AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE:

 

The Bank had instituted the CII-Exim Bank Award for Business Excellence’ in 1994 for best Total Quality Management practices adopted by an Indian company. The Award is based on the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) model which has undergone revisions recently and has been published as EFQM Excellence Model 2010.

 

The annual award is a prestigious and befitting industry recognition given to a company after being assessed through a transparent and rigorous methodology based on the EFQM Model. In 2011, there were 60 companies that participated for the Award. Though there were no winners for the CII-Exim Bank Award for Business Excellence for 2011, 45 large business organizations and their operating units were commended by the jury for significant achievement (12 companies), and strong commitment to excel (33 companies), in their journey towards business excellence. Recognizing good management practices among organizations, 2 large business organizations, viz. Godrej and Boyce Mfg. Co. Limited (Appliances Division), and Bharat Electronics Limited (Bangalore Unit) were commended by the jury for people management and resource management respectively. Acknowledging the growing significance of Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) in the growth of Indian industry and economy, the assessment process has been simplified to promote the adoption of Excellence framework among the SMBs and to derive benefits to enhance their competitiveness. Two SMBs (Moonlight Engineering Co. and PSG Institute of Management) were commended for significant achievement and 4 SMBs (Humming Bird Corporate Travel and Stay Private Limited, Satish Injecto-Plast Private Limited, Shreekripa Enterprises, and Wendt (India) Limited) were commended for strong commitment to excel.

 

EXIM BANK GETS ADFIAP AWARD:

 

In 2012, the Bank was conferred the “Trade Development Award” by the Association of Development Financing Institutions in Asia and the Pacific (ADFIAP) for its Buyer’s Credit Programme under the National Export Insurance Account (NEIA) for Financing Project Exports from India. The 2012 Award is in recognition of Exim Bank’s “Buyers Credit Programme”, a unique financing mechanism under which the Bank finances and facilitates project exports from India by way of extending credit facility to overseas sovereign governments and government owned entities for import of goods and services from India on deferred credit terms. 

 

GLOBAL ECONOMY:

 

Global recessionary trends had significant fallout in 2011, as global economic activity grew by 3.9 per cent as against 5.3 per cent in 2010. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF)’s World Economic Outlook (WEO), April 2012, the global economy has suffered a setback in 2011 due to deepening of the Eurozone crisis in the fourth quarter of 2011. Growth in advanced economies moderated to 1.6 per cent in 2011 as against 3.2 per cent in 2010, while growth in emerging and developing economies eased to 6.2 per cent in 2011 as compared to 7.5 per cent in the previous year.

 

Reacceleration of activity during the course of 2012 is expected to push up global growth in 2013. Economic activity in emerging and developing economies is forecast to grow at a modest pace of 5.7 per cent in 2012 and 6 per cent in 2013, because of the worsening external environment and weakening of internal demand, while advanced economies are forecast to grow at 1.4 per cent in 2012 and 2 per cent in 2013.

 

The financial sectors of most advanced economies are still vulnerable to shocks mainly due to the delay of recovery in the US economy, financial turbulence in the Eurozone, and major sell-off of risky assets in global markets. Against this backdrop, the global economy faced further shocks as a devastating earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, and some oil producing countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region faced unrests.

 

The US economy grew by 1.7 per cent in 2011, as compared to 3 per cent in 2010, as business confidence in the US economy fell and market volatility increased significantly with the downgrade in the US sovereign credit rating.

Supply disruptions, from Japan and the MENA region, also had adverse impact on the US economy. Prospects for 2012 and 2013 are expected to improve, with the US economy projected to grow by 2.1 per cent and 2.4 per cent, respectively, partly reflecting a modest increase in employment.

 

Growth in Advanced Europe moderated to 1.4 per cent in 2011 as compared to 1.8 per cent in 2010, mainly due to increased public deficits and debt and mounting market tensions in the Eurozone. The Eurozone also grew at similar pace. Economic performance across Euro area in 2011 was widely varied. In 2011, growth in Germany was a little above the pre-crisis level at 3.1 per cent, but France and Italy had a subdued growth at 1.7 per cent and 0.4 per cent, respectively. Greece and Portugal witnessed a contraction in output since they continued to be engulfed in deep sovereign debt crises. In 2012, the Advanced Europe region is forecast to contract by 0.1 per cent, as the crisis is expected to further deepen and affect the less impacted economies in the region.

 

In the Newly Industrialised Asian Economies, growth slowed down to 4 per cent in 2011, as against 8.5 per cent in 2010. Output of the region had positive contribution from net exports mainly due to limited appreciation of real effective exchange rates. Growth is forecast to moderate further at 3.4 per cent in 2012 and 4.2 per cent in 2013.

 

Japan’s economy contracted by 0.7 per cent in 2011, owing to supply constraints from the earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. Japan’s economy is forecast to recover with growth of 2 per cent in 2012 and 1.7 per cent in 2013, supported by reconstruction activity.

 

Developing Asia continued to record strong growth and remains the fastest growing region in the world. However, real GDP growth of the region moderated to 7.8 per cent in 2011 from 9.7 per cent recorded in the previous year, and is expected to moderate further to 7.3 per cent in 2013 mainly reflecting emerging capacity constraints and weaker external demand. China and India were the main growth drivers of the region. China’s real GDP growth moderated to 9.2 per cent in 2011 as compared to 10.4 per cent in 2010, but continued to remain the fastest growing economy in the region. The moderation in growth in China was mainly due to policy tightening measures and a fall in net external demand. Investment growth slowed with unwinding of the fiscal stimulus, but continued to be a principal contributor to China’s growth. China’s economic growth is expected to ease further at 8.2 per cent in 2012.

 

The Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region grew by 4.5 per cent in 2011, as compared to 6.2 per cent in 2010. Growth was mainly driven by the region’s commodity exporters, but the slack was mainly due to the easing of domestic demand growth in response to less accommodative macroeconomic policies, and weakening external demand. Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay, the commodity exporters of the region, grew at an average level of above 6 per cent in 2011. Real GDP growth of Brazil, the largest economy in the region, declined to 2.7 per cent in 2011, as against 7.5 per cent growth recorded in 2010, owing to the monetary policy tightening and weakening external demand. Mexico’s real GDP increased by 4 per cent in 2011, as compared to 5.5 per cent in the preceding year, a result of the sluggish U.S. recovery. Growth in the Central American region in 2011 was constrained by a sluggish recovery in remittances and tourism, and challenges of high public debt in most Caribbean countries. Growth in the LAC region is expected to ease further at 3.7 per cent in 2012, before picking up to 4.1 per cent in 2013.

 

Real GDP of the Sub-Saharan Africa region grew at 5.1 per cent in 2011, as against the 5.3 per cent growth recorded in the preceding year, underpinned by a robust private and public consumption. Though growth in the region was not significantly affected by the global slowdown, the downside risks in the region have increased with greater global integration of the middle income economies (MICs). Average growth for the low-income countries (LIC) group was at 5.8 per cent in 2011, on the back of strong domestic demand and accelerating exports. South African economy grew by 3.1 per cent in 2011 as compared to 2.9 per cent in 2010, supported by rise in private consumption and investment, resulting from a low interest rate environment and a return to the issuance and renewal of mining licenses.

 

Commodity price movements and social unrest hampered the growth in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region, with real GDP growing at 3.5 per cent in 2011, as compared to 4.9 per cent recorded in the preceding year. Growth was mainly driven by oil-exporting economies, such as Qatar, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia, while growth of oil-importing economies in the region, mainly Egypt, Lebanon, and Tunisia, was subdued. The region’s economy is projected to expand further by 4.2 per cent in 2012 and moderate to 3.7 per cent in 2013.

 

Growth in Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) in 2011 was supported by high commodity prices. Real GDP of the region grew by 4.9 per cent in 2011, as compared to 4.8 per cent in 2010, and is forecast to grow by

4.2 per cent in 2012. The Russian economy maintained a growth rate of 4.3 per cent in 2011, underpinned by the high value of exports from the CIS region. The economy of rest of the CIS region grew by 6.2 per cent in 2011 and is forecast to moderate at 4.6 per cent in 2012.

 

Average growth in Central and Eastern Europe region strengthened at 5.3 per cent in 2011 as compared to 4.5 per cent in 2010, mainly driven by the energy exporting economies.

 

INDIAN ECONOMY:

 

After witnessing robust real GDP growth of 8.4 per cent in two consecutive years, the Indian economy had witnessed a lower growth of 6.5 per cent in 2011-12, reflecting lower global demand, domestic policy uncertainties and the cumulative impact of monetary tightening. As evident from the good performance in services sector, moderation in real GDP growth in 2011-12 can be mainly attributed to lower agricultural output and weakening industrial growth.

 

AGRICULTURE:

 

Agriculture and allied activities registered a 2.8 per cent growth in 2011-12, as against 7 per cent registered in the previous year, with the slowdown mainly attributed to base effect and structural impediments. With this growth, the average annual growth in agriculture and allied sectors realised during the Eleventh Plan Period was 3.3 per cent, lower than the targeted growth rate of 4 per cent. As per the third advance estimates for 2011-12, production of food grains is estimated higher at 252.6 million tonnes, as against the target of 245 million tonnes, mainly due to increased rice production in major rice producing states, namely, Assam, Bihar, West Bengal, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh. The share of agriculture and allied activities in GDP in 2011-12 stood lower at 14 per cent, as compared to a share of 14.5 per cent in 2010-11.

 

INDUSTRY:

 

According to the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO), industrial growth slowed down sharply during 2011-12, to 3.4 per cent, from 7.2 per cent in 2010-11, led by contraction in mining, and poor performance of the manufacturing sector. Mining and quarrying sub-sector recorded a negative growth of 0.9 per cent in 2011-12, from 5 per cent growth recorded in the previous year. Both construction and manufacturing sub-sectors witnessed slowdown in their growth rates in 2011-12, to 5.3 per cent and 2.5 per cent, respectively, as against growth of 8 per cent and 7.6 per cent, respectively, witnessed in 2010-11. Only electricity, gas and water supply sub-sector picked up sharply at a higher growth of 7.9 per cent in 2011-12, as compared to a growth of 3 per cent in the previous year. The share of industry in GDP in 2011-12 stood marginally lower at 27 per cent, as compared to a share of 27.8 per cent in 2010-11.

 

The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growth during 2011-12 moderated significantly at 2.8 per cent, as compared to 8.2 per cent growth recorded during 2010-11, mainly due to deceleration in growth of mining and manufacturing sectors. Mining sector contracted by 1.9 per cent during 2011-12 as compared to 5.2 per cent growth during 2010-11. Manufacturing sector growth slowed down to 3 per cent during 2011-12 as compared to

8.9 per cent growth during 2010-11. Only electricity sector registered a higher growth of 8.2 per cent during 2011-12, as compared to 5.5 per cent growth recorded during the previous year. As per the use-based classification, the growth of basic goods moderated to 5.5 per cent during 2011-12 as compared to 6 per cent growth witnessed during the previous year. Growth of capital goods has recorded a sharp decline of 4 per cent during 2011-12, as compared to a growth of 14.8 per cent witnessed during 2010-11. Growth in intermediate goods also declined by 0.9 per cent during 2011-12, as compared to a growth of 7.4 per cent witnessed during 2010-11. Growth in consumer goods also moderated to 4.4 per cent during 2011-12, compared to 8.5 per cent growth recorded during 2010-11, mainly due to weak demand for consumer durables. Growth in consumer durables segment slowed down from 14.2 per cent during 2010-11 to 2.6 per cent during 2011-12 while growth in consumer nondurables increased from 4.2 per cent in 2010-11 to 5.9 per cent during 2011-12.

 

Of the twenty two industrial sub-groups in the manufacturing sector, sixteen sub-sectors registered positive growth rates during 2011-12. These sixteen sub-sectors were publishing, printing and reproduction of recorded media (29.6 per cent); food products and beverages (15 per cent); other transport equipments (12 per cent); fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipments (11.1 per cent); medical, precision and optical instruments, watches and clocks (10.9 per cent); motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (10.8 per cent); basic metals (8.7 per cent); tobacco products (5.7 per cent); other non-metallic mineral products (4.8 per cent); paper and paper products (4.7 per cent); radio, TV and communication equipment and apparatus (4.2 per cent); luggage, handbags, saddlery, harness and footwear, tanning and dressing of leather products (3.6 per cent); coke, refined petroleum products and nuclear fuel (3.2 per cent); wood and products of wood and cork except furniture, articles of straw and plating materials (1.5 per cent) office, accounting and computing machinery (1.3 per cent) and rubber and plastic products (0.2 per cent). The remaining six sub-sectors which recorded decline in their growth rates were electrical machinery and apparatus; wearing apparel, dressing and dyeing of fur; machinery and equipment; furniture; textiles; and chemicals and chemical products.

 

SERVICES:

 

Services sector witnessed a growth of 8.9 per cent in 2011-12 as against 9.3 per cent in the previous year, reflecting acceleration in the growth rates of community, social, and personal  services from 4.5 per cent in 2010-11 to 5.8 per cent in 2011-12. Growth in GDP originating from ‘trade, hotels, transport and communication’ and ‘financing, insurance, real estate and business services’ sub-sector continued to remain strong at 9.9 per cent and

9.6 per cent respectively during 2011-12, though lower than 11.1 per cent and 10.4 per cent growth recorded in 2010-11.

 

INFRASTRUCTURE:

 

The eight infrastructure and core industries, viz. coal, crude oil, natural gas, petroleum refinery products, fertilisers, steel, cement and electricity, registered an average growth rate of 4.4 per cent during 2011-12 as compared to a growth of 6.6 per cent during the previous year. Lower growth rate in 2011-12 was mainly due to negative growth recorded by natural gas sector, and significant slowdown in crude oil and steel sectors. Crude oil witnessed a marginal growth of 1 per cent during 2011-12 compared to a growth of 11.9 per cent recorded during 2010-11. Steel production slowed down to 7 per cent in 2011-12 compared to a growth of 13.2 per cent witnessed during 2010-11. Natural gas production contracted by 8.9 per cent during 2011-12 as compared to a growth of 10 per cent witnessed during 2010-11.

 

Growth has been especially robust in the two sectors, namely, electricity and cement. Electricity generation grew by 8.1 per cent during 2011-12, as compared to 5.6 per cent growth during 2010-11. Cement production registered a growth of 6.7 per cent during 2011-12 compared to 4.5 per cent growth during 2010-11. Petroleum refinery production grew by 3.2 per cent during 2011-12 compared to a growth of 3 per cent during 2010-11. Production of coal recovered in 2011-12, registering a growth of 1.2 per cent from a negative growth of 0.2 per cent witnessed during 2010-11. Fertilisers witnessed a moderate growth of 0.4 per cent during 2011-12, as compared to a zero growth recorded in 2010-11.

 

OUTLOOK FOR SELECT SECTORS:

 

AUTOMOTIVES:

 

The automotive industry (automobiles and auto components) in India has come of age and is today one of the key industries in the country with strong backward and forward linkages. India today boasts of the sixth largest automobile industry after China, the US, Germany, Japan and Brazil. The performance of the industry in recent years has been robust and is likely to remain buoyant, riding on the back of favourable demand and supply side factors. The spurt in the number of MNCs foraying into the Indian market bears testimony not only to the potential of the domestic market but also to the capability of the country to act as a manufacturing hub to serve the overseas market.

 

The automotive industry exhibited remarkable resilience post-crisis with production of 20.3 million vehicles and exports of 2.9 million vehicles during 2011-12 (a year-on-year increase of 13.8 per cent and 25.4 per cent, respectively). With exports consistently exhibiting increasing dynamism, the export orientation of the sector witnessed an increase from 7.3 per cent in 2004-05 to 14.2 per cent in 2011-12, indicating the increasing international competitiveness of domestically manufactured vehicles.

 

Two wheelers remained the largest segment in terms of volume, with a production level of 15.4 million units, followed by passenger vehicles at 3.1 million units during 2011-12. Exports also replicated production trends with two wheeler exports numbering 1.9 million and passenger vehicles aggregating 0.4 million units during the same period. Together, these two segments accounted for 84.3 per cent of the total automobile exports in volume terms.

 

The strong and robust performance across various segments of the automobile industry has benefited auto component manufacturers. The turnover in value terms for the auto component industry increased from US$ 26.5 billion in 2007-08 to US$ 39.9 billion in 2010-11, recording an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.6 per cent during this period. Revenues increased due to strong increase in auto component production, which is projected to nearly double to US$ 40 billion by 2015-16.

 

This could result in the country’s share in global production reaching 3 per cent from the current level of 1 per cent. Besides strong underlying demand, the dynamism in the auto component industry can also be attributed to the sector’s export performance. Auto component exports witnessed a healthy increase during the period 2003-04 to 2010-11 to touch US$ 5.2 billion in 2010-11 and are projected to cross US$ 12 billion by 2015-16. A perceptible aspect of India’s exports of auto components is that almost two-thirds of export goes to the twin big markets of Europe and North America which corroborates the sector’s increasing competitiveness. In addition, the industry has also been amply supported by the spate of new models launched recently by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as well as entry of several new OEMs into the Indian market which has provided a fillip to the demand, bolstering the order book position and growth prospects of component suppliers. Investments into the sector also remained euphoric with the total investment nearly touching US$ 5 billion during the period 2006-07 to 2010-11, while the fiscal 2011-12 anticipated an investment to the tune of US$ 2.5 billion.

 

India’s auto component industry today has the capability to manufacture the entire range of auto-components such as engine parts, drives, transmission parts, suspension and braking parts, electrical parts, and body and chassis parts. Engine parts is the largest sub-segment accounting for more than 31 per cent of the sector’s production, followed by drive transmission and steering parts (share of 19 per cent) and body and chassis and suspension and braking parts (share of 12 per cent each).  

 

Besides, the quality standards in the sector are in line with global standards, corroborated by the fact that nine Indian companies in the automotive sector have received the coveted Deming Prize – the largest number outside Japan. With an impressive growth momentum in the automobile sector coupled with increasing disposable income and road development in the country, the automotive industry is expected to grow significantly in the foreseeable future.

 

CHEMICALS:

 

The chemical industry forms the backbone of the industrial and agricultural development in India and also provides building blocks for downstream industries. This industry is a significant contributor to India’s national economic growth. The size of the Indian chemical industry (excluding pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals) is estimated to have reached around US$ 60.3 billion. In terms of total value added (at constant 2000 prices), the Indian chemical industry was the 5th largest in the world, and second largest in Asia after China. The industry accounts for about 10 per cent of the output of the Indian manufacturing sector, 13 per cent of India’s total exports, and 9 per cent of total imports of the country. In terms of segmentation, basic chemicals was the largest sector with total revenues of US$ 43.3 billion, equivalent to more than two-third of the industry’s overall value in 2010.

 

The volume of major chemicals produced in India amounted to 8 million metric tonnes (MTs) in 2010-11. Though high in absolute terms, the growth during recent times has not been as emphatic. The production of the Indian chemical industry increased only at an average annual rate of 1.0 per cent – from 7.7 million MT in 2005-06 to 8.0 million MT in 2010-11. This near flat performance was primarily as a result of stagnant growth in alkalis (which includes soda ash, caustic soda and liquid chlorine) – the segment which, by far, accounts for the largest share of the output of the Indian chemical industry in volume terms. Matters were made worse by negative average annual rate of growth in organic chemicals, which recorded average annual declines of (-) 2.4 per cent during the 2005-06 to 2010-11 period, pulling down the overall growth of the industry.

 

The positive and encouraging fact among the various segments of the Indian chemical industry has been the performance of specialty chemicals, primarily dyes and dyestuffs. The average annual growth in production of dyes and dyestuff amounted to a healthy 11.8 per cent, increasing from 30,000 MT in 2005-06 to 47,000 MT in 2010-11. This high growth could partly be attributed to the low base and low absolute volumes of dyes and dyestuffs, but more significantly, it implies a consistent increase in market demand of such products. Given that specialty chemicals are knowledge oriented, the per unit price realisation is far higher than most other segments of the chemical industry. Hence, in value terms, it is likely to be far greater than what is evidenced in volume terms.

 

Although India is a net importer of chemicals, of late, the gap between imports and exports has been narrowing down. Growth in exports of chemicals and related products for 2010-11 stood at almost 27 per cent as compared to a meagre growth of 1.4 per cent witnessed last year. The export growth figures have also witnessed a remarkable increase of 34 per cent during April-December 2011-12 to reach US$ 30 billion for overall chemicals and related products, as against the country’s total export growth of 28.5 per cent during the same period.

 

The share of basic chemicals in the country’s overall exports has exhibited a gradual upward trend, indicating that the growth in their exports   has outperformed India’s total exports. Exports of basic chemicals (excluding petro-chemicals and pharmaceuticals) and related products from India increased from US$ 6.2 billion in 2006-07 to around US$ 11.2 billion in 2010-11, thereby witnessing a CAGR of 15.7 per cent. As regards 2011-12 (April-December), the share of basic chemicals and related products (excluding petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals) in India’s total exports stood at 4.5 per cent with exports having touched US$ 9.9 billion.

 

Chemicals industry in India is increasingly becoming a globalized industry. Foreign direct investment (FDI) in the chemical industry and trade between parent firms and their subsidiaries is increasingly becoming significant for the sector. FDI has had a positive impact on growth, development, productivity and competitiveness for the Indian chemical industry. The country has benefited from the transfer and use of technology and the associated benefits of FDI inflows, which has increased over the last few years due to the several incentives that have been provided by the Government of India. The policy now allows for 100 per cent FDI in  chemicals under the automatic route. The Indian chemical industry attracted cumulative FDI inflows worth US$ 3.3 billion during the period April 2000 – February 2012, with a share of over2 per cent in total FDI inflows (US $162.3 billion)  into India.

 

Since products of the chemicals industry are used in a diverse range of manufacturing applications, its performance is generally correlated with the trends in the overall economy, as also the linkages with the rest of the world in terms of trade, investment and technology transfer. On the domestic front, with the reduction in tariffs, Indian chemical companies with strong systems and organised operations are likely to be benefited further. Companies with competitive advantages, like those having competence in the areas of high value added chemicals, conforming to international quality standards, could translate their capabilities and establish a dominant presence in both international and domestic markets.

 

With per-capita consumption of chemical products in India being only a fraction of the global average, the opportunities for the domestic industry are enormous. In dyes, for example, India’s per capita consumption is 50 grams, as against a world average of 425 grams. In case of polymers, the per capita consumption is 5.2 kilograms in India, compared to the world average of 25 kilograms. Keeping in view the size of the domestic market and the growth of end user segments, the potential for growth for the Indian chemical industry is immense.

 

PETROLEUM PRODUCTS:

 

The petroleum industry has been instrumental in fuelling the growth of the Indian economy. The petroleum and natural gas sector, which includes exploration, refining and marketing of petroleum products and gas, constitutes over 15 per cent of India’s GDP. According to the provisional production data released by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, production of crude oil aggregated to 38.1 million metric tonnes (MMT) in 2011-12, as compared to 37.7 MMT in 2010-11; Natural Gas production was 47.5 billion cubic metres (BCM) during 2011-12, a decline of 8.9 per cent over the previous year’s production of 52.2 BCM; Refinery production amounted to

170.1 MMT in 2011-12 compared to 164.8 MMT of oil refined during 2010-11. Indian petroleum refinery sector has established its ability to excel in international markets with export of petroleum products growing at a significant pace in recent years. The country exported 59.1 MMT of petroleum products against imports of 26.3 MMT (including 8.9 MMT of LNG) during 2010-11. With India’s refining capacity witnessing consistent increase, this figure is likely to touch about 70 MMT by 2014, making India one of the world’s major exporters of petroleum products. In value terms, exports of petroleum products witnessed an appreciable growth of 48.1 per cent during the period April-January 2011-12, to reach a level of US$ 48.3 billion as compared to US$ 32.6 billion during the corresponding period of the previous year. The share of petroleum products exports in total exports has also been witnessing a significant increase from 11.2 per cent in 2005-06 to the current (April- January 2011-12) level of 19.9 per cent. The domestic demand for oil and gas is also on the rise. According to the Ministry of Petroleum and

Natural Gas, Government of India, oil consumption in India is projected to increase by 4-5 per cent per annum by 2015, indicating a demand of 4.01 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2015. According to the Approach Paper for the 12th Five Year Plan, import dependence on oil is expected to increase from 76 per cent in 2010-11 to 80 per cent by 2016-17. Import dependence on natural gas is projected to increase from 19 per cent to 28.4 per cent during the same period. Much of the growth would be contributed by the demand for transport energy, as the stock of vehicles is expected to expand with rising economic activity. The medium-term outlook for refining industry looks positive, due to stretched utilisation levels and new capacity build-up in the domestic market. The steady growth in the demand for petroleum products and the policies taken by Government to deregulate and decontrol the marketing of these products are likely to help in generating more opportunities for this sector.

 

TEXTILES AND GARMENTS:

 

The textiles and garments industry has an overwhelming influence on the economic development of India, being the second largest employer after agriculture. Through its contribution to industrial output, employment and exports, the industry plays a critical role in the Indian economy. The industry is estimated to account for 9 per cent of industrial production, 4 per cent of national GDP and 9.5 per cent of the country’s exports, and provides direct employment to more than 35 million people. The textile industry in India is very diverse, comprising the hand-spun and hand-woven sector as also the capital intensive, sophisticated mill sector. The decentralized power looms/ hosiery and knitting sectors form the largest section of the textiles industry in India.

 

Exports of readymade garments and manmade textiles witnessed a growth of 3.8 per cent and 16.8 per cent, respectively. Cotton yarn and fabrics witnessed an impressive growth in exports of 48.6 per cent over the previous year. During the period April-January 2011-12, exports of textiles and clothing (including carpets) from

India amounted to US$ 23 billion showing an impressive growth of 22 per cent over the corresponding period of the previous year. The Union Budget 2012-13 had imposed mandatory excise duty of 12 per cent on branded garments and textile-made ups. This would exert further pressure on the margins of companies manufacturing readymade garments and made-ups; the manufacturers are already struggling with an unprecedented rise in input costs. In order to support large number of employees involved in the handloom industry, Union Budget 2012-13 announced a financial package of Rs. 38.84 billion for waiver of loans of handloom weavers and their cooperative societies. Apart from this, Rs. 5 billion pilot schemes have also been announced for promotion and application of Geo-textiles in the North Eastern Region.

 

While the short term outlook for the textile and clothing sector may pose a few challenges, in the long term, with adequate policy stimulation, the sector is expected to bounce back strongly from the sluggishness it has been witnessing, primarily due to slowdown in demand in the two largest export markets for India, viz., the USA and the EU. The policy support to infuse modernization/new technology and to diversify India’s export markets would help support the industry and take it to a higher growth trajectory. Indian exporters are also focusing on domestic market in addition to new and discerning export markets such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Australia. The large textile manufacturing base, availability of raw materials and labour, vast domestic market, and supportive Government policies, would strengthen the competitive position of Indian textile and clothing industry.

 

DRUGS AND PHARMACEUTICALS:

 

The global pharmaceutical industry is estimated to have grown by 5 per cent to 7 per cent in 2011 to reach a market size of US$ 880 billion, compared to the growth level of 4 per cent to 5 per cent achieved in 2010. There is growing divergence in the pace of growth of the pharmaceutical market size among major markets. The 17 pharma - emerging countries (China, Brazil, Russia, India, Mexico, Turkey, Venezuela, Poland, Argentina, Indonesia, Ukraine, Thailand, South Africa, Egypt, Romania, Pakistan and Vietnam) were forecasted to have grown at 15 per cent to 17 per cent in 2011, to reach a cumulative market size of US$ 170 billion to US$ 180 billion. Greater government spending on healthcare and broader public and private healthcare funding are likely to be the key drivers of growth for many of the pharma-emerging markets. China, the world’s third-largest pharmaceutical market is predicted to have grown by 25 per cent to 27 per cent, to reach a level of over US$ 50 billion in 2011. The five major European markets (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the UK) collectively are estimated to have grown at 1 per cent to 3 per cent, while the USA is estimated to have grown at 3 per cent to 5 per cent.

 

The global exports of pharmaceuticals aggregated US$ 461 billion in 2010, a growth of 6.2 per cent over the previous year’s figure of US$ 434 billion. Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, USA and France were the major exporters, together accounting for more than half of the world’s exports of pharmaceutical products in 2010. India, with a share of 1.5 per cent was ranked the 17th largest exporter during the same year. Overall, the share of pharmaceutical products in world exports has grown over the years, from a level of 2.6 per cent in 2006 to 3 per cent in 2010.

 

Indian pharmaceutical companies have not been affected much by the global slowdown, largely because of cost advantages in production, and due to many of them holding long-term contracts as preferred suppliers. Notwithstanding this, performance on the export front has been rather modest; exports of pharmaceutical products (ITC HS Code 30) increased by a mere 1.8 per cent in 2009-10 over the previous year to aggregate US$ 5.2 billion. However, exports witnessed a complete turnaround during 2010-11, growing by a healthy 26 per cent to aggregate to US$ 6.5 billion. During the period April-June 2011-12, exports of pharmaceutical products (ITC HS Code 30) stood at US$ 1.80 billion growing by 22 per cent over the corresponding period of the previous year. The major export destinations for India’s pharmaceutical products were: USA with a share of 27.1 per cent in the total pharmaceutical exports to world, followed by Russia (7.9 per cent), UK (4.3 per cent), South Africa (4.2 per cent) and Nigeria (3 per cent). Indian pharmaceutical industry is in the process of developing many potential new pharmaceutical products for world markets. While some of them are in early stages of development, others are well on their way to commercialization. Many pharmaceuticals companies have altered their drug portfolios from primary care driven blockbusters towards specialties such as oncology, immunology and inflammation, where the medical need is so high that prices are more easily accepted by the regulators.

 

Furthermore, a ‘Pharma Vision 2020’ has been prepared by the Department of Pharmaceuticals, for making India one of the leading destinations for end-to-end drug discovery and innovation, with the Government committed to provide requisite support by way of world class infrastructure, internationally competitive scientific manpower for pharmaceutical R and D, venture fund for research in the public and private domain and such other measures.

 

 

CAPITAL GOODS:

 

The capital goods industry forms the backbone of India’s manufacturing sector. Some of the prominent capital goods produced in India include heavy electrical machinery, textile machinery, machine tools, earthmoving and construction equipment including mining equipment, road construction equipment, printing machinery, dairy machinery, industrial refrigeration, industrial furnaces etc. During 2010-11 the capital goods industry grew significantly by 15 per cent compared to a very low growth of 1 percent during 2009-10. However, this performance could not be sustained in the year 2011-12; the growth in the capital goods industry actually declined by (-) 4.1 per cent.
