BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

 

The Company’s businesses and operations are now in three broad areas: Textiles, Retail and Realty. The Company believes that sustained focus in each of these areas would unlock significant shareholder value over a period of time.

 

The textiles business, which remains a part of the parent Company, will capitalise on growing international and domestic demand for Indian textile products, both for apparel and for home textiles. The Company has also initiated measures that allow it to expand capacities by setting up subsidiaries and joint ventures, especially in the high potential area of garmenting.

 

To capitalise on opportunities in the growing retail segment, the Company has set up Alok Retail (India) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, that would manage the domestic retail initiatives through its ‘H and A’ stores, twenty of which were in operation as on 31 March 2008. The Company proposes to expand this business to a pan-India level within the current financial year.

 

Simultaneously, among its international retail initiatives, the Company has invested in Grabal Alok (UK) Limited (previously known as Hamsard 2353 Limited), a UK based retailing company having 218 stores across England, Scotland and Wales, offering value for money and quality fashion for women, men, girls, boys and babies. After the acquisition, the stores are being refurbished and repositioned as Store Twenty One to move up the value chain from a discount retailer to a value retailer.

 

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Alok Industries International Limited (AIIL), signed an exclusive license agreement with Aisle 5, LLC with its portfolio of brands like aworld, Cotton + Clay etc. for distribution of home textile products to the US supermarket chains. This opens an exciting opportunity for a very large and hitherto untapped distribution channel in one of the largest home textile markets in the world.

 

The Indian realty space offers exciting business opportunities, both for capital appreciation as well as for securing a stream of revenue. To leverage these opportunities, your Company has set up two wholly owned subsidiaries for its realty foray — Alok Infrastructure Private Limited and Alok Land Holdings Private Limited. These subsidiaries are currently involved in three projects, which have a total project cost of approximately Rs. 20000 millions, which would be funded by a mixture of debt, equity and internal accruals.

 

In addition, the Company has entered into an Agreement with the National Textile Corporation (NTC) to form a joint venture (JV) with 51% share of NTC and 49% of your Company. The JV would undertake the development of New City Mills at Mumbai and Aurangabad Textile Mills at Aurangabad, totalling 33.7 acres of land, where garment units would be set up; the surplus land would be developed for textile related activities.

 

More details about the Company’s business structure and initiatives are contained in the Management Discussion and Analysis.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: 

 

Economic Overview

 

2007-08 was a year characterised by the sustained performance of the Asian economies. Asia has outperformed global expectations, in spite of the constraints brought about by high oil prices. China reported 11.9% growth for calendar 2007 and 10.6% growth for the first quarter of calendar 2008. India grew at 9% for 2007-08. The more mature Asian economies have also grown rapidly. The growth numbers of India and China, Singapore (6.7%), Hong Kong (7.1%), Malaysia (7.1%) and Thailand (6.1%) clearly point to Asian demand being the driver for global growth. The US and Euro Zone economies, on the other hand, lagged behind, due to the sub-prime crisis creating a depressed home market and lower retail consumption, coupled with inflation and sharply increasing oil prices.

 

This was the third straight year when India witnessed 9% or above growth. The positive aspect of India’s growth is the extent to which it has been driven by widespread domestic consumer demand, which accounts for over 65% of GDP.

 

India is still estimated to grow its GDP by around 8% for 2008-09, which will make it among the fastest growing economies in the world for the fourth straight year. The economy, however, is feeling some pressure, mainly on account of double digit inflation (at about 12.4% at the end of August 2008) and high oil prices. Government of India (GoI) has made inflation control a priority issue. The other impeding factor — that of high global oil prices — also seems to be moderating, after reaching a peak of US$ 137 per barrel. If oil prices moderate further, growth prospects of the Indian economy seem even more positive.

 

Despite the Indian Rupee appreciating against the US Dollar more or less throughout 2007-08, Indian exports increased by nearly 23% to reach US$ 155 billion. According to the RBI, India’s foreign exchange reserves as on end-March 2008 were at US$ 309 billion.

 

Textile Industry Overview

 

The World Market

 

The global textile trade (including clothing) is estimated to be around US$ 530 billion, with a 4.5% share of the world’s merchandise. World demand for apparels and textiles is expected to reach US$ 700 billion by 2012, with

the US and Europe continuing to be the dominant markets for textiles and apparel, though a substantial portion of the incremental demand will be driven by the Asian countries.

 

Textile capacities in the developed economies have shrunk during the last few years, mainly due to high production and labour costs. On the other hand, Asian countries like India, China, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Cambodia have the advantages of relatively abundant raw material supplies and low wage costs. Moreover, a number of Asian manufacturers are now offering not only quality products at the right time and price, but also value added design solutions to demanding international customers. Europe is still a significant player; however, it has seen its share decrease from 50% of the world market share to about 30% over the last few years; this share is expected to reduce even further. Asian textile manufacturers in general and Indian textile manufacturers in particular are likely to capture more of the global market share in the coming years, given their increasing technological capabilities, capacities to service large volume orders and competitive pricing. Thus, over a period of time, the textile manufacturing is going to be dominated by the Asian countries.

 

India

 

India is the second largest producer of textiles and garments in the world and also the second largest producer of cotton. The textiles sector is India’s second largest employer, giving direct employment to over 35 million people and providing for indirect employment to an additional 56 million people. It contributes towards 15% of India’s exports and 4% of India’s GDP. The industry also accounts for 14% of total industrial production.

 

The Indian textiles industry is estimated at US$ 52 billion. Indian apparel and textiles are exported to over a hundred countries and have reached US$ 19 billion in 2006-07.

 

THE INDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY

 

·         Second largest producer of textiles and garments in the world – industry size US$ 52 bln

·         Directly employs 35 million people

·         Contributes to 4% of Indian GDP

·         US$ 19 bln of Indian textiles are exported to over a hundred countries

·         Expected to have strong domestic demand growth

·         Government is actively encouraging investments in the textile  sector through TUFS

 

The domestic textile market, which had US$ 33 billion of sales in 2006-07, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10%, while exports are expected to grow at 19% CAGR. By 2012, the industry is expected to be at US$ 110 billion, of which US$ 50 billion would be in exports and US$ 60 billion would be domestic sales.

 

On the export front, international retailers and private label brands are increasingly looking at India as a viable and quality supply source. India’s design and fashion abilities will add to its quest in becoming a destination of choice for textiles. Speciality fabrics is also an area where there is potential for export growth.

 

Indian exports during 2007-08 were adversely impacted by a strong rupee. To mitigate this, GoI has increased the amount of duty drawback on exports of textiles and apparels by 3% (with retrospective effect from 1 April 2007), while also lowering the rate on exports credits.

 

The domestic textiles market is expected to show strong growth over the coming years, on account of the following demand drivers.

·         Increased retail penetration. The share of organised retailing is expected to increase from 3.5% to 8% by 2010 and textiles forms 40% of the retail market.

·         Higher annual disposable income levels. The average household with annual income greater than Rs. 0.080 millions is expected to reach 48% by 2010. Coupled with the fact that the urban population is due to grow to 287 million by 2015 and that retailing growth focus is now shifting to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, the demand for textile products is also expected to grow substantially.

·         Changing demographic profile. An increase in the proportion of working women, more nuclear families and a growth in the number of earning people are all favourable indicators for increasing domestic textile demand.

·         Increasing housing units and rapid growth of the healthcare and hospitality sectors are expected to fuel demand for home textiles and furnishing items in India.

 

There is, however, a need for investment if demand projections are to be reached. The industry will need to more than double its current production base to achieve its vision targets. That translates to an investment of Rs. 1940000 millions from 2007 to 2012. It is estimated that projects totalling approximately Rs. 480000 millions have been executed or are in progress since 2007. GoI, on its part, has encouraged investments by extending the 

 

Technology Upgradation Funds Scheme (TUFS) to 2012 and it is expected that the industry will take full advantage of this extension.

OPERATIONS: TEXTILES

 

Overview

 

Subject has five major divisions — Cotton Spinning, Apparel Fabric, Home Textiles, Garments and POY and Texturising. Apart from these divisions, the Company also has retail operations.

 

Subject’s presence in the entire textile value chain (cotton procurement, yarn spinning, knitting, weaving and texturising and preparing finished home textiles) has enabled the Company to offer premium products at extremely competitive prices and thus gain market share.

 

During the year, the Company had sales of Rs. 21704.100 millions, of which domestic sales contributed Rs. 11335.200 millions and exports were Rs. 10368.900 millions. Exports comprised of 47.77% of the Company’s sales, compared to 35.17% during 2006-07.

 

Exports

 

Subject has always recognised that if it is to become a significant global player, it must be able to produce textiles that are sought after all over the world. Developing the exports market has been a key area of focus for the Company, especially after the quota system had been abolished. In 2003-04, the Company’s exports crossed Rs. 1000 millions for the first time and, in a span of five years, Subject’s exports have reached Rs. 10368.900 millions in 2007-08.

 

Today, exports contributes about 48% of the Company’s total share of business up from about 10% in 2003-04. The entire range of Subject’s products is now sold to over 56 countries. Through its constant focus on quality, design and adherence to tight delivery schedules, the Company today supplies to most of the global market leaders, to whom it has become a ‘supplier of choice’. Subject’s exports journey over the past six years.

 

Although the USA remains an important exports market for Alok, as indeed it is for every textile exporting entity, the Company recognises that an over-dependence on one market poses considerable risk. Thus, over the past few years, Subject has been exploring business opportunities in Europe, South-East Asia, Africa and South America.

 


Wovens

 

Subject has 639 apparel width weaving looms, which can produce 45.20 million metres of apparel width fabrics per annum. Subject’s textile processing units at Navi Mumbai and Vapi have 82.50 million metres of apparel-width weaving processing capacity through 2 continuous lines and 1 batch line. The product range includes all types of weaves — from coarse to superfine including plain, twill, drill, jacquard, satin and dobby, as well as value-added yarn dyed fabrics and trouser fabrics.

 

During the year, sales of woven apparel fabrics showed a marginal decline of 6.06% to reach Rs. 7546.700 millions. However, export sales of woven fabrics increased (from Rs. 588.000 millions in 2006-07 to Rs. 1085.900 millions in 2007-08) through the addition of new international customers. The increased export of apparel fabric to overseas customers is an encouraging sign and the Company proposes to further grow this segment in the near future.

 

The Company has moved up the value chain, making ‘finer counts’ yarn dyed fabric that is used for top-end shirting. Moreover, bottom weight production (for the manufacture of trousers) has also increased, with finishes such as peach finish, wrinkle-free finish and stain and oil-free finishes.

 

Subject has started manufacturing organic cotton products, which are now in demand by large department stores in the USA and Europe

 

Subject has increased focus on manufacturing speciality fabrics that are targeted towards institutional customers like the armed forces, aviation companies, fire departments, hospitals, the hospitality sector and the infrastructure industry.

During the year, knitted apparel fabrics increased by 59.09% over last year’s figures to reach Rs. 1257.000 millions. The growth has been on account of both volume growth and better realisation. This division’s share of business also increased from 4.33% to 5.79%. Exports growth has been encouraging, going up from Rs. 254.300 millions during the previous year to Rs. 632.400 millions in 2007-08.

 

Subject has increased its range in knits to encompass high value-add yarn dyed knits and fleece, which are used for sweatshirts.

 

Mileta

 

As mentioned in last year’s Management Discussion and Analysis, Subject acquired 60% of the equity of Mileta, a ‘top of the line’ integrated textile entity situated in the Czech Republic in April 2007. The company manufactures handkerchiefs, shirting fabrics, table linen and bed linen, which it sells to various countries in Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia.

For the year ended 31 March 2008, Mileta had revenues of Czech Kronor (CKR) 611 million (Rs. 1522.500 millions) .

 

Subject’s acquisition of Mileta has benefited the Company by way of technology inputs from the Czech entity, especially in value added yarn dyed fabrics. Given that this is a focus area for company, the synergies are expected to grow even more. Subsequently during the year FY 2008-09. Subject has acquired an additional 19.80% to take its stake to 79.80%.

The entire sales of home textiles products are to overseas markets, where Subject’s products are sold to some of the most discerning customers, including large retail chains and private labels.The Company exported to new markets in South America, notably Brazil. Looking to future highgrowth areas, the Company is also exploring possibilities of expanding its European market, especially in the area of high value added luxury bed linen products.

 

During the year, Subject developed new products in terms of high end luxury bed linen and home textile products from organic cotton, which are supplied to upmarket retail overseas chains and private labels. The company also plans to start supplying to some of the domestic retailers in this segment.

 

With sustained demand for Subject’s home textiles in the overseas markets, the Company has focused on excellence in execution, targeting 100% on-time delivery for all major supplies. Subject’s terry towels facility, which is likely to start from the third quarter of 2008-09, would also add to topline.
