In view of the said divestment, the said JVC has applied for the change of name. The JVC will continue to use the technology of the outgoing German partner for its captive consumption.

 

Industry Structure and Development

 

The economic activities registered significant growth during the year compared to the last year 2009-10. The overall situation was better than they had apprehended in the aftermath of the economic slowdown. However, the growth forecasts for this year are being revised downwards. What has changed in the last few months? Higher than expected inflation in the economy and the underlying pressures coming in from commodity and crude oil prices. But food inflation will come down in a few months and petro prices are already at the top end of the curve. The interest rate hike may impact it further but will definitely impact growth more. Amidst the fluctuating factors affecting the global economy and stagnation, the Indian economy grew at close to 8%.

 

Though the inflationary trend, high interest rate and volatile industrial growth were major causes of concern, the Indian economy has been successfully withstood. However, demand-supply mismatches and inconsistent monsoons put the economy on an inflationary trend and the trend continues in the current year.

 

The Company ended the year with stable performance and retained its position in the volatile market. The Company focused on cost control measures and product mix enrichment to sustain growth and profitability in the challenging year.

 

The Indian economy has emerged with remarkable rapidity from the slowdown caused by the Global financial crisis. The turnaround has been fast and strong. Growth is strong in 2010-11 with a rebound in agriculture and continued momentum in manufacturing, though there was a deceleration in services caused mainly by the deceleration in community, social and personal services, reflecting the base effect of fiscal stimulus in the previous two years.

 

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

 

Global economy is trying hard to stabilize the growth momentum. Negative growth rates by most developed countries are now being converted into positive growth rates. The radical measures taken by Central Governments and Central Banks around the world during Global economy meltdown have helped recovery across the globe.

 

India will continue to be one of the drivers of global economic recovery. The economy of India maintained a strong and steady growth momentum throughout the current global economic crisis unlike many other emerging market economies where growth decelerated sharply and, in some cases, turned negative.

 

In spite of continuous tightening of monetary policy and further escalation in global oil prices, most of the sectors are seeing increases in orders, credit off take is much higher than last year (April commercial bank credit rose by 22.1% yoy compared to 17.1% last year).

 

Exports grew by 37.5 % [fastest growth since independence]. Imports also showed an increase of 21.2 %. Strong export growth performance over the last five months has helped bring the trade deficit down to more manageable levels.

 

Apprehensions with regard to widening current account deficit have also been allayed. Commerce and Industry Ministry is now confident that the export target of US$ 450 billion by 2013-14 will be met.

 

Despite all these positives, manufacturing growth has been falling for 4 quarters; rates have been rising rapidly and, with a more aggressive RBI, are expected to continue to rise in coming quarters. There has also been a continued fall in investment.

 

Latest numbers for WPI based inflation show that headline inflation in March 2011 stands at 8.98%. Annual inflation rate for 2010-11 also highlights the continuous pressure the economy faces on the prices front. Overall inflation for 2010-11 stands at 9.4 percent and is much above what the RBI considers as the ‘growth promoting inflation rate’ and which is about 5 percent.

 

The Core Sector recorded an overall growth of around 5.7 %. Growth has been powered by sectors like crude oil, steel and power. However, performance of the coal sector is a reason for worry.

 

 

SEGMENT-WISE PERFORMANCE

 

During the financial year 2010 - 2011, the Company has achieved a Turnover of Rs.11772.090 Millions as against Rs.10463.700 Millions in the previous year, which shows a growth of 12.50% over the previous year.

 

The Turnover of Gear Division has increased to Rs.5246.400 Millions from Rs.4259.200 Millions in the previous year, which shows an increase of 23.17%.

 

The Turnover of MHE Division has increased to Rs.6525.690 Millions as against Rs.6204.500 Millions in the previous year, which shows an increase of 5.17%.

 

The Profit before Tax has increased to Rs.1206.900 Millions from Rs.903.170 Millions in the previous year resulting into a increase of 33.63 %.

 

The Profit after Tax has increased to Rs.879.21 Millions from Rs.661.75 Millions, resulting into a increase of 32.86%, over the previous year.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Investment, particularly fixed capital investment, is yet to recover to pre-crisis levels, inflation has been high and, while moderating, will not succumb in the case of food prices. Agricultural growth continues to be erratic, industry and infrastructure display volatility and waning momentum, except for some robust sectors like automobiles. The saving–investment gap is still large, leading to historically high current account deficits. Core sector growth is weak.

 

Despite all this, the economy is expected to grow by 9% in 2011-12, give or take one quarter of a percentage point. And the case for fiscal consolidation is strong.

 

The international environment is fraught. The high levels of public and private debt in the developed countries make the recovery they have made all the more tenuous. Luckily, India has diversified its trade linkages away from these economies and now has extensive commerce with developing countries and this offers some cushion against a still possible double dip in the advanced countries.

 

Against the backdrop of heightened uncertainty on the global economic front, spiraling global crude oil prices providing upward pressure to the persistent inflation and high interest rates, the Indian economy will grow during FY 12, gaining traction especially, during the second half of the fiscal year due to  improvement in private domestic demand conditions, moderating inflation towards the end of the fiscal year and anticipation of recovery gathering pace in the global economy during the second half of the fiscal year. Moreover, robust industrial activity is also expected to drive economic growth and the IIP is likely to grow by around 9.0% during FY12. However, the investment activity is expected to improve only marginally during FY12, weighed down by the high inflation and elevated interest rates. Given that a relentless rise in inflation does have the potential to impact growth considerably, the challenge before the RBI would be to manage the policy rates in such a way that it does not disrupt the growth prospects.

 

DEVELOPMENT IN HUMAN RESOURCES/INDUSTRIAL FRONT

 

It has been the tradition of the Company to maintain excellent industrial relations at all levels. This has ensured a very healthy level of enthusiasm within the employees. This has enabled the Company to maintain its growth despite competition and economic slackness. The number of employees as on 31st March, 2011 was 1197 as against 1069 as on 31st March, 2010.

PRESS RELEASE

 

CARE reaffirms rating assigned to Elecon Engineering Company's bank facilities

 

 

India, October 14 -- CARE has reaffirmed rating assigned for Elecon Engineering Company's long-term bank facilities aggregating to Rs.59.099 Millions at 'CARE AA-'. The credit rating agency has also reaffirmed rating assigned to company's long-term/short-term bank facilities aggregating to Rs.9000.000 Millions at 'CARE AA- / CARE A1+'. Meanwhile, rating assigned for company's short-term debt / commercial paper issue aggregating to Rs.1600.000 Millions also stands reaffirmed at 'CARE A+'.The ratings continue to take into account the long and established track record of Elecon Engineering Company (EECL) in the engineering industry with diversified product range, market leadership in the industrial gears, dominant position in the material handling equipment, strong order book position and reputed client base. The ratings also factor in the stable financial risk profile and favourable outlook of the end-use industry.The long-term rating is however constrained by the working-capital intensive operations of the company, increasing competition in a largely tender driven business, debt-funded capital expenditure continuously being undertaken by the company and debt-funded overseas acquisition with recourse to EECL as a guarantor.
