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 %.

The operating results of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2014 are lower consequent to the merger of Landmark Limited, Fiora Link Road Properties Limited and Trexa ADMC Private Limited with the Company.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

The economic backdrop was a key factor impacting the performance of Companies across sectors including organized retail. Consumer sentiment and business confidence continued to be subdued in the financial year with economic growth decelerating further. This is attributable mainly to weakening industrial growth in the context of tight monetary policy followed by the Reserve Bank of India through most of the financial year, political and policy stability related concerns and continued uncertainty in the global economy. Inflation continues to be an important concern area. Persistent high inflation and inflation expectations has meant that the Reserve Bank of India has been compelled to maintain the benchmark interest rates at a much higher level than was seen warranted or expected earlier.

 

As observed in prior years, the organized retail space in the first decade of this century was viewed as offering enormous potential for growth in India. However, post FY08 the industry witnessed a sharp moderation in expectations with most retailers across formats facing significant head winds in terms of like-for-like growth and viability of stores. Following the pronounced slowdown, the industry witnessed a modest recovery in FY10. This recovery gathered further momentum in the first three quarters of FY11 and yielded strong double-digit like-for-like growth across most credible retail formats. Consumer sentiment thereafter was impacted in FY12 and continued to be muted till the second quarter of FY14 with high inflation expectations, pronounced interest rates and economic uncertainty being key contributing factors. In the recent quarters consumer sentiment has been varied-with apparel retailers reporting an improving trend but most other retail formats still witnessing muted off take.

 

OUTLOOK

 

A pronounced rate of inflation and continued high interest rate levels are the apparent dampeners in the near term. In fact, on a post-tax basis the yield on bank deposits are still broadly in line with the inflation rate, implying marginal real interest rates. The above factors continue to impact discretionary consumer spending headroom. Hence the consumption triggers are still not positive at this time. This backdrop, coupled with the escalating costs (especially wages, electricity and common area maintenance) implies continued challenges.

 

On the other hand, they are encouraged by signs of improving economic situation. The new government is focusing on improving the investment environment to accelerate the growth and maintain economic stability. Reforms in the monetary policy and the union budget are expected to contain inflation, maintain price stability and attract investors to put the economy back on a high growth path. Separately, the continued hiring by various sectors (at the entry level) and consequently improved absorption of youth into the organized workforce should serve as an important positive consumption trigger.

 

Separately, the continued challenges in securing properties at acceptable rentals and valuations in the real estate space (with most participants in the organized retail pursuing their growth plans) remain a cause for concern. So they view improving the quantum and quality of our pipeline of new stores especially for the Star Bazaar format as a challenge that they already face and have to address. However, the property pipeline already contracted should still allow opening a number of new Westside and Star Bazaar stores in FY15.

 

The prior observations on the near term consumption triggers notwithstanding, they continue to be very positive on the underlying case for growth of organized retailing in India over the coming years. As observed in the previous years, the intent going forward is to continue scaling up their presence and in doing so across the formats:

 

_ Emphasize sustainable store level profitability and only scale up with new stores locations that are expected to be profitable within an agreeable time frame;

_ Concentrate resources on substantially growing the existing anchor formats (especially Westside and Star Bazaar);

_ Continue to be primarily “large box”; especially given the rental economics vis-à-vis sales densities in locations of interest to then;

_ Selectively commit direct investments in properties;

_ Leverage partnership with global retailers like Tesco and Inditex to further the profitable growth of respective formats.
