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.

BUSINESS:

 

Owing to contrasting policy decisions taken by the authorities the cotton textile sector had a lackluster performance for the financial year ended 31st March 2012. The turnover was marginally impacted adversely due to uncertainties created by policy decisions. During such testing time, the Company made a significant growth in value added products by introduction of multiple additions to the existing range of products / segments.

 

NEW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT:

 

The Company has already taken initiatives to move up in the textile value chain. Major capital items’ orders and requisite infrastructure creation is under execution. The project is expected to be commissioned during the current financial year. The project is expected to cement Company’s position in value added segment.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

 

The theory of economic decoupling is again in vogue with the slowing down of GDP growth and repetitive monthly negative IIP data. The looming inflationary pressure and widening trade deficit for the national economy coupled with dried up inflow of investments in the economy is reflected in pessimism prevalent in all sectors of economy. The tightening of monetary policy coupled with a contrasting inflationary pressure has set in a negative tone in economy notwithstanding the fact that economic growth in vicinity of 7% is not dismal.

 

Fiscal 2012 began with booming shades of growth for the textile industry but shadows of pressurized profits for the textile industry were visible quite early due to indecisive and momentary actions of the chosen departments of the Government of India that are responsible for having friendly policies for the general well being of economy and industry. While India remains the second largest importer of textile machinery from EU, no significant expansion in the industry was executed in time to convey the sentiments of the industry.

 

During the year, the Indian Rupee initially strengthened followed by a significant depreciation against USD to bring even more uncertainty in the export and import market. Strengthening of USD generally helps enhance exports, yet in the peculiar economic journey that they are into, the depreciation of the national currency is considered a benefit to the buyer resulting in continuous pressure on the otherwise weaker textile segment. Frequent intervention from the Apex bank is being ruled out to bring stability to the national currency to pose further challenges for facilitating export potential.

 

During the previous cotton season, the prices of cotton reached historic highs before registering a historic fall. The stock built-up by cotton yarn manufacturers during the crop season led to value erosion after multiple adverse interventions by the policy makers. The decisions of the policy makers created international impact, India being the second largest producer and consumer of cotton that had cascading effect on the entire cotton value chain.

With textile being a discretionary expenditure, any adverse policy decision has got higher multiplication on the financial outcome of the business.

 

The trend of frequent changes in the decision for the cotton sectors continue even during the current crop season. With cotton crop largely dependent upon monsoon in India, frequent interventions through prudent and unpredictable, unindicative policy measures only worsen the outlook for the industry. With the national economy having grown in the vicinity of 7%, the domestic demand remains robust whereas the export market may continue lackluster performance.

 

They need to review performance of the Company in this backdrop. The comprehensive report hereunder should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes appended thereto for the periods under reference. The financial reporting has been aligned to revised pronouncement having changes in schedule VI to the Companies Act. The previous year financial figures have undergone a change due to re-grouping requirement. The discussion contains some forward looking statements based upon the intent and perception of the management of the Company. However, the actual outcome may be influenced by the external factors.

 

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR:

 

During the year, the Company commissioned its wind power project in the western part of Rajasthan adding up 8.95 MW capacity. The Company firmed up its plan for modernization of its spinning production capacity and expansion of fabric business that is expected to go in productions towards the later half of the following financial year.

 

INCOME:

 

The Company derives its operating revenues from Yarn (cotton / synthetic) and fabric businesses. During the year, the revenues had a minor set-back owing to poor market off-take led by volatility in the cotton market caused due to political interventions.

 

The Company derives 21% (Previous Year: 22%) of its product revenues by way of export of its products, of which 40% (Previous year 8%) is in terms of Foreign exchange. Direct exports registered growth of 384% on FOB value basis, year-on-year. The bottom weight range was strengthened during the year while value added yarn capacities have been added looking to the market response. With upward move in textile value chain, the Company expects to fetch a better realization per unit in the coming periods. The Company has made entry into the apparel business during the year. In the following years, a larger share of revenues is expected from the new line of business.

 

Capitalizing upon its competence and detailed understanding about the textile processes, the Company is building upon its outsourcing model to provide larger basket of products for the dynamic requirements of customers. The Company continues to build volumes in institutional segment of customers as part of its long term strategy. Widespread customer base ensures that no single customer accounts for significant part of sales of its chosen product portfolio to have any adverse impact in case of any downslide.

 

Towards the end of the fiscal, the Company commissioned its Wind Power project in western Rajasthan with initial capacities of 8.95 MW. The revenues from the full year operations would be visible in the following financial year. “Other Income” represents the Returns earned on parking of the surplus cash available with the Company subsequent to monetization of its shareholding in the Andhra Pradesh Paper Mills Limited.

 

MAJOR COSTS:

 

RAW MATERIALS COSTS:

 

The cotton crop size at the national level has been the highest in the last two seasons. However, due to imperfect policy measures, the prices of major raw material, i.e. cotton registered historic dips after registering a historic high in the initial part of the crop season, the stocks whereof were carried forward and consumed during the current financial year. All through the later half of the previous crop season, the prices of cotton struggled to stablise whereas, following a prudent stocking policy, the Company, like all other established cotton textile players, continued to consume higher cost cotton with the prices of the finished goods aligned to the beaten down crop prices. Whereas the average cost of clean cotton increased by 18%, the prices of cotton yarn registered marginal growth of 1% resulting in higher raw material cost as percentage to sales revenue.

 

Increase in the cost of traded goods is in line with the increase in the volume. Overall input costs after considering change in the processed inventory accounted for 76% of sales as compared to 67% in the previous year. The policy measures remain unpredictable, more often than not, reversible after damaging, but the Company has taken corrective measures to align the stocking norms in view of unpredictable political compulsions that may lead to erosion of value in otherwise pessimistic industrial view.

 

MANUFACTURING COSTS:

 

The Company has got adequate back up power facilities to facilitate manufacturing in the event of a grid supply failure. The total power and fuel costs were at Rs. 456.000 Millions, down by 2% from the previous year Rs. 466.200 Millions after absorbing 25% increase in coal costs and 17% increase in grid power costs. The per unit consumption parameters, however, do not convey the efforts made to rationalize the consumption in view of unequal variation in the product mix.

 

The strategic decision of sourcing a part of its power requirement from the group captive usage generation facilities has enabled the Company to maintain lower cost of procuring power. As part of its Social Measures, the Company had commissioned its water re-cycling plant with the dual intent of conserving natural resources as well as ensuring abundant availability of water for all future expansion. The higher costs of operating pollution control measures at Rs. 8.100 Millions (PY Rs. 5.200 Millions) has got its indirect benefits in operating costs of manufacturing operations.

 

MANPOWER COSTS:

 

The entire manufacturing operations are manpower intensive. The year witnessed a significant migration of work forces to various infrastructure projects run by the government. However, abundance of skilled officers / engineers ensures the optimal operating outcome. During the year, the manpower costs have gone up by 8.4% from Rs.255.400 Millions to Rs. 276.900 Millions. The costs as percentage to sales have increased from 5.9% to 6.5% largely due to strategic business decisions aligned to long term growth plan of business that would have visibility over the period of time.

 

SELLING AND GENERAL ADMINISTRATION COSTS:

 

The selling costs have reduced by 6% year on year and account for 1.4% of sales as compared to 1.5% of sales in the previous year. Other administrative costs were almost unchanged at less than 1% of sales.

 

OUTLOOK:

 

During the current financial year, most of the textile players suffered due to unpredictable and reversible policy announcements and timing of the same. The government policies have bearing on the international market impacting the off-take of the products, being the second largest player in the world. Coupling the negative international market sentiments led by economic crisis and slow recovery cycle, the domestic market is also expected to remain dull due to higher inflation rates and tighter monetary regime that is expected to shrink the size of the operational industry in the country. The Company, however, has to consider it an opportunity to establish in-roads in the competitive segment.

 

During the year, the Company has initiated its fabric expansion plan. The project, when operational, is expected to bring sizable revenues from value added products that has potential to bring additional disproportionate value with minor capital expenditure. The scalable manufacturing competence is reflection of management commitment to build and strengthen its position in huge textile sector. Towards the end of the current financial year, the Company could be looking at fetching benefits post expansion of the intended project.

 

Cotton, notwithstanding increase in the acreage, is expected to remain firm, having bottomed out during the current financial year. Once the prices and trends are stabilized and perceived so in the industry, the off-take is expected to take off with the past prolonged postponement of the discretionary spend. However, volatility in the international currency market could have some bearing on overall volume growth, Indian industry being dependent upon export business. Overall, the Company remains optimistic for the upside in the industry with very limited scope in offing for the downside. Inclusion of Textile Upgradation Fund Scheme in the next five year plan has indicated the intent of the Government as well to continue to pursue expansion of the industry.
