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'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

 

BUSINESS REVIEW:

 

The global economy kicked off a sputtering growth in FY 2010-11 with developed economies showing faint signs of revival. The main engine of global growth, the United States, moved into a recovery mode with employment coming off highs and retails sales growing month on month, albeit slightly, and consumer confidence improving. This growth was accompanied by a huge surge in world commodity prices, with the Continuous Commodity Index (CCI) surging more than 42% during the year. This rise was mainly attributed to the $600 billion of Quantitative Easing part Deux (QE2) by the Federal Bank of America which released unprecedented amounts of liquidity. This liquidity got channeled into commodities and prices soared. This also gave rise to supply side inflation and fast growing economies in Asia bore the brunt. Their economies had barely recovered from the financial crises of FY 2008-09 and raising rates at this juncture would have meant putting a spanner in the way of growth. Most Asian economies therefore held off raising interest rates till the second half of the year and then a series of quick rate hikes followed, more particularly in China and India, who have clearly indicated that they don't mind sacrificing growth at the altar of inflation control. As a result, the earnings growth is expected to be hit in the current fiscal. In anticipation, the commodities have already come off their lifetime highs.

 

 

COTTON AND YARN:

 

Cotton prices were buoyed by strong global fundamentals, with US Department of Agriculture (USDA) reports forecasting a 6% y/y reduction in end season stocks to 41.5 million bales (of 480 lbs). This compares with 43.9 million bales (mb) in 2009-10 and 60.5 mb in 2008-09.

 

Although global cotton demand dipped by around 1.3% y/y in 2010-11, import demand from China rose by 37% y/y over the same period. Both developments were mainly due to supply constraints and global price rationing following a 8% decline in China's cotton output. China traditionally accounts for 30% of global cotton production. Extremely tight global end season stocks underpinned prices; the stocks-to-use ratio at 35% will be the tightest since the 1993-94 season. In order to curtail the rise in cotton yarn prices, the Indian Government had imposed a limit of 720 mln kgs on cotton yarn to be exported in FY 2010-11.

 

 

OUTLOOK FOR COTTON PRICES:

 

These high prices are not expected to sustain, in part on expectations of increased acreage, particularly in US, China and Africa. China's import demand is also expected to slow down on a combination of high market prices, stronger output and competition from synthetic fibres. China has also planned a cotton purchase-and-reserve policy in 2011 with a view to stabilising prices in the new season. Pakistan, where floods devastated cotton crops in the 2010-11 season, is another market which is likely to see a substantial increase in cotton output from previous year. Overall, the world market is expected to remain structurally tight (although better than FY 2010-11), but this will not be fully apparent until later in the season when the new crop stocks are drawn down. Global cotton production is expected to increase by about 13% from 24.5 million tonnes in cotton season 2010-11 (Oct to Sept) to 27.5 million tonnes in cotton season 2011-12. The closing stock of 2011-12 is expected to be around 10.5 million tons which is higher than last 2 years but still lower than normal closing stock levels in the past. The stock-to-use ratio is expected to improve to about 42% but will still be lower than the normal 48-52% in the past (excluding last 2 years).

 

In anticipation of a bumper cotton crop this year, global cotton prices as of now have already come off their previous highs. The Dec New York future is significantly lower than the current New York future. Global yarn prices are decreasing in line with the cotton prices. Overall, this year is likely to be turbulent and may have adverse impact on the operations of the Industry at large. However because of prudent cotton buying practices and conservative financial norms, Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS): TUFS had been suspended temporarily by the government in June 2010. The Scheme has now been re-instated with a few changes; (i) Capital subsidy will now be available on looms for weaving as well. (ii) a 5% interest reimbursement may be given to the spinning units (against 4% earlier) if the unit is set up with matching downstream capacity in weaving/processing. (iii) A cap of Rs.19820.000 Millions has been put on the total subsidy which will be given for the next one year. This has been allocated between various sectors. The sunset clause of the scheme remains unchanged at March 31, 2012. All loans sanctioned till that date will be eligible for subsidy for the life of the loan. The government of India has also restored the export benefit of DEPB on cotton yarn retrospectively with effect from 1st April 2011.

 

In 2010-11, the cotton crop in China and Pakistan was damaged by bad weather and the lobal production fell. This led to an increase in cotton prices. The boom in prices was also fuelled by speculative trading in commodities which increased prices beyond fundamentals. India had exported 8.5 million bales of cotton in 2009-10. In September 2010, the Government of India announced a cap of 5.5 million bales of cotton for exports, around 18% of the estimated production of 31.5 million bales (of 375 lbs) in the current cotton season (CS) 2010-11. This lead to lesser availability of cotton for trade and with high import demand from China, international prices rose during the month. Prices in India also increased. The Cotlook A index rose by 133% from $1 per pound in September, 2010 to about $2.33 per pound in March, 2011 due to limited availability for exports on the back of restrictions by India coupled with robust demand from China and traditional importing countries. Indian Shankar 6 rose in tandem from Rs.0.037 Million candy in Sept 2010 to Rs.0.062 Million candy in March 2011. In line with cotton prices, cotton yarn prices also continued to remain high. This increase was in fact more than the increase in cotton prices due to pent up demand in the system where the pipeline of yarn stocks was at very low levels and also due to increased demand from a recovering global economy. Cotton yarn prices touched a high of $6.50/kg. To look at this in perspective, the average of the last 20 years was around $3/kg, with $4.5/kg being the previous all time high in cotton yarn prices. These prices have since corrected.

SPORTKING PLANS MAJOR EXPANSION

 

PTI [Monday, December 05, 2005 03:45:24 PM]

 

LUDHIANA: Embarking upon a major expansion plan, Ludhiana-based Sportking Group has decided to invest Rs.1300.000 crore for enhancing its spindle & dyeing capacities and setting up a 15 MW power generation plant.

 

"We will invest Rs.800.000 crore on enhancing our spindling and dyeing capacity while Rs.500.000 crore will be invested on setting up a power generation plant. The investment process is expected to complete by June 2006," Sportking Managing Director Munish Avasthi told the agency.

 

The company has plans to install 35000 spindles with stipulated investments which will take the company's total spindle capacity to 81000.  With the proposed investment, the company plans to double its in-house dyeing capacity.

 

 

SPORTKING TO INVEST 50 CR ON EXPANSION PLANS

 

 

Ludhiana, February 8

 

The Sportking, a Ludhiana-based textile and spinning company would invest over Rs.50.000 Millions this year to expand its production capacity. The company would also open to its new outlets in North India.

 

It would create direct employment opportunities for at least 500 persons besides indirect jobs, says Mr. Raj Awasthi, Chairman-cum-Managing Director of the company.

 

In an interview to the TNS, Mr. Awasthi said, “We are eagerly awaiting for the end of quota system by next year, and are gearing ourselves to explore the export market. Though we are skeptical about the end of quota system, as the USA and European union may adopt non-trading barriers to curb the Indian exports, yet if allowed we will divert towards exports.”

 

He admitted that since exports from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and some countries in South African countries were not constrained by quota system, the Indian manufacturers were finding it hard to increase their exports despite the competitive edge. Stiff competition and fall in dollar value had adversely affected the profit margin of exporters.

 

However, he said, due to growing incomes, good monsoon, and growing consciousness for branded garments, the manufacturers were finding it more attractive to sell their garments in the domestic market.

 

The company had so far registered an average growth rate of 12 per cent in sales during the past many years, he said. The company was expecting a substantial increase in growth rate this year.

 

Mr. Awasthi disclosed that the Sportking had recently tied up with the Disney Group of the USA to sell their garments under Disney’s 14 brands. Another agreement had been signed with the Warner Brothers Group to use their brand name for the domestic market. “We expect sales of our garments under these foreign brands to touch Rs 2 Millions by the end of this year. Since the Warner Group has plans to launch its own 24 cartoon network channel in India soon, we expect a major jump in sales under that brand.”

 

In North India, the company was selling garments under Sportking and Mentor brands in middle-income group. In comparison to high-end brands like Adidas, Nike and other brands, the company was selling its readymade garments at a lower price.

 

The company’s turnover had increased from around Rs.100.000 Millions to over Rs.3000.000 Millions within a decade. It was exporting garments worth Rs.100.000 Millions annually to the European and US markets.

 

The group had employed around 5,000 employees at its three plants in Ludhiana, one dyeing unit, yarn unit and 26 outlets spread across all the major towns in North India. The Sportking had set up exclusive showrooms in Delhi, Noida, Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Jaipur. The company had plans to open four new outlets, including one at Chandigarh by April this year, he said.

 

The group was currently manufacturing all sorts of readymade garments for kids, women and men, besides yarn for other manufacturers. The product range included inner thermal wear, T-shirts, trousers, track suits, pullovers, shorts, casual dresses, jackets and other garments. The company had its in-house designing team and RandD centre that worked on new designs and products.

 

About the problems being faced by the company Mr. Awasthi said, “We do not face any major problems, except that due to low quality of life, the professional engineers and designers do not want to stay here for long. For instance, we recruited 35 designers from NIFT institutes in Delhi, Hyderabad and other cities. Within an year all except four left the company and the city as well. ”

 

He lamented that despite competitive pay packages in the industry, the manufacturers at Ludhiana found it difficult to retain good professionals.

 

“If I could find a good team of designers, the total turnover of our garment division would have increased by ten times,” he added.

 

High level of pollution, traffic congestion, lack of night life and other basic amenities in the region were the main hurdles in attracting good employees to the region, he said.

 

Regarding the financing of its expansion project, Mr. Awasthi said,“We have no plans to enter the primary market, rather we will use internal resources and bank loans. Since we are successfully brining the cost of production down by 5 to 7 per cent every year, there is no dearth of financial sources.”

 

With an annual advertising budget of about Rs.10.000 Millions, the company was making efforts to strengthen its brand in the market, said Mr. Awasthi.
