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.

The Company is engaged in the business of manufacture and sale of personal computers and laptops, accessories and peripherals. The computer hardware industry has become akin to home appliances segment; there has been modest growth in the sale of computers both in terms of volume and turnover with prices remaining depressed and challenging, during the year.

The Company’s objectives of information of the products, its standing vis-à-vis the MNC brands, the price and superior quality sensitivity have been achieved. The Company’s advertisement program with a frequency of 5-6 weeks for bringing the products of the company to the knowledge of the public and road shows for effective sales of its products continues to generate interest especially among students and senior citizens.

 

The outlook for industry continues to be positive. The Company is hopeful that with the combination of market development and expansion activity, there will be healthy growth over the next year.
