ECONOMIC REVIEW

 

India has sustained its economic growth and maintained its position as one of the better performing economies with a robust growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 8.6% in 2010-11, after remaining relatively unscathed by the global financial crisis in 2008-09. The growth was driven by the inherent strength of the country’s domestic demand, complemented by well formulated monetary policies of the Reserve Bank of India and the fiscal stimulus provided by the Government of India. Large investment plans by the Government of India across various sectors, rising per capita income and increase in rural and urban spending is expected to further accelerate economic growth in the coming years.

 

 

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK AND OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS THE RELATED SECTORS

 

POWER TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION (T&D)

 

The Global Power Transmission and Distribution sector has strong growth prospects for the years to come. This growth will be driven by huge investments in grid interconnection projects, networks for new power generation capacities and replacement of old existing networks.

 

The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts World’s installed power generation capacity to rise from 4,509 GW in 2007 to 7,820 GW in 2030. Total gross capacity additions amount to 4,801 GW over 2008-30. Total investment in power- sector over this period amounts to USD 13.7 trillion out of which Transmission and Distribution would require USD 2.0 trillion and USD 4.5 trillion respectively. Key international markets which are expected to do large investments in T&D infrastructure includes Asia and North America which are at different thresholds of power capacity addition.

 

 

INDIA (POWER TRANSMISSION)

 

Power is a strategic input and a prime mover for economic and social development of a country. India’s rapid economic growth over the last decade has resulted in creating additional pressure towards the development and augmentation of generation capacity and strengthening of the Transmission and Distribution segment commensurate with the pace of growth of the economy. The Government has developed aggressive investment plans to reduce the demand-supply deficit. While the Eleventh Plan targeted for a capacity addition of 78 GW, it is estimated that approximately 51 GW of generation capacity would be added by the end of the Eleventh Plan. The scale of opportunity becomes even larger in the Twelfth Plan wherein an ambitious target of 100 GW capacity additions has been planned. For these capacity additions to happen considerable investments both in public and private sector would be required and this in turn would also translate to additional investments in the T&D segment.

 

In order to create a national grid and reduce the technical losses during transmission, India is increasingly adopting HVDC technology and 765 kV transmission systems for interregional transmission lines. Also, with increase in higher size generation projects coming up, for e.g. mega and ultra mega power projects, requirement for power evacuation at higher voltage and longer distance has increased.

 

The Eleventh Plan had an estimated expenditure of Rs.1400000.000 Millions in Transmission which is proposed to increase significantly in the Twelfth Plan to Rs.2400000.000 Millions. The bulk of investments in the transmission segment still continue to be done by Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL) and state utilities, while the private sector constitutes only a small portion.

 

 

INDIA (POWER DISTRIBUTION)

 

In the Rural Electrification space, the Central Government has been taking several steps through various schemes such as the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) in which the Government provides 90% capital subsidy for projects with an objective to electrify over 1 lac un-electrified villages and to provide free electricity connections to 2.34 crore rural Below Poverty Level (BPL) households. Another scheme was the Restructured- Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (R-APDRP) with an outlay of Rs.500000.000 Millions, to strengthen the urban distribution networks.

 

In the sub-stations space, the focus in the Eleventh Plan was mainly on the 220kV and 400 kV sub-stations. However, the Twelfth Plan is expected to focus on increasing capacity in 500 Kv and 765 kV sub-stations space.

 

 

NORTH AMERICA – UNITED STATES AND CANADA

 

The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) of 2009 is facilitating USD 11 billion dedicated to the T&D grid in the United States of America. These investments would be for augmentation and strengthening of the transmission system, modernising the national electric grid and smart grid and improving the security of the transmission and distribution system.

 

Transmission utilities across Canada are making large investments in the maintenance of aging infrastructure and in the construction of new power lines and sub-stations to connect new generation sources to the bulk power system with estimated investment to the tune of USD 6 billion.

 

 

NORTH AMERICA – MEXICO

 

Mexico’s utility The Comision Federal de Electricidad (‘CFE’) owns and operates the national grid of Mexico. As per CFE’s 2009-2018 investment plan, they estimate that approx. USD 9.3 billion investment in transmission will be required for the power grid to meet the expected demand due to an increase in population.

 

 

LATIN AMERICA - BRAZIL

 

The International Energy Agency forecasts an estimated USD 10 billion per annum investment in the Power sector till 2030. The investments would be necessary to reinforce the T&D system and meeting expansion needs of new power generation under construction in remote regions.

 

The upcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympics also necessitated the Government’s focus on infrastructure development. On the other hand, deregulation has increased private sector involvement in grid development.

 

 

MIDDLE EAST

 

The major demand driver in the region is upcoming large power generating plants including nuclear plants, development of inter-country/regional interconnection lines and increasing private investment.

 

Total estimated investment in the Middle East region as per IEA’s World Energy Outlook 2009 Report is approx. USD 25 billion in Transmission and approx. USD 52 billion in Distribution segment between 2008-2015.

 

Realising the future demand, many of the Middle East countries have embarked on restructuring and unbundling process of their power sector into generation, transmission and distribution areas thus providing opportunity for these business segments to focus on their core business, and also encouraging capital investments from the private sector.

 

 

Africa

 

The power sector in Africa is very small in comparison to its geographical size and population, thus providing scope for growth. Total estimated investment in the African region as per IEA’s World Energy Outlook 2009 Report is approx. USD 21 billion in Transmission and approx. USD 42 billion in Distribution segment between 2008- 2015.

 

 

CENTRAL ASIA

 

Central Asia region continues to be a high potential market with many large projects in the pipeline. Central Asia is going to witness a growth in power demand and lot of investment in Power sector is being planned in this region, especially related to Hydro electric projects. This will also result in lot of demand for Transmission and Distribution system.

 

 

CABLES

 

The demand for cables is directly dependent on the growth in power sector, railways, real estate, telecom, refineries etc. Of the total requirement for cables, 80% requirement is from power sector, followed by 10% requirement by telecom sector and balance from other industries.

 

The current market size of Power Cables in India is estimated to be around Rs.120000.000 Millions per annum and is expected to grow to Rs.200000.000 Millions per annum during the Twelfth Plan period.

 

There is an increasing demand for Extra High Voltage cables (66 kV and above) and the same is expected to grow significantly in the future due to overall urbanisation. The demand for optical fibre cables is increasing given the growth in the telecom sector, making India the fifth largest consumer globally.

 

 

TELECOM

 

The telecom operators are now targeting ‘B’ and ‘C’ class cities for growth where there can be an increased demand for towers. The allocation of spectrum for 3G and broadband wireless access services may also increase the requirements for tower supplies.

 

 

RAILWAYS

 

The Annual Railway Budget of Government of India has proposed the highest ever plan outlay at Rs.576300.000 Millions for 2011-12 on Indian Railways.

 

Key focus areas for investments includes electrification, capacity enhancements, addition of new lines, gauge conversion, doubling of lines on congested routes, construction of dedicated freight corridors, repair and rehabilitation of tracks and bridges, replacement of overhead-based communication systems with Optical Fiber Cable (OFC) and quad-cable-based communication systems to achieve real-time control.

 

The Delhi Metro Phase III and Mumbai Metro phase III are proposed to kick-off in FY 2012. Delhi Metro Phase III would add another 105km to the network at a cost of Rs.280000.000 Millions built over next four years. The Government of India, Ministry of Railways has plans to complete the Dedicated Freight Corridor project (around 2,700 km) by 2017 at an estimated cost of Rs.400000.000 Millions.

 

 

WATER

 

India with 2.3% of the world’s total area has 16% of the world’s population; but only has 4% of the total available fresh water. Further, only 21% of the total Indian population has access to piped drinking water and 28% of Indian population has sustainable access to improved sanitation facilities. Only 27% of the waste water gets treated before disposal which is increasingly causing pollution.

 

Technological changes are driving the way water is used, cleaned and reused. Industries are investing in new technologies and processes that reduce water use and waste water discharges. Agricultural productivity is being leveraged by drip irrigation and maintained by soil fertility and conservation techniques. As water scarcity becomes acute, it is expected that there will be an increased demand for large-scale and cost-effective water-reuse technologies and improved desalination and purification technologies.

 

The Eleventh Five Year Plan has an allocation of Rs.2462340.000 Millions for irrigation, flood control and command area development and Rs.1116890.000 Millions for urban water supply and sanitation projects targeting 100% water supply and sanitation to urban populations. The Government also permits 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in all water system projects, further opening the growth opportunity in the sector. The Government has also initiated Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) to encourage reforms and fast track planned development in identified cities where it invests substantially for water supply, desalination and sanitation in respect of water related schemes.

DODA, KISHTWAR PLUNGE INTO DARKNESS AS NHPC TRANSMISSION LINE DEVELOPS SNAG

 

Early Times (India)

30 August 2011

 

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

 

Kishtwar, Aug. 30 -- Doda and Kishtwar districts today plunged into darkness following a technical snag in the 132 KV transmission line of NHPC at Khora Pani here.

 

There was no electricity in the two districts for the past 12 hours, leading to inconvenience to the people.

 

Though efforts were being made to find out and repair the snag, the electricity had not been restored till late tonight. The 132 KV line provides electricity to 70 per cent consumers in the erstwhile Doda district.

 

The line developed some technical snag due to excessive load on it, official sources said.

 

The Congress-PDP coalition government, led by Ghulam Nabi Azad, had sanctioned Rs.2000.000 Millions under Prime Minister Reconstruction Program (PMRP) for the construction of four grid stations at Banihal, Ramban, Gandoh and Kishtwar. In addition to 4 grid stations, Azad had also accorded sanction for double circuit 132 KV transmission line at the cost Rs.1500.000 Millions.

SPEED-BREAKER: INFRA SECTOR MAY SEE A SLOWDOWN

 

Hindustan Times (India)

31 July 2011

 

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

 

Mumbai, July 31 -- The infrastructure sector is likely to grow at a slower rate than expected amid concerns of a slowdown in the Indian economy and global debt worries, said Ramesh Chandak, managing director and CEO, KEC International. "If you ask me, is the business growing? Yes it is. But is it growing at the expected rate? Then I must say no, it isn't," said Chandak.

 

KEC, the Rs.21000.000 Millions RPG Group company, feels that there is a strong potential for growth in emerging economies particularly in Africa.

 

The company sees a robust two-three years ahead for the infrastructure industries and especially KEC, which has now added water, power, railways and cabling to its transmission-driven business.

 

"These days you talk about countries in trouble. The first thing a country in trouble does is to increase its spend on infrastructure -roads, power, water, etc. The power sector is growing very fast in the emerging economies, particularly Africa. I see a lot of potential for growth. For the next five years we are in the right business, right company and have the right credentials."

 

Chandak also stressed on the need to create a pool of skilled workforce for the sector as the industry is facing a crunch on that side. The only long-term solution to this is to improve the salary structure of skilled workers, he said. Published by HT Syndication with permission from Hindustan Times.

 

 

 

OVERSEAS BORROWINGS SET TO RISE

 

MINT
28 July 2011

 

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

 

MUMBAI, July 28 -- Indian companies will increasingly look to borrow overseas in the next few months as money becomes dearer at home following the latest interest rate increase, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reining in loan growth at commercial banks and the local currency strengthening.

 

This could hit business at Indian banks as companies raise dollar denominated funds abroad by way of external commercial borrowings (ECBs), bankers said.

 

"That is quite natural," said Bhaskar Sen, chairman and managing director of Kolkata based United Bank of India. "In certain cases, it is already happening. Business volume will come down and borrowers will either look for alternative source of funds or postpone their pro- jects."

 

On Tuesday, RBI raised its key policy rate by a more than expected 50 basis points (bps) to 8% to tame inflation, the 11th time it has done so since March 2010. One basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.

 

Foreign currency borrowing has been on the rise for some time. Between January and May, Indian companies borrowed $14.5 billion ('63,800 crore today) through ECBs, up 28% from $11.35 billion in the same period a year earlier, according to RBI data.

 

The differential between Indian and overseas rates works out to 3-4% even after hedging for the dollar cost, said Ashish Parthasarthy, treasurer, HDFC Bank Limited

 

"Companies wanting to raise non-convertible debt of say '500 crore will have to pay interest in double digits. The same money is available in dollar terms for a tenure of three years or more at a rate 4% cheaper," Parthasarthy said.

 

The ECB borrowing rate is linked to the six-month London inter-bank offer rate (Libor), currently 0.42%. Typically, Indian companies pay about 300-400 bps above Libor on such loans.

 

In the current scenario, even after factoring in 3-6% hedging costs, the effective rate works out to 7.5-10.5%, lower than even the base rate, the minimum lending rate at commercial banks. Firms typically pay at least a few percentage points more than the base rate, which is 9.5% at state owned State Bank of India, the country's biggest commercial bank.

 

Such decisions are also determined by other factors, said Koushik Chatterjee, group chief financial officer, Tata Steel Limited

 

"Whether foreign borrowing makes more sense than (borrow- ing) in India depends on where the deployment of the fund is going to be," Chatterjee said. "If the fund is to be spent overseas, obviously it makes more sense to borrow outside. However, if the debt is going to be serviced out of cash generated from Indian operations, then it is still better to borrow locally as the all-in cost, including that of hedging, will be almost the same and the arbitrage will be much narrower." Tata Steel does not have any fund raising plans currently.

 

In May, the government had raised the headroom for companies to borrow abroad to $30 billion from $20 billion for fiscal 2011-12.

 

The rupee's movement has also made overseas borrowing attractive. It hit a three-year high against the dollar on Wednesday as investors bought the Indian currency attracted by the interest rate differential. A stronger rupee benefits companies borrowing overseas. The rupee touched 43.85 against the dollar, the highest since 29 August 2008, be- fore closing at 44.08, the strongest since 8 April 2011.

 

The US Federal Reserve's tar- get fund rate is currently 0.25%, making for a differential with the domestic rate of about 7.75%.

 

Banks that have raised lending rates following the RBI move include Yes Bank Limited. ING Vysya Bank Limited and Development Credit Bank Limited. Others are expected to follow suit in the next few days.

 

Indian banks can't compete with overseas lenders, said R.K. Bansal, executive director at state owned IDBI Bank Limited.

 

"If a company can borrow at cheaper rates abroad, then why should it borrow from the do- mestic market?" asked Bansal.

 

"Indian banks are giving high rates because they are paying high rates on deposits. Given inflation staying where it is today, the situation is likely to persist."

 

RBI lowered the loan growth target for Indian banks to 18% in the current fiscal from its earlier projection of 19% in a clear indication to banks that they should go slow on disbursals and there by curtail credit demand.

 

Most bankers, including State Bank of India and its nearest competitor, ICICI Bank Limited, have said there have been signs of such moderation. Year-on- year bank loan growth slowed to 19.5% in July from 21.3% in March.

 

Indian companies which earn receipts through exports have a natural hedge and, hence, their costs are much cheaper, making borrowing from abroad a foregone conclusion for them, said HDFC Bank's Parthasarthy.

 

RBI governor D. Subbarao said on Tuesday that the central bank was not worried about the increase in dollar inflows because of the wider interest rate differential.

 

"That's the way the markets operate. But there are caps on interest rates, restrictions on end use of the money and tenor. Those will ensure ECB flows are not too much," Subbarao said.

 

For instance, effective January 2010, companies are not allowed to pay more than 300 bps above Libor for a loan up to five years and more than 500 bps above Libor for loans above five years.

 

They are not allowed to borrow abroad for tenures less than three years. Besides, only loans taken for capital expenditure, trade finance and imports qualify as ECBs.

 

Vardhan Dharkar, chief financial officer of KEC International Limited, the flagship of Harsh Goenka controlled RPG Enterprises, agreed corporate houses will be inclined to borrow from the overseas market.

 

"At present, around half of our debt is in foreign currency, and this may possibly increase by another 5%," Dharkar said.

 

"Our strategy to optimize the cost of borrowing continues and depending on the kind of project we are undertaking and the time, we will assess whether to borrow from India or outside." Published by HT Syndication with permission from MINT.
