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.

COMPANY’S OPERATIONS

 

The Company’s operations during the year 2011-12 were severely impacted due to unfortunate natural calamities in Japan and Thailand in the year 2011, leading to non-availability of critical components/parts and also due to rising fuel prices and expanding gap between prices of diesel and petrol. As a result, the launch of ‘BRIO’, the new small car, was adversely affected and when the Company would have embarked on high growth, the year closed with sales of 54,526 units in comparison to 59,552 units during the year 2010-11 witnessing a 8.5% drop in sales. The Company has a market share of 2.08% in the overall passenger vehicle segment. In the meantime, in the current year, price gap between diesel and petrol has further widened in the month of May, 2012, immediately impacting the sale of petrol cars resulting into build up of stocks and necessitating suitable changes in the Business Plan. The situation has been further compounded with the Rupee continuing to weaken against all the major currencies, putting pressure on the cost structure and Company’s margins.

 

Accordingly, the Company has continued its focus on strengthening the in-house cost constitution, endeavouring for increased localization levels, developing local suppliers and building capacity for critical components at its Plant at Tapukara, so as to optimize its product line-up to address diverse market requirements, minimize the risk of foreign exchange fluctuations and dependence on imports.

 

As production resumed to full capacity from February, 2012, the Company is now ready to give more joys to its customers. With the introduction of ‘Brio’ and launch of updated ‘Jazz’ and ‘City’ models, the Company has a refreshed line-up of cars, which are competitively priced.

 

Inspite of adversities on account of diesel – petrol fuel price difference, the year 2012-13 is an “opportunity” year for the Company when it has to strengthen the foundation of its business operations. The Company’s main focus is on the ‘Brio’ and ‘City’ models, which are the two pillars of its business now, and stepped up localization efforts.

The Company has filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India against the said order which is pending disposal.

HONDA TO HIKE CAR PRICES BY UP TO 2% FROM APRIL

 New Delhi March 13, 2013

 

Honda Cars India Limited (HCIL) will increase prices of its vehicles across models by up to 2% from April to offset cost of OBD (on-board diagnostics) compliance and freight increase.
