OPERATIONAL REVIEW:
Investment in the
infrastructure sector has been progressively growing.
Recently, the Government
has announced an investment of about USD 320 billion in the next 5 years for
infrastructure development in India. Out of this investment about 44 percent is
envisaged to be brought in through public-private partnership. The key sector
identified within infrastructure is roads, ports, railways and power.
This is the 17th year of
the Company's involvement in infrastructure sector in India and with the
significant growth which this sector has recorded, in the last few years the
Company has also grown in tandem.
The disbursements and
profits have grown substantially, inspite of the fact there has been increased
competition from major players in the financial sector.
The Company continues to
maintain its market leadership in the infrastructure equipment financing
business. Some of the key highlights of the Company's performance during the
year under review are:
·
New Business
done was Rs. 43044.900 Millions as compared to Rs. 24807.600 Millions during
the last year, an increase of 74 percent.
·
The
total asset under management of the company increased to Rs. 50826.000 Millions
as against Rs. 33930.600 Millions last year, a growth of about 50
percent.
·
The
gross profit (before depreciation, bad debts, provision and tax) grew to Rs.
1302.000 Millions from Rs. 837.000 Millions last year, a jump of 56
percent.
·
Profit
before taxation increased to Rs. 857.900 Millions as against Rs. 682.000
Millions in the last year, an increase of around 26 percent.
·
Net
profit after taxation increased to Rs. 792.500 Millions as against Rs.484.200
Millions in the last year, an increase of around 64 percent.
·
Capital
adequacy of the Company is 14.25 percent as on 31st March, 2007.
The Company has complied
with all the norms prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India including the newly
introduced Fair practices, Anti money laundering & Know the customer (KYC)
guidelines and also all the mandatory accounting standards issued by The
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. It has adopted a sound and forward
looking accounting policy of providing for non performing assets in terms of
the guidelines laid down by the Foreign Financial Institutions, which are more
stringent than the guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India.
JOINT VENTURE WITH BNP PARIBAS LEASE
GROUP:
On 31st May, 2007, the
Board has approved a strategic partnership with BNP Paribas Lease Group (BPLG)
for the equipment finance and insurance broking business in India. BPLG is a
100 percent subsidiary and the leasing arm of BNP Paribas, a major European
Bank having a long presence in India. BPLG is a European market leader
specialised in asset finance and financing investments made by companies and
professionals, either through the intermediary of its partners (manufacturers,
importers and vendors of equipment) or directly to the customers. BPLG has been
in this business for the last 50 years with a global balance sheet of Euro 15
billion and important business presence in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany,
Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain and the UK. SREI
Infrastructure Development Finance Limited (SIDFL), which is currently a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, shall be the Joint Venture company where the
equipment financing business will be carried out along with BPLG. The Joint
Venture Company, SIDFL will have 50 percent equity by BPLG and 50 percent by
SREI. The management has initiated proper steps in consultation with reputed
investment bankers and solicitors to comply with all statutory and legal
regulations. BPLG would infuse a sum of Rs. 7750 Millions towards its capital
contribution. It is expected that the networth of the Company after the
subscription by BPLG would be Rs. 8000 Millions. It is also expected that this
tie-up would help SREI to expand its equipment financing business much faster
as it would enable the Company to raise funds at lower cost and also expand the
funding sources.
SREI will gain from the international expertise of BPLG and will expand the
equipment finance portfolio from infrastructure equipment to agricultural,
medical and other class of equipments where BPLG has their expertise.
The Company will continue
to be involved in infrastructure financing and development. It will be in a
position to expand its business with the available capital in infrastructure
sector. The Company will continue to manage the advisory and investment
banking, venture capital business through the subsidiaries. Quipo
Infrastructure Equipment Limited, the equipment bank and the overseas
operations will be under SREI.
The Company is quite
confident that this Joint Venture will result in higher profits and higher
growth of business without diluting the equity thereby creating higher
shareholder value.
CAPITAL:
In the year 2000,
the Company had issued 52,66,075 unsecured subordinated bonds of Rs. 100/-
each, bearing four detachable tradable warrants per bond. Each of these
warrants entitled the holder to one equity share of the Company. Such
applications were required to be made on 25th August, 2005 or on each day
falling 3,6,9,12,15,18,21 and 24 months thereafter. The price for allotment of
equity shares against the warrants is fixed at a 40 percent discount to the
average of the daily highest and lowest prices of the Company's shares on the
National Stock Exchange during the preceding six calendar months, subject to a
floor of Rs. 10 and a cap of Rs. 500 per equity share. The maximum number of
equity shares that could be allotted against the warrants was
2,10,64,300.
During the year 2006-07,
the Company allotted 1,080 equity shares to the warrant holders who exercised
their options and as on 31st March, 2007, only 9,608 warrants remain
outstanding in issuance.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND FUTURE PLANS:
Government of India
realises that infrastructure creation leads to generation of employment and
also reduction in poverty. Thus, despite what the outlook is on the domestic
and international fronts, government will go ahead full steam on building
infrastructure assets. Government realises that addition to infrastructure
capacity is the only way to maintain the high growth momentum. As per
government estimates, investments to the tune of USD 320 to 350 billion would
be required only in the infrastructure sectors over the next five years. This
unfolds exciting opportunities for the Company.
Government remains
committed to the development of rural India so that the benefits of economic
reforms reach the masses. The Bharat Nirman' programme is aimed at developing
rural infrastructure namely roads, housing, irrigation, water supply,
electrification and telecom. This year's budget has witnessed an increase of
31.6 percent in the outlay for Bharat Nirman to Rs. 246030 Millions. The corpus
for Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF-XIII) has been raised to Rs.
12,0000 Millions from last year's Rs. 100000 Millions. A separate window for
rural roads would continue with a corpus of Rs. 40000 Millions.
The National Highway
Development Programme (NHDP) has come a long way. The Golden Quadrangle is
nearing completion and work is in full swing on the North-South and East-West
corridors. The N-S-E-W corridor is scheduled to be completed by year 2009. In
totality, the project is aimed to construct, widen, rebuild more than 40,000 km
of NH involving a total investment of over Rs. 2 Million. The preferred mode
for undertaking such projects is the build-operate-transfer (BOT) mode and its
variants. Budgetary support for NHDP has been enhanced to Rs. 106670 Millions
in 2007-08. In addition to NHDP, there are the ongoing Special Accelerated Road
Development Programme spanning 7639 km of roads in North-East and the Rs. 600
billion Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana whose target deadline is year 2010-11.
Hectic activity in road building is also taking place at the state and city
levels.
The power sector will be a
focus area for the government during 2007-08 because the performance of this
sector has been much below expectation. The reduced target for capacity
addition in the Tenth Plan (2002-07) was 41,110 MW. Actual accretion was only
21,200 MW. Besides, aggregate technical and commercial (ATC) losses are in the
range of 50 percent. Despite such ground-level problems, government has laid down
3 ambitious missions - (a) power availability for all by year 2012, (b)
electrification of all villages by year 2010, and (c) access to electricity for
all households by year 2010. The installed capacity by the end of Tenth Plan
stands at 128,000 MW. Government aims to achieve an installed capacity of
200,000 MW by power utilities by the end of Eleventh Plan (2007-12). Seven
ultra-mega projects (minimum capacity 4,000 mw) are under process. Government
will also facilitate setting up of merchant power plants by private developers
and private participation in transmission projects. The Accelerated Power
Development and Reforms Project (APDRP), aimed at reducing ATC losses, has been
restructured to cover all district headquarters and towns with a population of
50,000 and more. Budget outlay for APDRP for 2007-08 has been enhanced to Rs.
8000 Millions. Also, allocation for the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran
Yojana has been increased to Rs. 39830 Millions.
Ports figure prominently in
government's development agenda. Cargo traffic in the 12 major ports and 185
non-major ports is estimated to rise to 877 MTPA by 2011-12 from 576 MTPA
registered in 2005-06. Containerised cargo is expected to grow at 15.5 percent
per annum. The National Maritime Development Programme (NMDP) aims to invest
over USD 18 billion in two phases. Phase I has identified 276 projects in the
major ports to be completed by year 2012 that would entail an investment of
over USD 12 billion. New berths are to be created on BOT basis.
SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES:
During the year under
review, the Company, in order to cash on profitable leasing business
internationally has invested further Euro 7,00,000 in the Share capital of IIS
International Infrastructure Services GmbH, the subsidiary Company incorporated
in Germany.
During the year under
review, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary company in the name

NBFIs IN INDIA:
The role of Non-Banking Financial Institutions (NBFIs) in
asset creation and infrastructure development is well acknowledged today,
especially in sectors which are considered to be growth engines of the economy,
namely infrastructure, transportation, small & medium enterprises (SMEs),
rural sectors, etc. For long, NBFIs have been the primary conduit for credit
delivery to the dispersed, underbanked and under-serviced sections of the
economy. They have thrived on their inherent strengths of wider reach, intimate
local knowledge, credit origination and appraisal skills, suitably trained
collection machinery, close monitoring of borrowers and customised client service.
The NBFIs have evolved over the years. Unlike in the past, presently they are
very well regulated and supervised by the RBI. The late 90s shakeout among the
Indian NBFIs witnessed the survival of few large conservatively operating institutions.
These weathered the crisis and since then have grown and expanded their
business notwithstanding keen competition Some multinationals too have entered
and set up NBFIs focusing on the areas of equipment and customer finance. Stiff
competition is also being encountered by the NBFIs from banks and other
financial institutions, both domestic and foreign, in their traditional areas
of retail lending.
In order to enable the NBFIs to gear up for future challenges, the RBI has
taken a number of steps. This is indeed a welcome trend. RBI is now keen on
creating a facilitating environment for NBFIs rather than just binding them
under strict regulations. To address their need for long term funding, RBI has
somewhat eased NBFIs' access to ECBs for infrastructure equipment
financing.
Fixed Assets:
Freehold Land,
Buildings, Furniture & fixtures, Motor Vehicles, Plant and Machinery etc.
