INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

N E W S

 

As per the latest IMF study, the total weigh of emerging markets in the GDP of the world on a purchasing power parity basis has seen a sizeable shift. It highlights how as against 51 % in 2005, the emerging economies now account for close to 56 % of the global purchasing power GDP as per the latest survey. And with the emerging economies growing at a faster rate than their developed counterparts, there are every possibility that the their share goes up further in the coming years.  China may surpass the US over the next few years.

 

Politics and economics are very intricately connected. They tend to influence each other in ways that could be very complex and far-reaching. The prospects of the India’s economy have been seriously compromised due to political corruption. High inflation, poor standard of living are to a great extent a result of rampant corruption in the country. China on the other hand, seems to be facing diametrically opposite challenge. American hedge fund manager Jim Chanos has been keenly following the political and economic development in the dragon economy and has figured out something that is quite worrying. He is of the view that the Chinese economy could be heading toward trouble on account of new Chinese President Xi Jingping’s very aggressive anti-corruption drive. Chanos believes tat many things such as apartment sales, luxury products, etc. were largely bought with dirty money. And it is now beginning to impact consumption. This may indeed be bad news for an economy that is struggling to transition from an investment-driven export-oriented economy to a domestic consumption-driven economy.

 

A study published by Firstpost has revealed that asset classes like real estate and equities were the biggest beneficiaries of the liberalization policies.  A firm called Ciane Analytics studied returns from assets including equities, gold, fixed deposits, G-Secs and real estate since 1991. Real estate outperformed every other asset classes during the 23-year period with an annualized return of 20 % ! Equities came in second with annualized return of 15.5 % ! However, while these returns may seem mouthwatering, the fact is that the return from equities adjusted for inflation came down to just 7.1 %.

OPERATIONS:

 

Iron Ore Business

 

During the year, the Company’s sale volume of iron ore fell drastically to 0.445 million tons (which was entirely sold in the export market) as against 3.297 million tons achieved during the previous Financial Year 2011-12 (when 3.266 million tons were exported and 0.030 million tons were sold locally). China was the destination for the entire iron ore sold, as supply of higher grade ore to traditional destinations like Japan and South Korea continued to be affected due to delay in renewal of some of their mining leases.

 

The sharp drop in exports was due to shipments having taken place only during April ~ May, 2012. No exports could be effected post the monsoon off-season period due to the restrictions on mining and transportation in the wake of investigations into illegal mining. Delay in the grant of lease renewals at some of the Company’s mines and the curb on recovery of ore from old dumps also affected production and sales.

 

The Hon’ble Justice Shah Commission of Inquiry for illegal mining of iron ore and manganese ore, which was appointed by the Government of India for the purpose of making an inquiry into mining of iron ore and manganese ore, submitted their Report on Mines in Goa dated 15.03.2012 and the same was placed before Parliament on 07.09.2012. Shah Commission Report alleged that all modes of illegal mining are being conducted in the State of Goa and suggested various remedial measures, considering the nature of illegalities committed.

 

In the wake of alleged irregularities pointed out in the Report of the Commission, Government of Goa vide its Order dated 10.09.2012 temporarily suspended all mining operations in the State of Goa w.e.f 11.09.2012 untill further orders. The Order dated 10.09.2012 further stated that the Verification and Clearance Committee will scrutinize the documents, approvals, etc. and mining leases having valid clearance only will be allowed to commence mining operations for the rest of the season.

 

Subsequently, on 14.09.2012 the Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of India issued a direction under Section 5 of the Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986 for keeping in abeyance the Environmental Clearance accorded to all the mining leases in the State of Goa, with immediate effect, until further orders. All the project proponents were directed to submit the necessary documents to the Ministry to verify the legality of the Environmental Clearance granted under which each of the mine has been operating.

 

Further, in Writ Petition (Civil) No.435/2012 filed before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India by Goa Foundation against Union of India and Others, the Hon’ble Supreme Court, vide its Order dated 05.10.2012 directed the Central Empowered Committee to submit its report to the Hon’ble Supreme Court and in the meanwhile until further Orders, all mining operations in the leases identified in the Shah Commission’s Report and transportation of iron ore and manganese ore from those leases were suspended.

 

The Company filed an Application before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in Writ Petition (Civil) No. 435/2012 for Impleadment/Intervention and took steps for challenging the said Writ Petition. The hearing of the matter in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India will determine the future course of action. Matter is expected to come up for hearing in mid-September and the Company is hopeful of a favourable Order from the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Various measures/decisions taken by the State Government as well as by the Central Government, particularly from the Ministry of Environment and Forest are also critical to the early resumption of mining.

 

Meanwhile, while discussions continued with our Japanese and South Korean buyers on the quarterly pricing system under their long-term contracts with them until the stoppage in mining, they did not ship ore to them due to further delay in renewal of one of their mining leases which is critical for producing the ore of quality contracted with them and due to the stoppage of mining during the middle of the year.

 

Export duty remained at a very high level of 30% affecting the Company’s profitability.

 

Future Prospects:

 

The present stoppage of iron ore mining and exports has left the Company with no sales of ore during Financial Year 2013-14 till date. Only lifting of the restriction by the Hon’ble Supreme Court and obtaining related clearances will enable the Company to resume mining and export during the year. The outcome of the hearing of the matter before the Hon’ble Supreme Court is therefore keenly awaited.

 

A cap on overall volume of mining in Goa at a level lower than exports in the recent past years is a distinct possibility. Reductions in limits of production in environmental clearances of individual mines/leases could also reduce production.

 

Globally supply of iron ore is increasing substantially as many new projects in which investment was made during the past years of high demand come on-stream. Iron ore prices are therefore expected to stabilize and move lower in the medium-term.

 

The contract with long-term buyer NSC has expired at the end of the year and that with POSCO will expire at the end of the current year. A decision on initiating discussions to renew these contracts will be taken after reviewing the situation once permission for resumption of mining/exports is obtained.

 

The Study Group under the Chairmanship of Secretary, Ministry of Mines, appointed for review of royalty rates has recommended a hike in royalty rates on iron ore from 10% to 15% which may be implemented during the current year. A stipulation for payment of an amount equal to royalty on iron ore production for development of the local community under the new mining law due to be implemented would also adversely affect the bottom-line of the Company in future.

 

As part of its efforts to add to its reserves of ore, the Company continues to work actively to acquire new mining leases in various states of India.

PRESS RELEASE

 

SALGAOCAR BROTHERS MOVE HIGH COURT OVER PROPERTY DISPUTE

 

OCT 11, 2013,

 

MUMBAI: The Salgaocar brothers, one of Goa's biggest business groups, are locked in a battle over separation of the group's assets after one brother accused the other of reneging on a signed agreement.

 

Shivanand Salgaocar, son of Vasudev Salgaocar, who founded the mines-to-hotels group in the 1950s, has filed a petition in the Bombay High Court asking that a settlement agreed upon by the two brothers be implemented.

 

He has alleged that the family of Dattaraj Salgaocar had walked out of the agreement, claiming that the agreement was "tax evasive".

 

At stake are two family mansions in Goa, several offices, iron ore mines, a hotel business and ships worth hundreds of crores.

 

The case came up for hearing on Thursday. Justice SJ Kathawala said he will hear the petition filed by Shivanand against his brother Dattaraj on October 17. Mumbai-based law firm Dastur Dadhich and Kalambi is representing Shivanand while younger brother Dattaraj is being represented by two law firms - Gagrat and Company and Federal and Rashmikant

 

The Economic Times has reviewed the petition. ET tried to reach Shivanand who responded saying he's travelling abroad and asked us to get in touch with his office. Dattaraj Salgaocar in an email response to our queries said: "I have no comments to offer as the matter is sub judice."

 

The crux of the dispute is the memorandum of understanding by the two groups reached in October 2009. This proposal divided the family businesses and business assets and properties into the mining business and hotel business referred in the petition as 'business baskets'.

 

The MoU also provided for the segregation and division of the family businesses, the estate and the two family residential properties, and the steps needed to be taken to implement the division. The petition said that several resolutions were later passed by Salgaocar group companies to facilitate the settlement.

 

"Both the families were almost reaching a settlement but then we don't know what happened," said a person involved in the case, and declined to give more details citing it family's internal matter. "We are hoping to get it settled very soon."

 

Dattaraj is married to Dipti, the sister of Mukesh and Anil Ambani. Officials from both the Reliance groups appeared to have helped in the original agreement.

 

Shivanand's petition says that the division of assets was initially a smooth affair. "With professional advice of Atul Dayal, Gautam Doshi and tax and financial advisors KPMG, Dattaraj Salgaocar for himself and on behalf of his group consciously chose and elected to take the hotel business basket."

 

A written communication (letter of election) dated December 11, 2009, of the binding acceptance of the hotel basket and signed by Dattaraj Salgaocar was sent to the Shivanand faction.

 

Goa mining stakeholders want early resumption of operations

 

Panaji: The drafting of a new mining policy, which is mandatory to resume iron ore extraction and exports from Goa, should be expedited so that the key industry gets back on its feet, according to stake-holders.

 

Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar had earlier said the policy would be drafted by June-end but the stakeholders feel the government should fast-track the process so that the mining industry, which has been reeling under a Supreme Court ban for last two years, can resume operations.

 

The ban, which has been now lifted, and halt in mining operations had resulted in loss of jobs and revenue to both companies and the state exchequer, they said.

 

"Everybody dependent on the mining industry hopes the activity resumes immediately. It's up to the state government to make it happen. I don't understand why the Chief Minister is delaying the process (of policy formulation)," Suhas Naik, Convenor, Goa Mining People's Front, told reporters.

 

The front is a body representing people affected by suspension of mining activity in Goa. The mining industry has been facing allegations of rampant illegalities, leading to the ban in 2012.

 

The ban was lifted in April by the apex court, which gave powers to the state government to regulate the industry.

 

The SC order had also declared the exports since last five years as illegal and cancelled mining leases which were not renewed after 2007, rendering them as state property.

 

Post the ruling, Parrikar had said his Government will come out with a new policy for the sector.

 

"Parrikar used to say let (Narendra) Modi come to power at the Centre, I will resume the mining immediately. Now Modi is in the Centre. What stops Parrikar from fulfilling his promise?" Naik said.

 

He pointed out that mining in Karnataka, Chhattisgarh and Odisha has restarted, while Goa is still lagging behind.

 

Goa Mineral Ore Exporters Association (GMOEA), too, has called for immediate resumption of mining activity. "Our expectation is that the mining should restart as early as possible," GMOEA Chief Executive Officer S Sridhar said.

 

The mine owners are reluctant to come on record, but said they are ready to cooperate with the government on the issue.

 

Parrikar has said he is waiting to visit New Delhi and meet the Union Minister concerned as part of mining policy formulation process.

 

 

GOA PLANNING TO START MINING FROM OCT: PARRIKAR

 

APRIL 25, 2014

 

Post Supreme Court partially lifting iron ore mining ban in the state, the Goa government expects the mineral extraction to start from October and reach 20 million tonnes per annum level in the next 12 months. 

 

"Even reaching 20 million tonnes is not so easy immediately. So, it will take one year to reach the target, though we are planning to start by October or November," Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar told reporters in Hyderabad. 

 

The Supreme Court earlier this week had lifted its 18-month-old ban on all mining activities in Goa by allowing annual excavation of up to 20 million tonnes of iron ore. 

 

The apex court passed a slew of directions for the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) and the Goa government for strictly regulating mining activities in the state till the expert panel, set up by it, submits its final report. 

 

The Chief Minister said mining which contributes as much as 25 per cent to the state economy had been impacted negatively by the ban. 

 

"It (the partial lifting of ban) is going to benefit the state a lot. But the first target is to take care of the people, who were rendered unemployed, whose businesses have been affected by the earlier ban," he said replying to a query on the impact of the earlier ban. 

 

He said the state mining policy will be ready in a couple of months and it will have a clear-cut policy framework as far as mining is concerned. 

 

"Maybe in a couple of months we should be ready with the policy. There will be a clear-cut policy frame work. At the national level also we require a transparent policy framework under which everyone will get the benefit," he added. 

 

To a query, he said the government has no intention of taking up mining as demanded by some pressure groups.

 

 

 

GOA MINING POLICY TO REGULARISE "ILLEGAL" ORES: CM

 

15th July 2014

 

PANAJI: Goa's soon to be announced state mining policy would device means to regularise iron ore mined during 2007-2012, which was termed "illegal" by a recent Supreme Court judgement.

 

"Those who mined the minerals during 2007-2012 didn't know that it was illegal to do so. It was decided that it is illegal in the year 2014 (by the SC judgement)," Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar told reporters here today. 

 

He said that the mining policy would work out a solution to give an opportunity to mine owners to regularise their irregular ore. 

 

"People should be given an opportunity to turn their irregularity into regularity. The mining police would be a solution," the Goa chief minister said, without specifying how exactly the policy would be framed.

 

Parrikar said that although the ore exported during 2007-2012 is estimated to be Rs 300000.000 Millions, the recovery of money would have to be calculated based on profits earned by mine owners and not on the value of ore mined.

 

He said that the answer on how the money would be recovered would be specified in the mining policy.

 

The Goa chief minister also ruled out forming a corporation to run mining leases in the state. He said that running a mine and exports is a "logistics nightmare". 

 

"A few people want us to set up a corporation. It is very easy for them to say so, but it is a logistics nightmare and only corporates with experience in the area can do it," he said.

 

 

GOA GOVERNMENT STARTS PROCESS TO OFFSET RS 10000.000 MILLIONS LOANS

 

Jun 28, 2014

 

The Goa government on June 28 began an exercise to offset loans of the people dependent on mining activity, whose borrowings worth Rs 10000.000 Millions are fearing to get into a bad debt. State's Chief minister Manohar Parrikar on June 28 held a meeting with financial institutions, including cooperative banks, nationalised banks and urban credit banks, to take an overview of the loan amount pending with them. It can be noted that the iron ore extraction has stopped in the state since September 2012.

 

"The total borrowing, including interest, is of Rs 10000.000 Millions. The financial institutions have been asked to revert to the government after reworking on the figures. "They (banks) have been asked to inform about the exact amount, they are ready to waive off," Parrikar, told reporters after the meeting. BJP MLAs - Nilesh Cabral, Subhash Faldesai and Pramod Sawant -- representing the constituencies in the mining belt, also attended the meeting. The Chief Minister said that the government can step in to help people, by paying off some of the loan amount, if banks provide one time settlement (OTS) for them. "For those who can't pay the money under OTS, their liabilities can be shifted to another institution, which will offer them the soft loan to pay off the main amount to the bank. Institutions will be given guarantee of repayment by the state government, Parrikar said, adding the government is in the process of finalising a proper scheme to set off the serious loan issue, which will be settled by September this year.

 

He said a financial scheme could be only chalked out, when the government knows the exact amount of loan liabilities with various banks. According to sources, Rs 4500.000 Millions is exposure of the nationalised banks, followed by Rs 3500.000 Millions of cooperative banks and Rs 3000.000 Millions of the financial institutions. He also hinted that the state government would make financial provision to assist the people during the upcoming state legislative assembly's budget session. "Mining policy is being framed, mandatory for restarting of this economic activity. The policy will be ready by third week of July," he said, adding the mines department is in the process of framing it.
