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.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The global economic environment, which was tenuous during major part of year 2011, turned sharply adverse during the second half. Consequently the global growth rate was only 3.9 per cent compared to 5.3 per cent in the previous year. Sovereign risk concerns, particularly in the euro area, after effects of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, unrest in certain oil-producing countries and downgrading by rating agencies of the US economy were some of the developments which resulted in weak global activity.

 

In India, the economy grew by 6.9 per cent in 2011-12 (as per Advance Estimates), after having grown at the rate of 8.4 per cent in each of the two preceding years. With agriculture and services continuing to perform well, India’s slowdown can be attributed almost entirely to weakening industrial growth. The index of industrial production for 9 months grew by only 3.6 per cent compared to 8.2 per cent last fiscal year. During the year, the government found itself in the heart of managing two conflicting demands viz. managing growth and price stability. Inflation as measured by the wholesale price index was high during most part of the current fiscal year. Monetary policy was tightened by the Reserve Bank of India during the year to control inflation and curb inflationary expectations.

 

 

COMPANY PERFORMANCE

 

REVENUE

 

The Abrasives and Ceramics business registered a strong growth of 20 per cent and 30 per cent respectively. The performance of the Electro minerals business was sedate consequent to the lower sales of Brown Fused Alumina.

 

 

MANUFACTURING

 

Manufacturing teams played a key role, helping the Company in the growth momentum through effective production planning and order execution. Capacity additions, through line balancing and establishment of additional lines, came in handy to cater to the increased demand from customers. Several plants operated at peak capacities.

 

Cost of key inputs witnessed a steep increase resulting in increased cost pressures for the Indian, Russian and South African operations. Escalation in cost of fuel impacted profit margins in certain locations. Internal efficiency improvements were undertaken to offset the cost push.

 

The operations of the manufacturing locations in Tamil Nadu, India, came under pressure due to the precarious power scenario in the state and the regulatory constraints imposed on use of captive power sources.

 

 

PERFORMANCE OF BUSINESS SEGMENT
 
ABRASIVES 
 
BUSINESS PROFILE

The Indian abrasives industry continues to be largely catered by two leading players. There are a number of players specializing in select products. The market is also catered to by imports, particularly from China. On a consolidated basis, the Company has a leadership position in the Indian markets. Due to the soft market conditions in many advanced economies, India is becoming the focus market for major global players resulting in increased competition.

 

In the domestic Russian market there are three major players. The Company is the market leader in vitrified bonded abrasives. Imports service a sizeable portion of the market.

 
 
CERAMICS 
 
BUSINESS PROFILE 
 

As a consolidated entity, the ceramics business has three product lines viz. industrial ceramics, super refractories and anti corrosives. Industrial ceramics business offers alumina and zirconia products of technical ceramic grades addressing wear and corrosion protection, electrical insulation, thermal protection and ballistic protection applications. The super refractories product group supplies fired and monolithic super refractories, refractory fibre and also refractory design and installation services addressing the insulation / thermal resistance requirements of industries.

INDUSTRY SCENARIO

 

There has been no material change in the ceramics industry structure in India, which is catered to by a few major players. CUMI is a market leader in certain market segments. In Australia, CUMI Australia is one of the leading players in the lined equipment and industrial ceramic tiles industry. There are about a dozen players in the industry, most of whom market products imported from China and USA.

 

The refractory industry in Russia is a highly fragmented market with several players of varied sizes. The Company is a minor player in the industry. There was no major change in the industry structure during the year. 

 

 

ELECTRO MINERALS
 
BUSINESS PROFILE
 

As a consolidated entity, the major product groups of this business segment are fused alumina (comprising brown and white alumina), silicon carbide and fused zirconia. The company also manufactures a range of ‘specialities’ like semifriable, Azure-S, plasma powders, etc., for niche markets. The operations are carried out through six manufacturing facilities located in India, Russia and South Africa. Products are sold to customers located in over 40 countries. Key user industries for this business are abrasives, refractories and steel. The business also has a captive mine and a captive power plant.

 

 

INDUSTRY SCENARIO

 

The market structure in the global electro minerals business remained largely unchanged with the Company continuing as one of the leading players in silicon carbide and fused zirconia. In fused alumina, the company is largely a national player with customers based in India. The Indian market continues to be catered by two players. Apart from the domestic players, imported products have a visible share in the market. There was no major change in the industry structure during the year.

 

 

FINANCE

 

In India, inflation has been one of the prime concerns for policymakers and businesses all through the year. Major part of the financial year witnessed high inflation rates, which resulted in a high interest rate regime.

 

During the year, the Company’s cash generation was strong. Long term external commercial borrowings were repaid as per the schedule. No new long term borrowings were contracted. The Company continued to retain its strong credit ratings ‘P1+’ for short-term borrowings and ‘AA+ Stable’ for long-term borrowings – from CRISIL. In addition, Dun and Bradstreet awarded ‘D&B Rating 1’ which indicates highest level of credit worthiness. Healthy relationship was maintained with banks in India and abroad and all debts were serviced on time.

 

Capital expenditure program of the year was funded from internal accruals. The Company had mainly resorted to foreign currency six months funding to finance its working capital needs which helped it to enjoy the benefit of lower interest rates. With the Indian entity enjoying a significant natural hedge, a cautious approach was adopted to hedging the remaining exposures.

 

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

 

Global growth is projected to drop from about 4 percent in 2011 to about 3˝ percent in 2012 because of weak activity during the second half of 2011 and the first half of 2012. However some re-acceleration of activity is expected during the course of 2012 which is expected to return growth to about 4 percent in 2013. The euro area is expected to still remain sluggish as a result of the sovereign debt crisis and a general loss of confidence, the effects of bank de-leveraging on the real economy, and the impact of fiscal consolidation in response to market pressures. Because of the problems in Europe, activity will continue to disappoint for the advanced economies as a group, expanding by only about 1˝ percent in 2012. Real GDP growth in the emerging and developing economies is projected to slow from 6Ľ percent in 2011 to 5ľ percent in 2012 helped by easier macroeconomic policies and strengthening foreign demand. With the increasing integration of the Indian economy with the world, economic activity in India will also be impacted by global developments. As per government estimates the growth rate of real GDP for 2012-13 is expected to be 7.6% (+/- 0.25) per cent.

 

Given the above background, the Company plans to continue to pursue its growth trajectory with cautious optimism. The threats to growth and profits from the economy and market place will be suitably addressed and counter balanced through diversification of end uses, establishing new markets, opening up new customer relationships, better cost management and operating efficiencies.

 

 

EXPORTS

 

Exports from India, continued to grow at a rapid pace during the year. The Company registered a 25 per cent growth, driven by strong performances in industrial ceramics and abrasives.

 

The abrasives business started yielding the benefits of the efforts taken in earlier years with regard to development of strategic customer relationships and also the product specific approach adopted for select geographies. As a result, exports of abrasives increased by 42 per cent to Rs.477 million. Both bonded and coated abrasives participated in the growth momentum.

 

International sales of industrial ceramics grew by 55 per cent, from Rs.635 million to Rs. 983 million. With the state of the art facilities and technologies built up in recent years, the business was able to make significant in roads into the global wear ceramics and metallised ceramics markets. The initiatives taken to establish presence in new markets in China, America and Europe paid rich dividends resulting in a steady stream of orders.

 

The refractories business also registered a 15 per cent growth in exports, aided by the spurt in export of anticorrosive products and the associated project work. The electrominerals business, which has been enjoying a good run in exports during recent years, faced a slow down due to difficult market conditions. The difficulties in the European economy lead to cuts in subsidies for the photovoltaic industry resulting in a glut in the market and a downward spiral in prices. The business managed to retain its major customers backed by consistent quality and supportive pricing. New markets were also addressed in China to reduce the dependency of the business on European markets. As a result, the business managed to maintain exports at previous year levels of Rs.772 million.

 

Export development efforts across businesses was in the form of participation in leading trade shows, country specific strategies for market entry and development, cultivation of strategic relationships with large volume buyers, instilling customer confidence through plant visits and fostering customer intimacy by customizing products to meet proprietary and demanding specifications of key customers.

 

The various approaches adopted during the current year will continue to be pursued next year to maintain the growth momentum.
