Subject is an established partnership concern having a moderate track record.
Mr. Prakash Patel, Accounts Manager provided general details and denied to
disclose any financial details. As per the information available from indirect source i.e. CRISIL it
seems that the concern possesses a modest financial and operational profile
during the year under review. However, trade relations are fair. Business is active. Payments are
reported as slow but correct. In view of extensive experience of the promoters, the concern can be
considered for business dealings with some caution. |

INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The services sector, the largest contributor to India’s GDP, contracted
for the sixth consecutive month in December, as orders dipped. However, hiring
has risen. Direct tax collections rose 12.3 % during the April – December
period of the current financial year. The government has decided to
retain 100 per cent foreign direct investment in both greenfield (new) and
brown field (existing) pharmaceutical companies, despite concerns over genetic
drugs going out of production, if multi-national companies take over domestic
ones. In M&A deals, a non compete clause would not be allowed, except in
special circumstances. The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion plans
to release the next edition of its consolidated foreign direct investment
policy document on March 31, incorporating changes made in the past year. DIPP
compiles all policies related to India’s FDI regime into a single document to
make it easy for investors to understand. 185 million estimated number of
mobile internet users in India by June 2014, according to a report by the
Internet & Mobile Association of India and IMRB International. India
had 110 million mobile internet users with 25 million in rural areas. $3.77 tn
estimated global IT spending in 2014, according to research firm Gartner Inc.
The growth forecast for this year is cut to 3.1 %from the earlier estimate of
3.5 %. The spending growth forecast for telecom services – a segment that accounts
for more than 40 % at total IT spending – from 1.9 per cent to 1.2 per cent is
the main reason for this overall IT cut. A Reserve Bank of India committee has
recommended setting up a special category of lenders who would cater to small
businesses and households, to expand the number of customers with access to
banking services. These banks would focus onproviding payment services and
deposit products. Indian banks want the free use of automated teller
machines to be capped at five transactions in a month including that of the
bank in which the account is active. This follows state government order to
banks to install security guards at ATM booths after a woman banker was
assaulted in Bangalore. The government is likely to present a vote on Account
in mid-February. The annual Economic Survey will be tabled later in Parliament
along with the full Budget. A full Budget for 2014/15 is likely to be present
in July by the new government formed after the General Election. The government
will soon launch an internet spy system, called Netra, to detect malafide
messages. Security agency will deploy the system to capture dubious voice
traffic on applications such as Skype and Google Talk, as well as tweeters.

DIAMOND INDUSTRY –
INDIA
-
From time immemorial, India is well known in the
world as the birthplace for diamonds. It is difficult to trace the origin
of diamonds but history says that in the remote past, diamonds were mined only
in India. Diamond production in India can be traced back to almost 8th
Century B.C. India, in fact, remained undisputed leader till 18th
Century when Brazilian fields were discovered in 1725 followed by emergence of
S. Africa, Russia and Australia.
-
The achievement of the Indian diamond industry was
possible only due to combination of the manufacturing skills of the Indian
workforce and the untiring and unflagging efforts of the Indian diamantaires,
supported by progressive Government policies.
-
The area of study of family owned diamond
businesses derives its importance from the huge conglomerate of family run
organizations which operate in the diamond industry since many generations.
-
Some of the basic traits of family run business
enterprises include spirit of entrepreneurship, mutual trust lowers transaction
costs, small, nimble and quick to react, information as a source of advantage
and philanthropy.
-
Family owned diamond businesses need to improve on
many fronts including higher standard of corporate governance, long-term
performance – focused strategies, modern management and technology.
-
Utmost caution is to be exercised while dealing
with some medium and large diamond traders which are usually engaged in
fictitious import – export, inter-company transactions, financially assisted by
banks. In the process, several public sector banks lost several hundred million
rupees. They mostly diverted borrowed money for diamond business into real
estate and capital markets.
-
Excerpts from Times of India dated 30th
October 2010 is as under –
-
Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council in its
statistical data has shown the export of polished diamonds to have increase by
28 % in February 2013. Compared to $ 1.4 bn worth of polished diamond export in
February, 2012, India exported $ 1.84 billion worth of polished diamonds in
February 2013. A senior executive of GJEPC said, “Export of cut and polished
diamonds started falling month-wise after the imposition of 2 % of import duty
on the polished diamonds. But February, 2013 has given a new ray of hope to the
industry as the export of polished diamonds has actually increased by 28 %. It
means the industry is on the track of recovery and round tripping of
diamonds has stopped completely.” Demand has started coming from the US, the
UK, Japan and China. India’s polished diamond export is expected to cross $ 21
bn in 2013-14.
-
The banking sector has started exercising restraint
while following prudent risk management norms when lending money to gems and
jewellery sector. This follows the implementation of Basel III accord – a
global voluntary regulatory standard on bank capital adequacy, stress testing
and market liquidity.
