Management Discussion and Analysis

 

Macro-economic environment

 

The fundamentals of the Indian economy weakened significantly in FY13 on the back of global financial market volatility and overall weak demand conditions in the global arena, with inflation levels remaining relatively sticky. Further, India tended to show signs of a twin deficit problem with a worsening fiscal and a higher current account deficit. A direct reflection of this could also be found in a sharp drop in the savings rate over the years, down to 30.8% by end-March 2012 compared to 36.8% in end-March 2008. While savings in physical assets increased to 14.3% by end-March 2012 from 10.8% in end- March 2008, there was a sharp drop in the financial savings to 8.0% in end-March 2012 from 11.6% in end-March 2008.

 

The economy slowed to a real GDP growth of 6.2% in FY12 and this slowdown phase continued into FY13. In Q1FY13, the economy grew by 5.5% but slowed further to 5.3% and 4.5% in the subsequent two quarters. The slowdown was broad-based with even the services sector (including the construction sector) slowing to 7.4% in Q1FY13 and further to 7.1% in Q2FY13 and to 6.0% in Q3FY13. Private consumption expenditure slowed significantly to average a growth of 2.9% in the first three quarters of FY13 compared to 7.4% in the same period last year. Further, investment demand remained weak with an average growth of 0.1% in Gross Fixed Capital Formation down from an average of 5.3% in the same period last year.

 

Headline WPI inflation had ended FY12 at 7.7% and was perceived to be falling in FY13. On the basis of this, the RBI had reduced the Repo rate by 50 bps at its April monetary policy review. However, Headline WPI inflation after remaining more or less stable till August 2012, jumped back to 8.0% in September 2012 before cooling off again to 7.2% by December 2012 and witnessing an even more significant drop to 6.0% by March 2013. The significant erosion in growth to below trend levels, the relatively tighter monetary policy that the RBI followed, a relatively stable currency and also softening in the global prices of items such as metals and chemicals led to the core Headline WPI inflation coming off to 3.4% by March 2013 compared to 5.0% in April 2012 and 5.8% in August 2012. Importantly, already fighting with a slowdown in the demand conditions, most companies appear not to have risked passing on the rising input cost of diesel to their output prices. This implied that the second round impact of the diesel price hikes in September 2012 was relatively muted. Over and above all the above reasoning, the relatively tight monetary policy that the RBI had followed is possibly now showing up in its lagged implications for pulling inflationary pressures down.

 

Contrary to the trends in the Headline WPI inflation, that showed a gradual easing bias, the retail level inflation, measured by the new CPI index has remained on the firmer side, averaging at 10.2% for the year. This also implied that the wedge been Headline WPI inflation and the CPI inflation has been widening. The upside bias for the retail inflation came principally from the food component, averaging at 11.8% for the year. However, even the ex-food CPI inflation, a measure of core retail inflation remained higher than the core WPI inflation.

 

In FY13, RBI’s monetary policy maintained focus on the growth-inflation dynamics via a combination of measured steps for liquidity easing and policy rate cuts. During the year, reserve money growth was muted mainly on account of no addition to the system via foreign resource infusion. With the structural liquidity constraints evident in the credit growth for the banking sector being higher than the deposit growth, the liquidity deficit of the system also increased (especially during Q3 and Q4 of the year) due to frictional factors of the government maintaining higher surpluses with the RBI. This was mainly on account of the efforts by the government to restrict its expenditures and bring the fiscal deficit within manageable limits of around 5.2-5.3%. To tide over these liquidity constricting factors, the RBI had to infuse liquidity into the system via CRR cuts and OMOs. Over the full FY, the RBI infused liquidity of Rs. 1271800.000 crore via its OMO operations. The CRR was reduced by 75 bps through the financial year in September 2012, November 2012 and February 2013. Further, the mandated SLR requirement of banking sector was also reduced by 100 bps in August to 23%.

 

The benchmark policy interest rate (Repo rate) was reduced by RBI by 50 bps in April 2012. However, with inflation surprising on the higher side, the RBI had to pause for a significant period before providing the market with any further cuts on the Repo rate. Finally, with Headline WPI inflation tapering off in Q4, RBI cut the repo rate by 25 bps at its monetary policy meeting on 29th January 2013 and further by 25 bps on 9th February 2013.

 

A significant stress area that emerged in FY12 and aggravated in FY13 is the pressure on the Current Account Deficit (CAD) that also led to certain policy changes to attract more capital flows into the economy to finance the CAD. The CAD/GDP ratio reached a historic high of 6.7% in Q3 of FY13. The trade gap as a proportion of GDP worsened to 12.3% in this quarter on account of weak external demand. While the worsening of the trade gap was on account of weak external demand that affected merchandise exports adversely, the imports of oil and gold increased sharply due to the higher price of oil and gold and also with gold viewed as a hedge against the high inflation levels in India. Even as non-oil and non-gold imports tended to show a drop, reflecting the domestic slowdown story, this was not enough to neutralize the sharp rise in the imports of oil and gold. Steps taken by the government to provide a push to export growth such as the extension of the interest subvention scheme for select employment oriented sectors till end-March 2014, broadening the scope of the Focus Market Scheme and the Market-linked Focus Product Scheme etc. failed to have much positive impact. Further, the large depreciation of the rupee against the USD also failed to have much positive impact on the export dynamics. Further negatives for the CAD were a gradual worsening of the exports of software services over the last few quarters, a plateau in the “Private Transfers” over the last 7 quarters at about US$15-17 billion and a

significant worsening of net interest income outgo from the Indian economy.

 

Important to note, over the full year of FY13, the flows through the capital account were sufficient to finance the CAD. While the continuing strong dose of global liquidity remained a positive for the flows into India, the overall risk perception on India changed dramatically with certain policy announcements (liberalized FDI norms for retail, insurance and pension sectors, a roadmap for fiscal consolidation supported by a hike in the price of diesel and capping of subsidized LPG cylinders, increase in FII limits in the corporate and the G-sec segments etc.) from around September 2012. While flows through the FII route (equity+debt) were at just US$4.3 bn in April-August 2012 with S and P having downgraded India’s rating outlook to negative in end-April and Fitch following up with a similar action in June 2012. Subsequent to the reforms oriented measures announced by the government, FII inflows improved dramatically to US$26.8 billion in September 2012-March 2013. Based on the first 3 quarter BoP data published by the RBI, increases were also noticed in the NRI deposits and the short-term trade capital flows. Overall, capital flows in the first 3 quarters of FY13 were at US$71.7 bn, higher than US$51.2 bn in the same period last year.

 

USD-INR remained volatile in FY13 with a range of 50.72-57.16. Consequent to the negative investor perceptions in the first 5 months of the FY, a sharp depreciation pressure was noted for the rupee against the USD in this period. USD-INR weakened to an all-time low of 57.22 on 27 June 2012, depreciating by 10.6% over the end-March 2012 levels. However, INR recovered in September 2012 with the announcement of various policy measures by the Government that changed the risk perception on India and also pushed back threats of an immediate ratings downgrade. Further, there were improvements in the global risk appetite during this period. However, this period of strength failed to sustain for too long and rupee depreciated once again in October and November 2012 and subsequently remained in a broad range thereafter.
