INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit for the fiscal third quarter ended September 2013 narrowed to $4.2 billion or 0.9 % of the gross domestic product from $31.9 billion or 6.5 % of GDP a year earlier, thanks to a pick-up in exports and moderation in gold imports. Manufacturing activity and new orders in India showed their strongest growth in a year in February. The news comes as a relief after data showed Asia’s third largest economy grew by a slower-than-expected 4.7 % annually in the three months through December. The HSBC Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index which gauges the business activity of India’s factories but not its’ utilities, rose to 52.5 in February, its highest in a year from 51.4 in January. Overall new orders for factory goods which rose to a one-year high of 54.9 contributed to the surge. China has emerged as India’s biggest trading partner in the current financial year replacing the United Arab Emirates and pushing it to the third spot. India-China trade has reached $49.5 billion with a 8.7 % share in India’s total trade. The US comes second at $46 billion with 8.1 % share during the first nine months of the current financial year.

 

The Reserve Bank of India has granted an additional nine months to the public to exchange currency notes printed before 2005 including Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denominations, pushing the deadline to January 1, 2015. A day before dates for the Lok Sabha polls were announced, the government decided to hike interest rates on fixed deposit schemes offered by post offices up to 0.2 per cent. The new rates will be effective April, 1. The Supreme Court will resume hearing on March, 11 Nokia’s appeal against a ruling over transferring ownership of its local mobile phones plant which is the subject of a tax dispute to Microsoft Corp.

 

In the last days of the current Government, another scam has surfaced. The defence ministry has ordered a probe into Hindustan Aeronautics Limited’s contracts from Britain’s Rolls-Royce Holdings worth at least $ 1.2 billion. The Central Bureau of Investigation will look into allegations that over $80 million was paid in kickbacks in a deal signed in 2011. India has asked Boeing Co. to find a solution for problems with state-owned Air India’s 787 Dreamliners. The aircraft has experienced a series of malfunctions since its debut in 2011.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRIAL PACKAGING [SBU-IP]

 

Industry Structure and Developments

 

SBU-Industrial Packaging is the manufacturer of an extensive product range of 165, 200 and 210 litre capacity mild steel drums and barrels from its six manufacturing locations viz., Asaoti, Chennai, Chittoor, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Silvassa. The SBU is the largest manufacturer of 200 litre steel barrels in the Industrial Packaging segment. The product has its major market in the Petroleum, Chemicals and Food Industry.

 

The Company manufactures and markets these products through its pan-India marketing network to cater to consumers in the lubricating oils & greases, transformer oil, agrochemicals, fine chemicals, paint, fruit pulp & food products and bitumen industry segments. The consumers are leading manufacturers in their respective industry segment and belong to both public and private sectors and the containers provided by the SBU are used mainly for safe packaging, transport and storage of their products.

 

Competition has become intense in the Industrial Packaging industry with the emergence of Medium & Small scale players, which has had the effect of depressing margins in the market. During the year under review, there was a steep fall in the market demand especially in the fruit segment but overall the SBU succeeded in maintaining its previous year volume. The year witnessed stability in the price of cold rolled steel, which is the main input material used in the manufacture of the containers, which was indeed a positive development for the SBU.

 

During 2012-13 the SBU continued to retain its lead position in terms of market share.

 

Segment wise or Product wise Performance

 

2012-13 witnessed a severe fall in demand from the fruit segment. Despite this the SBU achieved higher level of sale than the previous year with the fall in demand in the fruit segment being compensated by the increased sale in other segments.

 

Outlook

 

The indicators for the SBU point towards a reasonable 2013-14 with the fruit segment expected to recover significantly, which will partially offset the loss of PSU and

Government business as consequence of reservation of steel drums and barrels from MSEs. Based on the country achieving targeted GDP growth, the SBU expects to retain its market share in 2013-14. It would be relevant to mention that following up-gradation of equipment during the year, there has been augmentation of production capacity in the SBU. The proposed High Throughput Plant at Navi Mumbai is expected to give a further competitive edge to the SBU.

 

 

GREASES & LUBRICANTS [SBU-G&L]

 

Industry Structure and Developments

 

The Lubricant industry in India has an estimated annual turnover of around Rs.150000.000 Millions with consumption estimated at around 1.50 million tonnes in 2012-13. The Indian lubricant market is the seventh largest in the world and second largest in Asia after China. The size of Grease market is about 87,000 tonnes and 40% of this volume is outsourced from grease processors.

 

The lubricant market has traditionally been dominated by PSU Oil Companies on account of their brand value and reach. With the advent of Multinationals, the nature of the lubricant business has changed radically from a seller’s to a buyer’s market with brands playing a very important role. The market comprises two segments - Automotive grades, which constitute about 60% of the market and Industrial & Marine Grades, which represent the balance. The industry is very competitive with a large number of players. MNCs and PSU Oil Companies together control about 74% of the market share with the balance being shared by several organized and unorganized players. The market share of the Company in Lubricants stands at 2.9%. In the Greases segment, however, the Company is a major player having a market share of around 24%.

 

The automotive lubricant market is highly price sensitive and volume growth is slow on account of longer drain intervals of lubricants due to upgraded version of engines used in 4- wheelers & 2-wheelers. The recent steep hike in the petrol prices has significantly affected the sale of 4-wheelers prompting car manufacturers to scale down their production resulting in a decline in the business volume of automotive lubricants.

 

Segment wise or Product wise Performance

 

The business of SBU: G&L comprises two broad segments viz.,[a] Processing Business and [b] Direct Sales. The Direct Sales segment can be further categorized into (a) Institutional / Industrial Sales, (b) Retail Sales and (c) Export. In the institutional / industrial sales category, the major customers are Railways, Defence, Steel Sector, Coal Sector, Jute Sector, Sponge Iron Sector and Auto OEMs, etc.

 

The Processing business during 2012-13 was down by around 15% compared to the previous year as the PSU oil companies traditionally using the Company’s grease manufacturing facility, have been increasingly developing and using their own facility. Nevertheless, during the year under report, the SBU earned a major break-through by securing a substantial order from Hindustan Petroleum Corporation, regaining the business after a lapse of several years.

 

In the ambit of Direct Sales, the SBU recorded a growth of 10% in retail sales and 3.2% in sales volume of ‘Balmerol’ branded products in 2012-13 over the previous year. Notwithstanding severe price competition from Oil PSUs & major MNCs, and sharp hike in the prices of base oil & additive, etc., the SBU achieved higher profitability with 3.7% growth as compared to the previous year. The SBU closed the financial year 2012-13 receiving a lucrative order from the Railways for supply of lubricant products.

 

To further accelerate its growth, the SBU proposes to lay additional thrust on Retail Sales by way of various promotional campaigns and incentive schemes.

 

Outlook

 

The Company is scanning opportunities for pioneering entry into manufacture and supply of eco-friendly / biodegradable lubricants in the Indian market. The SBU is also considering introduction of value-added specialty products for niche markets especially for the steel and the automobile industry, which are poised for major takeoff. The SBU expects to maintain its growth rate in the Retail segment with a target of achieving an improved market share of 6% or so in the next few years. Also on the anvil are plans to enter into tieup with major Automobile companies / OEMs to cater their factory fill as well as their after sales market.

 

 

PERFORMANCE CHEMICALS [SBU-PC]

 

Industry Structure and Developments

 

In the year 2011, the Union Commerce Ministry set an export target of USD 9 Billion for 2013-14 for leather and leather products and directed the leather industry to diversify the export range by increasing quantum of value added, high value products especially top-end shoes and leather garments. Industry players know that exports can go up only if producers successfully penetrate the US market.

 

The Indian Leather Exports today primarily consists of finished leather footwear and footwear components, leather garments, leather goods and accessories, upholstery, saddlery and bags. About 70% of the leather and leather products are exported to European nations.

 

Over a decade ago India and China were at par in terms of their leather exports. However, this scenario has changed completely and today China’s share in the global leather trade is about 22% with exports of $25 Billion whereas, India’s share is a mere 3% valued at around $ 3.5 Billion.

 

In the International market, Indian leather industry faces big competition from Bangladesh besides China, Vietnam and Indonesia. This is because a substantial chunk of overseas buyers look at Bangladesh as an additional supplier of leather footwear at economic value owing to availability of cheap labour and lower cost of production compared to India.

 

Despite the above and India’s over dependence on the Eurozone countries, the Indian Leather industry achieved export growth of 2.5% in 2012-13 over the preceding year as reported by Council of Leather Exports. The industry increasingly sought to enhance its market penetration into non-traditional areas.

 

Focusing on the Leather Chemicals Industry, it is observed that the industry in India is led by MNCs like BASF, Clariant, Lanxess and Stahl. Their strategy centres on a policy of offering a very wide range of products but at the same time focussing on products that fetch better margin. However, in the absence of sustained demand, the industry is fraught with fierce competition on account of overcapacity and the existence of large number of players in the sector.

 

SBU: Performance Chemicals is essentially in the business of manufacturing and marketing of Syntans and Synthetic Fat Liquors in the Leather industry having a market share of 9% in Syntans and 25% in Fat Liquor in India. The SBU is focused on augmentation of its capacity and expanding its product basket for attaining growth. The SBU also aims to foray into Finishing Segment of Leather industry, a niche area offering relatively higher margins.

 

Segment wise or Product wise Performance

 

In the Fat Liquor segment, the Company has had a volume growth of 15% over the last year, whereas in the Syntans segment there is a marginal decline in the volume. Overall, the SBU has achieved 14% turnover increase as compared to the last financial year.

 

Outlook

 

The SBU continues to witness a difficult phase with respect to the growth prospects in terms of volume of business in Leather Chemicals, as the Euro zone crisis still persists. The way forward is to increase the sales volume of Fat Liquor in the domestic and export markets. To push its sales into new avenues and to enhance its market reach, the SBU is in the process of appointing dealers at various locations.

 

As stated, the SBU has diversified its product portfolio into the area of Construction Chemicals, which has significant manufacturing synergies with the Leather Chemicals production set-up and also has a potential market for growth.

 

To make its foray into Construction Chemicals successful, the SBU has initiated discussion with Infrastructure

Companies, Ready Mix Concrete Plants [RMCs], builders and consulting civil engineers.

 

In the Admixture segment of Construction Chemicals, the SBU has developed a premium range of Poly Carboxylate Ether based admixture and will soon be the first indigenous manufacturer to launch the product in India. The Company is hopeful that in the long-term it would have significant payoff from the Construction Chemicals business.

 

 

LOGISTICS SERVICES [SBU-LS]

 

Industry Structure and Developments

 

Logistics is one of the fastest growing industries with an annual growth rate of approximately 10%. India is emerging as one of the major manufacturing hubs for automotive and pharmaceutical products and this is expected to provide a fillip to the growth of the Logistics Industry. The total market size of the Logistics industry in India has been estimated at USD 100 Billion in 2012-13. Much of the industry is fragmented with a mere 6% with the organized sector. The other key factors underlying the growth of the Logistics industry are the emergence of organized retailing in India and increase in foreign trade. Most of the industries like Automotive, Electronics and Pharmaceutical Sectors are opting to outsource their logistics requirement to specialized third party Logistics service providers.

 

Infrastructure in the Logistics sector has surfaced as a critical component requiring significant investment. Large investments are underway to develop logistics parks, free trade zones, cold chains, Inland Container Depots & Container Freight Station, etc. apart from developing several airports across the country. These developments are expected to nurture the growth of Logistics Services industry. The introduction of Goods & Services Tax [GST] will act as a catalyst leading to creation of logistically optimal network and generate robust growth of the industry.

 

Segment wise or Product wise Performance

 

The SBU-Logistics Services offers a comprehensive array of services including import consolidation by Air and Ocean, customs clearance at various sea ports, handling of project cargo through multi-modal transportation, chartering of aircrafts and vessels besides providing express services. Air cargo handling and provision of related support services like customs clearance and chartering continued to form the core revenue generator of the SBU in 2012-13. The growth in turnover and profit of the SBU from air freight and support services was of the order of 15% and 19% respectively compared to 2011-12.

 

Outlook

 

To capture the growth opportunities present in the market, besides strengthening its infrastructure, human resource and extending its services in the value chain, the SBU is exploring possibilities of realigning its business focus to target newer and more attractive segments. This will acelerate further growth and also focus on re-engineering its systems and capabilities to improve its turnaround time, reliability and customer satisfaction. With the aforesaid objective in view, the SBU has stretched its activities in and across the country opening three new branches and more in the pipeline. Currently, the SBU operates with 22 branches across the country.

 

 

TOURS & TRAVEL [SBU-T&T]

 

Industry Structure and Developments

 

The government has implemented certain positive steps during the year, such as permitting 49% Foreign Direct Investment [FDI] to foreign airlines investing with Indian domestic carriers, granting license to import Aviation Turbine Fuel directly and lifting the cap on international routes for domestic carriers. The year also witnessed the shut-down of Kingfisher Airlines, Paramount Airways, MDLR and faster growth of low cost Airlines, vis-à-vis the full service carriers.

 

There has been a discernible shift in the travel pattern of Indian outbound travelers on account of reasons such as weakening of the Indian rupee against the American dollar coupled with increase in international airfares. The shift has resulted in a fall in demand for long-haul destinations, such as Europe and America from Indian outbound travelers. Customers, who would have normally taken international tours, are now opting for domestic destinations.

 

The current trend shows that customers are moving beyond the old school thought of just sight-seeing and shopping, they are more interested in customized packages that afford luxury yet are economical. The travel industry has thus perforce to develop packages with requisite appeal factored in. The year also witnessed the emergence of numerous online travel portals and there has been a 30% increase in the number of customers visiting such portals. The other major action taken worldwide by the aviation industry was to cut down incentives/commissions paid to travel agents.

 

Air India and Jet Airways have reduced their commission from 3% to 1% and the transaction fee of 6% that was allowed by the low cost carriers was stopped following the Supreme Court order dated 23rd January 2013 dampening the industry outlook.

 

Segment wise or Product wise Performance

 

The performance of the SBU in 2012-13 was an improvement over the previous year and generally at par with the estimates despite the industry reflecting a bearish trend. British Airways has awarded the Company a Certificate of Appreciation for outstanding performance in travel business in 2012.

 

Outlook

 

The Airline industry, to which the SBU is closely linked, is passing through very challenging times. With competition in the sector at an all-time high and airlines under margin pressure, because of increasing costs, they have resorted to various innovative methods to increase their revenue streams and cut costs. While making air-travel, especially foreign travel cheaper and stimulating e-business volumes they have been making all efforts to reach the customers directly and thereby eliminating the need for travel agents. In spite of these adverse conditions, the SBU expects significant growth in volume of business from its Corporate Client base, which is still dependent on travel agents as well as focusing on higher sales through its online portal launched during the year. The SBU is also focusing on non-ticketing revenue streams. Aggressive plans have been drawn up to promote its products and services through press and digital media.

 

The SBU is in the process of exploring and evaluating some of the upcoming IT technologies with a view to further consolidating its backend operations to support future growth plans. Also under finalisation are plans for implementing modern CRM systems with smart Business Intelligence [BI] capabilities to support the goal of offering more sophisticated, tailor-made personalized services.

 

 

LOGISTICS INFRASTRUCTURE [SBU-LI]

 

Industry Structure and Developments

 

Logistics Infrastructure comprises three main segments viz., Container Freight Station (CFS), Inland Container Depot (ICD) and Warehousing & Distribution (W&D). CFS / ICD represents common user, custom-bonded facility with public authority equipped with warehousing space, handling equipment and related IT infrastructure. It operates as an extension of the Port and helps in reducing congestion at the Ports. Services of loading / unloading and aggregation / segregation of export / import cargo are offered at such depots.

 

During 2012-13, the growth of container handling at Indian Ports was 5.75%, which was almost in line with the growth in 2011-12. The total containerized traffic at major ports in India accounts for only 22% of the total EXIM volume, which is quite low as compared to the global average of about 65% cargo containerization. The total container traffic in India during 2012-13 was around 10 million TEU’s [inclusive of transshipment, empties and coastal movements]. The Warehousing demand in India is also growing at around 6.8%

CAGR over a period from 2010-11 to 2012-13; the growth is being driven by growth in production & consumption, organized retail and logistics. It is likely to receive a further push as and when Goods & Services Tax (GST) is rolled out.

 

Presently, the SBU operates three state-of-the-art CFSs located at Nava Sheva (Navi Mumbai), Chennai and Kolkata. Incidentally, these ports handle nearly 65% of the total container traffic handled at the major Indian Ports.

Warehousing & Distribution has always been a traditionalm activity of the Company and the SBU operates such warehousing facilities at Kolkata and Coimbatore.

 

Segment wise or Product wise Performance

 

SBU: Logistics Infrastructure — together with SBU Logistics Services — continues to remain the prime profit generator of the Company in 2012-13. During the year, the CFS business recorded a nominal growth, both in volume, topline and bottom-line as compared to the previous year. Warehousing activity turned in an impressive performance recording 26% growth in volumes matched by significant growth in turnover and profit.

 

Outlook

 

Through concerted marketing efforts, the SBU has successfully withstood competitive pressures during the year. However, the impact of continued economic slow-down is being felt by the SBU.

 

The SBU is pursuing an intense growth strategy. On the anvil is a proposal to set up a Multi Modal Logistics Hub in Visakhapatnam and another in the hinterland of Kolkata. Typically, a Multi-Modal Logistics Hub is an integrated Logistics Park consisting of a Customs notified Inland Container Depot, a facility for handling Domestic Cargo, a Railhead, a Truck terminal, warehousing facilities, both general and cold storage and Container Repair facilities. To further accelerate and add to the growth of the SBU, the Company is in the process of setting up three Cold Chain Facilities in different parts of the country.

 

 

TEA [SBU-TEA]

 

Industry Structure and Developments

Tea production during 2012 touched 1126 Million Kg up by 10 Million Kg from the previous year. Favourable weather conditions prevailing in North Eastern India and increase in acreage by small tea growers were the principal reasons behind such enhanced production. The export volume of the country also went up from 193 Million Kg in 2011 to about 205 Million Kg in 2012. Domestic consumption of tea also grew by 2% to touch 890 Million Kg in 2012 as against 873 Million Kg in the previous year.

 

Segment wise or Product wise Performance

 

Over the last few years, the SBU has tried to revive its inhouse brands but the efforts at promoting these brands have not resulted in significant increase in the business volumes. Export sales of the SBU in 2012-13 were significantly lower compared to the previous year. However, domestic retail sales increased substantially, in the chosen markets in the states of West Bengal, Jharkhand & Maharashtra. During the year under report, the SBU continued its contract with a major tea producing Company for meeting its blending and packing requirements.

 

Outlook

 

With limited in-house expertise in the Tea business and considering the macro-factors narrated herein above, the prospects of the SBU generating revenue and emerging as a profitable business entity appears quite dim. From a pragmatic standpoint, therefore, the Company has taken the decision to exit the Tea business and is in the process of closing down the activity.

 

 

REFINERY & OILFIELD SERVICES [SBU-ROFS]

 

Industry Structure and Developments

 

The SBU: Refinery & Oilfield Services is engaged in the activity of Mechanized Oil Tank Sludge cleaning and Hydrocarbon Recovery Services. The SBU plans to expand the portfolio into systems for prevention of vapour loss of petroleum products from storage tanks as also other technology driven services such as Composite repair services, non-metallic technology for repair of pipelines & storage tanks to avoid unplanned shutdowns. This continues to be a nascent industry with a very limited number of players and the Company is a pioneer and leader in this nascent market.

 

Segment wise or Product wise Performance

 

In 2012-13 the SBU achieved significant growth in the turnover pertaining to oily sludge processing and it continued to retain its market leadership in hazardous sludge management. A welcome development has been the entry into the power segment.

 

Outlook

 

In the coming years, the SBU aims to spread its service portfolio — involving processing of hazardous sludge — into other industries. The SBU also has plans for increasing market awareness as to the utility of composite repairing services. The SBU is actively chalking out plans for entry into Environmental Engineering in the waste management area, which is expected to offer significant growth opportunities. For the purpose, feasibility study is being initiated.
