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.

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.

 

William S Pinckney – Chairman and CEO of Amway India was arrested by the Andhra Pradesh Police in connection with a complaint against the direct selling firm. 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.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

 

The total revenue of the Company increased by around 61% in the financial year ended 31 March 2013 to Rs. 2320.000 millions as against Rs.1440.000 millions in the previous financial year. This is primarily on account on increase in chemicals and metal products business. Commission income has increased by around 28% in the financial year ended 31 March 2013 to Rs. 660.000 millions as against to Rs. 540.000 millions in the previous year. Other income has decreased by around 10.3% in year ended 31 March 2013 to Rs. 41.700 millions as against Rs. 46.500 millions in the previous financial year. Other income includes interest on deposits which for the financial year ended 31 March 2013 was Rs. 40.200 millions as against Rs. 40.300 millions in the previous financial year. There was exchange loss of Rs. 23.420 millions during the current financial year ended 31 March 2013 as against exchange gain of Rs. 4.340 millions during the previous year. On an overall, the net profit of the Company has increased by around 41% in the year ended 31 March 2013 to Rs 138. 000 millions as compared to Rs. 98.000 millions in the previous year.

 

There has been a slow growth in the economy during financial year 2012-13 and future outlook continues to remain a bit pessimistic due to slowdown in domestic growth, prevailing inflation and current account deficit situation and continued negative growth in the euro area.

 

The Company along with Sumitomo group companies is exploring opportunities for investment and proposes to co-invest along with other Sumitomo group companies if a suitable and good opportunity is available in India. In order to meet the funding requirement for such prospective downstream investments, the Board decided to raise funds by offering, on preferential basis, 60 lakh equity shares of Rs. 10/- each at a premium of Rs. 40/- per equity share for a total amount of Rs. 300.000 millions to Sumitomo Corporation Asia Pte Limited (i.e. its existing principal shareholder) and the offer was fully subscribed and shares were issued thereof.

 

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMIC OVERVIEW:

 

The World Bank, Credit Analysis and Research Limited and Dun and Bradstreet have presented a broadly similar outlook for 2013.

 

Global economic prospects for 2013 continue to remain downbeat as uncertainty and vulnerabilities of economies towards financial stress, real economy constraints and uneven recovery continue to persist with a global economic recovery proving harder to come by than originally anticipated.

 

The global economy is transitioning into what is likely to be a smoother and less volatile period. For high-income countries, growth in 2013 is projected to be a modest 1.2%. However, for high-income countries, broadly, conditions have improved. Financial market risk indicators have all improved significantly. However, fiscal consolidation, high unemployment and still weak consumer and business confidence will continue to dampen growth this year. Whilst such challenges faced by high-income countries shall continue to persist, the likelihood that these challenges will provoke a major crisis has declined markedly.

 

Despite this modest growth in high income countries, real-side activity remains sluggish in Europe, where it is being held back by weak confidence and continued banking sector and fiscal restructuring. The Euro Area is now estimated to contract by 0.6% in 2013. The European Central Bank introduced a thus far unused sovereign bond buying scheme to buy debt from countries that request bailout funds. Also, 25 countries joined a fiscal pact giving Brussels the power to review national budgets, expand the European Financial Stability Facility (effectively a firewall for indebted sovereign governments) and European Stability Mechanism (to help recapitalize private sector banks) and begin discussions on a possible European banking union. While these moves have sustained the Euro zone in the short term, more needs to be done to stop a Greek exit. Meanwhile, national governments introduced austerity measures to reduce burgeoning fiscal deficits and public sector debt levels, a development that has additionally impacted short-term growth prospects.

 

The recovery is on more solid ground in the United States, where a fairly robust private sector recovery is being held back, but not extinguished by fiscal tightening. The corporate sector is now in its strongest financial health in years, balance sheets have been rebuilt owing to the completion of deleveraging programs, payment performance is improving, and bankruptcies are declining. Meanwhile, in Japan, a dramatic relaxation of macroeconomic policy appears to have sparked an uptick in activity, at least over the short-term.

 

The story for developing countries is, for the most part, rosier. Developing economies have more or less completely recovered from the 2008 crisis and less volatile external conditions are expected to yield a gradual acceleration of activity in developing regions. Developing country gross domestic product is now projected to be around 5.1% in 2013. Looking at broader region-wide trends, East Asia is expected to grow by 7.3% this year; developing Europe and Central Asia by 2.8%; Latin America by 3.3%; Middle East and North Africa by 2.5%; South Asia by 5.2% and Sub-Saharan Africa by 4.9%. However, developing countries are not a homogenous group, and policy prescriptions may need to be tailored accordingly.

 

The economic challenges thrown up in the past few years have been more prolonged and challenging than any such previous challenges in the last century. A unique set of challenges and opportunities await economies in future, some of which include:

 

a) Fiscal challenges being faced in European Union and United States;

b) Deregulation and rebalancing in key sectors of developing economies;

c) The uncertain longer term effects of new monetary policies being employed to meet current economic challenges;

d) Commodity price uncertainty (including oil prices); and

e) Food inflation.

 

 

INDIAN BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMIC OVERVIEW:

 

The Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister of India and the World Bank have presented a broadly similar outlook for 2013 in relation to India.

 

Growth and, more particularly, industrial growth has slowed. Overall economic growth is expected to rise to 6.4% in 2013-14 and India is likely to remain one of the faster growing nations in the world, although the expected pace takes a step back from the very high growth rates achieved in the late 2000s.

 

Investment and savings rates have come down but economic growth has declined more steeply than what is warranted by the decline in investment. The main reason for this is that while capital assets have been formed, counterpart output has not flowed into the economy. Capital accumulated in projects is not yielding commensurate output, as the implementation of projects has slowed. Policy and administrative actions such as the recently constituted cabinet committee on investment may help to overcome obstacles in the speedy execution of projects but more needs to be done in the coming months so that new investment can be facilitated. In the current context, achieving the production and capacity creation targets in the key infrastructure sectors such as coal, power, roads, railways and ports, which are largely in the public sector or public private partnership model, will act as a great stimulus to private investment and faster growth.

 

Weak exports, elevated imports, and a significant depreciation of the rupee in the first half of 2013 have widened the current account deficit to a record high, although recent data points to some narrowing of the trade gap. Current Account Deficit is estimated to be USD 94 billion (5.1% of gross domestic product) in 2012-13 and is projected to be USD 100 billion (4.7% of gross domestic product) in 2013-14. Specific mention needs to be made of the close link between India’s dependence on imports of oil and natural gas and its current account deficit. Hence, steps should be taken to improve the energy economy in all aspects i.e. production, transformation and final use. Facilitating an increase in domestic coal production will make a substantial difference. The conditions for exploration and production of hydrocarbons must be improved to increase domestic supply. While in the short run, actions that are necessary to encourage capital flows need to be taken, over the medium term, India must bring down the current account deficit to moderate levels.

 

Inflation continues to remain high, but there are definite signs that headline WPI inflation is coming down. The provisional figure for inflation at the end of 2012-13 is 5.96%. In 2013-14, the headline WPI inflation is expected to be around 6.0 %, with primary food inflation around 8%, fuel at about 11% and manufactured goods at around 4%. Non-food manufacturing inflation remains around the comfort zone. Further, owing to such inflationary conditions prevailing in the Indian economy, the Reserve Bank of India has had to strike a tough balance between providing some monetary stimulus and restraining further price growth.

 

The fiscal deficit of India for 2012-13 is estimated to be 5.2% of gross domestic product. Fiscal performance by the states has largely followed the adjustment path recommended by the 13th Finance Commission and, although the India’s deficit remains elevated, policy actions to reduce fuel subsidies and the recently presented in FY2014 Union Budget have reaffirmed the Indian government’s commitment to fiscal consolidation. The next decade will be a crucial decade for India. If India grows at 8 to 9% per annum, it is projected to graduate to the level of a middle income country by 2025.

 

 

BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW:

 

TRANSPORTATION AND CONSTRUCTION SYSTEMS:

 

AUTOMOTIVE:

 

In 2012, the Indian automobiles industry witnessed a moderation in demand after the double-digit growth in sales recorded in the preceding three years. Weak macroeconomic sentiment coupled with subdued consumer confidence pulled down sales, particularly in the latter half of the year. Domestic automobile sales grew by 6.6% in 2012 (Jan-Nov), as compared to growth of 14-31% during 2009-2011. Whilst typically India is seen as an emerging export hub for sports utility vehicles and compact cars to Europe, South Africa and Southeast Asia due to its cost competitive manufacturing practices, in view of the current macro environment, both domestically and globally, vehicle exports are witnessing a downhill drive since mid-2012. As a result, achieving high growth rates and vehicle exports is likely to be a major challenge for the industry in 2013.

 

AUTOMOTIVE COMPONENTS:

 

As is the case with automotive sector, the automotive components sector in India is currently facing its most formidable challenge i.e. slowing demand and that too across the board.

 

Till 2011-12, the automotive components manufacturers were grappling with a rising cost structure arising from volatile currency movements, firm interest rates and inflation in other overheads including employee costs and power costs. However, since raw material cost environment was relatively benign, it allowed automotive components manufacturers to have one less worrisome variable to contend with. While there has been no significant change in character of any of the above forces during 2012-13, the biggest trepidation for automotive components makers currently springs from tepid automobile demand, dreaded to remain weak even in the near term. Decline in revenues (on YoY basis) has significantly hurt both profits as well as margins of automotive components manufacturers.

 

On the exports front, automotive components supplies to Europe had already been witnessing sluggish growth over the last few years, but steady expansion in demand for light vehicles and commercial vehicles in North America was adequately offsetting the overall exports weakness. However, starting Q2 2012-13, automotive components exports to USA also have declined significantly, particularly related to parts meant for commercial vehicles applications due to sharp contraction in demand. Automotive components suppliers to the domestic replacement market have also been experiencing moderation in growth, but this segment, typically, has been relatively more resilient if not fully immune.

 

CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT:

 

The Construction equipment sector in India is expected to witness dynamic growth in the near future owing to government investments in infrastructure coupled with growing real estate sector.

 

Robust economic development coupled with growth in infrastructure stimulates the demand for more construction equipment’s across the country.

Expansion in mining sector is one the major factors influencing the growth of the construction equipment market. Growing presence of original equipment manufacturers in India provides a major opportunity for market growth. Foreign direct investment inflow in construction has also facilitated the market to grow further.

 

Further initiatives to promote infrastructure construction and manufacturing sector policies will have a favorable impact on the market for construction equipment’s.

 

In view of the increasing focus of automotive and automotive components manufacturers towards India, the Company is making enhanced efforts to promote and develop this segment further. The Company realizing long term benefits that can be realized from this segment, has been supporting SC group in managing an automotive component manufacturing company named Munjal Kiriu Industries, a joint venture company between Hero Group, Kiriu Corporation Japan, SC, Japan and SC India. In addition, the Company has been strongly supporting investment initiatives of SC Japan in its joint venture with Kubota Japan to promote sales of Kubota tractors and farm equipment’s in India. The Company has also supported SC Japan’s initiatives in relation to its light commercial vehicles manufacturer - SML Isuzu and has managed important issues related thereto. The Company also continues to support J J Impex (Delhi) a joint venture company between Maruti Suzuki India, SC Japan and SC India. Finally, the Company is exploring trading and investment opportunities in this sector and company is hopeful that it would be able to enhance its presence in this sector.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK:

 

The Company is looking forward and seeking opportunities to grow business and volumes. Regional business reorganization and more coordination between subsidiaries of Sumitomo Corporation Asia Pte Ltd is anticipated to increase intra-regional business activity amongst SC subsidiaries. In addition there is an increasing interest of Sumitomo Corporation, Japan to promote business in India and in this regard India has been identified as a focused area. The Company is making effort to increase spectrum of its business operations and has been able to create new opportunities.

 

The Company believes that it would be able to grow its operations on account of increasing interest of global as well as other Japanese corporations in India. Further, the company has invested certain amounts of money in downstream ventures and is contemplating some more (subject to viability) and exploring opportunities for expanding trading transactions on principal basis.

 

The company is looking forward to promoting business relationship amongst South Asian region countries and expansion of business relationship between group companies located in this region. The company is also contemplating to undertake a wider perspective of services, which would allow it to be more economic and efficient and also provide for value addition to its services.

 

The company believes that it would be able to play a major role in supporting Sumitomo Corporation and its business associates in expanding their business horizon within India and in the process would be able to enrich its business portfolio with more value added functions and a stronger bottom line.
