MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL ECONOMY

The global economy rebounds in 2010, improves marginally in 2011 led by demand revival in key global economies. In Asia and Middle East, Europe and Latin America, demand grew by over 7 per cent during the year on the back of a revival in the macroeconomic environment. Growing domestic demand has encouraged large capacity additions in Asia where around 41 million tonnes of paper and board capacity are likely to be added over the next 5 years. Of this, China alone is expected to add around 30 million tonnes of capacity while India would add 4 to 5 million tonnes.

 

INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The Indian Economy is estimated to grow over 7 per cent during 2012 and it is further expected that the growth momentum is likely to continue over the next few years.

 

With the increasing per capita income, growing emphasis on inclusive growth and faster development of infrastructure, education and health sector, India is well poised for major leap forward. Twelfth Five Year Plan in India is expected to further boost up the aforesaid sectors resulting in the great demand for cultural grade and industrial grade paper required for education, media and industrial sectors. But rising costs and inflation is a matter of concern. They do hope that effective steps will be taken to curb this trend without sacrificing the current growth momentum.

 

INDIAN PAPER INDUSTRY

Consumption of paper and paper board is closely linked to the economic development of a country. In India, though the per capita consumption of paper is low, it is gradually improving with buoyant economic growth. Industrial production, expenditure incurred on the print media, government spending on education, population growth and literacy levels are other contributing factors. With stable economic growth in the country, domestic demand for paper (including newsprint) has been steadily increasing over the years. It has grown at a 4-year CAGR of around 7 per cent to reach around 11.6 million tonnes in 2011-12 and expected to reach around 17 – 17.5 million tonnes in 2016-17.

 

The paper industry’s market size (including newsprint) in 2010-11 has been estimated at Rs.445000.000 Millions. It has grown at a CAGR of 8.7 per cent over the last 4 years from around Rs.320000.000 Millions in 2006-07. Of all the segments, paperboard has been the highest value segment in 2010-11 accounting for a share of around 42 per cent of the total market size. This was followed by W and P paper at about 37 per cent and newsprint at about 13 per cent. Specialty paper segment accounted for about 8 percent in 2010-11.

 

Around 215,000 new educational institutions are expected to be established in the country between 2010- 11 and 2015-16, as an outcome of the Indian government’s Right to Education Act (RTE) initiative. In 2009, the government had passed the RTE to stimulate the spread of education in the country. Correspondingly, the Gross Enrolment Ratio is expected to increase to 90 per cent by 2015 from 71 per cent in 2008. Additionally, initiatives like Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan and Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan have boosted demand for W and P paper.

 

The paperboard segment caters to the packaging of manufactured goods. It can be further classified into tertiary packaging, which includes kraft paper and consumer packaging, which includes greyback paperboard, whiteback board, folding box board (FBB) and solid bleached board (SBB). Demand for paperboard is closely linked to the level of industrial activity in the country.

 

Out of total industrial demand in 2010-11, kraft paper accounted for nearly 60 per cent, recycled boards like greyback / whiteback accounted for 31 per cent and virgin boards like FBB / SBB accounted for 9 per cent. Demand for paperboard has increased at a CAGR of 6.9 per cent to an estimated 5.0 million tonnes in 2010-11 from around 3.9 million tonnes in 2006-07.

 

The business environment in the sector is quite challenging and the companies producing high quality product and pricing at competitive rates alone can sustain and flourish in the domestic and international markets.

 

Paper industry has been granted a status of a priority sector for foreign collaboration and foreign equity participation upto 100% and is entitled to receive automatic approval from the Reserve Bank of India. More foreign players are expected to join the industry in the coming years.

 

Demand for paper and paperboard closely follow the economic growth of a country and have a positive orrelation to the prevailing economic trends. In India, the demand drivers and growth triggers have come from a combination of factors:

 

• The rising level of national income;

• The growing per capita disposable income;

• Rising aspiration levels of the people;

• increasing size of the population;

• spread of education and literacy throughout the country;

• Government’s several initiatives that focus on education; and

• Higher level of industrial activity and corporate spending.

 

Consistent economic growth in India is expected to result in the robust demand for paper, which has grown on an average 8% for past few years. During the past 5 years, newsprint has registered a growth of 13% while writing and printing paper registered growth of 7 ˝%. The Company operates in these sectors.

 

Emami Paper mill is the largest newsprint manufacturer in India and producing world class product and selling the same against stiff competition with the imported newsprint. With the constant high demand of its product, EPM expects strong financial performance in the coming years.

 

INDIAN NEWSPRINT INDUSTRY

The newsprint market in India is characterized with voluminous demand and high growth rate. However capacity of Indian paper mills is insufficient to meet the demand and almost 62% of the demand is met by way of import of newsprint. Thus this market is still very much open to absorb further expansions by the Indian Players, provided quality newsprint as per customer requirements are supplied at a competitive price.

 

CRISIL Research estimates demand for newsprint to grow by 9-10 per cent CAGR from 2.1 million tones in 2011-12 to 3.4 million tonnes in 2016-17, faster than the growth in circulation of print media. The sharper rise is also attributed to the expected rise in the number of pages per newspaper, mainly driven by rise in advertising spends of corporate. Rising literacy levels in the country have been driving the growth of print media in the country.

 

The National Youth Readership study in 2009 discloses following interesting facts those have major bearing over the Indian newsprint market.

 

• Nearly 24% of the household have newspaper subscription.

• Four out of every seven households of graduates and three of every eight urban households with literates buy a newspaper.

• Despite television being the most popular source of information (78%), followed by newspapers (53%), the later cored over television for news and current affairs information source.

• Literacy increased from 64.83% in 2001 to 74.04% in 2011, as per census 2011.

 

India has more daily newspaper than any other nation and out of world’s 100 largest newspapers 20 are Indian.

 

Manufacturing newsprint through the waste paper is prevalent in India. Since India does not have a developed waste paper collection system, raw material availability is low and prices are high. Consequently, imports of waste paper accounts for 55-60% of the total waste paper consumed (mostly from the US, the world’s largest waste paper market).
