INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit or CAD in April-June widened to 4.9 % of gross domestic product. High imports of gold and oil led to a worsening of the traqde deficit, resulting in CAD jumping to $ 21.8 billion to the latest quarter from $ 16.9 billion in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year. The government aims to bring down CAD to 3.7 % or $ 70 billion, in 2013/14, from 4.8 % or $ 88.2 billion in 2012/13.

 

The finance ministry has started preparations for Budget 2014/15. With general elections scheduled to be held by May next year, there will only be an interim budget. The new government will present the fiscal Budget.

 

The Supreme Court has barred clinical trials for new drugs till a monitoring mechanism is put in place to protect the lives of people on which the drugs are tested.

 

Mumbai has been named the world’s second most honest city according to a survey on 15 cities worldwide by Readers’ Digest magazine. Finnish capital Helsinki bagged the top spot for the world’s most honest city while Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, proved to be the least honest.  The survey put hundreds of people to test in four continents to find out just how honest they were by dropping wallets and seeing how many would be returned.

 

3.7 % Growth of the core sector in August, a seven month high. This takes the overall growth in April-August this year to 2.3 % compared with 6.3 % in the corresponding period next financial year.

 

$19 million Estimated average spending by companies across the globe including India, on social media this year, according to a global study by information technology major Tata Consultancy Services. This will rise to $ 24 million in 2015.

 

Rising inflation, fewer employment avenues and dwindling earnings are taking a toll on the spending capacity in India. Over 72 % respondents from middle and lower middle income families would be forced to slash their Diwali expenditure by 40 % and on average spend nearly 25 % of their monthly salary on Diwali, according to a survey by Assochem.

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL REVIEW

 

Net Sales/Income from operation for the year stood to Rs. 11927.681 Millions registering a growth of 28.84% over previous year. The Profit after Tax (PAT) grew by 53.99% to Rs. 511.880 Millions in 2012-13. The Cash Profit before tax for the year stood at Rs. 1059.990 Millions compared with Rs. 541.729 Millions in the year 2011-12.

 

 

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The World Economy witnessed a major slowdown in 2012 due to the uncertainties of fiscal imbalance in many economies coupled with reduced trade and investments. The report of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) shows that the global GDP expanded at 3.2% in 2012, with average growth rates of 1.2% and 5.1% in advanced and developing economies, respectively.

 

Indian Economy growth rate declined from 6.2% in 2011-2012 to 5% in 2012-2013, the slowest growth of the economy in a decade which was mainly due to decline in service and industrial sectors. The subdued performance of service sector was mainly due to slowdown in global economy and the decline in industrial output was due to slow down in mining, manufacturing and capital goods sector.

 

The reforms measures announced by the Government of India in the form of reducing fuel subsidies, implementation of big-ticket infrastructure projects, direct cash transfers of subsidies, recent changes in FDI and several regulatory reforms including the new Companies Bill, Land Acquisition Bill and the Direct Tax Code augurs well for a pick-up in growth in 2013-14.

 

STEEL INDUSTRY

 

The global steel production reached to a record high of 1.55 billion tons up by 1.2% in comparison to 2011 whereas the global industrial production in 2012 was lowest since 2009. Global steel makers continued to witness supply growth outpacing demand, with capacity utilising on rates remaining constantly below 80%. Annual production for Asia was 1.01 billion tons of crude steel in 2012, an increase of 2.65% as compared to 2011.

 

The Indian iron and steel industry is nearly a century old with the first integrated plant set up in 1907. It was the first core sector to be completely freed from the licensing regime (in 1990-91) and the pricing and distribution controls. The iron and steel industry contributes nearly 2% of the GDP and employs over 0.5 million people. Soaring demand from the sectors like infrastructure, real estate, automobiles uses of specialised steel. Automobiles and power sectors has put Indian steel industry on the world map. Over past few years, the rapid rise in the production of iron and steel output resulted in India becoming the fourth largest producer of crude steel in the world. India continued to show high consumption growth trend of finished steel and continued to be net importer due to increased demand of special grades of steel.
