INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

US investment bank Goldman Sachs  has upgraded its outlook on Indian markets as it expects positive impact of the election cycle.

 

India’s economy may grow 4.7 % in the current financial year, lower than the official estimate of 4.9 %, Fitch Rating said. The global rating agency expects the economy to pick up in the next two financial years.

 

Global ratings agency Standard & Poor said increasing focus by India Inc on lowering debt is likely to improve their credit profiles.

 

Singapore (1.1 million Indian tourists in 2012), Thailand (one million), the United Arab Emirates ().98 million) and Malaysia ().82 million) emerged as the preferred holidays hotspots for Indians. The total figure is expected to increase to 1.93 million by 2017, according to the latest Eurmonitor international report.

 

There is a $29.34 bn outward foreign direct investment by domestic companies between April and January of 2013/14 which has seen some signs of recovery according to a Care Ratings report.

 

There are 264 number of new companies being set up every day on average during 2014. Most of them are registered in Mumbai. India had 1.38 million registered companies at the end of January, 2014.

 

Twitter like messaging service Weibo Corporation has filed to raise $ 500 million via a US initial public offering. Alibaba, which owns a stake in Weibo is expected to raise about $ 15 billion New York this year in the highest profile Internet IPO since Facebook’s in 2012.

 

Bharti Airtel has raised Rs.2,453.2 crore (350 million Swiss Francs) by selling six-year bonds at a coupon rate of three per cent and maturing in 2020. This is the largest ever bond offering by an Indian company in Swiss Francs. Bharat Petroleum Corporation raised 175 million Swiss Francs by selling five year bonds at 2.98 % coupon rate in February.

 

Indian Oil Corporation plans to invest Rs 7650 crore in setting up a petrochemical complex at its almost complete Paradip refinery in Odhisha in three to four years. The company board is set to consider the setting up of a 700000 tonne per annum polypropylene plant at an estimated cost at Rs.3150 crore.

Performance review of these businesses are as under:

 

 

INORGANIC CHEMICALS SEGMENT

 

INDIA OPERATIONS:

 

During the year the Company’s Industrial Chemicals operation achieved sales of Rs. 17790.000 Millions compared to sales of Rs. 14980.000 Millions in the previous year.

 

The domestic Soda Ash market witnessed a mixed year with strong growth greatly buoyed by increase in imports. The first half of the year witnessed a surge of imports and robust support from detergent and glass industries. However the second half of the year saw sluggish growth with downstream sectors reeling under market overcapacity. Pricing pressure continued to prevail in the market with macro-economic pressures due to slower growth and tightening market dynamics.

 

The sodium bicarbonate market demand exhibited strong growth of around 16% after a fl at market demand in the previous year. Even though domestic sales remained strong the market absorbed very high bicarbonate imports.

 

In order to open up new markets and explore further growth avenues the Company has engaged in trading operations in the Inorganic Chemicals space. The existing competencies of product quality customer-connect and wide distribution network will be leveraged for new and related product establishment.

 

Soda Ash

 

The Indian soda ash demand grew substantially by 12% over the previous year with record-level of imports. In spite of trade measures coming into force this year around 690000 tons primarily from Kenya Bulgaria China and Turkey entered the market. Whereas the first half of the year witnessed strong demand support the second half was affected by market overcapacity. The Company’s production of soda ash at Mithapur during the year was 693396 tons as against the previous year’s figure of 690181 tons. The Company also achieved its highest ever sales in the Indian market of 691372 tons of soda ash during the year. The Company continues to support customer specific requirements and service market growth through material sourced from its subsidiaries and growing domestic sales volume reflect this.

 

Apart from operational streamlining and maintenance improvement practices as part of its continuous improvement initiative using Lean Six Sigma framework the Company looked at newer ways of partnering with customers around the themes of sustainability and growth. Focus was laid on creation of sustainable supply chain solutions by adopting bulk movement of finished goods. Initiatives around site attractiveness and employee engagement are showing positive results evidenced by reduced attrition at the site.

 

Sodium Bicarbonate

 

During the year the Company achieved the highest ever production of 86724 tons of sodium bicarbonate as compared to the previous year’s production of 80285 tons. While this year saw record level of imports at around 20000 tons the Company maintained its market share of almost 50% with sales of 84148 tons as compared to 81381 tons in the previous year. During the year the Company not only established the branded bicarbonate offerings in the domestic market but also forayed into exports of these products. This is in line with the Company’s strategy to offer value added branded variants as the domestic market matures and grows over a period of time and is consistent with its global portfolio for this product. The overall Indian sodium bicarbonate market grew by around 16% during the year as compared to flat growth in the previous year.

 

Cement

 

The Gujarat cement market grew by 7% to 19.4 million tons during FY 2012-13. During the year the Company achieved production and sales of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) at 440750 tons and 435108 tons respectively. In addition it also produced 81699 tons and sold 82150 tons of masonry cement during the year. Exploratory work is also being evaluated for niche cement variants and down-stream products.

 

Consumer Products - Salt and related products

 

During FY 2012-13 the consumer products demonstrated strong performance by leveraging its distribution system and brand equity. During the year sales turnover of the consumer products grew by 25% to Rs. 11940.000 Millions from Rs. 9580.000 Millions in the previous year.

 

Iodised salt production in Mithapur was 800121 tons up 28.6% from 621933 tons in the previous year. Overall branded salt sales grew by 7.7% from 868525 tons in FY 2011-12 to 935579 tons in FY 2012-13. Sales of Tata Salt grew by 11.4% in volume from 654468 tons in FY 2011-12 to 728829 tons in FY 2012-13. Tata Salt continues to be the largest distributed brand with a reach of 14.3 lacs retail outlets across India.

 

Sales of I-Shakti during the year was 187686 tons. I-Shakti salt continues to meet the iodisation movement complimenting Tata Salt. The Company’s market share of its salt portfolio has increased to 66.8% in the National Branded Salt segment up from 64.3% in FY 2011-12. Sales of Tata Salt Lite grew by 30.5% in volume from 8338 tons in FY 2011-12 to 10883 tons in FY 2012-13. Sales of I-Shakti cooking soda showed an encouraging growth of 48.6% with sales of 1908 tons during the year as compared to 1284 tons in the previous year.

 

The business continues to work towards new product introduction through salt variants and development of other categories.

 

OVERSEAS OPERATIONS

 

Tata Chemicals North America Inc.

 

Tata Chemicals North America Inc. (TCNA) achieved gross sales of USD 479 million (Rs. 26046.400 Millions) and EBITDA of USD 115 million (Rs. 6252.300 Millions) for the year. These were lower by 0.4% and 6.5% respectively as against the previous year.

 

Soda Ash sales volume during the year were 2343055 tons as against the previous year volume of 2376161 tons as a result of improved operating equipment efficiencies. Global soda ash sales prices declined during the year primarily due to lower realised sales prices into the Asian and Latin American markets due to increased competition reduced demand in Europe and lower capacity utilisation in China.

 

Tata Chemicals Europe

 

Tata Chemicals Europe achieved sales turnover of GBP 186 million (Rs.16017.300 Millions) similar to the previous year. EBITDA decreased by 10% to GBP 35 million (Rs. 3008.800 Millions) reflecting lower soda ash sales and production volumes (which resulted in lower production efficiencies) primarily as a result of weaker soda ash market conditions and demand.

 

Soda Ash

 

Soda ash production was 734581 tons a decrease of 8.7% compared to the previous year reflecting weaker soda ash market conditions and demand. Production at both the soda ash facilities was adversely impacted by equipment unreliability and technical problems.

 

Sodium Bicarbonate

 

Sodium bicarbonate production was 93952 tons a decrease of 7.7% over the previous year was due to the weaker soda ash production volumes.

 

Salt

 

Salt (Purified Dried Vacuum) sales at 375414 tons (down 12.1%) and associated other salt sales collectively generated an EBITDA of GBP 16.4 million (Rs. 1410.100 Millions) with lower domestic winter demand due to unseasonably warm weather being the principal factor for the reduced sales volume.

 

Tata Chemicals Magadi Limited

 

During the year Tata Chemicals Magadi Limited (TCML) achieved a sales turnover of USD 104.3 million (Rs. 5674.600 Millions) as compared to USD 116.8 million (Rs. 5599.500 Millions) in the previous year and posted a negative EBITDA of USD 2.03 million (Rs. 110.400 Millions) as against USD 20.65 million (Rs. 990.000 Millions) in the previous year. In the fi rst quarter of FY 2012-13 unusually heavy rains flooded lake Magadi severely affecting access to the raw material and ultimately affecting the soda ash production. In the second quarter of FY 2012-13 the Governments of India and Pakistan imposed an anti-dumping duty of approximately USD 20 / tons on all imported soda ash from Kenya. This action led to a delay in confirmation of orders by customers a temporary disruption of TCML sales to these markets and a reduction in the sales price realisation. EBITDA for the year was also affected by one-time fixed costs of USD 2.4 million (Rs. 130.600 Millions).

 

Despite the prevailing adverse conditions described above production performance of the Premium Ash (PAM) plant stabilised and significant improvements were achieved in efficiencies for fuel and power usage. In addition TCML continued to focus on operating effectiveness and efficiencies with initiatives such as Lean Six Sigma. Conversion to coal gasification in lieu of heavy fuel oil is on course with the primary aim to achieve long-term sustainable competitive advantage.

 

 

AMALGAMATION OF WYOMING-1 (MAURITIUS) PRIVATE LIMITED WITH THE COMPANY

 

During the year, the Scheme of Amalgamation of Wyoming-1 (Mauritius) Private Limited (Wyoming-1), a wholly owned subsidiary, with the Company (‘the Scheme’) was filed before the High Court of Judicature at Bombay for its sanction pursuant to Section 391-394 of the Companies Act, 1956 (‘the Act’).

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

 

Global

 

The world economy is expected to grow by 3.1% in 2013 the same as in 2012 as indicated by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF expects advanced economies to grow by 1.2% while emerging economies are expected to grow by 5% in 2013.

 

Growth in the advanced economies is not expected to pick up with growth in US projected lower at 1.7% (2.2% in

2012) and the Euro Area expected to remain stagnant at -0.6%. On the other hand Japan is likely to show a slight improvement in growth to 2% from 1.9% in 2012.

 

While downside risks to global growth may have waned the Emerging Market Economies (EMEs) are experiencing signs of a longer growth slowdown. Growth prospects in these economies are expected to be tenuous in 2013. Even though some of the major economies show better growth they would still be below the potential which was reached in the pre-crisis period. The biggest economy amongst EMEs i.e. China is estimated to grow by a steady 7.8% in 2013 the same as 2012. Looking ahead it will be difficult to sustain the high growth rate should domestic consumption not expand.

 

Domestic

 

India’s economy is estimated to have grown 5% during Financial Year (FY) 2012-13 down from 6.2% in FY 2011-12. It is expected to pick-up to around 5.6% in FY 2013-14 on the back of expected good monsoons expected improvement in the savings-investment scenario furthering of fiscal reforms along with supportive monetary policy support to consumption from rural demand in a pre-election year and a slightly more supportive external economic environment. A normal monsoon in terms of both its timing and geographic dispersion is critical for agriculture sector output and demand. Despite the increase growth is expected to remain below the potential of the economy especially compared to the pre-crisis high-growth phase.

 

A major factor behind the downturn in the Indian economy has been a decline in the corporate investment and the household financial savings rate. High cost of capital weak demand expectations of firms problems in securing essential raw materials (especially coal and iron ore) and fuel linkages problems in acquiring necessary clearances and land acquisition have collectively contributed to the weak investment scenario.

 

The decline in the savings rate is largely a result of lower corporate profits and government savings combined with a decline in household financial savings due to high inflation. Liquidity remained tight almost throughout the year. This coupled with large government borrowings deterred banks’ ability to provide credit to the private sector. Interest rates also remained elevated. So far the Reserve Bank of India has been conservative in reducing policy rates.

 

India’s Current Account Deficit (CAD) was higher at 4.8% of GDP during FY 2012-13 compared to 4.2% of GDP during FY 2011-12 fuelled by rising imports of oil and gold. Large CAD which rose to a record high of 6.7% in Q3

2012 contributed to the weakness of the Rupee which has averaged at 54.32/USD in FY 2012-13 as against 47.87/ USD in FY 2011-12a depreciation of 13.4%.

 

 

INORGANIC CHEMICALS

 

The key products under the segment of Inorganic Chemicals are soda ash sodium bicarbonate cement and salt.

 

Soda Ash

 

With a capacity of over 5 million tons the Company is the second largest soda ash manufacturer in the World with

8% global capacity share. About two-thirds of this capacity is based on natural soda ash. This unique feature helps the Company to have a low energy intensity and low environmental footprint. The Company’s natural soda ash (derived from trona) operations are located at Lake Magadi in Kenya and at the Green River Basin of Wyoming in the USA where the world’s largest deposits of trona occur. Synthetic soda ash and sodium bicarbonate are manufactured at Mithapur India and Northwich UK. This process uses brine (salt water) and limestone as key raw materials.

 

With manufacturing facilities located across the four continents of North America Europe Africa and Asia the Company has the ability to optimally serve customers across the globe. Additionally distributed sourcing of raw

materials increases the reliability of supplies and mitigates the risks associated with potential regional disruptions that can adversely impact the global supply chain.

 

Emerging economies have been the primary growth driver for soda ash over the past decade. With rapidly increasing GDP and urbanisation these economies have experienced an increased per capita consumption of products using soda ash including fl at glass (automobiles housing) container glass (beverages) detergents baked goods clean water and sodium based chemicals. The global soda ash demand grew at 1.8% to 54 million tons in 2012. While majority of this growth was still in China Chinese domestic demand growth did see a slowdown compared to previous years. Overall world demand is forecast to grow at 4% p.a. through 2017 with fl at glass line additions in developing regions fuelling this demand growth.

 

Global soda ash production capacity increased approximately 6% to 65 Million tons with most of the capacity addition happening in China. Some synthetic manufacturers like Penrice (Australia) and Solvay (WEP) have announced capacity closures this year. Overcapacity in the market continues to be region specific. China and Europe have more capacity than demand while the producers in US Turkey and India are operating at high rates. World operating rates dropped from 86% in the previous year to about 83% during the year. World supply is forecast to grow at 3.7% p.a. through 2017 with China and Turkey leading this capacity addition.

 

Global soda ash prices increased in 2012 in the USA India and Europe reflecting increased input costs across the world as well as tight soda ash supply in some of these regions. However soda ash prices decreased in the major trading regions of Southeast Asia and Latin America as the U.S. producers gained market share primarily against the Chinese producers. By early 2013 pricing in these regions has largely stabilised as the U.S. producers find themselves near 100% capacity utilisation. Prices are expected to remain at current levels in the short term or see marginal upward revision in the second half of FY 2013-14.

 

In FY 2012-13 the Indian soda ash market witnessed two contrasting halves. The first half saw unprecedented growth of imports inspite of trade measures becoming effective in April 2012. The imports for FY 2012-13 were at a historical high of around 690000 tons. Low monsoon resulted in the detergent production not dipping during

that period. Overall detergent growth was robust and most fl oat and container glass units were operating at nearly full capacity. However towards the latter part of the year container glass units were operating at sub-optimal rates due to overcapacity and detergent end-use demand slowed down marginally. The domestic market witnessed an impressive overall growth of 12% for FY 2012-13 however accompanied by reports of higher inventory levels with customers and in trade markets.

 

While another fl oat glass line is expected to be commissioned in Rajasthan in FY 2013-14 it is estimated that the

overall soda ash consumption in fl at glass will not see an increase. It is expected that some fl oat glass units and container glass units will continue production at reduced operating rates to counter market overcapacity pressures.

 

Detergent demand is expected to improve on the back of end-use demand leading to an overall 4-5% p.a. growth in the Indian soda ash market over the next 5 years.

 

Sodium Bicarbonate

 

Sodium bicarbonate is commonly used as an ingredient in pharmaceuticals food additives animal feed and air pollution control. The Company is the world’s fourth largest producer of sodium bicarbonate with about 6% capacity share (FY 2012-13) and is the market leader in India and UK.

 

In Europe Tata Chemicals Europe’s (TCE) sodium bicarbonate brands Briskarb® and Alkakarb® have wide market acceptance and an established position. In 2012 demand for sodium bicarbonate in the UK was 60000 tons a marginal decrease compared to 2011 as some pharmaceutical production moved overseas although they required TCE product. The UK market continues to be driven by treatment of flue gas from waste incineration activities. TCE’s reputation for quality and differentiated grades continues to be its strength in the development of niche value sectors such as foam blowing soda blasting and other more graded product applications.

 

In India sales were marginally higher during the year helping the Company achieve a market share of over 50% in the domestic market. Sodium bicarbonate demand continues to demonstrate healthy growth across all consuming sectors particularly in food related applications. Growth rates of 8-10% p.a. are anticipated for the next 5 years. Growth drivers are reagent demand in alkali leaching of uranium ore and sustained incremental demand in the food and feed sectors.

 

Cement

 

The Company’s cement plant was setup in the year 1993 to convert solid wastes generated as by-products of soda ash manufacture to value-added products. The Company uses technology to separate solid effl uents and process them into Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and Masonry cement. Masonry cement enables the Company to convert its fly ash (generated in the power plant) into useful binding material. While the upward trend in raw material and freight costs is likely to be a key challenge for the business the Company will continue to focus on catering to the nearby markets for maximising realisations.

 

Cement sales crossed 500000 tons for the second time in 5 years in FY 2012-13 building upon the good performance in the previous year. This will continue to be supported by high regional growth rates of 9% estimated for FY 2013-14 up from 7% for FY 2012-13.

 

Salt

 

In India the estimated current annual consumption of edible salt is approximately 5.7 million tons. The demand for edible salt is expected to grow at around 1.5% p.a. The private sector contributes over 88% of the salt production the public sector has a share of about 2% while the cooperative sector contributes the balance 10%.

 

The salt portfolio of the Company continued to grow in FY 2012-13 leveraging its brand equity and a strong distribution network. While continuing its leadership position in the packaged salt market ’Tata Salt’ was ranked second in the Most Trusted Food brands as per the Economic Times Brand Equity Survey.

 

Tata Salt has shown growth in southern India with the Brand Equity Index (BEI) at 6.3 its highest ever level. This is also corroborated through growing sales in the southern market. ’Tata Salt Lite’ continues to lead in the premium low-sodium salt segment with a growing awareness and consumption driven by North Indian markets. All the salt brands continued to grow and together have achieved a market share of 66.8% amongst the national salt brands.

 

In the UK white (or Purified Dried Vacuum or PDV) salt has two major markets i.e. food and water softening. While historically these two demand sectors have been boosted by road treatment for winter weather conditions the market is less likely to require white salt for this purpose in today’s more sensitised environment therefore these spot sales opportunities are becoming more limited.

 

UK sales volume remained fl at as against the previous year with TCE holding market share of just over 50%. TCE has a key focus on providing high level of customer service to both the key sectors.
