I am constantly hunting for profitable opportunities for my Money Map VIP Trader , the Money Map Report and this column in Money Morning . And I realized months ago that India would be the one major emerging market that would notably accelerate in the second half of the year and into 2011. To take advantage of that trend, I recommended a very pro-cyclical play in my trading service, which you can only see by subscribing. But I also kept up my search and was able to find another good opportunity to recommend here. That opportunity is Tata Motors Ltd. (NYSE ADR: TTM ). About a month ago, my colleague and Money Morning Managing Editor Jason Simpkins articulated a view of the Indian economy that clearly details how that country is looking to accelerate growth . The major headwind for India has been inflation - more specifically, food prices. However, India is experiencing a normal monsoon season and will soon see its production of food increase and food prices drop - the recent spike in wheat prices notwithstanding. This drop in food prices, coupled with renewed fiscal discipline will help bring inflation down from around 10% to about 6% by year end.
