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.

PERFORMANCE

 

PETROCHEM DIVISION

 

The PET plant at Haldia operated at 105% capacity utilisation. The production of PET resin increased from 2,00,981 MT in 2010-11 to 2,08,975 MT in 2011-12.

 

Although the plant operated in excess of 100% capacity utilization the margins remained under pressure throughout the year. Further the unexpected and steep decline in the value of Indian Rupee against other foreign currencies also affected the bottomline.

 

The Directors take satisfaction to inform that all the term loans pertaining to the first PET project of the Company have been fully repaid in the financial year 2011-12. The pledge of 53,04,700 shares in the Company held by Dhunseri Investments Limited, provided as a security in respect of the aforesaid term loans, have since been released on 3rd April 2012.

 

As reported in last year’s Directors’ Report in respect to the unfortunate incidence of fire due to electrical short circuit in the raw materials godown at Haldia plant on 14th March 2011, the Directors wish to inform that the claims under the “Stock Policy” towards destruction of raw materials and packing materials and reimbursement of expenses aggregating to Rs. 518.200 Millions have been settled by the insurance company to the tune of Rs. 362.600 Millions (net of salvage of Rs. 53.200 Millions) in the current year. The shortfall on this account amounting to Rs. 102.400 Millions has been charged off in the books of accounts for the year ended 31st March 2012.

 

Further, during the current year the Company restored to operation some fire damaged fixed assets valuing Rs. 28.900 Millions in the books and as on 31st March 2012 is carrying Rs. 98.200 Millions in the books of accounts towards amount receivable from insurance company on account of loss incurred on damage/ destruction of fixed assets and spares under “Industrial All Risk” (IAR) policy. The Company expects to receive the claim amount under IAR policy shortly.

 

 

TEA DIVISION

 

Crop in Assam was affected due to early close of season due to no rain from end September 2011 till first week of April 2012 resulting in severe drought. There was increased pest activity due to very unfavourable weather condition.

 

The production of the Company increased from 103.03 lac kgs tea made to 134.81 lac kgs tea made mainly due to addition from new bought leaf factories. However, price realisation was substantially lower due to poor market condition for medium quality teas especially from new bought leaf factories where quality parameters could not be stabilised in the first year. Orthodox market was also substantially lower by Rs. 20/- due to fall in prices of orthodox teas as compared with Rs. 17.16 lower for their teas.

 

 

PROSPECTS

 

PETROCHEM DIVISION

 

The existing plant is running at full capacity utilisation and is expected to operate likewise in the coming year.

 

The project for expansion of the PET plant capacity in Haldia to 4,10,000 TPA from 2,00,000 TPA is progressing satisfactorily. Mechanical completion is expected to be achieved around middle of May 2012. Start up of trial run is expected around middle of June 2012. Delay in the project completion is due to delay in civil construction caused by heavy rains during construction.

 

With this the capacity of the Company’s total production will increase to around 3,50,000 tonnes for the financial year 2012-13. The Company appointed marketing representatives in various international markets and is gearing up to meet marketing challenges to sell enhanced production.

 

As already reported in the last report, the Company plans to produce and market barrier resins using M and G’s state of the art BicoPET technology, after carrying out necessary modifications in the existing plant. All the equipments for this purpose have been procured. The erection of these equipments will be done after the commissioning of the new plant. After the erection of the plant and machinery, the commissioning will be synchronised with the maintenance shutdown of the existing plant.

 

 

TEA DIVISION

 

Tea garden received some useful rain in the second week of April (after prolonged drought for the past six months) and now crop prospects appears to be good from the month of May 2012 onwards. The Company mitigated the ill effect of drought to a large extent by continuous use of sprinkler irrigation. Some gardens in South Bank also suffered this year due to less rainfall up to February 2012 where irrigation facilities are provided only for

newly planted tea areas.

 

Continued emphasis given on manufacturing quality teas yielded favourable results in some gardens. However, all the gardens have been brought under similar manufacturing process to improve the quality as well as grade mix and there should be substantial improvement in overall quality of teas to be produced by the Company in the Season 2012.

 

Company’s packet tea brands LAL GHORA and KALA GHORA continued to receive good response from consumers due to overall improvement in quality and also packaging which helped in achieving the targeted sale quantity and it is expected that there should be substantial increase in sale quantity in 2012-13 as the trend shows for the month of April 2012.

 

The tea market is expected to remain good during the year and difference in prices would be maintained for quality teas.

 

The Company has sold and handed over one tea factory in Assam and negotiation for another tea factory is under progress and expected to be completed shortly.

 

The operations of the remaining two bought leaf factories are being stabilised and is expected to achieve the targeted quantity of 3 mn kg tea made depending on availability of quality green leaf at competitive rates in the area. A new factory at Hatijan Tea Estate is being constructed having an annual capacity of 1.5 mn kg production and commercial production will start from the first week of May 2012.

 

Further subsequent to the end of financial year 2011-12, the Company has entered into an agreement for sale of one of the tea estates namely Namsang Tea Estate, having around 5% of the production of the Company, at a consideration of Rs. 282.900 Millions

 

The Company’s current tea production is 13.5 mn kg and is expected to reach 20 mn kg in the next 2/3 years if negotiations to acquire tea gardens abroad fructifies.

 

 

IT-SEZ Division

 

The construction work of ‘Dhunseri IT Park’ at Bantala is progressing gradually. In respect of the first phase having a built up area of 3,70,000 sq. ft., the construction is expected to be completed in the last quarter of financial year 2012-13.

 

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Company’s performance for the coming year is expected to be satisfactory.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

PETROCHEM DIVISION

 

OVERVIEW

 

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a versatile plastic used as a packaging material for beverages, food, personal

and home care, pharmaceuticals, consumer and industrial products. The material gained global acceptance as a preferred packaging material on account of hygiene, strength, lightness, durability, inertness, economy, attractiveness and freshness-retention. Global food and health-safety agencies approved PET as perfectly safe for food and beverage packaging.

 

The result is that PET consumption increased significantly in the last 15 years over other alternative packaging materials (aluminium, glass, paper and others). This is best reflected in global PET demand increase for beverage

packaging, which grew at a CAGR of 7.5% in 15 years compared with 2.2% for aluminium and 1.5% for glass. As a result, the product is establishing its superiority and deepening its penetration across products, sectors and countries

 

 

GLOBAL PET RESIN INDUSTRY

 

The global PET resin industry grew at a 6% CAGR in the five years leading to 2011-12. The industry experienced an oversupply; global capacity utilization was placed at 79% in 2011, which is expected to improve to 84% in 2015. Global PET packaging consumption is expected to grow 5.1% annually to 19.1 MT by 2017 with an estimated value of USD 43.7 bn. Asia is expected to account for 29.4% of the world’s PET packaging consumption.

 

The PET packaging markets have evolved over the years, with demand shifting from Europe and the US to Asia-Pacific. West Europe and North America accounted for about 24% and 28% respectively of the global PET packaging demand in 2007; they are expected to account for about 17% and 21% of the demand respectively by

2017. On the other hand, Asia-Pacific demand is likely to increase from 25% to 34% during the period

 

 

INDIAN PET RESIN INDUSTRY

 

The Indian packaging industry (USD 15 billion) grew at a 15% CAGR in the five years leading to 2011-12; the industry is expected to grow to USD 40 billion by 2015, driven by a huge consumption growth for products like milk, food, beverages, food grains and pharmaceuticals as well as a packaging shift from the conventional to PET. Demand for PET from within India grew at a compounded 35% in FY06-11 even as the country’s per capita PET consumption remained at a low 0.3 kg (global average 2.3 kg) people over 10 years ending 2011

 

Youth: Almost 65% of Indians between the age group of 20-60 years are employed, leading to higher disposable incomes in the hands of the youth with aspirations for a better lifestyle. An estimated 70 million individuals will enter the workforce over the next five years.

 

Increasing disposable income: The average employee remuneration grew 10.8% in 2010-11; per capita income

is estimated to rise 14.3% to Rs. 0.061 Million in 2011-12

 

Urbanisation: According to the United Nations, India is the world’s fastesturbanising country. Nearly 30% of India’s population live in urban locations; almost 40% could be living in urban areas by 2030

 

 

SEGMENT-WISE OR PRODUCTWISE PERFORMANCE

 

During the year, the Company’s PET sales revenue increased 26% to Rs. 17855.900 Millions in 2011-12. The Company’s domestic sales grew 35% to Rs. 12207.800 Millions, accounting for 68% of the total PET sales. Exports grew 9% to Rs. 5648.100 Millions, accounting for 32% of the total PET sales. Domestic sales were higher given the increased demand in the sub-continent coupled with attractive margins.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The Company undertook improvements in its existing plant and focused on commissioning its upcoming Haldia (2,10,000 TPA by June 2012) and Egypt plants (4,20,000 TPA by Q4 FY 2012-13). The Egypt plant will cater to the growing PET demand in Africa, the Middle East and Europe, whereas the Indian expansion will cater primarily to the Asian market (including India) and some demand of Europe and the US. The Company optimised its existing resources and appointed marketing representatives to market the material coming out of the expanded capacity.

 

The outlook for this division is positive as the global PET resin industry is expected to grow at a compounded 5% in 5 years whereas Indian consumption is expected to grow at a compounded 18-20% during the period. The packaging industry in India, a major consumer of PET resins, is expected to grow at a compounded rate of 15% to USD 40 billion by 2015

 

 

 

TEA DIVISION

 

OVERVIEW

 

The global tea industry is largely dominated by India, the world’s secondlargest producer and largest consumer. India offers a wide tea range (CTC, orthodox, green tea) compared with other tea exporting countries. The country’s tea industry accounts for 30% of the world production, 25% of global consumption and provides employment to over 35 lac workers across 1,500 tea estates. The Indian tea industry faces competition from China, Sri Lanka, Kenya and Vietnam.

 

 

PRODUCTION

 

India’s tea production increased from 966.4 mn kg in 2010 to 988.33 mn kg in 2011. Assam (509 mn kg of tea in 2011) contributed to over 50% of this production

 

 

EXPORTS

 

India’s tea exports declined from 193.3 mn kg in 2010 to 186.7 mn kg in 2011, given the sharp decline (24%) in exports during January-April 2011. Tea exports stood at Rs. 25950.000 Millions in 2011 compared with Rs. 27860.000 Millions in 2010

 

 

IMPORTS

 

India’s tea imports declined from 20.04 mn kg in 2010 to 18.6 mn kg in 2011. Imports declined from Rs. 2144.400 Millions in 2010 to Rs. 1726.900 Millions in 2011

 

 

YIELD

 

The country’s tea yield per hectare is more or less stagnant in the last few years. India’s yield per hectare in 2009, 2010 and 2011 stood at 1,662 mn kg, 1,662.9 mn kg and 1,697 mn kg respectively

 

 

TEA DEMAND DRIVERS

 

Preference: India is the world’s largest tea consumer, accounting for nearly 25% of the global tea production

 

Health benefits: Tea is perceived as a health drink, helps to combat cardise ailments, controls cholesterol, protects the skin, keeps cancer at bay, strengthens bones and teeth and contains no calories, fat or salt.

 

Affordability: Nearly 90% of Indian households are regular tea drinkers, the beverage being cheap and affordable.

 

National drink: Indian Government finalised to declare tea as the national beverage with effect from 17th April 2013.

 

 

SEGMENT-WISE OR PRODUCTWISE PERFORMANCE

 

The Company suffered on account of severe drought and major pest attacks in its gardens during 2011-12, leading to crop loss and decrease in revenues. Notwithstanding this, overall tea production increased from 10.29 mn kg in 2010-11 to 13.48 mn kg in 2011- 12 due to the Company’s acquisition of bought leaf factories. Average tea realisation decreased from Rs. 134.07 per kg to Rs. 113.38 per kg mainly on account of tea made in bought leaf factories. The new factory at Hatijan tea estate is expected to be commissioned shortly having a capacity of 1.5 mn kg. The Company sold one bought leaf factory during the year and another bought leaf factory is at the final stage of negotiations for sale due to non-availability of sufficient quantity of good quality green leaf.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The Indian tea industry (six lac hectares under cultivation) is expected to report a CAGR of 15%, its turnover increasing from Rs. 195000.000 Millions to Rs. 330000.000 Millions by 2015. Volume-wise, production is expected to reach 1,000 mn kgs in 2012. As tea consumption grows faster than production, tea prices are expected to progressively strengthen
