INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

N E W S

 

The economy grew 4.7 %in 2013/14, marking a second straight year of sub-5 % growth – the worst slowdown in more than a quarter of a century. The data was below an official estimate of 4.9 % annual growth and compared with 4.5 % in the last fiscal year. However, the current account deficit narrowed sharply to $ 32.4 billion at 1.7 % of gross domestic product, in 2013/14 from a record high of $ 98.8 billion or 4.7 %, the year before.A sharp fall in gold imports due to restrictions on overseas purchases and muted import of capital goods helped shrink the current account deficit.

 

Online retailer Flipkart has acquired fashion portal Myntra as it prepares to battle with the rapidly expanding India arm of the global e-commerce giant Amazon. The company raised $ 210 million from Russian Investment firm DST Global which has also invested in companies like Facebook, Twitter and Alibaba Group.

 

General Motors will start exporting vehicles from its Talegaon plant near Pune in the second half of 2014. GM was one of the few global carmakers that was using its India plant only for the domestic market.

 

Google has overtaken Apple as the world’s top brand in terms of value, according to global market research agency Millward Brown. Google’s brand value shot up 40 % in a year to $ 158.84 billion. The top 10 of the 100 slots were dominated by US companies.

He is the third CEO-hopeful to quit after Chairman N R Narayana Murthy’s return to the company – Ashok Vemuri and V Balakrishnan being the other two.While Vemuri went on to lead IGate, Balakrishnan joined politics.

 

Naresh Goyal – promoted Jet Airways posted biggest quarterly loss – Rs 2153.37 crore – in the three months ended March 31, mainly because it has been offering discounts to passengers to fill planes.

This is the second time that he has been taken into custody. A year, ago the Kerala Police had arrested Pinckney and two company directors on charges of financial irregularities.

 

China has told its state-owned enterprises to sever links with American consulting firms after the United States charged five Chinese military officers wih hacking US companies. China’s action which targets consultancies like McKinsey & Co. and the Boston Consulting Group, sterns from fears that the first are providing trade secrets to the US governments.

 

India has emerged as a country with some of the highest unregistered businesses in the world. Indonesia has the maximum number of shadow businesses, says a study of 68 countries by Imperial College Business School in London.

AMALGAMATION OF BAJAJ ECO-TEC PRODUCTS LIMITED

 

The Scheme of Amalgamation of wholly-owned subsidiary Bajaj Eco-Tec Products Limited (BEPL) with the Company in terms of the provisions of Sections 391 and 394 of the Companies Act, 1956 (“the scheme”) with the Appointed Date as April 01, 2012 was unanimously approved by the Equity Shareholders of the Company, and also by the Secured Creditors and Unsecured Creditors of the Company and BEPL at their respective court convened meetings held on June 16, 2012.

 

Subsequently, upon sanction of the Scheme vide Orders passed by the Hon’ble High Court of Judicature at Bombay on September 14, 2012 and completion of other formalities in this regard on October 01, 2012 by both the Companies, the Scheme has become effective from October 01, 2012.

 

Financial Results

 

On a stand-alone basis, the Company achieved a turnover of Rs. 43687.800 Millions as compared to Rs. 49191.500 Millions in the previous year mainly due to lower volume of sugar sales in 2011-12 and sale of raw sugar in 2010-11 inspite of higher production and higher sales realization as compared to the previous year. The loss after tax stood at Rs. 2345.700 Millions as compared to the profit of Rs. 120.000 Millions in the previous year. On a consolidated basis, the turnover including other income was Rs. 44513.000 Millions compared to Rs. 50819.000 Millions in the previous year. The loss after tax and minority interest is Rs. 3201.100 Millions as against profit of Rs. 214.500 Millions in the previous year.

 

The financial and operating results for current financial year are not strictly comparable with those of previous financial year 2010-11 to the extent that current financial year includes figures pertaining to the erstwhile subsidiary Bajaj Eco-Tec Products Limited for half year viz. from Appointed Date as April 01, 2012 to September 30, 2012 consequent upon the merger of BEPL with the Company whereas in the previous year these were for the Company only.

The operations of power generation were smooth at all of their fourteen sugar plants. While most of the power generated by us continued to be used captively to run their plants, the surplus power was sold to the Uttar Pradesh State grid.

 

Power generation was substantially higher at 8,21,215 MW as compared to 5,56,578 MW in the previous year recording a growth of 48%. This was achieved primarily out of higher quantum of bagasse available from the crushing of sugarcane and optimum utilisation of co-gen capacities resulting from efficient planning. The Company exported 3,46,180 MW of power during the year as against 1,75,842 MW during the previous year, an increase of 97%.

 

Bagasse Boards

 

During the period from April 01, 2012 (Appointed Date of Amalgamation) to September 30, 2012, the Company manufactured 4,905 MT of Particle Board (PB) and 10,118 MT of Medium Density Fibre Board (MDF) at its two plants at Kinauni and Palia Kalan, respectively. Operations at the Kundarkhi plant remained suspended due to non-availability of adequate quantity of sugarcane bagasse in and around that area.

 

The Company sold 5,513 MT of PB and 14,415 MT of MDF during the period.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Global Scenario

 

In the third consecutive year, Sugar Year (SY) 2012 has seen spurt in the production of sugar across all major sugar producing and consuming countries. This trend is likely to continue in SY2013 despite reduction in sugar output from EU, Thailand and other countries. Major contributors to surplus sugar production will be Russia followed by China and Australia. Late revival of Indian monsoon has waned the threat of prolonged drought in the major sugar producer states and will contribute to a wider surplus sugar scenario than anticipated. Rains kept sugar mills in Brazil away from crushing at full capacity earlier this year but eased in early July and the industry has produced an impressive show since then.

 

During SY2013, the World sugar output has been estimated by ISO, Kingsman, ABARES, Czarnikow, Sucden and other leading sugar research agencies in the range of 175-180 MMT and consumption in the range of 166 to 171 MMT and this will lead to surplus sugar scenario globally.

 

Given the increasing trend of sugar production and an estimated 177 MMT production in SY2012, it is unlikely that sugar prices will have any upward buoyancy over the next year. The main reason for spurt in sugar production has been attributed to the two years of big deficit during 2008-09 and 2009-10 when world sugar market witnessed high sugar prices. This motivated millers and farmers across the world to increase cane cultivation, sugar production. From the year 2008-09, there has been excellent recovery in countries like Russia, Thailand, India and China.

 

 

Outlook

 

Given the much faster glut of production, global stock to consumption ratio (a key indicator of health of the sugar industry) is expected to rise in the near term impacting global prices with a negative bias.

 

Brazil is expected to consolidate its position as the leading global exporter and will account for over 55% of global trade and over 63% of all additional sugar exports by the close of the projection period. While the bulk of Brazil’s exports will continue to comprise high quality raw sugar, which is likely to increase to 21 million MT in 2020-21, the composition of trade will also start to favour white sugar shipments which grow by 50% and amount to over 12 million MT in the same period. The growing concentration of global sugar exports is not without risks for sugar users as world export supplies depend increasingly on the growing conditions of a single country. This may be another factor, in addition to production cycles in Asia, which contributes to future market volatility. A possible counterweight is that a majority of Brazil’s sugarcane will continue to be used for ethanol production and many mills have the capacity to produce both sugar and ethanol. Brazil also remains the only exporter that can switch 5-10% of milling capacity between sugar and ethanol production within a year in response to changes in relative profi tability between the two end uses. This fl exibility should help assure sugar production and export availabilities, when relative prices periodically favour sugar over ethanol production. A signifi cant recent development was that China exceeded for the fi rst time the TRQ of 1.95 MT established on sugar imports at the time of its entry to the WTO in 1998. Rapid economic growth and urbanisation trends are promoting the industrial use of sugar in food manufacture and preparations. Along with low per capita sugar consumption levels of only 11 kg per person in the population at large and tightening government controls on the production and use of artifi cial sweeteners, these are expected to lead collectively to strong growth in sugar use in China in coming years. Sugar disappearance is projected to grow by over 3% p.a., exceeding the growth of production which is increasingly limited by tightening water availability and boosting sugar imports to over 5 MT by 2020-21. This will make China the largest importer exceeding that of the EU, US and the Russian Federation. In terms of other leading exporters, Thailand plays a unique role in Asia as the only consistent producer of a large sugar surplus and with a natural trade advantage, along with Australia, to service the large and ballooning sugar defi cit in that region. Exports from Thailand, which is ranked number two in the world, are projected to grow to around 5.8 MT by 2020- 21, exceeding the 2003 record. In the case of Australia, increased production over the projection period should support exports of around 3.8 MT by 2020-21. Strong demand for HFCS in Mexico, which is expected to grow to 75% of total sweetener consumption and similar to the situation in the US, will substitute for sugar used in beverage manufactures, releasing surplus sugar for export to the US market. Mexican exports to the preferred US market are projected to exceed 1.8 MT by 2020-21.

 

 

INDIAN SCENARIO

 

A typical feature of the sugar market in India is the cyclical nature of production, where 2-3 years of surplus are followed by 2-3 years of defi cit. In recent years, the cycle has been more pronounced, with larger swings in production and trade.

 

After an increase in 2006-07 to 30.1 MT, 33% over the record 2002-03 crop, sugar output declined to 15.2 MT in 2008-09 and is currently estimated at 26 MT for 2011-12. Trade generally follows a similar trend, with imports exceeding 2 MT during the deficit phase of the cycle, replaced by large exports during the surplus phase. Weather patterns of course are a key factor as sugarcane yields are greatly affected by the level of rainfall, notably during the critical monsoon season. But, domestic sugar polices amplify the cycle through\ their effect on incentives along the sugar value chain, including for farmers and sugar factories. There are four broad areas of public intervention that regulate the sugar market in India. First, both the Central and the State Governments set a price support for sugarcane. In general, the Central Government announces a price level, referred to as the Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) for sugar at which sugar factories are legally required to pay farmers for their sugarcane. On the other hand certain State Governments announces sugarcane price for its respective states known as State Advised Price (SAP) which is substantially higher than the FRP. The second area of intervention is through restrictions on sugar quantities to be sold on the market, as well as imposing on the sugar factories a so-called sugar levy, by which they are required to sell at below market price to the public distribution centres. In addition, the government regulates sugar trade via export limitations and marketing restrictions, such as limits on private stockholdings.

 

Initially, the government introduced these polices to sustain the income of sugarcane farmers while at the same time protecting consumers from sugar price inflation. Reconciling these objectives is a challenge as fixed sugarcane prices are disconnected from the relatively market-based sugar prices.

 

Against a backdrop of recurrent large swings in production, sugar demand in India has been growing steadily at about 4% per year over the past 10 years.

 

Therefore, the domestic production and consumption balance moves from periods of surpluses and deficits, leading to often significant changes in the trade position. For instance, in 2007-08, exports reached 4.7 MT (9.7% of world exports), but in 2009-10, these were replaced by imports of about 4 MT (7% of world imports). These changes in trade channel the swings in domestic production to the international sugar markets, contributing to its volatility, especially during periods of global market tightness.

 

The potential for expanding sugar production in India exists and can be fully exploited if adjustments were introduced to ensure a market driven relationship between sugar and sugarcane prices. Also, relaxing some of the existing measures, such as the monthly releases, could provide sugar factories with some cash flow fl exibility. The use and valorisation of sugarcane by-products, such as ethanol, electric power and other derivatives, can cushion against low sugar prices and other market risks. The liberalisation of the sugar industry can only be undertaken within the context of broader domestic reforms, because of the linkages on both demand and supply sides that prevail in agricultural commodity markets.

BAJAJ HINDUSTHAN LIMITED’S AND SUBSIDIARY - BAJAJ HINDUSTHAN SUGAR AND INDUSTRIES LIMITED’S BOARDS APPROVE MERGER

 

Merger to further consolidate leadership position of BHL in India's Sugar Sector

·         BHSIL shareholders to receive one share of BHL for every 5 shares of BHSIL

·         The appointed date of merger of BHSIL with BHL is April 1, 2010

·         Merger to enhance efficiencies from scale and synergies

 

MUMBAI, 17 June 2010: The Boards of Directors of Bajaj Hindusthan Limited. (BHL) and Bajaj Hindusthan Sugar and Industries Limited (BHSIL) today unanimously approved the merger of BHSIL with BHL, subject to all necessary approvals. The Boards of both the companies have recommended an exchange ratio of one (1) share of BHL for every five (5) shares of BHSIL.

 

Commenting on Merger, Mr. Kushagra Bajaj, Jt. Managing Director BHL and Chairman BHSIL said: "Post Merger BHL will have sugarcane crushing capacity of 1,36,000 TCD, Distillery capacity of 800 KL per day and surplus bagasse based co-generation thermal power capacity of 105 MW. Upon merger the combined capacities of BHL and BHSIL along with their respective inherent operational strengths will strengthen BHL's position in India's sugar sector and will enable the company to further enhance overall shareholder value"

 

Mr. Bajaj further added "The amalgamation is a natural consequence and will result in the creation of a single larger entity in place of two smaller entities carrying on similar business under the same management and control; thus, resulting in rationalisation of operations, better profitability, enhanced production capacity and a stronger competitive position."

 

Benefits of Merger:

 

The merger will enhance the value for shareholders of both BHL and BHSIL. This merger will lead to a consequential increase in BHL's equity and will be significantly beneficial for post merger BHL's shareholders. There will be further gains and benefits from reduced operating costs arising from the synergies of a combined operation.

 

The proposed merger will contribute to the substantial benefits for BHL in terms of scale, integration, enhanced financial strength and flexibility, thereby enhancing shareholder value.

 

Under the proposed terms of the merger, against the stake of BHL in BHSIL, corresponding numbers of BHL shares will be directly issued and allotted to a Trust to be held, for the benefit of BHL.

 

BHSIL shareholders will benefit from the opportunity to participate in BHL's future growth, by obtaining shares in the No. 1 sugar company in India.

 

Merger Details:

 

The appointed date of merger of BHSIL with BHL is 1.4.2010.

 

Under the terms of the proposed merger, BHSIL shareholders will receive 1 (one) share of BHL for every 5 (five) BHSIL shares held by them.

 

Against the stake of BHL in BHSIL, corresponding numbers of BHL shares will be held in a Trust, for the benefit of BHL, as Treasury Stock.
