INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The current downturn
provides an opportunity to push ahead with reforms to accelerate growth, says
the latest India Development Update report released by the World Bank. The report
says that the adverse effects of rupee depreciation are likely to be offset by
the gains in the exports performance due to improved external competitiveness.
Since May this year, the local currency has depreciated substantially and fell
to a record level of Rs 68.85 to a dollar on August, 28.
A stagflation like
situation appears to have arisen as inflation jumped to an eight month high of
6.46 % for the month of September. It is up from 6.10 % in August. Growth continues
to be muted with factory output plunging to 0.6 % in August. Onion prices
have risen nearly 300 % from last September. Vegetables cost nearly 90 % more
than they did last year. Wake up to the economic contribution of slum dwellers.
They contribute more than 7.5 % to the country’s gross domestic product,
according to a recent study conducted in 50 top cities.
136000 estimated
number of jobs created during the second quarter of the current financial year.
50000 estimated number of additional jobs in the field of corporate social
responsibility in the coming years.
The International
Finance Corporation expects to come out with its rupee linked bonds issue
before the end of 2013 as a part of its plan to raise $ 1 billion. The Apple
iPhone 5c (Rs 41900 for 16 GB variant) and 5s (Rs 53500 for 16GB variant) has
been launched in
The Land Acquisition
Act to provide just and fair compensation to farmers will come into force from
January 1 next year, said Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh. The Act
replaces a 119 year old registration. The Securities and Exchange Board of
India has approved the trading of currency futures on the Bombay Stock
Exchange. The exchange plans to launch the currency futures platform with
advanced trading technology by the end of November.

YEAR UNDER RETROSPECT
While during the year global economy remained dis-appointing, sovereign debt crisis in Euro zone, political turmoil in Middle East and volatile crude prices further weakened the growth prospect. In India inflation remained high for most of the year. It is pertinent to note that whereas agriculture and service sectors continued to perform well, it was the manufacturing sector that mostly attributed to economic slow down. Rising cost of credit and activist monetary policy to check inflation further worsened the investment climate.
Even in odd economic situation, the Company turned out one more year of record achievements. On a standalone basis, though the net sales and total income were higher by 13%, due to increased employee cost and higher depreciation, the pre-tax profit was marginally lower compared to previous year. The Company recorded a net sale of Rs. 4314.306 million as against Rs. 3808.242 million in the previous year. The total income including other income for the year was Rs. 4351.00 million as against Rs. 3,841.753 million a year ago. Pre-tax profit was Rs. 262.029 million as against Rs. 279.602 million in the last year.
The consolidation of overseas operations as reported in the last year has commenced giving positive results. On consolidated basis (inclusive of working of the overseas subsidiaries), the net sales for the year was Rs. 5237.940 million as against Rs. 4687.190 million in the previous year. The pre-tax profit also increased by 8% at Rs. 219.040 millions as against Rs. 202.930 million a year ago.
FINANCE
During the year, the Company spent Rs. 170.00 million towards addition in fixed assets including plant and machinery and capital work in progress. The entire capital expenditure was funded from the internal accruals.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
The Directors are hopeful that initiatives taken by the Reserve Bank of India will fructify to combat the inflation. So far as Indian is concerned there is rise in income of individuals and there is constant change in consumption pattern. This will definitely lead to improvement in GDP. The Company is continuously developing new products for other engineering and infra related industries. This will enable the Company to sustain the growth in years to come.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS
Economic Overview
The Indian economy experienced poor growth during 2012-13 for a range of reasons. A high fiscal deficit and a deteriorating current account deficit resulted in growing inflation and rising interest rates, which in turn led to a poor investment rate and a GDP growth of merely 5%, the lowest in the past decade. The industrial sector, which comprises the mining and quarrying, manufacturing, electricity, gas and water supply and construction, grew at 3.1% in 2012-13 after a marginally better rate of 3.5% in 2011-12. The service sector also grew at a subdued 6.6% and due to 'lower-than-normal rainfall' between June and July 2012, the agriculture sector clocked weak growth. Indian exports also performed poorly as the global economy continued to struggle with a slowdown.
Looking ahead, the Indian economy's growth is expected to pick up during the year 2014 as the economic climate appears to be turning around. The Government has started taking measures to boost investment and lower the fiscal deficit. Also the RBI is now in fray to mobilise the funds in the market and provide adequate liquidity. These policy measures coupled with predictions of a normal monsoon this year, which will spur demand, could drive India's GDP growth upwards. With all these measures, there looks to be improvement in the market around April-May 2014 and should be stabilised by September-October 2014 with the upward trends. The year 2014, will be the year of "General Elections", which should boost economic growth further.
Industry Overview
The metal casting (foundry) industry has come a long way from the days when it was predominantly used for die-casting in the automobile industry and a few electronic goods. Today it is a base industry on which the country's industrial growth hinges. A wide spectrum of industries including automobiles, aeronautics, railways, construction, mining and earth-moving equipment, pumps, compressors and valves, diesel engines, cement/electrical/textile machinery, steel plants and farm equipment and sanitary pipes and fittings, amongst others, are downstream industries for the castings industry.
The industry comprises of approximately 400 die cast companies with 4,500 units, of which 85% can be classified as small scale units, 10% as medium and only 5% as large scale units. Of these units, only around 800 have International Quality Accreditation. Being labour intensive, the industry employs around 6.5 lakh people directly and indirectly.
During 2011-12, the industry produced an estimated 10 million MT of various grades of castings, which conformed to international standards. There are various types of casting produced in India such as ferrous, non ferrous, aluminium alloy, graded cast iron, ductile iron, steel, etc., Casting exports have been increasing at a steady rate of 25-30% per annum for the past few years although they slowed down in 2012-13 due to weak demand from Europe, one of India's main export markets.
As per the World Census of Castings by Modern Castings, USA, India ranks as the 2nd largest foundry-based casting producer in the world, after China which leads with a production of 39.6 million MT. In terms of proportion of the world casting industry, India's share has increased to over 10% in 2012 and this is likely to grow as over the last decade, India's production capacities grew at a CAGR of 12%, while the world average grew at 3.6% during the same period.
The industry has weathered economic upturns and downturns and still grown at a faster rate than the overall economy. While India's GDP has been increasing at between 5-8% during the past few years, the foundry industry has posted a growth of 13% to 14% since 2001, except for 2008-09 when it clocked 12% due to poor demand on the back of a global recession. In fact, according to a study by the World Foundry Organization (WFO), while worldwide casting production increased 13.7% in 2010, India's industry grew 22%. This sterling performance has been largely due to the consistent demand for vehicles from tier II and tier III cities around the country and new industrial projects which led to an increase in local demand. A spokesperson of the WFO stated that although foundries in India have started investing to increase their productivity and capacity, the Indian foundry industry can look forward to accelerated growth for many years to come as the total domestic requirement of castings is about 20 million MT per year and there is a large demand-supply gap.
Some factors that will continue to drive demand are the government of India's focus on increasing the share of manufacturing in GDP; the New Manufacturing Policy which is aimed at enhancing the creation of new jobs; the Automotive Mission Plan 2016; various infrastructure development initiatives and power projects in the 12th Plan (2012-17) and the gradual shift of global OEM operations to India.
The Indian casting industry is projected to grow to $19.2 billion by 2016.
Business outlook
The Alicon Group is constantly one step ahead of the industry, plotting its future course and steering its activities towards success. Investing in R&D is considered a crucial activity and this has shown results time and again. Acquiring new clients from diverse sectors and creating new products which contribute tangibly to client's efficiency are also an integral part of Alicon growth strategy.
At the same time, the Company is conscious about its duty to offer comprehensive solutions at the most cost effective prices. Accordingly, financial restructuring without impinging efficiency or morale is also a pillar of Alicon business strategy.
With firm commitment to these goals, and inherent strengths in terms of size, abilities and quality assurance, the Company is set to weather economic storms with just as much fortitude as it is ready to ride economic booms.
