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.

OPERATIONS

 

The year witnessed acute shortage of workers and absenteeism for which the production capacity could not be utilized fully. Apart from this there was a strike for some days due to labour dispute which also affected the production. As a result the production during the year was 46050 MT as compared to 47817 MT in the previous year. This resulted in reduced turnover from Rs.3900.500 Millions in the last year to Rs.3573.500 Millions in the current year.

 

The initial forecast of raw jute crop in the new jute season is good and there will be enough carry over of raw jute stock at the end of the year. Prices of raw jute in the current year are likely to be stable.

 

In view of low production and reduced turnover the Company’s profit after tax was Rs.32.700 Millions in the current year as compared to Rs.35.300 Millions in the previous year.

 

The Company had allotted 10,00,000 equity shares of Rs.10/- each at a premium of Rs.40/- per share totaling to Rs.50.000 Millions on preferential basis in terms of section 81(1A) of the Companies Act, 1956 read with SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, 2009. The consent of the members for such allotment was obtained through Postal Ballot in terms of section 192A of the Companies Act, 1956 read with Companies (Passing of the Resolution by Postal Ballot) Rules, 2011.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

The Government of India by a notification during the year has diluted the compulsory packing norms for food grains and sugar under Jute Packaging Materials (Compulsory use for Packing Commodities) Act, 1987 (JPMA).

It has been directed that food grains to the extent of 90% of production and sugar to the extent of 40% of production, shall be packed in jute packaging material. The said notification is valid upto June, 2013.

 

 

SEGMENT WISE OR PRODUCT WISE PERFORMANCE

 

The Company’s turnover from jute activity has been reduced as compared to the last year. In the real estate sector there is some increase in the turnover in the current year as compared to the last year. Both in the jute and real estate sectors there are some marginal increase in the profits but due to increase in interest costs the overall profit has been reduced.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

  • The initial forecast of good monsoon will result in bumper crop of raw jute in the coming season. This should keep the prices of raw jute checked and barring any unforeseen circumstances the outlook for the current year appears to be promising.

 

  • The Company continues its thrust to modernize its mill by installing high speed shuttle-less looms and spinning frames.

 

  • The Management continues to make all efforts and is hopeful to be able to improve the overall performance of the Company in the years to come.
