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.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

 

The Company has been showing consistently good financial performance both in terms of turnover and  rofitability. During the year, gross turnover of the Company increased by 33% from Rs. 27901.000 millions in year 2011-12 to Rs. 37240.600 millions in the year 2012-13.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

 

COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS BUSINESS

 

During the year, the Company augmented its CNG distribution infrastructure by enhancing the capacity of existing stations and adding new stations. The number of stations went up from 308 in March 2012 to 324 in March 2013, which included 276 stations in Delhi and 48 stations in National Capital Region (NCR). The installed compression capacity went up from 59.56 Lakhs Kg/day in March 2012 to 63.82 Lakhs Kg/day in March 2013.

 

New concept of CNG Station was introduced where all equipments are installed at roof top of canopy due to which more dispensing area is available at forecourt level. One such CNG Station is now in operation at Nanglamachi, Ring Road, New Delhi.

 

Another first, a CNG integrated compressor package unit, where all compression, dispensing and storage is within an enclosure, has been introduced. This unit requires a very small area and can take CNG refueling to customer premises such as societies, malls, offices, schools, other institutions etc. When used at aforesaid premises, this can help in decongesting the existing CNG stations.

 

As CNG facilities at OMCs Retail outlets contribute almost 22% of CNG retail business, the Company has entered into agreements for setting up of CNG facilities with all three Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies upto March 2015.

 

As route buses have gone off the road in FY 2012-2013, the Company has filled the vacuum created by exiting of route buses by executing an agreement with Delhi Integrated Multi Modal Transit System (DIMMTS) for setting up of CNG facilities for Cluster Buses at their depots for a period of ten years i.e. up to the year 2022.

 

The estimated number of vehicles running on CNG in Delhi and NCR as on March 31, 2013 was over 6,48,000 including 4,20,000 private vehicles.

 

 

PIPED NATURAL GAS BUSINESS

 

PNG - Domestic Connections

 

A major thrust has been given to the expansion of Piped Natural Gas (PNG) network in Delhi and NCR i.e. Gautam Budh Nagar (Noida, Greater Noida) and Ghaziabad.

 

The Company has increased its steel pipeline network from 575 kms in FY 2011-12 to 631 kms in FY 2012-13 and MDPE network from 6479 kms in FY 2011-12 to 7783 kms in FY 2012-13.

 

For PNG domestic connections, Delhi has been divided into 70 areas (each area is equivalent to MLA constituency). The pipeline network is already extended to 63 areas and work is in progress to extend the network to the remaining areas.

 

During the year, the Company provided 32,322 PNG connections in Delhi and 21,530 PNG connections in NCR and the total number of connections went up from 3,32,844 in March 2012 to 3,86,696 in March 2013. A total of 53,852 domestic PNG connections were added in Financial Year 2012-13.

 

The Company rolled out a major initiative to upgrade customer services by infusion of technology. You may be aware that in May 2011 customer portal was launched through which domestic PNG customers could register their complaints/service requests online and check the status of the same. The business process of customer acquisition was also integrated into customer portal from August, 2012 onwards. With this development prospective customers are now able to register their PNG connection requests online. The progress of their requests can be viewed online. On completion of process of confirmation of technical feasibility of PNG connection and after customer has made payment for PNG connection, customer can also track progress on customer portal. Further information pertaining to colonywise and city-wise schedule of registrations is made available on the customer portal prospectively. Now all the customer requests for PNG connections received at 24 Hour Customer are or from field marketing teams are also routed throughportal and action taken on such requests is updated on the portal. With these developments the business process of domestic PNG customer acquisition has been made more convenient for the customers. The Company received overwhelming response to this initiative from prospective customers as a large number of them registered their requests online from August 2012 onwards.

 

 

PNG – COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL

 

The Company has maintained its focus on the Industrial and Commercial segment as one of the potential growth

areas in the forthcoming years. With its concentrated efforts in the year 2012-13, the total number of commercial customers increased from 639 in March 2012 to 964 inMarch 2013 and industrial customers from 223 in March

2012 to 418 in March 2013.

 

The Company has expanded its pipeline network to some of the major industrial areas of Delhi and NCR i.e. Gautam Budh Nagar (Noida, Greater Noida) and Ghaziabad. Pipeline laying activities are underway in the remaining major industrial areas in NCR which have huge demand potential.

 

 

EQUITY PARTICIPATION IN CENT RAL U.P. GAS LIMITED

 

(CUGL)

 

As a first step for stepping outside the geographical boundaries of the NCR territory, the Company has recently acquired 50% of the paid-up equity share capital (3,00,00,000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each) of CUGL at a price of Rs. 23 per equity share aggregating to Rs. 69 crores from certain financial investor shareholders of CUGL. CUGL is engaged in City Gas Distribution in the cities of Kanpur and Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh.

 

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The Company has drawn out plans to further consolidate its presence in Delhi and NCR by investing over Rs. 4000.000 Millions during the financial year 2013-14.

 

In CNG segment, the fleet of Private Bus Cluster is expected to reach around 1000 buses by the end of 2013-14. The price differential of CNG versus alternate liquid fuel will continue to drive the conversion of petrol driven private vehicles into CNG mode. Introduction of more CNG variant models by car manufacturers will add to CNG sales.

 

The Company has aggressive plans to expand its pipeline infrastructure to increase the coverage and penetration of the network. Company has taken proactive steps to increase its presence in domestic PNG segment with growth and development of newer parts of Gautam Budh Nagar. Dialogue with builders and developers are going on with an objective to provide PNG facility in upcoming residential projects before new residential units are occupied. This approach will enable the Company to utilize assets better. It shall be the continuous endeavour to expand fast the customer base on both industrial and commercial and domestic fronts.

 

The pipeline expansion plans have been aligned with development of industrial belts in coming years in NCT of Delhi and NCR cities of Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad. The Company has expanded its pipeline network to some of the new industrial clusters planned under redevelopment guidelines in NCT of Delhi and work is underway to expand the network in the remaining areas which will witness substantial improvement in their infrastructure and facilities. Endeavours will be made to realize full market potential by tapping gas volumes from industries, predominantly Small Scale Industries, which will come up during the redevelopment phase in notified clusters of NCT of Delhi. The Company also has plans to provide PNG supplies to upcoming industrial belts along Delhi Mumbai Railway Freight Corridor in Dadri Noida Ghaziabad Investment Zoneand part of Ludhiana Kolkata freight corridor which will pass through Ghaziabad District.

 

The Company alongwith Delhi Jal Board (DJB) had signed an MOU to set up a Pilot Project for production of

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) out of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) situated at Keshopur, Delhi. Detailed Feasibility Report (DFR) to assess techno-commercial feasibility of the project has been prepared and the same is now under third party evaluation.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

The Company is in the retail gas distribution business of supplying Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) to transport sector and Piped Natural Gas (PNG) to Domestic, Industrial and Commercial sectors in Delhi and NCR.

 

CNG is a safe, economical and environment friendly fuel for transport sector. It is replacing traditional fossil fuels of petrol and diesel, as in running cost of the vehicles it is currently around 55% cheaper than petrol and approximately 17% cheaper than diesel.

 

PNG, the other fuel supplied by the Company is a safe, convenient, environment friendly and reliable fuel for domestic, commercial and industrial consumers. Its demand continues to grow with potential consumers in new areas eagerly awaiting the network to connect them.

 

 

NATURAL GAS SCENARIO IN INDIA

 

In the current scenario, India is emerging as a major LNG market and is likely to be one of the largest importer of LNG in future.

 

Natural Gas is the cleanest burning conventional fuel and it is an environmental friendly and an efficient source of energy which produces lower levels of greenhouse gas emissions than heavier hydrocarbon fuels such as coal and oil. The role of natural gas is of significant importance in the global gas markets. The last decades have seen a shift in the global energy fuel mix towards an increased role for natural gas.

 

In India also, the share of natural gas in total energy basket is increasing and the same is expected to grow at a fast pace in the coming years. Natural gas has assumed a larger role in power generation, manufacturing fertilizers, industrial applications, residential heating and in transport fuel as well. Major consumers of natural gas include power and fertilizer sectors, contributing around two-third of the total gas consumption.

 

Presently, there is a gap between demand and indigenous supply of gas, which is largely met through import of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). As far as domestic production is concerned, the supplies from KG basin have shown declining trend in last few years thereby restricting the availability of indigenous gas. In future, India’s natural gas supply mix is expected to be dominated by new domestic fields and LNG imports.

 

Shale gas is expected to contribute significantly to the world’s energy portfolio in the coming years. Major Indian players are looking for opportunities with respect to shale gas supplies from USA.

 

The Government on its part has taken various initiatives to assure uninterrupted supply of gas. Moreover, the new

liquefaction projects being planned in Russia, North America, east Africa, Australia are definitely focus areas for meeting India’s growing demand.

 

The growing demand of natural gas is constrained by a major challenge in terms of price acceptability of LNG by various sectors. The major challenge lies in structuring and tying up LNG which can meet the supplier’s expectation on one side and also meet customer’s price expectations on other side.

 

 

CITY GAS DISTRIBUTION IN INDIA

 

City Gas Distribution (CGD) is one of the growing sectors in the India energy pie and has been accorded a high priority status for allocating gas from domestic supplies. Safety and security concerns have been addressed effectively by CGD Companies, leading to increased consumer confidence and demand.

 

City Gas Distribution business in India is under the regulatory regime. In 2007, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) was set up by an Act of Parliament, which apart from other responsibilities also has the mandate of rolling out CGD networks in various cities of the country. The Board has already outlined its vision of setting up of CGD networks in 300 cities of the country in synchronization with commissioning of the gas pipelines. There exists a huge potential for setting up of CGD networks in various cities across the country.

 

As per the estimates by the Planning Commission for 12th Five-Year Plan, the growth in gas demand in the CGD Sector has been projected very high. The growth may also be driven by possible judicial interventions dictating a switchover from other fuels (because of environmental concerns). The development of new cross country pipeline networks and the addition of LNG terminal capacity will also facilitate CGD growth.

 

The uninterrupted supply of natural gas at an affordable price will play a crucial role in growth of City Gas Distribution sector in the coming years. Presently, with the limited availability of indigenous gas, CGD Companies are more dependent upon imported gas. However, Government of India is taking various initiatives to give boost to the indigenous production and thereby to reduce the dependence on imported gas.

 

 

PERFORMANCE REVIEW - CNG AND PNG

 

Both CNG and PNG business have performed well during the year 2012-13. On an overall basis, sales volume has shown a growth of around 10% over the previous year.

 

During the year, CNG sales volume has increased to 1004.92 mmscm from 937.55 mmscm in the previous year and PNG sales volume has increased to 332.83 mmscm from 282.45 mmscm year showing a growth of 7.2% and 17.8% respectively.

 

The Company has a network of 324 stations for supply of CNG as on March 31, 2013. The estimated number of vehicles using CNG was around 6.5 lakhs in March 2013 and their back-end infrastructure, compression capacity and dispensing outlets are under continuous augmentation to meet the growing demand. The Company has provided PNG connections to 3.86 lakhs domestic and around 1380 commercial and industrial customers as on March 31, 2013.
