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.

OPERATIONS

 

The company has successfully delivered 14 vessels during the financial year which has taken to the total sum to 152 vessels delivered so far by the Company.

 

The Company has posted a turnover of Rs.24328.600 Millions, an increase of about 16.82% as compared to Rs.20826.600 Millions in the previous Financial Year. The Company recorded a net profit ofRs.1802.900 Millions, for the financial year under consideration.

 

EBIDITA for the Financial Year2011-12stoodat Rs.6049.200 Millions with an increase of 19.69% as compared to Rs.5053.900 Millions in the previous Financial Year.

 

The Government of India had provided for a Shipbuilding Subsidy Scheme, for both export and domestic orders to all the Indian Shipyards, which was expired in August, 2007 and The Government had issued modified guidelines dated 25th March 2009, for liquidation of the liability for the payment of subsidy for ongoing eligible contracts entered upto 14th August 2007, by virtue of the same, the company has received an amount of Rs.160.800 Millions towards subsidy in the Financial Year 2011-12.

 

During the Financial Year 2011-12, the company has bagged a prestigious order of USD 101.14 Mio from Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) for construction of 6 Nos. of 63.4 meters Twin Screw Diesel Engine driven 2000DWT 80T Bollard Pull AHTS Vessels.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Economic Survey for 2012-13 estimated the Indian GDP at 7.6% for the financial year 2012-2013 as against a growth of 6.9% for the financial year 2011-2012. The Survey indicates that the Indian Economy is likely to get back on track from this fiscal year due to changes in interest rates, greater savings and capital formations.

 

Currently, majority of the new-build orders at Indian private shipyards are from foreign ship owners. Also, Indian private shipyards cater almost entirely to the commercial shipping segment. However, due to the shipping downturn as well as the global economic scenario, the future of the shipbuilding industry beyond 2012 seems uncertain. Even though shipyards globally had managed to run profitably till 2011, they started taking measures to cut costs in anticipation of a lull in business then after. In view of the looming crisis, these shipyards are on a hunt to find other avenues of demand for new ships.

 

Nearly 70% of new-builds in Indian commercial order book are export oriented. It reflects the notion that Indian fleet owners prefer acquiring ships from outside India. During the boom time, Indian shipyards benefited from spill over of orders from the overbooked foreign yards. But now, they will have to attract domestic ship owners as the world demand has slowed down.

 

There are a total of around 900 vessels under the Indian flag and almost all of them are Indian owned. The average age of the fleet is 24 years. Within the next 5 years -10 years, a large number of these ships will need to be replaced, and it is important that these shipbuilding orders go to Indian Shipyards.

 

The Government has been encouraging PPP (Public Private Partnership) in the ports sector to infuse funds, to induct latest technology and improved management practices, and above all for addition of capacity, 100% Foreign Direct investment under the automatic route is permitted for port development projects. 100% income tax exemption is also available for a period of ten years. The proposed investment during the next ten years is expected to be Rs.2.77 lakh cr. out of which Rs.1.09 lakh cr. for Major Ports and Rs.1.68 lakh cr. for non-major ports. The budgetary allocation, towards subsidy required for the development of Shipping Industry, for the year 2012-2013 is Rs.4000.000 Millions.

 

Regarding the perspective plan "Maritime Agenda 2020" prepared by the Shipping Ministry, the Agenda encompasses development of 12 major ports functioning under the Union Government and also the 176 notified non-major ports. The objective of the Agenda inter alia includes creation of port capacity of around 3200 million MT to handle the expected traffic of about 2500 million MT by 2020. The Government of India has given top priority to the modernization of ports through various expansion/upgradation projects for berths, construction of new berths/terminals, installation of new and modern equipment, upgradation/replacement through higher capacity of cargo handling equipment's, mechanization of cargo handling operations, deepening of channels/berths etc. along with schemes for quicker evacuation of cargo through road and rail connectivity. Under National Maritime Development Programme (NMDP), 276 projects have been identified for mechanization and 69 have been completed.

 

The Indian Navy could be the saviour of the Indian shipbuilding industry. In the interest of national security, before private participation was invited, the naval orders were usually awarded to domestic public sector shipyards. The Public Sector shipyards were allowed to make joint ventures with private sector shipyard to cater the requirements of Indian Navy, which are highly attractive because of long delivery time allowed, absorption of price increase due to cost overruns by the Government besides very little chance of an order being cancelled. However, a private shipyard needs to obtain a license to build naval ships, for which it needs to satisfy technical requirements. Amongst very few other shipyards, the Company has obtained this license and successfully entered into the segment. With the Government of India's aim to make Indian Navy as "Blue Water Navy" by 2020 coupled with substantial estimated allocation/expenditure in this sector, the potential in the shipbuilding sector seems enormous.

 

The current commercial shipbuilding order book of Indian shipyards values at Rs.280 billion till 2012, which translates into approximately Rs.70 billion per year. Riding on the assumption that the Indian Navy will be spending Rs.950 billion, starting in 2013 up to 2030, the Indian shipping industry would see an annual spending ofRs.53 billion per year. However, the defence segment alone cannot help sustain the current performance of Indian shipyards. Hence, another alternative needs to be considered is Shipbuilding for offshore sector

 

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

According to CARE Research on Impact of Union Budget 2012-13, the Indian shipbuilders occupied 6th rank in the list of order book by the builder country as on February 29, 2012 accounting for 1.36% of the global order book (in CGT). Correspondingly, the order book of Indian shipbuilders aggregated 3.01 mn DWT with 168 vessels on order as on February 29, 2012. The Indian shipbuilders specialise in the construction of offshore vessels. However, the size of the dry bulk vessels as against the offshore vessels in terms of carrying capacity (i.e. DWT) being high, the former vessel category constituted approximately 87.5% of the Indian order book on the said date. In terms of the number of vessels on order, the Offshore and Specialised vessels accounted for 38.7% of the total order book as on February 29,2012.

 

The vessels constructed by the shipyards can be broadly classified into: wet bulk, dry bulk, containerships, offshore and specialised vessels. The shipbuilding industry is highly co-related with the developments in the global shipping industry therefore any slowdown in the shipping industry adversely affects the prospects of the shipbuilding industry.

 

According to the study "Shipbuilding Industry in India: An overview", by the Associated Chambers of Commerce (ASSOCHAM), the Global Shipbuilding and Ship repair Industry is worth approximately Rs.7.3 lakh crore and it is growing at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 24 per cent and is likely to reach Rs.14 lakh  crore by 2015 owing to rising global sea borne trade. Against this, the Indian Shipbuilding and Ship repair Industry is growing at a CAGR of about 8 percent and is likely to reach Rs.92000.000 Millions from the current level of just over Rs.73100.000 Millions.

ABG SHIPYARD LIMITED

 

ABG Shipyard Limited has informed the Exchange that the Company Secretary, Mr. Ch. Rajashekhar Reddy has resigned from the services of the Company and have been relieved from the services of the Company after the office hours on February 19, 2013.

 

HALDIA NOT ABG'S ONLY SORE POINT

 

TATA Hiring - April 2013

 

Haldia Bulk Terminal is not the only project ABG has exited in recent times. Earlier this month, the company had terminated its contract with the Kandla Port Trust. It had also washed its hands off the fourth container terminal at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), despite making a winning bid, with Port of Singapore Authority (PSA) as the lead partner.

 

Seemingly undeterred by these developments, ABG Ports has firmed up expansion plans worth Rs 1,3000.000 Millions. These include four projects in Visahkapatnam and Tuticorin. For three of these projects, the company has partnered French company Louis Dreyfus. ABG is also bidding for port projects in Bangladesh and West Asia, as well as projects in various domestic ports, including a car terminal in Chennai. Unlike its rivals Pipavav and Adani, currently, ABG has no plan to invest in any non-major port (state government-controlled).

Port authorities are, however, wary of signing contracts with the company. A senior JNPT official said, “Because of ABG, we had to delay awarding the fourth container terminal by two months. We were not sure of their credibility, but since the request for qualification was accepted, we could not have gone back on it half-way.”

 

To win the bid, a PSA-led consortium had offered a revenue share of about 50 per cent. Industry sources said later, ABG wanted to pull out of the project, owing to financial constraints. But as the law ministry didn’t allow ABG to withdraw from the consortium, the bid was scrapped. “PSA was the lead member for the fourth container terminal; ABG had no role to play. As a consortium member, theirrelationship with PSA has always been specific to each project and on a case-to-case basis,” said Saket Agarwal, director, ABG.

 

In the case of the Kandla container terminal operated by ABG and PSA, port authorities say the termination notice was first given by the Kandla port to ABG. “ABG later gave us a counter notice. They had not completed the development work and, therefore, violated the agreement,” said P D Vaghela, chairman, Kandla Port. ABG, however, blames the port. “The apathy on the part of Kandla Port to dredge the navigational channel and provide committed draft has led to diversion of container vessels to Mundra Port, which has deep draft,” Agarwal said.

 

The company, which is struggling to get its equipment worth Rs.1400.000 Millions from Haldia port after its exit there, says, “The failure of Kolkata Port Trust in allocating adequate cargo and ensuring a safe working environment are the main reasons for theirexit.”

ABG SHIPYARD PLANS RS.7,0000.000 MILLIONS INVESTMENT IN GUJARAT

 

PTI: Ahmedabad, Jan 11 2013, 17:45 IST

 

Country's largest private shipbuilder ABG Shipyard today said it plans to invest Rs.7,0000.000 Millions in Gujarat for setting up a new facility as well as augmenting capacity at two existing units in the state.

 

"ABG Shipyard announced its intention to build a greenfield shipyard in three phases along the Gujarat coastline with an estimated investment of Rs 5,0000.000 Millions," the company said in a statement.

 

This will be ABG Shipayard's third facility at Gujarat and is likely to generate employment for about 4,500 people, it said.

 

Apart from the proposed investment, ABG Shipyard has also planned to expand its facilities at Dahej and Magdalla in three phases, with an estimated investment of Rs 2,0000.000 Millions, the shipbuilder said.

"The company has submitted its proposal to the state government during the on-going Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors Summit 2013," the company said.

 

The company's existing Magdalla shipyard at Surat is a world-class manufacturing facility with amenities like a Ship-lift with a lift capacity of 4,500 tonnes, side transfer facilities, Hydraulic press and Steel processing machinery.

 

The second state-of-the-art facility at Dahej is one of the largest and most modern Shipyards in India with a capacity to build ships upto approx 300 metres in length and 120,000 DWT (Deadweight Tonnage).

 

DWT is a measure of how much weight a ship is carrying or can safely carry.

 

On April 18, 2011, ABG launched a 32,000 DWT bulk carrier from the Dahej facility.

 

ABG Shipyard is the flagship company of the ABG Group and has so far built and delivered more than 160 ships, of different complexities, for domestic and international customers, and enjoys 61st rank among shipyards globally.

 

Its client base extends to Europe, South East Asia and the Middle East, with over 90 per cent of its existing Order Book comprising export orders.

 

 

ABG SHIPYARD WINS ORDERS WORTH RS 485 CR FROM INDIAN NAVY

Dec 12, 2012

 

Mumbai: Private sector ship-builder ABG Shipyard today said it has bagged a Rs.4850.000 Millions order to build a cadet training vessel for the Navy.

 

The order from the Defence Ministry to build the 110-meter vessel capable of carrying a light helicopter and achieving a top speed of 20 knots, is a repeat one, the company said in a statement issued here.

 

“The vessel will be used to provide basic training to the Naval cadets and trainees in activities such as disaster relief, search and rescue operations, the company said in a statement.

 

Ship-builders are shifting focus for catering to the requirement of the Navy, as the demand for commercial liners is dipping due to a supply glut.

 

The market lapped up the development and the ABG stocks jumped nearly 5 percent to Rs.386 on the BSE, whose Sensex was trading up 70 points at 1100 hrs. The company has a market capitalisation of Rs.1,9647.400 Millions as of today.

 

 

ICG GETS 2 MORE POLLUTION CONTROL VESSELS

 

13 February 2012

 

On Board ICGS Sankalp: Indian Coast Guard (ICG) is all set to augment its pollution control response in the sea by inducting two more pollution control response vessels. ICG presently has ICGS Samudra Prahari (Ocean Guard), its first vessel dedicated to control pollution built by ABG Shipyard, Surat.

 

The vessel is 94 meters in length with a displacement of 3,300 tonnes and maximum draught of 4.5 meters. It was launched on March 20, 2007.ICG is the nodal agency for pollution control in the sea, according to Commander Rajmani Sharma, Coast Guard HQ Karnataka. "ICGS Samudra Prahari is the only vessel of its kind in Asia and addition of two similar pollution control vessels will help India tackle any instance of pollution in its exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The state-of-the-art and user-friendly equipments on board will be used for containment, recovery, separation and dispersal of pollutants," Sharma added.

 

In a chat with STOI during a day out in the sea organized by ICG for civilians on board its Mumbai based advanced offshore patrol vessel, Commander Sharma said, "The responsibilities of ICG too will increase with plans afoot to raise the boundaries of India's EEZ from the present 200 nautical miles to 350 miles from the shore. USA has already extended the limits of its EEZ boundaries and India will follow the suit."

 

ICG, which is responsible for looking after maritime interests all along the 320-km long coastline of Karnataka, will add more muscle to it with induction of two hovercrafts - amphibious vessels - imported from the UK by 2013. "The land for construction of hoverports, hangars, and maintenance facilities has been identified in Tannirbhavi near here," he said adding that the hovercrafts are capable of achieving speeds of 35-40 knots.

 

The hover port here would make it the second along the west coast of India, he said, adding that other hoverports are functioning in Okha in Gujarat, and Haldia in West Bengal, and Mandappam in Tamil Nadu. "Plans are also afoot to set up one more hover port in either Paradip or Vishakapatnam on the east coast to augment country's maritime surveillance capabilities along shallow waters where bigger ICG vessels can't reach," he added.

 

CIVILIANS GET A TASTE OF COAST GUARD ACTION

 

On Board ICGS Sankalp: Indian Coast Guard put its best foot forward in a day out in the sea organized by it off Mangalore coast on Saturday. Intended to give the civilians a slice of the action as it unfolds on the high seas, the event saw Indian Coast Guard (ICG) offshore patrol vessels - Annie Besant and Kasturba Gandhi -- joining the advanced offshore patrol vessel Sankalp and a Chetak and a dornier from its aviation wing in various exercises.

 

First it was the turn of 'terrorists' trying to sneak into the country using a fishing vessel to first face the ire of Coast Guard commandoes. A fast motor speed boat launched from Sankalp and two motor boats launched from Annie Besant and Kasturba Gandhi intercepted the fishing vessel, boarded it mid-sea and neutralised the threat on board. 'Terrorists' gave up without much of a fight given the vast fire power on board Sankalp bearing down on them.

 

Then, it was then the turn of Chetak helicopter to draw the oohs and the aahs from the civilians with its high speed fly past Sankalp. The helobatics included dropping a mail bag that contained 'chocolates' for children on board the three vessels, much to their delight. The precision search and rescue operation on the starboard side of the vessel which saw the Chetak winch up a diver who had fallen into the sea drew thunderous applause from all on board.

 

The fly past by the Chetak and the Dornier aircraft specially flown in for the exercise only added to the excitement. Sankalp also gave a demonstration of the capabilities of its heavy machine gun which is capable of reaching targets 2.5 miles from the ship.

 

The only disappointment for the visitors was a decision not to fire the Karl Gustav rocket launcher as many smaller fishing vessels were found to be in its effective kill range of 500 metres. A display of fire fighting capabilities of Sankalp using powerful water jets brought down the curtains on the programme before the vessels headed back to New Mangalore Port from where they had cast off three hours ago.

 

Deputy inspector general NV Narasimha, commanding officer of ICGS Sankalp told STOI that professionally he was satisfied with the operations mounted for the day given the time and logistical constraints involved.
