INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

RELIANCE FOOTPRINT EYES 15% MARKET SHARE BY 2017: CEO

THU, JUL 26 2012

Bangalore: Reliance Footprint, a unit of Reliance Retail Ltd owned by Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries Ltd, is aiming for a 15% share of the country’s fast-growing footwear market by 2017. It now has less than a 5% share.

“We want to have a meaningful market share in five years,” chief executive Gopalakrishnan Sankar said on Thursday after the launch of the company’s 100th store in Kerala. Reliance Footprint launched its first store in late 2007 in Bangalore. Sankar said the company will expand its store base at a faster clip in the next few years as it looks to focus more on growing sales and volumes than generating profits.

“We are a young company and focus is more on customer acquisitions, customer service. And if you have a good model profits will come. We are also a profitable format (at the company level),” he said.

The Indian footwear industry will reach about Rs.200000.000 millions in value by 2013, and then grow to nearly Rs 340000.000 millions by 2017, according to Reliance Footprint’s estimates. The market is dominated by Bata India, whose more than 1,300 stores generate annual sales of at least Rs.15000.000 millions.

Sankar declined to disclose Reliance Footprint’s sales, only saying it was growing faster than the market. Reliance Footprint is part of Reliance Retail, which turned in sales of nearly Rs.76000.000 millions in the year ended 31 March.

Analyst Naveen Vyas at Microsec Capitals Ltd was skeptical if Reliance Footprint would be able to meet its target. “The footwear space is getting more and more crowded. And Bata dominates the market. They have the most brand recall by far among consumers. I don’t think Bata and others are too worried right now by Reliance Footprint,” Vyas said.

In the footwear business, Reliance Retail has partnership agreements with foreign shoe and apparel makers such as US-based Timberland and Steve Madden. However, products from these companies are not sold through Reliance Footprint stores.

“We feel Timberland is an expensive brand for our positioning. We are mid-to-premium. I see Timberland as more than premium. We have a partnership with (Japan’s) ASICS. But whether we have a partnership or not, we will still have the right brands in our stores,” Sankar said.

RELIANCE FOOTPRINT PLANS MAJOR EXPANSION

Mumbai, Maharashtra, March 12, 2010 /India PRwire/ -- Reliance Footprint - the footwear arm of Reliance Retail Group, is eying major expansion. Gopalakrishnan Sankar, chief executive, Reliance Footprint says, "The places where we are set to open our stores include Jabalpur, Amritsar, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Belgaum, Vijayawada, Mysore, Coimbatore, Gurgaon, Raipur, Mumbai, Bhubaneshwar."

Reliance Footprint recently launched its 4,500 square feet store in Bangalore at Mantri Square mall. "We can't specify the exact amount but generally speaking the costs can vary anywhere between Rs.1,500 per sq.ft to Rs.2,000 per sq.ft on carpet area," informs Sankar. "We are targeting to achieve a 15 per cent market share in the organised footwear market in the next five years."

The rapid expansion of Reliance Footprint in India is a testimony to the fact that Reliance Footprint's products and services have been appreciated by its customers. An inaugural offer of upto 60 per cent discount is being offered to the customers on their purchases at Reliance Footprint during the launch period.

Reliance Footprint offers a wide variety of footwear and other consumer commodities including handbags and accessories together with a line-up of international brands from America and Europe. Reliance Footprint offers a troupe of various categories like casuals, formals, casual sports, comfort wear, kids wear and home wear. Reliance Footprint also engages in selling private labels and is also coming up with specially crafted footwear for people with foot deformities. Reliance Footprint is aiming at a share of about 10-12 percent in the entire footwear industry in a time span of a few years.
