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.
