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 RELEASES

 

TRACTOR MAKER TAFE REVENUE GROWS 30%, TO ADD CAPACITY

 

APRIL 03 2012

Tractors and Farm Equipment Limited (Tafe), maker of Eicher and Massey Ferguson tractors, on Tuesday reported a 30.4% growth in consolidated revenue to Rs.80200.000 Millions for the year ended March, overcoming sluggish growth in the industry.

 

Tafe’s growth was fuelled by new products, which have contributed nearly 68% of total sales over the last three years, said Mallika Srinivasan, chairman of the family-owned tractor business.

 

“The less-than-50 HP (horse power) segment will grow more strongly and the contributing factor has been that the new products have had an excellent customer response,” said Srinivasan, whose company rolled out around 148,100 tractors in 2011-12.

 

Chennai-based Tafe plans to maintain sales momentum by investing Rs.1000.000 Millions in a factory in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, to bring out an additional 60,000 units, taking its overall capacity to around 240,000.

 

Tafe is pinning its hopes on the increasing need for farm mechanisation, given the prevalence of government programmes like the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme that has lured farm labourers away from the field by guaranteeing 100 days of employment in a year.

 

“My outlook is cautiously optimistic. I’m cautious about the short-term industry growth and optimistic because of the structural changes in the market like NREGS, which favours mechanisation,” said the 51-year-old Srinivasan.

Industry figures have shown little promise since November, as overall sales contracted by 8.2% in February, according to Tafe. After growth rates of 20% in 2010-11 and 32% the year before, failed monsoons, falling food prices, higher interest rates and input cost pressures have considerably reduced farm incomes in India, contributing to a slump in the sale of tractors. Growth in tractor sales slowed to 11.4% in 2011-12 from about 24% in the year before.

 

Tafe has managed to buck this trend. “We have managed to mitigate the input cost pressure by maintaining volumes,” said Srinivasan.

 

Market leader Mahindra and Mahindra Limited saw sales drop by 7.6% in January and 20% in February, compared to the same months last year.

 

But even with the recent disappointing numbers, analysts say the industry has shown an improvement on a year-on-year basis.

 

“Though there has been a decline in demand in the last few months, the overall tractor demand has grown on an annual basis,” said Pawan Agarwal, senior director at rating agency Crisil Ltd. “Long-term factors that remain positive influencers for tractor demand include shortage of labour leading to increased mechanization and expansion in the scope of tractor application for non-farm activities like haulage.”

 

But another analyst pegs industry growth for fiscal 2012-13 at less than 7-8%. “For FY13, the growth will be at a slow pace given that factors like agriculture, food prices and farm spending will not go up significantly,” said Umesh Karne, an analyst with Brics Securities Limited.

 

Tafe, which is eyeing a turnover of $2 billion (around Rs 100000.000 Millions) in 2011-13, looks to beat the 8-10% growth forecast for the industry.

 

Exports, which contribute about 14% of the tractor-maker’s total sales, increased 28.2% over the previous year to nearly 20,400 units, moving past the industry performance of 12.8%.

 

The company also looks to expand its range of products in the 85-105 HP segment—as most of the demand is overseas—all conforming to the emission norms prescribed in Europe and North America, by early next year.

Tafe will also start production of the Centurion tractors, a 50-125 HP tractor being jointly developed with the US-based AGCO Corp., by mid-2013.

 

Tafe will also sell small application-oriented tractors in the sub-20 HP segment for use in orchards, sugarcane farms and the such, along with Rajkot-based Captain Tractors Private Limited. It hopes to tap the needs of small farms that the company foresees having a requirement of 12,000 such tractors a year.

 

At least 60% of the country’s farms span less than one hectare each, according to a Tafe spokesperson.

 

 

THERE IS AN NEED FOR REFORMS IN MANUFACTURING: MALLIKA SRINIVASAN, CHAIRMAN, TRACTORS AND FARM EQUIPMENT

 

DEC 4, 2013

India's manufacturing sector has stagnated to about 14.6% of gross domestic product, with the country's share in global manufacturing at just 1.8%. This calls for an need for reforms in the sector besides leveraging inherent strengths, says Mallika Srinivasan, chairman, Tractors and Farm Equipment. In an interview with Lijee Philip, she spells out the challenges as well as opportunities for the sector.

 

 

What are the ways to stimulate or revive manufacturing in India?

 

The malaise of slow growth in the manufacturing sector (a drop of 1.2 % in the first quarter and a 2.1% growth in the second quarter of the current fiscal) is not short term. Our reform process has not taken adequate steps to liberalise markets for labour. Inadequacy of infrastructure and energy, land acquisition and raw material supply issues are bottlenecks. The delay in introduction of the goods and services tax has further contributed to the slow growth.

 

While there is an urgent need for reforms, we have a number of strengths that can be built upon to stimulate growth. For one, Indian products are increasingly well accepted in international markets. Further, Indian engineering has gained depth over the past decade, and our brands are changing market dynamics in developed and developing markets. India is emerging as a best-cost manufacturing hub for a wide range of products. We are confident, in a number of industry sectors, of competing with China by offering an optimal quality cost mix.

 

Our demographic advantage can pay rich dividends only if the manufacturing sector grows. Manufacturing alone can provide employment to both the skilled and unskilled workforce, given that 10 million people will join the workforce each year.

 

With imports having grown in the past few years, is there nothing left to manufacture? The manufacturing sector contributes only about 26.3% of India's imports with gold, silver, precious stones and fuel contributing a significantly larger 56.1% of total imports. In fact, the growth rate of the import of these items is in the 40% to 60% band and hence, has a very large impact on the growth rate of total imports. Therefore it would be incorrect to say that there is nothing left to manufacture as all that the country needs is being imported.

 

Should Indian companies look at more exports and add value to their products so that manufacturing can be enhanced?

 

India is the largest producer of tractors in the world and our products are well accepted internationally for their performance, price and quality. In a number of sectors, India enjoys and can look forward to a competitive advantage in the global context. All such opportunities need to be leveraged.

 

What are the challenges to the manufacturing sector's revival?

 

The challenge and opportunity for the manufacturing sector in India would be to build scale through investments in the relevant product and process technology. In TAFE, we have capitalised on our significant domestic volumes and our special expertise of operating in the sub-100 HP segment. We have built on this strength to build scale and bring out an accepted product range in over 80 countries.

 

How has your group improved manufacturing efficiencies in the past three years?

 

We have invested significantly in developing our long-term relationships with our supply chain by opening out new markets for them through our collaborators, enhancing their volumes and thereby de-risking their operations in a cyclical market such as ours. This in turn has had a positive effect on our operations.
