INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit narrowed in the quarter ended September as government measures to curb imports, especially gold, kicked in.  The current account deficit, the excess of a country’s imports of goods and services over exports, narrowed to $ 5.2 billion from $ 21 billion in the year ago period, according to provisional Reserve Bank of India data. Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said the CAD for the year will be less than $ 60 billion or 3 per cent of GDP and the latest data suggests the government may achieve the target.

 

India was ranked 94th among the world’s most corrupt nations list. Denmark and New Zealand topped as the cleanest while Somalia emerged as the most corrupt.

 

India’s services sector activity witnessed a moderate improvement in November over the previous month, even while indicating the fifth successive monthly contraction, according the HSBC survey.

 

$53 million estimated losses suffered by India due to phishing attacks during the third quarter, according to a study by RSA. India ranks fourth in the list of nations hit by phishing attacks. The US remained at the top of the charts. Phishing is the process of acquiring information such as user names, passwords and credit card details by sending e-mails disguised as official mails.

 

Rs.4080 million worth of mobile-phone-based transactions by July 2013 compared to Rs.260 million in September, 2012, according to Deloitte report. The number of transactions has shot up from 94000 to 701000.

 

India aims to earn Rs.400000 million from the bandwidth auction set for January. The merger and acquisition guidelines, cleared by a group of ministers, will be out before the auction begins so that players can make informed decisions on the auctions.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Macro-economic review and outlook

 

GDP

 

FY13 was a challenging year for the global economy, and in particular, for India. Continuing the downturn, which started in FY12, macroeconomic variables further deteriorated and the economy witnessed a broad-based slowdown in FY13, with GDP growing at 5% - the slowest in 10 years.

 

As per the economic survey conducted by the Ministry of Finance, the economy is projected to grow at an optimistic 6.1 - 6.7% for FY14, signaling that the economy is looking up. The International Monetary Fund has also projected a 6.2% growth for FY14. To achieve this growth, the country would need a normal monsoon ensuring agriculture growth and lower interest rates, along with improved exports and raised industrial and services activity.

 

The Wholesale Price Index (WPI)-based inflation fell to 5.96% in March 2013 from 6.84% in the month of February 2013. This was the first instance of WPI going below the 6% mark since November 2009. Core inflation continued its downward momentum and food inflation also fell due to lower inflation in the prices of fruits, vegetables and protein-foods. The easing of core inflation is expected to set the stage for monetary easing going forward.

 

 

Business overview

 

Construction Equipment Industry

 

The construction equipment (CE) industry witnessed a drop of around 20% in sales volumes, mainly due to the ban on mining and pending environmental clearances in Orissa, Karnataka and Goa. Delays in capital infusion and development policies also led to negative sentiments. Sales volumes for backhoe loaders - a main constituent of the CE industry - dropped approximately by 7%, excavators by 15%, wheel loaders by 25%, compactors by 15%. The drop in cranes and concrete equipment was over 40%. In line with the industry’s de-growth, their construction equipment business also experienced a 19% dip in the number of units financed.

 

Commercial Vehicle Industry

 

Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles

(M and HCV>12T)

 

Since the M and HCV category draws its demand from the economy, it is prone to cyclicality. The M and HCV segment was hit the hardest by slowing industrial activity, weak investment sentiment and the addition of significant fleet capacity over the past three years. While the buses segment witnessed a healthy off-take by private operators and state transport undertakings, contraction in demand for higher tonnage trucks was the sharpest - over 30%. These factors shrunk overall M and HCV sales by 28% and as a result, they experienced a decrease of 32% in the units financed.

 

Light commercial vehicles (LCV up to 12T)

 

The LCV segment is categorised into up to 3.5T (Small Commercial Vehicles or SCV) and 3.5T to 12T vehicles. Both categories were expected to benefit from the hub and spoke model of the transportation business, but the slowdown and overall negative sentiment around the CV industry impacted the segment negatively. Sales dropped by close to 14% and LCV goods vehicle sales in particular, dropped by almost 18%.

 

On the other hand, the SCV category benefitted from the hub and spoke model, new government restrictions banning overloading of cargo vehicles and restricted entry of heavy commercial vehicles into cities. The popularity of early movers in this segment prompted many OEMs from the three-wheeler and LCV segments to foray into the SCV four-wheeler market.

 

As compared to the previous year, their business witnessed a 24% increase in units financed in the LCV segment and a 13% increase in the SCV four-wheeler segment.

 

Passenger vehicle industry

 

The Passenger Vehicle (PV) industry comprises 3 main segments – passenger car, utility vehicles(UV) and vans. During FY13, total PV sales grew by around 2%, driven by a 52% growth in the UV segment. Car sales dropped by 7% while van sales increased by just a percent.

 

They continued to expand their presence in the Passenger Vehicle segment, which resulted in a 28% growth in the units financed.

 

Farm equipment industry

 

The Indian tractor industry is the largest in the world by volume. Improved agricultural growth, combined with factors such as increasing land holdings, better minimum support price as well as labour shortage, has propelled the demand for farm equipment over the last few years.

 

In FY13, the Indian tractor industry experienced a 2% de-growth due to delayed monsoon and drought in parts of India. The Southern markets of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu accounted for a drop of over 30% and the West - Gujarat, Maharashtra and Karnataka - witnessed a drop of around 25%. Alongside, the harvester market took a hard hit of over 50%, with approximately a 75% drop in the South alone. On the other hand, Central India accounted for growth - over 30% in Madhya Pradesh and over 20% in Bihar and Rajasthan. This was due to an increasing need for farm mechanization in these states. L and T Finance outperformed the growth of the market by registering a growth of 3% in tractor volumes.

 

L and T Infra – overview

 

L and T Infra is positioned as a financial solutions platform catering to the entire value chain of infrastructure development and is committed to providing appropriate financing to its diverse client base. The Company commenced business operations in January 2007 with project financing and has expanded its offerings to cover equity, debt underwriting and syndication and private equity. A broad spectrum of services comprising innovative products and financing structures helps it deliver value propositions to customers. Pursuant to this strategy, the institution has developed expertise along the value chain of infrastructure financing, and over the years, has extended its operating platform from fund-based to fee-based businesses across infra and allied sectors.

 

In the pursuit of sustainable growth, L and T Infra has been investing in manpower development, upgrading systems, technology and processes. The Company’s endeavour is to engage with policy makers and regulators on an on-going basis in order to make suitable suggestions to the government and regulators on policy matters.

 

L and T Infra’s business proposition is not confined to providing finance, but extends to advising customers on diverse financing structures, business planning, risk mitigation and enhancing sustainability. It has followed a proactive engagement approach with affected borrowers and co-lenders to identify and manage incipient stress, which has helped in containing risks and improving overall asset quality.

 

The Company has a qualified and experienced management team and the emphasis is on acquiring talent, skill building, enhancing knowledge and refining it to meet client needs. It has leveraged the experience, expertise and command that the parent L and T Group holds over the complex and technical world of infrastructure and this has helped it to stand apart in the market place.

 

L and T Infra was classified as an Infrastructure Finance Company (IFC) by RBI in July 2010, and notified by the Government of India as a Public Financial Institution (PFI) later in June 2011. Over time, L and T Infra has witnessed its approvals, disbursements and assets increase at a healthy pace and despite FY13 being a very difficult year, L and T Infra posted appreciable growth, which is a validation of its focused growth strategy. In FY13, L and T Infra’s pioneering leadership in financing solar power projects in India was recognised by Asian Development Bank (ADB). This was by way of the ADB awarding accreditation to L and T Infra as its partner in India for financing solar power plants for the private sector. The ADB’s partial credit guarantee facility being made available to L and T Infra will entail ADB sharing 50% of the payment default risk on L and T Infra loans provided to the eligible solar project developers.

 

In terms of the Loan Assets portfolio, L and T Infra’s business in FY13 continued its commitment and focus on infrastructure sectors - comprising power, roads, telecom and ports among other segments. Given the continuing deficit in the power sector, it remains to be a priority sector for L and T Infra in terms of exposure.

 

With challenges in fuel and fuel logistics still continuing, L and T Infra consciously decided to calibrate its growth in the coal thermal sector and focused on emerging sectors like renewable energy as a way to maintain its presence in the power sector. L and T Infra believes that such an effort hedges the portfolio well. The thrust on renewable energy assets, at 21% of total outstanding, forms the single largest part of the power portfolio. Almost all renewable energy projects financed in FY12 and FY13 by L and T Infra have commenced commercial operations, thereby enhancing the overall quality of its portfolio.

 

L and T Infra has continued its focus on the road sector, with an emphasis on projects with bid prices assessed for their reasonableness. With not many road projects being tendered out in FY13, the focus was to offer competitive financing to operational road projects that were supported by healthy traffic and cash flows. A substantial 60% (percentage share of outstanding) of road projects are operational and have demonstrated a steady growth in cash flows, backed by both traffic as well as the consequence of inflation linked toll.

 

In FY13, L and T Infra cautiously and very selectively added telecom projects (including networks and telecom towers) to its portfolio, with a focus on highly rated clients with a sound promoter backing. Further, as a conscious strategy to diversify its customer base and enhance the overall portfolio quality, L and T Infra targeted a few corporate clients with better credit rating - albeit offering relatively lower returns in the near term. Such projects are expected to achieve higher returns on the back of improved operating parameters in the medium term.

 

L and T Infra’s concentration risk with respect to single borrower and single promoter group remains comfortably low, with the top 10 borrowers and promoter groups constituting 19% and 28% of L and T Infra’s total exposure respectively, as on March 31, 2013.

 

Performance

 

Despite high market volatility and poor investor sentiment, the Indian mutual fund industry grew by 19% with overall assets under management closing at ` 701,443 crores as at March 2013 versus ` 587,217 crores for March 2012. (Source: Association of Mutual Fund of India website).

 

Against this backdrop, aided by the acquired business and subsequent new business momentum, L and T Mutual Fund's assets grew rapidly and stood at ` 11,389 crores as at March 31, 2013 versus ` 3,109 crores last year - an increase of 266%. The market share of the business grew from 0.5% to 1.6% based on the closing assets from March 2012 to March 2013. The number of investor folios increased to 895,475 as of March 31, 2013 from 145,712 as of March 31, 2012 - a six-fold increase in the customer base. Further, the Portfolio Management Services (PMS) business remained steady with around ` 100 crores in assets from over 1000 customers as at end March 2013.
