INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

N E W S

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.

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.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

They reported total revenue including other income of Rs.155350.000 Millions, an increase of 5.7% compared to FY 2013. The increase was driven by higher zinc sales volume and premium supported by rupee depreciation, partially offset by lower metal prices. The Company achieved profit before depreciation, interest and tax (PBDIT) of Rs.87990.000 Millions in FY 2014, up 3.6%, benefiting from higher integrated metal volumes and rupee depreciation, partially offset by lower metal prices.

 

Integrated refined zinc production this year was 742,975 MT, compared to 659,971 MT in FY 2013, an increase of 13%. The increase was due to improved operational efficiencies and higher roaster availability at their smelters. The total refined zinc production was 749,167 MT in FY 2014, compared to 676,921 MT in FY 2013.

 

They increased their integrated refined lead and saleable silver production, which are the highest ever at 117,763 MT and 301 MT – up 10% and 4% – respectively. Production of refined lead was helped by improved utilisation of smelter capacity. The increase in integrated silver metal production was mainly due to higher ore production during the fiscal, partly offset by temporarily lower grades especially in Sindesar Khurd mine. Total refined lead production was 129,858 MT and total silver production was 388 MT, up 4% and down 5%, respectively.

 

Their total power generation in FY 2014 was 3,471 million units, up 5% from FY 2013. Their wind power generation was down 12% at 448 million units, compared to that in FY 2013.

 

 

EXPLORATION

 

Their future growth is contingent upon the success of their mineral exploration program. They are constantly doing exploration at their existing mines as well as have an active greenfield exploration strategy to add new tenements. They have added 26.1 million MT to their reserve and resource this year, prior to a depletion of 9.3 million MT during the period. In the same vein, their contained gross zinc-lead metal has increased by 1.1 million MT, prior to a depletion of 0.9 million MT during the period. Total reserve and resource, on March 31, 2014, were 365.1 million MT containing 35.2 million MT of zinc-lead metal and 926 million ounces of silver. Their expenditure in exploration was the highest ever this year.

 

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

The Company reported record profits of Rs.69050.000 Millions for the year, flat from the previous year. The positive impact of higher EBITDA was partly offset by higher depreciation, lower other income and higher tax during the year.

 

 

PROJECTS

 

The Kayad and Rampura Agucha underground mine projects commenced commercial production during the year and are now ramping up well. Sindesar Khurd expansion project is ahead of schedule.
