During the year, the Company has registered a quantum jump in Sales. Income from operations is Rs. 3808.793 millions as compared to Rs.3220.121 millions in the previous year showing increase of 18.28%. The increase in revenue is mainly due to increase in revenue from freight forwarding services and project logistics.

Profit before Depreciation, Interest and Tax (PBDIT) has increased from Rs. 327.979 millions for the year ended March 31, 2010 to Rs. 366.176 millions showing the increase of 11.65%, mainly on account of increase in operations. During FY 2011, the Company has recorded PBDIT of 9.58% of the income from operations as against 10.17% during FY 2010. The reduction in operating margin is due to increase in operating cost. During the year, Profit after Tax (PAT) has increased from Rs. 205.412 millions for the FY 2010 to Rs. 223.901 millions in FY 2011 due to increase in income from operations.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

 

The global economic and financial situation in the last year recovered slowly. The large fiscal deficits and high debt ratios coupled with slow economic growth, created unsettling conditions for businesses and had the potential for causing great volatility in financial markets.GDP growth figures for Q4, 2010-11, highlight an unmistakable downward trend. While in Q1, 2010-11, GDP grew by 9.3 percent, in Q4, 2010-11, GDP growth came down to 7.8

percent. While consumption demand still held, a sharp decline in growth of investments was seen. Growth in Gross Fixed Capital Formation [GFCF] had dipped from 17.4 percent in Q1, 2010-11 to 0.4 percent in Q4, 2010-11.

 

OUTLOOK 2011 -2012

 

Economy is expected to develop at 8.2 percent in 2011-12. Industry grew at 7.9 percent in 2010-11, likely to nurture at 7.1 percent in 2011-12. The global economic and financial situation is not likely to improve according to the outlook. The expected growth rate of 8.2 percent, although inferior to the earlier year, must be treated as high and respectable, given the current world situation.

 

INDIAN LOGISTICS INDUSTRY

 

STRUCTURE AND SIZE

 

Logistics in India involves a complex chain of activities, spread across multiple modes of transportation and infrastructure points. The complexity of the logistics network is further exacerbated by the fact that the industry is

highly fragmented, with several small and mid-sized players dispersed across multiple regional pockets, asset types and services, and with very few if any, players in India able to offer customers true end to end services. Also, in many key logistics-intensive sectors such as agriculture, oil and gas, engineering, consumer products, retail – the source and destination points for cargo are often multiple and located in regions with poor access by any mode of transport. Globally, the logistics industry is valued at US$ 3.5 trillion. The U.S., which contributes to over 25% of the global industry value, spends close to 9% of its GDP on logistic services. The Indian logistics Industry is presently estimated at US$ 90 billion. (CII) The industry has generated employment for 45 million people in the country in comparison with the IT and ITeS sector which employs approximately 4.3 million people. It is forecast to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 8% over the next three to five years. Third Party Logistics (3PL) Solutions, is slated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 16% from 2007-10. Consequently, 3PL service providers are expected to corner an increased share of the Indian Logistics pie, from 6% in FY06 to 13% in FY11, at a CAGR of 25% (CII).

 

GROWTH DRIVERS

 

The primary growth drivers of this industry are as under:

 

Investments in the Power and infrastructure sector – There are planned investments of upto US$ 350 billion in these sectors which mean an increase in the logistics business.

 

Streamlining of the indirect tax structure - The introduction of Value Added Tax (VAT) and the proposed introduction of a singular Goods and Services Tax (GST) are expected to significantly reduce the number of warehouses that manufacturers are required to maintain in different states. This will result in a substantial increase in demand for integrated logistics solutions.

 

Good trade growth - Strong economic growth and liberalization have led to considerable increase in domestic and international trade volumes over the past five years. Consequently, the requirement for transportation, handling and warehousing is growing at a good pace and is driving the demand for integrated logistics solutions.

 

Globalization of manufacturing systems - Globalization of manufacturing systems added to the advancements in technology are increasingly compelling companies across verticals to concentrate on their core competencies and thus avail the cost saving potential of outsourcing. This is expected to contribute to an increase in the need for integrated logistic solutions, which is the niche of every Third Party Logistics service (3PL Services) provider.

 

GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES AND FUTURE INDUSTRY PROSPECTS GROWTH IN INDIAN ECONOMY, KEY LOGISTICS SECTORS AND EXPORTS – IMPORTS (EXIM)

 

The growth in India’s GDP directly translated into the growth in the Logistics sector, there being a 2x relation between the growth in GDP and the logistics industry. The post recession resurgence of domestic sectors like retail and manufacturing is expected to drive volume growth again.

 

RISING OUTSOURCING AND CONSOLIDATION

 

Companies in India currently outsource an estimated 52% of logistics, but many more companies are increasingly

considering outsourcing and third party logistics (3PL) models as they seek to reduce costs and focus on their core businesses.

 

RAPID SUPPLY SIDE CHANGES ARE HELPING TO DRIVE AWARENESS AND DEMAND

 

Considerable private investments in modern warehousing and a significant improvement in transportation systems – along with the widespread adoption of warehouse management systems, GPS-enabled trucks and other technology – is leading to many more logistics end users moving away from ‘store and transport’ mindsets to true supply chain management with a focus on cost and efficiency. As more multinational companies and logistics service providers increase their scale of operations in India, there is a rising demand for world class logistics infrastructure and services – even among domestic corporate.

 

REGULATORY CHANGES ARE HELPING TO DRIVE PRIVATE PARTICIPATION AND EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS

 

Key regulatory changes in recent years are creating an enabling environment for growth in logistics industry. The

impending introduction of goods and service tax (GST) aimed at bringing in a uniform tax regime across all India’s

states, is expected to lead to widespread rationalization of warehousing space in India and is likely to result in fundamental structural changes in the industry. Government incentives to infrastructure developers – in the form

of tax breaks and incentives – are expected to further improve supply-side efficiencies. The privatization of the container rail segment and private –public partnership programs in key sectors have opened up new logistics segments for private participation.

On the global front, Asian markets were trading mix while the European markets were trading in red on pessimistic note. The optimism over Europe's sovereign debt solution weakened on report that leaders were split over the terms of Greece's latest bailout. As many as 7 of the euro zone's 17 member nations have opposed to terms in Greece's second bailout of 109 billion euros, arguing that private creditors take a bigger write-down on their bond holdings. Back home, the NSE Nifty and BSE Sensex were trading below their psychological 4,950 and 16,500 levels, respectively. The market breadth on the BSE was negative in the ratio of 1042:1623 while, 132 scrips remained unchanged. The BSE Sensex is currently trading at 16,406.04 down by 117.99 points or 0.71% after trading as high as 16,663.26 and as low as 16,372.64. There were 8 stocks advancing against 22 declines on the index. The broader indices were trading on a weak note; the BSE Mid cap index eased 0.74% while Small cap shed 0.77%. On the BSE sectoral space, IT up 0.62%, FMCG up 0.57%, Realty up 0.46% and Health Care up 0.11% were the only gainers while Capital Goods down 2.07%, Metal down 2.04%, Consumer Durables down 2.03%, Auto down 1.57% and Bankex down 1.44% were the major losers in the space. DLF up 2.67%, ITC up 1.01%, Infosys up 0.90%, ONGC up 0.60% and NTPC up 0.45% were the major gainers on the Sensex, while JP Associates down 4.64%, Hindalco down 3.38%, Maruti Suzuki down 2.89%, L&T down 2.78% and ICICI Bank down 2.58% were the major losers on the index. Meanwhile, hinting that the government may review the planned targets of power generation, the Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises, Praful Patel has said that, "A course correction will be taken up by the Government to avoid a situation where the power generation capacity of units exceeds the market demand". To review the power generations would involve the Ministries of Finance, Industry and Commerce and Planning Commission. Expressing the concern over planned targets Patel said, "my concern is that our planned targets of power generation have not been achieved. Our own projects are getting delayed and this is a result of various factors such as environment clearance, land acquisition and allocation of various resources." This is creating a situation where, on the one hand, power generation capacity is getting affected and, on the other hand, all the equipment which is being manufactured is not finding a market, he added. For the current five year plan (2007-12) the government has targeted to generate power around 0.1  millions megawatt, however, presently, India has not been able to cross even 60,000 megawatt. The base document "Indian Electrical Equipment Industry Mission Plan 2012-2022" estimates the size of the domestic market in generation equipment to increase from $5.7 billion to $ 25-30 billion by 2012. The base document expects the transmission and distribution equipment industry size to increase from $ 18.5 billion to $ 70-75 billion in coming ten years. The Mission Plan 2012-12 will be made by the Ernst & Young and it will released before the start of the 12th plan period, which is starting from next fiscal year. The base document suggests many strategies to achieve the proposed targets. However, it also identify three main challenges which are, to increase the competitiveness of the Indian industry, increase export market share and to convert latent to real demand. The S and P CNX Nifty is currently trading at 4,930.70, lower by 40.55 points or 0.82% after trading as high as 5,006.05 and as low as 4,921.80. There were 12 stocks advancing against 37 declines while 1 stock remained unchanged on the index. The top gainers on the Nifty were HCL Tech up 2.87%, DLF up 2.64%, Ranbaxy up 1.70%, GAIL up 1.36% and ITC up 0.98%.JP Associates down 5.04%, Reliance Capital down 4.96%, Reliance Infra down 4.52%, Siemens down 4.10% and RCOM down 3.64% were the major losers on the index.Asian markets traded on a mixed note, Shanghai Composite plunged 0.95%, Hang Seng sank 0.66%, Straits Times shaved off 0.98% and Seoul Composite declined 0.73% On the contrary, Jakarta Composite climbed 1.08%, KLSE Composite added 0.29%, Nikkei 225 rose 0.07% and Taiwan Weighted accumulated 0.80%.The European markets were trading in red with, France's CAC 40 plunged 1.16%, Germany's DAX declined 1.58% and Britain's FTSE 100 descended 0.88%.
