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.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
 
The Indian macroeconomic environment has looked turbulent during the  past  year.  After a promising start to the decade in 2010-11, with  achievements  like maintaining GDP growth rate around 8%, bringing down fiscal deficit to 4.8%  of  GDP as well as containing current account deficit  to  2.6%,  the fiscal  year 2011-12 has been challenging for the Indian Economy. The year started on a note of optimism through impressive growth in exports and high levels of foreign exchange inflows, only to moderate as the year progressed through continued monetary tightening in  response  to   the   untamed  inflationary  pressures. Gradually, high levels of inflation gave way to a slow-down in the growth. Additionally, as fiscal conditions worsened  over the  year,  export  numbers were revised in  light  of  data  discrepancies leading  to  a widening of trade deficit. In light of a perceivably weak macroeconomic environment, a well-planned economic revival policy from the Government`s part is required to get back the Indian Economy on the path to stable and prosperous growth. Fall of rupee against major currencies,  new norms  of  standard-size packaging, increase in raw material costs  due  to upward  spiraling  interest rates and inflation, together  might  adversely impact the performance of the FMCG products.  India needs sustained capital inflows to finance its growing current-account deficit. Although economic reforms appear to have slowed down, it appears that FIIs are continuing to invest in India. However, it is also an undeniable fact that the Government continues to face challenges in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI). As  per World Bank`s report titled `Global Economic Prospects`  the  Indian economy will grow by 6.9% in this Financial Year (2012-13)  notwithstanding problems like policy uncertainties, fiscal deficit and inflation.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
Review of Economic Scenario and impact of Union Budget 2012:
 
The Indian Economy showed signs of slowdown during the past year and the same could be attributed to the Global Economic Slowdown.  The Economic Survey 2011-12 states that despite a slowdown in the growth rate of the Indian Economy as compared to the preceding two years, India remains  among the  front  runners in allcross country comparisons.  The Survey further states that  despite difficult conditions in the global  economy,  exports continued to be robust in the current year and registered a growth rate  of 14.3% in real terms over and above the 22.7% growth achieved in the  previous year  (2010-2011), as per Advance Estimates. The Survey also  states  that, the  growth rate of private final consumption expenditure has  been  fairly consistent  even when the economy`s growth rate has fluctuated. The global economic environment, which has been tenuous at best throughout the year, turned sharply adverse in September, 2011 owing to turmoil in Eurozone  and questions about the outlook on the US Economy provoked by rating  agencies. However, for the Indian Economy, the outlook for growth and price stability looks more promising.
 
The Union Budget 2012-13 was presented by the Finance Minister in the  wake of a challenging business environment and weak global economic  conditions. With a sombre global outlook, sustained slowdown in Indian GDP growth, high inflation, elevated deficits and low investor confidence, the current  year has  been testing for the Indian economy. The good news is that, while  the GDP  achieved  of  6.9%  was low as compared to  that  of  previous  years, comparatively  it still put India in the top five economies of  the  world. Further  the Finance Minister clearly pointed out that India has been  able to limit the adverse impact of the global slowdown on its economy and is at the  cusp of a revival, as agriculture and services have continued to  grow at a decent pace. Further he also pointed out that there are various other indicators that suggest that the economy is now turning around, namely, the signs of recovery in coal, fertilizer, cement and electricity sectors.
 
The FMCG Sector and Indian consumers
 
The Indian FMCG sector is the fourth largest in the Indian economy and has a market size of $13.1 billion. The FMCG sector has attracted a large number  of  consumers in both the urban and rural sectors in India  in  the past few  decades  through better  penetration  and  low-priced  products. Various manufacturers of FMCG products are concentrating on increasing the sales volume due to the rising demand of the consumers.  Creativity and innovation are the major attributes required for success in this   sector.  Large-scale  FMCG companies including the Company P and G have won the  hearts of  the  consumers  by  delivering  high-end  and  innovative  products  at affordable  range.  A large number of FMCG companies derive  a  significant proportion   of  their  overall  sales  from  outside  the  top   few   100 towns/cities,  which  reflects the growing economic importance  of  India`s rural  consumer  base. Rural India accounts for close to one-third of the total consumption pie. Robust consumption in the rural economy is one  of the  key drivers of India`s sustained growth. FMCG companies are devising exclusive rural marketing strategies to tap the rural consumer base.
