MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDIAN ECONOMY

 

India’s GDP grew at a healthy 8.6% in 2010-11 as compared to 8.0% in 2009-10 surpassing estimates of an 8.5% growth at the start of fiscal 2010-11. This growth was largely due to the significant growth in the agriculture sector at 5.4% (0.4% in 2009-10); the services and industrial sectors maintained their previous year growth momentum. The accelerated growth in the industrial sector in the first half of 2010-11 was hit by instability in the capital goods segment in the second half of 2010-11.

 

The confidence in the Indian growth story was witnessed in the record FII inflows in the economy and the revival in domestic investor confidence which helped the Indian stock markets to regain the pre-crisis record levels. Net capital inflows increased USD 13.7 bn to reach USD 36.7 bn; foreign exchange reserves grew USD 20 bn to cross the USD 300 bn threshold – at about USD 305.49 bn.

 

Even as the macroeconomic numbers displayed a strong performance, they were marked by significant volatility evident not only in the numbers but also in the sentiments primarily driven by the global clues and policy responses to cater to inflation.

 

The inflation witnessed a relentless rise during the first half of 2010 and remained in double digits for almost five months of 2010. The uneven monsoon during 2009, domestic supply side constraints coupled with the rising international prices of food grains had pushed the prices of primary food articles, which eventually drove inflation in the manufacturing goods as well as service sectors.

 

 

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

THE PRODUCT

 

PET is a versatile plastic used to produce a wide spectrum of packaging material for beverages, food, personal and home care, pharmaceuticals, as well as other consumer and industrial products. PET is a strong, lightweight, non-reactive and inert material. Accordingly PET film is ideal product to protect food, beverages and pharmaceuticals against oxidation and aroma loss so as to achieve long shelf life. Health-safety agencies around

the world have approved PET as safe for use with foods and beverages. The PET Film industry comprises of both thin films (50 micron and under) and thick films (above 50 microns)

 

GLOBAL MARKETS

 

Overview: Global BOPET Film industry is estimated to grow at CAGR of about 8 - 9% over next five years which is higher than the CAGR of about 7% p.a. during 2004-2009. Currently, Asian countries account for the largest market share for BOPET films with 65 -70% of BOPET Films produced and consumed within this region.

 

Growth and drivers: BOPET film sector is expected to grow at about 8-9% per annum in the next five years primarily on account of

 

·         Growth in new applications such as LCD’s, touch screen panels, smart phones, solar panel back sheets and photovoltaic cells

 

·         Changes in demography and lifestyle in fast developing and emerging economies

 

Ester is exploring options to enter into this ‘High Growth High Margin’ segment of BOPET Films.

 

 

INDIAN MARKETS

 

Overview: India has an installed capacity of about 400,000 MTPA of Thin BOPET films and accounts for about 17% of the global installed capacity. Over 65-70% of the India’s production is consumed domestically while exports account for the balance. Continuous capacity addition over the years strengthened India’s position in the global markets. Domestic demand for Thin BOPET film is growing at a CAGR of about 15%. Ester is engaged in the manufacture of Thin BOPET Films.

 

Growth and drivers: The growth in India is driven by demographic and lifestyle changes (rising middle class population), increasing investments in supermarkets, hypermarkets and organised retail sector. This is resulting in

greater demand for sophisticated and attractive high quality printed packaging. Government Regulation to improve quality and safety of the packaged food products continues to enhance demand for Thin BOPET Films.

 

India’s per capita packaging consumption at 0.24 Kgs as compared to 0.80 kgs in the developed economies (worldwide average of about 0.40 kgs) offers tremendous growth opportunities. According to an industry body and Ernst and Young study on the Indian food industry ‘Flavours of Incredible India – Opportunities in the Food Industry’, (October 2009), investment  opportunities in the Indian food industry are set to grow by 42.5% by 2020. This is expected to accelerate the demand for BOPET films.

Sold under brand name ‘UmaPET’, Ester offers a diversified portfolio of Value Added plain and metalised BOPET Films. The Company enjoys long healthy business relations with marquee clients across India. Its global footprint extends over 75 countries including the US, Europe and Latin America.

 

OUTLOOK FOR FUTURE

 

While performance in 2010-11 has been strong due to operational and structural reasons, they expect margins to come under pressure going forward. The recent ban on the use of plastic films for domestic pan masala / tobacco product (“pan masala / gutka”) packaging is likely to impact their business since 25-30% of polyester films domestic demand emanated from this sector in India. The matter is sub-judice in the Supreme Court of India and a decision is expected by the second quarter 2011-12.

 

 

ENGINEERING PLASTICS BUSINESS

 

THE PRODUCT

 

Engineering Plastic is a group of Polymers comprising PBT, Nylon– 6, Nylon – 66, ABS and PC compounded in about 200 different grades under the brand name ‘Estoplast’. These find applications in automobiles, white goods, electrical and electronics industry.

However, with plastics increasingly replacing traditional materials such as metal and glass in many applications, the Indian plastic-compound business is expected to see significant growth in the years ahead.

 

Automobile segment: The Indian automobile industry is geared to double the passenger car manufacturing capacity by 2015. According to a study by global consultancy firm Ernst and Young, the Indian market will clock the fastest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2009 and 2020, more than double of China. Besides, the auto-components industry, at USD 26 billion will jump to USD 103-113 billion in the next ten years, as per the report.

 

Electrical segment: Indian electrical segment is estimated to grow at 18% annually. Growth in the sector is coming from shift to energy efficient lighting products such as CFLs, FTLs and LEDs duly supplemented by robust growth in construction. Demand for Electrical Appliances / White Goods is expected to grow at about 15% due to change in lifestyle and the growing disposable income.
