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:

 

OPERATIONS AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE:

 

Mumbai is a densely populated and congested city. Building infrastructure in the city has always been a challenge for your Company. Further more, as compared to other utilities whose infrastructure is mostly already laid in the limited corridors available, City Gas Distribution has the 'last move in' disadvantage in Mumbai. This involves laying of extensive new infrastructure in narrow corridors already overcrowded by other utilities.

 

The Company has successfully continued scaling up of the infrastructure during the year under review in its existing areas of Mumbai, Thane, Mira-Bhayander and Navi Mumbai. The Company is setting up distribution infrastructure in the expansion areas of Kalyan- Dombivali, Ambernath, Ulhasnagar and Taloja in its authorized geographical areas. Growth has been maintained despite encountering complexities due to development of other infrastructure by various authorities like construction of flyovers, metro and monorail, subways, and other problems like edge to edge concretization of roads, expansion and redevelopment of roads with availability of limited corridor, limited construction season of only six months for building the infrastructure due to monsoons and delay in statutory permissions from local authorities to build City Gas Distribution infrastructure.

 

In May 2012, the number of household consumers has reached to 5.68 lakhs and CNG vehicles to 2.47 Lakhs approximately.

 

Continuous additions to the number of domestic connections and vehicles converted to CNG have ensured that the company retains its position as the largest City Gas Distribution Company in India in terms of consumer base.

 

The average gas sales volume of the company during the financial year 2011-12 has increased to 1950142 SCM per day representing a growth in excess of 11% over the previous year. The highest daily gas volume has reached a peak of 2333385 SCM per day during the year.

 

During the year 2011-12, the Company made substantial investments in network expansion in its existing areas of operations and laying, building and developing CGD infrastructure in its authorized expansion areas. The projects undertaken during the year have progressed well. During the year, apart from domestic connections, the company has also made progress in increasing gas supply to Commercial and Industrial consumers.

 

The peak daily sale of CNG exceeded 1185800 Kgs per day during the year, registering a growth of more than 7.5 % over the peak daily\ demand in the previous year. The growth in demand for CNG is expected to continue and the Company is preparing to seize this opportunity by significantly investing further in the CNG infrastructure in the city of Mumbai and expansion areas during 2012-13.

 

Some of the important events/ achievements during the year were:

 

(i) Day to day efficient gas sourcing, supply management, fund management and operations carried out by the Company led to reduction in overall costs and achievement of better profitability in spite of higher RLNG prices prevailing in the market.

 

(ii) The company was re-affirmed with AAA rating by ICRA in January 2012, the highest possible rating for Debt instrument by ICRA.

 

(iii) The company officially launched HSS and E pictogram in June 2011.

 

(iv) The Company was re-certified with OHSAS 18001:2007, ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004.(v) Steel Pipeline Network of 4094 mtrs.

 

From Seawood Railway Crossing to Belapur Railway Crossing commissioned successfully on May 21, 2011. This will pave way for gasifying Belapur DRS and Nerul area at Navi Mumbai.

 

(vi) Joint CNG promotion activities undertaken by MGL along with Maruti and Tata Motors for promoting CNG for private cars and school buses respectively.

 

(vii) Service agreement for a period of 10 years signed with Essar Oil Limited for setting up and operating CNG stations at existing and upcoming Essar retail outlets in and around Mumbai city.

 

(viii) New MGL owned office building at Mahape inaugurated.

 

 

DEVELOPMENT IN GAS PRICING:

 

Spot RLNG prices increased substantially during the year from about US$ 12/MMBTU to US$ 17.44 MMBTU.

 

The company successfully maintained its absolute margins in spite of these increased gas costs by putting in place and implementing a comprehensive gas sales pricing policy.

 

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK:

 

In the next 5 years, MGL’s sales volumes are expected to be more than double. The Company has ambitious expansion plans which inter alia include commissioning of 2 more City Gate Stations at Ambernath and Taloja shortly and interconnectivity of City Gate Station at Wadala with DUPL network for security of supply. In the next five years, your Company has plans to increase its customer base to 11 lakh households covering a population of over 55 lakhs, operate 350 CNG stations, expand the steel pipeline network to over 600 KM and PE pipeline network over 5500 KM. As regards investment for expanding its CGD infrastructure, the company has plans for additional investment of about Rs.26000.000 Millions in the next five years.

MAHANAGAR GAS LIMITED INTRODUCES INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR METER READING

 

11 September, 2012

 

Mahanagar Gas Limited, (MGL) has been providing the citizens of Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai areas with PNG and CNG ensuring maximum customer convenience.

 

Continuing their focus and commitment to serve the customers better, MGL has once again undertaken a purposeful step towards providing an alternative solution for meter reading and resolving the billing issues by implementing an advanced technological system. It is said that “Innovation is the mother of invention” – and this is rightly proven once again with the creative ideation by the MGL management and most importantly the Managing Director himself – Mr. V. C. Chittoda.

 

MGL has recently began with the implementation of their new Photo based GPS enabled smart phones initiative for meter readings at households. The system involves an automated meter reading tool rather than the manual paperwork involved - A GPS based android mobile phone that enables the meter reader to update the data of the customer and allows the meter reader to take a picture of the meter capturing the accurate reading. In order to make this unique project, MGL had approached for a software partner - 'Mobicule' who had given the design an outcome. The meter reader feeds the data into the instrument which in turn is then uploaded to the MGL server for bill generation.

 

The first phase of this unique initiative has been completed with the PNG customers in Mira-Bhayander areas. Bills also have been generated and sent to the customers based on the reading taken by this system. The mobile instruments are unique to each meter reader and cannot be exchanged within meter readers as they are pass code protected. The system is quicker and does not require the meter reader to physically visit the MGL offices to update the meter readings of customers. It also saves time and paperwork thus “going the green way”. The system has been highly appreciated by the customers who have experienced it.

 

MGL is also in process of testing another technology for obtaining meter readings automatically.  This is called an Automated Meter Reading (AMR) system, and currently a pilot project is being implemented. The pilot project is undertaken with the Walk-by system, wherein the MGL meter readers have hand-held equipment with them that enables them to capture the reading onto the system by physically visiting the vicinity / area, rather than each individual home.

 

In other words, the meter reader is not required to physically access each meter to collect the reading. On comparison, the reading on the mechanical index of the meter and the reading obtained on the hand-held equipment have been found to be the same in more than 99% cases.

 

These initiatives just emphasizes MGL’s commitment towards its customers and only reiterates their customer friendly approach for their consumers in the city of Mumbai and nearby areas.

 

 

HEALTH AWARENESS AND VEHICLE CHECK-UP CAMP FOR AUTORICKSHAW AND TAXI DRIVERS

MGL has been contributing towards the health of auto rickshaw and taxi drivers through various CSR initiatives. In furtherance of this initiative, MGL organized a free Health Awareness Camp for the autorickshaw and taxi drivers at Vashi on 7th April 2012 at Worli on 21st April and at Mira Road on 29th May 2012

 

The camp at Vashi was inaugurated by Shri Babshetti and at Worli by Shri Dilip Suryavanshi, Senior Inspector of Police (Admin), Traffic division Thane. While inaugurating the camp, both the dignitaries appreciated MGL for its social initiative for the health and welfare of the auto drivers.

 

About 300 auto and taxi drivers availed of the check-up during these camps. They were overwhelmed by MGL’s gesture.

 

The camp was organized in coordination with the auto and taxi unions, through a team of medical experts from Amelio Mediocorp.

 

Earlier, MGL had organised similar health awareness camps at Wadala and Thane, where eye check-up, blood sugar, blood pressure, spirometry and other preliminary tests were conducted for propagating healthy living among the auto and taxi drivers.

 

In addition to the Health check- up of the auto-drivers, a general check-up on the health of their vehicles was also carried out during the camps. For creating safety awareness in usage of CNG, MGL’s Mobile Safety Van equipped with audio visuals on Safety was stationed on the location for educating the CNG auto users.
