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.

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

SUGAR DIVISION

 

The sugarcane crushing in 2011-12 has increased substantially (41%) over the previous year on account of adequate sugarcane planting in the command area of the factories and as a consequence to their sustained efforts in the Research & Development and cane extension activities. The average recovery of sugar was at 9.40% as against 8.98% in the previous year owing to quality of sugarcane crop and other favourable factors.

 

The Company produced 2.28 lakh tons of sugar as against 1.69 lakh tons in the previous year, registering a 35% increase. The Company sold 2.23 lakh tons (including exports) as against 1.82 lakh tons in the previous year.

 

 

COGENERATION DIVISION

 

The operations of cogeneration division across all the Units were satisfactory. The total power generated by the cogeneration division recorded a growth of 22%, largely owing to higher crushing and bagasse availability, coupled with better capacity utilisation. During the year , the total power generated by all their Units was 2,751 lakh units as against 2,258 lakh units. The company exported 1,877 lakh units as against 1,597 lakh units in the previous year. The Company has received 66,515 units of carbon credits during the year ended 31st March 2012 which has been accounts during the year.

 

 

DISTILLERY DIVISION

 

The distillery performance was satisfactory during the year. The Company produced 92.76 lakh litres of Alcohol in 2011-12 as against 60.88 lakh litres of Alcohol in the previous year and sold 95.41 lakh litres of alcohol against 58.68 lakh litres of alcohol in the previous year.

 

 

OPERATIONS OF SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

 

TRIDENT SUGARS LIMITED

 

Their wholly owned subsidiary Company, Trident Sugars Limited, has crushed 4.07 lakh tons of sugarcane during the financial year 2011-12 as against 3.97 lakh tons in the previous year. The company produced 42,897 tons of sugar and sold 47,168 tons of sugar during the financial year as against 41,385 tons of production and 44,879 tons of sales in the previous year.

 

 

RAJSHREE POWER PRIVATE LIMITED

 

There were no operations of the said subsidiary company during the year.

 

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

As per the forecast of Department of Agriculture as well as Indian Sugar Mills Association, there is an increase in planting of sugarcane and hence sugarcane crushing for the next season is expected to be higher than the current season. The Union Government's recent decision to allow sugar export without quantitative restrictions would facilitate clearing up of inventory as well as stabilizing the domestic sugar price at reasonable levels.

 

India has tremendous renewable energy potential and the demand for biomass based green power sector is likely to grow exponentially. Thus, with the increase in cane crushing & hence bagasse availability, their cogeneration can optimize power generation and contribute to their profitability.

 

Recently, Government of Tamilnadu has announced its participation in the ethanol blending programme thereby allowing resumption of ethanol production in sugar mills. The company with its new addition to production capacity sees a good potential in the ethanol production. By maintaining a proper product mix of alcohol for sale to potable, industrial & blending sector, the company would strive to derive the optimum realization.

 

Overall, with the outlook remaining positive, the company is committed to bettering the performance year after year and confident of improving the profitability.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY SCENARIO AND DEVELOPMENT

 

World Sugar Production for 2011-12 has reached record levels thanks to improving crop outlook for Brazil and a continued supply of exportable surplus sugar from Thailand and India.

 

The quarterly market outlook of February, 2012 published by International Sugar Organisation indicates that after two years of a large statistical deficit and one season of balanced sugar production and consumption, the world sugar economy has a global surplus which may rise beyond 6 million tons. Tentative projections suggest that the world sugar balance will continue to remain in surplus in 2012-13 also.

 

Raw sugar prices in New York in the last week of April 2012 plunged to 20.5 cents, hitting an 11-month low. White sugar is currently trading around $ 570 and raw sugar at 20.9 cents. Raw sugar prices are forecast at around 22 cents during the second quarter during the Brazilian centre south harvest and at around 24 cents at the end of 2012. White sugar is forecast at around $600 during the second quarter and around the same at the end of 2012. Weather patterns could alter this price forecast. Another major factor determining sugar prices during 2012 will be the price of ethanol and as a consequence the decisions by Brazilian mills to divert cane to ethanol production.

 

In India, as per Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) report, the sugar production upto the end of April, 2012 for the current sugar season is 251 lakh tons. This is almost 25 lakh tons more than the production upto the end of April, 2011 last year.

 

Most of the increase has been contributed by Uttar Pradesh, which has seen an increase of almost 11 lakh tons, Maharashtra where the increase is about 5 lakh tons, Karnataka where the increase is almost 3 lakh tons and Tamilnadu where the sugar production is more by almost 4 lakh tons as compared to last year. ISMA is absolutely certain that its earlier sugar production estimate of 260 lakh tons will be achieved. The balance lakh tons beyond the 251 lakh tons already produced would come largely from Tamilnadu which is expected to still produce about 6.5 lakh tons between May and September in the current season, Maharashtra (2 lakh tons) and Karnataka (1 lakh ton).

 

As per press release of the Department of Agriculture, sugarcane for the next sugar season has been planted in 44.12 lakh hectare as compared to 43.23 lakh hectare last year on the corresponding period, which is 2% higher. Therefore, ISMA is quite certain that production in ensuing season 2012-13 starting from 1st October will be higher than the domestic consumption and India will continue to export sugar third year in a row.

 

An intense industry lobby has evoked a positive response from the Government with permission for export of 2 million tons since the beginning of this year. Though this export was linked to production numbers of each sugar factory, regular exporting factories were able to capitalize the tradability of sugar export entitlement. The Government had also released an additional 1 million ton of export under this scheme but then on a national review, had thought fit to declare sugar export under Open General Licence (OGL) without quantitative restrictions, considering the comfortable position of domestic production and consumption.

 

The export of sugar helped in stabilizing the domestic price realization which hovered around Rs. 27,000/- per ton level throughout major part of the year 2011-12. Though international sugar prices have been depressed during the last quarter, the weakness of rupee has compensated the lower margins.

 

During the year, Government of Tamilnadu has hiked the SAP from Rs. 1,900/- per ton to Rs. 2,000/- per ton (linked to 9.5% recovery) plus a transport cost of Rs. 100/- per ton for the 2011-12 sugar season.

 

On the ethanol front, the outlook for global fuel ethanol production is forecast to rebound in 2012 after some sluggishness. Brazil and the USA will continue to be the main drivers. The ethanol programme in India has been sustained with the participation of the major sugar producing States. Tamilnadu had been kept out of the Ethanol supply programme due to focus of the State Government on ensuring availability of alcohol to the potable sector. Constant interaction by State Industry Associations with the Government has yielded positive results with the Government now being convinced that there is adequate molasses production and distillation capacity available in the State to ensure alcohol supply to both potable and ethanol sector. This ensures an alternative user for alcohol and will add to the profitability of the industry.
