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.

OVERVIEW OF ECONOMY
Global Economy
The global economy
went through yet another year of challenges in 2012. As per the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) World Economic Outlook, April 2013, world economic growth
hit a low of 3.2 percent in 2012, plummeting from 4.0 percent in 2011. Euro
Zone crisis remained a matter of major concern, with most of the economies in
the region trapped in a vicious cycle of high unemployment, financial sector
fragility, heightened sovereign risks, fiscal austerity and low growth.
Continued economic
slowdown in the United States, Europe and Japan had an impact on emerging
economies due to a weak demand for their exports. As a consequence, the real
GDP growth in emerging and developing economies slowed to 5.1 percent for the
year. IMF forecasts growth in emerging market and developing economies to reach
5.3 percent in 2013, and 5.7 percent in 2014. Growth in the US is forecast to
be 1.9 percent in 2013 and 3.0 percent in 2014. In contrast, growth in the Euro
area is forecast to be negative 0.3 percent in 2013 and 1.1 percent in 2014.
Indian Economy
In the wake of the
worsening global economic situation, the Indian economy continued to experience
a slowdown in its activity during the year gone by, growing at 5.0 percent in
FY 13 as compared to 6.2 percent in FY 12. Depreciating rupee, higher fiscal
deficit and worsening current account deficit continued to be the major
concerns for the Government. The Reserve
Bank of India’s (RBI) tight monetary policy to contain inflation adversely
affected the overall investment climate as also the supply side in the country.
On the demand side, consumer sentiment continued to be weak, impacting India’s
consumer-led growth story. However, the outlook for the Indian economy continues
to be promising in the medium to long term. According to economists, with
inflation already showing signs of cooling off, the central bank could announce
rate cuts in FY 14.
The World Bank has
projected 6.1 percent growth for the Indian economy in FY 14, stating that the
Indian economy would slowly recover to high long-term growth as the economy
comes back on track due to strong domestic demand, vibrant savings and
investments. Growth is further expected to increase to 6.7% in 2014-2015, as
per the World Bank.
MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY
Sustaining
momentum
The CY 2012
continued to be a tough period for the Indian Media and Entertainment Industry.
As per FICCI KPMG Indian Media and Entertainment Industry Report 2013,
advertising revenues touched Rs.327 Billion during CY 2012, growing at a slower
rate of 9 percent.
In comparison, the
growth rate was 13 percent in CY 2011 and 17 percent in CY 2010. Overall, the
industry grew to Rs.821 Billion in CY 2012 as against Rs.728 Billion in CY
2011, registering a growth of 12.6 percent.
However, medium
term growth outlook continues to be promising for the industry, backed by an
overall healthy economic environment. Consequently, advertising revenues are expected
to grow at a CAGR of 14 percent to reach Rs.630 Billion by 2017. The M and E
sector is projected to grow at CAGR of 15.2 percent to reach Rs.1661 Billion by
CY 2017, with overall revenue expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.2 percent during
the same period.
Print Media
Print media
continues to grow in India unlike in most other countries, dominating the
Indian media landscape with a 46 percent share in the total advertising revenue
in CY 2012. However, the sector’s advertising revenues grew at a slower rate of
7.6 percent in CY 2012, reaching Rs.150 Billion, as compared to a growth rate
of nearly 11 percent in CY 2011. With more than 82,000 registered newspapers
and Rs.224 Billion in total revenues, newspapers form a dominant 94 percent
share of the entire print Industry, with the balance 6 percent coming from
magazines. The Indian print industry continues to be an exciting long-term
story. There are distinct opportunities in the form of next phase growth
engines, viz. growth in Tier II, Tier III cities, growing literacy, growth in
Hindi and regional languages, to mention a few. Consequently, the industry is
expected to grow at a CAGR of 9 percent over the next five years.
Digital Media
The Indian digital
advertising segment has been gradually increasing its share in the advertising
pie of the Indian MandE industry. Its share in the overall advertisement spends
for the industry increased from 5.1 percent in CY 2011 to 6.6 percent in CY
2012. The segment’s advertising revenues grew to Rs.21.7 Billion in CY 2012 as
against Rs.15.4 Billion in CY 2011, registering an impressive growth of 40.9
percent. This growth is likely to continue, with revenue estimated to reach
Rs.87.2 Billion in CY 2017, growing at a CAGR of 32.1 percent. This growth is
expected to be backed primarily by higher internet penetration, leading to a
shift in consumers’ media consumption habits in favour of digital media. As per
current estimates, internet penetration in India continues to be much lower as
compared with developed nations like the US and France, as well as some Asian
countries like Hong Kong.
Radio
Radio in India is
set for its next phase of expansion with the roll-out of new licenses in 294
cities across the country, as announced by the Finance Minister in his Union
Budget speech of 2013-14.
The industry had a
muted growth of 10.4 percent in CY 2012, reaching revenues of Rs.12.7 Billion
as against Rs.11.5 Billion in CY 2011. The growth was mainly driven by volume
improvements as prices largely stayed stagnant. There were some profitability
improvements in the industry on account of increasing cost discipline and
reduction in royalty costs due to approval of Copyright Amendment Bill, in May
2012.
The industry is
forecast to grow at a CAGR of 10 percent till the Phase III stations start
operations (expected in CY 2014). Post Phase III, the industry is likely to
grow at a CAGR of 21 percent. Consequently, Radio’s share in total
advertisement spends is expected to increase to 4.3 percent in CY 2017 from the
present 3.9 percent, according to the FICCI-KPMG report.
REVIEW OF
OPERATIONS
Backed by
strategic and operational initiatives, HT Media, one of India’s foremost media
companies, performed well across its segments – Print, Radio, Digital,
Education and Mobile – during the year.
In the Print business, its newspapers – Hindustan Times, Hindustan and
Mint - continued to grow and expand. The newspapers retained their committed
readership and also added more readers to their respective portfolios. This was
endorsed by the growth in their circulation revenues; Hindustan Times reported
a 13 percent increase, mainly on account of increase in cover price across
geographies.
The Company’s
Radio business also progressed well and its FM Radio Stations, Fever 104,
posted healthy growth in profitability.
The Online
business, operated through the Company’s subsidiary Firefly e-Ventures Limited,
also showed positive results during the year .
FUTURE OUTLOOK
The outlook for the
coming year looks promising on the back of growth in existing and new
businesses. While their brand strength shall remain the key to their future
growth, the Company shall also continue to look for pioneering innovations
across its businesses. HT Mumbai, Hindustan in U.P., Radio, Education and
Digital businesses are expected to continue their growth trajectory, along with
a strong focus on cost optimization to improve profitability. The Company’s
strong financial position further enables it to explore growth opportunities
within and outside the media space.
JOINT VENTURE COMPANY
India Education Services Private Limited (IESPL)
IESPL is a 50:50 joint venture between the Company and a major US-based 'for profit' education company which aims to set up, operate and maintain state private universities and other educational institutions in one or more states in India. During the year, IESPL commenced the execution work on setting up of two higher education learning centers in Delhi NCR.

MOST COMPETITIVE STATES 2013
A Mint and Institute of Competitiveness Initiative 26 June, 2013
State competitiveness is one of the most definitive indices for tracking
the development of individual states. Not only does it capture state challenges
and objectives, but it also brings forth relative strengths.
Mint,
in association with the Institute for Competitiveness has ranked states on
macroeconomic parameters such as financial performance, business incentives
innovation, income distribution and administrative policies using the
international Michael Porter model in order to identify their prosperity levels
and their contribution in the country's growth.
The
event recognizes leading states of India and brings together state heads on a
common platform to share opinions and define the roadmap for the progress of
the states.
Hon'ble Shri M Hamid Ansari, Vice President of India, who was the Chief
Guest at the event, said, "Moreover, the socio-economic indicators vary
significantly from state to state and from region to region within the same
state. This sub-national diversity can be explained to a degree by various
natural, historical and contemporary factors. Otherwise, economic and social
inequality at sub-national scale will become a potent threat to our political
union and could also disrupt societal harmony in our Republic. It is in this
context, that the contents of the India State Competitiveness Report 2013 become
relevant and important."
With
many State Heads in attendance, The Most Competitive States 2013 recognized the
top states in the following categories:
·
City States
·
Innovation Driven Economies
·
Transition Economies
·
Investment Driven Economies
·
Changeover Economies
·
Factor Driven Economies
While receiving the award for the best City State, Hon'ble Chief
Minister Shri Sheila Dikshit said, "Our philosophy has been when you see
things happening and when you feel things happening, that is the success of any
government. I want to say humbly that we managed to achieve that to some extent
because our social sector expenditure is best in the whole country. We spend
75% of our budget on the social sector."
Talking about
Madhya Pradhesh as the best Changeover Economy, Hon'ble Chief Minister of
Madhya Pradesh, Shri Shivraj Singh Chauhan said, "I come from the state
which was once called BIMARU. I am happy to tell you that for seven successive
years, Madhya Pradesh is growing at double digits rate. In every sector such as
in infrastructure, power, agriculture and attracting investment to the state,
we have taken many initiatives. We have also focused on skill development
because we want to make our human resources our strength not our
weakness."
This was the second addition of the Most Competitive States by Mint, in
association with the Institute for Competitiveness.
Below is the list
of winning states under each category:
City States
Innovation Driven
Economies
