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 %.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS:

 

During the Financial Year 2012-13, both the global and domestic economies witnessed slower growth. Many countries in Euro zone faced recessionary trends. Operating in such testing conditions was a challenge for Indian Industries especially the automotive sector. Faced with high inflation, high interest rates, decelerating GDP growth, volatile commodity and diesel prices and lack of funding and investment in infrastructure projects, the performance of the Indian Auto Industry showed marginal or negative growth in almost all segments.

 

Production of Passenger and Utility vehicles showed a marginal increase of 2.8% during 2012-13, mainly aided by the surge in demand for diesel powered utility vehicles. Output of Medium and Heavy Commercial vehicles was the worst affected by the negative economic factors and witnessed a decline of 27.6% during the year. Growth in Light Commercial Vehicles, in spite of increased numbers in the smaller 4 wheelers (with GVW less than 3.5T), was overall muted at 1.6%. Tractor production that continued its downward trend from the last quarter of the previous fiscal year also decreased by 9.8%.

 

The decline in Vehicle production had its effect on the Brake Division s sales to OE customers which declined marginally by 1.3%. The drop in OE sales would have been much greater but for the new businesses won by subject and several measures taken by it to protect and increase its market share. Sale of brake parts to the replacement market was sluggish on account of high interest rates, lack of liquidity in the market and inventory reduction in the distribution chain. With the softening of export market demand in Europe, export sales of Brake Division declined marginally by 1.9%.

 

Sale of castings to external customers from the Foundry Division declined by 2.6% from the previous year.

 

Given the economic and market conditions, overall Sale revenue registered a drop of 1.4%.

 

Input costs of some commodities saw a rise during the first half of the financial year and moderated later. But its volatility resulted in strong customer resistance to price revision to reflect the increased material costs. The power situation in Tamil Nadu remained grim and subject experienced several unscheduled power cuts and forced power holidays which not only caused production disturbances but also increased costs due to higher cost of diesel generated power. High domestic inflation numbers also resulted in general increase in employee costs and other conversion costs thereby exerting pressure on subject s margins in a depressed market.

 

The continuous and sustained pursuit for cost reduction through special teams, improving productivity through kaizens and continuous improvement programmes the constant endeavor to improve operational excellence and in addition, effective working capital and treasury management have helped subject to protect overall profitability levels.

 

Towards the end of the financial year a customer concern on a part supplied by subject arose, which in the opinion of the customer required a recall of their vehicles produced during a certain period for replacement with a new part. subject fully co-operated with the customer and rose to the challenge of supplying the new part within a short time. While the root cause and appropriate counter measures are being explored jointly with the customer and technical partner TRW, subject has made financial provision to meet the eventuality of customer seeking cost reimbursement for recall.

 

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK:

 

The leading Macro Economic indicators continue to be disappointing in the current year and the vehicle demand and production levels have further come down during the first quarter. Large current account and fiscal deficit, rising fuel prices on account of a depreciating Rupee, volatile exchange rates and continuing energy shortage pose challenges. As a result, the overall sentiment in the automotive industry in the short run is negative and one of uncertainty. Subject is constantly assessing the market situation and taking proactive measures to meet the business challenges it faces in the short term, while still keeping a positive view on the long term prospects.

 

Construction activity at the new Manufacturing site at Jhagadia (Gujarat) is nearing completion and the first phase of production is expected to commence during the second half of the financial year 2013-14.

 

 

 

 

CERTIFICATIONS, RECOGNITIONS AND AWARDS:

 

Subject constant focus is to increase customer satisfaction levels and customer delight covering all parameters and this has been recognized by way of various awards granted, which include:-

 

1)       Best Supplier Award for overall performance -Tractor and Farm Equipments.

2)       Best in class performance in "Quality" for the year 2012-13 - from Ashok Leyland Limited
