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 on providing 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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDIAN RETAIL

 

The Indian retail segment accounts for more than one fifth of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and contributes about 8% to the total employment. The Indian retail market is amongst the largest and fastest growing in the world. With a population of over1.2 billion and household size of 4 to 5 on an average, it is not difficult to see the potential attractiveness that this market offers. Indian retail business has grown by 16% Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the past two years and expected to accelerate to18.8 % over the next few years, according to The India Retail Report 2013. India has emerged as the fifth most favourable destination for retailers, according to A T Kearney's Global Retail Development Index (GRDI) 2012. India ranks 6th in the Retail Talent Index, thanks to many years of a large, young, well-educated and attractive labour market, according to the report.

 

India's income pyramid has changed dramatically during the past two decades and will evolve even more significantly. As a result, consumption driven by "Choice" instead of "need" will grow significantly.

 

 

MODERN RETAIL – TODAY

 

Modern retail has been in existence for some time now. In India, modern retail constitutes 7.8 % of the total retail market. According to The India Retail Report findings, modern retail in India is growing at a rapid rate of 26.8% CAGR and is expected to grow even faster by 2015. By 2015 the share of modern retail in India is expected to rise to more than 10 % of total retail in India. With the young demographics that India is blessed with, it can be assumed that modern retail will be trendy, fashionable, in demand and buzzing with hives of promotion and opportunities. With an increasing number of men and women working and being independent, disposable income is increasing. The easy availability of financial instruments is also playing its part in growing the modern retail space and consumption.

 

Modern retail is expected to mushroom in smaller towns in the next 3 years and also make a foray in to the rural heartland of India to service the 70% of the Indian population which is still in the rural markets. Qualitative factors within each city/town, such as modernisation index, westernisation index, youth population, etc., will play an important role in ascertaining the demand for categories and brands, which in turn will determine the direction and extent to which penetration in rural towns would happen.

 

With modern trade gaining ground in India, the opportunity for strong and continuous growth is immense. A simple comparison with other developed and emerging economies in Asia indicates room for a manifold increase in modern trade density. With a modest six modern trade stores per million customers, even matching the pace of countries like Thailand and Indonesia points to an inflection point that is yet to occur. Contrasted with the density of traditional trade outlets, the lower density of modern trade is certainly poised to change.

 

 

MODERN RETAIL – CHALLENGES AHEAD

 

The Indian economic sector, including retail, has weathered an uneven ride. Changes in policies and markets have caused investors in this market to draw caution and adopt wait-and-watch policies. Rising inflation, even when disposable income has risen, has left a dampening mark on retail sales and consumption. Brands have decided to ensure an effective presence strategy while speculation markets have dropped. Big malls that were assured of complete occupancy just a few years back are having to resort to price-leading strategies to woo in tenants and consumers.

 

Retailers in India are struggling to strike a balance between choosing available retail space in desired location and rentals. The next challenge is that of human capital. With attrition still very high in the industry, human capital management continues to remain one of the top three agenda points for the retailer. The cost of training and retraining staff to replace people who leave, is high specifically for larger retailers who want to maintain a particular standard in their operations. Skill development, hence, is a critical factor to achieve scale and is an area which needs investment.
