LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

 

Textile Division

 

The Textile Division of the company is located at Hisar in Haryana. It is an ISO9001 certified unit with a cotton yarn capacity of 74436 spindles. During the year, the turnover of the division has increased to Rs. 2718.300 Millions from Rs. 20.225 Millions last year recording a growth of 34.4% (approx). The division has performed well because of strong cotton yarn prices, operational efficiency and control of operational cost during the financial year.

 

The restrictions imposed by the Government of India on export of cotton yarn in the last quarter of the financial year, has hampered the volume growth of the division.

 

Besides expanding its export market by introducing value added products the Division is also focusing to broaden the domestic customer base by developing direct customers. During the year, the division has initiated modernization projects of its plant to enhance efficiency and add further value to its products.

 

IT Division

 

The domestic operations have shown a healthy growth due to maturity of business associations and flow of recurring orders from large domestic IT players. The division is an established player in data center management business with specialization in managing different systems, storage devices and databases. This is expected to open future opportunities for the division in providing specialized data center services to the fast growing small and medium enterprises in domestic market.

 

However, the Operating Profit of the division was adversely affected because the US onsite business of the division has underperformed during the year on account of extraordinary employee payouts, payment against past settlements, exceptional attritions and lower fresh order booking since order of major customers is put on hold.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

TEXTILE DIVISION

 

Industry Structure and Developments

 

The Indian Textile industry occupies an important place in the economy of the country because of its contribution to the industrial output, employment generation and foreign exchange earnings.

 

India at this juncture, with large cotton availability and good scope to increase the yield of cotton per hectare, has the additional advantage of skilled labour and management. Because of these factors, one can safely conclude that the growth of cotton production in India will intensify in the coming years.

 

However, level of competitiveness and growth of textile industry hinges more on Government policies than on operational factors of the textile industry. For instance, restriction on export of cotton yarn and suspension of Technology Upgradation Fund (TUF) subsidy have serious potentials to impact the growth of the textile industry.

 

Outlook

 

 

The Indian Textile Industry is one of the matured and leading textile industries in the world. The textiles sector is a major contributor to the Indian economy in terms of gross domestic product, industrial production and the country’s total export earnings. India earns about 27 per cent of its total foreign exchange through textiles exports. Besides, the Indian Textile industry contributes 14 per cent of the total industrial production of the country. This sector provides employment to over 35 million people directly and it is expected that the textile industry will generate new jobs during the ensuing years.

 

Although the outlook for the textile industry in buoyant, increased cost of raw material, more dependence on exports and stagnation/weak exports market are some of the reasons which may affect the textile industry. The globalization has also intensified the competition.

 

Financial and Operational Performance

 

The Textile division of the company has performed well during the year as cotton yarn prices jumped up considerably due to picking up of demand. However, due to restrictions imposed by Government of India on exports during the last quarter the capacity utilization during the year was affected adversely.

 

Manpower Development

 

The knowledge, competency and skills of the employees are being continuously developed to support them to become effective leaders in their domain. Training of the employees is a continuous and integrated process. Training is imparted according to the competency of each employee. Training and mentoring programs are designed accordingly. The company believes in investing today in training to create tomorrow’s leader. The process of TQM drive is in full swing, so as to promote the culture of excellence.

 

IT DIVISION

 

Industry Overview

 

The Indian information technology (IT) industry has played a key role in putting India on the global map and is estimated to become a US $ 225 billion industry by 2020. The Industry, which is still on the path of recovery from a global meltdown, earns 80 to 85 percent of its export income from software services and back office operations from the US and European markets. The industry has witnessed a turnaround in current fiscal 2010-11 by posting a double-digit growth largely due to renewed investments by global companies across verticals such as IT infrastructure, software and back office services. The industry’s annual growth had plunged to 6 percent in 2009-10 after recording a sound 25 percent increase during the previous four years. It is estimated that the export revenues will cross US $ 59 billion in FY2011 and shall constitute 26 percent out of total exports from India. Within exports, IT Services segment was the fastest growing segment, growing by 22.7 per cent over FY 2010, and aggregating export revenues of US $33.5 billion, accounting for 57 per cent of total exports.

 

The year started on a positive note, with the major Indian IT companies posting good profits, contrary to earlier indications of a drop in revenues. The industry players gave a positive outlook on the hiring scenario in the country, as well as in other offshore centers. As the year progressed, core markets like the US along with emerging verticals and geographic segments, witnessed a significant increase in demand, resulting in a 5.5 per cent jump in the overall industry revenues.

 

However, one of the adverse impacts of the global recession was the rise in protectionist sentiments across major markets like the US and Europe. In August, the US House of representatives passed a Bill that affected a steep hike in visa fees for skilled workers. The move was aimed at raising US $ 600 million to beef up security along the US-Mexico border, but would also result in US $ 200 million additional visa costs for the Indian companies every year. Earlier in the year, US announced that tax benefits would be taken away from American companies that ship jobs overseas.

 

Though the US, which is the largest contributor to the Indian IT sector’s revenues, saw demand returning, the slowdown in Europe continued. Currency fluctuation and a significant drop in new orders from the European region, the second largest market for the Indian IT players, added to the woes of the IT companies. According to NASSCOM, forex fluctuation has dented India’s competitiveness and “steps need to be taken to address India’s increased risk perception”.

 

Opportunities and Outlook

 

In 2011, technologies such as cloud computing and smart phones made the critical transition from early adopter status to the first stage of mainstream acceptance.

 

As a result, the IT industry will revolve more and more around the build-out and adoption of mobility, cloud-based application and service delivery, value generating overlays of social business and pervasive analytics. In addition to creating new markets and opportunities, this restructuring will overthrow nearly every assumption about who the industry leaders are and how they establish the mainstream leadership. The platform transition will be fueled by another solid year of recovery in IT spending. IDC forecast worldwide IT spending will be $1.6 trillion, an increase of 5.7% over 2010.

 

Meanwhile, social business software has gained significant momentum in enterprises over the past 18 months and this trend is expected to continue. IDC forecasts a compound annual growth rate of 38% through 2014. In a sure sign that social business has hit the mainstream, IDC expects 2011 to be a year of consolidation as the major software vendors acquire social software providers to jump-start or increase their social business footprint.

What really distinguishes the year ahead is that these disruptive technologies are finally being integrated with each other – cloud with mobile, mobile with social networking, social networking with ‘big-data’ and real time analytics. As a result, these once emerging technologies can no longer be invested in, or managed, as sandbox efforts around the edges of the market. Instead, they are rapidly becoming the market itself. This is throwing up a lot of challenges and opportunities, especially for companies’ like theirs.

 

The growth of these technologies will make the IT Infrastructure more complex. How the complexity evolves will need to be seen as the model matures. However as the complexity increases, the need for services of the type DCM provides shall also increase. The Division is keeping an eye on the type of models its customers are wanting and willing to use, and will build skills accordingly.

 

Outsourcing of work to low cost developing nations is growing rapidly in spite of the constant challenges it faces from the government and lawmakers of developed countries. Last 6 years have seen India become the Outsourcing hub of the world and trend seems to be continuing.

 

Within the areas of IT services growth, the IT division’s expertise lies in doing Systems’ Administration. This expertise is very specific niche area and few companies specialize here. This niche would be about 0.5-1% of the overall IT services market. In this market they have painstakingly built a positioning in the mind of customers for Unix and Storage services so that they can demand a premium.

 

The Division’s domain expertise includes a diverse knowledge of systems and technologies. Enterprises can benefit by leveraging on the Division’s robust global delivery model, proven methodologies, standardized tools and mature processes for enterprise infrastructure management services (IMS). DCM offers focused solutions in core infrastructure areas and leverages its proven IT infrastructure tools and methodologies to design solutions that are closely aligned to the client’s business strategy.

 

Financial and Operations Overview:

 

The India centric operations have shown a healthy growth, during the year. Customer associations with most large IT Service providers have matured and recurring orders are now being received. However the Overseas operations under performed on account of premature order closures and attrition. In addition, the direct costs increased disproportionately thereby adversely affecting margins. Corrective steps to balance costs and improve the sales effort have already been initiated and should start yielding positive results in the current year.

 

The division has also established itself in data center management business with specialization in managing different systems, storage devices and databases. This is expected to open future opportunities for the division in providing specialized data center services to the fast growing small and medium enterprises in India.
