During the year under report, Income from operations, along with other income has increased by more than 6.07% as compared to the previous year. The profit before tax recorded a decrease of 18.28% over that of the previous year and the profit after tax has decreased by 16.69% as against the previous year.

 

 

BUSINESS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

With its 10-year legacy in the logistics industry, servicing over 1,200 customers, Arshiya has a vision to reduce India’s ‘last mile' logistics and supply chain cost from 14% to 9%, thus targeting the absolute inefficiency of US$ 50 billion in the country. It leverages Arshiya’s unique competency of combining ‘Soft Infrastructure’ such as asset-light 3PL, 4PL services, with innovative ‘Hard Infrastructure’ such as Free Trade and Warehousing Zones, Rail Infrastructure and Domestic Distriparks, integrated through customized IT solutions.

 

With an investment outlay of US$1.5 billion, Arshiya will be the industry pioneer in development and operations of state-of-the-art logistics infrastructure solutions across strategic locations in India.

 

This year will be an extremely exciting one for Arshiya with its core business adding momentum, FTWZ becoming operational and additional trains being added to Arshiya’s rail operations with strategic siding infrastructure being developed pan India, all while global economic conditions are improving. Five ‘Domestic Distriparks’ have been planned pan-India, complementing the FTWZ network. The first of the distriparks will be in Khurja (near Delhi) in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

 

Arshiya’s model has been instrumental in successfully securing full financial closure of Rs. 26280.000 millions for the first phase of its FTWZs, and rail and Domestic Distripark projects. This includes Rs. 5330.000 millions, Rs. 4210.000 millions and Rs. 4920.000 millions for the FTWZ in Panvel, Khurja and Nagpur respectively. Phase 1 of Arshiya’s rail project will cost Rs. 6260.000 millions and the Domestic Distripark Rs. 5560.000 millions.

 

(I) Arshiya Free Trade and Warehousing Zones (FTWZ)

The FTWZ regulatory framework under the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Act of 2005 will give India the much needed impetus to drive its economic growth to the next level, truly leveraging the nation’s vast domestic market and growing purchasing power parity. Over the last few decades India has been losing investments to neighbouring economies, which were being used by global corporations as bases for feeding India, due to lack of comparable infrastructure availability in India.

 

With FTWZs, the country will be able to leverage ‘Soft Infrastructure’ such as skilled manpower, cost competitiveness, regulatory framework IT connectivity, as well as ‘Hard Infrastructure’ such as dedicated state-of-the-art mega logistics parks, rail connectivity and world class supply chain management services.

 

(II) Arshiya Rail Infrastructure

Arshiya Rail Infrastructure started its operations in February 2009. In FY10, this Company has added 10 trains to its portfolio, with phase 1 plans for inducting a total of 25 to 30 trains in FY11. The unique model has resulted in Arshiya Rail being the most profitable private container rail operator in India.

 

(III) Arshiya Domestic Distripark

Arshiya Domestic Distripark is a venture designed to provide companies with a strategic hub warehousing for domestic consolidation of goods. This rail-connected mega consolidation hubs promise considerable time and cost reduction.

 

The first of Arshiya’s five planned Domestic Distriparks is strategically located at the confluence of the Eastern and Western freight corridors at Khurja (near Delhi) in the state of Uttar Pradesh. It is further benefited by the adjoining presence of the modern high-capacity Arshiya Rail infrastructure and Free Trade and Warehousing Zone. It allows companies to access ports and the hinterland through both the freight corridors. This debottlenecked location, helps companies to cut down drastically on so-called inevitable transportation expenses, prevalent in India.

 

A Domestic Distripark has dedicated container yards to process incoming cargo, customized warehousing facilities, state-ofthe-art cargo handling equipment, skilled manpower, integrated IT services for complete visibility, road and rail connectivity. Thus greatly aiding in reducing a company’s capital expenses as a consolidation point in the region and make the supply chain more profitable. The development of Domestic Distriparks will generate substantial economic activity and infrastructure development in the region in terms of employment to the locals, development of roads, schools, connectivity, housing, trade, etc.

 

(IV) Arshiya Logistics

With a 10 year legacy in providing integrated logistics solutions, Arshiya Logistics offers end-to-end Freight Management, Transportation, Document Management, Customs Clearance and Project Logistics services, in over 150+ countries world-wide.

 

(V) Arshiya Supply Chain Management

With a 5 year legacy, Arshiya Supply Chain provides end-to-end supply and demand chain solutions. Committed to evolving endto- end strategic and innovative solutions across supply chain management.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL MACRO ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The Global Economy, which took a severe hit over the past few years, is slowly starting to recover. With recovery, the business community is looking to reinvest in innovative solutions to meet their unique needs. Companies are acutely aware of the risks involved with doing business on a global scale. While they are willing to start spending, it is even more crucial that the investments made are prudent. With global growth projected at 4½ percent in 2010, leveraging specific global positions is the only way businesses will be able to fully rebound and benefit from this growth.

 

Output growths in key emerging Asian economies are averaging near 10% from Q2-Q4 of 2009, exceeding expectations of the economy. For example, India's expected growth for 2010 is 9.2% compared to 2.6% in the US and 2.5% in the UK. The US growth is largely tied to the recovery of the global economy. Currently, it is being fuelled by government stimulus, while the UK is experiencing uneven growth due to several factors including complex policy implementation. The Asian markets are currently waging the most balanced and vigorous recovery.

 

INDIA’S MACRO ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The global economy over the last two years has witnessed one of the most challenging environments for growth. Recession supported by weak business sentiments were the most common macro economic variables responsible for shaking the foundation of developed as well as developing markets of the world. In contrast, India being one of the most vibrant and diverse emerging markets, felt the least effect of the global turmoil. Its vast domestic market, cautious monetary policies, timely government interventions and large middle class population cushioned the adverse effects of recession.

 

As per the Finance Ministry, India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for 2009-2010 has grown by 6% during Oct to Dec 2009 and is estimated to grow by 9.2% in 2010-11, as compared to an estimated 7.2% for FY 2009-10. All three broad sectors of the economy, viz. the industrial, agricultural and the services sector are expected to perform well in 2010-11. Among the three major sectors, the manufacturing sector grew at 18.5% in December 2009 and 9.0% during April-December 2009-10 compared to (-) 0.6% in December 2008 and 3.6% during April-December 2008-09. Mining grew at 9.5% in December 2009 and at 8.5% during April- December 2009-10 as compared to 2.2% in December 2008 and 3.2% in the period April-December 2008-09.

 

INDIA’S UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES

Although India is experiencing a golden period in its prosperity owing to its consistent GDP growth, huge domestic market, increasing purchasing power parity, increasing industrial output and foreign investments, the country still faces unique challenges. Hard infrastructure such as roads, rail, ports and hinterland connectivity and logistics as a whole being the most prominent variables in the equation. Logistics cost in India is fairly high – at around 14% of GDP, as against 8% - 9% in most developed nations.

 

On a US$ 1 trillion GDP; this represents absolute value of inefficiency of over US$ 50 billion. This inefficiency is reflected on all products being manufactured, consumed, warehoused and traded in India, contributing significantly to the biggest challenge faced by India's growing economy - ‘Inflation’. Measurable improvements have been made over the last few years in building hard infrastructure, but still at the fundamental level, road has the largest share of transport at about 65%, with rail having only about 30% market share. Thus dependency on road makes hinterland cargo movement more expensive and inefficient.

 

India's freight transport system currently carries approximately 2.8 billion metric tomes (MT) of cargo; which is expected to grow to approximately 5.2 billion MT by 2020, at a CAGR of 6%. Given the CAGR of India’s middle class growth, between 2000 to 2010, the country will have approximately 615 million consumers in the segment by 2020. By 2020, India is projected to have an additional 47 million working population, almost equal to the total

world shortfall with an average Indian age of 29 years. Comparative average population age of other geographies at that time will be: China (37), US and Western Europe (45) and Japan (48). Thus the country is poised for an exponential growth in the coming decades. One of the most critical variables for realizing India’s true potential as an economic power house is efficiency and innovation in logistics and supply chain industry.

 

INDIA’S LOGISTICS INDUSTRY – ‘the underlying trends’

The present logistics industry is highly unorganised, with a large number of players providing individual services, across the value chain. The fragmented nature of the industry leads to customers having to deal with various service providers, thus putting a strain on their logistics costs. As unorganised players compete on costs, at the expense of service quality and customer delight, it indirectly results in higher per unit cost due to wastage and higher inventory costs. As per government estimates, the overall Indian logistics spend in the year 2008 – 2009, was Rs. 2.7 trillion which included only primary transport modes and infrastructure, growing at a CAGR of 11%, to reach revenues of Rs. 4.6 trillion by 2013-14. The unorganized segment's share is estimated to account for 75-80 % of the market across logistics segment.

 

Transportation has the largest share of over 75% in the industry. The infrastructure segments, such as warehousing, ICD (In-land Container Depot) and CY (Container Yard) are expected to grow from Rs. 312 billion in 2008-09, to around Rs. 498 billion by 2013-14, with a CAGR of 9.8%. India, in 2008-09, processed just about 7 million TEUs (Twenty Equivalent Units) as against economies such as Dubai (12 million), Singapore (22 million) and China (over 180 million).

 

These underlying industry dynamics provide a strong growth opportunity for organised and integrated players providing end-toend services through innovative logistics infrastructure solutions, such as Free Trade and Warehousing Zones (FTWZ), Domestic Distriparks, Customised Rail Containers and dedicated Rail Sidings, across strategic locations in India.

 

INDIA’S POTENTIAL: ‘as the market of the future’

As the second-fastest-growing major economy in the world, India has tremendous potential as a market for selling as well as sourcing products, for international corporations looking to leverage India's cost and skill arbitrage. Over the years this economy has been ranked as the second largest market in all types of products from automobiles, telecommunications, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, FMCGs, luxury products, wines and spirits, travel, energy, defense and so on. With its increasing strategic role in global trade, India will have to scale up its investment in building support infrastructure for its growing economy such as roads, rail, ports, hinterland connectivity, trade-friendly regulatory environment and flexible tax structure. Due to the democratic political setup and inherent entrepreneurial mindset, the state will look towards private participation in building support infrastructure. Till date, neighbouring economies across the Asian continent and Middle East were gaining business at the cost of India, as the country lacked state-of-the art mega trade and logistics infrastructure to facilitate ease of business and hinterland movement. Thus India's market was serviced with global products, using neighbouring countries as transshipment hubs and regional distribution centers despite India's intellectual resources being almost 30% economical than that of regional counterparts in terms of wages.

 

On the domestic front, lack of logistics infrastructure directly affects the efficiency of product movement across the hinterland of India. This could be either from the manufacturing plant where the product is made to the store where the end consumer buys the product or from the port where the product lands into India to the shelf where the end consumer buys the product. Thus every product bears the cost of inefficiency in the system, which is reflected in the consumer price index – 'inflation', wherein, ultimately, every consumer pays the price. Thus the vicious circle feeds itself through the growing logistics inefficiency in India's economy.

 

India’s greatest opportunity lies in tackling its greatest challenges in the space of logistics:

  • Less than 8% of India Inc. (manufacturing and services) outsources its logistics while in the developed world the outsourcing is done by more than 45% of companies – indicating the level of sophistication that is required to be brought about in this space and the tremendous opportunities present in the form of core growth and efficiency improvement.
  • The dominant road transport sector in India remains very largely unorganized with an average trucker in India owning only about seven trucks. This high dependence on road transport not only represents inefficiencies arising from the bad quality of trucks and roads in India, but adds to costs on account of product theft/loss, time taken for delivery on account of state border crossings and loss of visibility of products.
  • India's power production capacity is set to increase from the current 1.5 GW to about 2.5 GW by 2017. This will represent a significant increase in the requirement of coal that will need to be moved in the system. All of this will have to move by Rail, thus increasing the importance of rail as a transport medium in India's development.
  • At present over 60% of container freight traffic entering or leaving India is out of one port – Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust(JNPT), in Mumbai, requiring India to depend heavily on domestic freight movement for last mile supply chain connectivity from this port to industrial hubs and the end consumer.
  • The average time taken to clear import and export cargo at ports is about 19 days in India, as against 3 to 4 days in Singapore.
  • Compared to European countries, rail transportation in India is almost 3.5 times more expensive and the average transit time by road is three times longer.
  • World Bank's 2010 report on Logistics Performance Index ranks India 47th amongst 155 countries in terms of macroeconomic variables such as Logistics Competence, Infrastructure, International Shipments, Timeliness and Custom Clearance. China and Brazil, part of BRIC economies, are ranked 27th and 41st respectively.
  • It is reported that, as a country India burnt approximately US$ 2.5 billion worth of fuel on account of trucks waiting at check posts.
  • India loses approximately 35% of its farm produce to wastage on account of lack of logistics infrastructure.
  • Logistics costs account for 45-55% of other costs in the pharmaceutical value chain.
  • The delay in reaching medicinal drugs to the market costs companies around US$ 1 million per day in India.
  • Even if India grows at the modest CAGR of 6%, its transport system will have to move over 6 billion MT of cargo by 2020.

 

At the present levels of logistics spends vs GDP, even if India can bring about efficiency as that of developed economies while maintaining its consistent growth, there is a direct market of US$ 50 billion to be tapped. Due to India's unique geographic location, diverse markets, varied consumer segments, logistics and supply chain faces unique challenges unlike anywhere in the world. To leverage this enormous market opportunity, companies are looking for an end-to-end service provider with the capability and resolve to provide end-to-end logistics services, integrating innovative infrastructure solutions to core logistics solutions and therein lies India's big logistics opportunity.

 

ARSHIYA INTERNATIONAL'S PERSPECTIVE FOR CAPITALIZING ON INDIA'S LOGISTICS OPPORTUNITY – 'what does it take'

To make India realize its true potential, a proactive approach needs to be taken for creating a revolution in India's logistics evolution. The industry needs an innovative and 'Game Changing' approach towards creating logistics infrastructure solutions such as,

  • Free Trade and Warehousing Zones (FTWZs)

- To enable EXIM cargo Consolidation, Value Addition, to allow India to become a Regional Trading and Transhipment Hub

  • Domestic Distriparks

- For Domestic cargo value addition and consolidation for Rail transportation to remove dependency on road

lRail Infrastructure Solutions

- To comprise innovative Customized Containers for specific product types, Service Level agreements on timeline and delivery with Key Performance Indicators

- State-of-the-art Rail Terminals, at strategic locations across India with modern equipment to increase speed of

loading/unloading and churn

  • Integrate Logistics Infrastructure with Global Logistics, Domestic Supply Chain Management and Information Technology (IT)

- Global ocean and air logistics, domestic forward and reverse supply chain management with ownership on reduction of working capital and product visibility and control, through technology

 

SUBJECT: ‘Integrated Supply Chain and Logistics Infrastructure Solutions’

With its 10-years legacy in the logistics industry, servicing over 1,200 customers, Arshiya has a vision to reduce India's 'last mile' logistics and supply chain cost from 14% to 9%, thus targeting the absolute inefficiency of US$ 50 billion in the country. It leverages Arshiya's unique competency of combining 'Soft Infrastructure' such as asset-light 3PL, 4PL services, with innovative 'Hard Infrastructure' such as Free Trade and Warehousing Zones, Rail Infrastructure and Domestic Distriparks, integrated through customized IT solutions.

 

With an investment outlay of US$1.5 billion over the first phase, Arshiya will be the industry pioneer in development and operations of state-of-the-art logistics infrastructure solutions across strategic locations in India.

 

  • 5 FTWZs – Rail Connected, Planned Pan-India Spanning:

- WEST : 165-acres in Sai Village, Panvel – Mumbai, Maharashtra

- NORTH: 135-acres park in Khurja, UP - near Delhi

- CENTRAL: 110-acres in Nagpur, Maharashtra

- SOUTH: To be announced in FY11

- EAST: To be announced in FY12

 

  • 5 Domestic Distriparks - Planned Pan-India, Complementing the FTWZ Network

- 130-acres adjoining the FTWZ in Khurja, UP near Delhi

- Others following the FTWZ footprint pan-India

 

  • 75-Train Rail Infrastructure Operations Pan-India

- Providing customized solutions to marquee customers with long term contracts.

- Inducted 10 trains in FY10, since Arshiya Rail Infrastructure’s operational inception in February 2009.

- Pan-India Rail Terminal Network complementing each FTWZ, Domestic Distriparks and Rail Operations and thus accelerating cargo distribution through aggregation.

 

v      The first of which being a 50-acre Rail Terminal in Khurja, UP near Delhi adjoining Arshiya’s FTWZ and Domestic Distripark in the region. This location is also strategic as it serves as an intersection between the Western and Eastern Freight Corridors.

 

ARSHIYA’S FREE TRADE AND WAREHOUSING ZONE: ‘the game changer in FY11’

The FTWZ regulatory framework will give India the much needed impetus to drive its economic growth to the next level, while truly leveraging the nation’s vast domestic market and purchasing power parity. Over the last few decades India has been losing investments to neighbouring economies, which were being used by global corporations as bases for feeding India, because of unavailability of similar infrastructure in India.

 

With FTWZs the country will be able to leverage ‘Soft Infrastructure’ such as skilled manpower, cost competitiveness, regulatory framework, IT connectivity, as well as 'Hard Infrastructure' such as dedicated state-of-the-art mega logistics parks, rail connectivity and world class supply chain management services. Immediate benefits that the economy will see through FTWZ are as below:

  • India will emerge as a major economic hub for companies either Importing, Exporting or doing Value Addition to its products, for selling in India or to other regional countries.
  • Broaden the scope of India’s economy from its present Manufacturing-and-Service-centric model, to include Trading, Warehousing, Value Additions and Consolidations, thus opening the market for more investments which were directed to neighbouring Asian and Middle East economies, due to lack of infrastructure setup in India.
  • Boost India's exports, as more companies will be able to stock, source and make products closer to their suppliers based in India, driving cost savings and thus competitiveness, resulting in more investments.
  • Each zone will directly employ in excess of 5,000 people and will indirectly create employment for over 10,000 people in terms of development of surrounding economy and facilitating the growth of support services industry.

 

Overall Arshiya’s FTWZ is a state-of-the-art integrated logistics infrastructure, with Rail Terminal connectivity, Integrated Inland Container Depot (ICD) / Container Yard (CY) infrastructure, 24-hour uninterrupted water and power supply (inclusive of 100% backup), facilities including common essential services (Insurance, Banking, Travel, Courier etc.), Business Centre, Exhibition Centre, Fuel Stations, Security Services, Cafeteria Facilities, all of which will facilitate ease of trade.

 

UNIQUE BENEFITS OF FTWZS: 'imports, exports, re-exports and value addition'

  • Importing products into the FTWZ will allow companies the flexibility of end-distribution in India through duty deferment (up to 2 years), higher inventory visibility, reduced buffer stocks and lowered product costs also allowing flexible and hassle-free re-exports.
  • Services like value addition (packaging, re-packaging, labelling, etc.) and other services (including procurement of materials for the purpose of value addition) availed by companies inside FTWZ will be exempt from local taxes and they will also enjoy income tax exemptions on re-export of imported products.
  • Products from India entering the FTWZ are treated as an export thereby providing unique and immediate export benefits (e.g. Tax incentives where applicable, reduced working capital, etc.) to the suppliers.
  • A FTWZ will allow companies to consolidate, value-add and conduct quality control on these products before end distribution world-wide, thus increasing supply chain efficiencies (forward and reverse) while enhancing capital cash flow; all contributing to reducing cost of sourced products.
  • Ability to leverage India as a regional/global distribution and value addition hub.
  • 24/7 Customs clearance for the first time in India, enhancing speed and efficiency of product clearance.
  • Quality control capability prior to duty-payment and hassle-free re-exports.
  • Local Tax Exemption (e.g. CST, Sales Tax, Excise and VAT).
  • Service tax exemption on all activities conducted inside the FTWZ including rentals and labour.
  • Ability to conduct business in free currency.

 

ARSHIYA RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE – 'FY10 and Beyond'

Arshiya’s strategy with the container rail business is to capitalize on the untapped domestic opportunity by partnering with the Indian Railways in increasing market share for rail in the Indian freight transportation system. As background, the Indian freight transport system currently carries approximately 2.8 billion MT; of which the road transport system has 60 -65%, rail 30-32% and coastal shipping 6-7% market share. With demand expected to grow considerably over the next decade, it is imperative for India to realize the true potential of Rail and increase its market share in order to bring the required efficiency in India’s hinterland transportation. In FY10, since just incepting its Rail operations, Arshiya Rail Infrastructure has successfully added 10 trains and executed long term contracts with marquee customers by being able to provide a unique Rail solution coupled with end-to-end logistics capability. Arshiya's overall strategy in Rail remains one governed by economies of scale and on the following guiding principles enabling it to be the only profitable private container rail operator in India today:

  • Investing in the creation of the required rolling stock (total of 75 rakes, with the induction of 30 trains in Phase 1) in order to acquire dedicated business from large corporations
  • Making phased investments in private railway terminal infrastructure at strategic locations across the country
  • Invest in customized containers that can carry heavy and light cargo, thus adding value to Arshiya's customers
  • Provide and integrate a total end-to-end logistics solution along with its rail offering including Supply Chain, Freight Forwarding and IT solution capability.

 

Adding to the 10 trains and strategic Rail Terminals already operational in FY10, Arshiya Rail Infrastructure intends to strengthen its Rail Terminal footprint with the beginning of operations of its key Rail Terminal siding in Khurja. This Rail terminal will be connected to the company’s FTWZ and Domestic Distripark in Khurja, UP that also falls along the Western and Eastern Freight Corridors – providing Arshiya Rail Infrastructure the unique opportunity to provide Rail connectivity for its captive EXIM and Domestic Cargo. Along with its already strong domestic cargo movement business which will continue to expand, Arshiya Rail Infrastructure stands well positioned to capitalize on the movement across Arshiya’s hubs to re-enforce its position as the strongest private container rail operator in the country. It anticipates to take its total strength to 25 - 30 trains in FY11.

 

ARSHIYA'S CORE BUSINESSES LEVERAGING FROM THE INFRASTRUCTURE (FTWZ, RAIL and DOMESTIC DISTRIPARK) INVESTMENTS

– 'The true value and game changer'

As Arshiya International continues its investments into creating innovative logistics infrastructure, it creates a stronger positioning for its core supply chain, freight forwarding and IT services portfolio – all getting a captive customer base to offer its tried and tested service offerings.
