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 %.

YEAR IN RETROSPECT

 

During the year they, despite the continuing demand stagnation further aggravated by the overhang of significantly expanded cable manufacturing capacity, the company was able to report a sales turnover of Rs 2209.200 Millions ( Rs.3774.900 Millions in previous year ) which is 41.47% lower than the previous year. The Company could register EBITDA of Rs.131.200 Millions (Rs.343.000 Millions in previous year) which is again 61.74 % lower than previous year. The performance of the company was badly affected by the lower demand in cable industry due mainly to continuing misfortunes of power sector with stalled generation projects and cash-strapped utilities. Expectation of an economic and industrial turn around in the year they was belied. Situation, in fact, worsened. Manufacturing capacities added by the existing cable manufacturers over the years and entry of overseas manufacturers only added to the woes of cable industry struggling for viable orders.


CURRENT SLOWDOWN AND COMPETITIVE PRESSURE

 

The Indian power cables market is highly competitive and fragmented with a large number of cable manufacturers in both organized and unorganized sectors. Moreover, with major capacity additions by larger players, and sluggish demand for cables due to economic downturn, the revenues and margins of all the players have been adversely impacted. The domestic power cable business in LT/HT/ EHV PVC & XLPE segments (in which the Company operates) had suffered a steep de-growth in FY 2012-13 by over 14% as compared to FY 2011-12 majorly due to delay in the power projects coupled with the increasing imports in this segment. The situation witnessed a slight improvement in FY 2013-14 but still remained over 9% lower than that of FY 2011-12 . This had an impact on the order book profile of the Company as reflected in the decline in sales during the year 2013-14. Margins continued to remain under pressure due to high intensity of competition in the industry. Although the Company is relatively a small player compared to big domestic companies having sales turnover in thousands of crores, the company has been able to maintain decent level of capacity utilization in the recent past, mainly because of its technical and cost competitiveness (cost competitiveness arising from control on scrap generation and reduction in overheads) as well as strong relationship with customers.

 

COMPOSITE SCHEME OF AMALGAMATION

 

The Board in its meeting on 31st October, 2013 had accorded its approval to carry out a Study and thereby evolve a suitable and optimum business model along with a desirable capital structure for the Power sector operations of the Torrent Group covering, inter alia, the possibility of appropriate re-organisation including merger, demerger, forward/backward integration, sale of any division, etc. Based on the outcome of the Study, the amalgamation of Torrent Cables Limited and Torrent Energy Limited (wholly owned subsidiary of Torrent Power Limited) with Torrent Power Limited along with appropriate re-organization of consolidated long-term financing arrangements was found to be a suitable and optimum business model for the power sector operations of the Torrent Group. Torrent Energy Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Torrent Power Limited is engaged in the similar business as that of Torrent Power Limited and Torrent Cables Limited is one of the major suppliers of power cables for the power transmission and distribution activities of Torrent Power Limited as well as Torrent Energy Limited. Besides, these companies, being part of the Torrent Group, in view of similar business of Torrent Energy Limited and Torrent Power Limited and complementary business relationship between Torrent Cables Limited on one hand and Torrent Energy Limited & Torrent Power Limited on the other hand, it is proposed to consolidate the activities of Torrent Cables Limited, Torrent Energy Limited and Torrent Power Limited by way of amalgamation. The proposed amalgamation is expected to benefit all the three companies and their stakeholders in terms of synergies of operations, higher integration, concentrated management focus, increased shareholders’ value and enhanced reputation of Torrent Group. In this regard, a composite scheme of amalgamation of Torrent Energy Limited and Torrent Cables Limited with Torrent Power Limited (Scheme) under the provisions of Sections 391-394 of the Companies Act, 1956 including the share exchange ratio was recommended by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at their respective meetings held on 12th May, 2014. The Appointed Date of the Scheme is 1st April, 2014. The Share exchange ratio determined by the valuer, M/s. Price Waterhouse & Co., LLP, Chartered Accountants and the fairness opinion provided by M/s IDFC Securities Limited, Merchant Bankers, on the same, is as under: - Every shareholder holding 20 (Twenty) fully paid up equity shares of Rs. 10/- each of Torrent Cables Limited, shall be entitled to receive 19 (Nineteen) fully paid up equity shares of Rs 10/- each of Torrent Power Limited. - Since Torrent Energy Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Torrent Power Limited, the investment of the Company in Torrent Energy Limited shall stand cancelled. The Scheme is conditional upon, inter alia, various regulatory and other necessary approvals and sanctions from the lenders on reorganization of consolidated long term financing arrangements on such terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Board.

 

POWER CABLE INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

 

The power sector is one of the crucial inputs to the growth of other industrial sectors and overall economic growth of India. Power cable industry’s fate is closely linked to that of industrial growth in general and power sector in particular. Cables are the crucial infrastructure backbone of an economy, the critical elements that wire up the length and breadth of the country as power networks. Stagnating power sector with stranded generation capacity and cash-strapped distribution utilities have been the bane for cable industry. However, green shoots are visible in Electricity, gas and water supply sector showing signs of recovery registering a growth of 5.9% in FY 2013-14 (compared to 2.3% for FY 2012-13). With the expectation of a stable pro-reform, growth focused government at the center and as per the indications available, the growth is expected to pick up slowly in the later part of the current year provided improved governance and concerted action to resolve structural bottlenecks are effectively in place. Demand for power cables is expected to improve with the improvement in industrial and power sector growth.
