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.

PROFILE:

 

The firm is a dedicated manufacturer of detergent soaps brand name EXO and UJALA for Jyothy Laboratories based in Mumbai. Jyothy labs are one of the top 5 detergent suppliers to our country. A word about Jyothy chemicals will bring to light how big the company is and Prabhu being their dedicated manufacturer plays an important role in their production process.

 

A word about Jyothy Laboratories from the latest financial news papers:

 

MUMBAI: Private eauity Alisters are racing to buy a minority stake in Jyothy Laboratories after the home grown FMCG major embarked on raising Rs 5500.000 Millions, said people briefed on the matter. TPG Capital, Advent International, Warburg Pincus and Bain Capital re in the fray following the Mumbai-based detergent maker, which acquired Henkel India, starting talks with half a dozen investors in recent weeks. Jyothy Labs hopes to divest just under 20% stake to a preferred suitor with an offer price of Rs 200 per share, which is about 20% premium to the current stock price. The development closely tracks the company's 1:1 bonus issue and a turnaround in last year's acquisition of the troubled Henkel India. Jyothy Labs shares closed at Rs 173 in Mumbai trade on Tuesday. GIC of Singapore, UK's Actis and Apax Partners are the other possible contenders. The three-decade-old maker of Ujala whitener will use the funds to retire debts arising out of the Henkel buy. Investment bank MAPE Advisory is managing the fund raising process.

 

Jyothy has been open to inducting a big PE investor to back the Henkel acquisition, but postponed plans as markets tanked last year. But a bounce-back in the stock price and a seemingly successful integration of Henkel India's operations has buoyed the company to refresh the fund raising plans. One of the sources mentioned earlier claimed that Henkel's standalone operations, which were incurring operating losses, have pulled back after staff reduction, closure of plant and stringent cost controls. The Henkel deal helped Jyothy Laboratories hop onto the top five bandwagon in the sector, which is dominated by Hindustan Unilever. Henkel's brands include Margo and Fa (personal care), Pril (household care), and Henko, Mr. White and Chek (detergents), boosting Jyothy's total brand portfolio to 10. Jyothy, which plans to merge Henkel India by next fiscal, also runs a chain of branded laundry and fabric spas where IL and FS is an investor. PEs are chasing the deal buoyed by the fact that German giant Henkel has an opportunity to buy 26% stake in Jyothy in the next four years, as part of an agreement struck during last year's takeover of the Indian unit. This throws up possibilities for financial investors in one of the fastest growing domestic consumer products companies which, some analysts argue, does not have a strong family succession plan.

 

In Introduction to the company Jyothy Laboratories:

 

Jyothy Laboratories came into being in 1983, powered by the vision of one man - M P Ramachandran - the current Chairman and Managing Director. Started as a proprietary concern, manufacturing and selling a single product in a single district, the organization has grown to become a multi-brand, multi-product company with operations all over the nation.

 

The company has the distinction of making a mark in the virtually non-existent category of liquid fabric whitener. With products that are reasonably priced, conveniently packaged, extensively distributed and supported by strategic communication, Jyothy Laboratories Limited has well and truly earned its place in the market as well as in the minds of millions of households in India.

 

Today, Jyothy Laboratories Limited has a pan Indian presence with brands catering to the needs of consumers across the length and breadth of the nation. From a fledgling entity that embarked to translate the dream to make a difference, from starting operations with a corpus of INR 400000.000 Millions to a group turnover of over INR 10000.000 Millions, Jyothy Laboratories Limited has come a long way. Jyothy Laboratories Limited is surging ahead to keep its tryst with the founding ideals - Untapped markets, Innovative products and Cater to the common man. Jyothy Laboratories through its market analysis looks out for a vacuum that can be filled.
