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’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

GLOBAL ECONOMY

 

The global economic environment deteriorated in the second half of 2012 with concerns over fiscal sustainability in Europe, and increased risk aversion around the world. Hardening credit constraints and risk aversion have transferred financial sector difficulties to the real economy. For developing countries in general, the contagion has been broad-based, with higher funding costs and sharply weakened capital flows, although that does not yet seem to have affected India. Global economic conditions are fragile, and there remains great uncertainty as to how markets will evolve over the medium term.

 

INDIAN ECONOMY

 

In India, the slowdown in GDP growth witnessed over the last two quarters is likely to extend into the coming fiscal year because of the weakness in investment. In FY 2012-13 and FY 2013-14, GDP growth is forecast to reach around 4.5-5.5 percent, as significant slowdown from the 7.5-8 percent growth in the run-up to the global financial crisis. The slowdown is at least partly caused by structural problems (power projects facing delays due to the lack of coal and gas feedstock, mining and the telecom sectors hit by corruption scandals, unavailability of land and infrastructure). Tighter macroeconomic policies, slow growth in the core OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries and worries in core sector.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE

 

The pipe industry is an important part of manufacturing sector and is a major consumer of steel. The industry has benefited from economic growth and the increasing emphasis on infrastructure. The key economic driver for the industry includes water, infrastructure, oil and gas exploration, transportation and power industry.

 

Today, pipes are the most preferred mode of transport for liquids and gases globally as they are safe and economical. In comparison to rail and roads, they have lower operating cost per unit and also higher capacity.

 

India has become the global pipe manufacturing hub primarily due to its lower cost, high quality and geographical advantages.

 

Additionally, Indian companies have acquired global accreditations and certifications which make them preferred suppliers to most of the world’s top oil and gas companies in the Middle East, North America and Europe.

 

OUTLOOK:

 

Considering the business model the Company had pursued in the past for exports and domestic, the future model is being adjusted to overcome the threat of Anti-dumping and CVD imposed by the USA and the loss of business due to the same in USA.

 

As one of the petitioners has filed a case against order of ITC, USA, as stated above, many customers are shy of doing the trade with their Company till the disposal of the petition.

 

More aggressive approach in domestic market supported by good domestic economic growth, backed by well established brand image, global reach and focused approach, the Company is hopeful that the demand for the Companies steel pipes will continue to grow in future.

 

Company is also aggressively pursuing the plan to move up in the value chain by diversifying/expanding into locations and additional product range. The Company is also in the process of further improvising its performance by achieving organic and inorganic growth.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:

 

During the year, the net income of the Company has reduced to Rs.2925.992 millions as compared to Rs.4842.183 millions of previous year due to decline in sales on account of the various factors enumerated above including the levy of anti dumping duty by USA which has affected the exports drastically. This loss of revenue also affected the cash flow of the Company resulting into overdrawal of the limits sanctioned by banks to the Company temporarily. The Company is working on the way and means to regularize the overdraft with the co-operation and consensus of the bankers. Loss after Tax for the financial year stood at Rs.446.914 millions as against profit of Rs.15.371 millions of previous year.
