positioning, communication is very unlike a diet drink and therefore a lot of young adults, go getters identify with the brand," Venkatesh Kini, head of Coca-Cola India told TOI.

Though diet drinks currently have about 1% share of the carbonated soft drinks market in India, Coca-Cola is banking on its new product to become a potential game changer in the category when it is introduced in the second half of this year. Launched in 2005 Globally, Coke Zero is estimated to be the seventh largest carbonated soft drink in the world today by retail value.

However, Coca-Cola's trump card might well be its foray into India's dairy segment with its milk-based drink Maaza Milky Delite. After being test marketed in Kolkata, the beverage made from milk and mango pulp will now be rolled across the country in 200-ml tetra packs, that will be priced between Rs 15 and Rs 18.

"Since, it's a milk-based product we wanted to make sure that it can withstand India's extreme weather conditions. The inputs from our experiment in Kolkata made us go back to the lab and develop a product that could survive without a cold chain," said Kini.

Kini also confirmed the relaunch of the energy drink Burn that had met with a tepid response after it was introduced in 2009. "We were selling Burn at select outlets in Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad since we were importing it. Now, we are producing it locally, so you will see us launching it across 15 other cities," he said.

Burn is sold for Rs 75 for a can and is the company's second energy Drink After Shock that was launched in 2001. While it failed to impress Indian palates, Burn is set to compete with Tzinga and Red Bull among others, in the country's Rs 600-crore energy drink market.
