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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

CEMENT DIVISION: 

 

The cement production has increased to 75.22 lakh tonnes from 73.05 lakh tonnes of the previous year.

 

At Ariyalur the Company has installed Line 2 with a capacity of 2 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA). The project was commissioned upto clinkerisation in August 2011. The cement grinding is scheduled to commence in June 2012. Consequently the cement production capacity of the Company will go up from 10.49 MTPA to 12.49 MTPA.

 

 

SALES

 

Domestic

During the year, even though, on All India basis the cement industry has shown a growth of 6%, the Southern Region witnessed a decline of 1%. This was primarily due to a fall of 11% in Andhra Pradesh. As against this, company has registered an increase from 72.48 lac tonnes to 75.04 lac tonnes in sale of cement, representing a growth of 4%. The sale value of cement for the current year, net of Excise Duty and VAT amounts to Rs.30923.700 Millions as against Rs.24486.100 Millions for the previous year.

 

Exports

During the year 0.46 lac tonnes of cement was exported to Sri Lanka as against 0.07 lac tonnes during the previous year. The export turnover of the Company for the year was Rs.142.600 Millions as against Rs.18.600 Millions of the previous year.

 

 

COST

 

During the year, there had been increase in diesel price which had resulted in increase in the cost of road transport for inward raw materials as well as the distribution cost of the finished goods. The increase in the Railway freight rates had also impacted the transportation cost.

 

In addition to the high cost charged by Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited for flyash, the availability of flyash was also poor from the State owned thermal power plants.

 

The cost of power has also increased during the year under review. In Tamilnadu, due to the power cut imposed by the State Government, the units generated from wind mills could not be utilised in full. In order to maintain the production levels, the company had resorted to use of Heavy Fuel Oil based power generating sets, thereby resulting in increase in the power cost.

 

The state electricity boards in Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal have also increased their electricity tariff. This has resulted in increase in the cost of power for the plants situated in the respective states.

 

Due to increase in the cost of imported coal, the generation cost of the Company's captive thermal power plants and the fuel cost have increased during the current year compared to the previous year.

The depreciation cost has gone up due to addition of assets and commissioning of Ariyalur Line 2 upto clinkerisation and Power Plants during the year.

 

The interest cost has also increased due to increase in the interest rates.

 

All the above factors have contributed to an overall increase in manufacturing and distribution costs.

 

 

READY MIX CONCRETE DIVISION

 

The Division has produced 48,807 cu.m of concrete during the year, accounting for a revenue of Rs.171.400 Millions as against 59,589 cu.m. of concrete accounting for a revenue of Rs.180.600 Millions during the previous year.

 

 

DRY MORTAR DIVISION

 

The Division has produced 26,558 tonnes of Dry Mortar during the year as against 27,156 tonnes produced during the previous year. The Division has sold 26,682 tonnes of Dry Mortar accounting for Rs.161.300 Millions  during the year as against 27,089 tonnes of Dry Mortar accounting for Rs.140.800 Millions during the previous year.

 

 

WIND FARM DIVISION

 

The Division has generated 2,855 Lac Kwh during the year as compared to 3,572 Lac Kwh of the previous year. Out of 2752 lac units generated in Tamil Nadu, 697 lac units are meant for adjustment against the power consumed in our plants and balance 2055 lac units have been sold to Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) for a value of Rs.615.900 Millions. Inclusive for the power sold during the previous year, a sum of Rs.649.100 Millions is outstanding from TNEB.

 

The income during the year from the Division was Rs.961.800 Millions as against Rs.1222.800 Millions of the previous year. The installed capacity of the wind farm of the Company is 159.19 MW comprising of 229 Wind Electric Generators.

 

 

NEW PROJECTS

 

As already reported, at Ramasamy Raja Nagar the Company is in the process of installing a Roll Press for increasing the cement grinding capacity from the present level of 210 TPH to 260 TPH. The cost of the project, including installation of Kankar Crusher and Flyash Handling System is Rs.1100.000 Millions. The project is expected to be commissioned in March 2013.

 

At Salem Grinding Unit, the Company is in the process of installing a Roll Press for increasing the cement grinding capacity from the present level of 90 TPH to 230 TPH at a cost of Rs.600.000 Millions. The project is expected to be commissioned in the year 2012-13.

 

 

POWER PLANTS

 

In Salem Grinding Unit, a Heavy Fuel Oil based power generator of 5 MW was commissioned in August 2011.

 

In Ariyalur, the Company had commissioned 2 x 20 MW thermal power plant in 2010-11 and another 20 MW thermal power plant is proposed to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2012-13. In Ramasamy Raja Nagar, a 25 MW thermal power plant would be commissioned in the first quarter of 2012-13.

 

 

PROSPECTS FOR 2012-2013

 

Demand for cement is expected to grow at 8% in the coming year due to the continued fillips given for the infrastructure projects. The Company expects to sustain and improve the output levels of all the units during the year. Also, the Company will have the benefit of increased production from its new projects, which will enable the Company to meet the increased market demand for cement. The Company continues its endeavour for the sale of Blended Cement.

 

The Company also continues to concentrate on cost reduction measures in all areas of production and distribution to protect and improve its profitability.
