INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The services sector, the largest contributor to India’s GDP, contracted for the sixth consecutive month in December, as orders dipped. However, hiring has risen.  Direct tax collections rose 12.3 % during the April – December period of the current financial year.  The government has decided to retain 100 per cent foreign direct investment in both greenfield (new) and brown field (existing) pharmaceutical companies, despite concerns over genetic drugs going out of production, if multi-national companies take over domestic ones. In M&A deals, a non compete clause would not be allowed, except in special circumstances. The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion plans to release the next edition of its consolidated foreign direct investment policy document on March 31, incorporating changes made in the past year. DIPP compiles all policies related to India’s FDI regime into a single document to make it easy for investors to understand. 185 million estimated number of mobile internet users in India by June 2014, according to a report by the Internet & Mobile Association of India and IMRB International.  India had 110 million mobile internet users with 25 million in rural areas. $3.77 tn estimated global IT spending in 2014, according to research firm Gartner Inc. The growth forecast for this year is cut to 3.1 %from the earlier estimate of 3.5 %. The spending growth forecast for telecom services – a segment that accounts for more than 40 % at total IT spending – from 1.9 per cent to 1.2 per cent is the main reason for this overall IT cut. A Reserve Bank of India committee has recommended setting up a special category of lenders who would cater to small businesses and households, to expand the number of customers with access to banking services. These banks would focus onproviding payment services and deposit products.  Indian banks want the free use of automated teller machines to be capped at five transactions in a month including that of the bank in which the account is active. This follows state government order to banks to install security guards at ATM booths after a woman banker was assaulted in Bangalore. The government is likely to present a vote on Account in mid-February. The annual Economic Survey will be tabled later in Parliament along with the full Budget. A full Budget for 2014/15 is likely to be present in July by the new government formed after the General Election. The government will soon launch an internet spy system, called Netra, to detect malafide messages. Security agency will deploy the system to capture dubious voice traffic on applications such as Skype and Google Talk, as well as tweeters.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Subject is a public limited Company, incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. Equity Shares of the Company are listed on the BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) in India. The Company is engaged in the manufacture of Paper, Paperboards, Cartons and power generation.

 

OPERATIONS

 

Gross sales for the financial year 2012-13 stood at 1780.400 millions as against 1786.900 millions in the previous year.

 

Operating volumes for the paper plant was at 88.71% (last year 90.88%). Volumes could have been higher, but for the labour strike at the Paper plant from 11th March, 2013, which affected the production for 21 days in the financial year. Realization was slightly better and overall costs remained at the last year’s level. Increase in Fuel cost and sizing materials was offset by reduction in raw material cost and repairs and maintenance.

 

Printing and Packaging Division operated with higher volumes and conversion tonnage was higher by 8%. Operating profit improved from Rs. 246.100 millions to Rs. 276.100 millions. After making a higher depreciation provision of Rs. 73.170 millions (Previous year – Rs. 61.436 millions), profit before tax increased from Rs. 162.100 millions to Rs. 184.400 millions. Net profit decreased from Rs. 153.900 millions (last year included exceptional items amounting to Rs 38.800 millions, which are non-recurring) to Rs. 136.500 millions. Excluding the effect of exceptional items, net profit for the reporting year is higher.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS:

 

The Indian Paper Industry has been historically segmented on a three dimensional matrix identified by size, grades manufactured and raw materials utilised. Government policies on indirect taxation rates applicable to output have relied on this segmentation. Generally, tariff rates have protected smaller units utilising “unconventional” raw material. Over the years, the growth of various segments, investment levels in specific segments, technological changes, industry fragmentation and intensity of competition have been significantly influenced by the Government’s tariff policy.

 

Over 500 players currently populate the industry and the estimated output across all grades is about 10 million metric tonnes per annum (MTPA). Imports still do not supply any significant proportion of the total demand. The three broad segments of the market are Writing and Printing Grades (Cultural), Packaging Grades (Industrial) and Newsprint.

 

The “Industrial” Segment of the paper market broadly comprises of Corrugated Case Materials,(CCM) and Duplex Boards -white lined and coated or uncoated. Fragmentation is severe in this segment which constitutes about 50% of the total output of Paper and Board. This segment entirely relies upon “unconventional” raw material such as waste paper (imported and domestically sourced) and, to a limited extent, on agricultural residues. The average size of units in this segment is now about 15,000 MTPA and most units cater to local area demand from small semi-auto corrugated box factories and small printers. Although the other segments in the Indian paper industry are also fragmented by international standards, the degree of fragmentation is less severe.

 

Historically, the bulk of the output of “Cultural” grades - comprising of writing, printing, office stationery paper and specialty paper has been the preserve of the larger producers, who use forest based raw materials in integrated pulping facilities augmented by imported market pulp. This segment has been consistently taxed at higher rates due to its size and use of “conventional” forest based raw material. Investment in plant for these players has also been higher. With a relatively smaller number of players and high import tariff protection, prices of end products, generally perceived to be of higher quality, have been high. “Lower end cultural grades” manufactured by smaller players using unconventional raw materials in low investment, low-tech plants cater to consumers in the price sensitive sub-segment of this market. This sub segment has historically depended heavily on the tariff differential based on size and raw material for its viability. Some of the mid-sized players in the writing and printing segment are in the process of expansion and modernization and are installing wider/faster machines with full ledged de-inking plants to produce the higher quality that is increasingly preferred and for which consumers are willing to pay more. Several of the “large-integrated” forest based producers have also recently increased forest based pulping capacities The cultural paper segment contributes about 40% of the annual paper and paperboard production with a current demand growth rate of about 6 to 7% per annum. The high investment levels required and limited “conventional” fiber resources are the major deterrents to growth in this segment for both existing players as well as new entrants.

 

Newsprint, till about 1994, was the sole preserve of large public sector units and was well protected by high import tariff barriers. Nevertheless, imports contributed to about 40% of the domestic consumption. Since then, new domestic capacity with private investment has been “allowed” to be created. This growth has relied mainly on De-inked waste paper as a source of raw material. Currently, Newsprint is exempted from excise duty. This tariff structure for Newsprint has seen Indian Newsprint prices closely mapping international prices. Imports still constitute about 25% to 30% of consumption and newsprint constitutes about 10% of the total production of paper and paperboard. The number of players in the newsprint segment is relatively limited and manufacturing capacities are larger than in the packaging grades segment.

 

The Indian Paper industry which ranks 11th in production, globally, in recent times has registered faster growth rates of about 7%. The domestic demand is expected to grow at about 6 to 7% p.a. Paper industry plays an important role in the socio-economic development of the country.

 

Despite several infrastructural impediments there is a strong growth in demand in several sub-segments of the Indian Paper Industry. There is perceptible shift in preference for higher quality products in both the Industrial and Cultural Segments and players with the right grade-quality mix are seeing opportunities for profitable growth. As per their assessment, most of the dominant players in each industry segment are operating near to capacity and one can expect a round of capacity additions which will however be circumscribed by factors peculiar to individual units such as the ability to raise funds cost effectively, availability of raw material and low cost energy.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The Indian economy has grown by about 5% during 2012-13 (6.5% during 2011-12) with manufacturing sector growth of just 1% (last year 2.9%). Most forecasts for growth in paper industry for 2013 -14 are between 6% and 7%. The depreciating Indian Rupee, inflation and high interest rates have to some extent weakened consumer confidence and consumer purchasing power. Innovative cost containment and cost cutting will be required by paper mills to not only maintain business volumes but to capture a larger portion of a slowly growing pie.
