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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDIAN ECONOMY:

 

The financial year 2011-12 was challenging for the Indian manufacturing sector, marked by an industrial slowdown. The Indian economy is projected to grow 6.9% in 2011-12, following 8.6% GDP growth in 2010-11. The IIP growth of 8.1% in January 2011 declined to 1.8% in December 2011. The services sector increased its GDP share from 58% in 2010-11 to 59% in 2011-12. The agricultural and allied sectors are projected to achieve 2.5% growth in 2011-12.

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW:

 

As a heavy, malleable, bluish grey metal, Lead is one of the most resistant to corrosion. It is a naturally occurring element usually associated with other metals (zinc, silver and copper). Occurring naturally in the environment, this metal is mined and processed in 60 countries. Its use increased to over 10 million tonnes per annum of which nearly half is produced in Asia. Lead prices have been volatile: from a low of USD 851/t hit in 2008 to a high of USD 2,900 /t level in Q1 FY12 to around USD 2,100/t in March 2012.

 

DOMESTIC BATTERY OVERVIEW:

 

The Indian Lead acid storage battery (including inverter and motive power batteries) was estimated at about Rs.130 bn at a Lead base of USD2,500/t in 2011-12. The domestic automotive battery business accounted for nearly 63% (Rs.82 billion). The domestic automotive sector is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12-14% between FY12 -FY14E on the back of rising disposable incomes and improving sentiment. The Auto Mission Plan (AMP 2016) envisages an industry size of US$ 145 billion by 2016 (US$ 34 billion in 2006).

 

OUTLOOK:

 

India’s secondary Lead industry is likely to witness a change following stringent environment guidelines by state pollution control boards, which will enhance the share of organized players. The country’s Lead demand of 600,000 tonnes per annum is growing at 12% as against a 6% global average due to rapid infrastructure growth.
