INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

We are living in a world where volatility and uncertainty have become the New Normal. We saw a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Vietnam. Once powerful countries in Europe are now fighting for bankruptcy. We have taken growth in the developing part of the world for granted but economic growth in China and India has begun to slow. Companies that were synonymous with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its operations, HMV, the British entertainment retailing company and Borders, once the second largest bookstore have shut down due to their inability to evolve their business models with the changing time. Readers’ Digest, Thomson Register are no more !

 

There is another megatrend happening. The World order is changing as economic power shifts from West to East. According to McKinsey study, it took Britain more than 100 years to double its economic output per person during its industrial revolution and the US later took more than 50 years to do the same. More than a century later, China and India have doubled their GDP per capital in 12 and 18 years respectively. By 2020, emerging Asia will become the world’s largest consuming block, overtaking North America.

 

The years after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to remain fragile. The Indian economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in the initial years of the contagion but finally lost ground last year. GDP growth slowed down. Currency has been weakening. There is a marked deceleration in agriculture, industry and services. Dampening sentiment led to a cut-back in investment as well as private consumption expenditure.  Inflation remained at high levels fuelled by the pressure from the food and fuel sectors. The large fiscal and current account deficit s continued to cause grave concern. It is imperative that India regains its growth trajectory of 8-9 % sooner than later. This is crucially important given the need to create gainful livelihood opportunities for the millions living in poverty as also the large contingent of young people joining the job market every year.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

Revenue from operations recorded an increase of 7% over the previous year, though volumes remained flat. The year witnessed a turbulent business environment that moderated growth. The year started with optimism but as it progressed there were challenges with inflation, decelerating growth and worsening investment climate which adversely impacted consumer sentiments. The global economic environment was confronted with geo-political instability, Eurozone crisis, fluctuating global commodity prices etc.

 

The Company had to deal with the challenges of a sharp depreciation of the Indian Rupee during the year coupled with a sharp increase in the prices of polypropylene during the last quarter. This has to be viewed in the context of extreme resistance from Customers to price revisions.

 

The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the revised Schedule VI guidelines, notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Therefore, the previous year’s figure have been regrouped / recast wherever necessary. The Pultrusion Division continues to face the challenges of declining prices during the year due to surplus capacity pressures which resulted in a lower performance as compared to the previous year.

 

 

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

BUSINESS SCENARIO

 

The market after initiating well turned soft for the better part of the year. Only towards the end of the year did some improvement in passenger vehicles demand become visible. Passenger vehicles growth slowed down to below 5% year on year. Multiplicity of industrial and supply chain factors affected OEM production adversely thereby impacting growth in sales for the year.

 

The company’s strategy of risk mitigation with different OEM’s is now showing results. Input costs remained firm with the major input PP swinging upwards by over 15% in the period Jan - Mar 2012.

 

COMPANY PERFORMANCE

 

The year started well but the market could not sustain momentum due to fuel price increase and also higher interest costs. NANO vehicle production remained much below target for most of calendar Year 2011 and only towards December did the same ramp up. Their focused efforts with customers in both 4 wheeler and 2 wheeler segments ensured they were able to maintain their sales.

 

OPERATIONS

 

While their volumes remained flat they were able to improve the top line by over 7% thanks to some aggressive pricing. Utility energy has come on line in Jejuri and has facilitated the plant to optimize its capacity.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

REVENUES

 

The Revenue from operations of the Company grew by 7% over the previous year even though volumes were marginally lower. This was on account of the price revisions from the customers during the early part of the year.

Trading volumes showed close to 100% growth during the year, reflecting appropriately on the top-line. The Pultrusion Division performance was significantly impacted by sustained competition for end products from international competitors.

 

INPUT COSTS

 

Whilst the prices of Polypropylene remained stable during the first half of the financial year, the last quarter of the year witnessed an increase of over 15% for which price correction from major customers are yet to be realised. Besides the PP prices, prices of various other ingredients like Additives, Elastomers and Pigments have also been in the uptrend, in view of the severe international shortage of base chemicals. However, the overall Input cost efficiency improved by optimizing formulations and use of multiple sourcing. The depreciation of the rupee significantly during the middle of the year pushed up landed cost thus impacting input costs during the second half of the year. Higher quantum of grid power was available at Jejuri, to meet the increased level of operations. However, due to the severe ongoing power cut in Tamilnadu, Pudukottai Plant had to use self-generated power to meet its production volumes. The power cut also impacted the evacuation of power generated by the Wind Energy Generators into the Utility Grid.

 

Certain major maintenance activity at the Puducherry works and to meet certain statutory requirement at their Jejuri works were undertaken which entailed expenditure under this head.

 

The Cyclone that hit Puducherry on the eve of the New Year 2012, did not cause major damages in their Plant and the production was resumed after minimal stoppage of operations. Appropriate claims have been filed with the Insurance authorities.

 

FINANCIAL COSTS

 

Interest rates remained high during the early part of the year. The Company negotiated and obtained significant reduction in interest rates for the Working Capital facilities during the annual review by the Bankers. However, this saving was more than negated by the sudden depreciation in the Indian Rupee during the year which has also impacted Buyer’s Credit obligations.

 

The volatility of the Rupee vis a vis Dollar, posed challenges in taking hedging decisions, thus impacting financial costs. Significant reimbursement delays of power banked with the Electricity Board also aded to increase in financial costs. The Company continues to optimally use Buyer’s Credit funds for Working Capital.

 

Rating Agency ICRA Limited, maintained its short term A2 rating of the Company and reaffirmed the long term rating at LBBB for the captioned line of credit in view of the performance of the Company

 

 

ONGOING INITIATIVES AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

a) Only if the trend in increasing off take of vehicles is sustained will the volume of tonnage increases materialise. Such increased volumes and management of supply chain and logistics should help in bettering margins during the current year subject of course to the price behave their of Polypropylene and other crude oil based inputs.

 

b) New commercial vehicles call for increased usage of PP compounds on interior parts and the Company is already working with major companies in this segment to benefit from this approach.

 

c) Control of receivables and inventory and improved process efficiency, should also contribute to the reduction of working capital requirement leading to a reduction in interest costs.

 

However, the overall short term economic scenario looks pessimistic and could have an impact on the off take of vehicles and consequent growth of the auto industry
