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 %.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Ace Designers Limited (the Company) is a public company domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The Company is primarily engaged in design, development and manufacture of CNC Lathe machines. The Company caters to both domestic and international markets.

 

 

OPERATIONS

 

The Company achieved a turnover of Rs.3693.700 Millions during the financial year as against 4901.700 Millions during the corresponding financial year by selling 1,905 CNC lathes during the current year as against 2,962 CNC lathes. The current year turnover has declined by 24.64% over the previous year and 35.68% in terms of quantity. The decline in turnover is due to poor market conditions, slow down of automobile, general engineering and infrastructure based industries, coupled with high interest rates. The other income is Rs.66.300 Millions. Depreciation for the year was Rs.94.000 Millions as compared to Rs.86.400 Millions during the corresponding year. The additional depreciation is on account of procurement of certain high end machines during the year; The Company achieved Earnings before Interest Tax and Depreciation (EBITDA) of Rs.647.100 Millions as compared to Rs.927.400 Millions during the corresponding year by registering a negative growth of 30.22%. The year was challenging from many fronts. Inflation pressure unabated during the year coupled with steep depreciation of Indian Rupee impacted company’s profitability.

 

During the year realization from premium products and tooled up products increased due to sale of machines to new projects which were in pipe line. However, per unit realisation from standard products got reduced due to stiff competition for such products from unorganized sector. The company saw stagnation in revenues from the second quarter of the year due to sluggish demand. To mitigate sluggish demand, the company offered new schemes for standard machines like Jobber XL, Jobber LM under “Dhamaka” scheme during Sept’- Nov 2012 and again re-introduced the same for Super Jobber, Super Jobber LM and Super Jobber 500 LM post IMTEX-2013, which enhanced sales for standard products with improved topline.

 

According to the latest estimate, the Indian economy grew by 5% for the year 2012-13, reflecting lower than expected growth in industry. However, with various policy initiatives coming through, the economy is estimated to grow above 5.5% for the financial year 2013-14 with inflation under control. The performance of Machine Tool business is likely to be impacted for the financial year 2013-14 also due to the sluggish business environment.

 

The Company’s expansion plan of setting up of state-art Foundry Division at Thyamagondlu Hobli, Nelamangala, Bangalore, is at completion stage. Commercial Production is expected to start by next month. The Company has already invested Rs.820.000 Millions on land and building and plant and machinery etc., as against the projected cost of Rs.1030.000 Millions. The project is expected to complete within the budget. The installed capacity of newly commissioned foundry plant is 12,000 M.T per annum and will meet part of Company’s input casting requirements. Further expansion plan of CNC assembly unit is temporarily on hold and will start once the market recovers.

 

 

BUSINESS PROSPECTS

 

To reduce the lead time in delivery of fast moving machines, a warehouse is taken on rent to stock standard finished goods, which helps ex-stock delivery. In order to achieve targeted sales, the Company has planned to increase in manpower in certain strategic areas. Also creation of SBU and Small Group based on product portfolios should enhance the business volume.

 

In order to focus on segmented customer market and to meet ACE vision 2020, the Company’s business model is proposed for a change. Strategic Business Units (SBU) will be created based on product portfolios in order to achieve synergy in operations. In that direction, during the year HVM-SBU for high volume Machines like Jobber XL, Super Jobber and Jobber LM and for low volume like Machines Simple Turn, a separate Group is planned. HVM Business and Special Business Units will concentrate on the specific segments and can manufacture the products in advance based on the market expectation leading to reduced lead time.

PRESS RELEASE

 

ACE DESIGNERS EMBARKS ON RS 2500.000 MILLIONS EXPANSION

 

FEBRUARY 13, 2013

 

To commission foundry at Nelamangala in April; expand plant capacity

 

Bangalore-based machine tools major Ace Designers Limited has embarked on a major expansion drive involving an investment of over Rs 2500.000 Millions. The company, which manufactures CNC machines, is planning to expand capacity at its plant and is also setting up a foundry for captive consumption.


“We had planned this expansion about six years ago and acquired 82 acres in Nelamangala taluk from the Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB) for Rs 280.000 Millions. We are now building a modern foundry with Italian technology which will be commissioned by the end of March or early April this year,” Shrinivas G Shirgurkar, managing director, Ace Designers, said.


He said, the foundry will produce 12,000 tonnes of castings per annum. Of this, about 60 per cent of the capacity would be used for captive requirements and the balance would be for outside orders.


Shirgurkar said, the company’s proposed plan to expand capacity of CNC machines’ plant in Bangalore will be executed from June onwards. The company planned to expand capacity nearly three times to 10,000 machines per annum. The company’s products include 2-axis, 3-axis and 5-axis CNC (computer numerically controlled) machines used in automobile, general engineering and electrical among other sectors.


“We have already secured all approvals from the state government for the proposed expansion. However, we delayed the expansion due to economic slowdown last year. As the market has shown signs of improvement this year, we are going ahead with the expansion during the next fiscal,” Shirgurkar told Business Standard.

The State High Level Clearance Committee (SHLCC) headed by chief minister has approved the company’s proposal to set up a foundry and expand its plant capacity at a meeting held in September last year. SHLCC also approved the company’s request for a two-year extension to execute the expansion programme.


He said, the company has also tied up finances for the project. Of a planned investment of Rs 2500.000 Millions, the foundry has seen an investment of Rs 1100.000 Millions, he said. Shirgurkar said, the company had witnessed slowdown in order booking during the second half of the present fiscal and as a result its turnover would decline 20 per cent for year-ending March 2013. It reported a turnover of Rs 4900.000 Millions in 2011-12.

 

“There are signs of improvement for the next fiscal and we are getting enquiries from the user industries. During the next fiscal, we are looking at recovering the lost business in this year and hope to report 10-15 per cent growth,” he added. Ace Designers exports about 10 per cent of its capacity to China, Italy, France, Russia and Germany.
