Management Discussion and Analysis

Review of the Economy

The Indian economy, characterized by strong macro-economic fundamentals, has drawn the world's attention as one of the fastest growing economies with future promise. The nation has continued on its high growth trajectory registering an impressive growth of 9.4% during fiscal year 2006-2007. The average GDP growth rate reported for the last 4 years is a record 8.6 percent. The industrial sector remained buoyant, driven by robust performances from manufacturing, services and construction sectors. Foreign trade has been growing at an average rate of 27% during the past 3 years. Savings and investment rates are estimated at a healthy 32.4% and 33.8% of GDP respectively. It is heartening to note that foreign direct investment during the fiscal year 2006-2007 has doubled to USD 15 billion and is expected to scale up with further opening up of core and infrastructure sectors.

 

Inflation has been moderate and is expected to be contained at the present level of around 5%, supported by a strong rupee, timely monetary policy measures of the RBI and a buoyant economy. International credit rating agencies S and P and Moodys have raised India's credit outlook to investment grade, influenced largely by accelerated growth record and astute handling of debt by the government. The only sore note has been the sluggish growth of agriculture, averaging at 2.3% during the 10lh five year plan.

 

The global economy recorded a growth of 5.4% during the year 2006 with an improved US economy recording a growth of 3.3%. However, some moderation in growth is forecast for the year 2007 with the global growth rate falling to 4.9% and the US economy slowing to 2.2%. The oil rich countries, particularly in Middle-East and South East Asian region, have accelerated investment in the infrastructure and construction sectors. With growing cooperation amongst the oil producing countries, thanks to windfall gains from stable high oil prices, joint efforts are being initiated for ramping up exploration facilities and distribution network.

 

Infrastructure and Capital Goods Industry

In 2006-2007, Indian industry had a strong growth of over 11%, ably supported by a 12% growth in manufacturing. Reflecting the buoyant capacity addition in the economy, the capital goods industry grew by a healthy 17%.

 

A notable feature of the current growth phase is the significant rise in the rate of capital formation which has moved from 25% in 2002- 2003 to 32% of GDP in 2005-2006. However, the rate of capital formation needs to further accelerate so as avoid capacity constraints. The government has planned a series of measures to encourage private sector participation and increase spending on infrastructure. Efforts have been made to streamline procedures and introduce innovative schemes to exploit the country's surging foreign exchange reserves.

 

In the core sectors, power generation has grown by 7.3% during 2006-2007. In the ensuing year, output would be higher with many mega projects in the offing under both private and public sectors. Crude oil production and throughput by refineries have increased over the previous year by 6% and 12% respectively. Capacities are being ramped up in Railways, Roads, Ports, Airports and Urban infrastructure to sustain the momentum of double digit growth in the industrial sector.

 

The estimated investment requirement for infrastructure has now been pegged at around USD 450 billion against the earlier estimate of USD 320 billion during the 11th five year plan. This is both a challenge and an opportunity for the government and the private sector. Sustained efforts are required to improve every segment of infrastructure to sustain the growth momentum of the economy.

 

Business Performance

Buoyed by economic growth, within India and outside, the Company has yet again produced a robust performance in 2006-2007. The pace of infrastructure development has picked up in the country and in the neighbouring regions. Industries such as crude oil production and refining, gas processing, cement, steel and other metals have achieved smart growth during the year. The favorable all-round economic climate has opened up opportunities for the capital goods sector including construction and heavy engineering manufacturing companies. As a result, all business divisions of the Company registered impressive performance during the year. The upturn was equally commendable for the Group's Subsidiary and Associate companies, particularly in information technology, financial services and machinery manufacturing sectors.

 

Strategic Initiatives

The Company and the Group have consolidated growth oriented initiatives under the "LAKSHYA" program during the year. Creation of new facilities and expansion in existing manufacturing facilities have been initiated across all business divisions. Divisions have undertaken many operational excellence programs so as to improve margins and become more competitive through product positioning in international markets. In order to scale up the business in hydrocarbon mid and down stream sector, a separate vertical has been formed, which combines the entire gamut of engineering, procurement, construction and project management services. Creation of similar business verticals in other business lines of the Company is underway. Initiatives for talent attraction and retention have also been accelerated during the year to capitalize on emerging business

opportunities.

 

The Company has successfully completed the amalgamation of residual electrical business taken over from Datar Switchgear Limited, thereby adding new product portfolio in the medium tension switchgears. With a view to building a large capital base in the infrastructure subsidiaries, the Company infused fresh capital during the year. Power has emerged a thrust area for Subject which has built expertise in power plant construction and erection. In order to establish a strong presence in the international and local power space, the Company has entered into a joint venture with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Limited for manufacture of super critical boilers. In order to reap the benefits of manufacturing and easy access to new markets, the Company has set up facilities for manufacture of industrial valves and rubber processing machinery in China and for switchboards in Saudi Arabia. The Company is presently exploring new business opportunities in the field of Water and Railways. It has made a modest beginning in the ship building space and is currently executing orders for ships at its Hazira Works.

 

 All the above strategic initiatives will ensure that the Company is able to harness emerging growth potential. Considering the impressive track record of the Company during the past few years, the confidence level of the businesses in achieving the challenging "LAKSHYA" targets has soared.

 

In this backdrop, the management is pleased to present the analysis of Division-wise performance for the year 2006-2007 and its outlook for the future. This outlook is based on the present assessment of the current business environment. It may vary depending on the changes in the underlying economic environment, both in India and abroad.
