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

 

A combination of high inflation, tight monetary policy, weak global economic conditions and slow implementation of fiscal policies and reforms weakened India’s industrial and economic growth momentum in the fiscal year 2011-2012. After clocking a robust 8.4% growth in the previous two years, India’s economic growth slackened and is estimated to grow by 6.9% in 2011-2012. The performance of the industrial sector deteriorated, but on the positive side, the agriculture and services sector recorded steady growth. The service sector continued to be a major contributor to the GDP with an estimated growth rate of 9.4%. Similarly, agriculture sector is expected to achieve a growth rate of 2.5% in 2011-2012. However, the industrial growth moderated as the manufacturing sector grew by 4.4% in the first 10 months of the year as against 8.9% growth in the previous year.

 

The products manufactured by the Company serve the agriculture as well as several other sectors including paper, pharmaceuticals, consumer durables, electronics, automobiles, construction, leather and textiles. The demand for passenger vehicles in the Indian market grew modestly by 4.7% while consumer durables were expected to grow at about 4%. The growth of the construction industry was also lower compared to the previous year. However, the continued rise in consumer demand boosted the demand for FMCG products, personal care products, paper products, paints and packaging. The pharmaceutical industry continued to demonstrate growth of about 15% spurred by robust demand in both domestic and international markets. The global economic scenario adversely impacted the exports dependent Indian textile industry.

 

The weakness in economic activity and industrial sector is expected to witness gradual recovery. The Reserve Bank of India has also reduced its key lending rate to support growth, marking the reversal of its monetary policy stance that had focused on controlling inflation in the past three years.

 

AGRICULTURAL SOLUTIONS

 

The Agricultural Solutions business includes agrochemicals like insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and specialties. During the year, the Agricultural Solutions business has shown good growth in sales and profits.

 

India’s food grain production for 2011-2012 is likely to cross 250 million tonnes against a target of 245 million tonnes. The production of rice and wheat is expected to be higher as compared to the previous year. Cotton exports have grown significantly during the year as compared to the previous year. However, the output price of cotton has dropped, on account of slowdown in the global economy. Pro-farmers policies announced by the Indian Government will boost the rural economy and enhance agricultural productivity.

 

The Agricultural Solutions business of your Company continued its journey of profitable growth driven by the consistent introduction of new products and adoption of innovative marketing initiatives while building on various strategic measures initiated in the earlier years. The Samruddhi (prosperity) program, where your Company operates as a total solution provider to the farmers, contributed to this growth. During the year, the Samruddhi program was extended to other crops such as onions and potatoes. New Chemistries launched in 2011, owing to farmers’ choice of specialty chemicals, in both Herbicides and Fungicides, in which the Company has an edge, has registered good growth.

 

The Company continues to launch new products to meet the changing and growing needs of the farmers. The Company successfully launched its new brand “ODYSSEY” in the Herbicide segment, which will provide the much needed boost to the soyabean growers by further enhancing their farm productivity.

 

PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS

This business caters to the requirements of a wide spectrum of industries, including textiles, leather, plastics and coatings, detergent formulators, pharmaceuticals, automobile and oil.

The Leather Chemicals business witnessed a slow recovery as a consequence of the global financial slowdown. However, the demand recovered in the first quarter of 2012. During the year, the sales of most of the product groups of the leather chemicals business of your Company were lower as compared to the previous year. However, significant growth was registered in sales of base coat, dyestuffs and spray dyes. The Leather Chemicals business has recorded higher profits due to the several operational excellence initiatives implemented by the business.

 

Stringent pollution norms, high input costs, non-availability of raw hides and skins, power shortages in certain leather production areas and lack of manpower in tanneries are major concerns for this business. Medium and small leather chemical manufacturers are taking advantage of the above challenging conditions prevailing in the leather industry and offering cheaper alternative products as against the quality products offered by your Company.

 

Despite the unfavourable market conditions, with the signs of gradual global recovery, outlook for the leather chemicals business looks optimistic.

 

The Indian textile industry is one of the major contributors to the Indian industry contributing 4% to GDP and 17% to the manufacturing sector. The Indian textiles chemical market comprises diverse players in terms of size, from single product suppliers to suppliers offering chemicals for the entire value chain, along with additional technical services such as process optimisation, specialised fabric testing and certification. During the year, the Company’s Textile Chemicals business witnessed lower growth as compared to previous year due to lower production on account of shutdown of certain textile chemicals manufacturing sites in India owing to stringent pollution norms.

 

Demand for home textiles and denims continued to grow during the year. Lack of innovation in textiles, shift of textile industry to low cost garments from other countries, stringent pollution control norms are the major concerns for this business.

 

The outlook for the Textile Chemicals business looks challenging due to rising raw material cost and stiff competition from the domestic market.

 

The Care Chemicals business of the Company mainly caters to personal care, home care and formulation technology sectors. During the year, significant growth was recorded in the Care Chemicals business as compared to the previous year due to addition of Cognis products into this business, which were complementary to your Company’s existing products. Requirement of better performing and higher efficiency products in the home care industry will drive the demand for your Company’s polymers, fluorescent whitening agents and surfactants. With the rising disposable income and increasing awareness, the growth in the personal care industry presents a good opportunity for personal care ingredients supplied by the Company.

 

The Plastics Additives business is categorised into anti-oxidants, light stabilizers and pigments for the plastic industry. The slowdown in the exports to European markets had a negative impact on the demand for plastics additives resulting in lower sales as compared to the previous year.

The Dispersions and Pigments business registered modest growth in sales during the year. The acquisition of Cognis business was one of the growth drivers of this business. Growth in key customers industries like paints and coatings, adhesives and construction material would boost higher demand for Dispersions and Pigments business.

 

The Paper Chemicals business of the Company has a comprehensive product portfolio and technical expertise. With low per capita paper consumption in India as against global average consumption, there is a good opportunity for Paper Chemicals business in India. The Paper Chemicals business continued to make steady progress by providing better services to customers and optimizing the production footprint to improve competitiveness in the industry.

 

During the year, BASF has relocated its paper dye production from Grenzach in Germany to the Company’s plant at Ankleshwar. This will be a high quality direct dyes supply hub for the global paper industry and will enable the Company to serve its customers better. In addition, the Company also established a new paper application centre at Chandivali, which is equipped with specialised equipment’s for application and product testing. Given the positive outlook for manufacturing in the country, the Paper Chemicals business is expected to grow in the coming years.

The Performance Polymers (engineering plastics) business of the Company caters to the requirement of automotive and electrical industries. During the year, the engineering plastics business of the Company showed increase in sales as compared to the previous year. With wider market coverage, focus on new market development, higher capacity utilisation and expected export opportunities, the engineering plastics business is poised for higher growth in the coming years.

 

The Polyurethanes business is largely dependent on the demand for consumer products such as cars, white goods, furniture and footwear. High inflation, increased interest costs and poor consumer confidence dampened, demand across all segments, which in turn affected the polyurethanes business in India. Although Polyurethanes business recorded healthy growth in volume and turnover, high input costs and exchange rate fluctuation impacted the margins, during the year.

 

The growth opportunities for the Polyurethanes business in India looks positive as the current penetration levels are low and there is untapped potential for this business.

BASF named world’s most transparent chemical company

 

- Transparency International publishes report on world’s 105 largest companies

- Rating based on openness, transparency, and steps to fight corruption

 

Mumbai, India – July 16, 2012 – BASF globally has been named the world’s most transparent chemical company, in a new global ranking by non-governmental organization Transparency International. BASF was also the top rated German-headquartered company of any industry.

 

Transparency in Corporate Reporting scored 105 of the top publicly-traded companies based on their public commitment to transparency. Company scores were based on public availability of information about anti-corruption systems, transparency in reporting on how they structure themselves, and the amount of financial information they provide for each country they operate in.

 

“This type of reporting responds to the pressing need for improvements in corporate transparency and helps restore public trust. Companies in Asia, including India are therefore increasingly embracing this trend even though there are no legal requirements”, said Mr. Prasad Chandran, Chairman, BASF Companies in India & Head South Asia. BASF India has been publishing an integrated report since 2009. The BASF in India Report 2011 documents the development, progress and performance of the company’s activities in India across the three spheres of local influence - economy, ecology and society. “Our triple bottom line reporting sets benchmarks in governance and promotes transparent communication and open dialogue with the communities in which we operate”, added Chandran.

 

Several of BASF’s social projects aim to improve governance standards and fight corruption in India. Through the “Million Minds” project, BASF in India focuses on sensitizing the citizens of India to the evils of corruption and encourages them to take a firm stand against it. BASF’s ‘Good Governance Icon Series’ is a unique initiative within the “Million Minds” project that highlights the achievements of men and women of high integrity who have upheld the highest levels of good governance while succeeding in their fields. BASF in India also runs a ‘Seminar Series on Corporate Governance and Business Ethics” at educational institutes. The idea is to instill good practices among future corporate citizens – i.e., students who are on the threshold of entering corporate India – and offer training on the practical aspects of governance and ethical issues.
