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 year despite the challenges has been a satisfactory one for the Corporation.

 

The Corporation has achieved a turnover of Rs. 2435.500 Millions and higher operating profit before tax of Rs. 180.100 Millions compared to Rs. 118.500 Millions in the previous year. 

 

The results are strictly not comparable with those of previous year in view of the mid term discontinuation of two businesses viz. BCL Springs and Sunmica in the previous year. Further, current year includes results of Auto ancillary business under Electromags division on amalgamation of erstwhile Electromags Automative Products Private Limited (EAPL) with the Corporation.

 

During the year, the performance of Tea Division was adversely affected due to erratic weather conditions which resulted in lower production and lower sales compared to the previous year. However, higher average price realization of Tea contributed to reduce the adverse impact on profitability. The Coffee Division with favourable prices and increased volumes contributed substantially to improve the profitability and performance of the Plantation Division.

 

Health Care Division reported healthy growth in sales and profit over the previous year with successful launch of new Dental products.

 

Auto Ancillary business under Electromags Division achieved higher profits compared to previous year on account of reduction in overheads despite slow down in auto sector.

 

 

DIVISIONWISE PERFORMANCE:

 

A)      SOUTH INDIA ESTATES:

(i)      Tea :

 

The production for the year was lower at 7.842 Millions kgs. as against 8.465 Millions kgs. for 2011-12 due to low rainfall at Singampatti Estate and almost drought like conditions and uniformly low rainfall at other Estates. Sales

Turnover however was higher at Rs. 830.100 Millions compared to Rs. 751.500 Millions of the previous year due to increase in average selling prices.

 

(ii)    Coffee –

 

Production for the year, including outsourced beans was 2,399 Tonnes as against 1,640 Tonnes for the year 2011-12. This was due to higher sourcing of Bought Beans from the current season’s crop during November, 2012 to March, 2013 which will be available for sale in the coming year.

 

Sales turnover was higher at Ra. 284.600 Millions as against Rs. 2.437 Millions in the previous year. Sales volume, however, was at the same level at 1,680 Tonnes as against 1,683 Tonnes in the previous year.

 

B)      TANZANIAN ESTATES:

 

The crop for the year was lower at 0.814 Million kgs. as against 0.922 Million kgs. in 2011-12. Sales were at Rs. 54.200 Millions as against Rs. 51.900 Millions in the previous year.

 

C)      ELECTROMAGS DIVISION:

 

The turnover for the year was marginally lower at Rs.  1059.100 Millions as against Rs. 1086.300 Millions for 2011-12. Although the auto sector witnessed a slow down during the year, the reduction in overheads and better cost control enabled the division to achieve higher profits as compared to the previous year.

 

D)      HEALTHCARE DIVISION:

 

The turnover for the year was RS. 180.400 Millions as against Rs. 154.300 Millions for 2011-12. This was due to higher sales of own manufactured products, mainly Dental alloys, despite the discontinuation of some traded products.Dental Products of India Division is the market leader in Dental alloy business in India.

 

E)      WEIGHING PRODUCTS DIVISION:

 

Sale of balances for the year under review was Rs. 23.400 Millions as against Rs. 23.100 Millions for 2011-12. The Division continued to operate  profitably

 

F)      REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT:

 

The Corporation is examining various options for development of properties at Kanjur Marg in Mumbai and at Coimbatore under Real Estate Division. The Corporation is also considering development of a small part of Coffee Estate at Coorg as a “Destination” under Hospitality sector.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS:

 

The overall Indian Crop for the calendar year 2012 was flat at 1,111.76 million kgs. vs. 1,115.72 million kgs.

in 2011. While North Indian crop was higher by 4.53 million kgs South Indian crop was lower by 8.49 million kgs.

 

In the global scenario, Sri Lankan and Kenyan crops were marginally lower as compared to previous year. Export of Indian tea upto December, 2012 at 156.38 million kgs. was lower by 13.27 million kgs. vis-a-vis previous year. South Indian tea exports were significantly lower at 60.20 million kgs. as compared to 75.98 million kgs. in the previous year.

 

Import of tea upto December, 2012 was at 16.94 million kgs. which was 5.26% lower than the previous year. Domestic consumption of tea as estimated by Tea Board for financial year 2012-13 was approx. 890 million kgs.

 

Owing to inclement weather, the crop pattern altered during the year – while there was a huge inflow of crop in the first quarter, the latter half of the year had extremely low crops. This led to dwindling of buffer /pipeline

stocks and sharp market response from major packers leading to an upsurge in domestic prices. Exports declined with most markets being out-priced by the strong domestic demand.

 

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS:

 

Good rainfall in the first half of FY 2012-2013 was followed by drought conditions in the second half, thereby resulting in lower production of tea by 7.2% as compared to the previous year. Consequently, the overall tea sales were lower by 7.13% in terms of volume. However, the average price realization was 19.51% higher in the current year mainly aided by higher domestic prices.

 

Domestic Sales: Lower crops reflected in lower quantities available for sale and domestic volumes declined by 11.83%. The sales through our Depots reduced by 23.57% in terms of volume and increased by 27.75% in terms of average price realisations Quantity sold through auctions increased by 4.84% and the average price was higher by 22.66%.

 

OUTLOOK:

 

Unpredictable weather conditions and the resulting inconsistent supply from the planting districts around India resulted in the drying up of pipeline stocks. This decline is directly reflected in higher pressure on better liquoring teas, which are attracting strong demand from major Packers and Bazaar buyers. Medium and plainer teas however may get neglected. Besides the rising prices in the domestic markets, political turmoil which continues in the major teadrinking countries in the Middle East and northern Africa will put considerable pressure on Indian exports, particularly from South India.

 

Moreover, ocean freights which have been on an increase in the recent times could also put further pressure on Indian exports.General shortage of good liquoring teas in the market and our continuous endeavours in upgrading the quality

of our produce will work to the advantage of the Corporation in terms of tapping quality- sensitive markets. The growing awareness of the health benefits of Organic teas is expected to improve demand for the Organic teas pioneered by the Corporation.
