MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS 2010-2011

 

GLOBAL ECONOMIC CONDITION

 

The 21st century is seeing a fundamental reshaping of the way business, society and governments operate. In recent times, the economic crisis and its repercussions have accelerated the shift of economic power from the developed to the emerging nations and exposed a fragile world with limited capacity to respond to systemic risks.

 

As a consequence, the global economic growth has stymied and likely to traverse in an uncertain zone for some years to come. The major challenges besetting the world economy are managing the shift in balance of power from the developed to emerging economies, increasing competition for securing natural resources, improving productivity in the wake of growing skill mismatches, non-inclusive growth in the emerging economies and above

all, a looming economic uncertainty and socio-political fragility. Today the global economy is awaiting a movement where governments define new ways of relating to each other, operate in new frameworks and business models, while coping with the ever-evolving challenges.

 

A more thoughtful analysis reveals that global rebalancing needs to be a long-term, collaborative process. It must encompass those excluded from the fruits of global prosperity and encourage those who have prospered to continue doing so in a sustainable manner. The recent economic crisis and socio-political tensions demonstrated that systemic risks can no longer be tidily contained and addressed in a single ecosystem but require a multi-disciplinary, multi-stakeholder effort to improve the global economic system’s overall resilience.

 

Investments from developed economies have typically flown into emerging markets, which offer more dramatic growth and strong returns. However, some of these markets are associated with high volatility and socio-political tensions, giving rise to new set of investment risks. In addition, growing consumption demand in emerging markets is driving up commodity prices, both crude oil and other raw materials which is expected to impede the global economic recovery in the medium term.

 

OVERVIEW OF INDIAN ECONOMY

 

The Indian economy witnessed a higher growth in GDP of 8.5% for the year 2010-2011 over a growth of 8% in 2009-2010. A strong rebound in agriculture and continued momentum in some sectors of manufacturing and construction enabled the economy to achieve a higher growth in 2010-2011.

 

Economic growth was supported on the demand side, by private consumption during the year, and accelerated investment in the first three quarters of 2010-2011. Consumer durables, Automobile sector and engineering goods shored up the overall industrial sector performance. In 2011-2012, the projected growth rate is in the range

of 8% to 8.5%.

 

Aided by its young demographic profile, India is regarded as one of the youngest economies in the world with considerable opportunities as a consumer market and a manufacturing hub. To achieve a sustainable growth, the country needs to push forward critical governance reforms and innovative public-private partnerships to deliver rapid and inclusive growth and an enabling environment for upgrading infrastructure.

 

It is encouraging that Infrastructure has been the focal point of the government’s budget proposals for 2011-2012, accounting for a record 49% of total plan allocation. In order to strengthen public-private partnerships it has proposed additional avenues for financing infrastructure projects. However, the resilience of the economy would continue to get tested in the medium term by the challenges thrown up by a struggling world economy and domestic pressures of inflation and increasing interest rates.

 

Construction and turnkey projects business scenario industry registered a higher growth of 8.1% for the year 2010-2011 led by an increased level of activity of industrial and infrastructure construction segments. The growth trend is likely to sustain through the next year on the back of renewed thrust on infrastructure. The real estate and ITeS facility construction has gained traction, despite stringent regulations and financing issues. Increasing award of public-private projects in Airports and Ports sectors, besides the conventional Roads and Bridges sector have also triggered the growth.

 

The gross capital formation for 2010-2011 is lower at 7.6% as against 13.8% achieved in 2009-2010. The Core Industries registered a lower growth of 5.8% in 2010-2011, largely due to supply side constraints.The sluggish growth for the past 2-3 years in the Core Sector is dampening the fresh investment decisions. Similarly the industrial sectors saw an erratic growth trend during the year, thereby delaying new capex decisions. It is expected that with supply side constraints easing, the confi dence will re-emerge for undertaking fresh capacity addition projects.

 

In the Hydrocarbon sector, many greenfield and brownfield projects in all segments of industry got deferred. Internationally the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is experiencing socio-political tensions, which is dampening the investment climate in the hydrocarbon and infrastructure sectors of the region. However, with the hardening of the crude prices, prospects for turnkey projects in the Hydrocarbon sector in India and the Middle East, have increased.

 

Investments in Power sector are expected to be good over the next 5 years. While there is some slippage in achieving the targeted capacity additions during the 11th Plan, major capacity additions in the thermal power segment have been planned during 12th Five-year Plan, with special thrust to super critical technology. The sector, however, needs to tackle environmental and social issues expeditiously, besides tying up fuel sources so as to achieve the targeted growth in capacity.

 

BUSINESS CHALLENGES

 

Sustained economic growth in India on the backdrop of slow recovery internationally, will continue to attract global EPC players to the country. The emerging prospects in the Middle East are also expected to witness intense competition. Low cost Chinese power plant equipment manufacturers, armed with tariff protection and shorter delivery schedules, pose a major challenge to domestic power equipment manufacturers. On the cost front, input prices are expected to rise further. The ability of businesses to handle competition will depend upon success of technology tie ups, pre-bid alliances, cost leadership and execution excellence.

 

Order prospects for infrastructure, power, fertilizer, defence and aerospace, water and railways sectors largely depend upon the government’s ability to implement policy decisions and finance large scale projects. Power projects and new projects in minerals and metals sector face hurdles due to issues such as land acquisition, coal linkages and environmental clearances.

 

With increasing proportion of large sized Engineering, Procurment and Construction (EPC) orders under execution, meeting stiff delivery schedules set by demanding customers will require smart contract management and close project monitoring to achieve sales targets.

 

The year 2010-2011 saw sustained increase in the prices of major inputs and raw materials. Considering the huge need for domestic infrastructure, there could be some imbalance in the demand and supply scenario leading

to increasing costs and pressures on margins.

 

GROWTH STRATEGIES and THRUST AREAS

 

Ensuring cost competitiveness, timely execution of projects within cost estimates, managing volatility, control over working capital, achieving operational efficiency, improved supply chain management will be the key success factors for the projects and product businesses to achieve the desired growth in the medium term.

During the year Division registered a good growth in Sales and PBIT.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The world economy is seeing a turnaround. However, the recovery is uneven and vulnerable to downside risks. Political uncertainties in Middle East region have posed serious challenge to global recovery. Fiscal deficit position of US and major economies in Europe also adds up to cautious view on the growth momentum.

 

While developed economies are showing some sluggishness resulting in rise in unemployment levels, emerging

economies have come back on growth track.

 

High crude oil price scenario is expected to continue in the near term. The induction of stimulus packages into the economy has created liquidity and thereby leading to inflationary pressures and higher commodity prices.

 

 

Worldwide Oil and Gas Capex plans are expected to remain high and are expected to provide good prospects to the business of the Division in 2011-2012. Some of the key factors which will support growth in near future are:

• “Infrastructure” status given to fertilizer industry has created conducive environment for revamping and modifi cation of fertilizer plants.

 

• With increased thrust on gas production and transportation, boost in investments in cross country gas pipeline projects is expected On the back of healthy order book and good prospects during 2011-2012, the Division is expected to achieve healthy growth in the coming year.

 

EPC POWER DIVISION

 

 

OVERVIEW

 

The 2010-2011 has seen the emergence of EPC Power Division as a credible player in the power sector. This is gratifying as the success of EPC Power is critical to the Company’s performance. Definative steps have been taken by the Division, whereby, the Company will be providing equipment and services encompassing nearly 75% to 85% in value terms of a thermal power plant.

 

On January 11, 2011, the Company dedicated its Boiler and Steam Turbine Generator manufacturing facilities at

Hazira, Gujarat to the nation. The facilities have been set at an investment of nearly Rs.  20000.000 Millions, to usher in a new era of super critical technology equipment in Indian power plants.]

 

The year also saw substantial progress in setting up the facilities for manufacture of Power Auxiliaries at Hazira. The high pressure piping fabrication facility was commissioned and production has commenced in March 2011.

 

The facility for manufacture of Electrostatic Precipitators in Hazira, Gujarat is nearing completion and due for commissioning by September 2011. The joint venture with Howden, UK for the manufacture of axial fans and air-preheaters also made good progress in terms of factory construction and equipment ordering. With this EPC Power will have in-house capabilities to provide nearly 85% (by value) of equipment/services required in a power

plant.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The year 2010-2011 saw slew of power project prospects being delayed due to various reasons. With more clarity emerging on policy fronts, the Division expects several projects to be tendered this year both by IPP’s and state owned entities. The policy regime now favors establishing power plants based on super critical technology and sourced from indigenous facilities.

 

The Ultra-Super Critical Technology which is yet to be introduced in India, also will provide an avenue for innovation led growth. With most of the manufacturing facilities already commissioned, the Division is poised to harvest from the project awards expected from both private and state owned entities. Its key differentiators of execution excellence, technology leadership to offer energy efficient and resource efficient solutions will enable the Division in continuing to envisage good market opportunities.

 

HEAVY ENGINEERING DIVISION

 

OVERVIEW

 

Heavy Engineering Division is organized into two Independent Companies (IC) namely Heavy Engineering Independent Company and Ship Building Independent Company

 

OUTLOOK

 

The HE IC sees some of the international grassroot refineries, gas and fertilizer projects heading towards financial

closure, in the near future. Major domestic upgrade and expansion projects are also expected to be decided shortly.

South America, Europe, Middle East and South East Asia offer good potential for upgrade/expansion projects. The HE IC also expects good prospects from overseas Gas/LNG projects. The domestic fertilizer projects are expected to take off once the Government announces its new Urea and Gas Allocation policy. Fertilizer projects are expected in gas rich regions like Brazil, Algeria, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Russia. There are prospects for coal gasifi cation projects from China and Australia, as well as from India.

 

The Japanese nuclear crisis is leading to a thorough review of Safety Standards in their ability to handle multiple

natural disasters simultaneously. The Nuclear Sector Regulator is likely to be accorded autonomy for overseeing

Safety of Nuclear Plants. As a result of these structural changes, slowdown of 1-2 years is expected in Nuclear

Renaissance. Site selection criteria are likely to undergo change and will be more rigorous as compared to past. The HE IC is exploring new opportunities to reduce the impact.

 

The SB IC envisions itself to consolidate its position as an established platforms builder for the Indian Navy and Coast Guard and also enter into repairs and refits. Additional focus is being given on the Marine Equipment segment. With the opening up of the Defence sector and the thrust on indigenous product development and system integration capability, the share of private suppliers is expected to increase. The opening of the sector and indigenisation thrust by the Government is driving new private players to enter in the Defence sector. These would, in times to come, add to the competition in this segment. The upcoming shipyard at Katupalli as a deep water yard however, is expected to give the SB IC an added advantage.

 

It is also working on formation of Joint Ventures in key technology areas for Defence applications, with leading technology/system providers, which would lay the foundation for growth in the years to come. With the economic recessionary trend yet far from over, the coming year is likely to be challenging.

 

However, the SB IC is well poised to harness the good market opportunities in the medium to long term. The increasing oil prices are showing a revival in the Oil Exploration sector.

 

Thereby, the business prospects for offshore supply vessels and other support vessels have shown an upswing, especially from the Middle East. In the backdrop of many large public/private sector companies planning to increase/replace their fleet, the domestic market shows promise for the Ship Building IC.

 

The other sector which shows promise is Coal, with a large number of Thermal Power plants due to come on line in the next five years. The dependence on imported coal is due to increase which will require coastal vessels to transship from large ocean carriers. The IC also expects a growth in medium sized container vessels to carry between 2000-2500 TEU’s from main line ports to feeder ports.

 

Overall, the Division’s both ICs envisage good market opportunities in the medium to long term.

 

 

ELECTRICAL and ELECTRONICS DIVISION

 

OVERVIEW

 

The Division comprises Electrical and Automation Independent Company and Medical Equipment and Systems

business.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The electrical sector in India is expected to significantly grow as a result of several Government initiatives. Allocation in Union Budget 2011-2012 for Rural Electrifi cation projects under Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) is expected to boost electrical sector in the country. The Government has also envisaged significant capacity addition to meet its mission of power to all. These are major opportunities for the IC and will act as drivers of growth. The business is optimistic of robust growth through its electrical and automation solutions in sectors such as power, infrastructure, oil and gas and cement in the coming years.

 

On international business front, Gulf markets are expected to be the major contributors. Various Oil and Gas projects in Gulf region are showing revival and Utility industries are coming up with new projects. The business envisages a major opportunity in Qatar for the FIFA 2022 World Cup for which preparations will begin in this financial year.

 

Financial year 2011-2012 looks upbeat with increased Government spending in Healthcare, likely increase in number of new medical colleges and large hospitals expanding their operations. Increasing presence in the low cost segment and strengthening presence the mid to high-end segment with further skill building of sales and service workforce will remain key initiatives of this business in current financial year. Overall, EAIC and Medical business will focus on expanding its products and services offering in domestic market, increasing international business and reducing overall level of working capital.

 

MACHINERY and INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS DIVISION

 

OVERVIEW

Mining Machinery, Industrial Machinery and Industrial Products.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The market demand for Hydraulic Excavators is expected to improve in 2011-2012 on account of the increase

in spending in the urban infrastructure, roads, general construction sectors and spending by the Government on

various infrastructure projects.

 

It is expected that the Mining Equipment business will continue to see a growth on account of investments being made both in the public and private sectors to augment coal production. The demand for metals like iron ore, zinc

etc. is also expected to help growth of this business segment. Gap between coal demand and supply, continues to provide a growing opportunity for Mining Equipment. CMB is well placed to take advantage of these opportunities through supply of large size Mining Equipment both to the public and private coal producing companies. However, environmental and land acquisition issues may present impediments in the near term for expansion in mining equipment demand.

 

The Valves business saw a return of order booking, both from the  Hydrocarbon and Power sectors, during the year and this augurs well for the ensuing years.

 

With the implementation of the private sector projects in many states and the NTPC’s plan for new units there is a good scope for Valves business in the coming year. It is also pursuing opportunities with the Chinese contractors who have secured a large number of these projects in India. Demand for Industrial Machinery from Mineral Processing and Infrastructure segments continue to show an upward trend. This should provide good business opportunities for KBL in Crushing and Screening segment as well as Wheel Loaders. It is also expected that the ‘MARC’ Contracts for Surface Miners shall generate much larger business volumes in the coming years. The Global tyre companies announced their projects in India and a few of them have started acquiring land and initiated the project construction. It is anticipated that the investment plans of tyre majors will result in sizeable business opportunities for equipment suppliers. As a result, the Company is poised to take advantage of this situation with its plants in India and China.

 

With a view of consolidating and enhancing the Welding Products business, the Company bought out the stake of its partner in EWAC Alloys Limited which has now become a wholly-owned subsidiary. The prospects for this business continue to look good. New investments in machine tools by customers continued in 2010- 2011 adding to growth in market size and the Cutting Tool business of the Division is expected to register good growth in 2011-2012 as well.

L AND T METRO RAIL (HYDERABAD) LIMITED ACHIEVES FINANCIAL CLOSURE FOR HYDERABAD METRO RAIL PROJECT  THE LARGEST EVER FUND TIE-UP IN AN INDIAN PPP PROJECT

 

Hyderabad, April 05, 2011: L AND T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited, the SPV incorporated to implement the Hyderabad Metro Project, has achieved financial closure for the project. The financial closure has been achieved in a record time of 6 months and is the largest fund tie-up in India for a PPP (Public Private Partnership) project till date.

 

A consortium of banks led by State Bank of India has sanctioned the entire debt requirement of 11480 crore for the project. The equity component for the project, expected to be around 3440 crore, would be infused primarily by the L AND T Group. The project will get a viability gap grant of 1458 crore from the Central Government through the Government of Andhra Pradesh.

 

A total of ten banks have participated in the funding for this prestigious project. Leading banks which will be associated with the project, in addition to State Bank of India, include Canara Bank, Indian Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, Jammu and Kashmir Bank, Punjab and Sind Bank, State Bank of Hyderabad, State Bank of Mysore, State Bank of Patiala and Syndicate Bank.

 

Project Background

 

The Hyderabad Metro Project was announced by the Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) on PPP mode under the Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) basis and the bidding process was as per the guidelines specified by the Government of India (Ministry of Urban Development, Planning Commission and Ministry of Finance). L AND T emerged the lowest bidder in the face of stiff competition (the bid winning criteria was Minimum Grant quoted by the bidder) and signed the Concession Agreement through its SPV, L AND T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited, with the Government of Andhra Pradesh on September 4, 2010.

 

L AND T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited has already submitted a Performance Guarantee for 360 crore to GoAP underlying its clear intent to execute the prestigious project in the stipulated time frame. As per the Provisions of Concession Agreement, construction will have to be completed in 5 years. The concession period for the project is 35 years (including 5 years of construction period) and is extendable by an additional 25 years.

 

Project Details

 

Hyderabad Metro Project is one of the most prestigious and the biggest PPP contract in the Metro Sector in the world involving the construction of 71.16 km of elevated metro rail in three corridors criss-crossing the city of Hyderabad. Eco-friendly elevated metro stations would be located along the route at roughly every 1 km distance with passenger access through staircases, escalators and lifts. The project will be well integrated with the exiting suburban railway network (MMTS) and bus stops so as to ensure seamless and comfortable travel for passengers. Adequate parking and circulation areas adjoining the stations will be provided at 25 locations along the corridor.

 

 

This project will use state-of-the-art technology which includes the latest metro cars, signaling and communication system leading to automatic train operations. The automatic fare collection system will provide a user-friendly facility to use and share the ticketing system with the other modes of transport over a period.

 

The project allows the right to develop 18.5 million sq.ft. of Transit Oriented Development. Once implemented, Hyderabad will probably be the first city in India with integrated urban planning with inter modal connectivity and convenient sky-walks making seamless commuting a reality.

 

Project Benefits

 

With the ever increasing population (population increased from 4.48 million in 1991 to 6.38 million in 2001 and is currently estimated to be around 9 million in the city) and the number of registered private vehicles (22.8 lakh in 2007 which increased to 28 lakh at present showing a growth of 7% per annum), commuting is becoming increasingly unsafe and time consuming. The metro system being planned for the city can carry the same amount of traffic as 7 lanes of bus traffic or 25 lanes of private motor cars and is more reliable, comfortable and safer than road-based systems. It will reduce journey time by anything between 50% to 75%. Since this project will help in reducing carbon emitting cars and public transport buses along the metro corridor by running electric trains, it will be environmentally friendly and provide the citizens with a world class commuting experience.

 

The project is also expected to trigger mammoth economic activity in and around the city and provide employment to about 50,000 people including 1200 to 1500 technical professionals during construction.

 

Current Status of Project

 

Pre-construction works for the project has already commenced. Soil testing and topographical surveys have been completed in most locations along the alignment and conceptual engineering is nearing completion. Conceptual engineering is being undertaken by AECOM-Feedback Venture consortium. AECOM, the lead member of the consortium, is the industry leader in design of Mass Rapid Transit Systems and is ranked as the No. 1 design firm in ‘The Top 500 Design Firms as per ENR (Engineering Review) 2010’.

 

The alignment of the corridors of the project is being finalised in a manner that the heritage structures of the city are least affected.

 

Louis Berger Consulting Private Limited, a major US-based consultancy company with wide experience in the metro rail sector, has been appointed by GoAP through Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited as the Independent Engineer for the project after a rigorous competitive bidding process. The Independent Engineer shall oversee design and execution of the project so that it meets the technical specifications, key performance indicators and safety standards as laid down by the concession agreement.
