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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The economy of India is the eleventh largest in the world by nominal GDP and the third largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). The country is one of the G-20 major economies and a member of BRICS.

 

Various domestic and global factors contributed towards a moderation of Indian economic growth to 6.9% in April-December 2011 from an average of 8.4% from 2009 to 2011. Further slowdown in economic growth in 2012-13 has forecast GDP rates dipping to circa 5.0 to 5.5% reflecting an era of global economic uncertainty. Worst affected is inward investment, which underwent a mild 0.2% contraction in April-December 2011 in year-on-year terms, relative to a growth of 8.9% in the same months of 2010, reflecting a dampening of business sentiments and the 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 an increase in interest rates to dampen high inflation and a slowdown in decision-making in various crucial areas like allocation of natural resource blocks. At the same time, while fiscal policy remains expansionary, higher outgo towards items of non-plan 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.

 

India’s interest rate cycle has peaked with moderation in headline inflation, even though concerns pertaining to commodity prices remain. The balance of growth inflation indicators and the guidance provided by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in the Third Quarter Review of Monetary Policy suggest reconfirmation that the interest rate cycle has peaked. However, inflation is unlikely to moderate substantially in H1, 2012-13 on account of the anticipated revision of domestic prices of various fuel items, electricity and coal. At the same time, the price of crude oil has risen sharply in the recent months, and the possibility of further spikes cannot be ruled out in case the ongoing geo-political tensions escalate. This would fuel inflationary pressures considerably, widen India’s current account deficit and may prompt further depreciation of the Indian rupee. At present, the Indian rupee is around 12% cheaper relative to the US dollar as compared to the levels a year ago, providing exporters with a competitive advantage.

 

All this can be viewed against the backdrop of a bleak outlook for the Advanced Economies, several of which are likely to display low growth in 2012-13 following fiscal tightening to be undertaken to reduce the mounting sovereign debt levels. Furthermore, developments in the Advanced Economies would determine global liquidity conditions, risk aversion and business confidence, all of which may critically impact the level of financial flows into

India as well as the level of the Indian rupee relative to other major currencies, both of which have undergone considerable volatility over the course of 2012-13.

 

Attracting larger foreign direct investment (FDI) into various sectors in India has also assumed great importance, not only for the beneficial impact in terms of productivity gains, but also to finance the widening current account deficit (CAD). As witnessed to an extent in the recent quarters, India remains vulnerable to sudden outflows of foreign institutional investors’ (FII) funds as well as drying up of inflows of external commercial borrowings, the magnitude of which are heavily influenced by global trends for risk aversion and liquidity conditions.

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

The Retail industry is one of the pillars of the modern Indian economy and accounts for 14-15% of its GDP. The Indian retail market is estimated to be US$ 450 Billion and one of the top five retail markets in the world by economic value. India is one of the fastest growing retail markets in the world, with a population of 1.2 Billion people.

 

India's traditional retailing industry essentially consists of the local mom and pop stores, owner manned general stores, convenience stores, hand cart and pavement vendors, etc. Contemporary Organised retail accounts for about 5% of the market as of 2011-12. According to industry experts, the next phase of growth is expected to come from Tier 2 and 3 cities and the rural markets. The organised retail segment in India is forecast to grow by over three times during the next five years (from 2011), to reach a figure of US$ 80 Billion (as per consultancy firm, Technopak). Also, India’s consumption level will double within five years to an annual figure of US$ 1.5 trillion from the present level of about US$ 750 Billion.

 

FDI POLICY INITIATIVES

 

100 per cent FDI is permitted under the automatic route for trading companies in the cash and carry trading and wholesale trading sector. FDI up to 51 per cent under the Government route is allowed in the retail trade of Single

Brand products, according to the Consolidated FDI Policy document. Permitting FDI in Multi Brand retail is being contemplated by the government and is expected to pass into law in the near future. This is potentially a major fillip to investment and growth of modern retailing in India

 

INDIA’S TEXTILE AND FASHION INDUSTRY

 

India’s Textile Industry is one of the leading textile industries in the world. Though it was predominantly an unorganized industry until 20 years ago, the scenario started changing after the economic liberalization of Indian economy in 1991. The opening up of the economy gave the much-needed thrust to the Indian textile industry, which has now successfully become one of the largest in the world.

 

India’s textile industry largely depends upon textile manufacturing and export. It also plays a major role in the economy of the country. India earns about 27% of its total foreign exchange through textile exports. Further, the textile industry of India contributes nearly 14% of the total industrial production of the country. It also contributes around 3% to India’s GDP. The textile industry is also one of the largest in the country in terms of employment generation. It not only generates jobs in its own industry, but also opens up scope for other ancillary sectors. The Indian textile industry currently provides employment to more than 35 Million people. As stated in late January, by Ministry of Textiles, the transformation of the textile industry from a degrading to a rapidly developing industry, has become the biggest achievement of the Central Government.

 

In the high end fashion segment, the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry (ASSOCHAM), the highest body of the Chambers of Commerce of India, has estimated that the country’s fashion design industry is expected to touch Rs. 7.50 Billion ($187.5 Million) by 2012, from the present estimated level of less than Rs. 2.90 Billion ($72.5 Million).

 

Further, the luxury brand market in the country is estimated to be worth about US$ 4 to 4.5 Billion and is expanding rapidly driven by the growing aspirations of youth and income levels in the country. Thus, major international brands are in the process of expanding their retail presence. For instance, Paul and Shark now has two stores and will have few more by next year, Zegna, another Italian brand, known for its formal wear and quality suits, is also expanding and Diesel is expected to have seven stores in the country by end 2012.
