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.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

Financial Highlights

 

The financial year 2011-12 has seen the Company build upon the momentum that it had created since 2005­2006. The company achieved a gross operating turnover of Rs.3773.32 Million for the year ended 31 st March, 2012 as against " 2900.78 Million for the previous financial year registering an incremental turnover of Rs. 832.53 Million and recording a growth rate of 28.7% over the previous year. The EBIDTAat" 551.88 Million increased by 22% in comparision to the previous year. This rate of gross profit compares well with those of peers in the sector in which the Company operates. The profit after tax in the period under review increased by 31 % to" 341.67 Million as compared to" 260.25 Million in the previous year.

 

The net worth of the Company, which has been steadily increasing, stands at over" 1730 million as on 31stMarch,2012.

 

Sectoral Overview

The Company's capabilities to undertake turnkey EPC Services has been deployed across diverse sectors. Whereas over 90% of the Company's business traditionally accrued from the Power Sector, in recent years the Company has been successful in diversifying across other sectors. As a result the relative contribution of various sectors has seen a continuous churning. Whereas in the previous year, the Industrial sector had the highest contribution to the turnover (49%), the thermal power sector has, during the year, regained its position as the highest contributor to the Company's turnover, with the sector contributing around 33% of the total turnover. This was followed by the Industrial and the Oil and Gas Sectors. The Water and Waste Water infrastructure/treatment sector contributed about the same as in the previous year and is expected to significantly increase its contribution during 2012-2013.

 

Major customers during the year included HINDALCO, Fuel Trade, Ghana, National Thermal Power Corporation, Lanco and Wonji Showa sugar factory in Ethiopia.

 

Geographical Spread

The Company has strongly strived to secure and execute business in overseas markets particularly in Africa. During the year the Company continued to execute business secured in Ethiopia, Kenya, Fiji and Ghana. The geographical spread was further increased to cover Malawi, Mozambique and Bangladesh. Around one third of the Company's revenue came from overseas assignments.

 

Overseas Branch Offices

The company continued to operate overseas branch offices in Fiji, Ethiopia and Kenya with the permission of RBI to cater to the needs of overseas projects.

 

Fresh Business Secured

The company continued to put great emphasis on securing new business from existing as well as new customers and new geographies. As a result of sustained marketing efforts the Company secured new business aggregating over" 7500 Million, of which a substantial portion was from overseas. The quantum of fresh business secured during the year represents a 65% increase over the previous year. The largest share of orders were received from the Water sector followed by the Thermal Powersector.

 

At present the Company has outstanding proposals worth over" 40 billion. Several involve integrated BoP scope (as distinct from smaller individual BoP packages) where individual order sizes are much larger. The single largest outstanding bid is of the order of" 5 billion.

 

ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The previous year had seen a return of confidence as the effects of the international financial crisis began to wear out and global recovery commenced. This confidence has proved to be short lived. In the first half of the year itself, clear indications of growth slippages had become evident and, as the year progressed the outlook has turned distinctly gloomy. Not only has there been a continuous downwards trend in India's rate of economic growth, the short and medium term scenario in their country is not at all encouraging. Even though their countries developmental needs in the power, urban development and related infrastructure sectors, which directly concern them, are immense and there is no dearth of viable projects, several factors which are not in the control of project developers have resulted in many of these projects coming to a virtual standstill. The macro scenario is adversely impacted by many factors. The obvious contradiction between the requirements to control inflation on the one hand and loosening of monetary policy to spur resumption of a higher growth trajectory, is just one of the many significant issues that their country faces. The uncertainties on coal mining, increased difficulties in obtaining environmental clearances and land acquisition for power and industrial projects continues to have an adverse effect. Perhaps most importantly, the continuous high fiscal and balance of payments deficits have caused a severe denting of confidence apart from the steady erosion in the value of the rupee. A slowdown in enquiries and longer than normal gestation in converting enquiries to orders and orders to revenue is visible. While the Company's decent order book will hold them i n good stead, we cannot but help being concerned on the future .The Company's proven ability to target multiple sectors and geographies will hopefully help it tide overthese concerns.

The overseas markets continue to present a reasonably good promise and we have further increased their marketing efforts by going into new countries in Africa and closer home in Bangladesh. We are largely focused on developing countries where the basic demand on infrastructure and urban development remains very strong. To a great extent the projects the Company aims at, are not profit oriented or privately financed, being more likely to be the subject of developmental finance, whether governmental or from multilateral development banks/bodies, hence these are not so strongly impacted by market related issues.

 

Both domestically and in the overseas markets there are strong signs of increased competition which in turn has the potential of affecting margins.

 

While we are confident that the strategic initiatives undertaken by the Company will greatly help them cope with the present gloomy scene, the Company believes it will be realistic to prune growth expectations which may now be in the 20-25% range and to be ready to face a slight dip in margins due to pressures of competition in a slowing market.

 

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

Being in the Service sector, the Company's success has been founded on Customer satisfaction. Achieving Customer Satisfaction through Excellence in Project Management has been and will continue to remain the cornerstone of the Company's business philosophy. In recent years this has been accompanied by a strong initiative to diversify the market, both in terms of newer sectors and newer geographies. Initiatives aimed at enhancing business and improving their internal environment and processes are an ongoing feature. Briefly these include:

 

Focus on Improving Efficiency

 

Since inception the company has largely adhered to the mantra “Keep it Simple”. Notwithstanding the inherent complexities of their business and the environment in which we operate, we continue to have faith in and abide by this mantra. It is important however to make full use of the opportunities available by advances in IT to efficiently cope with the growth pangs that are an integral accompaniment to the rapid increase in their business volume. To this end the Company has greatly enhanced its in house IT capability and is well on the way to set up and utilize ERP systems.

 

Focus on HR

During the year employee strength crossed the 350 mark. The biggest challenges the Company faces are on the manpower front, in terms of attracting, retaining and providing appropriate training to its employees. The Company has been able to strengthen the entire gamut of HR functions from recruitment through training, performance related rewards, employee welfare, and enhancing overall employee satisfaction.

The Company has always prided itself on its relatively high employee retention which in turn is largely on account of the informal, achievement oriented, merit and loyalty rewarding work atmosphere that the Company provides.

 

The Company continues to retain a lean, non hierarchical structure with an effective but simple, no frills office culture.

 

Marketing Initiatives

The Company's recent rapid growth has been built around its core competence of providing turnkey electro mechanical EPC services. All recent diversification has been achieved around this core competence and no unrelated diversification is planned unless there is a strong strategic fit. The Company is able to serve virtually all infrastructure and industrial sectors and it is no longer dependent on the thermal power sector as was the case a few years ago. Simultaneously the Company has targeted the overseas market and as the result of the success of these endeavours, the Company has been able to grow in a profitable manner. Not only does this protect the Company from slowdowns in any particular sector, it also results in the Company's revenue mix and major customers changing from yearto year.

 

The Company intends to continue with this market diversification strategy. In fact the recent deterioration in the overall economic scene has made it imperative for them to redouble their marketing efforts as the strike rate is expected to go down.

 

Simultaneously the Company has been gravitating toward higher value jobs which is essential to sustain growth. This has made pre qualification issues ever more important and the Company is addressing this issue through suitable tie ups and partnerships.

 

The Company has created new specialized groups to secure jobs in specialized sectors like Water and Waste Water treatment/infrastructure and Oil and Gas apart from the previously established group for Electrical Distribution and Rural Electrification.

 

As before, the Company continues to look at the consolidated Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health services (MEP) Sector which is expected to provide opportunities sometimes in the near future.

 

Quality Upgradation

The Company secured ISO 9001 accredition in 2007. This was a first milestone towards continuous quality enhancement. The company is totally committed to a continuous ongoing initiative in this direction. Internal audits are carried out regularly. Recently their external auditors have conducted a rigorous audit and recertified their ISO 9001 accredition.

 

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

BUSINESSOVERVIEW

 

The Company, incorporated in the year 1971, provides EPC services on a complete turnkey basis across a number of industrial and infrastructure sectors. Over the years the Company has slowly and steadily forged ahead towards its vision of being a world class, globally versatile, medium sized EPC service provider, creating value for customers and stakeholders through excellence in Project Management.

 

In the last five years the Company has been able to achieve an average compound annual growth in turnover of over 45%. This growth has been accompanied by a healthy growth in profit.

 

This impressive growth has been achieved by a well planned business strategy, at the heart of which has been the Company's successful endeavour to diversify its customer base beyond the traditional domestic thermal power sector market. The Company now serves multiple sectors and geographies. This diversity is clearly evidenced by the following table showing sector wise contribution to the overall revenue in the last 5 years, as a percentage of total revenue.

This diversity and consequent growth has been achieved whilst remaining focussed on their core competence of turnkey project execution.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND OUTLOOK

 

One year ago the Company was cautiously optimistic. The optimism came from the opportunities provided in the domestic market on account of economic growth in general and spending on infrastructure sectors relevant to them in particular. The caution arose due to the incomplete global recovery from the crisis of 2008 and the various early warnings visible from the dark clouds on the domestic economic scene.

 

Today the optimism has considerably dimmed as the dark clouds that were already visible a year ago have had a pronounced negative impact. Their country's over 8% rate of growth has turned into a mirage. The problems besetting virtually all the sectors where their customers operate; in particular the thermal and nuclear power sectors and the industrial sector are well known and don't need repetition here.

 

What is of prime importance to their stakeholders is how well we are able to cope with these adverse conditions. While we do hope and pray that these conditions are like a passing storm that will blow over, we cannot be dependent on just their prayers. It is in coping with these conditions that their mettle will be tested to the full. The various business and strategic initiatives we have taken in recent years and which are dwelt upon in the Directors Report will, we are confident, help them cope. The record orders secured last year when the adverse conditions had clearly manifested themselves is the result of their efforts over the last few years to diversify their market beyond the traditional domestic thermal powersector. Their ongoing initiatives, particularly in the areas of computerisation and HR are expected to help them remain lean and control costs

 

As was mentioned last year, the water sector has the greatest long term potential due to pressure on scarce resources which can only be overcome by heavy investments in treatment, recycling and water infrastructure. Though the water sector has provided them some good business during the year, we continue to face problems in the water and waste water treatment sector due to qualification issues. Their strategy of having tie ups yielded its first success when the Company secured a prestigious order for a Demineralised Water Plant of fairly large capacity. The sector as a whole however continues to face financial hurdles arising out of structural factors. In particular their county's inability to price water at economical levels restricts project opportunities to industrial and JNURM funded projects at present.

 

Internationally, while we continue to see good opportunities particularly in Africa and South Asia, we see increased competitive pressures. We have developed a strong dedicated marketing team for International business, and have identified a few countries where we are focussing. Indian government's recent enhanced focus on Africa in terms of economic cooperation is an encouraging factor. Apart from Multilateral Agency funded projects we are identifying projects being funded by Indian government and Exim Bank for pursuing business opportunities. Their efforts have yielded satisfactory results during the year.
