INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit or CAD in April-June widened to 4.9 % of gross domestic product. High imports of gold and oil led to a worsening of the traqde deficit, resulting in CAD jumping to $ 21.8 billion to the latest quarter from $ 16.9 billion in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year. The government aims to bring down CAD to 3.7 % or $ 70 billion, in 2013/14, from 4.8 % or $ 88.2 billion in 2012/13.

 

The finance ministry has started preparations for Budget 2014/15. With general elections scheduled to be held by May next year, there will only be an interim budget. The new government will present the fiscal Budget.

 

The Supreme Court has barred clinical trials for new drugs till a monitoring mechanism is put in place to protect the lives of people on which the drugs are tested.

 

Mumbai has been named the world’s second most honest city according to a survey on 15 cities worldwide by Readers’ Digest magazine. Finnish capital Helsinki bagged the top spot for the world’s most honest city while Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, proved to be the least honest.  The survey put hundreds of people to test in four continents to find out just how honest they were by dropping wallets and seeing how many would be returned.

 

3.7 % Growth of the core sector in August, a seven month high. This takes the overall growth in April-August this year to 2.3 % compared with 6.3 % in the corresponding period next financial year.

 

$19 million Estimated average spending by companies across the globe including India, on social media this year, according to a global study by information technology major Tata Consultancy Services. This will rise to $ 24 million in 2015.

 

Rising inflation, fewer employment avenues and dwindling earnings are taking a toll on the spending capacity in India. Over 72 % respondents from middle and lower middle income families would be forced to slash their Diwali expenditure by 40 % and on average spend nearly 25 % of their monthly salary on Diwali, according to a survey by Assochem.

 

Analysts believe the shutdown of the US government would have limited impact in sectors such as IT or tourism that are dependent on Visa clearances.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

The Company witnessed a sales growth of 6.2% over previous year 2011. The overall slowdown in economy in domestic and export market impacted the Company both in automotive and non-automotive sales. The domestic market grew by 8.4% and the export market declined by 9.1%. In the challenging environment, the Company was still able to achieve 16.0% profit before tax on sales. However, this was 385 basis points below the previous year 2011.

 

Diesel systems business declined by 0.9%, due to decline in exports by 39.6%, which was offset to some extent by growth in domestic market. The diesel systems business continues to ride heavily on growth in passenger car and utility vehicle segment and LCV segment with focus on new generation common rail systems (CRS). Starter Motor and Generator business witnessed an impressive growth of 51.1% over previous year 2011. Export business for the division grew significantly by 173%.

 

The Automotive Aftermarket business registered a modest growth of 9.6% in spite of subdued demand witnessed due to higher interest rates. Gasoline business declined by 9.4% due to increased diesel share in Passenger Car.

Packaging Technology business grew by 8.7%. Growth was primarily driven by Confectionery and Pharma segments. Packaging Technology division completed construction of new manufacturing facility and started operating from July 2012. Security Technology business grew by 31.4%. Prosound system and Video system majorly contributed for the growth. Power Tools business registered a growth of 16.7% with high contributions from all its major business segments like Power Tools, Accessories, Spares and Lawn and Garden equipment.

 

Power Tools business launched over 100 new innovative products / variants and launched its "Bosch at Home" initiative aimed at the Do-It-Yourself segment. The year also saw the launch of professional range of “High Pressure Washers" aimed at the Industrial Segment. New business Solar Energy and Thermo Technology launched their products in 2011 and started commercial operation in 2012 with a new contract manufacturing facility in Bangalore. During the year the Company acquired Service Solution business division of SPX India Private Limited.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The global economy has shown some signs of stabilisation although the situation remains volatile. While economic activity is picking up in the US, nearterm forecasts for Euro region are still weak. Weak external demand and a risk- averse sentiment are preventing emerging and developing economies from returning back immediately to a higher growth trajectory.

 

Currency fluctuation was the global theme in 2012 based on events like the US “Fiscal Cliff”. The BRIC economies saw the biggest currency depreciation since 1998 on weaker prospects for growth. Compared to 6.5 percent in 2011-12, the Indian economy is projected to grow at a lower than expected 5.5 percent in 2012-13. The twin deficits of fiscal account and current account are the main causes for concern. While there is an expectation of improvement in the fiscal account as a result of the recent reform measures announced by the Government, the current account deficit continues to be at uncomfortably high levels.

 

The recent moves of the Government to encourage foreign inflows and disincentivise gold imports are expected to improve the situation but strong steps still need to be taken to reduce the trade gap.

 

Weaker currency and higher domestic inflation are putting pressure on input costs on the supply side and higher interest rates on the demand side. With the Reserve Bank of India now focusing on growth, there is an expectation of an improvement in the demand situation.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

After witnessing a decline in 2009, auto component industry growth bounced back strongly in the year 2010 and 2011. However, the growth momentum slackened in 2012 on account of economic slowdown. Auto sales were restrained by higher interest rates, higher fuel prices, higher inflation, monsoon deficiency, rupee depreciation, etc.

 

In spite of depreciation in the rupee, the export market growth declined due to slow down in world economy. Volatile labour situation at some parts of country also impacted the industry.

 

Indian Automotive Industry witnessed an overall production volume growth of 2% in 2012 over the high growth achieved in 2010 and 2011.

 

Across the segment, Utility Vehicle (UV) led the pack in the year 2012 by a strong 32% growth. Growth wasdriven by continued demand for commercial usage (IT, ITES, BPO, Hotels) and shift from Sedan to UV. Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) production volume grew by 5% over previous year 2011. Continued retail sector growth and rural growth mainly contributed to LCV growth.

 

Heavy Commercial Vehicle (HCV) production volume declined by 12%. High interest rates, stagnant freight rates, decline in mining sector and slowdown in infrastructure projects contributed to lower demand for Heavy Commercial Vehicle.

 

Passenger Cars (PC) production volume growth was subdued. Despite the festive season and new launches, the production volume growth was 2% due to high interest rates and volatile fuel prices.

 

Tractor production volume declined by 7% compared to previous year 2011. Tractors achieved all time record high growth of 24% in the year 2011. Delay and deficiency in monsoon, slow down in infrastructure projects, etc. amounted to lower demand in this segment.

 

Three wheeler production volumes declined by 5%. Domestic sales growth was flat. The reduction is mainly on account of lower demand from export segment.

 

both in automotive and non-automotive sales. The domestic market grew by 8.4% and the export market declined by 9.1%.

OUTLOOK

 

The global economy is still in an uncertain phase as most nations continue to face challenges of growth and unemployment.

 

The outlook for GDP growth in India has been on reducing trend for 2012-13 (less than 5.5%) from much higher projections at the start of the year indicating that economic issues need to be addressed on an basis. The recent policy initiatives by the Government and further reforms should help to boost business sentiment and improve the investment climate. As regards domestic inflation, excess capacity in some sectors is working towards moderating wholesale inflation while consumer inflation continues to remain a challenge.

 

The key challenges for the Indian economy this year would be to revive demand, to fast-track infrastructure projects, to improve electricity generation and increase industrial production.

·         Profit before tax at 15.4 percent of sales for the third quarter

·         Non-automotive business continues its growth momentum into the third quarter

Profit After Tax (PAT) is Rs. 2340.000 Millions, registering a growth of 15.5 percent over the same period of 2012. Exports increased by 19.5 percent in the same period mainly reflecting the depreciation in the rupee over the year.

 

“As anticipated, our current third quarter results are better than the previous year, as performance in the third quarter of 2012 had been sluggish. However, weak consumer demand, currency impact and further slowdown in the automotive market has led to a decline compared to previous quarter results.” said Dr. Steffen Berns, Managing Director, Bosch Limited, announcing the company’s quarterly results.

 

For the nine months ended September 2013, Bosch Limited registered an overall growth of 1.7 percent on net sales and income from operations at Rs. 65640.000 Millions. In the automotive segment, Starter Motors and Generators continued its strong double digit growth; Aftermarket managed a modest growth and Diesel Systems declined due to weak demand in the commercial vehicle and passenger car segment.

 

The non-automotive segment, including Power Tools, Packaging Technology and Energy Business continued its good growth during the nine months ended September 2013. These divisions have been gradually increasing their presence in the Indian market.

 

“Our effort to improve operational efficiency has continued to yield positive results in difficult market environment. During festive season consumer sentiment is expected to improve, but this will not be sufficient to generate a turnaround in the overall business situation. In spite of the current challenges, we continue to prepare ourselves for expected mid- and long-term growth through our investments in facilities and new product developments, coupled with continued cost optimization.” Dr. Berns added.
