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.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Facor Alloys Limited ("The Company") is a Public Limited Company incorporated in India under the Companies Act, 1956. It is part of worldwide reputed FACOR Group of Industries. The Company is listed at Bombay Stock Exchange. The Company, one of the India's largest producers of Ferro Alloys Products produces Ferro Alloys product at its works in Andhra Pradesh and caters both domestic and international markets. The product is used in the manufacture of Steel/Stainless Steel.

 

 

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

 

Ferro Alloys is one of the intermediate products used as additives and de-oxidising/de-sulfurizing agents in steel making. The growth of the Ferro Alloy industry is directly linked to the growth of the steel industry. During the first half of year overall the global steel industry witnessed steady growth. Despite financial turbulence in the Euro zone, weak private demand in the United States and events in Japan and the Middle East, the growth in global steel demand was driven by increased demand from key steel end-user industries specially from automotive sector. This resulted in increase in demand for Ferro Chrome.

 

However the second half of 2011-12 witnessed weakness in international demand due to a slowdown in China combined with the effects of the European debt crisis. In fact, the second half saw prices go down to the low 90's (cents per pound of chrome content).

 

The prolonged economic slowdown in the developed world, particularly in the European Union and the UK has resulted in a significant decline in steel consumption in several geographies in the western hemisphere. Steel plants are being closed or mothballed to conserve costs and to control over-supply. In the first few months of 2012-13 also, apparent Ferro Chrome demand from steel plants remained subdued due to the uncertain economic climate. On account of this, the demand and prices of chrome products in the domestic market too were adversely affected.

 

On account of above and other factors, during the year under consideration the production and sale of ferro chrome were lower as compared to the previous year 2010-2011. Owing to unfavourable market conditions, the overall turnover of the Company declined from Rs.3885.900 Millions in 2010-2011 to Rs.3674.400 Millions in 2011-2012. Exports were Rs.2871.300 Millions as against Rs.3099.000 Millions in the previous year. The Company derived 78% of its total sales from exports and during the year under review foreign currency earnings in rupee terms was Rs 2621.700 Millions. The profit before tax too was lower at Rs. 101.600 Millions as compared to Rs. 498.000 Millions in the previous year recording a steep fall of 80%.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE, DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS

 

Ferro Chrome is a value added intermediate product which imparts the noncorrosive property to stainless steel, hence growth of Ferro Alloys industry is primarily driven by the growth and progress of Steel Industry. Growth in the Indian economy is expected to remain strong. The automotive segment, is expected to grow by 11-13% in Financial Year 2012-13. As per world steel forecasts, steel demand in India should grow by 6.9% in 2012 and the growth should accelerate to 9.4% in 2013. Further the low per capita consumption of stainless steel in India which was 2.1 kg as compared to 7.5 kg in China and a world average of 4 kg, all in the 2011-12 fiscal year, constitutes a huge opportunity for growth in this sector. Indian stainless steel consumption will grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 9.7 percent reaching 3.4 million tons per annum (mtpa) by 2015, outstripping global consumption growth of 6 percent to 34.12 million tons which is a welcome sign for the Ferro Alloys Industry as consumption of Ferro Alloys will also increase. India’s total annual production of ferro chrome is around 1.2 million tons (mt), of which around 0.7 mt is exported. As against monthly export of around 60,000 tons on an average current export is only around 40,000 to 45,000 tons per month as the long term contract materials are still going, while spot deals are not there. Further, out of the total export of around 0.7 mt of ferro chrome annually, the maximum quantity goes to China. On an average around 70 percent of the total export goes to Far East Asian countries and the balance 30 percent to Europe, US and other places. However, the prices of ferro alloys have improved by about 10 to 30 percent in second half of the year 2012-13 on slight improvement in demand from steel makers in Europe and the US even as demand from China continued to remain weak. Presently, the supply of ferro chrome is higher than domestic demand and unless 40-50 percent of ferro chrome that is produced in India is exported, the price will continue to remain under pressure.

 

The global economy is also on a recovery path due to concerted policy actions around the world. Chinese GDP growth and targets remains strong. Chinese steel demand growth is expected to be moderate as the government pursues economic restructuring. As such, steel demand in China is projected to grow by 4% every year in the next two years. Overall, the world GDP is expected to grow by 3.3% in 2012. Steel prices have recovered from the lows reached in December last year with increased buying activity seen across regions. However, the momentum seems to have lost steam and with the economic conditions in many parts of the world not looking strong, steel capacity utilisation remains below 80%. Looking ahead, global steel market developments are likely to remain generally positive, but with lower growth in 2012 compared to 2011. For 2012 as a whole, global steel demand is forecasted to grow by a further 4% to reach 1,422 million tonnes. China, India and other emerging markets will continue to drive demand but recent market developments suggest likely slackening of demand. South Africa has a crucial role to play in the ferro chrome industry. There has been significant increase in power tariffs over the last 4 years. As a result, South Africa’s share of the total ferro chrome production worldwide now stands at approximately 40%.

 

At the same time, the Indian Ferro Alloys Industry is concerned about the insufficient availability of good quality raw-material mainly Chrome Ore, Coke and availability of cheaper imported Ferro Alloys. Further the problems of this industry are aggravated because of the high input cost of power as well as ore and stiff competition in the domestic and export markets. Since the ferro alloy industry is a power intensive unit, the power cost is about 35-40 percent of its total production cost and repeated power tariff hikes by state run power utility company have put the industry in a fix. In addition to the higher power tariff, the frequent power cuts in Andhra Pradesh are affecting the industry badly. At such high power tariff, there is hardly any margin and viability in the production of ferro alloys. These issues need to be addressed by the Government to enable the Ferro Alloys Producers to compete in the Domestic as well as International Markets.
