MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 2011-2012

 

GLOBAL ECONOMIC CONDITION

 

The world economy continues to face challenges on the road to sustained recovery. Advanced Economies that seemed to be shaping well at the start of 2011 lost steam towards the fag-end of the year and this uncertainty is clouding the prospects for global growth during 2012. The growth momentum was impacted as the protracted debt crisis in the euro area and fiscal fragilities dampened business and consumer confidence.

 

The economic crisis and its ramifications have accelerated the shift of economic power from the developed to the emerging nations and exposed a fragile world with limited capacity to respond to systemic risks. The consequence has been volatile and low growth which is likely to stay for sometime to come.

 

Near term, the growth prospects for 2012-2013 remain uncertain, with growth petering out in the euro area and moderating in the emerging markets, while a better-thanexpected recovery is shaping up in the US. The baseline scenario suggests that global growth may continue to below in 2012, with a recession in the euro area as the region makes the much needed fiscal adjustment. Meanwhile, the resource rich Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has been facing significant internal challenges and geopolitical risks. In addition, there is the risk of large potential spillovers to the region from Europe.

 

The year 2011-2012 was abetted by the continuing global volatility and challenges. These uncertainties led to widespread risk aversion and adversely affected capital flows to new projects. The competition for limited opportunities, led to socio-political tensions, increasing protectionism, reassessment of regulation and more importantly, heightened competition for scarce natural resources.

 

 

OVERVIEW OF INDIAN ECONOMY

 

After a rebound in growth in 2010-2011, the Indian economy slowed down to 6.5% in fiscal 2011-2012. This was the lowest annual growth in the last 9 years and was sub-par in comparison to not just the pre-crisis years up to 2008 but also compared to immediate post crisis period.

 

With increasing global integration, the Indian economy was impacted by global uncertainties, while at the same time faced significant domestic challenges of persistent and high inflation, tight monetary conditions, low investment and delays in policy making.

 

The slowdown in 2011-12 was seen in all the major sectors of the economy as compared with the previous year. The Services sector grew by 8.9%, Industry by 3.4% and Agriculture by 2.8% as compared with 9.3%, 7.2% and 7% respectively in 2010-2011. Industrial growth remained subdued due to supply-side bottlenecks, particularly in the mining sector, and moderation in investment demand. The most dismal picture has been presented by capital goods segment which has been in a negative territory during the fiscal. Significantly, slowdown was witnessed in capacity addition as defined by capital formation which decelerated to 5.5% in 2011-2012 as against 7.5% achieved in 2010-2011.

OUTLOOK

 

Power shortage scenario in India is expected to intensify the focus by the Government for improving power transmission and distribution. Utilities like PGCIL, NTPC, etc and State Electricity Boards are likely to go-ahead with their investments in the coming years in power transmission and distribution. With high crude oil prices, GCC public finances will remain reassuringly strong. The focus on infrastructure development and boost to tourism in most of the countries in the Middle East region augur well for the business expansion of PT and D IC.

 

 

WATER AND SOLAR SBG

 

OVERVIEW

 

Water and Solar SBG brings under one umbrella the water and effluent treatment (WET) business, the water technology business and Solar EPC business to cater to the entire value chain of Water business and Solar EPC business.

 

The water and effluent treatment business caters water intake, transmission, treatment and distribution including industrial waste water treatment and disposal and ordinary waste water treatment and reuse segments. Water technology business by deploying advanced and complex water treatment technologies caters to advance water and waste water treatment for very complex treatment plants, concentrating mostly on the Middle East market.

 

Solar EPC business comprises Solar photovoltaic (PV), Concentrated solar power (CSP) and Solar thermal which are the three emerging segments of the solar business.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Indian Government’s consistent support to bridge the demand supply gap in water segment coupled with the interest shown by water bodies towards water management contracts, offer promising growth prospects for the water segment in India. With increased pollution monitoring by regulators and almost 79% of waste water generated not been collected, the highly inadequate waste water segment will see large investments in the coming years.

 

Water Technology BU which will concentrate on the Middle East markets predominantly has seen very favourable prospects in Desalination and Reuse in Oman and KSA. Industries in these countries are going for Reuse projects to meet water demand. The BU is building up on its technology tie-ups, which is seen to be the main differentiator among the competitors.

 

With further ease in external sources of financing, prices of solar panels stabilizing, grid parity to be achieved by

2014-2015, the solar segment appears promising. With the Indian government already having unveiled the National Solar Mission to target of 20,000 MW of solar generating capacity by the end of the 13th Five Year Plan, there are many favourable growth prospects for solar EPC for 2012-2013.

 

 

POWER IC

 

OVERVIEW

 

Power IC specializes in setting up of power generation projects for utilities like electricity boards and independent power producers on a lump sum turnkey basis.

 

Power IC undertakes coal based and gas-based projects and specialises in the super critical technology equipments. Its in house manufacturing facilities in the form of Boiler and Steam Turbine, pressure piping fabrication, Axial fans and air-preheaters and Electrostatic Precipitators together with its decades strength in the areas of project management, engineering and construction management has made Power IC as en d to end solution provider under one cloud in setting up the thermal based power plants, particularly of the supercritical type.

 

During the year 2011-2012, the Power IC focused on timely execution of its existing projects amid multiple challenges on the business prospects front. The facility for manufacture of Electrostatic Precipitators was commissioned during 2011- 2012. The facilities of the joint venture with Howden UK for manufacture of axial fans and air-preheaters were also commissioned during the year. Major dispatches of machines and materials to the various project sites of customers were made from the manufacturing facilities for Boiler and Steam Turbine, High Pressure piping which were commissioned during 2010-2011. With this, the Power IC is geared up to provide nearly 85% (by value) of equipment and services in house.

 

During the year, most projects entered into the critical phase. The Phase 2 of GMR Vemagiri gas based combined cycle power plant progressed substantially during the year, with Unit 2 being commissioned in record time of 24 months and the mechanical completion of Unit 3 was also completed. A significant milestone in power projects, ‘Ceiling Girder Final Jackup’ was completed for 2 units of the JPVL Nigrie project (Madhya Pradesh) and 1 unit of the Nabha Power project (Rajpura, Punjab).

 

The year 2011-2012 also saw dispatch of ODC consignments and critical supplies for Boiler for the Koradi and Nigrie projects, notably the Generator Stator and related assemblies. In case of APPDCL project, the 392MT Generator Stator was successfully erected.

 

Currently, 3 BOP projects are under execution and will enter the critical phase of completion in the year 2012-2013.

 

The Dhuvaran gas based project being constructed for Gujarat State Electricity Corp. Ltd. saw the HRSG primary structures executed in a record 14 days.

 

The challenging economic environment reflected on lower order inflow during 2011-2012. The IC has, however, registered substantial growth in sales and profitability.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The Government has recently taken certain measures, which indicate its seriousness about the problems plaguing the power sector. The recent directive to Coal India to enter into long term Fuel Supply Agreements with power developers provides assurance of coal supply to all plants expected to be commissioned by March 2015. A few state electricity distribution companies have raised their tariffs which is a big positive for their finances, and provides the necessary impetus to both state power generation companies and IPP’s to plan for new projects.

 

IC expects the first half of 2012-2013 to be challenging; the second half, however, seems promising with some awards materializing especially from state owned companies.

 

The focused initiatives taken by ICs in the overseas market will help getting awards in Asia for gas based projects. The IC also expects orders for civil packages in power plants from both private and public sector. With existing order backlog and expected timely execution of all projects, the IC is confident to sustain the growth in sales and profitability in 2012-2013.

 

The IC with all its factories commissioned, offering of energy efficient solutions, a robust technology and manpower base with relevant capabilities, is poised to capitalize on the opportunities of the future.

OUTLOOK

 

With renewed focus on infrastructure development in India, the demand for Hydraulic Excavators is expected to improve. The Mining Equipment business will continue to see a growth on account of investments being made both in the public and private sectors to augment coal production. The demand for metals like iron ore, zinc etc. is also expected to help growth of this business segment. Resolution of environmental concerns and land acquisition issues by the government hold the key for business prospects from the mining sector. CMB is well placed to take advantage of the available opportunities through supply of large size Mining Equipment both to the public and private coal producing companies.

 

Demand for Industrial Machinery from Mineral Processing and Infrastructure segments continue to show an upward trend. This should give us good business opportunities for KBL in their Crushing and Screening segment as well as Wheel Loaders.

 

In the year 2012-2013, it is expected that the Domestic Tyre Companies would reach full utilization of installed capacity and may look for further expansion opportunities.

 

Augmentation in power generation and distribution capacity in India is expected to provide promising prospects to the Valves business.

 

Overall, moderate improvement in the Industrial growth indices in the coming year are expected to enable their businesses to register better growth trends.

PRESS RELEASES

 

AMONG GROUP COS, L AND T FIN MAY APPLY FOR BANK LICENSE: CMD

 

Jun 20, 2013

 

Among group companies, L AND T Finance Holdings is most likely to apply for banking license, CMD YM Deosthalee today clarified to CNBC-TV18.

 

After the recent clarification issued by Reserve Bank of India on new banking license norms, many market participants believe that instead of L AND T Finance, holding company Larsen and Toubro would have to apply for the banking license.

 

"I don't believe that any mergers or demergers are required, so that is not envisaged. It is not possible for me to comment on which entity is going to apply, but it is suffice to say L AND T group is going to apply," Deosthalee said.

 

Most experts believe that companies like L&T, which are applying for bank license will face challenges in meeting RBI’s requirements on statutory liquidity ratio (SLR), cash reserve ratio (CRR) and non-performing loans.

 

Addressing these challenges, Deosthalee said that the group's business plan had already assumed that there will not be any forbearance for such requirements. "I hope we should be able to resolve the issues. It is possible that in the first one or two years there will be some impact on account of this. But we are not looking at this model for a short period of time. This is a long-term perpetual business model and one has to look at it from that perspective," he stressed.

 

Reacting on the sharp fall seen in rupee today, Deosthalee said that this was just a knee-jerk reaction and there is no need to panic. "I don't think that there is any reason for rupee to remain at this particular level,"

 

On possibility of rate cuts after such unprecedented fall in rupee, Deosthalee said that he was hopeful that given the fall in inflation RBI would cut rates. However wether the banks will pass on that 25-50 bps cut in repo rate to customers is questionable and would solely depend on liquidity situation.

 

 

L AND T EYEING DEFENCE ORDERS WORTH UP TO $1.4 BILLION

 

Jun 17, 2013

 

(Reuters) - Larsen & Toubro Limited (LART.NS) is competing for defence contracts worth up to 80 billion rupees that will be awarded in the next few months, M. V. Kotwal, president of the company's heavy engineering department, said on Monday.

 

It has bid for four contracts from the Indian coast guard to supply training ships and support vehicles, worth about 40 billion rupees in total. The orders are likely to be finalised in the next six months, Kotwal said.

 

Larsen & Toubro, India's largest engineering and construction company, also plans to bid for two landing platform docks, worth 10 billion to 20 billion rupees each, to be awarded by the Indian government.

 

The government is planning to offer contracts to build four multipurpose landing platform docks, two of which will be given to private-sector firms. A request for proposals for the docks will be finalised in the next few months, Kotwal said.

To foster the growth of Indian defence companies, the government has rolled out a new procurement programme seen as favouring domestic firms in a field that has been dominated by state companies and foreign firms, and is looking to partially remove restrictions on foreign companies investing in Indian defence-sector firms.

 

"In the next two years, we can see a clear swing in defence orders given to Indian companies," Kotwal told reporters.

L AND T APPROACHES GOVT TO SURRENDER SEZ

 

March 08, 2013

 

Reflecting lack of enthusiasm for special economic zones, 16 developers including Cognizant Technology Solutions and Parsvnath SEZ have sought more time from the government for implementing their projects.

Reflecting lack of enthusiasm for special economic zones, 16 developers including Cognizant Technology Solutions and Parsvnath SEZ have sought more time from the government for implementing their projects.

Besides, four developers, including L and T Chennai Projects and Welspun Anjar, have approached the commerce ministry to surrender their IT and textile zones respectively.

 

"These proposals will be taken up by the Board of Approval (BoA) headed by commerce secretary SR Rao on March 15," an official said.

 

L and T Chennai Projects Private Limited, has requested for SEZ de-notification on the grounds of global recession in IT/ITES sector, general slowdown in macroeconomic scenario and introduction of minimum alternate tax and dividend distribution tax, the official said.

 

The other developers, which have sought more time to implement their projects, include Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation, Cochin Port Trust and Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority.

 

Parsvnath's project for setting up of Biotech SEZ in Andhra Pradesh was notified on December 20, 2011.

 

The developer has been granted two extensions, the validity of which was up to August 2012.

 

It has sought further extension on the ground that the state government had changed the location allotted to them earlier, which needed the approval of Commerce department. BoA is a 19-member inter-ministerial body that deals with special economic zones related matters.


According to an industry expert, uncertainty over tax exemptions to new SEZs has also led to declining interest in these tax-free enclaves. Investors are very apprehensive about the new draft Direct Taxes Code (DTC), he added.

According to the revised DTC draft, which will replace the Income Tax Act of 1961, tax exemptions for SEZs will be confined to the existing units.


SEZs have emerged as major route for attracting investments and increasing exports. So far, 166 zones are operational.

SEZs contributed about 30% to the country's overall exports.


Exports from these tax-free enclaves increased by over 35% year-on-year to Rs 3.53 lakh crore during April-December 2012 period.


SEZ units are eligible for 100% tax exemption for first five years and 50% for the next five. The developers of the zones also avail 100% income tax exemption for 10 years.
