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 India from 1st November.

 

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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Key Economic Trends

 

The concluded financial year ending September 2012 was filled with economic challenges across the globe. The world witnessed financial turmoil stemming from sovereign debt issues in the Western economies, Eurozone crisis and the resultant recession in several countries therein, inconsistent revival signals emanating from the US, visible signs of economic excesses in China and chaos in the Middle East. We, in India, were also facing our own set of challenges in the form of high fiscal and current deficit, persistently high inflation and a corresponding high interest rate, depreciating rupee, dipping growth leading to devaluation by major credit rating agencies and capital outflows from the country. On the political front, a virtual policy paralysis and snail pace economic reforms aggravated the problems. Both external and internal factors led to a sub 6% GDP growth for a developing nation like ours.

 

The last few months have seen signs of positivity. An improvement in industrial performance - reforms push given through allowing FDI in multi-brand retail and enhancing limits of the same in the airline and media sector, direct cash subsidy transfers and continuing hikes in fuel prices, and the certainty of a round in interest rate cut sooner than later is very encouraging and raises hopes of achieving the forecast of 8% growth in the next 3 years. The stimulus package offered by the government during 2011-12 helped the Indian vehicle market post an impressive increase in passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and two wheelers. All the above mentioned segments registered positive double digit growth over the previous year; however, it varied significantly during the year. The tractor industry, which defines the pulse of Indian agriculture; is expected to grow between 2-3% in 2012-13. This is due to the injection of funds by the government through various schemes as a result of which the Indian heartland is seeing a bout of prosperity. The mood in rural India is upbeat due to strong cash inflow post a bumper kharif crop, simultaneously government schemes like National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP) are providing impetus to consumption in the full period between the rabi and kharif seasons. The policy of continuously raising the MSP and the expected implementation of the Food Security Bill before the 2014 union elections are all aimed at providing more wealth in more hands of rural India. This will increase the purchasing power for the farmer and drive growth in the sector.

 

 

AGRI MACHINERY BUSINESS

 

The Indian tractors market sales saw modest traction in the fiscal gone by with demand from both agricultural and non-agricultural usage. The key factor boosting the tractor demand are strong rural liquidity, which in turn was sustained by several factors, including: higher MSP for crops; greater ability of farmers to make cash purchases; enhanced employment opportunities (rural employment schemes being implemented by the Government of India); improved credit environment; and continuance of replacement demand. These factors apart, usage of tractors for non-agricultural purposes, (for haulage in construction and infrastructure projects) continued to increase, further improving the tractor demand. With increasing employment avenues like infrastructure projects and rural employment schemes, availability of labour for agricultural activities continued to decline, further prompting farmers with medium-sized land holdings to either rent or purchase tractors.

 

Factors affecting Tractor Demand

 

Demand for tractors is mainly driven by the farmer’s ability to purchase a tractor and is affected both directly and indirectly by a number of factors:

 

          Irrigation intensity and monsoons

          Landholding pattern

          Availability of credit

          Minimum support prices of food grains

          Cropping pattern

          Increase in cash crop production

          Replacement demand

          Soil conditions

          Crop mix

          Nature of usage

 

 

Tractor Demand Outlook

 

Domestic tractor industry is expected to be flat in 2012- 13 following a slowdown in farm income growth. Farm incomes will be impacted by a lower kharif output in 2012-13 as compared with the previous year. The growth in farm incomes is expected to moderate to 3-5 per cent from a 15 per cent CAGR recorded over the last two years.

 

Food grain output during the kharif season is expected to be 10 per cent below that of 2011-12 and 3 per cent below 2010-11 (based on first advance estimates from Department of Agriculture). This is expected to translate into lower tractor sales during the first 6-9 months of 2012-13. However, better rainfall in August and September has provided an opportunity for a good rabi season (November-February).

 

As per CRISIL’s update, slowdown in infrastructure development will have a marginal negative impact on tractor sales. Key monitorables for the sector demand will be channel inventories, NPAs of captive financiers and mandi prices during the kharif marketing season.

 

New Product Launches

 

          India’s First ‘Executive’ Tractor: In higher HP Segment we launched Farmtrac 6060 and Farmtrac 6065, in 60 and 65 HP categories respectively

 

          Powertrac 425, another new model in 25HP category, was launched in March of this year

 

          Farmtrac 60EPI and Farmtrac 40 are two more new products launched in the current year

 

          The most recent product launch was– the Powertrac Diesel-Saver plus Series – with 10% extra power and 10% better mileage. This tractor range has seen instant, strong reception from our strong markets such as UP, MP and Bihar.

 

 

RAILWAY PRODUCTS BUSINESS

 

The Company is a key supplier to Indian Railways for products including Brake Systems, Couplers, Shock Absorbers, etc - with a focus on safety, comfort and environment. With this wide product range and in-house RandD capabilities, the Company is well-poised to capture the immense opportunity offered by the Indian Railways.
