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.

 

Infosys lost another heavy weight when B G Srinivas, a board member put in his papers. 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.

 

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.

 

Pfizer has abandoned its attempt to buy AstraZeneca for nearly $ 118 billion after the latter refused an offer of 55 pounds a share.

The project would be completed in early 2014. Le Meridien Kochi, Mfar's Kochi venture, has in the meanwhile won the award for the best hotel based five star convention hotel at the national tourism award, 2010-11.

 

The hotel project is managed by Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Inc.

He resort will be a combination of villas on the land as well as villas built on stilts in the lagoon

 

A leading Indian hotel firm, Mfar Group of Hotels will invest $150 million to develop a high end resort for well-heeled tourists in Maldives.


The Mfar Group of Hotels, which has around 700 rooms altogether in India and Oman, has acquired an island for building the resort.


"We have just acquired an island measuring six hectares in land area, and we have the permission to reclaim land up to 30 hectares. We got the land on a 15-year lease from the government," P Mohammed Ali, owner of the firm, told the Times of Oman newspaper.

 

Ali said Maldives has a great potential for hotel and tourism industry and provides opportunities for investment in the financial, infrastructure and tourism sectors.


The resort will be a combination of villas on the land as well as villas built on stilts in the lagoon.

STARWOOD TO LAUNCH THE WESTIN CHENNAI VELACHERY  

 

Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. is planning to launch its new property The Westin Chennai Velachery. The hotel is franchised under the Westin Hotels and Resorts brand. The property is owned by Dr P Mohamed Ali under the Mfar Hotels and Resorts Limited. The 215 room property is scheduled to open in July this year and will cater to leisure and business travellers.

 

Dilip Puri, Managing Director India and Regional Vice President South Asia, Starwood Asia Pacific Hotels and Resorts, said, “With the success of our new Westin properties in India we believe the brand has been well received and has the potential to be present in many more gateway cities and resort locations in India. The Westin Chennai Velachery is a significant addition to the robust portfolio of the brand. We will continue to explore opportunities to further strengthen our footprint as the brand gathers increased traction from our owners, partners and our guests.”

 

The hotel will feature four food and beverage venues, including an all day dining, a specialty restaurant, a bar and a poolside restaurant. In addition, a state of the art Westin Workout, a pool and a spacious Heavenly Spa by Westin will also be available. With over 12,600 square feet of refined meeting and function space, high speed internet access and sophisticated audio visual technology, the hotel will offer facilities for the corporate travellers as well.

 

Vasant Prabhu, Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, said, “India remains an under-supplied market as far as hotels are concerned and Starwood sees huge potential and growth opportunity in the country.  Demand for high-end lodging in India is expected to continue to exceed current supply. The country is rapidly expanding its infrastructure, especially in its second and third tier cities and tourism is estimated to grow substantially. These are fertile conditions for the growth of all of our world-class brands.”

 

Mfar Hotels and Resorts own the Le Meridien Kochi which is managed by Starwood. “After a successful partnership for the Le Meridien Kochi, we are delighted to partner with Starwood Hotels and Resorts for our second hospitality project The Westin Chennai Velachery. We are   extremely excited and will continue to look at opportunities for new projects in hospitality both in domestic and international markets with Starwood Hotels and Resorts,” said Dr P Mohamed Ali, Managing Director Mfar Hotels and Resorts.
