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.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

During the year, the Company has registered a significant volatility and thereby a lower growth in its overall performance, entirely due to the extreme weak economic fundamentals within the country and in overseas market. The broad spectrum of industries in India has gone through a very bad patch during this fiscal, with top line of operations and margins shrinking. Logistics industry has been no exception to this, as its performance largely depends on the GDP growth within the various segment of industry. Income from operations is Rs 2606.798 Millions as compared to Rs. 3129.897 Millions in the previous year showing decrease of 16.71%. The decrease in revenue is mainly due to decrease in revenue from freight forwarding services and largely in project logistics. However, in-spite of all odds and adversities the Company has achieved reasonable level of sales targets, which is grossly attributable to Company’s customer-centric approach and its ability to provide customer specific solutions, customer centric focus on pricing and innovative marketing strategy, timely project executions and better control over cost.

 

Profit before Depreciation, Interest and Tax (PBDIT) has increased from Rs. 184.157 Millions for the year ended March 31, 2012 to Rs. 191.565 Millions showing a slight growth of operations this fiscal. During FY 2013, the Company has recorded Net Loss after Tax to Rs. 284.070 Millions from a PAT level of Rs. 11.537 Millions in FY 2012 due to loss on sale of Investments in subsidiary companies.

 

The Directors of the Company are currently doing their best to improve the Company’s earning and the results will show up in the ensuing quarters.

 

BUSINESS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

According to the World Bank’s 2012 Logistics Performance Indicator, India is ranked 46th and is behind countries such as Japan, the United States, Germany and China. Logistics costs account for around 6-10% of average retail prices in India as against the global average of 4-5%. Therefore, there is a clear scope to improve margins by 3-5% by improving the efficiency of the supply chain and logistics processes. India is the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world but, according to the India Tribune, due to inadequate supply chain and logistics infrastructure and management, two-thirds of the produce, worth US$ 65 billion in revenue, is wasted or lost in transit every year.17 In the last few years, India has also been crippled by rising food inflation rates, predominantly due to temperature-sensitive transportation and storage, the gap is more glaring. According to industry analysts, improving the back-end processes in the supply chain and integrating cold chains can save US$ 15 billion annually while reducing the wastage of perishable horticulture produce and ensuring additional export revenue of over US$ 5 billion. In India, 65% of freight traffic moves on the road network. Road freight volumes have increased at a much higher rate than the growth of the road network over the last few years, creating structural issues of capacity and quality. Complex taxation and the use of different road permits/documents in different states impose additional constraints on the movement of freight by road.

 

Going forward The Company intends to focus on this opportunity in creating infrastructure to cater to this segment and is already in the process of scouting for suitable partners to align with for seizing this opportunity. This segment of logistics business requires huge level of investments in infrastructure and is a short to medium term opportunity with heavy dose of top line business and fantastic bottom level business opportunity. The Company is clearly focused on this and is making the right moves to enter this area.

 

As far as the existing operations are concerned, The Company is focused in reducing the lower margin business in the various segments of logistics operations and focus only on reasonable margin oriented businesses and is currently focused more in supply chain solutions and delivery to existing clientele on selective basis. The Company wants to certainly restructure the operations from an improved margin orientation business which only can sustain operations on long term basis and can also provide value to its valued existing shareholders and other stake holders.

 

The Company is also focused currently in reducing its short and long term liabilities significantly by aligning with strategic investors so that the interest burden which is erasing the margins to be retained can be restored and the operational efficiency can be brought back into black during this fiscal. Lot of efforts are under way to achieve this and The Company is confident of achieving this at a reasonable time frame.

 

The Company is completely aware of the weak economic fundamentals prevailing in the domestic and overseas markets at this point in time. There is a huge negative sentiment prevailing. But The Company feels that these are the best times to initiate and enter newer segments of logistics businesses which can provide long term value to shareholders and stake holders. Further, with the economic sentiment within the country likely to show positive results in the third quarter of this fiscal, The Company is confident of restoring back its original glory of CAGR and PAT.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

 

India's struggling economy is likely to grow even more slowly this fiscal year than the decade low of 5 percent struck last year, as investment will stay weak due to inadequate reforms and uncertainty ahead of a looming election. The parlous state of Asia's third largest economy was reflected in the rupee's 18 percent plunge against the dollar to alltime lows since May, when signals emerged that the U.S. Federal Reserve was considering winding down an easy money strategy that had benefitted emerging markets like India. Burdened with a record high current account deficit, the rupee has suffered a far steeper fall than other emerging market currencies, and investors doubt whether Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's minority government will take bold enough steps needed to remedy the economy with an election due within nine months.

 

India's growth slowed to 5 percent in the 2012/13 fiscal year that ended in March, its worst performance since it grew by 3.9 percent in 2002/03. However, some economists are more optimistic. They are hopeful that upbeat farm output prospects on the back of plentiful rainfall this year, benefits of a weak rupee for exports, a pick-up in investments following approvals to several large projects in recent months and improvement in the global economy, will combine to deliver more favorable outcome than anticipated.

 

According to the 'India 2020 - Economy Outlook' launched by Dun and Bradstreet in association with Life Insurance Company (LIC), the Indian economy is expected to recover from the current phase of slowdown by FY’14 and is expected to gather pace by FY'15.

 

INDIAN LOGISTICS INDUSTRY

 

Logistics cost in India is estimated to be 13% of GDP, which is much higher than the developed economies like USA which spends around 10% of its GDP as logistics cost and Japan which spends 11% of its GDP for the same. The reason for this high spending is attributed to poor infrastructure facilities, lack of implementation of IT in logistics and unnecessary check points at the National highways which wastefully increases the transportation costs. India can save upto US$ 7.13 Billion each year in the event of a reduction in logistics cost by 1%.

 

Indian logistics industry is approx. 3% of the global logistics and is highly fragmented so far. Logistics industry comprises of three major segments - transportation, storage and value added services. Based on the analysis of various sub-segments in the Indian context on various comparative factors, Companies in the storage and the value added service segments are well-placed to capitalize on growing Indian economy.

 

GROWTH DRIVERS

 

The evolving business landscape and increasing competition across industries, is creating the need for more efficient and reliable logistics services than what exists today. The growth drivers for the Industry can be summarized as follows –

 

GDP growth and rise of 3PL services – Most companies across industries like automotive, electronics, FMCG and pharmaceutical sectors are increasingly opting to outsource their logistics requirements to specialized 3PLs. This has created a demand for a range of logistics services which will benefit the productivity and efficiency of the customers supply chains.

 

Investments in infrastructure – Given the current thrust on infrastructure investments, the growth and efficiency of Logistics Service Providers as well as their customers will be positively impacted. The government has planned investments in infrastructure development amounting Rs. 20000000.000 Millions in the next 5 years. This will prove to be a major benefit for the logistics industry.

 

Qualified work force – There has been a sudden transformation in the scale and scope of activities within the logistics sector. This growth rate needs to be supported with a parallel growth of skilled and trained manpower. Attracting and retaining talent is a major problem faced by Companies in the logistics business. There is a need to incorporate a high degree of professionalism in the functioning and approach of the Companies in this business.

 

GST Implementation to Accelerate India’s growth on Logistics front – Goods and Services Tax (GST) to be implemented in FY13 would do away with multiple taxations and other complexities that the logistics providers have to deal with in different states of India. This will boost investments in large warehouses with latest technologies thereby gaining economies of scale. This in turn will increase the attractiveness of integrated logistics companies, which can provide end-to-end logistics solutions.

 

Emergence of new Storage Models – Several players in India such as Multimodal Logistics Park (MMLP), Mega Food Parks (MFP) and Free Trade Warehousing Zones (FTWZ), have announced next generation storage models. These large scale projects are expected to significantly improve the quality of warehousing and storage space in the Country, while allowing the Customers to reduce costs through economies of scale, government incentives offered and optimal usage of multiple modes of transportation.
