INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The current downturn provides an opportunity to push ahead with reforms to accelerate growth, says the latest India Development Update report released by the World Bank. The report says that the adverse effects of rupee depreciation are likely to be offset by the gains in the exports performance due to improved external competitiveness. Since May this year, the local currency has depreciated substantially and fell to a record level of Rs 68.85 to a dollar on August, 28.

 

A stagflation like situation appears to have arisen as inflation jumped to an eight month high of 6.46 % for the month of September. It is up from 6.10 % in August. Growth continues to be muted with factory output plunging to 0.6  % in August. Onion prices have risen nearly 300 % from last September. Vegetables cost nearly 90 % more than they did last year. Wake up to the economic contribution of slum dwellers. They contribute more than 7.5 % to the country’s gross domestic product, according to a recent study conducted in 50 top cities.

 

136000 estimated number of jobs created during the second quarter of the current financial year. 50000 estimated number of additional jobs in the field of corporate social responsibility in the coming years.

 

The International Finance Corporation expects to come out with its rupee linked bonds issue before the end of 2013 as a part of its plan to raise $ 1 billion. The Apple iPhone 5c (Rs 41900 for 16 GB variant) and 5s (Rs 53500 for 16GB variant) has been launched in India from 1st November.

 

The Land Acquisition Act to provide just and fair compensation to farmers will come into force from January 1 next year, said Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh. The Act replaces a 119 year old registration. The Securities and Exchange Board of India has approved the trading of currency futures on the Bombay Stock Exchange. The exchange plans to launch the currency futures platform with advanced trading technology by the end of November.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

The Company sold 2131 Mln. Pcs. of Carbon Rods, as against 1409 Mln. Pcs., which is 151% of Sales of last year. The Domestic Sales Quantity and Value were 1110 Mln. Pcs. and Rs.172.000 Millions, which works out to 98% and 104% respectively of the Sales of last year. The drop in Domestic Sales was mainly on account of continuous steep reduction in UM-1 variety of carbon rods used in D size batteries. Though the total quantity is less compared to last year, the value is higher due to marginal revision of price of UM-3 Carbon Rods.

 

The Export Sales Quantity and value were 1021 Mln. Pcs. and Rs. 179.100 which compared to last year’s quantity of 270.7 Mln. Pcs. and Rs. 55.900 which. Compared to last year, export sales quantity works out to 377% and value 320%. As informed last year, The Company could stabilize the exports to Panasonic Group Battery Factories in Poland, Peru, Costa Rica, Thailand and Indonesia and achieve the above growth.

 

The steep increase in prices of some of the Raw Materials and fuel have resulted in increase in production cost considerably. Further during this year, due to power shortage in the State of Andhra Pradesh, where the factory is located, the Government has imposed a power cut of 52%. Hence, the Company was forced to use Generator for the balance requirement, but it costs more than three times the Government supplied power. However by restructuring the process operation timings and increasing productivity the impact was minimised to the maximum extent. The increase in profitability for the current year is mainly due to increased export sales in respect of orders from Panasonic Battery Companies and third parties and by the various cost control measures initiated.

 

OUTLOOK ON OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS, RISKS AND CONCERNS

 

The Company has higher production capacity to meet any increased demand of Carbon rods in the Domestic and International Markets in the years to come. The Company’s finished product (Carbon Rods) is being supplied as a critical component to the Indian Dry Battery Industry, which is projecting a growth of 1% to 2% in the current year in smaller size Batteries. Accordingly, The Company is also hopeful in maintaining the Domestic Sales by maintaining the quality and timely supply.

PANASONIC CARBON EYES 200% GROWTH IN EXPORTS

JULY 21, 2012

 

Panasonic Carbon India Company Limited, in which Japanese major Panasonic Corporation has a majority stake, is expecting a 200 per cent growth in exports in future.

 

The company’s two major varieties of carbon rods, a component of dry cell batteries, have passed the quality tests conducted by the Panasonic Group factories in Poland, Peru, Costa Rica, Thailand and Indonesia.

 

The Japanese major has so far been importing carbon rods from its facility in Taiwan for these facilities and the decision to shift sourcing to Chennai is expected to help the Indian firm to benefit from exports, according to a company source. The growth in exports would be achieved according to the projection on demand from the facilities over a period of time.

 

“As the prices also were found to be competitive compared to Chinese competitors, the company’s export is estimated to grow by more than 200 per cent,” according to the company’s annual report 2011-12.

 

A trial run to test the feasibility of exports from India has been conducted during the last financial year and the company has recently started container-level exports of carbon rods to these sites, said the company official.

 

The export sales is around 25 per cent of the total sales of the company. It has posted a net turnover of Rs 207.900 Millions for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, and the export of goods on a freight-on-board (FOB) basis was around Rs 54.700 Millions, which grew 39 per cent as compared to Rs 39.400 Millions posted during the previous year.

 

It has sold around 1,409 million pieces of carbon rods, as against 1,395 million pieces last year. The domestic sales quantity was around 1,138 million pieces, valued at Rs 165.000 Millions, which is less than last years' production. Exports posted 65 per cent increase in terms of volume, to 271 million pieces, during 2011-12.

 

Last fiscal, the company’s profitability was affected by the steep increase in raw material prices and fuel cost, which resulted in the increase in production costs, even though the company continued with cost saving, cost control and value engineering methods, the annual report added.

 

The company claims to the only firm manufacturing carbon rods in India to cater to the dry cell industry. With the technology changes and more equipment which once used dry cells shifting to other means, the growth in dry cell industry is minimal, said the company official.

 

Panasonic Carbon’s finished product, carbon rods, is being supplied as a critical component to the Indian dry battery industry, which is projecting a growth of 2-3 per cent in the current year in smaller size batteries.

 

It may be noted that in June 2012, Panasonic Corporation has acquired 6,02,340 shares in Panasonic Carbon India Limited, which is around 12.55 per cent of the total shares of the listed company, from another promoter, P Dwarakanath Reddy for a total amount of Rs 87.900 Millions.

 

With the off-market transaction, Panasonic Corporation has increased its stake from 50.72 per cent of the total shares of the company to 63.27 per cent, according to a company filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange.
