Management Discussion & Analysis:

 

Industry structure and developments

 

Movement of cargo through containerized mode has been increasing and is growing at a faster pace than the overall growth in export Import trade. During the last decade, the export-import trade has grown at a CAGR of 6.9 %, while during the same period, movement in containerized form has registered a CAGR of I 3.5 %. The share of containerized cargo to total cargo has also increased from 7.8 % in 1995 to over 14.3 % in 2005.

 

JNPT accounted for more than 50 % of the total containerized traffic handled out of India. The third Container terminal at JNPT, which has commenced operations in 2006, will increase the capacity of JNPT from 2.40 Million TEUs to 3.70 Million TEUs. Addition of these capacities will enable JNPT to maintain its dominant market share, which will also result in the expansion of the CFS Market.

 

Opportunities and threats

 

Growth of container traffic, private sector participation in ports and movement of containers by rail, liberalization of Government policies and continuous increase in the country's foreign trade, present the company with new opportunities for expansion and increase in profitability. The Company continues to prune its operating costs by owning transport and handling equipment which are operated by contractors. The revitalization of the Inland Container Depot and major development of rail siding at Garhi Harsaru, near Gurgaon were completed in 2005-06. The Company has paid Rs.500 million towards registration fees to Indian Railways and obtained "In Principle" approval in Feb 2006 for movement of own container trains on All India basis.

 

Competition from existing and new entrants and managing the geographical / capacity expansion

present the company with new challenges.

 

Segment-wise / Product-wise performance

 

The Company's entire business is from CFS & ICD operations. There are no other primary / secondary segments in the Company's business.

 

Outlook

 

The growth in container traffic during 2005-06 is expected to continue during 2006-2007. The construction of new warehouse at CFS at Navi Mumbai will be completed in 2006-2007, resulting in additional capacity. On 20 April 2006, Northern Railways issued a circular, notifying the opening of the Rail siding of the Company at Garhi Harsaru, Gurgaon for inward / outward movement of containers with immediate effect. The Company had earlier signed an agreement with Container Corporation of India Limited in Sep 2005 to work jointly towards business development and to facilitate EXIM trade by providing ICD facility and road connectivity to various gateway ports

from the northern hinterland. The first full rake train, carrying containers for exports rolled out of Garhi Harsaru on 3 May 2006. The expanded capacity of CFS and the rail project are expected to have positive impact on the Company's profitability.
