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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

Market Overview

 

India is ranked as the fifth largest power producing and fifth largest power consuming country in the world (Source: IEA - Key World Energy Statistics, 2010).

 

Power generation capacity in India has increased substantially over recent years and as of October 31, 2011 India had a total installed capacity of 182,689.6 MW. The proposed capacity addition for power generation during the XI Five-year Plan (2007-12) is 78,700.4 MW and tentative capacity addition of approximately 100,000 MW has been envisaged under the XII Five-year Plan (2012-17) (Source: CEA Monthly Review, October 2011). However, supply has not kept pace with the rapid growth of the Indian economy, despite relatively low per capita electricity consumption in comparison to other major economies.

 

Overview of the Indian Transmission and Distribution Sector

 

A reliable transmission and distribution ("T and D") system is important for efficient transfer of power from generating stations to load centers and beyond. A typical T and D system comprises transmission lines, sub-stations, switching stations, transformers and distribution lines.

 

The power sector continues to be affected by high aggregate technical and commercial losses estimated to be approximately 35.0%. High technical losses in the system are primarily due to inadequate investments over the years for system improvement works, which has resulted in unplanned extensions of the distribution lines, overloading of the system elements like transformers and conductors, and lack of adequate reactive power support.

 

Distribution is the last link in the power supply chain and serves as the interface between the consumer and the utility. In India, only state utilities (SEBs) undertake distribution, except in Delhi and Orissa and Ahmedabad, where it has been privatized

 

The government has envisaged various distribution reforms aimed at improving the performance of SEBs and reducing power losses. The reforms, which include corporatisation of SEBs and privatization of distribution, are underpinned by schemes like APDRP (Accelerated Power and Distribution Reform Programme) and RGGVY (Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Vidyutikaran Yojna).

 

Overview of T and D Equipment Sector

 

Fuelled by the momentum of growth in the power sector, the size of the Indian T and D equipments market, in value terms, has more than quadrupled in the last ten years. Demand for the T and D equipments has been rising with new Greenfield capacities being added as well as the replacement requirements for revamping and modernization of existing equipments.

 

Other reasons for this growth include growth in other sectors (like telecom) and expansion of exports markets. Exports of electrical equipments have grown at a CAGR of above 18% since 2001 and it has tripled in the last six years. Typical distribution equipments are disc type insulators, distribution transformers, current transformers and switchgear and control gear.

 

Government-backed reform schemes in the last decade have enabled rapid growth of the power sector and the equipment industry has grown hand in hand.

 

Distribution Transformers: Market Overview

 

T and D utilities are the major end-users of distribution transformers in India. India is one of the major exporters of distribution transformers to many countries around the globe. India is largely dependent on the international markets for supply of various raw material inputs such as cold-rolled grain-oriented (CRGO) steel, transformer oil, and others.

 

With over 150 transformer manufacturers and suppliers, the Indian distribution transformers market is predominantly unorganized with few participants catering to the higher range distribution transformer market. The organized players include ABB, Areva T and D, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, Voltamp Transformers Limited, Crompton Greaves Limited, Vijai Electricals, Kotsons Private Limited, Kirloskar Electric Company, EMCO Limited, Victory Transformers and Switchgears Limited, and Transformers and Rectifiers India Limited.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The energy infrastructure market is on an upward trajectory. Power and Infrastructure sector continue to be a priority sector for the government. In view of Government of India's announcement of increasing investments in the Infrastructure and the Industry segments, it is expected that the energy infrastructure market in India will double in the next five years. With the synergies accruing from its integration with Schneider Electric India, the company is in a perfect position to cater to Infrastructure market solutions leveraging on expertise in the field of Power, Infrastructure, Buildings, Industry and IT businesses.

 

However there are many challenges which may impact the growth of the company in the short run. To control the high inflation, RBI the central bank of India had followed a monetary policy of liquidity tightening and raising interest rates. Aggressive competition might put strong price pressure and affect profitability. Schneider Electric

Infrastructure's management team will remain completely focused to meet these challenges and continue to deliver the best value for its shareholders.

PRESS RELEASE

 

SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC SA PROPOSES AN EVOLUTION OF ITS GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE

 

Rueil-Malmaison (France), December 18, 2012 – Henri Lachmann continues to implement his succession plan. Therefore, the Supervisory Board of Schneider Electric SA and its Chairman have decided to propose a modification of the Group’s governance structure at the next Annual Shareholder’s meeting, to be held on April 25, 2013. The Group will adopt a single board structure with a Board of Directors (Conseil d’Administration), provided it is approved by shareholders. 

 

The Board is attached to the continued success of the Group and its good governance. It endeavors to respect two key principles: to maintain a strong and stable leadership and to guarantee the independent control in the management of the company.

 

It intends to name Jean-Pascal Tricoire as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (President Director General) in light of his achievements and performance since he took the lead of the Group in 2006. Emmanuel Babeau, currently member of the Management Board, will become Deputy Chief Executive Officer (Director General Delegue) in charge of Finance and Legal Affairs of the Group.

 

The Board also considers that it is necessary to reinforce its role and involvement in the oversight of the Group. Under this new governance structure, the Board of Directors will put in place four committees: Governance, Audit, Human Resources and Social Responsibility and Strategy. In addition, the board will nominate a Lead Director who will guarantee its independence and oversee the quality and timeliness of information sent and the proper functioning of the Board. Henri Lachmann will assume this role up to the end of his term as director in 2014. His mission will be to ensure a smooth transition in the governance structure and to name the Lead Director to succeed him in this role.

 

In line with this modification, all the existing members of the Supervisory Board (for the remaining duration of their terms) and Jean-Pascal Tricoire will be nominated as directors of the new Board. The employee shareholders will need to propose one or more candidates to represent them as director in the Board.

·         Highly experienced team specialized in services like energy procurement and risk management, regulatory analysis and compliance, performance optimization and sustainability auditing.

Chris Curtis, Schneider Electric’s Executive Vice President, Buildings Business, commented: “M and C is a bolt-on acquisition that will strongly complement Summit’s offerings, significantly enhance the Group’s position in energy management services, and accelerate our growth in countries where our presence is limited. In addition, this acquisition is totally in line with the Group’s strategy to boost services growth. The combination will allow us to connect their supply side expertise with our lead in demand side solutions and generate significant synergies.”

 

Mark Dickinson, CEO, M and C Energy Group commented: “Bringing M&C Energy Group and Schneider Electric together creates a global force in the energy advisory sector, providing long-term benefits to both staff and clients flowing from the combined knowledge, expertise, geographic footprint and range of products and service available.”
