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.

LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

The turnover of the company during the year under report registered a satisfactory growth of more than 54% over the previous year. The company achieved the turnover of Rs.561.700 Millions (P.Y. Rs.363.200 Millions). The company could overcome the negative fallout of the global slowdown.

 

Despite stiff price competition from China, the top line growth has been achieved due to focused marketing efforts and qualitative edge of the company. The margin on the products continued to remain under pressure. The earning before finance cost for the year has been at Rs.38.200 Millions (P.Y. Loss Rs.0.167 Million).

 

The earnest efforts in controlling cost and improving efficiency at all levels have borne fruit resulting in reduction in the loss after tax for the year to Rs.5275.700 Millions (P.Y. Loss Rs.91.699 Millions). The cash loss also reduced to Rs.1666.600 Millions (P.Y. Loss Rs.57.276 Millions). The reduction in the loss after tax and cash loss compared to last year has been more than 45% and 70% respectively.

 

The performance could have been better but for the impact of uncontrollable factors like span of erratic supply of important raw materials during the year, unfavourable change in certain input prices, appreciation of INR against USD and escalating fuel cost. Beside there has been escalating finance cost due to rising interest rates.

 

The costs continued to remain under stringent monitoring and control. The company‘s efforts are directed towards improving processes, productivity and other operational parameters. All efforts are being made to reduce and control the overheads. Finance cost continued to remain high in view of increasing interest rate and liquidity crunch.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The company has been making several chemicals in different dedicated plants. Due to unhealthy price competition from China and the changing scenario in the world chemical market, the company is evaluating to add new products for better utilisation of the idle capacity without entailing new CAPEX. This will improve the top line as well as it will contribute towards the improvement in the overall performance due to economies of scale.

 

The company has good orders on hand. As more than 80% of the revenue is from export, the performance of the company mainly follows the Global economy trend. Major economies which are now on recovery and revival mode are expected to stabilise in 2011-12. With the stabilization, the companies are now revising their inventory norms from bare minimum to optimum levels which should provide good growth opportunities. Indian market is growing. The company will focus on increasing the local market share.

 

The company, barring unforeseen circumstances, expects improvement in turnover. The company will continue to focus on cost control at every level to improve the operation efficiency which alongwith the increased operating level and upward revision of product prices is expected to improve the margin.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY

 

The company engaged in manufacture of chemical intermediates, heavy organic chemicals and performance chemicals. Unhealthy competition from China and Indian unorganized sector continues to prevail in the industry. India emerged as one of the major source for chemical intermediates. The industry witnessed high degree of uncertainty and slows down following global economy pattern. The industry is dependent on the basic petro-chemicals, prices of which were highly volatile during the year.

 

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

 

The company is in the industry since last 37 years. It has a very high degree of operating synergy, economies of scale and high quality standards. The products of the company have diverse uses and applications in several industries ranging from paper, pharmaceutical, agro chemicals, thermal dyes, light stabilizer, aerospace dyes and dye intermediates etc. Besides, the company have loyal cliental base, which is well diversified over the World.

 

The major threat faced by the company are escalating raw material prices, crude oil prices, increasing interest rate and volatile foreign exchange market.

 

MARKET AND OUTLOOK

 

The company’s major market like Europe, Japan and USA are coming out of recession. Market conditions are improving with the revival of economies. The market remained highly price competitive. The costs were under stringent monitoring and control. The company has taken several initiatives like process improvement, lower consumption norms, use of cheaper alternate raw material and fuel. All efforts were made to reduce and control the overheads. Finance cost continued to remain high due to liquidity crunch consequent to repayment of term loan installments and operational performance. Gradual product price increase, improved operating efficiency and stringent control of overheads are expected to improve the overall performance.

 

Exports constitute more than 80% of the turn-over. Performance of the company hence mainly follows the Global economy trend. There is healthy order book position. Due to interruption in the smooth availability of raw material consequence to the liquidity crunch hampered continues production resulting in escalated production cost.

 

The rate of flow of orders is encouraging. Production facilities are realigned to meet the demand. The company barring unforeseen circumstances expects to further improve the turn-over and performance. The company continued to focus on cost control at every level to improve the operation efficiency which alongwith the increased operating level and upward revision of product prices is expected to improve the margin.

 

PERFORMANCE

 

The company’s major markets like Europe, Japan and USA. These economies are reviving with improvement in market condition. Unhealthy price competition of certain countries continued to affect the market conditions. Turnover of the company for the year rose to Rs.561.700 Millions as against Rs.363.200 Millions in the P.Y. registering increase of 54%.

 

Several initiatives and steps to increase the operating efficiencies, substitution of cheaper raw materials, control on the costs, alternative sourcing of the raw materials etc. are expected to contribute in improving the performance of the company in the current year.
