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.

OPERATIONS:

 

The year despite the challenges has been a satisfactory one for the Corporation.

 

The Corporation has achieved a turnover of Rs. 2435.500 Millions and higher operating profit before tax of Rs. 180.100 Millions compared to Rs. 118.500 Millions in the previous year.

 

The results are strictly not comparable with those of previous year in view of the mid term discontinuation of two businesses viz. BCL Springs and Sunmica in the previous year. Further, current year includes results of Auto ancillary business under Electromags division on amalgamation of erstwhile Electromags Automative Products Private Limited. (EAPL) with the Corporation.

 

During the year, the performance of Tea Division was adversely affected due to erratic weather conditions which resulted in lower production and lower sales compared to the previous year. However, higher average price realization of Tea contributed to reduce the adverse impact on profitability. The Coffee Division with favourable prices and increased volumes contributed substantially to improve the profitability and performance of the Plantation Division.

 

Health Care Division reported healthy growth in sales and profit over the previous year with successful launch of new Dental products.

 

Auto Ancillary business under Electromags Division achieved higher profits compared to previous year on account of reduction in overheads despite slow down in auto sector.

 

 

DIVISIONWISE PERFORMANCE:

 

(a) SOUTH INDIA ESTATES:

 

(i) Tea –

 

The production for the year was lower at 78.42 Lakh kgs. as against 84.65 Lakh kgs. for 2011-12 due to low rainfall at Singampatti Estate and almost drought like conditions and uniformly low rainfall at other Estates. Sales Turnover however was higher at Rs. 830.100 Millions compared to Rs. 751.500 Millions of the previous year due to increase in average selling prices.

 

(ii) Coffee –

 

Production for the year, including outsourced beans was 2,399 Tonnes as against 1,640 Tonnes for the year 2011-12. This was due to higher sourcing of Bought Beans from the current season’s crop during November, 2012 to March, 2013 which will be available for sale in the coming year.

 

Sales turnover was higher at Rs. 284.600 Millions as against Rs. 243.700 Millions in the previous year. Sales volume, however, was at the same level at 1,680 Tonnes as against 1,683 Tonnes in the previous year.

 

 

(b) TANZANIAN ESTATES:

 

The crop for the year was lower at 8.14 Lakh kgs. as against 9.22 Lakh kgs. in 2011-12. Sales were at Rs. 54.200 Millions as against Rs. 51.900 Millions in the previous year.

 

 

(c) ELECTROMAGS DIVISION:

 

The turnover for the year was marginally lower at Rs. 1059.100 Millions as against Rs. 1086.300 Millions for 2011-12. Although the auto sector witnessed a slow down during the year, the reduction in overheads and better cost control enabled the division to achieve higher profits as compared to the previous year.

 

 

(d) HEALTHCARE DIVISION:

 

The turnover for the year was Rs. 180.400 Millions as against Rs. 154.300 Millions for 2011-12. This was due to higher sales of own manufactured products, mainly Dental alloys, despite the discontinuation of some traded products.  Dental Products of India Division is the market leader in Dental alloy business in India.

 

 

(e) WEIGHING PRODUCTS DIVISION:

 

Sale of balances for the year was Rs. 23.400 Millions as against Rs. 23.100 Millions for 2011-12. The Division continued to operate profitably.

 

 

(f) REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT:

 

The Corporation is examining various options for development of properties at Kanjur Marg in Mumbai and at Coimbatore under Real Estate Division. The Corporation is also considering development of a small part of Coffee Estate at Coorg as  a “Destination” under Hospitality sector.

 

 

FINANCE:

 

The Corporation has repaid installments of term loans availed of from the banks/institutions on their respective due dates. There were no deposits which were due for repayment and remained unclaimed as on 31st March, 2013.

 

The Corporation has during the year converted the advance subscription given to Leila Lands Senderian Berhad (Malaysia) its wholly owned subsidiary, into equity shares. This will enable the offshore investment potential to be

leveraged.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Plantation Business:

 

(a) Tea:

 

Industry Structure and Developments:

 

The overall Indian Crop for the calendar year 2012 was flat at 1,111.76 million kgs. vs. 1,115.72 million kgs. in 2011. While North Indian crop was higher by 4.53 million kgs. South Indian crop was lower by 8.49 million kgs.

 

In the global scenario, Sri Lankan and Kenyan crops were marginally lower as compared to previous year.

 

Export of Indian tea upto December, 2012 at 156.38 million kgs. was lower by 13.27 million kgs. vis-a-vis previous

year. South Indian tea exports were significantly lower at 60.20 million kgs. as compared to 75.98 million kgs. in the previous year.

 

Import of tea upto December, 2012 was at 16.94 million kgs. which was  5.26% lower than the previous year.

 

Domestic consumption of tea as estimated by Tea Board for financial year 2012-13 was approx. 890 million kgs.

 

Owing to inclement weather, the crop pattern altered during the year – while there was a huge inflow of crop in the first quarter, the latter half of the year had extremely low crops. This led to dwindling of buffer /pipeline stocks and sharp market response from major packers leading to an upsurge in domestic prices. Exports declined with most markets being out-priced by the strong domestic  demand.

 

 

Performance Highlights:

 

Good rainfall in the first half of FY 2012-2013 was followed by drought conditions in the second half, thereby resulting in lower production of tea by 7.2% as compared to the previous year. Consequently, the overall tea sales were lower by 7.13% in terms of volume. However, the average price realization was 19.51% higher in the current year mainly aided by higher domestic prices. Domestic Sales: Lower crops reflected in lower quantities available for sale and domestic volumes declined by 11.83%. The sales through their Depots reduced by 23.57% in terms of volume and increased by 27.75% in terms of average price realisations. Quantity sold through auctions increased by 4.84% and the average price was higher by 22.66%.

 

 

Outlook:

 

Unpredictable weather conditions and the resulting inconsistent supply from the planting districts around India resulted in the drying up of pipeline stocks. This decline is directly reflected in higher pressure on better liquoring teas, which are attracting strong demand from major Packers and Bazaar buyers. Medium and plainer teas however may get neglected.

 

Besides the rising prices in the domestic markets, political turmoil which continues in the major teadrinking countries in the Middle East and northern Africa will put considerable pressure on Indian exports, particularly from South India. Moreover, ocean freights which have been on an increase in the recent times could also put further pressure on Indian exports.

 

General shortage of good liquoring teas in the market and their continuous endeavours in upgrading the quality of their produce will work to the advantage of the Corporation in terms of tapping quality- sensitive markets. The growing awareness of the health benefits of Organic teas is expected to improve demand for the Organic teas pioneered by the Corporation.

 

 

(b) Coffee:

 

Industry structure and developments:

 

Coffee prices stabilized in March 2013, with the monthly average of the ICO composite indicator price essentially unchanged from the previous month. Contrasting trends in the prices of Arabicas and Robustas caused a further narrowing of the arbitrage between the New York and London futures markets to 44.21 US cents/lb, its lowest level since March 2009. 

 

The ICO composite indicator price fell from a high of 135.30 US cents/ lb to a low of 128.52 in March, before correcting upwards to average 131.38 US cents/lb, roughly the same level as in February 2013.

 

This monthly average is 21.7% lower than in March 2012.

 

The epidemic of coffee leaf rust in Central America has had severe social and economic consequences, with losses in the region estimated at 2.3 million bags, worth nearly US$550 million.

 

The current outbreak of coffee leaf rust in Central America is considered one of the worst ever recorded.

 

World production of coffee in the year 2012-13, is estimated at 144.6 million bags, a 6.4% increase over the previous year. World consumption in calendar year 2012 is provisionally estimated at around 142 million bags, compared to 139 million bags in 2011.

 

 

Performance highlights:

 

Their Coffee volumes for 2012-13 was as follows:

 

Arabica … 16,534 bags

Robusta … 23,445 bags

TOTAL … 39,979 bags

 

Added facilities for mechanical drying has resulted in increased bought beans procurement. This has resulted in an increase in turnover by 30%. Increased and focused marketing efforts targeted at selling to retail buyers worldwide has resulted in better margins.

 

Escalating labour and material costs have been absorbed without midterm changes to budgets.

 

 

Outlook:

 

Brazil has produced record Arabica crops for a second year in a row, further hammering down prices. As a result, the price realisation of Arabicas is expected to be lower by 20%. However, incidence of leaf rust in Central America could help improve prices on anticipated shortfall in supplies in the second half of 2013.

 

Lower Robusta crops in Vietnam and increased demand for washed speciality coffees will help shore up the bottom-line affected by fall in Arabica prices.

 

Continuous monitoring of costs in a falling Arabica market, maximizing capacity utilization and timely implementation of new project have helped the Corporation to maintain high growth in turnover and maintaining of bottom lines in an adverse market.

 

Increased and continuous supervision of processing by management staff has resulted in consistent quality of coffees produced.

 

 

(c) Auto Ancillary Business:

 

Industry Structure and Development:

 

The performance of the Auto Ancillary sector depends largely on the automobile industry in the country. The financial year 2012-13 witnessed a sharp decline in the performance of the automobile industry due to a combination of factors such as high interest rates coupled with high inflation, weakening of the rupee, volatility in the cost of raw material and prices of crude oil. Car sales in the country fell for the first time in a decade, down 6.69% as the industry struggled due to a sluggish economy and negative sentiments.

 

The downturn has however, not dented the confidence and spirit of the automobile industry. Major OEM’s have continued to invest in increased capacities and grow, preferring to view the 2012-13 performance as an aberration. Foreign investments continued with companies such as Daimler, John Deere, Renault, Nissan etc., either setting up plants on their own in the country or forging Joint Ventures and alliances with large domestic players. Overall, the outlook for the Indian Auto Industry is positive and a turnaround is expected during the latter part of the current financial year.

 

 

Segment Wise Performance:

 

The current segment wise share of business is as follows:

 

Sector

% of Business

4 Wheeler

76%

ATM Parts

12%

2 Wheeler

9%

Other White Goods

1%

 

Concerted efforts are underway at the Division to decrease the dependence on the 4 Wheeler segment by increasing the share of business in non-Auto and Other White Goods.

 

 

Outlook:

 

The Division has historically focused mainly on the Auto Industry with 85 % of total volume coming from this industry during 2012-13. Auto Industry, therefore has a direct impact on the results of the Division. Increased focus on diversification and R&D initiatives towards the non-Auto sector have resulted in the Division now actively pursuing opportunities for a greater share in the White Goods sector, that is, other than existing ATM and Washing Machine parts and exploring opportunities in Solar and Medical components business during 2013-14 and in the future.

 

 

(d) Health Care Business:

 

Industry Structure and Development

 

The Indian healthcare market ranks amongst the top ten markets in the world and its contribution to the country’s GDP is around 2%. Whereas the total market for dental equipments and materials is estimated to be around Rs. 4300.000 Millions annually, the market in which the Dental Products division of the Corporation operates is estimated at around Rs. 400.000 Millions. Although the Indian dental healthcare industry is dominated by importers rather than manufacturers, the turnover of the Dental Products division is mainly from products manufactured by it.

 

With a number of foreign companies investing in the Indian dental products market and some of them licensing Indian manufacturers to produce certain items, India is fast progressing into becoming a manufacturing hub for dental equipments and materials.

 

The oral healthcare awareness in the urban areas has ensured a steady growth in the dental products market. However, the industry reaching its potential would depend upon the government’s policy in terms of providing subsidies to set up dental practice in the rural areas and mini metros.

 

 

Performance Highlights:

 

Sale of the manufactured products such as alloy, polymers and impression materials registered a growth of 16% over previous year. Sale of traded materials was however lower by 6% in the view of discontinuation of certain product lines in the trading business.

 

 

Outlook:

 

Despite increasing competition, introduction of new superior products and lower margins, the business is sustainable due to the growing market for their existing products backed by a nation-wide distribution network and the demand for new products, which the Corporation is continuously striving to meet. Their products command high brand equity which is the result of quality products and an efficient after-sales service network.

 

Two new materials viz. Calcium Hydroxide (for dental fillings) and EDTA Gel are being launched in the near future which is expected to find easy acceptance in the market. The Corporation is also evaluating the emerging markets for dental lasers as also investment material for dental laboratories.

 

 

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

 

A. Sundry claims against the Corporation by employees and others not admitted (amount indeterminate). In the opinion of the management, the outcome of these claims is likely to be immaterial.

 

B. Disputed demands of Central Excise Department not provided for in respect of:
