INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The worst is over for India’s economy with gross domestic product likely to expand 5 %to 5.5 % this year and more than 6 % in 2015, according to Moody’s Analytics. Concerns over the rupee and current account deficit are under control, said the agency. Ratings firm Crisil has forecast 6 % growth for 2014/15 up from the estimated 4.8 % for 2013/14.  Total economic growth, infrastructure bottlenecks and lack of transparency and consistency in foreign direct investment policies seem to have taken a toll on India’s attractiveness as an investment destination, says an Ernst & Young survey.  Projects with FDI component fell 16.4 % across the globe in 2012 from the previous year.  The drop in India was steeper at 21 %. State run carrier Air India is doling out free tickets to its 24000 employees, even as it expects to incur a loss of Rs 39000 mn this financial year and has a debt of Rs 350000 mn. 550000 number of jobs generated across India in 2013, a fall of 0.4 % as compared to with a year earlier. The National Capital Region has a one-fourth share in total jobs created, according to a study by industry lobby group Assochem, Banks, real estate, automobile and telecommunications sectors are showing a rise of job creation. $ 805 mn investments by venture capital firms in India during 2013, registering a drop of about 18 % over the previous year. The Information Technology and IT-Enabled Services Industry retained its status as the favourable venture capital investors in 2013. Pakistan has temporarily banned gold imports for the second time in six months, as it tries to stem smuggling into India. India’s import duty on gold is 10 % and curbs on purchases have dried up legal imports into what used to be the world’s biggest bullion buyers. The World Gold Council puts the amount smuggled into India at upto 200 tonnes in 2013. The Reserve Bank of India has proposed that unclaimed bank deposits estimated to be about Rs 35000 mn be used for education and awareness among depositors.  According to the plan, deposits that have not been claimed for at least 10 years will be transferred to the scheme.

PRESS RELEASE:

 

COTTON PRICING BEST LEFT TO THE MARKET

 

The Government should not intervene at the behest of textile mills.

Prices of popular cotton varieties in India have spiked by 7-8 per cent in February-March 2013 due to bullishness of the domestic and overseas market. Textile mills are crying, “wolf” and seeking Government intervention to rein in this escalation. There are many stakeholders in cotton business — farmers, aggregators, ginners, traders, government trading entities such as Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) and NAFED, merchant exporters, mills, skilled and unskilled labour.

The supply-demand matrix and market volatility are inherently interwoven. High demand benefits producers when prices go up, and signals them to produce more. But it discounts interests of consumers in the short run. When demand diminishes, lower values discourage higher production by producers; they are eventually losers and consumers the beneficiaries - again in the short term.

Finally, the market finds its equilibrium, if allowed to operate freely. That is the way a commodity cycle runs. Therefore, any ad hoc Government intervention in its own policies can hamper the functioning of markets, which may not be fair to all stakeholders.

Higher MSP for farmers

The CACP’s (Commission for Agriculture Costs and Prices) kharif report of 2012-13 noted that “Despite record production, exports are booming and country has low stocks of cotton; akin to an excess demand situation. Market price during October 2011-February 2012 was Rs. 4362/quintal. So a high MSP will not have an inflationary impact”.

It, therefore, recommended and Government agreed to fix an MSP of Rs. 3600/quintal for medium staple (MS) and Rs. 3900/quintal for long staple which were 28.5 per cent (Rs 2800) and 18 per cent (Rs 3300/quintal) above last year’s MSP.

Ginned cotton output in 2012-13 was 33 million bales (of 170 kg each) against last year’s 35.3 million bales. Despite this price incentive, overall production dropped by two million bales, partly due to poor monsoons in Gujarat and Maharashtra. The textile industry accepted 18-28 per cent higher MSP (due to costlier fertiliser and farm labour) without a whimper but is now threatened by 7-8 per cent demand driven inflation!

A November 2, 2012, press release of the Ministry of Textiles stated “The Cotton Advisory Board has estimated consumption at 260 lakh bales and an exportable surplus at 70 lakh bales (on January 23, 2013, it estimated exportable surplus at 80 lakh bales). Although domestic consumption is showing increasing trends, the sharp decline in global trade and increase in world stocks have imposed a downward stress on cotton prices, which is reflected in Indian cotton markets also”. (emphasis added.)

Price stabilisation

The local market remained bearish and below MSP in October-November 2012. Mills stayed away anticipating further price decline for speculative profits; then, traders/exporters came to the rescue of falling prices and CCI/NAFED stepped in to cover 2.2 million bales at MSP.

The November 2 press statement also said “that price stabilisation operations would be taken up to alleviate farmer distress (emphasis added) both by Cotton Corporation of India and NAFED in coming months”. With progressive consumption, price stabilisation operations and exports on track, surpluses are now squeezed and market has logically ascended in February 2013.

Private industry and trade generally sermonise that Government should not be in the business of business. But at the drop of a hat, they see “God” in government and seek its intermediation for survival, citing local labour and its employment. Industry has now pleaded that stocks accumulated by CCI/NAFED be destocked at subsidised rates to cool the market.

Disposal by CCI

Going by the very concept of MSP, it is designed to help farmers rather than the industry. Cereals are bought at MSP by the Food Corporation of India to alleviate the risk of farmers. These cereals are then sold to the domestic trade and for export through domestic or international tenders or at Open Market Sale Scheme (OMSS) price at the absolute discretion of the Government for best price realisation.

Subsidised schemes for APL/BPL beneficiaries cannot be applied in the case of textile mills. For cotton, the same principle of disposal may be the guiding factor. CCI/NAFED may sell cotton domestically or for export through a tendered mechanism to industry and trade at a time when it can realise the best value. They also have the option of undertaking exports directly. Assuming that acquisition cost of Sankar 6 “ginned” variety by CCI is about Rs. 35000/candy (1candy=356 kg each) and is disposed at Rs. 39000/candy, the profitability is 11 per cent less its carrying cost.

If the market is poised for a bullish view due to likely tightness in US cotton crop for 2013-14, the profitability of CCI can be further augmented in coming months. After all, Sankar 6 variety had seen a high of Rs. 61000/candy in February/March 2011. An informed decision is needed to liquidate CCI inventory in a phased manner for optimising value realisation, rather than to destock all fibre en masse. Should policymakers succumb to the pressure of the mills and depress market prices suddenly, not only will CCI/NAFED nurse losses but farmers (still holding 7-8 million bales), ginners, stockists, and exporters will be wiped out. Lower production of Kapas may be seen in 2013-14 with elevated prices. If cotton market crashes, CCI could be left with contracted but un-lifted stocks by its buyers, compounding losses as in 2011-12.

Mills might have erred, but can cover their immediate requirements from the domestic market or through imports from African countries (Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, etc.). Imports will be foreign-exchange neutral due to higher export intensity of both cotton and yarn. The Government cannot underwrite potential losses of mills by underselling cotton cheaper.

Assistance to mills

In September 2012, the Ministries of Textiles and Finance gave a Rs. 35000-crore restructuring loan to mills to help them overcome their cash starvation; this was in the wake of the financial crisis in 2011 when world market plunged from $2/lb. to 88c/lb.

The RBI is reviewing the NPAs of some of these mills for financial accommodation extended in 2008-09. The Textile Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) is already in place. The Government has attempted to bail out textile mills twice in the last five years.

The solution to the textile industry's woes is to usher in labour sector reforms, ensure constant availability of power, and do value addition towards fabrics/ garments. If China and Bangladesh can have a thriving garments industry by importing raw cotton from India, why can't India? Gujarat has announced a mantra of ‘farm to fibre to fabric to fashion to foreign’. The Rest of India needs to learn from that vision.

As for the macro policy environment, trading policies have made India the world’s second largest exporter of cotton (next to US) because all stakeholders are active participants.

There is no need to tinker with pre-defined policy, neither is it feasible to bend and mend with daily market volatility which shall remain in all commodities.

 

COTTON EXPORT REGISTRATIONS RISE ON HOPES OF CHINESE DEMAND

Chennai, Feb. 15:  

Cotton exports are showing signs of recovery with registrations for shipments jumping 20 lakh bales since the beginning of the year.

According to sources, registration for cotton exports has increased to 58 lakh bales from 38 lakh bales. However, cotton trade and analysts say that it may be less than 50 lakh bales only.

Sources said that exporters are now buying half of the two lakh bales (of 170 kg) that are arriving daily in the market. While the Cotton Corporation of India is procuring some 40,000 bales, domestic textile mills are buying 60,000 bales.

However, views of cotton prices looking are unanimous. Currently, the Shankar-6 variety that is in demand for exports is quoting at Rs. 35,000 for a candy of 356 kg.

“Till January end, 42-43 lakh bales had been registered for exports. Maybe, it could have touched 50 lakh bales,” said A. Ramani, a cotton trade analyst.

“We are not sure if so much would have been registered because if that is a case, we would be seeing unusual movement. That doesn’t seem to be happening,” said Anand Poppat, Secretary of Saurashtra Ginners Association.

Chinese import

Ramani said exporters could be buying ahead of the annual import quota that China would release soon after the Chinese New Year.

“China will be releasing an import quota of 682,000 tonnes under the tariff rate quota and Indian cotton could get a sizeable chunk of it,” Ramani said.

China has to compulsorily release the tariff quota under which cotton imports would be imposed with 1 per cent Customs duty.

“Otherwise in the normal course, China imposes 40 per cent duty,” said Poppat.

“Still Indian cotton is cheaper compared with the prices in the domestic market there,” he said.

Currently, cotton in Chinese domestic market costs around 19,000-20,000 yuan a tonne. In comparison, the landed cost of Indian cotton after paying the Customs duty is 17,000 yuan. “Besides, Pakistan and Bangladesh are seeking some 35 lakh bales. This is something that can keep prices firm,” Poppat said. Ramani said exporters to China are taking a calculated risk by buying stocks and moving it to bonded warehouses in China. “Some Chinese buyers with deep pockets have bought Indian cotton and moved them closer to their shores,” he said.

On the other hand, a sizeable quantity of cotton from the US has also been moved close to the Chinese shores.

“Export buying is keeping the market firm though there is no flare-up in prices,” Ramani said.

Chinese trick helps Indian spinners

There is also a shift in strategy by Chinese textile industry that has begun buying cotton yarn.

“This is because it is advantageous to import cotton yarn rather than raw cotton. The industry has to pay 13 per cent value-added tax in China for buying raw cotton. They need not pay for importing yarn,” said Ramani.

According to sources, spinning units here are making a margin of at least $1 a kg. “It may not be true in the case of all units. China is good at negotiating deals. They are buying 30s count yarn for $3.20 a kg against $5.60 a kg a few days ago,” Ramani said.

“Also, there is no duty on yarn imports in China,” said Poppat. The Chinese order is mainly helping only units to the north of the peninsula. “Power crisis in the South is affecting spinners,” Ramani said.

A spinning unit having captive power unit has to spend Rs. 20-30 a kg for a kg of yarn. Otherwise, it costs Rs. 4-5 a kg only.

“Mills in North India are definitely gaining from the yarn export,” Ramani said, adding, “exports are fantastic and volumes are excellent.”

Sources said that yarn exports could be a record one billion kg. Already, over 800 million kg have been exported. This is far higher than the 720 million kg in 2011 when the Centre imposed a ban on cotton yarn exports.

Besides, domestic support is helping spinning mills to run at 85-90 per cent capacity.

“In view of the brisk activity, consumption estimate of cotton may be raised by the Cotton Advisory Board,” said Ramani.

There is, however, one spot of bother. “The cloth market is yet to pick up,” said Ramani.
