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 2011-2012

 

GLOBAL ECONOMIC CONDITION

 

The world economy continues to face challenges on the road to sustained recovery. Advanced Economies that seemed to be shaping well at the start of 2011 lost steam towards the fag-end of the year and this uncertainty is clouding the prospects for global growth during 2012. The growth momentum was impacted as the protracted debt crisis in the euro area and fiscal fragilities dampened business and consumer confidence.

 

The economic crisis and its ramifications have accelerated the shift of economic power from the developed to the emerging nations and exposed a fragile world with limited capacity to respond to systemic risks. The consequence has been volatile and low growth which is likely to stay for sometime to come.

 

Near term, the growth prospects for 2012-2013 remain uncertain, with growth petering out in the euro area and moderating in the emerging markets, while a better-thanexpected recovery is shaping up in the US. The baseline scenario suggests that global growth may continue to below in 2012, with a recession in the euro area as the region makes the much needed fiscal adjustment. Meanwhile, the resource rich Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has been facing significant internal challenges and geopolitical risks. In addition, there is the risk of large potential spillovers to the region from Europe.

 

The year 2011-2012 was abetted by the continuing global volatility and challenges. These uncertainties led to widespread risk aversion and adversely affected capital flows to new projects. The competition for limited opportunities, led to socio-political tensions, increasing protectionism, reassessment of regulation and more importantly, heightened competition for scarce natural resources.

 

 

OVERVIEW OF INDIAN ECONOMY

 

After a rebound in growth in 2010-2011, the Indian economy slowed down to 6.5% in fiscal 2011-2012. This was the lowest annual growth in the last 9 years and was sub-par in comparison to not just the pre-crisis years up to 2008 but also compared to immediate post crisis period.

 

With increasing global integration, the Indian economy was impacted by global uncertainties, while at the same time faced significant domestic challenges of persistent and high inflation, tight monetary conditions, low investment and delays in policy making.

 

The slowdown in 2011-12 was seen in all the major sectors of the economy as compared with the previous year. The Services sector grew by 8.9%, Industry by 3.4% and Agriculture by 2.8% as compared with 9.3%, 7.2% and 7% respectively in 2010-2011. Industrial growth remained subdued due to supply-side bottlenecks, particularly in the mining sector, and moderation in investment demand. The most dismal picture has been presented by capital goods segment which has been in a negative territory during the fiscal. Significantly, slowdown was witnessed in capacity addition as defined by capital formation which decelerated to 5.5% in 2011-2012 as against 7.5% achieved in 2010-2011.

 

 

BUSINESS SCENARIO:

 

Core sectors in the country which are of key importance to the businesses of the Company, in particular, Power, Transportation Infrastructure, Hydrocarbon, Fertiliser, Defence, faced multiple challenges due to policy delays. Consequently the commitments on capital expenditure and fresh investments were deferred, impacting the growth in the order inflow of the Company during 2011-2012.

 

Delays in obtaining various clearances and approvals staggered progress on a few ongoing projects in power, power transmission, roads and railways segment. Product businesses of the Company witnessed sluggish industrial demand and recorded moderate sales during 2011-2012.

 

Despite the prevailing economic uncertainties, the year 2012-2013 holds prospects of gradual build-up in the growth momentum of the Indian economy. Infrastructure development assumes prominence in the Government’s budget proposals for the year 2012-2013. Apart from Power and Transportation Infrastructure, the emphasis will be on strengthening certain other sectors such as Fertiliser, Oil and Gas Pipelines, Irrigation, and Rural Market Network with increase in the budgeted allocation of resources for funding growth in these sectors.

 

In the long-term, India continues to offer considerable opportunities aided by its favourable demographic profile. Its large consumer market has attracted global companies, many of whom have made India their manufacturing hub. However, in order to harness this potential and achieve sustainable growth, the country needs to push forward critical reforms and build innovative public-private partnerships to deliver rapid and inclusive growth as also provide an enabling environment for upgrading infrastructure.

 

Besides policy reforms, better governance, delivery systems and stronger implementation, the leaders from the government, industry and society need to collaborate to improve the education system, invest in much needed infrastructure, increase the agricultural productivity and ensure an equitable distribution of opportunities for achieving an inclusive and sustainable growth.

 

With some signs of stability returning in the MENA region and crude prices sustaining at remunerative levels, infrastructure development and capacity expansion in Oil and Gas sector is expected to attract fresh investments in the Middle East which augur well for the businesses of the Company.

 

 

CAPACITY AUGMENTATION AND PRODUCTIVITY GAINS:

 

With an eye on capacity augmentation, the Company has undertaken in 2011-2012 capital expenditure mainly to acquire various plant and equipment for the businesses in Engineering and Construction segment and for expansion of the Modular Fabrication Yard at Kattupalli, Tamilnadu. The manufacturing facilities at Vadodara and

Ahmednagar for the Electrical and Electronics business segment are being augmented to reap benefits of low cost locations.

 

The Company has made significant investments in the past few years in expanding the fabrication and manufacturing facilities for its various businesses. While these new capacities will enhance the competitive edge of the Company, the returns on these investments are expected only over a longer term. The businesses are focusing on increasing capacity utilization and enhancing productivity in order to improve returns on these investments.

 

 

NEW BUSINESS STRUCTURE AND STRATEGIC PLAN:

 

The Independent Companies (ICs) structure has been institutionalized in LandT Group for empowering businesses for scaling up performance. A mid-term review of the Strategic Plan 2015 was carried out and requisite course corrections have been incorporated in the newly adopted Lakshya 2016 plan. With improved organizational structure and strategic direction, the businesses are enabled to harness opportunities and tackle challenges. The Strategic Plan will aid the Company to take initiatives for growing remunerative businesses. The Strategic Plan is also expected to facilitate organizational and business portfolio restructuring for increased value creation in the medium term.

 

 

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT:

 

Talent management, leadership development and succession planning are the major focus areas for the Company. The individual business units have been focusing on acquiring and retaining the talent with requisite competencies. Specific high impact programmes are being conducted for leadership development. The Company

has invested in setting up various in-house training and development centers. LandT-Project Management Institute in Baroda is accredited by PMI of USA. The Company runs Construction Skill Training Institutes (CSTI) in association with the Ministry of Rural Development, GOI and some of the State Governments at 7 locations across India for imparting vocational training to rural youth on skills such as masonry, carpentry, plumbing etc.

 

With identified key strategic initiatives, large order book and the proven track record, the Company is well positioned to chart out its course on the growth trajectory and create value for all its stakeholders in the medium term. It is in this background that the Company’s ICs, Subsidiary and Associate Companies present their operations review for the year 2011-2012 as under:

Major jobs completed during the year include commissioning of hydrogen generation unit of GGSR at Bhatinda and mechanical completion of diesel hydrotreating unit and hydrogen generation unit of MRPL at Mangalore. Reactor regenerator package for IOCL-Paradip is also under advanced stage of execution.

 

 

HYDROCARBON CONSTRUCTION AND PIPELINES (HCP)

 

Hydrocarbon Construction and Pipelines SBG undertakes turnkey construction of refinery, petrochemicals, chemical plants, fertilizers, gas gathering stations, crude oil and gas terminals, underground cavern storage system for LPG covering civil, structural, piping, equipment and heavy lift works. It also undertakes cross-country pipelines on lumpsum turnkey (LSTK) basis.

 

Major capabilities include engineering design centers, heavy lift competency and quality adherence. SBG has put

in focused efforts to set higher benchmarks in Health Safety Environment Culture. The SBG has a joint venture with Gulf Interstate Engineering of USA to provide world class engineering for cross-country pipelines. LandT’s capability to meet the global standards in pipeline construction on EPC mode has been proven in Cairn’s Barmer Salaya pipeline project which is the world’s longest heated and PUF insulated waxy crude pipeline.

 

To cater to GCC opportunities, the SBG has well established at Sharjah and Al Khobar supported by plant and machinery a fleet of key construction equipment, including all-terrain cranes, entire range of pipeline spreads and earthmoving equipment. In order to service the clients in the MENA region more effectively, the SBG has entered into joint venture with reputed local partners in Oman, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Hydrocarbon IC is targeting select opportunities in other international geographies such as - South East Asia, Australia, Africa and CIS countries and key regional business development personnel have been appointed in those regions.

 

The SBG has executed various projects for key clients such as SABIC (Saudi Arabia), KOC (Kuwait), KAFCO (Kuwait) ADNOC, ENOC, Qatar Petroleum, Oiltanking Odfjell Terminals and Co. (Oman) and Saudi Aramco directly as well as through other EPC contractors.

 

During the year, SBG achieved major milestone by bagging a 52” X 123 km pipeline contract on EPC basis from GASCO in UAE and breakthrough order in Saudi Arabia for CMIE construction work of poly ethylene plant from Sadara Chemicals (a 50:50 JV of Saudi Aramco and Dow Chemical Company).

 

 

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

 

Domestic Market is becoming increasingly competitive with new players trying to establish themselves through aggressive bidding as also established international players quoting on marginal cost basis to utilize their idle capacities.

 

In order to achieve sustainable growth going forward, IC has embarked on cost reduction and value engineering initiatives and diversification into new geographies. Hydrocarbon IC is also focusing on modular process plant opportunities including onshore LNG modules for international markets.

 

During the year, a few orders, mainly domestic, got deferred due to lack of clear policies on fertilisers, fuel pricing and weaker financial condition of oil marketing PSUs. Internationally, select GCC countries saw some sluggishness namely Qatar due to gas moratorium and Kuwait due to political reasons. On the contrary, UAE and

Saudi are seen to be active on new project announcements.

 

Successful execution of jobs bagged during the year from some prestigious international client like ADMA OPCO,

PDO, PTTEP, GASCO and SADARA Chemical, would lead to potential of repetitive orders.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Oil prices are steady at elevated level and have upward bias in near term given the political tensions between USA and Iran. The IC foresees business momentum building up particularly in Saudi Arabia and UAE markets in 2012-2013.

 

Major triggers in domestic markets would be clarity on gas pricing and availability which will facilitate award of fertilizer projects and expected impetus to cross country pipeline projects. Good business opportunities are also seen in upcoming onshore gas processing projects.

 

On the international front, the IC is confident of securing a few large size orders from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, South East Asia region aided by business development initiatives undertaken by the IC and good business prospects in these select markets.

OUTLOOK

 

Indian Government’s consistent support to bridge the demand supply gap in water segment coupled with the interest shown by water bodies towards water management contracts, offer promising growth prospects for the water segment in India. With increased pollution monitoring by regulators and almost 79% of waste water generated not been collected, the highly inadequate waste water segment will see large investments in the coming years.

 

Water Technology BU which will concentrate on the Middle East markets predominantly has seen very favourable

prospects in Desalination and Reuse in Oman and KSA. Industries in these countries are going for Reuse projects to meet water demand. The BU is building up on its technology tie-ups, which is seen to be the main differentiator among the competitors.

 

With further ease in external sources of financing, prices of solar panels stabilizing, grid parity to be achieved by

2014-2015, the solar segment appears promising. With the Indian government already having unveiled the National Solar Mission to target of 20,000 MW of solar generating capacity by the end of the 13th Five Year Plan, there are many favourable growth prospects for solar EPC for 2012-2013.

 

 

POWER IC

 

OVERVIEW

 

Power IC specializes in setting up of power generation projects for utilities like electricity boards and independent power producers on a lump sum turnkey basis.

 

Power IC undertakes coal based and gas-based projects and specialises in the super critical technology equipments. Its in house manufacturing facilities in the form of Boiler and Steam Turbine, pressure piping fabrication, Axial fans and air-preheaters and Electrostatic Precipitators together with its decades strength in the areas of project management, engineering and construction management has made Power IC as en d to end solution provider under one cloud in setting up the thermal based power plants, particularly of the supercritical type.

 

During the year 2011-2012, the Power IC focused on timely execution of its existing projects amid multiple challenges on the business prospects front. The facility for manufacture of Electrostatic Precipitators was commissioned during 2011- 2012. The facilities of the joint venture with Howden UK for manufacture of axial fans and air-preheaters were also commissioned during the year. Major dispatches of machines and materials to the various project sites of customers were made from the manufacturing facilities for Boiler and Steam Turbine, High Pressure piping which were commissioned during 2010-2011. With this, the Power IC is geared up to provide nearly 85% (by value) of equipment and services in house.

 

During the year, most projects entered into the critical phase. The Phase 2 of GMR Vemagiri gas based combined cycle power plant progressed substantially during the year, with Unit 2 being commissioned in record time of 24 months and the mechanical completion of Unit 3 was also completed. A significant milestone in power projects, ‘Ceiling Girder Final Jackup’ was completed for 2 units of the JPVL Nigrie project (Madhya Pradesh) and 1 unit of the Nabha Power project (Rajpura, Punjab).

 

The year 2011-2012 also saw dispatch of ODC consignments and critical supplies for Boiler for the Koradi and Nigrie projects, notably the Generator Stator and related assemblies. In case of APPDCL project, the 392MT Generator Stator was successfully erected.

 

Currently, 3 BOP projects are under execution and will enter the critical phase of completion in the year 2012-2013.

 

The Dhuvaran gas based project being constructed for Gujarat State Electricity Corp. Ltd. saw the HRSG primary structures executed in a record 14 days.

 

The challenging economic environment reflected on lower order inflow during 2011-2012. The IC has, however, registered substantial growth in sales and profitability.

 

 

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

 

Recently, India’s installed power generation capacity exceeded the milestone of 200,000 MW, still much lower than the installed capacity of 950,000 MW of China. India faces acute power shortages, slowing its economic engine.

 

The planned capacity addition target of 76000 MW in the XII plan also look increasingly difficult to achieve, considering the myriad problems plaguing the power sector. Over the last 12 to 18 months, business opportunities for players in thermal power space have shrunk dramatically, despite high demand for power. The Power industry faced unexpected headwinds on many fronts such as fuel shortages, difficulties in financial closure of new projects, delayed environmental clearance, land acquisition issues and the financial troubles of SEBs. The domestic coal and gas supply did not reach the expected levels. The domestic market for gas-based projects has, therefore, pretty much evaporated. The IC also faced intense competition from BHEL, Chinese equipment suppliers as also from Korean and European players, battling for shrinking opportunities with aggressive bidding strategies.

 

The Union Budget 2012 also left the domestic power equipment industry largely disappointed. The much sought after demand for levy of duties on import of power equipment from China, was ignored, and the market continues to be dominated by Chinese imports, further supported by financing from Chinese banks.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The Government has recently taken certain measures, which indicate its seriousness about the problems plaguing the power sector. The recent directive to Coal India to enter into long term Fuel Supply Agreements with power developers provides assurance of coal supply to all plants expected to be commissioned by March 2015. A few state electricity distribution companies have raised their tariffs which is a big positive for their finances, and provides the necessary impetus to both state power generation companies and IPP’s to plan for new projects.

 

IC expects the first half of 2012-2013 to be challenging; the second half, however, seems promising with some awards materializing especially from state owned companies.

 

The focused initiatives taken by ICs in the overseas market will help getting awards in Asia for gas based projects. The IC also expects orders for civil packages in power plants from both private and public sector. With existing order backlog and expected timely execution of all projects, the IC is confident to sustain the growth in sales and profitability in 2012-2013.

 

The IC with all its factories commissioned, offering of energy efficient solutions, a robust technology and manpower base with relevant capabilities, is poised to capitalize on the opportunities of the future.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

 

The sluggish global economic scenario, the Fukushima nuclear incident in Japan and lack of policy decisions on

the domestic front have adversely impacted the Order Inflow and Sales during Financial Year 2011-2012 in most of the business segments of the IC. Deferment/cancellation of planned projects across geographies has led to a sharp drop in Export Orders.

 

Despite large scale induction programmes of the Armed Forces and the Indian Coast Guard, not many orders were awarded to private players during the year 2011-2012. For the Defence Marine business, competition from other Indian Private Shipyards has intensified. The IC, however, managed to secure a breakthrough order for the Strategic Communications Programme, which would open up fresh avenues in this segment.

 

In the process plant equipment businesses, the margins are under pressure due to aggressive pricing from competitors having idle capacities. The localization policies of some of the countries and preference to local suppliers by some of the EPC Companies due to socio-political compulsions, is putting the IC at a disadvantage. International sanctions on Iran deprive us from some good business opportunities.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

In the hydrocarbon sector, business is expected to look up in the medium term with expected investments in refinery upgrade and revamp / modification projects, new valueadded petrochemical products, grass root Refinery projects in Middle-East, Turkey, Vietnam, Taiwan, Latin America, Russia and CIS countries likely to come up in 2012-2013.

 

Major Oil and Gas investments including LNG are also slated in Australia, Qatar and Russia. The Urea Investment policy cleared recently by the Government of India and widely welcomed by Fertiliser sector is expected to provide major impetus for investment in domestic market and some brown-field projects are likely to be finalized in the near future. Fertiliser projects are expected in gas-rich regions like Africa, Brazil, Middle East, Azerbaijan, Argentina and China. Indian Fertilizer companies are also exploring possibilities of setting up projects in some of these regions. The IC sees good potential for EO/EG and Methanol plant equipment in China. In the backdrop of rising coal prices vis-à-vis lower price of gas, the IC sees prospects in the GTL market.

 

In the Nuclear Equipment business, post Fukushima, there is likely to be a demand spurt for Spent Fuel storage equipment and increased opportunities for decommissioning of Generation II plants.

 

The enhanced budget allocation for defence and the first wave of “Make” programmes and “Buy and Make Indian” programmes in Defence, the IC sees major opportunities in co-development to be followed by co-production over

medium to long term. The recent Government guidelines for establishing joint ventures by Defence Public Sector

undertakings in the Public-Private Partnership mode usher in a range of opportunities to the IC.

 

With superior technology, state of the art manufacturing facilities, HE IC is well-poised to tap upcoming business opportunities.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

 

Analysts are highly optimistic on the prospects of outsourcing business to India. With the economic slowdown, there is a pressure on American and European companies to leverage outsourcing for getting the benefits of value added services and cost arbitrage.

 

Engineering Research and Development (ERandD) outsourcing to India has shown remarkable growth from $8.3 Bn in 2009 to $11.3 Bn in 2011. The Engineering Outsourcing market to India is expected to grow to $ 40-$ 45 billion by the year 2020 with a CAGR of 16%. (Source: Nasscom) Engineering Service Industry is on the cusp of a significant change, shifting to knowledge-intensive and value-added services that call for a new way of functioning. Besides cost arbitrage, the need to scale rapidly, greater focus on core competencies, enhanced productivity, competition and reduced time to market are driving the business.

 

Revenue from North America contributes 70% of the total revenues, the visa policies of North America especially USA, therefore, have maximum impact on IES’s business. To minimize this effect and to meet the business requirements, IES is also recruiting local talent.

 

IES being in an export oriented service business, any fluctuation in the foreign currency exchange rate has a considerable impact on its performance. IES has undertaken a range of measures like hedging to minimize these exchange fluctuation impact.

 

ER and D outsourcing sector is predominantly a project based business. IES is actively working to increase its annuity business portfolio and some of the significant long term contracts won during the year are a testimony to that. A significant growth in ER andD market will be in the industry sectors of Transportation, Industrial Products and Plant Engineering. These sectors together will account for more than 70% of ER D market. IES is uniquely positioned to have strong presence in each of these industry sectors as compared to their domestic and international competitors.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Global trends in the economy today motivate the people in general to invest in businesses which have been growing significantly over the years. Engineering Services is one such industry. During the current fiscal year, IES has been able to achieve a revenue growth of 60%. To cater to this growth, IES has added more than 1200 employees in the year and more than 50 clients including 15 fortune 500 companies.

 

With the initiatives taken in 2011-2012, actions planned in the next year and addition of new geographies, IES is confident of achieving impressive growth in the 2012-2013.

 

 

REVENUE FROM OPERATIONS

 

Gross Revenue from Operations for the year at Rs.537380.000 Millions registered a growth of 21% over 2010-2011 on the back of healthy Order Book at the start of the year. Most of the projects progressed well as scheduled, in particular, EPC Power, Buildings and Factories and Hydrocarbon businesses contributed significantly to the Company’s Revenue growth. The product businesses, however, recorded a modest revenue increase with sluggish industrial off-take during the year 2011-2012. International Revenue grew by 38% constituting 12% of the total Revenue, mostly contributed by various projects under execution in Power Transmission and Distribution, Infrastructure and Oil and Gas sectors in GCC countries and sales by Integrated Engineering Services business.

L&T TO SELL PLASTICS BUSINESS TO JAPANESE FIRM TOSHIBA MACHINE

 

PTI Mumbai Last Updated: August 28, 2012 | 00:00 IST

 

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) will sell its plastics machinery business to Japanese firm Toshiba Machine for an undisclosed sum. The company also said it has won orders worth Rs 20510.000 millions from Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) and Petroleum Development Oman.


Toshiba Machine is part of Toshiba group of companies and is involved in manufacture of injection moulding machines and other machinery.


"L&T signed a share sale and purchase agreement, pending final closing conditions, with Toshiba Machine Co Ltd, Japan to sell its entire stake in L&T Plastics Machinery Ltd (LTPML)," it said in a statement.

Without disclosing the sale price for the LTPML, the company said, "The move is in line with L&T's strategic road map to exit non-core businesses and rationalises its portfolio".


LTPML, which manages the plastics business, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of L&T and had reported a profit of Rs 110.000 millions in the last fiscal, while its total sales stood at Rs 2060.000 millions.

 

Toshiba Machine has manufacturing units in Japan and China and it primarily caters to the Asian and North American markets. The company had reported a sales of 119 billion yen and PAT of 6 billion yen for the year ended March, 2012.


L&T also announced that it has won Rs 13020.000 millions order from Petroleum Development Oman and Rs 7490.000 millions contract from ONGC.

 

The ONGC contract is for total Engineering Procurement Construction and Installation (EPCI) of four wellhead platforms in the Mukta, Bassein and Mumbai High South oil fields and will have to be completed by April 2014, it said.

The contract was won in an international competitive bidding, L&T said, adding that the project is part of ONGC's strategy to develop marginal fields to meet India's rising energy demands.

 

The Rs 13020.000 millions ($235 million) order from Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) is for executing EPC of Oman's Saih Rawl Depletion Compression phase-II project, L&T said.

 

PDO is the leading oil exploration and production firm in Sultanate of Oman and accounts for more than 70 per cent of country's crude oil production and nearly all of its natural gas supply.

 

The project involves installation of 76 MW of gas compression capacity with 4 trains and modification of the condensate handling system at the captive power project.

 

"This will enable the Saih Rawl main (oil) field to produce maximum annual daily load of 30 million standard cubic meters a day (MSCMD) gas," L&T said.

L&T APPROACHES GOVT TO SURRENDER SEZ

 

Reflecting lack of enthusiasm for special economic zones, 16 developers including Cognizant Technology Solutions and Parsvnath SEZ have sought more time from the government for implementing their projects.

Reflecting lack of enthusiasm for special economic zones, 16 developers including Cognizant Technology Solutions and Parsvnath SEZ have sought more time from the government for implementing their projects.

Besides, four developers, including L&T Chennai Projects and Welspun Anjar, have approached the commerce ministry to surrender their IT and textile zones respectively.

 

"These proposals will be taken up by the Board of Approval (BoA) headed by commerce secretary SR Rao on March 15," an official said.

 

L&T Chennai Projects Pvt Ltd, has requested for SEZ de-notification on the grounds of global recession in IT/ITES sector, general slowdown in macroeconomic scenario and introduction of minimum alternate tax and dividend distribution tax, the official said.

 

The other developers, which have sought more time to implement their projects, include Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation, Cochin Port Trust and Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority.

 

Parsvnath's project for setting up of Biotech SEZ in Andhra Pradesh was notified on December 20, 2011.

The developer has been granted two extensions, the validity of which was up to August 2012.

It has sought further extension on the ground that the state government had changed the location allotted to them earlier, which needed the approval of Commerce department. BoA is a 19-member inter-ministerial body that deals with special economic zones related matters.


According to an industry expert, uncertainty over tax exemptions to new SEZs has also led to declining interest in these tax-free enclaves. Investors are very apprehensive about the new draft Direct Taxes Code (DTC), he added.

According to the revised DTC draft, which will replace the Income Tax Act of 1961, tax exemptions for SEZs will be confined to the existing units.


SEZs have emerged as major route for attracting investments and increasing exports. So far, 166 zones are operational.

SEZs contributed about 30% to the country's overall exports.


Exports from these tax-free enclaves increased by over 35% year-on-year to Rs 3.53 lakh crore during April-December 2012 period.


SEZ units are eligible for 100% tax exemption for first five years and 50% for the next five. The developers of the zones also avail 100% income tax exemption for 10 years.
