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.

OPERATIONS

During the year, the first half was reasonably good, whereas there was decline in the demand during the second half. The biggest challenge, during the year, has been the increase in the cost of raw materials and components, rising interest rates and intense competition. As a result, there was a slight decline in the net sales of the Company from Rs.17136.270 Millions for the 15 months ended on 31st December, 2010 to Rs.13386.870 Millions for the current year. Consequently, the profit after tax has also declined from Rs.160.540 Millions to Rs.35.180 Millions.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

The Management of the Company has pleasure in presenting the Management Discussion and Analysis Report in compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance under Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

The global consumer electronics industry is set to witness growth in the near future, with the rising technological innovations. The digital technology revolution has enabled the industry to earn profit from the growing interaction of digital applications.

 

Though the consumer electronics and home appliances market in India has been going through a period of steady growth, it cannot remain isolated from the overall economy. As prices increase, consumer finance becomes more expensive and discretionary budget available to household shrinks.
