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.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

During the year the Company has incurred a net Loss of Rs. 583.546 Millions as against net loss of Rs.1015.720 Millions during previous year 2010-11, the gross turnover of the Company including other income stood at Rs.5093.923 Millions as against Rs. 4228.388 Millions in fiscal 2010-11.

 

The Company is still facing challenging business environment. The performance during FY12 is however broadly in line with the projections made under approved CDR package.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The company is facing a difficult business environment. Market conditions are expected to improve gradually in future. The company is one of the major players in the Indian cable industry and caters to the cabling requirements of three major sectors namely Power, Railways and Telecom. The company expects growth in all these sectors.

 

The company is focusing upon business segments which may give better price realization. The economic climate seems to have already reached its lowest stage and there is considerable hope of improvement in the coming years. As soon as investment in Power and Industrial sector picks up, the demand for cables should again become buoyant. They also are an established player in the Optical Fiber telecom cables segment which is expected to enter into a demand boom period by the end of current fiscal due to the recent Government decision to form the NOFA- National Optical Fiber Authority which plans to provide OF connectivity up-to taluka and village levels all over the country within the next 3 years. The demand for cables from Railways has also started showing an uptrend after nearly 3 years of slackness in the signaling network maintenance.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OVERVIEW AND PROSPECTS

 

The world economy is on the brink of another recession and major down turn after the anaemic and uneven recovery from the global financial crisis. Output growth has already slowed considerably during 2011, especially in the developed countries.

 

Developing countries are expected to be further affected by the economic woes of developed countries through trade and financial channels. Among the major developing countries, China's and India's GDP growth is expected to remain robust, but to decelerate. In China, growth slowed from 10.4 % in 2010 to 9.3 % in 2011 and is projected to slow further to below 9 % in 2012- 13. India's economy is expected to expand by between 7.7% and 7.9% in 2012-13, down from 9 % in 2010.

 

European sovereign debt crisis led the volatility in the macro environment. There is a divergence of economic conditions across global regions, as well as a divergence of recovery within some regions. While global economic conditions are more stable than in the depths of the European sovereign debts crisis late last year, underlying economic conditions are still fragile and fluid in many parts of the world

 

THE INDIAN PERSPECTIVE

Various domestic and global factors contributed towards a moderation of Indian economic growth to 6.9% in 2011-12 from 8.4% in 2010-11, reflecting a dampening of business sentiments and pace of execution of various projects. Uncertainty about demand conditions given the global outlook and its likely contagion effect, regulatory issues including environmental clearances and land acquisition as well as sector specific factors like availability of coal and iron ore have impacted investments. Other contributory factors included increases in interest rates aimed at dampening the inflation and a slowdown in decision-making in various crucial areas like allocation of coal blocks. At the same time, while fiscal policy remains expansionary, higher outgo toward items of nonplan revenue expenditure such as subsidies, limited the fiscal space available for boosting infrastructure spending by the public sector. Investment growth is likely to remain sluggish in 2012-13 as well, unless policy issues are addressed and there is a substantial pick up in the pace of implementation of big ticket economic reforms.

 

Managing growth and price stability are the major challenges of macroeconomic policymaking. In 2011-12, India found itself at the heart of these conflicting demands. The Indian economy is grew by 6.9 per cent in 2011-12, after having grown at the rate of 8.4 per cent in each of the two preceding years.

 

Inflation was high during most of the current fiscal year, though by the year's end there was a clear slowdown. Monetary policy was tightened by the Reserve Bank of India during the year to control inflation and curb inflationary expectations. Reflecting the weak manufacturing activity and rising cost, revenues of the centre have remained less than anticipated and, with higher than budgeted expenditure outgo, a slippage is expected on the fiscal side.

 

However, for the Indian economy, the outlook for growth and price stability at this juncture looks more promising. There are signs from some high frequency indicators that the weakness in economic activity has bottomed out and a gradual upswing is imminent.

 

 

EXPORTS

During the year, the Company's export business in foreign currency was Rs. 229.600 Millions as compared to Rs. 627.300 Millions during previous year. The lower exports are attributable to the global economic meltdown, recession and on account of poor economic conditions in U K market. The company targets substantial growth in export business catering to worldwide export markets through its subsidiaries AEI Cables Limited and AEI Power Cables Limited, United Kingdom.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

The Company achieved gross sales turnover of Rs. 5077.200 Millions for the year ended 31st March, 2012 as compared to Rs. 4158.000 Millions during the previous year. The Company has incurred a net Loss of Rs. 583.500 Millions as against net loss of Rs. 101.57crore during previous year. The Company suffered losses on account of adverse market conditions resulted in significant reduction in demand for cables and the excess capacity situation resulted in an intensive price war among the cable manufacturer and due to foreign exchange fluctuations.

 

Total financial charges during the year have increased to Rs. 393.500 Millions from Rs. 380.000 Millions in value and overall financial charges burden in terms of percentage to total turnover is 7.75% as against 9.14% during the previous year.

 

The Company achieved consolidated gross sales turnover of Rs. 7468.500 Millions and net loss of Rs. 504.600 Millions for the year ended 31st March, 2012 as compared to Rs. 7419.500 Millions and net loss of Rs. 1199.200 Millions respectively during the previous year.
