Not deterred by the adverse circumstances, the Management team of the Shipping division is committed to an extremely focused execution plan to bring about a turnaround on the operational front. The Board of Directors reviewed both the strategic and operational plans of the Shipping division and its fit to the core business and recommended to transfer the Shipping division into a subsidiary Company.

 

GATI INTERNATIONAL AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

India has changed. The world is focused on India and the growth opportunities that India offers and the recognition of India’s prowess to be a global leader. Indian companies are fast moving into the global arena and are putting their brands and services in the competitive global markets of Europe and America.

They are also in discussion with a few companies in Sri Lanka for a similar partnership.

 

They are confident that with the very strong positive steps being taken by the management of the company they would enhance the market share and emerge as one of the preferred integrated logistics and supply chain service providers for the customers in the Asia Pacific Region.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

India is today considered as a "haven" for the logistics players of the world because of the size of the market and the untapped potential in the market. The country today is only to the tune of 3% of the global logistics market. With increased competition, every market player is keen to make their mark by aiming for the share of the logistics pie. Influenced by the success of the global players in the Indian market, the Indian counterparts are also gearing up for the challenges, by providing a spectrum of services and offerings.

 

The global logistics market is valued at US $4 trillion with an 8% growth over the previous year. The Indian logistics industry is estimated at 125 billion US$, of which about 90% belongs to the unorganized sector. For the remaining 10% of the organized market, the growth rate is pegged at 20-25% per year.

 

Logistics in the Indian context would mean providing services such as transportation, warehousing, distribution, order and inventory management. Logistics costs in India are about 13-14% of GDP, as against 8.7% in the US, 11% in Europe, 12% in Japan and 18% in China. A further reduction of 1% in logistics cost could result in huge savings. Critically examining logistics cost drivers will enable Indian firms to gain competitive edge in global market place.

 

The current market size for the trucking logistics is 50 billion dollars with around 2.5-3 million trucks moving within the country per day.

 

Transporters with a fleet less than or equal to five trucks constitute a share of around 80% of the total revenue in 2009-10 with the scenario not being very different from 2008-09. About 2 trillion US$ of capital is being planned for the industry.

 

The overall logistics scenario looks quite encouraging with the road freight industry witnessing a year on year growth rate of 20%. Similarly the rail and air freight industry grew by 15% in 2009-10. Meanwhile, the sea freight industry growth rate has been 18% and the express logistics and supply chain logistics promising an enterprising growth of 35%.

 

OPPORTUNITIES

 

The Indian Economy is on the up-tick evident from factors such as IIP growth of 16.7% for February'10, 15.1% for March'10, 17.6% in April'10 and 11.5% for May’10. The annual GDP of the country shall witness an overall growth of 7.5% in 2009-10. For the subsequent years, GDP growth has been projected at 8.5%. As a fact, imports jumped by 43.3% and exports jumped by 36.2% in April compared to previous months.

 

According to the CRISIL-ETIG database, the Indian logistics (3PL) industry is also on uptick as forecasts predict a CAGR of 27% till 2013- 14 and contribution of organized logistics is expected to grow from 7% (2010) to 12% (2013).

 

The logistics industry contributed to around 13% of GDP in 2009-10 against 11% in 2008-09 and 12% in 2007-08. Media, healthcare, banking, automobiles and consumer durables have been identified as the top sectors emerging as well.

 

The Indian warehousing sector has enormous potential as it is poised to be valued at US $55 billion by 2010-11 with around 45 million sq ft warehousing space to be developed. About 110 logistics parks shall come up over an area of 3500 acres in next two years. Also, the introduction of concessional import duty of 5% would help setting up mechanized handling systems and pallet racking systems/ cold storage for food grains.

 

Infrastructure development is another aspect fueling growth. The government plans to invest US $ 17bn in transport infrastructure. It also plans to create trade related infrastructure, infrastructure for Commonwealth games in 2010, envisaging world-class infrastructure for warehousing of various products. Another dimension of development are the FTWZ's (Free trade warehousing zones), which would enable supply chain / logistics to function much more efficiently by removing the cargo bottlenecks witnessed at the Integrated Container Depots (ICDs).

 

Moreover, projects such as the green fields project, national highways development, national maritime program, introduction of freight corridors in rails shall add fuel to the growth.

 

CONSTRAINTS AND CHALLENGES

 

- Given the highly unorganized nature of the logistics industry, the foremost challenge facing the logistics companies in India is the consolidation of various services to be provided to the customer.

- Following consolidation is the fragmented nature of the industry. There are multiple service providers with limited expertise but they want to be the entire value chain. Having no end-to-end service providers leads to an integrator type of an arrangement and impacts margins.

- Another aspect is infrastructure. The country's poor logistics infrastructure pushes up logistics costs compared to other countries. This affects India's competitiveness in the global market. Logistics cost in India are way too high compared to economies of developed countries.

- Projects such as development of extensive road network with hinterland connectivity, rapid implementation of the dedicated rail freight corridors, capacity expansion beyond major ports sector and establishment of modern cargo handling facilities at airports are some of the challenges before the growth of the domestic logistics industry.

 

BUSINESS THREATS, RISKS AND THEIR MITIGATION

 

The year 2009-10 for India has been quite different from the expectations of industry stalwarts and economy speculators.

 

Unorganized trucking industry, high taxation, high input material costs, inadequate road infrastructure (which allows a truck to cover only 250-400 km a day compared with 700-800 km a day in developed regions such as the US and Europe), limited investments are some of the challenges identified in this sector.

 

Being a dominant player, Gati faces competition from both domestic as well as international players. However, Gati's wide reach, competitive cost and wide range of competitive solutions has helped in mitigating the impact of industry risk factors. Gati plans to strengthen the IT support by launching initiatives such as third party software, IT help desks, paperless office concepts and real time data management systems to eliminate redundancies to some extent.
