MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

 

Industry Structure and Developments

 

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW:

 

The Indian economy made a strong rebound in the FY 2009-10 as government’s stimulus packages took hold, after facing slowdown in the second half of the FY 2008-09. India expects to get back to the high-growth trajectory soon. Developed economies like US and Europe are still reeling under the impact of recession. This reflects resilience of the Indian economy.

 

It is true the Indian economy felt the lingering impact of the global slowdown in the FY 2009-10 too. For example, the export sector continued to report negative growth until November. However, a positive aspect of the global recession for India was that prices of commodities, especially crude oil tumbled. Since India meets about 80% of its crude oil requirement through imports and continues to subsidise retail sale of petroleum products like petrol, diesel, domestic LPG and PDS kerosene, the drastic fall in international crude oil market was a big relief for the government facing huge fiscal deficit.

 

However, the country had to battle with unusually high food inflation in the wake of poor monsoon, which may ease soon as the country is expected to have a good monsoon this year.

 

As per national accounts data, the Indian economy returned to strong growth level in the first quarter of FY 2009-10 and continued the strong momentum with the real GDP rising by 8.6% yoy in the Jan-March quarter. Earlier data revisions were also released; the Oct- December growth rate was revised up to 6.5%, and as a result, annual average real GDP growth rate for FY 2009-10 was 7.4% (6.7% in the previous year). This marks a resilient growth performance for India given the global economic turmoil during the period.

 

Planned Capacity Addition

 

The Government has envisaged an ambitious target of providing “Power for All” by 2012. In the Eleventh Five year plan, a capacity addition of 78,700 MW was targeted. At the end of the Tenth Plan, the installed capacity stood at 132,329 MW. The additional capacity planned in the Eleventh Plan is close to 60% of the total installed capacity at the end of the Tenth Plan.

 

OPPORTUNITY AND THREATS:

 

OPPORTUNITIES:

 

With the rapid growth of the economy in recent years, the need of adding capacity to overcome infrastructural constraints has increased. Traditionally, power, railways, roads, ports, airports and telecommunications were the exclusive domain of the government. However, policies have changed gradually over the past two decades as bridging the widening gap between demand and supply in infrastructure assumed prominence on the government’s agenda. Government has taken key policy initiatives to attract private investment into the sector.

 

Power:

 

The National Electricity Policy (NEP), 2005 recognizes electricity as a “basic human need” and targets a rise in per capita availability to 1,000 units per person by the end of 2012.

 

Per Capita power consumption has gone up from 567 units in 2003 to 704 unit in 2008. To fulfill the objectives of the NEP, a capacity addition of 78,700 MW is envisaged during the Eleventh Five Year Plan. The power sector is expected to grow at 9.5 per cent per annum.

 

In power sector, the year 2009-10 accounted for the highest capacity addition, i.e. 9,585 MW in a single year in the last 60 years. Altogether in the 11th five-year plan 62,302 MW capacity is likely to be added in the power sector, as against the target of 78,700 MW. As stated by Hon’ble Minister of Power, Mr. Sushil Kumar Shinde, while addressing the Construction Summit 2010, the government is now planning to set the target of achieving 1,00,000 MW capacity addition in the 12th Five Year Plan. 60% of which is expected to be added by the private sector.

 

With the Indian economy on a high growth trajectory, bridging demand-supply gap is going to be a serious challenge in coming years. The Electricity Act, 2003 stipulates long-term open access to private power producers for inter-state transmission of electricity. The sector has attracted private investment.

 

Power trading market in the country is also growing fast. This offers scope for private developers to sell power in the merchant market through short-term contracts.

 

The present operating capacity of the group is 1,349 MW, which is expected to increase to 9311 mw on completion of the 7,962 MW under construction. There are major opportunities emerging for Lanco in this sector keeping in mind the power addition targets for the XI and XII Five Year Plans

 

 

Transmission and Distribution:

 

India possesses a vast opportunity to grow in the field of power generation, transmission, and distribution. A huge capital investment is required to meet this requirement. This has resulted in many power generation, transmission, and distribution companies to establish operations in the country under the PPP program. There are strong opportunities in transmission network ventures with an additional 60,000 circuit kilometers of transmission network is expected by 2012 translating to a total investment opportunity of about US$ 200 billion.

 

Power Trading:

 

The calendar year 2009 witnessed consolidation of the short-term power market in India. The short-term power market not only grew in absolute size in volume terms, but its share as a percentage of total electricity generation in the country also grew noticeably.

 

On price front, although the year witnessed highest ever prices for electricity transacted through power exchanges and trading licensees, especially in the months of April and August 2009; overall the weighted average price of electricity transacted through short term market in the year 2009 was lower as compared to the price in the year 2008.

 

Of the total electricity generation in India in 2009, the short-term power market comprises only 8 per cent. The balance 92 percent of generation is being procured mainly by distribution companies through long-term contracts.

 

In volume terms (kWh) the size of the short term market in India, excluding UI and direct bilateral sale between distribution companies, was about 30.6 billion kWh (units) in the year 2009. As compared to the volume of electricity transacted through short term market in the year 2008, this was about 20.3 per cent higher.

 

The weighted average price of electricity transacted through power exchanges was Rs. 5.73 per kWh and through trading licensees was Rs. 6.41 per kWh in the year 2009. The corresponding values for the year 2008 were Rs. 7.57 per kWh and Rs. 7.04 per kWh, respectively.

 

There has been robust growth in the electricity trading from 2005-06 which is evident from the chart. Trading has increaed from 14 billion units in 2005-06 to 27 billion units in 2009-10. Lanco Power Trading Limited, the power trading arm of LITL, performed well during the year 2009-10 and traded total 4,269 Mus of power with a net turnover of Rs. 19,712 million.

 

Roads:

 

The Eleventh Five Year Plan places high priority to the expeditious completion of works approved under the different phases of the NHDP. For the roads and bridges sector, the Eleventh Five Year Plan envisages a total investment of Rs. 3141520.000 million. Of this, the shares of the Centre, the States and the private sector are expected to be 34231.800 and 34 per cent, respectively.

 

With a view to expediting the progress of the NHDP, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has set a target of completion of 20 km of NHs per day, which translates to 35,000 km during the next five years (2009-14) at the rate of 7,000 km per year. The NHAI formulated Work Plans (Work Plan I & II) for awarding 12,000 km each during the years 2009-10 and 2010-11. These Plans lay down a specific timeframe for various activities and are being monitored very closely at various levels. Work Plan I (2009-10) covers balance stretches of NHDP Phases II, III and V. So far, 14 projects for a length of about 1,300 km have already been awarded, bids for 20 projects covering a length of about 2,000 km have been received and are under process and another 23 projects for a length of about 1,700 km are presently on offer.

 

To fund the implementation of NHDP, a part of the fuel cess is allocated to the NHAI. The fund allocated from the cess is leveraged to borrow additional funds from the domestic market.

The Government of India has also taken loans for financing various projects under the NHDP from the World Bank (US$ 1,965 million), Asian Development Bank (ADB) (US$ 1,605 million) and Japan Bank for International Cooperation (32,060 million yen), which are passed on to the NHAI partly in the form of grant and partly as loan. The NHAI has also negotiated a direct loan of US $165 million from the ADB for one of its projects.

 

Currently Lanco is developing two road projects and expects more opportunities in this area. Both the road projects will commenceoperation from FY 2010-11.

 

 

Real Estate:

 

In FY 2009-10, all the major players in the real estate business strived to overcome from the downturn of economic scenario of 2009. However, long-term growth story is expected to remain intact, as the rise in standards of living and disposable incomes will lead to a robust demand for Real Estate, both Residential and Commercial properties.

 

According to the Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India (CREDAI), the affordable housing segment is set to play an important role in India’s real estate sector in 2010 on the back of an uptick in demand.

 

Moreover, 2010 is expected to be a positive year for the real estate sector. The revival is expected to be driven by infrastructure growth, which, in turn, can accelerate real estate activities both in the residential as well as commercial spaces.

 

Currently, the Company is developing Lanco Hills at Hyderabad and are concentrating on this project alone in realty.
