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.

PRESS RELEASE

 

SECURITY TIGHTENED AT SUZUKI MANESAR PLANT

MARCH 19 2013.

 

Police tightened security at Suzuki Motor Corp.’s two-wheeler plant in Manesar near Delhi on concerns of labour unrest following the suspension of some union representatives, said two persons familiar with the situation.

 

Haryana police have deployed around 250 personnel at and around the factory, said Anil Kumar, a member of the union. Deputy commissioner of police Rahul Sharma, who oversees the area, said some precautionary steps had been taken by the police.

 

“There is some issue between the management and the union. There is no specific threat, but we have taken some precautionary and pre-emptive measures as some workers might go on strike tomorrow (Wednesday),” Sharma said. Suzuki’s car unit Maruti Suzuki India Limited has in recent years been affected by a series of strikes, one of which turned violent resulting in the death of a manager, at its plant in Manesar last year.

 

“Our general secretary, Avinesh Kumar, was suspended a month ago because of a tiff between a plant supervisor and workers. We have been demanding his reinstatement,” said Kumar. “However, today, they have suspended me as well as two other union members after a meeting with Haryana labour department. While the company says they will take us back after 42 days, there is no word on Avinesh’s reinstatement. If they do not take him back, we will have to look at other measures that includes a tool-down strike.”

 

Emails sent to the company spokesperson and Atul Gupta, vice-president (sales and marketing), Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Limited, did not elicit any response till press time. Gupta did not respond to phone calls.

 

Suzuki’s Manesar plant has the capacity to produce 540,000 units a year and it rolls out as many as 1,500 two-wheelers per day. The plant is situated next to Maruti Suzuki’s plant in Manesar. Workers of the Suzuki Motorcycle union, along with other Suzuki units such as Suzuki Powertrain India Private Limited, had backed the strike by Maruti Suzuki workers in 2011. Later, Suzuki Powertrain was merged into Maruti Suzuki.

 

Kumar of the Suzuki union said the management had threatened to dissolve the union, but added that production continued to be “normal” at the plant on Tuesday. “We do not want anything from the management,” he said. “We just want them to reinstate the suspended members. But they do not want a healthy relationship with us and often threaten to dissolve the union itself.”

 

MARUTI SUZUKI BUYS LAND FOR FOURTH PLANT

JANUARY 27 2013

 

Tokyo: Maruti Suzuki India Limited, India’s biggest carmaker by sales volume, has purchased the land for its fourth plant in India, with a view to roughly doubling annual production capacity to about 3 million units, the Nikkei business daily said on Sunday.

 

The company purchased the land in Gujarat for a new factory with capacity of about 750,000 units a year, the company’s chairman, R.C. Bhargava, told the Nikkei.

 

The fourth plant is slated to begin production in 2017 at the earliest and help expand exports to Europe and the Middle East, the report said.

 

Maruti Suzuki is set to begin work by March on its third plant in Mehsana district, also in Gujarat, with production to begin in 2015, it added.

 

MARUTI SUZUKI INDIA LTD DECIDED TO MERGE WITH SUZUKI POWERTRAIN INDIA LTD

14-JUN-2012

 

Maruti Suzuki India Limited decided to get into a merger with Suzuki Powertrain India Limited .This initiative will help them prepare and meet the increasing demand for diesel vehicles.

 

Suzuki Powertrain is a 30:70 ratio joint venture between Maruti and its Japanese parent Suzuki Motor Corp. The merger is expected to increase Suzuki’s stake in its Indian subsidiary by 2 percentage points to 56.2%.

Maruti proposes to make a fresh issue of 13.17 million shares to Suzuki in lieu of its 70% holding in Suzuki Powertrain.

 

The auto industry is slowly shifting towards dieselization and has reached a diesel to petrol ratio of 1:1. The proposed merger aims to bring in constructive growth and synergies in areas such as finance, capital structuring and administration.

 

In March 2012, the board of Maruti set up a committee of directors to advise on restructuring options to strengthen the firm’s business. Once the merger is approved, the books of accounts of Suzuki Powertrain will be merged with Maruti with effect from 1 April 2012.

 

Maruti Suzuki India Limited is a subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan.Maruti Suzika India Limited, is known to be the first company in India to produce and sell more than a million cars. Maruti Suzuki has been the leader of the Indian car market for over two and a half decades

 

SUZUKI POWERTRAIN TO MERGE WITH MARUTI

JUNE 12, 2012

 

 To prepare itself to meet increasing demand for diesel vehicles, Maruti Suzuki India, on Tuesday, said it would merge engine and transmission maker Suzuki Powertrain with itself.

 

Subsequent to this merger, Japanese parent Suzuki Motor Corporation's (SMC) stake in Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) will go up to 56.2 per cent from 54.2 per cent due to a share swap agreement with the domestic car market leader to acquire Suzuki Powertrain India Ltd (SPIL).

 

SMC holds a 70 per cent stake in its subsidiary SPIL, while the balance is held by MSI.

 

“The merger promises multiple benefits, specially when we consider the increasing dieselisation of the Indian car market. With this, Maruti Suzuki will be able to bring all its diesel engine operations under a single management,” MSI Managing Director and CEO S. Nakanishi told reporters here.

 

This would help in bringing down costs and also providing more flexibility while meeting fluctuations in market demand, he added.

 

“With the SPIL facility, now being added to MSI, we can have a cohesive diesel strategy as it will provide synergies in finance and capital,” Mr. Nakanishi said.

 

Reacting to the announcement, shares of MSI closed 3.34 per cent up at Rs.1,146.30 apiece on the BSE.

 

Earlier, during the day, the board of directors of MSI approved the merger proposal of SPIL, which supplies 3 lakh diesel engines and transmissions every year to MSI.

 

As per the understanding, the swap ratio has been fixed at 1:70, which means SMC will receive one share of MSI of Rs.5 each for every 70 shares of Rs.10 each it holds in SPIL.

 

“It is expected that the necessary regulatory approvals and legal requirements for the merger may be completed by end-December. Once the merger is approved, the books of accounts of SPIL will be merged with MSI with effect from April 1, 2012,” the company said.

 

Mr. Nakanishi said SPIL's turnover stood at Rs.4,550 crore in the last fiscal with a net profit of Rs.150 crore.

 

MSI Chief Financial Officer Ajay Seth said: “SPIL has a debt of Rs.550 crore, which will now go into MSI's books.”

 

Commenting on the job scenario post this merger, MSI Managing Executive Officer (Administration) S. Y. Siddiqui said SPIL at present had 2,592 employees and “there are no plans to reduce jobs”.

 

About the government's proposal to levy an additional tax on diesel vehicles, Mr. Nakanishi said: “If it is imposed, the volumes will be down.” He, however, said there would be no impact on future investment by the company due to any such adverse taxation.

 

The company is investing Rs.1,700 crore to set up a diesel engine plant, with a total annual production capacity of 3 lakh units, at its Gurgaon facility by 2014.

 

On MSI's recent decision to cut production of petrol cars, he said: “Out of the total petrol engine capacity, we are utilising only 70 per cent.” The company had the capacity to roll out 11 lakh petrol cars every year, he added.

 

MSI's earlier estimate of selling 50,000 petrol cars less in 2012-13 might go up if the current price gap between petrol and diesel continued, he added.

 

Last week, MSI had said that it cut production of some petrol models, including the best selling Alto, by 8,000-8,500 units as sales of such cars had declined due to high fuel costs.
