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.

KOHINOOR FOODS FORMS JV WITH US-BASED SPICE MAKER MCCORMICK

 

September 14, 2011

 

NEW DELHI: Rice exporter Kohinoor Foods today said it has completed the Rs.5200.000 millions deal with US-based spice maker McCormick to set up a joint venture for marketing basmati rice and other food products in India.

 

In the joint venture Kohinoor Speciality India, McCormick has 85 per cent stake and rest is with Kohinoor Foods.

 

"McCormick today completed the formation of joint venture with Kohinoor Foods to market and sell basmati rice and food product in India. The venture was announced in June 2011 and will now be named as Kohinoor Specialty Foods India Private Limited," McCormick said in a statement.

 

"McCormick had invested a total of Rs.5200.000 millions (USD 113 million) in the deal and thus commands an 85 per cent interest in Kohinoor Specialty Foods India," it added.

 

McCormick expects the joint venture sales to be about USD 85 million in the first year. Satish Rao, who has been associated with McCormick for the past 16 years, will act as the Managing Director of the JV.

 

The joint venture will have about 275 employees and a modern production facility at Bahalgarh in Haryana, which has been transferred from Kohinoor Foods into the JV.

 

With more than USD 3 billion in annual sales, McCormick manufactures, market and distributes spices, seasoning mixes, condiments and other flavorful products to the entire food industry.

 

Through this JV, McCormick plans to develop and launch new products, penetrate potential and under-served markets and thereby expand in the food service channel in India.

 

"The joint venture is a part of McCormick's strategic business plan to expand sales in emerging markets. Including India, McCormick expects emerging markets to contribute about 12 per cent of total sales by 2015," the statement said.

 

This is the McCormick's third investment in India. It first joined with AV Thomas Group in 1994. In 2010, McCormick acquired a 26 per cent stake in Eastern Condiments Limited, which has become a leading brand of spices, seasonings and other related food products in India and the Middle East.
