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.

PERFORMANCE:

 

Subject continues to focus on improving internal operational efficiencies, while aspiring to achieve higher performance levels. However, during the year, volumes were under pressure. Iron ore production and sales were 13.8 and 16.0 mt in 2011-12 compared to 18.8 and 18.1 mt (17.4 and 16.4 mt excluding Orissa) in the previous year. External sales revenue from iron ore decreased by 3%, from Rs. 83870.000 Millions in 2010-11 to Rs. 81120.000 Millions in 2011-12.

 

The pig iron business’ sales volume decreased by 6% to 250,571 tonnes in 2011-12, while sales revenue grew, fuelled by better prices, by 8% to Rs. 7200.000 Millions in 2011-12. Sales and production volume of metallurgical (met) coke were at similar levels as last year, at 251,264 tonnes and 256,575 tonnes respectively in 2011-12. External sales revenue increased by 24% to Rs. 2000.000 Millions in 2011-12.

 

Subject’s net income from operations fell by 10% to Rs. 83100.000 Millions in 2011-12. Operating cash profit (PBDT) declined by 43% to Rs. 32350.000 Millions in 2011-12. PAT (including associate income) decreased 36% to Rs. 26960.000 Millions, and diluted earnings per share were Rs. 31.01 in 2011-12. With effect from December 8, 2011, Cairn India Limited (CIL) became an associate company and accordingly, the Company’s share of profits in CIL, attributable to the period after acquisition till March 31, 2012, have been recognized in the consolidated financial results.

 

In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Agreement, a consolidated Financial Statement of the Company is included in this Annual Report. The consolidated profit after tax for Subject group for the year ended March 31, 2012 is Rs. 26960.000 Millions as against Rs. 42220.000 Millions for the previous year. The basic earnings per share for 2011-12 were Rs. 31.01 as against Rs. 49.17 for the previous year.

 

IRON ORE BUSINESS:

 

During the year, the Company faced a number of external challenges such as ban of Karnataka mining operations in August 2011 and logistics constraints in Goa, which made it difficult to achieve the Company’s targeted production and sales volumes. The Company launched several internal operational initiatives to mitigate the impact of these challenges which has enabled to the Company to sell 12.7 mt of iron ore, a 14% decline compared to the 14.7 mt of the previous year. The large decline in volumes is also attributed to the closure of Orissa operations with effect from December 1, 2011. Levies of export duties, royalties, etc., continue to pose significant cost challenges to the iron ore mining industry affecting its competitiveness on the global front.

 

EXPLORATION:

 

Subject Group continued its strong focus on exploration activities at its operations at Goa and Karnataka. During 2011-12, over 45,700 metres were drilled which resulted in a net addition of 68 mt to its reserves and resources during 2011-12. The Company has completed an aeromagnetic survey of the Liberia deposits, which has indicated a significant potential upside to the existing resource base of 1 bt. The Company is in the process of completing its scoping study on Liberia project and starting exploration. Total reserves and resources as on March 31, 2012 stands at 374 mt (excluding resource base at Liberia). Reserves and resources position has been independently reviewed and certified as per JORC standard.

 

PIG IRON AND MET COKE BUSINESS:

 

For the pig iron business, sales volumes decreased by 6% to 250,571 tonnes in 2011-12. However, with better market prices, sales revenues increased by 8% from Rs. 6640.000 Millions in 2010-11 to Rs. 7200.000 Millions in 2011-12. Profits before interest, tax, dividends and other non-recurring or non-allocable incomes for the pig iron business decreased by 68% to Rs. 450.000 Millions in 2011-12. External sales revenues of met coke business increased by 35% to Rs. 1910.000 Millions in 2011-12 and profits before interest, tax, dividends and other non-recurring or non-allocable incomes for the met coke business decreased to Rs. 160.000 Millions in 2011-12.

 

EXPANSION PROGRESS:

 

The Company is in the final stages of commissioning its expansion project for the pig iron and met coke manufacturing facilities. With the commissioning of the 450 m3 blast furnaces and 2 batteries of 36 coke ovens each, the Company’s overall pig iron production capacity increases to 625 ktpa and met coke production to 560 ktpa. The project also comprises of 800,000 tonnes sintering facility that would enable the PID to partially meet its iron ore requirement with sintered iron ore fines, resulting in significant cost savings and increasing efficiencies.

 

OUTLOOK:

 

As stated earlier, the longer term perspective of the iron ore market remains stable with a gradual move towards equilibrium. Consensus expectations indicate a global deficit in iron ore continuing for the next two years, followed by pressure on prices as new mining capacities are added. Cost pressures, especially related to capital expenditure, uncertainty of imposition of fresh taxation by regulators and project delays could potentially constrain the speed at which new supply is added, which could be additional buoyancy for prices.  On the cost front, royalty rates, railway and road freight and export duties are expected to exert pressure on the Company, while volumes would continue to be challenged by uncertainties in policy decisions and hurdles in logistics. They continue to remain cautiously optimistic of overcoming such obstacles. The following will continue to be their strategic thrust areas for the year 2012-13.

 

MARKET REVIEW:

 

Subject Goa Limited is part of the Vedanta Group, and drives the ferrous mineral business. While the Company’s core business is mining and it is the largest private sector producer and exporter of iron ore in the country, the Company also produces pig iron, met coke and provides coke making technology. It has made substantial investments in expansion of pig iron and met coke operations, to leverage its position as a premier and biggest domestic producer of pig iron. The eco-friendly non-recovery coke making technology is patented.

 

While each of these business segments has its own focused market, the economic and environmental variables impacting the overall iron and steel industry have a strong impact on all the businesses. Contemporary developments in the domestic iron ore industry had a significant impact on the pig iron, and thereby, the met coke sectors during the year. Over and above these domestic industry issues, global economic sluggishness in the wake of the past years’ slowdown had an impact on market segments and outlook for businesses.

 

MACRO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS:

 

The dark clouds of yesteryears’ global recession only fuelled the uncertainty surrounding the global economy in 2011-12, whether it would succumb to another downturn or recover. Despite the shadow of the 2008 financial crisis and the turmoil generated by the intensifying fiscal crisis in Europe, global output is estimated to have expanded by a healthy 3.9% in 2011. The Chinese economy saw a moderate growth in of 9.2 % in 2011, despite

its tightening initiatives, which included raising interest rates and reserve ratios for banks among other measures, to ensure a sustained growth rate.

 

China has been the major driver of metals demand and higher prices, as the country consumed large quantities of metals for its internal infrastructure and manufacturing needs. While the growth rate for metal demand in China is expected to moderate over the coming decade, in the longer term, demand will remain robust. As it moves from being a significantly export-driven economy to a domestic consumption economy, the metals demand is expected

to decline from current levels to relatively sustainable levels, propped up by urbanisation and infrastructure needs. Urbanisation has been the driver for economic and social transformation in China, and this is expected to be a feature of the overall economy, as it extends beyond the Eastern regions of China.

 

India is considered the next China in terms of its consumption of commodities, given its growing population and needs for development and infrastructure. Despite maintaining a healthy demand growth rate, India’s consumption of world metals has however risen only to 3% in the last decade, as compared to 2% in 1990, owing to the nature of its economic structure, investment patterns, sector growth trends, trade and policies. Also, the pace of its metal demand growth has only been half of China’s pace. To reach China’s current consumption levels, India’s metal demand will have to increase at 15% per annum for more than two decades. Further, the current levels of urbanisation are at a low 29%, almost half that of China. A continued healthy longer-term demand appears an increasingly likely scenario.
