To keep you update, we would also like to share with you the prevailing textile scenario. Though the performance   of the textile industry   was excellent during the last year but things are not moving in the right direction in the current year. The consequential effects of  negative  threats  of yester  year  are  still continuing and its effects has already been witnessed in  the  financial  results  of  the  first  quarter  of  the current year. The company suffered a heavy loss of Rs.519.300 millions because of the sudden crash in the prices of raw cotton from Rs.63,000/- per candy in September, 2010 to Rs.34,000/- per candy in June, 2011 because of pure speculative activity in cotton at the  commodity markets.  The cotton being a seasonable crop is purchased by the spinning mills for  its  requirement  in  the  cotton  season.  The company purchased the cotton at the high prices during the season and is currently stuck with the high cost cotton. Besides sharp decline in the yarn prices coupled with lack of demand in US and European countries has put additional pressure on the inventory intensive industry.  In  case  things  do  not move for betterment the performance of the textile industry  will  be  adversely  affected  in  the  coming periods.

 

The Management is putting whole heartedly all its efforts in cost reduction, quality management, better product mix  etc. so  as  to  improve  the  efficiencies which in turn will help the company in meeting the challenges ahead.  Besides The Management   also expect that the Government through its policies will take some initiatives in the form of some relief packages so that the industry could survive in this challenging period.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

 

Industry Structure/Development

 

Although in recent years the economic slowdown in the US and EU did have adverse impact on the overall trade of many  economies,  yet  India  and  other South Asian economies  continued  to  see  their  textile and  garment sector steady growth. The  textile  sector has  played  an important  role  in  the  overall  growth  of  South Asian economies. The Indian textile and clothing industry is one of the oldest and largest sectors    in India.  It is most important sector in Indian economy in terms of output, foreign exchange earnings and employment. To make the industry globally competitive, the central government initiated  several  policies,  reforms  which  enabled  the industry  to modernize  and  expand  its  capacities  and also  improve  its  technical  efficiencies.  The  Indian economy is growing at an estimated rate of 8% p.a and it  is  expected  that  Indian  textile  industry would  reach US$ 110  billion  by  2015 with  an  export  constituent  of US$ 45 billion. To sustain its growth, it is estimated that Indian textile industry would require an investment of $24 billion by 2015.

 

The  textile  and  apparel  industry  has witnessed  very tough  2010-11  year  struggling  with  the  surging  and fluctuating prices of raw cotton. In 2010-11 the prices of cotton was  increased  due  to  damaged  cotton  crop  in china  and  Pakistan  and  fall  in  global  production.  The speculative trading in commodities also contributed for the unprecedented increase in prices of cotton.  The Government of India in September 2010 announced a cap of 5.5 million bales of cotton for exports. With this lesser cotton for trade was available. With high import demand from China, international prices soared during the month and so as prices in India also increased.  In line with cotton prices, cotton yarn prices also continued to remain high. This increase was in fact more than the increase in cotton prices.  In order to check the rise in cotton yarn prices, the Indian Government had imposed a limit of 720 mln kgs on cotton yarn to be exported in FY 2010-11.

 

With ban on exports of cotton yarn and a declining trend in  domestic  demand  had  resulted  in  a  huge  unsold stock  of  cotton yarn with the  spinning mills all over  the country. When exports were allowed from April 2011, the accumulated stock caused a crash of cotton yarn prices in the global and domestic markets. Consumers started shying  away  from  the markets,  because  of  their perception  that  prices would decline  further  since mills are flush with stocks and have to sell them at any cost. Post withdrawal  of  restrictions on export of cotton yarn from 01 April 2011, exports have been very tardy since restriction on exports  of Indian cotton yarn for over two months  have  diverted  several  regular  importers  of  the Indian cotton yarn to other sources.

 

Management perception of Risk/concern/threat

 

Short-sighted government policies with reference to both cotton and cotton yarn in the recent past had converted a profitable textile industry to crises ridden sector faced with cash losses. Foreign markets are depressed and domestic demand is deflated.  In anticipation of bumper cotton crop this year, the buyers are still playing wait and watch policy.  It is hoped that customer will come back as soon as   prices are stabilized. Continued  weak  demand  form  developed  countries, prospect  of  higher  domestic  inflation,  fiscal  tightening and  increased  borrowing  cost  are  some  of  the challenges,    the  textile industry  is  facing at  large. Main concern  to  the  textile  industry  is  raw material  prices mainly cotton prices which has seen steep hike in 2010- 11  and  the  same  is  still  volatile  causing  uncertainties for  textile manufacturer.  The continuous increase in power cost adding further pressure on the financial health of textile companies.  Non -availability of skilled manpower is also one of the issue faced by the textile industry. Foreign brands have begun sourcing from Vietnam and Indonesia where cost of production is lower than India. Overall this year is proving to be one of the, toughest year in the history of textile industry and would have an adverse impact on the operations of industry at large.

 

The management  is making  all  efforts  to meet  the prevailing  challenges  by  focusing  its  efforts  on  further reduction  of  cost  and  by  improving  operational efficiencies  to  reduce  the cost  pressure.

 

 

Outlook

 

In  the  last 10 years  India has added  $930 billion  to  its economy  and  it  is  estimated  that    it    will  add  almost double  that  (about  $1700  billion)  in  the  next  10  years. India's domestic demand  shall  be  the  driver  of  growth for  Indian  textile  and  clothing  Industry  in  the  coming decade. However, as new consumer needs and aspiration emerge, the industry will have to reinvent itself to take advantages of opportunities.  Besides,  the  political  / economic  situation  in  their  neighboring  countries  is proving  to  be  a  blessing  in  disguise,  as  many international buyers have moved to Indian markets. The changed equation in global trade is working in favour of the  Indian  textile  industry  and rigorous  efforts must  be made  to  raise  India's  share  in  the  global  textile  trade. Nevertheless, they  are  confident  about  the  bright  future of  textile  industry  in  long  term  provided  Government policies need to balance the interests of all stake holders across  the  value  chain.  The Government  envisions building  state  of  the  art  production  capacities  and achieving  a  preeminent  global  standing  in  the  textile sector by 2020, which includes manufacture and export of all types of textiles. On the global front, India is set to become a bigger participant, both as a consumer and as a producer.

 

To sum up, the industry needs to take measures, steps and  strategize  for  further  sustainability  and  growth considering  the  opportunities  and  challenges.  It  is apparent  that  the  opportunities  are  heavier  than  the challenges and the  industry must make most  of  it.

 

Sugar industry Overview

 

The Indian sugar industry is one of the largest agro based industry after textile. The Indian Sugar industry is characterized by the co-existence of private, co-operative and public sector. The growth of sugar industry has powerful impact on the rural economy. India  is  the  largest  consumer  and  second  largest producer  of  sugar  in  the world. Sugar is an essential item of mass consumption.  India is still lagging behind from many advanced countries in respect of per capita consumption.  With an increase in demand and spending power, the consumption pattern of rural India is changing.  Its farm productivity has virtually remained stagnant for decades.  Thus there are opportunity in production and consumption of higher quantity of sugar. Most drivers of the Indian sugar industry are unpredictable    i.e cost, climate, Govt.  policies, raw material  availability  and  realizations.  The Indian sugar industry is characterized by cycle of high and low sugar production.

 

Sugar business continues to remain highly regulated. The Government of India fixes levy percentage to meet PDS requirement for the benefit of BPL families. The ,ratio  of  levy  for  the season  2009-10 was  increased  to 20%  from  10%  because  of  lower  availability  of  levy quantity due  to  lower  production. This  has  since been restored  to 10%    from  2010-11.The  sugar  industry  is most  controlled  industry  in  the  country  and  sugar  as commodity  continues  to  be  politically  sensitive  and strictly  controlled  by Government.  The fundamental problem of the Indian sugar Industry is that there is no relation between the price of raw material i.e sugar cane and its finished goods i.e sugar.

 

Sugar  industry  is  seasonal  in  nature  and  directly dependent  on monsoon  for  availability  of  adequate sugar cane which makes the business more vulnerable to  a  bad  season.  Lower cane realization can prompt farmers to shift to alternative crops. Shortage of labour is  another  concern  as NREGA  has  given  chances  to rural  labour  of  employment  and  labour  is  speedily migrating from  agriculture. The Company  is also making all efforts for  sugarcane development in the cane area allotted to it by providing various  facilities  such  as  supply  of  fertilizers  and pesticides at  subsidized  rates.  Supply of disease free seeds and free testing of soil etc. to farmers of the area. The Company has undertaken necessary maintenance programme   so that the plants fully equipped to crush higher quantity of sugarcane in the ensuing crushing season and to prevent the breakdown during the season.

Loan recast for textile firms likely

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

New Delhi, Aug. 4 -- Textile companies, hit by a sharp fall in cotton yarn prices, poor domestic demand and curbs on cotton yarn exports imposed in December, may get some relief on loan repayments that amount to about Rs.7,0000.000 millions  annually for the industry.

Indian banks are planning to restructure some of these loans, having agreed in principle to do so on a case-by-case basis after assessing the cash flows of these companies, according to an official at the Indian Banks' Association (IBA) and senior bankers. The official at banking lobby group didn't want to be named.

This won't be a bailout as there is no infusion of cash and neither will banks take a haircut, or a reduced payment.

"Banks have taken into account the current difficult situation of the sector and have agreed to restructure those loans where the borrowers are facing difficulties because of external circumstances," the IBA official said. "There won't be any industry-wide recast (of loans)."

Indian banks have been actively assisting crisis-ridden sectors in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis. Currently, they are recasting loans given to borrowers in the airline, real estate and microfinance sectors, although the reasons behind the various borrowers' distress vary.

In the wake of the global financial meLimitedown, Indian banks restructured at least 5% of their loans across sectors following a directive of the banking regulator. About 10-15% of these restructured loans have turned bad for most lenders, according to data from rating agency Credit Analysis and Research Limited.

Chiefs of around 20 banks, at an IBA meeting in late July, agreed to recast loans when merited, the IBA official said.

Such assistance won't be restricted to textiles, said a top banker.

"We are willing to restructure the loans given to these firms on a case-to-case basis, not only in textiles, but across sectors, wherever the stress is there," said K.R. Kamath, chairman and managing director of Punjab National Bank.

Indian banks have lent '1.45 trillion to textile firms as of 20 May, according to the latest Reserve Bank of India data. Credit grew 21% on a year-on-year basis, higher than the 19% growth registered in the previous year

According to the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI), an umbrella organization, textile companies have to repay around Rs.7000.000  millions  to banks every year, including interest payments of Rs. 2000.000 millions, under a government scheme that made available subsidized loans to the industry for capacity-building and modernization.

CITI estimates the textile industry's accumulated loss at about Rs.11000.00 millions.

"The second quarter results of most of the textile mills are likely to be very bad because of huge losses they have suffered on account of high cost of raw material and unsold goods in stock," said D.K. Nair, CITI secretary general.

Senior bankers said they will examine the possibility of loan recast, but don't see an alarming situation as of now.

The sector is facing a problem, but bankers have not come across any serious issues, said Ramnath Pradeep, chairman and managing director of Corporation Bank.

"Depending upon the need of the sector, we will take adequate steps," he said.

M. Narendra, chairman and managing director of Indian Overseas Bank, said one large textile company has already defaulted, but expects the situation to improve in the next few months.

If banks do not recast loans, in the case of defaults they will have to set aside money or provide for the bad loans, which will adversely impact profitability.

The $62 billion ('2.75 trillion) Indian textile industry is facing a crisis due to the steep fall in the prices of cotton and cotton yarn since March 2010, and low demand for products. Between April and July, the price of Shankar-6, the standard variety of Indian cotton, fell to '30,000 per candy from '60,000 per candy in April. One candy is equal to 356kg.

According to senior industry officials, this resulted in stockpiling to the tune of 6.5 million bales as on 1 June. Following this, CITI approached Indian banks with a request for loan restructuring.

The industry had sought a two-year moratorium for troubled firms and a reduction in loan rates to facilitate easy repayment.

Many firms may stop payments in the next few months unless there is bank assistance, said Kamal Oswal, managing director of Ludhiana-based Nahar Industrial Enterprises Limited.

"The situation is not good because of the stoppage of cotton yarn exports last year," Oswal said. "As of now, companies are stuck with very heavy inventory of cotton and yarn."

The government capped cotton yarn exports in 2010-11 at 720 million kg against the industry demand for 1,100 million kg leading to the inventory pile-up, CITI's Nair said.

"Besides the impact of an economic slowdown, the imposition of a 10% excise duty has also impacted the demand," he said.

Nearly 70% of the total textile industry's products are cotton-based.

Experts said companies largely dependent on exports may face a tough time compared with firms that depend on domestic demand.

"The current situation in the sector is largely due to the slump in demand and higher input costs. There was some amount of speculation also as some companies were expecting commodity prices to stay on the higher side," said J. Moses Harding, executive vice-president and head (global markets group) at IndusInd Bank Limited.
