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 REVIEW

 

In this highly competitive environment, textile business is becoming more innovative in approach. Expertise to asses and consolidate the opportunities are essential pre-requisite and every company need to utilize the expertise that are available throughout the globe. Out of the total global textile and clothing trade estimated at US$ 633 Billion today, about 58% constitutes apparel, 18% is home textiles and the balance 24% comprises other textile products like yarns, greige fabrics, industrial fabrics, medical and other textiles. With a share of over 35% in textile trade, home textile are amongst the best performing sectors of the Indian textile industry. The depreciation of the Indian rupee against the US Dollar and Euro since August’ 2011 is seen to be improving India’s competitive position in the export market, as currencies of competing countries like Bangladeshi Taka, Chinese Yuan, Vietnamese Dong and Euro depreciated by lower rate or appreciated during the same period. Therefore, should the trend remain, the effect will be positive on the rupee revenue of exporters. However, the benefit would be offset for companies with a higher percentage imports in the production for exports. During the second quarter of

previous year the international market seen a steep rise in the cotton prices resulting into the maximum export of cotton from country and reflecting the same price trend in the domestic market. To protect the domestic industry in March 2012, India had banned the cotton exports and cotton yarn in January 2011 which resulted into the accumulation of high inventory. During March' 11 and May 2012 the quota of export of cotton yarn and cotton opened respectively which resulted into high supply into international market and consequently crashing of the prices and the situation continue till October 2011. Over the past three year, there has been a marked change in the business strategy of spinning companies as high operational costs pulled down their earnings. Quite a few spinning companies are moving up the value chain in the textiles industry as part of efforts to emerge as vertically integrated textile players. In the past five years, the average net profit margin of spinning companies showed a meagre growth of 140 basis points while that of vertically integrated textile companies almost doubled in the same period.

 

Recently, the company has started manufacturing value added finished products to supply to different customers in US, UK and other parts of the world. This product category is design based and needs high skilled workmanship. As the company is having in-house spinning, weaving and processing facilities, it gives an edge over others for a better price in today’s competitive global condition.

 

The company has also started association with renowned UK retailers to expand the customer base and business volumes. The business relationship by way of developing the retail chain in USA Market is also under process, which will help them to enjoy better business opportunities in global market.

 

Fashion Accessories Division is undergoing a transition and focus is on the product lines being offered to the market. The global recession last year , had put the premium products out of reach for most consumers across the world, where the volumes for the Cashmere, High value products had dipped globally. The market hit by recession and cut in spending power by the consumer, demanded alternate products which could give the same aesthetic appeal, but the costs would remain marginal. This year they see a trend reversal, where there is an upsurge of demand in mid to high value products, where in the average value of the product has risen from last year and volumes are lower, which is being compensated by higher value. The endeavor has been on increasing the bottom line, cut down on turn-around time and deliverables. They have undertaken various steps to streamline their production processes, which have brought down process rejections and increased productivity which reflect in their bottom line.

 

Currently,they are in a process of consolidation of their existing markets and customers, to increase the value from each customer and a higher share of the market in the first half. In this financial year, they are venturing into new markets where, they are receiving a good response. In the domestic market, which has a huge potential, they have started institutional marketing of Cashmere products as an ideal corporate gift article capitalizing on the perceived value and pride associated by consumers on being the proud owner of a Cashmere product.

 

They envisage a good growth rate in the current financial year, through their continuous process of product re-engineering and value additions to have a cutting edge in the market.

 

Due to various unavoidable reasons and natural calamity, the production of yarn had to be curtailed down in some of the units of the company, just to meet out the market demands. In the yarn segment the company is also expanding and exploring the market to some new countries like Columbia, Peru etc being the focussed markets including some south Indian market. Further some new shades in dyed yarn like Indigo Blue and Grindle Yarns has been added to take more share in the market.

 

During the year, the company has introduced new variants under the different products like Vertical, Venetian, Roller, Cellular, Roman and Roll Up Blinds, Drapery Rods, Curtain Tracks, Awnings, Umbrellas, Laminated Wooden Flooring and Solid hardwood floorings.

40 Annual 2011-2012

The company has ended the twelve months accounting period ended on March 31, 2012 with a loss of  Rs.2775.040 Millions in comparison with loss of Rs. 965.080 millions in the previous year. The current year has passed through a very hard faze and witnessed an estimated loss of Rs. 11000.000 crore to the Indian spinning industries due to intervention of government on export of cotton and yarn marketing policies resulted into a sudden fall in the domestic/international prices of cotton and yarn. However the market is settling down slowly and at present the company is able to earn a positive EBIDTA however the company is still struggling to cover up its Interest and Depreciation cost and is hopeful to perform batter in the coming year. The company is also able to gradually enhance the utilization capacity of its Meerut, Kashipur and Jaspur Units and is expecting has recorded a steep high, by more than 70% in comparison with previous year.Nowthe directors are hopeful that this trend will continue in current financial year also.

 

FOCUSONTECHNOLOGICAL GROWTH/EXPANSION

 

In one of the major units located at Haridwar, the focus has been diverted to stable&less volatile products which will improve the margins and less exposure to speculations. They have identified the markets and products which not only give them edge in the market but also help them to increase the capacity utilization into value added yarns like dyed yarns, twisted yarns, PVA yarns, slub yarns LE twist, organic yarn, core spun yarn etc. They are further planning to increase production during the current financial year, which will increase the margins to some extent. In one of the lease hold unit located at Kashipur, due to increase in the cotton prices and damage stock of cotton by flood water, the production had curtailed down. But the market improved in the month of January’ 2012 and various variants of counts like 2/60s poly, 2/40s poly TFO, 2/30s RT poly, 2/36s RT (optical white poly) etc. were introduced which may improve the performance of the unit in the current financial year. The unit is continuously enhancing the production capacity and may achieve the same level of production, as was earlier during the current financial year

 

WEAVINGANDPROCESSING PLANTAT MEERUT

 

The unit was started in the year 2009 with state-of-art plant having latest machineries from the world’s best makers, which produce high quality products. Although the unit had commenced the operations during the recession time and they are a bit slow in gaining momentum, but now it is coming back on the track. The unit produces Cotton, Polyester, Cationic Blends, Linen Blends fabrics etc.. There are serious efforts to add new buyers and countries in company’s clientele. Presently, the unit is catering to almost all the potential countries like USA, UK, Australia, Russia, France, Singapore, Middle East etc. Further, the unit specializes in Technical and Coated fabric, in which the unit has dedicated production Lines. To control the quality checks on international parameter, they have installed Martindale Abrasion Tester in the fabric testing facility, which is very important parameter for upholstery fabric. During the last financial year, the company has introduced new range of technical textiles products under the brand name of “Sleep Dry” for baby care having the features like, ultimate protection from bacteria, breathable, water proof soft toys range and absorbent, provides extreme comfort to the babies' sensitive skin, superior barrier against bed wetting, treated with silver based solution, easily washable and durable, antimicrobial and prevention against dust mite, which otherwise might cause allergic reactions like asthma, eczemaetc etc.

 

FINANCIAL STRATEGY

 

The company was sanctioned a restructuring scheme underCDRmechanism byCDREmpowered Group on August 31, 2009 and as amended from time to time. The package comprised of conversion of unsustainable debt into OCCPS/CRPS, funding of Interest and reduction of interest to 9% among other relief. However, the Company could not achieve the projected Operating Profit level in subsequent year i.e.2010-11, mainly due to higher cost of raw materials and delay in implementation of Meerut Plant. These adverse situations demanded the reworking of existing sanctioned CDR package. The CDR EG reworked its existing package accordingly by issuing of LOA dated 04.05.2011 and allowed some additional reliefs to the Company like Conversion of additional unsustainable portion of Term Loan into Equity, reduced and step-up Rate of Interest and Realignment of the balance Term Loan installments. However due to unprecedented situation of cotton and cotton yarn market, company could not achieved the estimated profit and incurred a negative EBIDTA resulted into the depletion of working capital. However, the company honored its due liabilities towards secured lenders up to June’ 2011.With a view to tide over the above difficulty arising out of the industry situation, the company had approached SBI and other lenders to commensurate the debt obligations of the company in line with the expected operating profits of the company based on the recommendations on restructuring of Textile loans forwarded by Government of India to the RBI for their consideration.

 

JOINT VENTURES

 

The company had investment in Cody Direct Corp (erstwhile Columbine Cody Corp.) of 2,450 Common Stock constituting 50% holding of the above company, which has been diluted, consequent to allotment of further stock by the company to another investors.

 

TEXTILES INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Spinning Companies have diversified into the business of manufacturing fabrics in recent years from the earlier capitalintensive spinning business. There are two factors which have contributed to this shift in the business of spinning companies to fabric business viz high cost of power and interest rates.

 

Cotton

 

The global cotton price which is largely a function of global demand and supply of cotton has been influenced by factors other than actual user demand and overall supply of cotton in 2011-12. The Chinese policy of accumulating cotton for strategic reserves and occasional policy decisions of Indian Government in relation to export of cotton has caused much volatility in cotton prices. The Cotlook Index -A for the year 2011-12 was 102 US cents /lbs in comparison to 164 US cents/lbs in 2010-11. The global cotton production is estimated at 27.160 million tons in 2011-12, which is expected to decline to 24.900 million tons in 2012-13 due to lower area under cotton cultivation in sync with moderation in global cotton prices to an extent. The global mill consumption of cotton is estimated at 22.700 million tons in 2011-12 and is projected to grow moderately in 2012-13.

 

Yarn

 

Financial year 2011-12 was a year rampant with nervousness and unpredictability, which was not a conducive

environment for business. The ban on the exports of cotton yarn in January, 2011 seriously impacted the industry and there was accumulation of inventory till end of March, 2011. The Government announced its new policy on export of Cotton Yarn in first week of April, 2011 and yarn export was brought under Open General Licence. As a result, the yarn prices moved in a wide range for the first half of the year. Most of the textile mills, particularly which are predominantly spinning, suffered losses including losses incurred by the writing down of the stock of cotton and yarn held by the end of June, 2011. However, it was only in the second half that things showed some signs of stabilization. All India yarn production was lower by an estimated15%due to:

 

(i) Power crisis in the South

(ii) Huge inventory losses as referred above resulting in severe shortage of working capital availability to some

companies

(iii) Acute labour shortage across India

(iv) Sharp fall in yarn prices as compared to last year propelling voluntary cut in production.

 

However, this year production is expected to increase even though margins are expected to be on the lower side only. There is also a noticeable trend of increasing value addition in products. The removal of trade barriers with Bangladesh is yet to show any impact on the Indian Industry.

 

Overall the year is expected to be more stable due to expectation that cotton will be much less volatile than last year. Growth of the industry will hinge on recovery in the global economy although Indian demand is expected to increase at a relatively moderate rate. In this highly competitive environment, textile business is becoming more innovative in approach. Expertise to asses and consolidate the opportunities are essential pre-requisite and every company need to utilize the expertise that are available throughout the globe. Over the past three year, there has been a marked change in the business strategy of spinning companies as high operational costs pulled down their earnings. Quite a few spinning companies are moving up the value chain in the textiles industry as part of efforts to emerge as vertically integrated textile players. In the past five years, the average net profit margin of spinning companies shoed a meagre growth of 140 basis points while that of vertically integrated textile companies almost doubled in the same period.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Two years ago, government promised a cotton trade policy with all the trimmings of goods governance. After a similar export debacle in 2010, government vowed that the new policy would include transparent contract registration, a tariff driven export regulation policy, and a reserve stock policy designed to ensure the textile industry’s viability dur cyclical downturns. But policy goals need the right administrative mechanisms to succeed. The international textile fairs like Tex Trends 2012 puts a window of opportunities for the industry where products from handlooms to technical textiles are under one roof. It caters to product categories in casual wear, city wear, high fashion and occasional wear, specialty garments, sportswear, knitwear and made-ups bed linen, napkins, cushion covers, floor mats, curtains etc.. India, in recent years, has been the focal point of continuous growth, development and the first largest producer of raw jute, second largest producer of silk, cotton yarn, raw cotton and fifth largest producer of synthetic fiber yarn. South Korea has got tremendous presence in apparels thereby providing good scope for the export of fabrics including other products. The provisional data for the fiscal year 2011-12 shows that exports of Cotton Textiles from India reached US $ 7200 Mn with Cotton Made ups reaching US $ 3010 Mn, Cotton Yarn valued at US $ 2650Mnand Cotton Fabrics at US $ 1510 Mn. The targetofUS$7BnF.Y. 2011-12 has thus not only been achieved but also surpassed.
