INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

We are living in a world where volatility and uncertainty have become the New Normal. We saw a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Vietnam. Once powerful countries in Europe are now fighting for bankruptcy. We have taken growth in the developing part of the world for granted but economic growth in China and India has begun to slow. Companies that were synonymous with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its operations, HMV, the British entertainment retailing company and Borders, once the second largest bookstore have shut down due to their inability to evolve their business models with the changing time. Readers’ Digest, Thomson Register are no more !

 

There is another megatrend happening. The World order is changing as economic power shifts from West to East. According to McKinsey study, it took Britain more than 100 years to double its economic output per person during its industrial revolution and the US later took more than 50 years to do the same. More than a century later, China and India have doubled their GDP per capital in 12 and 18 years respectively. By 2020, emerging Asia will become the world’s largest consuming block, overtaking North America.

 

The years after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to remain fragile. The Indian economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in the initial years of the contagion but finally lost ground last year. GDP growth slowed down. Currency has been weakening. There is a marked deceleration in agriculture, industry and services. Dampening sentiment led to a cut-back in investment as well as private consumption expenditure.  Inflation remained at high levels fuelled by the pressure from the food and fuel sectors. The large fiscal and current account deficit s continued to cause grave concern. It is imperative that India regains its growth trajectory of 8-9 % sooner than later. This is crucially important given the need to create gainful livelihood opportunities for the millions living in poverty as also the large contingent of young people joining the job market every year.

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.
