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

 

BUSINESS SCENARIO AND PERFORMANCE SNAP SHOT:

 

During the Financial Year (FY) 2011-12 the Indian Economy saw its GDP slip to about 7% from the higher rates of growth of 8.5% - 9% seen in the past years. In addition to a slowing GDP, the economy also saw inflation average in excess of 9% for FY 2011-12 with the peak seen close to double digits in the third quarter. Fiscal deficit which was earlier projected at 4.6% of GDP failed to meet its target and ended the year at 5.9%. Compounded to this was the Liquidity crunch which was felt all throughout the year. Money supply was short and this affected the cash flows severely. Major slowdown was observed in the Power projects, Construction / Infra projects and Auto sector - which are traditionally the growth engines for the Welding Industry. The year was also marked by high inflation and consequent postponement of the much expected CAPEX plans of the relevant industries. During the financial year the raw material prices went up substantially - some to unforeseen levels - putting severe margin pressure for all in the industry.

 

Notwithstanding the unfavourable economic environment, our Company pursued its aggressive campaign to improve its market share and move forward in its quest for regaining the industry leadership position. The Company registered a growth in its Turnover of 16% over last year. The business of Consumables grew by 18% over the last year and Equipments by 9%. It is their estimate that based on the mere 5% growth rate, attained by the leading competitor in the last year, they should have gained about 2% in their market share! The marketing drive was spearheaded by a sustained expansion of their distribution network - they increased the numbers from 92 in the previous year to 120 in the current year. Motivational policies drove the distribution – based business growth of 11% over last year, notwithstanding the 13% increase from direct end-user business segment, over the same period. Continuous efforts over the last 3 years at improving the effectiveness of Field Sales management to retain existing customers as well as gain new customers have created a funnel of opportunities that they will harness on a continuous basis.

 

During the year, the Company executed its first biggest single order for PEB amounting to Rs. 164.300 Millions. However, the profit on Consumables dropped by 20.4% whereas on Equipment it grew by 1%. The overall PBT dropped by 21% over last year. This was due to the 4% drop in gross margins, because of their inability to fully pass on the impact of Raw Material cost increases to customers and the product mix shifting to lower contribution products in line with market trends. Most of the other expenses were kept under check.

 

Overall Export business grew to Rs. 340.000 Millions from Rs. 270.000 Millions. This growth in Exports came particularly from the Welding business in Overseas Markets where the sales of Consumables grew from Rs. 140.000 Millions to Rs. 240.000 Millions and in the Equipment business from Rs. 50.000 Millions to Rs. 90.000 Millions. However the Project business dropped to Rs.10.000 Millions from Rs. 80.000 Millions of last year. They are expecting that the growth trend will continue in the next year and aim to achieve a turnover of Rs. 500.000 Millions in FY 2012-13.

 

Company’s expansion of capacity of Solid Wires at Raipur Plant and improved capacity utilization of SAW wires and Fluxes as well as FCAW wires, has delivered significant increase in the volume of business in this segment. This will continue to grow in the near future and they expect to capture substantial market share in this segment.

 

Quality remains the main focus area for the Company and this has helped it maintain its unique position as a leader for Quality products in the Industry. This was evidenced by the acceptance of their special products, with special / customized attributes for critical applications, by special fabricators in the Oil and Gas Sector, Power Sector and Equipment fabrication with special MOC. Their quality labs are regularly upgraded to provide certification of stringent performance qualifications demanded for new welding applications in the growing infra sector.

 

 

OUTLOOK, CONCERNS AND RISKS:

 

Outlook for the financial year 2012-13 looks generally encouraging with the Government bringing in higher budgetary allocation to the infra sector and the promised focus to raise Manufacturing GDP over the next 10 years. Expansion plan especially in the railway sector for manufacturing of additional 18,000 wagons also provides another growth opportunity. RBI has recently announced rate cuts in the CRR and this is encouraging as it will bring in liquidity in the market. However, rising inflation, increase in the major raw material prices and hardening interest rates are major concerns. New competition from global players setting up manufacturing activities locally would increase pressure on the margins. They plan to implement strategic initiatives related to strengthening the customer relationships, new business development and new product launches in their marketing plan and cost control, productivity improvements in their manufacturing. These initiatives would enable increase the market share at reasonable margins. Also the Company is exploring opportunities for Technology Tie-ups beyond the shores of India.
