INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

NEWS

 

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 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 that 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 %.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

About the Company

 

The Company is an infrastructure EPC major with presence in Power Transmission and Distribution (T&D), Cables, Railways and Water. The business is spread across 50 countries in South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, the Americas and Southeast Asia.

 

Economy and Power Sector Review

 

A. global economic scenario

Global economic recovery is gradually strengthening. The feeble growth experienced by most of the economies across the world during the period 2008–2013 is gradually fading. The developed economies are gaining traction and emerging market economies are seeing revival mainly on account of increased exports and stable domestic demand. Policy measures combined with implementation of structural reforms are expected to boost growth in the coming years. The global economy is projected to grow from 2.4% in 2013 to 3.1% in 2014 and 3.3% in 2015.

 

Indian economic scenario

The Indian economy continued to grow at moderate levels of 4.9% in FY14 (E) and 4.5% in FY13. As compared to the high growth levels of 8-10% during earlier years, the sub 5% growth in last two years was primarily due to high inflationary pressures, policy related issues and consequence of slow growth experienced by certain advanced economies.

 

During FY14, the agriculture sector witnessed growth backed by good monsoons. Overall exports witnessed growth and imports declined due to which trade deficit narrowed. Taking a macro perspective, the outlook is positive. The Government of India has undertaken several reform measures, including the clearance of several large infrastructure projects. The prospects of revival of global economy also further point to a better outlook for the Indian economy.

 

Power Sector Review

A country’s economic growth is directly correlated with the growth of power sector which in turn depends on continuous availability and uninterrupted supply of electricity. The power scarcity coupled with growing global demand is driving substantial investments in Power Generation which necessitates investments in Transmission and Distribution (T&D) infrastructure for efficient and reliable availability of power. Total investment needs for T&D from 2010 to 2035 are envisaged at USD 1.8 trillion and USD 5.2 trillion, respectively. Apart from generation-linked T&D projects, old existing network replacements, grid strengthening and grid interconnections are also likely to drive demand.

 

Around 22% of the world’s population still does not have access to electricity of which about 29.3% reside in South Asia (including India) and about 65.4% live in Sub-Saharan Africa. The per capita power consumption in these regions is also very low as compared to the world average. For the growth of these regions, development of power infrastructure is a necessity. This translates into abundant development opportunities for the Company. The Company is present in most countries of these regions so that it can meet the huge requirement of power infrastructure investments.

 

Industry outlook and opportunities across businesses and related geographies

This section highlights the industry outlook and opportunities in each of the Company’s Business - Power Transmission and Distribution, Cables, Railways and Water.

 

Power Transmission and Distribution Business – Outlook and Opportunities

This is the largest business vertical of the Company. KEC has global leadership position in the power transmission space and increasing presence in power distribution space. This business is spread across various regions. Region-wise outlook and opportunities in this business are as follows:

 

I. South Asia (India)

India’s rapidly growing population combined with increasing urbanisation and industrialisation requires uninterrupted and sufficient supply of power. The Indian Power sector, although having grown substantially in last few decades, has always seen demand significantly higher than its supply, rendering India a power deficit country. The 12th (2012-17) and 13th (2017-2022) five year plans provide growth opportunities for the Indian power sector and more specifically for the Indian Transmission and Distribution sector.

 

The planned transmission line capacity addition and distribution capacity addition during the 12th five year plan envisages an investment of around Rs.1800000.000 millions and Rs.3062350.000 millions respectively.

 

The growth in intra-state networks, which falls under the State Electricity Boards (SEBs) and their transmission utilities (STUs) has not been able to match the inter-state capacity addition due to financial constraints. However, towards the end of 2012 the Government of India (GoI) cleared the restructuring program for SEBs. Some of the SEBs are in the process of restructuring their debt, a move which is likely to expedite progress of this sector and provide opportunities for power and its ancillary industries.

 

The Government is also encouraging private sector participation in the T&D sector. They are incrementally seeing projects being awarded through competitive bidding processes on BOO / BOOT / BOOM model.

 

Challenges: The sector continues to face challenges like inadequate fuel linkages for generation capacity additions, land acquisition (right of way), statutory clearances and poor financial health of SEBs.

 

Telecom Business: The Company also provides installation of optical fibre networks and telecom towers. The GoI had approved establishing of National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN) in October 2011 to provide broadband connectivity to the Country’s 250,000 Gram Panchayats. The Government plans to use existing networks of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), Railtel and PGCIL for this purpose. The total investment for this is estimated at Rs.200000.000 millions.

 

II. South Asia Region (SAARC excluding India)

The region suffers from energy deficiency. The Company’s presence in the region has been increasing. During the year, it secured orders from Bhutan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Nepal. It expects to benefit from encouraging investment opportunities, strong local presence and execution experience in the region. Further, India’s cross border electricity transmission interconnections with Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan are also being expanded to facilitate power trade between the countries.

 

III. The MENA Region

The MENA region is experiencing a rise in power demand led by strong economic and demographic growth associated with rapid urbanisation and strong industrial growth in the region. The region is also diversifying fuel sources and investing in solar power generation. International Energy Agency (IEA) expects the region’s power generation contribution from renewable sources to increase from 3% currently to 7% by 2030.

 

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries – The GCC countries expect to invest USD 10.7 billion in transmission networks during 2013 to 2017. Saudi Arabia, the region’s largest market, has the highest power demand followed by UAE. They have planned several large power generating projects, including nuclear power plants. Besides, Kuwait and Oman have also announced their plans to expand transmission lines network to meet the growing power demand.

 

North Africa – Although in recent years, investment in this region was stagnant due to political turmoil, the scenario is gradually improving. With restoration of stability, power investment being the basic growth fundamental, is expected to be one of the key focus areas in the region.

 

IV. Rest of Africa Region excluding North Africa

Africa faces energy deficit and has significant growth potential. The region’s per capita electricity consumption in the year 2011 (535 kWh v/s World average of 3,044 kWh) was one of the lowest globally and over two-third of its population is still without access to electricity. This makes the continent a region with under-exploited energy resources and under-served demand, compared to the rest of the world.

 

Various multilateral funding agencies are allocating funds for new projects in this region. Further, various cross border transmission line interconnections are also being planned to improve power transmission infrastructure and create an efficient energy exchange among the countries.

 

V. Central Asia Region

Central Asia continues to be a high potential market with increasing electricity demand due to its growing industrial sector. Many of the countries in this region are facing electricity supply issues due to weak financial situations. However several initiatives supported and funded by multilateral institutions are being undertaken to expand and upgrade the region’s soviet-era power infrastructure.

 

VI. North America and Latin America Region

North America - The North America transmission system needs investment to build new lines as well as upgrade and refurbish the existing network as existing transmission grid is ageing due to under-investment in transmission infrastructure.

 

About 21,800 circuit miles of transmission lines are planned to be added between 2013 and 2023. In other words, assuming USD 1 million investments per mile, an investment of USD 2.2 billion per year would be required for the next 10 years.

 

In the US, many states have issued the Renewable Portfolio Standards regulation. This directive mandates electricity suppliers to produce a specified portion of their electricity from renewable energy sources. In Canada, new generation sources in Alberta and new hydroelectric generation expansion continue to contribute for an increased transmission lines demand.

 

Latin America – In this region, majority of the Company’s business comes from Brazil and Mexico. Brazil, the largest market in Latin America, covers nearly half of the continent of South America. Brazil’s Government plans to build about 51,578 kilometers of transmission lines between 2013 and 2022. In Mexico, the state-owned Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) owns and operates transmission lines. The Company plans to focus on transmission line projects to evacuate power from wind power generation, mostly in the southeast and the northeast regions. About 4,000 circuit miles are planned between 2014 and 2019 in the Country.

 

VII. Southeast Asian Region

South East Asian countries per-capita energy use is still low and 134 million people lack access to electricity. The region is projected to need an additional 250,000 km of transmission lines and 4,000,000 km of distribution lines to connect end-users between 2011 and 2035. Many countries in this region have formulated plans to increase their power generation capacity and grid expansion. KEC has consolidated its position in the region with current presence in Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Laos and Cambodia.

 

Cables Business – Outlook and Opportunities

The Company manufactures power cables and telecom cables, with the former constituting a significant part of its cable business.

 

After a lean period in FY13, the power cables market experienced modest growth of 10-12% during FY14 (E). The growth was mainly driven by increasing investments in underground distribution network and cable exports.

 

Power Cables: The GoI’s aggressive investment targets during the 12th five year plan, especially in the power distribution segment and investments by State Electricity Boards (SEBs) post restructuring is likely to provide sizable growth opportunities. The GoI’s technology upgradation initiative is also resulting in higher demand for High Voltage (HV) and Extra High Voltage (EHV) cables. The cable demand is further likely to experience a boost once the SEBs are financially restructured.

 

Telecom Cables: The Government has initiated its broadband network expansion plans through Bharat Broadband Network Limited (BBNL) which is likely to increase demand for optic fibre cables. Further, optic fibre demand will also be supported by higher investment in India’s telecom space.

 

Railways Business – Outlook and Opportunities

The Company is an integrated player and undertakes projects related to civil and track works, electrification and signalling works. Presently, the Company’s business mainly comes from conventional railway projects but it is also looking at relevant opportunities in Dedicated Freight Corridors and Metro Railway projects.

 

Capacity expansion, network expansion, upgradation and modernisation planned by the Indian Railways are expected to provide impetus to this sector. The 12th five year plan envisages a total investment of Rs.6433790.000 millions (including Metro Rail). This amount is 164% more than 11th Five Year Plan’s projected target and around 229% more than 11th five year plan’s actual investments (latest estimate). The Company’s addressable market is about 10% of the targeted investment.

 

Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFC): Presently, two DFCs are being developed in India the Western DFC (1,483 kms.) and the Eastern DFC (1,839 kms.). Tenders for these projects are being awarded in various phases. The Company is pre-qualified in certain packages of these projects and plans to bid selectively in consortium with other partners.

 

Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS): Increasing urbanisation, population density and strain on existing transport infrastructure have necessitated investments in the modern MRTS (metro and mono rails). The Delhi metro’s success has set the stage for developing more metro networks across the country. There are many projects on advance stage of planning and implementation in India especially in ‘B’ class cities. KEC plans to participate in this space in joint venture with internationally recognized eligible partners.

 

Water Business – Outlook and Opportunities

The Company focuses on projects related to Water Resource Management (WRM) as well as Water and Waste Water Treatment.

 

Although around 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water, the distribution of water is uneven and it is a scarce resource in many parts of the world. In India, water demand is likely to go up from current 710 billion cubic meters (BCM) to 1,093 BCM by 2025 due to rise in population, higher industrial consumption and increase in command area under irrigation. On the other hand, the availability of the utilizable water is 1,123 BCM out of which large part of it is lost due to surface evaporation and flowing to sea.

 

The GoI has allocated highest investment (after power) in 12th five year plan for developing infrastructure related to Irrigation and Water Supply and Sanitation. It envisages investment of Rs.5043710.000 millions for Irrigation related projects and Rs.2553190.000 millions for Water Supply and Sanitation related projects.
