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.

OPERATIONS:

 

The total turnover of the Company was Rs. 10757.600 Millions (previous year - Rs.10010.200 Millions). The profit before exceptional items and taxation was Rs. 493.900 Millions (Rs. 469.000 Millions). The profit before tax was Rs. 703.100 Millions (Rs. 670.200 Millions). The profit after provision for current tax of Rs. 158.500 Millions and write back of deferred tax of Rs. 09.500 Millions and adjustment of MAT credit of Rs. 67.000 Millions, was Rs. 621.100 Millions (Rs. 541.900 Millions) resulting in an EPS of Rs. 6.26 for the year (Rs. 6.11).

 

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT:

 

BANGALORE:

 

During the year, the Bangalore project of the Company was notified by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India as Special Economic Zone (SEZ) comprising of an area of 12.14 hectares (30.35 acres). The remaining area of 9.32 acres is being developed as non-SEZ property. Auspicious Bhoomi Puja for the project was performed in the month of April 2012. Designed by renowned Architects – RSP Design Consultants, the project will consist of a total of 8.00 million sq ft out of which revenue area is 3.82 million sq ft of IT SEZ and 1.23 million sq ft of non-SEZ space encompassing a Hotel, Serviced Apartments, Commercial Offices and a Retail Mall. It is being developed at a total cost of Rs 18000.000 Millions on a Joint Development basis with Hinduja Realty Ventures Limited who are responsible for all Architectural Scheme design, project funding, permissions, approvals, construction and development, marketing / leasing and eventual maintenance of the entire complex. There will be no additional cost to be incurred by the Company on the development. In return for making available the land for the project, the Company is entitled to 30% of the entire developed area totalling 2.4 million sq ft out of which revenue area will be 1.5 million sq ft. Revenues are planned in a phased manner from the last quarter of the FY 2013–14. The Co-Developers are involving reputed contractors and consultants for adherence to quality and timely completion of the project in a phased manner in about 5 ˝ Years.

 

HYDERABAD:

 

Work on the 100 ft. road through the property of the Company being laid by Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has been progressing well. The Company had handed over 8 acres and 11 guntas of land for the road, in lieu of which the Company is entitled to waiver of impact fee in respect of the proposed development of the property. The Company is in advanced stage of entering into of agreement for developing the property with Hinduja Realty Ventures Limited; sharing ratio based on the recommendations of reputed property consultants is being considered.

 

MINING AND INFRASTRUCTURE (IDLCONSULT):

 

The Year 2011-12 was no better for the Mining Industry over the previous year and the performance of Mining and Infrastructure Division (IDL Consult) is held back by various Governmental issues faced by mine owners. The mining contracts in the Iron ore block of Orissa which was contributing to the business of the Division in the previous years were affected due to the statutory restrictions from the State and Central Government on account of lease areas allowed for mining and environmental exigencies. As a result, the Division ended the year with the revenue of Rs. 510.000 Millions as against Rs. 1260.000 Millions in the previous year. However the Division has taken up one Irrigation Project in Andhra Pradesh to build canals for the Pranahita Chevella Project. Division’s contract is in the first package of this prestigious Project in AP. Uranium ore mining project for Uranium Corporation of India under the Department of Atomic Energy suffered due to issues amongst the management of UCIL and the land losers for few months. The Project picked up in the later part of the year. The Division had undertaken an ambitious project for implementing and integrating Management system covering Quality, Safety, Occupation health and environment. This Division is the only Mining Service Provider in India with all certification under ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and BS OHSAS 18001.

 

EXPORTS:

 

Sales of explosive accessories was Rs. 280.000 Millions during F 12 as against Rs. 310.000 Millions in previous year. This was despite continuing economic slowdown in both Europe and Middle East and more stringent shipping procedures and increased competition. Margins were maintained by optimizing product mix, clubbing shipments and better cost management. Exports of the Lubricants Division were at 658 KL during 2011-12 as compared to 1487 KL in 2010-11. Export turnover of lubricant products was lower at Rs. 91.400 Millions during 2011-12 against Rs. 133.400 Millions in 2010-11. The Division is exporting its products mainly to ASEAN markets and highly competitive Middle East markets.

 

OUTLOOK FOR THE CURRENT YEAR:

 

Volume growth in the lubricant industry is expected to be subdued at similar levels as in the last year at 5 % in the bazaar market and 2-3 % overall. The automotive industry growth is pegged at 10-11 % (as per SIAM). Increasing input costs and adverse exchange rates are likely to put pressure on margins. The Division will focus on maintaining its volume growth at double the rate of the industry and increase its presence in the B2B / OEM segments. Additional opportunities to extend the distribution base and network in the automotive and industrial markets are also being tapped to increase market shares. New Synthetic lubricant products and mineral based ‘long life’ products will be launched in 2012-13. Competition is expected to increase as they have been losing volumes with more price discounts and promotions, putting pressure on margins and market share.

Mumbai, 25th May 2013: Gulf Oil Corporation Limited, a Hinduja Group Company, has reported a 7% increase in income in Q4. For the year ended 31st March 2013, the turnover was Rs. 10810.000 Millions and Profit After Tax Rs. 530.000 Millions. The Board has recommended a Dividend of Rs. 2.20 (110%), a payout of 48%


Division wise performance and highlights are as under:


LUBRICANTS DIVISION:


The Lubricants Division continued to record growth in revenues and volumes in 4th quarter of Financial Year 2012-13. The gross turnover for the quarter increased to Rs. 2350.000 Millions as compared to Rs. 2130.000 Millions in the corresponding quarter of the previous year i.e. a growth of 10% on QoQ basis. Operational Profit before Interest and Tax for the quarter has also gone up by 13% to Rs. 260.000 Millions compared to Rs. 230.000 Millions in the corresponding quarter of the previous year mainly on account of higher volumes achieved by the Division. For the year ended 31st March’13, Lubricants Division achieved turnover of Rs. 8430.000 Millions compared to Rs. 7560.000 Millions in the previous year 2011-12 , a growth of 12% and Operational Profit before interest and tax for the year increased by 13% to Rs. 1060.000 Millions against Rs. 940.000 Millions in the previous year. Operational Results also reflect the effective margin management strategy pursued by the Division.


The overall demand for lubricants was subdued due to the lower goods movement, flat / negative growth of the automobile, infrastructure, mining and industrial sectors. The Lubricants Division continued its growth momentum and recorded positive volume growth across all geographies and segments which were well ahead of its major competitors. This faster growth is resulting in increased market share for the Division across segments.


Brand Initiatives – In Q4 the Division strengthened its position in the new generation diesel engine segment by increasing sales for its new product range - Gulf Super Fleet Turbo range of products which was launched earlier in the year to meet the requirements of latest generation of commercial vehicles like TATA Motors, Eicher, etc. The product range has received very positive response from consumers, trade and influencers. To enhance visibility at the retail level a signage program was launched for the top markets.

 
EXPLOSIVES DIVISION:


The Explosives Division manufacturing the detonators and initiators, achieved sales of Rs.220.000 Millions in Q4 as compared to Rs. 210.000 Millions in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The business had to be curtailed on account of delayed export shipments and power shortages in Hyderabad since July 2012. For the year the turnover was Rs. 780.000 Millions (Previous Year : Rs.890.000 Millions ) due to several mining sites being closed on account of regulatory issues.


The introduction of electronic programmable detonators in the market last year resulted in orders from large mining companies and extensive field trials with other mining organizations. The trials have proven the detonators to be capable of precision blasting at sites near to habitats besides being eco-friendly thereby resulting in low noise and vibration levels with increased productivity by parameters.


New products have been developed for boostering and metal forming applications for commercial manufacture, and high energetic materials for defense applications.


MINING AND INFRASTRUCTURE DIVISION (IDLCONSULT):


IDLconsult Division reported a service income of Rs 100.000 Millions in Q4 of 2012-13 as against Rs 160.000 Millions in 2011-12.

 

Volumes have reduced for the year due to the continued closure of the iron ore and manganese mines in Orissa where our major clients, the mine lessees are awaiting fresh clearances from various statutory Departments to restart their mines. The Government is expected to be focused towards Mining in the coming months to revive this sector.

GULF OIL NET PROFIT UP 15% IN Q3


08 FEBRUARY 2013


HIGHLIGHTS FOR Q3


- Turnover up 2.5%


- Operating Profit increase 26% QoQ


Mumbai, 8th February 2013: Gulf Oil Corporation Limited, a Hinduja Group Company, has reported a 25% increase in Profit from Operations before Interest and Exceptional Items for Q3 at Rs.150.000 Millions as against Rs.120.000 Millions in the same quarter last year.


DIVISION WISE PERFORMANCE AND HIGHLIGHTS ARE AS UNDER:


LUBRICANTS DIVISION:


The Lubricants Division achieved a turnover for the quarter of Rs. 2310.000 Millions as compared to Rs. 2130.000 Millions in the corresponding quarter of the previous year i.e. a growth of 9% on QoQ basis amid tight market conditions. Operational Profit before Interest and Tax for the quarter has also gone up by 11% to Rs. 290.000 Millions compared to Rs. 260.000 Millions in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.


The Division faced subdued market conditions and low industrial growth which resulted in drop in OEM sales and severe competition from key competitors in the areas of motorcycle oils and diesel engine oils with aggressive pricing and promotion. Lubricants consumption was also impacted due to slowdown in the industrial, mining and infrastructure sectors.


In spite of the above, the Division increased its market share in motorcycle oil segment through increased distribution reach; and in the diesel engine oil segment through the introduction of new product targeted at the Tata vehicles segment.


EXPLOSIVES DIVISION:

 

The Explosives Division handling the detonators business, achieved sales of Rs. 170.000 Millions in Q3 as compared to Rs. 200.000 Millions in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The decrease was on account of reduced export shipments and power shortages faced by the converters in Hyderabad and low demand from the mining and infra sectors.


MINING AND INFRASTRUCTURE DIVISION (IDLCONSULT):


The Mining and Infrastructure Division achieved revenue of Rs 45.000 Millions in Q3 as compared to Rs. 120.000 Millions in the corresponding quarter of the last year. Continued closure and slow down of the major iron ore and manganese mines of our clients in the Orissa due to various environmental and other statutory reasons have affected the performance in Q3.

 

However, around the end of Q3 the Division started working at a new iron ore mine of Adhunik Group in Orissa. Also the Patmunda manganese mine in Orissa is expected to start operating after a long closure of more than one year from January 2013 onwards. The Division is pursuing various mining and irrigation project opportunities in various states.

 Work on the Rs.18000.000 Millions project at Yelahanka, Bangalore, consisting of a 30 acre IT / ITES SEZ park and a 10 acre Hotel / Hospitality / Retail areas being developed in association with Hinduja Realty Ventures Limited, is continuing. Foundation work on the first building in SEZ sector is progressing well. Bulk materials such as aggregates, cement, steel, etc. have been procured after receiving tax and duty exemption. Erection and testing of the batching plant completed.


Infrastructure works such as signal-free expressways from Hebbal and Yelahanka to Bangalore Airport, are expected to be completed by mid 2014, providing excellent and fast access to our project site. This will give a boost to the real estate developments in North Bangalore, the emerging growth corridor.

For the Hyderabad property, where the Company has entered into a Development Agreement with Hinduja Estates Private Limited, work by GHMC on the 100 feet road passing through the Company’s property, is about 70% complete. In the meantime, investments in developments outside the Company premises, abutting the new 100-feet road, are increasing rapidly. As a result of this infrastructure initiative of the Government and as per reports from leading property consultants, Kukatpally will witness higher demand in the near future.
