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.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT COMPANY

 

Tata BP Solar India Limited is a Joint Venture, between BP Alternative Energy Holdings Limited and Tata Power Company Limited, and is involved in the manufacture solar cells and solar photovoltaic modules/systems. The Company was incorporated in 1989, and has its registered office at Bangalore.

 

GENERAL OVERVIEW

 

The year had major challenges – both externally and internally. Some of the major events during the year include:

 

- Unprecedented crash in prices of wafers, cells and modules ranging from 35-40%.

 

- In view of falling prices, the Company had to liquidate the high cost inventories at lower margin.

 

- BP Solar, which accounted for more than 65-70% of the total turnover of the Company in previous years, reduced off take 2 years back and during 2011-12 came down to a very small value. For 2009-10, sales to BP Solar was Rs.6500.000 Millions and in 2011-12 it was Rs.120.000 Millions.

 

- There was major demand/supply mismatch in the market place, both locally and globally resulting in most cell and module manufacturing companies to have utilization levels of about 45-50% and Tata BP was no exception.

 

The silver lining within India in 2011-12 was announcement of National Solar Mission by Prime Minister of India as well as Solar Policies announced by States. This paved the way for exponential growth in the Indian Market. Total solar market in 2011-12 grew to about 700-800 MW from 80-100 MW in the previous year. With this domestic growth, the company could achieve the following:

 

- Replace the export to BP Solar with market share in the domestic business and in the process achieve similar turnover in 2011-12 compared to 2010-11 in spite of BP stopping purchase from Tata BP

 

- Complete more than 50 MW of various grid connect Projects on time while ensuring high safety standards

 

- Achieved improvement in cash from operations

 

- Improved Project Execution capabilities in 2011-12 which would help in achieving better project management standards in all future projects that Company would undertake.

 

While 2012-13 is expected to be more challenging in terms further reduction in selling price of modules, excess manufacturing capacity compared to demand, mismatch in reduction in prices of cells compared to modules etc., Company has concrete plans of improving the bottom line and other performance benchmarks by appropriate mix of manufactured cells v/s imported cells, enter into EPC contract with Thin Film modules in a measured way etc.

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

During the year, the turnover of the Company is better by 3% to Rs.9304.500 Millions (2010-11 - Rs.9058.750 Millions). Loss before tax was at Rs.277.240 Millions (2010-11 – Profit of Rs.303.090 Millions). Loss after tax was at Rs.185.840 Millions (2010-11 – Profit of Rs.125.890 Millions). During the year 2011-12, exports accounted for Rs.422.000 Millions (2010-11 - Rs.5954.000 Millions).

 

During the year, while the prices of modules crashed, the reduction in raw material prices like wafers and cells was not commensurate. This along with underutilization of the manufacturing facility resulted in loss during the year.

 

Further the interest cost for cell lines 4-6 during 2011-12 was Rs.70.000 Millions compared to Rs. Nil in 2010-11 which contributed to loss during the year.

 

MARKET SCENARIO

 

During the year the exports to BP reduced substantially. During the year 2011-12, exports to BP Group were at 1.3% of the total revenue compared to 59% in the corresponding period of the previous year.

 

The year also saw steep reduction in the wafer, cell and module prices due to global competition from China and Taiwan.

 

OPERATIONS

 

The production of Solar Cells for 2011-2012 was 22,538 KW as against 54,482 KW in 2010 – 2011. During 2011-12, 2 % of output was used for manufacture of modules for exports to BP whereas it was 70% in 2010-11.

 

The production of Solar Modules in 2011- 2012 was 55977 KW as against 75194 KW in 2010 – 2011. During 2011-12, 2% of output was used for manufacture of modules for exports to BP whereas it was 70% in 2010-11.
