INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

PERFORMANCE

 

The working results of the Company is a meta-narrative saga of a strong and solid performance in the physical parameters of expanded capacity of production of Pulp and Paper Board subverted by adverse conditions. The full fruitioning of the capacity in terms of the achievement of production of Pulp and Paper and Paper Board is significantly witnessed. However, the working results of the Company were adversely affected by the overriding sluggish market conditions coupled with a steep hike in the cost of raw materials, chemicals, coal, furnace oil, finance charges etc., and the incidence of the settlement with unions for the period of 15 months i.e., from 01.01.2011 to 31.03.2012. This was compounded by the breakdown of 34.5 MW Turbine for a period of about two months as well as trippings during the year not only affected the production but also resulted in higher power and fuel cost. Remedial measures and corrective actions have been initiated by the company to avoid such technical snags in consultation with machinery suppliers.

 

However, Paper market has taken positive turn from February 2012 and Company expects that results for the current year should improve, barring unforeseen circumstances due to higher sales realization and increased production of Paper and Paperboard.

 

The Company posted gross profit of Rs. 1586.600 Millions as against Rs. 1891.800 Millions in the previous year - lower by Rs. 305.200 Millions (16%) whereas there was a net loss of Rs. 335.600 Millions as against profit of Rs. 900.800 Millions in the previous year due to change in method of calculation of depreciation on new fibre line and chemical recovery island of Paper and Paperboard division resulting in higher depreciation/exceptional item by Rs. 1044.200 Millions.

 

DIVISION-WISE PERFORMANCE

 

A) PAPER AND DUPLEX BOARD DIVISIONS

 

The production of paper, paperboard and hardwood pulp was 3,08,230 MT (96.32% capacity utilization) (including 1,43,990 MT on new Paper M/c No.VI) against 2,67,005 MT in the last year (83.44% capacity utilization) (including 95,475 MT on new Paper Machine No.VI) i.e., higher by 41,225 MT. The sale of paper, paperboard and hardwood pulp was 3,05,818 MT against 2,67,992 MT in the last year i.e., higher by 37,826 MT.

 

The turnover during the year was Rs. 13227.700 Millions as against Rs. 10794.100 Millions in the previous year (both inclusive of excise duty), i.e., higher by Rs. 2433.600 Millions, due to increased production/sale.

 

Excise duty on paper and paperboard has been increased from 5% to 6% with effect from 17.3.2012, which was passed on to the market.

 

B) CABLE DIVISION – MYSORE

 

Production and sales of optical fibre cable in terms of quantity has reduced during the year to 20184 km and 20308 km, as against 27951 km and 27985 km in the previous year, respectively. Sale of optical fibre cable in terms of value, was of Rs. 288.200 Millions as against Rs. 277.800 Millions (both inclusive of excise duty) during the previous year. During 2011-12, the production was lower on account of manufacture of more high fibre count which however, increased realization compared to previous year.

 

Part of the facilities of the non-operating PIJF plant were utilized for manufacturing Control Cable and its production and sale was 341 kms and 337 kms respectively as against both production and sale being 248 km in the last year. Total turnover of cable division during year was Rs. 334.600 Millions as against Rs. 290.300 Millions (both inclusive of excise duty) during the previous year.

 

EXPORTS

 

Export of paper, paperboard and duplex board increased from 13650 MT worth Rs.530.700 Millions (FOB) in 2010- 11 to 23404 MT worth Rs.980.700 Millions (FOB) in 2011-12. Further, 876 km of Cable worth Rs.21.200 Millions was exported in 2011-12 compared to 1519 km of Cable worth Rs.15.700 Millions in 2010-11.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

PAPER DIVISION

 

There are about 750 - 1000 paper mills (organized and unorganized sector) in the country out of which large integrated units are only 14-15 nos. with a production share of about 28% and balance comprises of medium (Agro-based) and Small (Waste paper based) paper mills with production share of 72%.

 

The Indian paper industry is an integral part of the Nation’s economy and contributes to its growth and development. It is in this spirit that the Indian paper industry has continued to upgrade its capacities and technologies, in spite of huge challenges like shortage of raw material, highly capital intensive nature of the industry, threat of cheaper imports from China, Indonesia etc. From a situation where most paper mills were relatively small and with old technologies, we have now reached a stage where almost all major paper mills have adopted world class technologies and are fast progressing towards world scale of operations as well.

 

 

The Indian paper industry currently has a turnover of over Rs. 300000.000 Millions and contributes over Rs. 30000.000 Millions to the national exchequer. Even more importantly it is providing employment opportunities to over 1.5 million people, mostly in rural areas.

 

The domestic demand for all varieties of paper in India is estimated at around 11.6 million tonnes per year. Of this, writing and printing paper accounts for approx. 4.2 million tonnes, packaging grades for approx. 5.05 million tonnes and newsprint for about 1.75 million tonnes apart from specialty grade about 0.60 million tonnes.

 

Even though their domestic paper consumption has been growing  steadily, it is still only 10/11 kg per capita, which is abysmally low when compared to even highly populated and developing economies. For example, per capita consumption in China and Indonesia is estimated at 42 kgs and 23 kgs, respectively.

 

They have no doubt that given India’s projected GDP growth, the renewed thrust on universal education through Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan and Right to Education and the consequent changes in lifestyle, paper demand per capita will gradually move to at least 20 kgs per capita or 20 million tonnes by 2020 in their country, requiring more than double quantity of paper that they currently produce and consume.

 

To meet this demand, the Indian paper industry expanded its capacity recently close to 1 million tonnes, however recession set in 2008 slow down fresh capacity expansion coupled with uncertainty on raw material front particularly for wood based units. The capacity additions initially resulted into oversupply situation, which has now

been absorbed in the market.

 

Industry has upgraded process technologies, installed most modern fibre lines and high-speed paper machines with shoe press to boost the production, conserve energy and water and improve financial performance. Many mills have adopted extended delignification processes, ECF bleaching to modernise the fibre lines. In the area of paper making, adopted alkaline sizing, replacing clay and talk with GCC and PCC fillers and increase the ash content in paper to reduce usage of fibre. Industry has progressed in spite of challenges, improved environmental performance in terms of reduction of effluent volumes, reduction in terms of usage of steam, power, AOX reduction, apart from many other successful achievements in process technologies.

 

Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India vide its letter dt. 09.01.2012 has confirmed that Black Liquor Dry Solids (BLDS) is a Renewable Biomass Source which is a byproduct of wood, generated in the Pulp and Paper Industries and accordingly the integrated Pulp and Paper Mills are eligible for Renewable Energy Certificates for power generated by using steam from recovery boilers wherein, Black Liquor Dry Solids are fired which will generate additional revenue for these Mills.

 

Further, Ministry of Power, Government of India has notified unit-specific “energy use norms” for the paper industry vide Notification dated 30.03.2012 and the industry has to comply the same by the target year 2014-15. Noncompliance of the same will lead to penalties whereas improvement over the norms will be rewarded by issue of Energy Saving Certificates.

 

The major challenge for the Indian paper industry is raw material (wood) shortage. While the social forestry model adopted by the industry has helped improve plantations and pulpwood availability to some extent, these are by no means sufficient to meet the growing need for capacity expansions. Indeed lack of stable and viable sources of raw materials is a major impediment to the industry’s survival and growth and wood rates are going out of control

apart from availability for sustained production becoming a major concern. Import of pulpwood logs and chips is being explored by the Paper Mills.

 

Major paper producing countries of Latin America, Europe and Asia, including China, Indonesia, Malaysia etc., have adopted a policy of granting forest concessions to large paper mills to plant, protect and harvest pulpwood in a cost effective manner. In absence of similar enabling policies, paper mills in India have to necessarily depend upon small and scattered plantations developed through Industry’s social forestry initiative or Government controlled forests. In the process, the cost of collection and transportation works out to be greater than cost of the pulpwood itself. As a result, cost of raw materials in India has been continuously going up and has become most uncompetitive in comparison to the major paper producing countries in the world.

 

In the Union Budget for 2012-13, Excise duty on paper and paperboard has been increased from 5% to 6% with effect from 17.3.2012.

 

CABLE DIVISION

 

There are 12 Manufacturers of Optical Fibre Cables having installed capacity of around 700000 km. BSNL has released total 42000 Cable km of order for supply of 24F optical Fibre cables in the current year. BSNL is expected to release further OFC orders for different circles for their O and M requirement as there was a long gap in the last procurement and the current tender. Besides this, RAILTEL / Railways will come up with a requirement of 4000 kms in this year. Other major private telecom players like Aircel, Reliance Communication, Bharti, Tata Teleservices, VSNL, Vodafone etc., will also expand their network after successful launch of 3G, which will generate additional requirement of cables. Considering growing demand for bandwidth in telecom network, the Company is focusing on high fibre count Optical Fibre cable. The Company has got 2000 Kms of BSNL order after a long gap of nearly 4 years.

 

SEGMENT-WISE PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

The Company operates in two business segments – paper/ paperboard (including duplex board) at Dandeli and telecommunication cables at Mysore, apart from having wind mills of 1.75 MW capacity in Tamilnadu for power generation. Detailed segment-wise performance has been indicated in the Directors’ Report.

 

OUTLOOK

 

PAPER DIVISION

 

The paper industry is understood to be cyclical in nature and its performance depends on the global pulp and paper demand supply situation. The industry has also witnessed cyclical impact from May 2011 to February 2012 and has not been able to revise the prices to pass on part of the cost increase to the market. The Company has well-diversified product base which also insulates it from the cyclical impact. However, given the growth potential, outlook of paper industry is promising.

 

Over the past few months, the corporate sector is abuzz with news on expansions, acquisitions and fund-raising by Companies in Paper Industry. The M and A activity is catching up in paper industry as well. India is the fastest growing paper market in the world with growth in the range of 8-10%. The acquisition of controlling stake in The Andhra Pradesh Paper Mills Limited by International Paper Company, USA, is likely to lead to revamping of paper industry with a positive outlook.

 

CABLE DIVISION

 

Reliance Industries is rolling out 4G network in 22 circles utilising high fibre count OFC and their demand is expected to be approximately 250000 cable kms in next 2-3 years. Apart from Reliance Industries, other players like Bharti has also commenced work on 4G.

 

Government of India has planned to set up SPV called Bharat Broadband Network Limited, for implementing Rs. 200000.000 Millions National Optical Fibre cable Network (NOFN). The Network is expected to be operational by Nov’13. The demand of OFC will be 2500000 cable km for next 3-4 years.
