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.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

Standalone results for the year 2012-13 include effect of amalgamation of Marine Cables and Wires Private Limited (MCWPL) with the Company from 1st April, 2012 being the transfer date as detailed in para 2(a) of this report. However, the same for the year 2011-12 are without such inclusion and therefore not comparable.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS / OUTLOOK:

 

(A) Industry Structure, Development, Opportunities, Threats, Outlook

 

The Indian Government has revised the capacity addition in power generation upwards to 88,537 MW as compared to the initial target of 76,000 MW for the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17). India’s future GDP growth will depend greatly on the supply of electricity to the various parts of the country.

 

The addition in power generation during the previous year has fallen short by around 20% as compared to the target set by the Government. The Indian Power sector has been facing difficulties due to the coal sourcing issues and environmental clearances, resulting in slowdown in fresh investments in generation.

 

The Indian economy continued to be under strain during the year. The domestic demand for electrical equipment remained depressed. The Indian electrical industry had a reduction of growth of approx 6% as compared to the previous year.

 

There is a general expectation that once the issues on the generation sector are addressed, the power sector will bounce back. Being amongst the leading companies in the fields of transformer oils, conductors and cables, Their Company will stand to gain further, once the market revives.

 

Despite the challenges from the external circumstances in the previous year, the Company increased its revenue from Rs. 34532.600 Millions to Rs. 45321.900 Millions (net of excise duty) increased by 31.2% on standalone basis. The Company’s export stood at Rs. 12825.400 Millions during the year which was 45% more than the exports of the previous year and were to over 90 countries.

 

Margins from the manufacturing activities during the year were Rs. 3030.900 Millions as against Rs. 1969.400 Millions in the previous year on standalone basis; increased by 53.9%. The segment-wise operations were as under:

 

(i) Transformer and Speciality Oil segment

 

This division contributed 41.9 % of the Company’s revenue. Details of sales revenues and segmental profit (standalone basis) are:

The year FY13 was a challenging year for the speciality oil division especially in the domestic market. Transformer oil sales in the domestic market were affected most in the distribution transformer segment and sale to the electricity distribution companies. The main reason for this is the poor financial health of the state electricity distribution companies. This has resulted in lower demand for distribution transformers from the lack of funds and slow recovery of payments from them which in turn has affected the financial capability of the distribution transformer manufacturers. The Company has had to resort to a careful approach to this segment, limiting sales in cases to maintain prudent control on debtors. Demand in the power transfer segment has also been affected but its impact on the Company was not as much as in the distribution segment.

 

The other sub-business segments of white oils, rubber process oils, industrial and automotive lubricants have all increased volume sales over the previous year. There was also a very strong improvement in overseas business (outside India sales), which registered a volume growth of 25%. Hence, the overall volume growth of the oil segment was up by approximately 7.7% in the backdrop of difficult market circumstances. This is reflective of the strong product and brand positioning, the Company enjoys in the marketplace and with its customers.

 

Even though there was an increase in sales volume, the profitability has been affected due to the following three reasons:

 

a) There was fluctuation in the prices of base oils through the year, which resulted in longer period to increase prices in the face of reduced demand.

 

b) There was a lot of fluctuation in the exchange rate and as a consequence of the variability, an increase in hedging costs.

 

c) The financial liquidity in the market has been generally poor resulting in increase in debtor days, limiting sales to reduce debtor exposure and as a result of some of these effects higher cost of debtors and carrying inventory.

 

During the year, the Company also increased its equity stake in its joint venture, Apar ChemateK Lubricants Limited, which markets the world famous Agip branded lubricants from 50% to 97.5%. In the coming years, the Company will increase its efforts and resources to grow its sales in the automotive sector and expects to grow this sub-segment at a faster pace than the other sub-segments.

 

The net sales turnover of the Agip brand of automotive lubricants produced by the Company with a license and technical knowhow of ENI-S.p.A of Italy, increased to Rs.1813.800 Millions as against Rs. 1632.500 Millions in the previous year.

 

The profit for this segment came in at Rs. 1131.600 Millions as against Rs. 1401.100 Millions in the previous year even though there was an increase in sales volume.

 

In the coming year, the Company is cautiously optimistic that the demand for its products will be better once policy decisions announced for the revival of the power sector are implemented.

The division had a strong year registering significant increases in sales turnover, segment profit and export turnover. The orders were generally profitable and allowed for optimum capacity utilisation.

 

During the year, the division entered into an agreement with CTC Global, USA for the manufacture of a certain type of patented high-performance conductor called ACCC under CTC’s license.

 

The domestic orders executed included a large component from PGCIL which were booked in 2011-12. Unfortunately, PGCIL had not finalised many orders during 2012-13. PGCIL has been experiencing slowdown in execution of its projects on account of delays in generation projects, right of way issues and land acquisition problems. The Company has booked orders from other customers in the private sector which will be executed during 2013-14.

 

During the year, the Company embarked on expanding its capacity in Silvassa in order to improve its competitiveness in the domestic and export markets.

 

The order book as of 1st April, 2013 stood at Rs. 11320.000 Millions and the orders in pipeline stood at Rs. 2560.000 Millions.

The cables segment had a good growth in terms of sales value of about 18% from the previous year. The revenue of Uniflex cables in the last four and a half years under the Apar management (September 2008 onwards) has grown from Rs. 312.500 Millions to Rs. 4075.400 Millions representing a CAGR of 76.95%.

 

The main area for sales growth came from high tension cables. The Company also increased its presence in the optical fibre cable segment with new approvals from BSNL, Reliance and export customers. There is a significant expansion and upgradation that the Company is investing in this area as there is likely to be strong demand both in India and overseas in the OFC networks.

 

The overall market conditions remain to be very competitive with margins on standard products being unremunerative. The Company continues to focus on value added products to overcome this situation.

 

The E-beam plant is nearing completion. The Company has installed two accelerators. Of the two, the 1.5 MeV is already ready and is awaiting final approval for commercial operation from the Atomic Energy Research Board which is expected by the end of Q1FY14. Trial production on this machine has been successful and products have started receiving acceptance from clients. The 3 MeV machine is still under installation and commissioning.

 

Several cost reduction measures have been taken by improving machinery, processes and manpower reduction. The company has also implemented a successful VRS scheme.

 

The company is working towards a similar growth in FY14 over FY13. There will also be a further improvement in the product mix as the company gets its E beam accelerators fully commissioned and approvals for its newly developed products.
