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 :

 

PAINT INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The paint industry in India has shown remarkable resilience in the past – holding out despite the fluctuating fortunes in other sectors of industry and the Indian economy as a whole. It is segregated into broadly two categories, namely, the decorative (or architectural) and industrial coatings segments. The industrial segment may be the further broken up into protective, general industrial, automotive, powder and marine coatings. The coatings market in India is dominated by the decorative segment -- occupying more than 70% of the share of the organized sector. The organized sector defines the boundaries of the paints market. New products, fresh technologies, improved properties and innovative distribution channels -- have all been introduced by this sector. Consumption of paint per person has now inched up to about 2 Kgs per person -- still a far cry from developed nations and the world per capita average of about 15 Kgs.

 

In 2011-12, the decorative paints market is estimated to have grown by about 25% in value terms and 12% in volume terms. While empirical data indicates that the paint industry’s growth is linked to GDP, the Company has reasons to believe that while an overall macro growth driver indeed  helps, consistent efforts by all large domestic producers to expand the reach of the market by penetrating new areas, introducing varied products, offering multiple choices in terms of quality and prices, providing better services and  educating consumers boost the demand curve. Customers continue to increasingly prefer value added products, such as exterior and interior emulsion paints. They are environmentally more benign being water-based as opposed to solvent-based, more durable, have better properties such as wash ability, dirt resistance, heat resistance, resistance to fungi and algae and look better. The rapid increase of consumer pull from medium and small towns as well as rural areas augurs well for the industry. This, with the increasing trend of conversion of mud houses to brick and mortar and concrete offers opportunity for the economy and regular end of the market.

 

One of the areas of concern continues to be unabated increase in the prices of raw materials including those of titanium di-oxide and solvent based products. Since many of these are imported, either by the paint industry or by the raw material suppliers themselves, the appreciating value of the US Dollar vs the Indian Rupee has been compounding the problem. This triggered increase of finished goods prices across all segments. 

 

The industrial segment also grew reasonably by volume but had to face challenges of reduced margins and lower demand on account  of subdued activities in various sectors including automotive. The recent increase in petrol prices may further dampen demand in the automotive sector.

 

COMPANY’S OPERATION :

 

The members will recall that in the previous year, the Company had introduced a bouquet of new products in the decorative segment.  These included Weather coat All guard – Premium Plus exterior emulsion with water repelling silicon, Weather Coat Kool‘n’ Seal with two way advantage of sealing the terrace cracks and cooling the interiors, and Breathe Easy – the low VOC, low emission emulsion  and enamel paints. Breathe Easy has the distinction to be the first Indian paint to hold international environment certification. The Company is happy to report that all these products were received with enthusiasm in the market. This year too, these will continue to  attract time and attention of the Company such that the products are deeply entrenched into the markets.

 

During the year, the Company embarked upon the business of construction chemicals. They have a similarity to paints in the sense that they are required mostly at the end process of construction, are necessary for aesthetics and finishing, are sold from many common counters and hardware stores and are related to the architectural sector. The products include Cement mix Plus – a waterproofing compound, Crack fill Paste – a ready to use flexible putty for filling the cracks on plastered surfaces, Crack fill Powder, Super Latex Plus and Latex Plus – liquids for waterproofing and multi-purpose repair work, Tile Adhesive Plus and Tile Adhesive – for bonding of tiles with cement surfaces. The products have been released in select markets and will be extended to whole of the country over a period of time. The Company has established the necessary organization structure for the purpose.

 

In the field of wood coatings, the Company introduced 2 pack polyurethane (PU) – a premium quality two component lacquer system used as top coat on wooden surface and polyester coatings. These will add value to wooden surfaces and furniture.

 

Better service, prompt response and wider reach to the dealers and the customers have been the hallmark of success in the consumer  goods sector in the country. In India, brand recognition depends as much on proven perception of the utility of product and its ready availability as on advertisements and publicity. To this extent, the Company is putting up a Centralized Help Line and a number of Regional Distribution Centres in key locations. The Company will continue to venture into alternate channels of distribution for better  access to the population. There will be increased activity on both Projects (Prolinks, as it is known in your Company) and Home Painting Business coupled with business development efforts at grass-root levels.

 

The General Industrial and Automotive Business continued to perform well with fair growths in both volume and value. The Business  was able to increase its share in medium and heavy commercial vehicles, three wheelers and medium utility vehicles. The Company  was able to gain business in thermosetting acrylics (TSA) and polyurethane (PU) products used by major motorcycle manufacturers  and in their ancillaries.

 

Protective Coatings continued to clock high volumes in Projects, Infrastructure and Pre-fabricated Structures (PEB) to hold on to its leadership position in the country. The Business introduced high performance coatings as tank liners and for pipes transporting hydrocarbon fuels and drinking water.

 

The Company’s factories performed well and maintained a steady supply to the Depots. The processing centres also helped to cater to the demand.

.

 

FOCUS AND OUTLOOK FOR 2012-13 :

 

The Company believes that despite certain recent negatives such as lower industrial production growth of 2.4% in 2011-12 compared to 8.2% in 2010-11 and much lesser GDP growth in the backdrop of tight monetary policy, demand depression in both domestic and global markets and a loss of about 20% in the value of Rupee against Dollar, the paint industry in India is on a structural growth path driven by rising incomes, rapid urbanization, changing consumer preferences for aesthetics and better understanding of the consumers of the inherent properties of paints. Your Company has been at the forefront in the industry explaining to the market the importance of paint in protecting valuable assets. Paints does enhance the beauty of architecture but equally important -- it provides protection against climatic hazards and resists corrosion. In India, it is estimated that upward of Rs. 1.5 lakh crore is lost every year due to corrosion. Much of this can be mitigated by application of proper paints. With a history of hitherto low consumption, the paint industry in India will continue to have a promising future as long as the Company can deliver value, provide robustness, bring forth new ideas and ensure best service levels. While decorative paints would continue to account for a larger pie, industrial paints do hold a significant potential in the long run.

 

Over the last couple of years, the Company has launched several new products in the premium emulsion range to improve its product mix and strengthen its position in the decorative paints market.

 

In its pursuit towards a cleaner environment, your Company will continue to increase share of the interior and exterior emulsion in the overall product portfolio. Painting of new buildings and project business constitute 30-35% of the decorative paint business in major urban markets. In order to utilize the opportunity offered by this sector, the Company will further concentrate on improving the Company’s share of project business. Your Company will continue to expand distribution network across all markets both in terms of width and depth. Considering the significance of improving service to dealers, certain measures would be initiated for enhancing the operational efficiency of dealers and salespersons.

 

In order to maintain momentum of growth, investment in infrastructure – both in Government and private sectors – have to be sustained. In this area too, the demand for paints is expected to be steady. Further, consumers are getting more demanding and with product liability and safety issues getting more stringent, there will be a need for sustained qualitative improvement in the performance of the paints.

 

PROJECTS :

 

Upon receipt of all environment clearances, work on setting up the modern and automated water based paint plant at Hindupur  in Andhra Pradesh is in full swing. The first phase of the Project is expected to be completed by the middle of 2013. Once fully completed, the capacity of the plant will be 320,000 MT per annum for water based paints and 100,000 MT for the emulsions per annum used as intermediates in the production of these paints.

 

The Company has also initiated work on a separate unit at Hindupur for its British Paints Division which will further augment capacity by 30,000 MT of paints and 6,000 MT of resins per annum. Expansion of the water based plant at Rishra from 18,000 MT per annum to 78,000 MT per annum is expected to be completed by middle of 2012. Work on expansion of the water based paint plant at Goa from 28,000 MT per annum to 78,000 MT per annum is on track and expected to be completed by 2012. Resin manufacturing capacity at Goa is being increased by 6,000 MT per annum. Storage facilities of the plant are being simultaneously enhanced.
