THE MACRO-ECONOMIC SCENARIO

 

The fiscal year 2010-11 began on an encouraging note, as developed economies picked up and displayed signs of growth. The global economy begins to normalize post crisis as recovery efforts have resulted in turnaround in the face of adverse circumstances. According to Yale University Economists, Asia accounts for a greater share of global revenue and financial clout. Emerging economies have shown tremendous promise and have demonstrated steady performance at higher growth rates. While haziness around unemployment and political polarization have left many concerned about the outlook in developed economies in the West, emerging economies have responded well to government intervention and policy.

 

However, unseasonal weather patterns have led to global food shortages contributing to diminished supply and fast-rising food prices, which coupled with rising demand and speculation, have placed global food security in a precarious position. Already, they have seen the effects of high inflation and political unrest in Middle Eastern and North African countries such as Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya. In the United States and other Western developed economies, relatively high unemployment levels continue to remain as a critical issue. Financial Markets have continued to fluctuate around global crises and the outlook remains uncertain for the time being.

 

Regarding the Indian economic outlook, the World Bank’s Development Prospects Group stated that India’s growth will benefit from re-firming of external demand due to the slow resumption of growth in advanced economies, representing over two-thirds of India’s export markets. Although worries of high inflation persist, Government policy initiatives provide some degree of comfort for lower levels of inflation in the future. Furthermore, the overall business confidence of managers of domestic and international Companies has continued to increase as the ease of doing business in India increases.

 

Yet despite all the challenges to growth in the global economy, International Monetary Fund analysts expect global output to expand by 4.5% in 2011, reflecting stronger-than-expected economic activity on the back of better performance in the second half of 2010 and policy initiatives by the Government of the United States. Growth in emerging markets, says the IMF remains robust buoyed by strong private consumer demand, accommodative policy positions, and resurgent capital inflows. They expect India will grow at 8.2% in the coming fiscal year. The short-term outlook for Asia continues to look positive, with growth expected to settle at sustained levels and remain particularly strong in demand driven economies like India.

 

All in all, India has come out a leader in the recovery post the global economic crisis, positioning the country to enjoy the benefits of low-cost production and high profitability going forward.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

INDEX OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

 

India’s industrial sector contributes significantly to GDP and industrial trends have had an overarching effect on the progress of the domestic economy. According to the Economic Survey, the IIP grew by 9.5% as opposed to 7.4% in the previous corresponding year.

 

Manufacturing demonstrated robust performance throughout the year, growing upwards to 12.7% and 9.7% respectively during the first two quarters of the current fiscal year (Source: Economic Survey Chapter 1 p.11).

 

By early January, India’s core infrastructure industries regained robust growth at 7.1%, strengthening perceptions of overall outlook. Output for the six key industries – crude, oil, electricity, petroleum refining, steel, cement, and coal – grew in the period. The industries currently have a combined weight of close to 26.7% in the IIP. During the period from April 2010 to January 2011, the six core industries registered a growth of 5.6 % (provisional) against 5.5 % during the corresponding period of the previous year. Crude Oil and Finished Steel grew significantly at 11.9% and 5.7% respectively.

 

CEMENT AND STEEL

 

India continues to rank among the world’s top producers of Cement, ranking second only after China. Total Cement production for the first half of the fiscal year reach 81.54 MT as compared to 77.22 MT in the same period in the corresponding year, according to an IBEF Report. An additional capacity of 92.3 MT is expected to be added to the sector by 2013.

 

According to the “Indian Cement Industry Forecast to 2012” released by RNCOS, the cement industry is projected to increase at a CAGR of 10.5% from FY2011-2014 on the back of massive infrastructure projects and increased demand from manufacturers to increase production capacities.

 

India was ranked the fourth largest producer of crude steel in the world in 2010, and the country has been the world’s largest sponge iron producer since 2002, according to the Economic Survey. Production of domestic crude steel has grown by a CAGR of 8.4% from 2006-07 to 2009-10 largely on the back of expansion in capacity and higher utilization rates as India’s industrial sector develops. The Minister of State for Steel said in late February that with a targeted production of around 120 MT by 2012, India is set to become the second largest steel producing country.

 

The steel industry has continued to diversify its product mix and has delivered sophisticated value-added steel in several sectors, particularly for automobiles, heavy machinery, and physical infrastructure. The steel industry continues to suffer from supply side issues in metallurgical coal which have been exacerbated by the flooding in Queensland, Australia. Raw material security has thus become an important issue and has emerged as a significant bottleneck against capacity expansion.

 

INFRASTRUCTURE

 

With a vision towards creating sustainable and robust economic growth, the Government of India has focused on enhancing infrastructure around the country, particularly for transportation and urban development. As the country consolidates its position as one of the fastest growing economies across the globe, a high class infrastructure which facilitates greater efficiency for businesses is imperative.

 

With India aiming to allocate over USD 1 trillion into infrastructure, half of which will come from the private sector, the outlook for the sector looks bright and the potential looks strong.

 

GLOBAL SCENARIO

 

Currently, the total capacity of wind power globally comes to around 157,889 MW, of which Europe accounts for around 48%. Over the last decade, the utilization of wind power has more than quadrupled, with 81% of installations in the U.S. and in Europe. China is another established leader in wind power, with wind power accounting for over 41.8 GW of electricity generating capacity.

 

According to the Global Wind Energy Council, the market growth of wind energy is driven by several key factors, including the gap between supply and demand for energy, rising importance of environmental issues, and technological advances for capturing more wind movement. Global security of supply and economic /environmental considerations demand the Government’s immediate attention in wind energy. 

 

As modern wind turbines continue to improve in their power rating, reliability, and efficiency, the demand to utilize wind energy has significantly increased. The Global Wind Energy Council stated that over the past ten years, wind energy has grown at a cumulative average of 30% with over 120 GW of power generated solely from wind. This capacity of power will put a cap on carbon dioxide and decrease carbon emissions into the upper atmosphere.

 

INDIAN SCENARIO

 

Today, India is emerging as one of the world’s producers of wind turbines for Asia. By the end of 2010, India had installed wind generation capacity of 13,065 MW with a growth rate of 16% meeting 3% of the overall energy demand in the country, which had a robust year in terms of adding new capacity and wind energy installations, with 2,139 MW of added capacity. Currently, global institutes, various industry associations, and the World Institute for Sustainable Energy cite the wind energy potential in India at 65-100 GW.

 

Having utilized only 13,065 MW thus far, the prospect of developing facilities in wind energy is boundless.

 

The global wind energy industry was significantly affected by the adverse impacts of the global recession. The Indian annual wind power market, however, was reasonably well insulated.

 

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, in December 2009, offered new incentive schemes for businesses aiming to enter the renewable energy space. The Generation Based Incentive (GBI) offers an incentive tariff of Rs.0.50/kWh for eligible projects for a period of ten years, valid for wind farms established before March 2012. In addition, 18 of the 25 State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs) have currently issued feed in tariffs for wind power. According to the GWEC, 17 of these commissions have mandated state- wide Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPOs), which has won investor confidence. Other policy measures have included concessional import duties on specified wind turbine parts, excise duty reliefs, and income tax holidays applicable to wind energy projects.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Their vision is to continue to generate strong financial returns and create a world-class Engineering, Procurement and Construction Company. The Company has a focus on renewable energy and also strives to be a developer and manufacturer of technologically advanced WTGs. SEPC continues to enhance its service offerings through technology tie ups with leading global institutions such as Envirotherm of Germany, NWEPDI of China and Roberts and Schaefer of USA. They will continue to pursue opportunities by expanding and enhancing their presence throughout India and abroad. They will look to capitalize on their strengths, local experience and familiarity with local working conditions and ever strengthening relationships with their clients and strategic partners in order to establish and maintain a leading position in the industry. They further intend to target specific project segments and industries where they believe there is high potential for growth and can enjoy competitive advantages. Given the businesses they are in, the conducive operating environment, their competencies, skills and growth plans, they remain fairly confident of achieving sustained growth in the future.
