The world's largest democracy and free market continues to shine as well as smile in spite of occasional hiccups. The Country's GDP has for the first time in the last ten years experienced a consistent average growth rate of 8% per annum. However, the last time when it happened in the mid nineties, the invest rates were significantly lower, which projected a GDP growth rate of 6-6.50%. This is the key driver of progress and it is crucial that invest rates have increased so as to sustain an annual GDP growth rate of 8%.  


This impressive economic growth was the result of a general improvement in disposable incomes, driving demand across various industry sectors. This impressive economic scenario is likely to lead to progressive reforms, reduction in tariffs, growing Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and more importantly, a much needed thrust in infrastructure and if all these fall into place, then the Country's economy will be on a sustained high.  
 
The high growth trajectory will indeed have far reaching implications on the domestic market. Per capita income would rise; FDI would bring in a slew of global players, household consumption patterns would shift, organized retail would become more apparent and cars, durables, healthcare, education, branded goods, would get a substantial boost. 

 
The cautionary steps would be to safeguard the economy against growing inequalities of income and meet the requirements of infrastructure and real estate, which are important challenges to India's growth strategy. 
 
To capitalise on the changing scenario of emerging India, the Company has emerged from a pure commodity player to a value chain enhancer with emphasis on asset creation for long term sustainability and locking higher margins. The company focuses on five business sectors for future growth and profitability: Power, Oil & Gas, Real Estate, Agro and Metals & Minerals with shipping venture as a backbone to its various businesses. The management's views on the Company's performance and outlook for each of these segments are discussed below

It has extensively leveraged on its coal trading, power trading and logistics expertise and now extended its sphere of activities to coal mining and power generation. This will make it one of the largest integrated players in the Power Sector in the ensuing years. 

 
Coal Trading: Coal is one of the primary sources of energy, accounting for about 55 per cent of the total energy consumption in the country. China and India together account for almost three-quarters of the increase in coal demand in developing countries and two-thirds of the increase in world coal demand. During the year under review, the Company has established global alliances for quantity and quality commitment from large miners in Indonesia and China. The Company has entered in to long-term arrangement for supply of imported coal, which has lesser Ash content and better calorific value for higher productivity.

The Company has already initiated steps to undertake the mining operations in a phased manner in the ensuing year. The Company has also been selected by Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RVUNL) for carrying out coal mining operations for its power plant. Indigenous coal mining shall accordingly form an important segment of the overall power sector thrust area for the coming years.

Food Grain Silos -Pioneering Agri Logistics: 

 
India is a food grain producing and consuming country in the world. Modernization has taken place in farming to enhance the production but post harvesting technology and improper storage leads to substantial wastage. This wastage can be reduced with proper initiatives towards storage management and logistics facility. The Government of India had taken revolutionary measures and invited tender from private parties to build, own and operate food grain storage and logistics circuits with take or pay commitment from Food Corporation of India for next 20 years.

Shipping as a backbone to AEL Businesses: 

 
Ship Owning and Chartering: 

 
Shipping is the largest and the most important mode of international transportation for the country. Around 95% by trade volumE and 70% by trade value of India's overseas trade is using sea-route. To capitalize on this growing segment and to supplement its existing strong global trading operations which are largely sea borne, the Company has decided to venture into the shipping operations and has already placed orders with a Korean shipyard to build two capsize vessels with a capacity of 175,000 DWT each with expected delivery by end of 2010.

The business focus has been to improve the trade margins, weeding out those transactions, where the profitability has not been enough to justify the trading risk. The overall operating margins have improved.

The changing business environment is throwing up exciting opportunities which can be converted into successful business ideas by creative and efficient management. The Company, today, has one of the most committed and highly experienced team of professionals in its ranks to man the various tasks of a growing conglomerate. 

 
Risk and Concerns: 

 
Risk relating to International Trading Operations: 

 

The Company's trading operations are international in nature and the Company also proposes to operate shipping vessels worldwide. These international operations involve additional risks, including the possibility of restrictive actions by foreign governments, including vessel seizure; foreign taxation and changes in foreign tax laws; limitations on repatriation of earnings; changes in currency exchange rates; local sabotage and ownership laws and requirements; nationalisation and expropriation risks; loss of contract rights; and political instability, war and civil disturbances or other risks that may limit or disrupt markets in which the Company operates. Further, the Company's foreign subsidiaries may face governmentally imposed restrictions on their ability to transfer funds to their parent company. The Company has initiated adequate insurance covers to hedge against these risks in business. These are assessed on a regular basis and the Company takes the best possible coverage of insurance from well-established sovereign enterprise at minimal costs. 

 
A part of the Company's trading operations is located in markets in the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region. The legal and regulatory regimes in these markets are less certain than in more developed markets and may be subject to unforeseen changes. At times, the interpretation or application of laws and regulations is unclear; neither is the content of applicable laws and regulations always readily available to the public. The Company believes in complying with the laws of the land in letter and spirit and is in the process of developing internal control tool for monitoring compliances on real-time basis. 

 
Foreign Exchange Risk: 

 
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risks by virtue of being an exporter and importer of its products. Depreciation of the rupee against the US dollar or of the US dollar against other currencies in which the Company conducts its business may increase the cost to the Company of servicing and repaying its foreign currency borrowings and other financing arrangements.


 
The Company's policy is to systematically hedge its long term foreign exchange risks as well as short term exposures in line with its hedging policy. The Company has also created a forex management team. The Company manages this position through an ongoing risk analysis of every forex transactions. In addition, the Company has laid down standard operating procedures to de-risk itself from currency volatility. The Company could indeed benefit from a strengthening in the domestic currency against the US dollar. 

 
Funding Risk: 

 
The Company may not be able to put together adequate low-cost resources to finance its growth plans, dampening profitability. 

 
Over the years, the Company has ploughed back earnings into the business, creating a strong financial statement. The Company maintains a history of timely repayments of all external liabilities. These factors allow it to collect funds at rates, which are better than industry standards. 

 
In view of prudent and conservative risk mitigating strategy by the Company, it does not perceive interest rate fluctuations as a significant risk having any material impact on its profitability. 

 

Economic Risk: 

 
While the macro economic and industry outlook are stable and positive, factors such as spiraling energy prices, higher inflationatory pressures, strengthening dollar, revenue slippages leading to larger fiscal deficit, political uncertainties etc. could change the business environment. 

 

 

Revenues: 
 
The Company has recorded total income to the tune of Rs. 101513.600
Millions during the year 2006-07 with an increase of 9.00% in comparison to corresponding period in previous year. 

 

Profits and profitability: 

 
During the year, the Company generated earnings before inter,st, depreciation, tax and appropriation (EBIDTA) of Rs.3495.400
Millions compared to Rs. 2718.200 Millions, an annualized growth of 29 per cent. Net profit margin was significantly higher by 27 percent. Earnings per share increased by 21 per cent on annualized basis to Rs. 6.35/-on face value of Re. 1 each.

The Management is pleased with the financial milestones achieved by the Company during the year under review and foresees eminent growth potentials in the years to come. 

 

Revenue: 
 
The Company has recorded total income to the tune of Rs. 169532.200
