MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

 

GLOBAL LOGISTICS INDUSTRY

 

The global logistics industry is estimated at over USD 3.5 trillion. The largest market (the US) accounts for about a third of the world market.

 

 

INDIAN LOGISTICS INDUSTRY

 

Even as the Indian logistics industry was catalysed by increased domestic consumption, retail boom and increase

in trade, the industry is fragmented. The annual logistics cost in India is estimated at 12 per cent of the GDP, which translates into USD 150 billion size (assuming the GDP of India to be USD 1.4 trillion).

 

While outsourced logistics account for 54 per cent of the total logistics spending in India, organised players account for a mere 10 per cent share. Road transportation accounts for the largest portion (60-65 per cent) of the

country’s logistics spending; 10-15 per cent of operators own a single vehicle and 70 percent of operators own 5-20 trucks; in outsourced warehousing, 92 per cent of the players are unorganized

 

 

 

 

CATEGORIES

 

The Indian logistic industry is divided across the following categories:

 

Express cargo: Cost and time efficiency combined with expected growth in document shipments and high value

products have created the need for a high-speed express segment using road and air network. This segment is growing at 15-20 per cent-plus a year.

 

Warehousing: Warehouses and cold chains emerged as critical components of supply chain networks in India. Considerable growth is expected in the area of airport-based warehouses, inland container depots, freight stations, custom-bonded warehouses, specialized warehouses and cold storage. As high as 92 per cent (of the overall 433 mn sq. ft.) of the Indian warehousing industry is unorganised and characterised by medium to low-quality infrastructure and services.

 

3PL: A single logistics service provider manages the entire logistics function for a company. Japan (80%) accounts for a high proportion of 3PL to the overall logistics activity compared with India (9%) according to Indiastat Database, KPMG Analysis. Global sourcing and growing competition among manufacturers have made the material movement complex, giving rise to third party logistics players. India’s 3PL market is projected to witness a CAGR of around 26 per cent in 2011-2013, resulting in a revenue opportunity of nearly USD 4.6 billion by 2013.

 

Air cargo: India is set to emerge as a hub for global aviation companies as no other country provides a 360-degree evolution ecosystem. The total air freight traffic increased from 1,959.70 thousand tonnes in 2009-10 to 2,348.36 thousand tonnes in 2010-11. India’s air cargo movement is expected to grow, owing to rapid international air cargo traffic growth, fuelled further by a growth in export of gems and jewellery, special chemicals and high-value pharmaceuticals, among others.

 

Ocean cargo: The Indian shipping industry is the backbone of the country’s international trade. With 12 major and 187 minor ports as well as a 7,500-km coastline, ocean freight is an important economy driver. Container cargo traffic at India’s 12 major government-owned ports grew in 2010-11, bolstered by strong demand for shipping raw material and the export of finished goods in the world’s second-fastest growing economy. The surging Asian and Indian economies containerised vessel demand in recent years.

 

Railways: With the fourth-largest network in the world and a total track length of more than 64,000 kms, the Indian railways catalyse socio-economic growth. On an average, around 220 km of new lines are added annually in the country. During the year 2011-12, as per the Rail Budget, 1,300 km new lines, 867 km doubling, 1,017 km gauge conversion are targeted. Rail transportation accounts for more than 30.8 per cent of inland transportation of goods.

 

Roads: The Indian road network (over 3.34 million kms) is the second-largest in the world and carries more than 85 per cent of passenger and 61 per cent of freight traffic. The transport sector accounts for about 6.4 per cent of

India’s GDP, of which road transport alone accounts for 4.5 per cent. The size of the road freight segment is USD 10 billion. As per the World Bank, national highways aggregating a length of around 70,748 kms, constitute a mere two per cent of the road network but carries about 40 per cent of India’s total road traffic. During the financial year 2011-12, about 5,926 kms of the National Highways are to be improved, along with the construction / rehabilitation of 130 bridges and 10 bypasses at an estimated cost of Rs.1,96,000 million.

 

 

 

 

 

 

GROWTH DRIVERS

 

The key reasons for the projected growth in the country’s logistics sector are derived from the following factors:

 

·         India ranks as the fourth-most favourable business destination after China, Central Europe and Western Europe

 

·         India is the only economy projected to grow at over 5 per cent annually through to 2050

 

·         India's overall retail sector is expected to grow at a 10 per cent CAGR to USD 833 billion by 2013 and USD 1.3 trillion by 2018

 

·         A number of Japanese, French and American automobile companies have established manufacturing bases in India for onward export

 

·         Many foreign players — Wal-Mart, Marks and Spencer and Carrefour SA, among others — are exhibiting an interest in entering India

 

·         Indian Railways allocated a Rs.2,300-billion plan outlay for the Eleventh Five Year Plan including the creation of dedicated freight corridors for Rs.220 billion

 

·         The National Maritime Development Programme envisaged a USD 15 billion investment for infrastructure upgradation at major ports and a USD 5 billion investment for minor ports

 

·         India expects to invest USD 60 billion in national and state highway improvement across ten years

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

A progressive reduction in logistics spending from 12 per cent of GDP to 5 per cent of GDP will require a significant investment to improve infrastructure, leading to a smoother flow of traded goods through roads, railways, shipping ports and airports. A reduction in logistics costs by even 1per cent of GDP will translate into savings of over USD 14 billion. A World Bank study states that a 0.5 per cent reduction in logistics costs could potentially lead to a 2 per cent growth in GDP. The Indian logistics industry is expected to grow at 15-20 per cent annually, reaching revenues worth USD 300-450 billion by 2015. This growth will result from an expansion in the organised retail, manufacturing and infrastructure sectors.

 

 

DIVISIONAL OVERVIEW ONE

 

TCI FREIGHT

 

STRENGTHS

 

Scale: With over five decades of cargo management experience in diverse terrains, TCI Freight is India’s leading surface transport entity with more than 700 company-owned offices across India and 26 transhipment hubs and a very large customer base. The division’s extensive office network is proximate to diverse raw material sources, manufacturing plants or downstream customers.

 

 

 

One-stop: This division provides comprehensive multimodal transport solutions for cargo of any dimension or product segment.

 

Strong infrastructure: The division possesses a large and modern fleet for all kinds of cargo movements. For the FTL (bulk) and LTL (small) cargo movement, the division has containerised vehicles. For ODC (over dimensional cargo) movement, it owns hydraulic trailers, prime movers and high bed, semilow bed and low-bed trailers. The division also responds to unexpected demand spikes through truck outsourcing.

 

Technologically advanced: The division has computerised and interconnected offices with its own ERP, supported by GPS-enabled vehicles.

 

 

 

Wide customer base: The division addresses the growing need of customers in the FMCG, textiles, engineering, pharma and chemical sectors, among others.

OVERVIEW, 2010-11

 

·         TCI Freight is the dominant revenue contributor of the TCI Group. The segment’s contribution was 46.01% in 2010-11.

 

·         Topline grew 12% but bottomline grew by only 6%, owing to an increase in interest cost by over 38% and increase in depreciation by over 24% (on account of investment in ODC equipment including axles and prime movers).

 

·         The marketing team engaged in market surveys and mapping, and customer meets were organized every month in different locations.

 

·         During the year, the focus was on Over Dimensional Cargos (ODC) and railways.

 

·         TCI commissioned a weekly dedicated train from South to North East India (Bengaluru to Guwahati), resulting in a reduction in average transit time from 10-12 days by road to five days by rail. The result was TCI’s presence in the rail freight segment for seamless and costeffective multimodal transportation of cargo.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Going ahead, the thrust of the TCI Freight division will be in the area of ODC business and railways, an attractive hedge against a fragmented and price-competitive trucking business. This division expects to grow 10-15%, benefiting from the organic growth in demand and gradual shift to the organized sector.

'INDIAN CEOS CAN MAKE GOOD GLOBAL LEADERS'

14 November 2011

 

Mumbai, Nov. 14 -- Successful Indian CEOs, characterised by their "vision, resilience and ability to look at things through a bi-focal lens, with equal emphasis on the daily cash balance" could make good global leaders, a top industry official said Monday.

McKinsey's director (India) Alok Kshirsagar said though India presently has few such CEOs, but with the rapidly changing economic environment, their numbers are expected to rise soon.

He noted that in the rapidly changing economic world, characterised by greater interconnectivity, collapse of geographical boundaries, diverse business environments and work cultures, the CEO's role assumes greater importance than ever before.

Kshirsagar's observations came at a session on the "Rise of the Indian CEO" at the 27th India Economic Summit, jointly organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the World Economic Forum here Monday.

Ingersoll Rand India chairman and president Venkatesh Valluri said the India of the 1980s, 1990s and the early part of the 2000, was very different and the challenges faced by the CEOs then were also very different as the approach was productivity-driven and several industries were at a very nascent stage.

Genpact India senior vice president Harpreet Duggal said at that time, there were huge pressures on leadership in the ITeS industry since the industry was at a very nascent stage.

'There were no clear policies, available talent, a ready market, or infrastructure in place. The attributes required of a CEO then were vision, ability, and most importantly tenacity to drive that vision and turn it into a reality,' Duggal said.

Other prominent industry leaders who spoke included Joseph Massey, managing director and CEO, MCX Stock Exchange Limited, India, Vineet Aggarwal, joint managing director, Transport Corporation of India; and Phanindra Sama, CEO, Pilani Soft Labs, India.
