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.

PRESS RELEASE

 

BENETTON FOUNDER STEPS DOWN FOR SON

 

Benetton, Italy's one of the best known brands, has more than 6,500 stores in 120 countries

 

April 23, 2012 

 

Luciano Benetton will hand over the helm of the Italian fashion clothing company he helped found 47 years ago to his son this week, he said in an interview published on Sunday.

 

Benetton and his family turned the company into one of Italy's best known brands with more than 6,500 stores in 120 countries and a reputation for controversial advertising and bold colours, but it has struggled against new competitors.

 

"The baton passes to my son Alessandro, who will become chairman," Benetton, who turns 77 in May, said in an interview published in Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.

 

"After a run of 47 years, on Tuesday I will resign from the duties I hold in the company I founded with my siblings."

 

A company spokesman confirmed the remarks made in the interview. Alessandro is currently deputy chairman.

 

Benetton has suffered from the emergence of more-flexible rivals such as Inditex's Zara and Sweden's H&M. In January the family announced it would delist the company after a buyout of minority shareholders.

 

An industry source told Reuters in February that Alessandro was set to take charge and that the buy-out would give him room for possible asset disposals or alliances and help revamp the group to accommodate other family members.

 

In the interview, Benetton said his 48-year-old son had shown in the two years as deputy chairman he had the passion needed to run the group, now more than 90% controlled by the family.

 

Benetton scrapped its 2011 dividend after sluggish consumer demand in Southern Europe and the rising cost of raw materials such as cotton led to an almost 30% fall in net profit.

 

 

 

BENETTON and TRENT LIMITED FORM A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP FOR SISLEY'S EXPANSION IN INDIA

 

 

The Group will boost its presence in the sub-continent, where it has operated for over 15 years and already counts around 140 United Colors of Benetton shops.

 

Mumbai, 18 September 2007.  Benetton Group and Trent Limited, a Tata Group Company, have joined forces in a strategic partnership for the Sisley brand’s commercial expansion in India. The agreement was signed today by Alessandro Benetton, executive deputy chairman of Benetton Group, and Noel Tata, managing director of Trent Limited.

 

Under this agreement, Trent will open and manage a number of Sisley stores in India’s major cities. The first shops will open over the next few months, starting with the top shopping streets in two of India’s most dynamic cities: Hyderabad and Bangalore.

 

The new partnership will enable the Benetton Group to boost its presence in India, a key market for the entire continent, where it has been operating for over 15 years and already counts around 140 United Colors of Benetton shops.

 

Trent Limited. has over a decade of experience in the Indian retail industry with an existing portfolio of 39 stores across 3 formats targeting the value/mid-market segment.  Trent today operates the Westside departmental stores; Landmark, the largest books and music retail chain in India and Star India Bazaar, its chain of hypermarkets.

 

“Working with such a prestigious partner”, Alessandro Benetton commented, “will allow us to accelerate Sisley’s development and success in India. We immediately found ourselves in solid accord with Tata, based on our common goal to launch Sisley, a high-end brand with strong growth potential. Together, we can guarantee the quality of both the product and its distribution and consolidate the brand’s distinctive identity.”

 

Adds Noel Tata, “Our existing operations, across three diverse retail formats, have given us key insights into the business and the Indian consumer.  The partnership with the Benetton Group gives us the opportunity to tap the burgeoning premium segment of consumers.  We believe that Sisley has a high potential for growth and we will leverage our experience to optimise the tremendous opportunity.”

 

The agreement comes only a few months after the launch of Sisley’s first three pilot stores in Delhi which were an immediate and significant success with Indian customers. These three shops will be directly managed by Trent.

 

Sisley has more than 900 stores around the world. Its collections, distinguished by their strong fashion content, reflect the latest trends of the season. Sisley offers a wide choice of clothes for men and women, and this winter launches a new range that is even richer and more sophisticated: Sisley Limited Edition.
