MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

Economic Overview

India’s manufacturing sector grew rapidly in 2010-11. The CII ASCON survey conducted by the Confederation of Indian Industry concluded that most sectors, out of the 121 sectors covered in the survey, showed excellent growth of over 20%.

 

Industrial sector growth was buoyant during the first two quarters (April- June, July-September) of the current financial year. The manufacturing sector, particularly, showed remarkable robustness, growing at rates of 12.6% and 9.9% during these two quarters.

 

Thereafter, industrial growth began to moderate. This compares with global trends, as global manufacturing continued to rebound post crisis till the first half of 2010, thereafter moderating. India’s post recovery industrial output growth was largely driven by a few sectors such as the automotive sector, along with cotton textile revival, leather, food and metal products. The impact of favourable monsoons on the domestic demand- driven industrial sector was not widespread.

 

Industry structure and development

Lead has been extracted and used since 4,000 BC. It is the fifth-most widely used metal after iron/steel, aluminium, copper and zinc, and is among the most recycled non-ferrous metals. The main input for Lead recycling comes from Lead acid battery scrap, which is a hazardous material.

 

The global demand for Lead is over 8.5 million tonnes. India’s total annual Lead demand is around 6,00,000 tonnes. Lead demand in India is growing at a 12% rate annually, owing to rapid infrastructure growth, as against the global average of 6%. India lacks Lead ore reserves, and necessitates large scale imports and secondary sources such as recycling.

 

In India, the only primary Lead smelter is Hindustan Zinc of the Vedanta Group, which contributes around 65,000 tonnes of the total supply in India. Secondary smelters contribute around 3,30,000 tonnes of Lead supply, of which around 1,70,000 tonnes is contributed by the unorganised sector players and 1,60,000 tonnes by organised sector players annually. The balance is met by imports.

 

Around 71% of the world’s total Lead production is used in the battery segment, 12% in pigments/chemicals, 7% in sheets/extrusions, 6% in ammunition and 4% in other miscellaneous segments.

 

During Q4, the average Lead LME price per tonne increased to US$ 2,605, compared with US$ 2,219 in the corresponding prior period. For FY 2011, the average Lead LME price per tonne increased to US$ 2,244, compared with US$ 1,990 in the corresponding prior period. The industry is expected bound to gain from the 13.75% rise in prices to US$ 2,351 per tonne on the London Metal Exchange in the past one year.
