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.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

 

During the year 2011-12, the Company registered modest growth in turnover as compared to previous year. However the profit after tax has significantly gone down due to increase in financial cost and depreciation. The primary reason affecting the growth during the year were – (i) unfavourable economic conditions affecting demand for automobiles and (ii) Labour unrest in the Manesar plant of Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) resulting into loss of production.

 

The financial year 2012-13 does not seems to be better as Government is unable to contain inflation, rupee has depreciated against dollar at record low levels, paralysis in Government decision making, petrol price hike and vast difference in diesel and petrol price and global uncertainty.

 

AWARDS / ACCOLADES

 

The Company won the following awards from MSIL for the year:

 

·         Overall Silver Award;

·         Spare Nagare Schedule Adherence Award;

·         Special Support Award;

·         Certificate for recognition of sincere efforts and superior performance in the field of ‘VA-VE’;

·         Certificate for recognition of sincere efforts and superior performance in the field of ‘Capacity Enhancement’

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

OVERVIEW

 

GLOBAL ECONOMY AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

2011-12 represented a year of painful surprises for the world: sluggish global economic growth, political instability across the Middle East and North Africa, natural disasters in Japan, deepening European crisis and fragile US recovery. Although extensive liquidity infusions by the European Central Bank (ECB) have averted a major financial catastrophe in Europe with global implications, an acceptable solution to the Euro crisis is still not in sight.

 

As Europe looks up to Germany as its only saviour, the emerging economies are also witnessing economic hardships. The reason is simple: in an increasingly integrated world, economic shockwaves travel far and wide, affecting investor confidence and creating a cycle of low growth and unfulfilled aspirations. Besides, domestic policy tightening also played a part in smothering growth.

 

The number of cars manufactured worldwide has dropped significantly. According to some estimates, it is close to 30% in the two months following the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, because of supply-chain disruptions.

 

During the second quarter of 2011, oil prices briefly rose more than 25% above the levels that prevailed in January 2011. It is hard to determine the extent to which prices were driven up by stronger demand or by lower supply (for example, from Libya). Assuming that a significant share of the price hike reflected lower supply, it may have reduced output in advanced economies by Ľ to ˝ percentage point of GDP.

 

INDIAN ECONOMY

 

India’s economy has also started showing signs of fatigue, after years of sterling performance. It grew by 5.3% in the quarter ended March 2012, belying expectations. The Economic Outlook for 2011-12, released by the Government of India, pegs the country’s GDP growth rate for 2011-12 at 6.5% compared with 8.5% registered last year.

 

With agriculture and services continuing to perform well, India’s slowdown can be attributed almost entirely to weakening industrial growth. The index of industrial production (IIP) growth averaged 2.8% in 2011-12, compared with 8.2% in the previous fiscal year. The manufacturing sector grew by 2.7% and 0.4% in the second and third quarters of 2011-12, respectively. In March 2012 alone, industrial production contracted by 3.5%, dragging the cumulative factory output growth to the level 2008-09, the year of the global financial crisis.

 

In 2011-12, the inflation rate averaged 8.84%, compared with 9.57% a year ago. Further complicating policy choices for the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), headline inflation, riding on high food prices in April 2012, unexpectedly touched 7.23% from 6.89% a month ago. It further rose to 7.55% in May 2012 from 7.23% in April 2012, led by higher inflation, related to primary food and non-food products, along with fuel and power. This is a critical situation since the RBI has to perform the unenviable task of taming inflation, without compromising growth. With low expectations of a bountiful monsoon, food inflation may be difficult to manage.

 

The monetary policy was tightened by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), during the year to control inflation and curb inflationary expectations.

 

THE ROAD AHEAD

 

The global economy is expected to take some time to return to normalcy, as there are significant downside risks and fragility. The World Bank has predicted a modest global GDP growth of 2.5% in 2012, increasing to 3% in 2013 and 3.3% in 2014.

 

With dented investor confidence, capital flows to developing countries have declined by almost half, compared with last year. Europe appears to have hit a ceiling, as countries wrestle with each other for political and economic one-upmanship. The recession in Europe is expected to adversely impact developing countries, especially India, as the continent is India’s largest trading partner. Growth in several major developing countries (Brazil, India, and to a lesser extent Russia, South Africa and Turkey) has also slowed partly in response to domestic policy tightening. Considering the sluggish external market and global economic woes, China has also lowered its full-year growth target for 2012 to 7.5% in early March, after its economy grew 9.2% in 2011 from the previous year.

 

Growth in developed countries is now expected to touch 1.4% in 2012 (-0.3% for euro zone countries and 2.1% for the rest) and 2.0% in 2013. Developing country growth is expected to be 5.4% and 6.0% in 2012 and 2013 respectively.

 

Key drivers of stronger global growth include the rebound of activity in Japan, the drop in oil and food prices and solid demand growth in emerging markets.

 

THE INDIAN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

 

India, the world’s second fastest growing auto market, is also home to the sixth largest automobile industry after China, the US, Germany, Japan and Brazil. India’s car market is rapidly evolving, fuelled by rising consumer aspirations and earnings. A passenger vehicle or a commercial vehicle represents the aspirations and achievements of its owner. Hence, global auto giants are foraying into the Indian market, offering luxury, value, utility and convenience to the customer.

 

The automobile industry, one of the core sectors, has undergone metamorphosis with the advent of new businesses and manufacturing practices following liberalization and globalization. The Indian automobile market is gearing towards international standards to meet the needs of the global automobile giants and become a global hub.

 

Nevertheless, the industry reeled under various global and domestic macro-economic factors, which led to the conclusion that 2011-12 was a ‘Not So Good’ year, especially for the passenger car segment.

 

The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) had, in the beginning of the fiscal year 2011-12, forecasted a 16%-18% sales growth for passenger cars. This estimate was subsequently downgraded to 10%-12% in July 2011, and again downgraded to a modest 2%-4% in October 2011.

 

KEY STATISTICS FOR 2011-12*

 

PRODUCTION

 

The cumulative production data for April-March 2012 shows production growth of 13.83% over the same period last year. In March 2012 vis-a-vis March 2011, production grew 6.83%. In 2011-12, the industry produced 20,366,432  vehicles, of which the share of two wheelers, passenger vehicles, three wheelers and commercial vehicles were 76%, 15%, 4% and 4%, respectively.

 

DOMESTIC SALES

 

The growth rate for overall domestic sales for 2011-12 was 12.24% totaling 17,376,624 vehicles. In March 2012, domestic sales grew by 10.11%, compared to March 2011.

 

The passenger vehicles segment grew by 4.66% during April-March 2012 over the same period last year. Passenger cars grew by 2.19 %, utility vehicles grew by 16.47% and vans by 10.01% during this period. In March

2012, the domestic sales of passenger cars grew by 19.66% over the same month last year. Also, sales growth of total passenger vehicles in March 2012 touched 20.59% (compared to March 2011). For the first time in history, car sales crossed two million in a financial year.

 

The commercial vehicles segment registered 18.20% growth during April- March 2012, compared to the same period last year. While medium and heavy commercial vehicles (M&HCVs) registered 7.94% growth, light commercial vehicles grew by 27.36%. In March 2012, commercial vehicle sales grew by 4.82% over March 2011

 

EXPORTS

 

During April-March 2012, the industry exported 2,910,055 automobiles, registering 25.44% growth. The passenger vehicles segment grew by 14.18% in this period. Commercial vehicles, three wheelers and two wheelers segments grew 25.15%, 34.41% and 27.13%, respectively during April-March 2012. For the first time in history car exports crossed half a million in a financial year.

 

In March 2012, compared to March 2011, overall automobile exports grew 17.81%.

 

THE INDIAN AUTO COMPONENT INDUSTRY **

 

The Rs.1,600-billion Indian auto components industry has been witnessing a moderation in its revenue growth, since the beginning of this fiscal, following the deceleration in sales volume growth across all automobile segments. According to industry estimates, out of the total turnover of the Indian auto components industry, around 60% is derived from sales to domestic OEMs, around 25% comes from sales to the domestic replacement market and around 15% is derived from exports. While the long-term industry prospects remain strong, in line with the outlook for the OEM segment, it faces strong challenges (low-cost imports, currency volatility and the ability to invest in innovation) to be able to move up the value chain.

 

Since the beginning of this fiscal, the prices of key commodities have been softening, providing partial relief to the industry players, who had grappled with commodity cost pressures throughout 2010-11. However, it did not rein in the desired results due to inflation in other costs (employee costs, energy costs and other overhead expenses), which are generally not passed through to OEMs unlike raw material costs. Although international prices of key raw materials declined, the landed costs, however, stayed firm due to sharp depreciation of INR against US$ and

the industry’s margin expansion was constrained due to (a) weaker INR against US$ that negated the potential benefit arising from soft international commodity prices (b) weaker INR against JPY that increased the cost of imports for ancillaries that source component child parts and other inputs from Japan (c) combination of higher overhead costs and sluggish growth in supplies to domestic OEMs.

 

GROWTH DRIVERS OF THE INDIAN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

 

For any industry to succeed, it is important to recognize and leverage the factors that drive growth. The following drivers help stimulate India’s auto sector growth:

 

·         Unrestrained availability of credit and financing options

·         Rising family income

·         Favourable duty structure

·         Improved infrastructure

·         Poor public transport system

·         Low car penetration

·         Popular vehicle exchange policies

·         Evolving quality of life

·         Government policy initiatives and impetus

·         R&D focus

·         Encouraging Foreign Direct Investment

 

GROWTH DRIVERS OF THE INDIAN AUTO COMPONENT INDUSTRY

 

Since a majority of revenues of the auto component industry are derived from supplies to the domestic OEMs, the growth prospects of the former are largely determined by performance of the user OEMs.

 

However, the following are some of the factors that may be considered independently from the OEMs:

 

·         Quality products at reasonable prices.

·         Expanding manufacturing base to include wide range of products.

·         In-house R&D capabilities.

·         Quality Human Resources.

·         Prudent financial discipline and management.

 

Currently, India’s auto components industry is around two-thirds* the size of the OEM segment. This proportion is around one to two times in mature markets of Europe, America and Japan, reflecting enormous imports of auto components in India by OEMs and limited replacement market sales. Considering the robust, mediumterm growth prospects of the Indian automobile industry, the industry size may grow at a faster rate than the OEM segment. This will be driven by OEMs’ thrust on localization and steadily growing replacement market demand.

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

India’s auto sector was impacted by the Government’s policy initiatives to tame spiralling inflation and crude oil prices. Interest rate hikes adversely affected manufacturing and sales. While the availability of cheap working capital dried up, customers postponed their purchases due to high cost of vehicle financing. Undoubtedly, a double edged sword for the auto sector, hedging as a tool to offset the cost of funds also failed to revive the situation, with a sliding Rupee vis-a-vis the Dollar and the appreciation of the Japanese Yen.

 

The woes only increased with the labour unrest in the Manesar production facility of the Company’s Joint Venture Partner, MSIL. This unrest stopped production, resulting in significant losses for both the partners. However, March 2012 brought some hope, when car sales touched record levels. The reason could be to offset the impact of hike in excise duties in the Union Budget. Besides, global economic volatility also scared off many potential buyers.

 

AUTO EXPO: A GRAND SUCCESS

 

India’s 11th Auto Expo jointly hosted by SIAM, Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Automotive Component

Manufacturers Association (ACMA) took place at Delhi’s Pragati Maidan, during 5th to 11th January 2012. A grand success in terms of footfall, the exhibition attracted 1,500 participants from 24 countries and witnessed the launch of over 50 new products. The Company participated in the Auto Expo.

 

GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES

 

The Government of India is in the process of forming a National Automotive Board (NAB), which would become a formal set-up to look into the issue of recall of vehicles and hence improve manufacturing standards. The prospective body, to oversee technical and safety aspects of vehicles, will have representatives from all the nodal ministries and automotive bodies, such as the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI).

 

Various State Governments are providing incentives in order to establish automotive hubs in their states. The Governments of Gujarat and Tamilnadu have announced various measures to provide the necessary impetus to the automotive industry in their respective states.

 

OUTLOOK

 

According to a study by Rothschild, India would become the third largest auto industry by volumes after China and the US by 2015. A three-fold increase in investments by auto makers would boost car production capacity from 4.8 million units in 2010 to 12 million in 2018. The firm anticipates that the forecast would come to reality through 30 new factories, which are estimated to come up in the next eight years. The firm holds a bullish outlook on the Indian auto industry and predicts multiple mergers and acquisitions in the coming years.

 

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

 

The Company faced a difficult situation due to a major labour unrest at the Manesar premises of its joint venture partner, MSIL, which affected the operations of two consecutive quarters. The situation was further aggravated due to an increase in the borrowing cost, weakening of Rupee against the US Dollar and Japanese Yen, along with other macro-economic factors. Net Sales increased from Rs.10605.600 millions to Rs.10683.100 millions, a modest increase of 0.73% (YoY). Profit After Tax (PAT) declined from Rs.383.000 millions in the previous year to Rs.196.300 millions in 2011-2012. Earnings Per Share (EPS) declined from Rs.17.69 per share in the previous year to Rs.9.07 per share in 2011-2012.
