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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
Industry structure
and developments – 2012
The lubricant industry in India is broadly divided into three major market sectors: Automotive, Industrial and Marine and Energy applications. The industry is led by four major players (Castrol India Limited, Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited) who together contribute to approximately 55% of the market in terms of volumes. Another 20% of the market is accounted for by multinational companies such as TotalFinaElf, Shell, Gulf Oil and Tidewater oil, amongst others. Numerous other players, largely local in nature, operate in the balance 25% of the market, leading to a very competitive market scenario.
The Indian automotive industry was characterized by a slowdown in growth in 2012. While the year started on a robust note, the second half witnessed a decelerating trend in vehicle sales, exacerbated by high inflation and interest rates. This cut across all the key segments in which Castrol offers lubricant products and services, including commercial vehicles, tractors, off road vehicles, passenger cars and two-wheelers.
Commercial vehicles, tractors and off road vehicles: Weak transporter sentiment, weighed down by rising fuel prices, high interest rates, inflation and higher vehicle prices, had an adverse impact on medium/ heavy commercial vehicle (MHCV) sales. Finance availability and freight rates were the other triggers.
The micro light commercial vehicle (MLCV) segment however continued to grow. Delayed monsoon and drought in major States decelerated tractor off take. Off road vehicles growth was impacted by slowdown/ stalling of key infrastructure related projects and also by policies pertaining to mining sector.
Passenger cars and two-wheelers: Domestic passenger car sales have grown in 2012, but on a low base. This has been abetted by discounts offered by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) on a recurring basis through the year. The growth has been led by sharp increase in off take of utility vehicles. Post a few high growth years, the two-wheeler industry experienced a modest growth in 2012.
MAJOR INDUSTRY
DEVELOPMENTS
Economic Conditions
Low growth of the Indian Economy: India’s GDP grew at 5% during 2012; the performance in the second half of the year lagging considerably behind the first half. The projected industrial growth was only 0.7%. This slowdown was triggered in part by persistent high inflation that constrained the Reserve Bank of India to retain high interest rates and also by the sharp devaluation of the Indian Rupee. The growth was further weighed down by stalling of mining projects and delays in infrastructure projects.
Delayed monsoon: Apart from the high inflation and interest rates, the delayed monsoon led to low agricultural growth (1.8%) and a significant slowdown in the services sector (6.6%) in 2012.
Hike in fuel prices: Both petrol and diesel prices increased in the range of Rs. 9-10 per litre in 2012; the percentage increase being much higher for diesel, given the lower base price. Price hike in diesel impacted profitability of the commercial vehicle industry, which in turn, had an adverse effect on lubricant consumption in this category.
Crude oil, base oil
and additives
The year 2012 witnessed pressure on input raw materials due to high crude prices coupled with devaluation of Indian rupee against the US Dollar. Both these factors impacted the prices of base oils, performance additives and chemicals, which resulted in higher input cost.
The Company worked decisively on cost effective ‘bought out’ model and value based inventory management, keeping an eye on cash costs and working capital without impacting service levels.
Crude prices reflected the volatile trend especially in first half of the year and after reaching a high of US $126 in March 2012, settled down at an average of US $110 from July 2012 and remained at this level throughout the year, amid geopolitical tensions in Middle East countries.
The initial demand growth for base oils, seen in major markets of Asia and Pacific region, underpinned by the strong crude prices during the first half of 2012, drove up base oil prices by 5% from end 2011. However, overall economic slowdown across the globe since June 2012 impacted base oil consumption and markets were oversupplied. This pushed down prices starting from July 2012 and the trend continued for rest of the year but the full benefit of this reduction was not felt due to consistent crude prices at around US $110.
In a
business environment which was very challenging and unpredictable, the Company
continued providing value to its consumers through strategic sourcing, value
improvement initiatives, extensive focus on service and continuous monitoring.
The Company worked decisively on cost effective ‘bought out’ model and value based inventory management, keeping an eye on cash costs and working capital without impacting service levels.
MARKET BEHAVIOUR AND
OUTLOOK
Automotive lubricants
business outlook
The urban retail automotive segment of the Indian lubricant industry witnessed a small de-growth in volume terms in 2012 while it grew marginally in value terms, during the same period. Tighter fuel specifications, combined with growing demand for more sophisticated motor vehicles, are driving a gradual shift towards higher quality transport lubricants and longer drain intervals, leading to lower lubricants consumption per vehicle and slower growth in overall engine oil demand.
The outlook for the automotive lubricants segment is explained through the three broad dimensions of growth drivers, channels of distribution and competitive activity.
Growth drivers: The key drivers of growth in each segment where the Company operates are explained below:
Commercial vehicle lubricants: Demand for lubricants was more or less stagnant in the medium and heavy commercial vehicle (MHCV) segments, reflecting a slowdown in economic activity and lengthening oil drain intervals resulting from the same.
Commercial vehicle lubricants demand is projected to exhibit muted growth in 2013. This will be driven by vehicle population expansion. However, the volume impact of the growth will be tempered by a continuing shift to higher quality lubricants and longer oil drain intervals.
In the MHCV segment, demand is likely to be under pressure in spite of superior offerings from Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland and Bharat Benz, which have fuelled anticipation in the category. Sales of light commercial vehicles (LCVs) however, are expected to grow in double digit in the near future.
Tractor lubricants: Delayed monsoons resulted in low agricultural growth, thereby adversely impacting overall growth in lubricant consumption for tractors. Going forward, the performance of this segment is contingent on the revival in agricultural growth. Normal monsoon in 2013 should help the tractor business as well as rural vehicle growth.
Off road vehicle lubricants: Demand declined in the off road vehicle segment, reflecting a slowdown in infrastructure sector. Implementation of several projects was delayed during the year leading to lower off take in this sector. Ban on mining activity in some States further impacted demand.
Off road vehicle lubricant demand is projected to remain soft in the short term. However, policy initiatives, including formation of the National Investment Board (NIB) and easing of financing norms, once implemented, should improve infrastructure development activity. Hence the sector is likely to witness moderate growth in the medium term. Several OEMs have announced projects to expand manufacturing capacity to meet long term growth in this sector.
Passenger car lubricants: The market for passenger car lubricants showed a marginal decline in 2012. This reflects lengthening oil drain intervals among the existing car population. The movement towards superior low viscosity lubricants continued during the year.
In 2013, the passenger car lubricants market is likely to be driven by the growth in diesel cars and utility vehicles. The movement towards synthetic lubricants and lengthening oil drain intervals is expected to continue. This is likely to impact value realization favourably. Volume growth will be subject to reversal in the economic slowdown and faster growth in car sales.
Two-wheeler lubricants: The two-wheeler lubricants market was the growth driver for the automotive lubricants category in 2012. However, growth levels were lower compared to those in previous years.
In 2013, they expect the two-wheeler lubricants segment to continue on its growth path, given that OEMs are all geared up to tap two key opportunity areas – rural and scooters. There is a real opportunity to drive two-wheeler sales in rural areas where the ownership of two-wheelers is in less than 15% of households. In addition, scooters are driving growth in the two-wheeler segment as opposed to conventional motorcycles. The emergence of women scooter owners / riders presents a new segment opportunity for differentiated products.
Channels of distribution: Retail remains the dominant sales channel for automotive lubricants. However, OEM dealerships and authorized workshops are becoming increasingly important due to higher retention period for vehicle servicing at the OEM authorized workshops.
Since the growth in number of authorized workshops continues to lag the growth in vehicle population, the small independent workshops have also been witnessing a rapid pace of growth. The historically dominant sales channels, like petrol stations, continue to decline and are no longer a dominant channel for the industry. This trend is expected to continue.
The Company has pioneered new channels of distribution viz. Castrol Bike Points and Castrol Pitstops – service centres with amplified Castrol branding. The footprint for the same has been expanded considerably year on year.
Competitive activity
The competitive situation remains largely unchanged with all major international lubricant players having been present in the market for several years now. The Company continues to be the leading brand in the retail automotive sector, followed by the public sector brands. However, few players have been competing aggressively with lower prices and higher sales promotion to gain market share. In the urban retail automotive segment, the Company has witnessed an improvement in share movement compared to 2011, registering a moderate increase in volume share in a highly challenging year. This growth has been led by the offerings for new generation trucks, tractors and passenger cars.
Non-automotive
lubricants business outlook
Industrial production, measured by the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), slowed down significantly and was expected to grow by 0.7% during 2012 – the lowest since 2005-06. This was driven by a decline in mining (-1.4%) and a low growth in manufacturing. Power generation however grew by 4.5%.
Slow implementation of investment projects led to supply constraints, particularly in the mining segment and pulled down the industry growth. Rising inflation, coupled with high interest rates, dampened consumer sentiment in 2012 and they witnessed a slowdown in consumer spending for high value white goods and automobiles.
Industrial output is poised to improve slightly with respect to production in 2013. Inflation has started easing and will continue to do so. The manufacturing sector, the single largest contributor to industrial production, is set to see a restrained improvement in its performance in 2013.
The marine industry continues operating in a very challenging period. In 2012, many Indian shipping companies and ship management companies saw a scrapping and sale of vessels. The Company continues to focus on customer intimacy and provide best in class products and services. However, they have seen drop in volumes in marine business due to much lower utilization of vessels, higher lay ups and slow steaming in operations. Various estimations on marine industry peg the recovery to 2014 or 2015 when the demand and supply of vessels to cargo will correct to a level which will push up the current prevailing charter rates.
SEGMENT-WISE /
PRODUCT-WISE PERFORMANCE
Automotive lubricants
business performance
In a challenging competitive and cost environment, the Company delivered a top line growth of 6% in the automotive business during the year 2012. However, increased cost of material, mainly on account of Indian Rupee devaluation against US Dollar, and additional investment in brands, innovation, business growth opportunities and staff costs, impacted the operating profit of the Company\ which declined by 1%.
(i) Launches / re-launches to bring a live distinctive propositions: During 2012, the Company refreshed and re\ launched several of its brands including Castrol CRB Plus and Castrol CRB Turbo with Durashield™ Boosters, Castrol Activ with Actibond™ molecules and Castrol Magnatec with its proposition of ‘Instant protection from the moment you start the car’. Castrol RX series was also re-launched with an improved portfolio and customer value proposition. The Company also re-launched its BP lubricant brand with superior ‘Cleanguard’ technology.
(ii) Improved availability: In 2012, the Company mounted a major rural thrust and appointed over 680 new rural sub-distributors. In addition, there was a focus on independent workshops for cars and two-wheelers. Through these initiatives, the Company managed to increase its customer base by 8,000 outlets.
(iii) Improved advocacy: One of the most valuable assets of the Company is the strong relationship it enjoys with its trade partners. The Anmol Ratn dealer loyalty programme has been a huge success, enabling the Company to connect strongly with its core dealers. In addition, the Company launched a number of influencer advocacy programmes like Castrol Smiles, which enabled us to build stronger relationships with mechanics.
(iv) Stronger OEM partnerships: The Company continues to strengthen its relationships with all its key OEM partners like Ford, VW Group, BMW, Tata Motors, JCB, Telcon and Komatsu. The Company demonstrated its technology leadership by conducting a technology day at Ford and setting up learning centres on site at VW and Tata Motors. The Company also demonstrated its safety leadership position by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Tata Motors to develop and deliver training modules on workshop safety. Focusing on the environment, the Company launched a ‘green’ offer by installing lubricant dispensing equipment at all BMW workshops, significantly reducing supply of plastic packs.
(v) Building on line communities: With the increasing need to reach consumers across multiple touch points, the Company has established a strong presence in social media. On line initiatives linked to the ‘Grand India Roadtrip’ and ‘Ride to MotoGP,’ helped build a strong connect with a growing breed of bikers.
(vi) Leveraging new touch points through cricket: In 2012, the Company leveraged its sponsorship as the official Performance Partner of the International Cricket Council through the ICCTwenty20 World Cup. This association, especially with its flagship brands like Castrol Activ and Castrol Magnatec, has helped build a strong connect with consumers, especially first time vehicle owners.
Non-automotive
lubricants business performance
The non-automotive part of the business was affected by the slowdown in the Industrial, Marine and Building and Construction segments and a tight money market. In 2012, the revenues of the segment were down by 8%.
In this challenging, competitive environment, the Company has created an eco-system to offer holistic solutions to address its customers’ demand for enhancing productivity. The Company has renewed its strategic alliance with ACE Micromatic Group – the largest CNC machine tool manufacturer in India. The Company continues to reach out to its customers through participation in Industry seminars, conferences and trade shows, specific to its target segments.
Linked to productivity enhancement, the Company is now successfully running compatible chemistry lubricants in automobile companies in India. This enables sustainable manufacturing performance while driving out waste costs for its customers.
The Company continues to consolidate its position as the leading supplier of technologically superior and value delivering metal working fluids and high performance lubricants.
The Company has maintained its leadership position in the offshore drilling segment in 2012 by focusing its efforts on value offers despite minimal drilling activity. However, as companies in India continue to hunt for oil and gas reserves, they expect some momentum in this segment in 2013 and onwards. The Company will maintain its focus on value and specialist offers, such as subsea solutions, to further consolidate its market share in the offshore drilling segment.

CASTROL LAUNCHES
CASTROL RX SUPER MAX FUEL SAVER CO-ENGINEERED WITH TATA MOTORS
- Increased fuel efficiency of TATA trucks by 1.5%*
- First diesel engine oil to be recommended for fuel efficiency by an OEM
Mumbai, 19th August 2013: Castrol India Limited today launched Castrol RX Super Max Fuel Saver 10W-40, in association with the country’s largest commercial vehicle Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), TATA Motors Limited. Castrol RX Super Max Fuel Saver 10W-40, co-engineered by Castrol India Limited and Tata Motors Limited, is designed to increase the fuel efficiency of TATA trucks by 1.5% (over SAE 15W40 engine oil of similar performance credentials) and save substantial amounts of diesel as well as operating costs.
Commenting on the new product, Mr. Ravi Pisharody, ED, Commercial Vehicles, TATA Motors said, “Customer centricity is at the core of our business philosophy and we are therefore delighted that Castrol joined hands with us to develop a unique product to improve fuel efficiency, that can result in savings of fuel and cost for our customers as well as the commercial vehicle industry at large. Castrol RX Super Max is being launched at an opportune time when the commercial vehicle industry is facing serious challenges. I am confident that this product will be a huge success and will benefit truck drivers as well as operators.”
On the occasion of the launch, Mr. Ravi Kirpalani, Managing Director, Castrol India Limited said, “Castrol and Tata Motors have a long and enduring partnership of almost 30 years in India. Castrol RX Super Max Fuel Saver 10W-40 is an exciting new product which has been co-engineered with the objective of improving fuel efficiency and thus reducing the cost of operating a truck. The product has been developed and rigorously tested over four years in the laboratory and on the roads and will directly benefit Tata Motors customers. The challenge was to develop an oil which was fuel efficient but yet tough enough to withstand the huge pressure faced by trucks on difficult road and operating conditions including overloading. This is yet another step towards strengthening the close partnership we have with Tata Motors.”
The Indian commercial vehicle industry is becoming more conscious of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), which includes not just the capital cost but also the operating cost. Diesel cost constitutes just over 50% of the Total Cost of Ownership and the constant increase in diesel prices is a serious cause of concern for the automobile industry and the consumer. Castrol RX Super Max Fuel Saver has the potential to save almost Rs.20,000 per annum for a truck which travels about 100,000 kms during a year.**
Castrol and Tata Motors’ three decade long relationship in India has been recently extended overseas in Bangladesh, South Africa, Thailand and Indonesia.

Castrol India Limited today announced its second quarter results for the period April – June 2013. The company delivered a strong performance with Profit After Tax growing by 27% at Rs.1536.000 Millions as against Rs.1209.000 Millions during the same period in the previous year.
For the six month period January – June 2013, Profit after Tax is up by 14% to Rs. 2779.000 Millions as against Rs.2438.000 Millions during the same period in the previous year.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company completed the sale of one of its non-operating plants and has realised a gain of Rs.198.000 Millions.
The company has declared an interim dividend of Rs.3.50 per share of Rs. 10/- each for the year ending December 31, 2013.
The Board of Directors at its meeting held today, appointed Ms. Rashmi Joshi as Wholetime Director of the Company designated as Director- Finance with effect from 1st August, 2013.
Commenting on the quarter results, Ravi Kirpalani – Managing Director, Castrol India Limited, said: “Despite the continuing environmental challenges, Castrol India has put in a very strong performance during the second quarter, delivering improved gross margin on account of better realisations, improved product mix and effective cost management strategy.”
According to Mr. Kirpalani, ‘The performance is underpinned by strong marketing programmes targeted towards consumers, trade and influencers. The performance was particularly strong in the personal mobility segment with significant volume growth in the two-wheeler segment.”
As Performance Partners of the International Cricket Council, the company had the opportunity to leverage the ICC Champions Trophy, England and Wales 2013, through an exciting and innovative programme reaching out to all stakeholders. The activation, which was largely through digital and social media, made Castrol one of the most interactive brands during the live matches.
The company also launched an outreach programme for its diesel engine oil brand, Castrol CRB Turbo, reaching out directly to consumers, dealers and mechanics in key markets. The company’s micro marketing model for passenger car oils was also extended to new markets during the quarter, with great success.
Outlook: Continued economic headwinds, further significant rupee depreciation since May 2013 and tight crude and base oil markets are likely to impact the growth in the short term. Further, sluggish automotive and industrial growth will hinder lubricant demand. This may have adverse impact on margins and volumes. In the longer run, however, we are confident about a positive lubricant market and business growth. The company is in a strong position to leverage growth opportunities with its strong brands, lasting relationships with key stakeholders and continued commitment of its staff

Castrol India Limited today announced its first quarter results for the period January – March 2013. The Company delivered improved performance with Profit After Tax growing by 1% at Rs.1243.000 Millions as against Rs.122.9 Millions during the same period in the previous year.
The Board of Directors at its meeting held today, also announced the appointment of Mr. Ravi Kirpalani, currently Automotive Director and Chief Operating Officer, as Managing Director of the company with effect from 27th April 2013.
The Board of Directors also expressed their support for a scheme of capital reduction to return to the shareholders of the Company, a sum of Rs. 5/- per share, and thereby reducing the nominal / face value of the share from Rs.10/- to Rs. 5/- per share. This proposal is subject to the approval of the stock exchanges, Regulatory body viz Securities and Exchange Board of India, Castrol India's shareholders and the High Ct of Judicature of Bombay.
Commenting on the results, Ravi Kirpalani said: “The first quarter results reflect improved gross margin on account of better realisations and softening base oil prices. Furthermore, managing and controlling cost helped deliver a growth in Profit from operations before other income and finance charges by 7% during the period under review”.
According to Mr. Kirpalani, “Castrol India continues to grow and has delivered a strong underlying performance especially in its core retail automotive business, despite the extremely challenging external environment. This growth has been led by the two wheeler and passenger car segments where we have increased volumes significantly. The growth in the retail automotive part of the business was partially offset by the Industrial, Marine and Building and Construction segments which were severely impacted due to the extremely difficult external environment. As a result of this, our sales in these segments were also impacted”.
The next few quarters will continue to be challenging. Whilst base oil prices have been soft on the back of weak demand, given the increase in crude prices, base oil prices have hardened again. Moreover, the sluggish economy, and slow automotive and industrial growth will continue to dampen lubricant demand. This may put our margins under pressure.
In the longer run however, we remain optimistic about the prospect for lubricant market growth in India. Castrol India is in a strong position to participate in this growth owing to its strong brands, enduring relationships with key stakeholders and continued commitment of its staff.
