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.

FREUDENBERG OPENS NEW LOGISTICS CENTER 

 

3/31/2014

 

Kaiserslautern, March 28, 2014. Responding to an increase in demand, Freudenberg Filtration Technologies, a Business Group of the globally-active technology company Freudenberg, yesterday opened a new logistics center in Kaiserslautern. “The logistics center sends a clear signal about our commitment to Kaiserslautern. And the resulting proximity of production and logistics, ensures we will be able to fulfill customer needs with regard to product availability and flexibility in supply,” said Dr. Jörg Sievert, Member of the Freudenberg Filtration Technologies Board. The multi-purpose facility was inaugurated in a ceremony together with Dr. Klaus Weichel, Mayor of Kaiserslautern, Knuth Fickartz, Head of Automotive Filters, Europe, as well as the Deputy Chairman of the Kaiserslautern Works’ Council, Gunter Mühlberger. The center was built in partnership with Skipiol Immobilien. The total investment being made is around €12 million.

Having a floor area of around 12,000 square meters, the multi-purpose facility in Kaiserslautern serves the packaging and distribution of filters. Around 270 Freudenberg Filtration Technologies employees manufacture micronAir car cabin filters at the site. MicronAir is used by automotive and air conditioning manufacturers, as well as in industrial plants throughout Europe. The car cabin air filter protects car occupants from dust, as well as pollen, particulates, bacteria, industrial dust and other fine particles that can enter the lungs. The combi filter absorbs harmful gases such as ozone and benzene, as well as unpleasant odors. High-performance synthetic air filters for combustion engines are also manufactured at the site. 

 

With the new logistics center, products can be delivered more quickly to the customer. Six height-adjustable docking stations make it possible to load and unload up to 45 trucks per day. To avoid traffic problems, the new facility has its own truck access.


The European market for cabin air filters is growing. As a result, Freudenberg has increased its production by 30 percent since 2008. Two thirds of all vehicles on the road are equipped with Freudenberg Filtration Technologies cabin air filters. The Business Group supplies the European market from its factories in Potvorice, Slovakia and Kaiserslautern.  In September last year, a new multi-purpose facility was opened in Potvorice.


Freudenberg has been present in Kaiserslautern since 1970. Filters have been manufactured here since 2001. Locally, the family-owned company is not only represented by Freudenberg Filtration Technologies, but also by the Freudenberg Nonwovens and Helix Medical Business Groups. In total, over 500 Freudenberg employees work in Kaiserslautern.
