GLOBAL AND INDIAN ECONOMIC SCENARIO

 

The road to recovery from the great recession is proving to be long, winding and rocky. After a year of fragile and uneven recovery, growth of the world economy started to decelerate on a broad front in mid-2010. The slowdown is expected to continue in 2011 and 2012. The outlook is shrouded in great uncertainty and serious downside risk remains globally. The United nations baseline forecast for the growth world gross product (WGP) is 3.1% for 2011 and 3.5% for 2012, which is below the 3.6% estimated for 2010 and the pre-crisis pace of global growth. Better outcomes may be expected only through strengthened international policy co-ordination.

 

Among the developed economies, USA has been on the mend from its longest and deepest recession since second world war. At 2.6% in 2010, the growth is expected to be moderate further to 2.2% in 2011 and to improve slightly to 2.8% in 2012. The growth prospects for Europe and Japan are even dimmer and the growth in the euro area is forecast virtually stagnate at 1.3% in 2011 and 1.7% is 2012 as against the growth in 2010 was 1.6%. Many European countries such as Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain will see even less growth challenged by persistent deflation and elevated public debt, the economy is expected to grow by meager 1.1% in 2011 and 1.4% in 2012.

 

Among the economies in transition, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Georgia experienced a rebound in GDP by about 4.0% on average in 2010, up from the deep contraction of 6.7% in 2009. Increased external demand and rebounding commodity prices are the drivers of the recovery. The recovery has slowed in the course of 2010, however, output growth is not expected to accelerate in the outlook for 2011 and 2012. In 2011 and 2012, the pace of recovery in South - Eastern Europe is expected to be rather slow.

 

The developing countries continue to drive the global recovery, but their output growth is also expected to moderate to 6.0% on an average during 2011-2012, down from 7.1% in 2010. Developing Asia, led by China and India, continues to show the strongest growth performance, but GDP growth in these two new economic giants is expected to experience some moderation in 2011 and 2012. Growth in Latin America, particularly that in the South American economies, is projected to remain relatively robust at about 4.1% in the base line forecast.

 

India is rated today as one of the most attractive investment destination across the globe. As per International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Indian economy is projected to expand by 8.2% in 2011, unchanged from its growth forecast made in April. However, this is much lower than 10.4% growth witnessed in 2010. Inflation and hike in input costs have played a major role in striking the GDP. The multilateral lender's latest projection comes at a time when the country is grappling with uncomfortably high inflation that threatens to derail its growth story. Inflation in India, which is the second fastest economy after China, crossed 9.0% mark in May. IMF expects India to expand at a much slower pace at 7.8% in 2012, according to the world economic outlook report. The multilateral lender had earlier in April estimated that the Indian economy will expand by 8.2% and 7.8% in 2011 and 2012, respectively.

 

As per India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the overall growth Index of Industrial Production (IIP) during 2010-2011 was about 7.8%. The six core industries comprising of crude oil, petroleum refinery products, coal, electricity, cement and finished carbon steel and which accounts for nearly 27% of the total, grew by 5.7% as compared to 5.4% in the previous year. The domestic environment is conducive for growth and private final consumption expenditure is projected to grow by healthy 7.5% and gross fixed capital formation by 14.6%. On the back of such facts, India's GDP is projected to continue to row at a brisk pace of 8.8% in 2011-2012.

 
STEEL INDUSTRY
 

Industrial climate during the year has marginally improved for the Steel Industry, Automobile and Auto Components Sectors. The Indian Steel Industry also witnessed the marginal growth during the financial year 2010-2011. The Alloy steel industry in general also showed good improvement in production, commensurate with the demand of steel for automobile application. The growth in the manufacture of commercial vehicles during the year was significant. In other areas of automobile industry, motorcycle production also shown growth which improved the demand of alloy steel for component manufacture for this industry.

 

The overall inflation for 2010-2011 stands at 9.4% and is much above what the RBI considers as the 'growth promoting inflation rate' and which is about 5%. In the manufactured products category too signs of a buildup in inflation have strengthened with segments like edible oils, cotton textiles, man-made textiles, basic metal alloys, iron and steel and rubber and plastic products seeing a considerable increase in prices. This has relatively increased the input costs as manufacturers have crossed the level beyond which holding price line is no longer a viable option. having entered into the areas of manufacturing of wire rod and bars of alloy and special steel, after

commissioning vacuum degassing, has been able to embark its growth even in such economic conditions.

 

MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT

Subject has been able to increase its turnover during the year by about 14.24% over the previous year, mainly due to marginal rise in selling prices of its products. However, due to abnormal rise in the cost of inputs such as pig iron, iron ore and coke, full benefit could not be realised.

 

In order to achieve effective cost reduction and improvement in productivity, activity of total productive maintenance (TPM) continued to be implemented by the Company during the year.

 

OPPORTUNITIES

 

The Company see more opportunities in the years to come due to continuous developments of new grades of high alloy steel as well wire rod. Further, venturing into the self dependency of raw material will help in decreasing in the cost of production and enhancing the profitability. This has even proved advantageous during the recessionary period which is very good sign for the Company.

 

The transition to GST would be an important milestone from a macro perspective, moving from the current system of different types of indirect taxes at multiple rates. The new system would cover a wider base, including all goods and services and would create a vibrant common market. The GST would aim to bring considerable economic benefit in the form of reduced transaction costs, revenue neutrality and substantially lower taxes. The current system taxes production, whereas GST would tax consumption. Indeed, current law levies taxes on the movement of goods from one state to other - effectively creating borders within borders. It also distorts the allocation of resources and inhibits productivity growth.

 

THREATS

 

The global slowdown as well as rising and fluctuating prices of raw materials is adversely affected the output prices thereby causing hardship to the customers. The availability of the quality raw materials Iron Ore, Coal, LAM Coke is the cause of concern for the industry. As such there is no threat to other than those mentioned above.
