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.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

The performance of the company during the year was not as expected or predicted last year. The financial results were negative in profit as well as in sales. During the current year, there was a fall in sales by 18.05% compared to last year, mainly due to bankruptcy of a couple of buyers. The operating profit before interest and depreciation was around 6.575 millions, but the high working capital demand due to non payment of defaulted buyers had to be met with higher bank borrowings loosing heavily on interest. There were bad debts to the tune of Rs.5.500 millions as a result of non payment by buyers along with exchange difference loss of Rs.7.500 millions compared to last year.

 

INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS

 

The coir business is labor intensive and employs a lot of male and female workers right from raw material stage to the finished products. Internal sales within the country for coir products are very thin and export is the only way to sustain the industry. The stiff competition experiencing in the industry from among the manufacturing countries limits the earnings to a large extent together with internal shortage of raw material and its hike in cost along with labor.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The sudden drop in sales due to bankruptcy of a couple of major buyers necessitated vigorous search for strong and meaningful buyers all over the world and the marketing team of the company have cast its net to catch foreign and local buyers aiming at boosting sales. The company being 100% EOU will earn a good share of the future market with its internal strength and customer expertise and can blow all potential clouds as soon as possible and continue business with added vigor and strength. The major set back suffered by the company during the financial year will be reversed next year with more export sale to existing and other European countries brought to their order book during the recent international trade fair held at Hong Kong and Germany. In view of the fall in profit, they have discontinued operation at 5 outside processing units to bring down overheads. Printing of mats is done on job work basis now to save cost.
