INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

NEWS

 

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.

China has told its state-owned enterprises to sever links with American consulting firms after the United States charged five Chinese military officers with hacking US companies.

NEW MANUFACTURING FACILITY AT NALAGARH, HIMACHAL PRADESH

 

Most of the metallic card clothing is now being manufactured at the Nalagarh factory. Finishing operations of tops are also under development at Nalagarh. Dispatch of metallic card clothing from Nalagarh factory increased during the year from Rs.10.17 crore in the previous year to Rs.235.000 millions in the current year.

 

REALTY

 

Out of 95,642 sq. ft. owned by the Company in ICC Devi Gaurav IT Park in Pimpri, Pune only 27,621 sq. ft. remained unoccupied. During the year, the entire commercial building at Powai, Mumbai was fully occupied.

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

 

ICC International Agencies Limited (ICCIAL) recorded an increase in income of 34.7% from Rs.30.556 millions in the previous year to Rs.41.164 millions in the current year.

Shivraj Sugar and Allied Products Private Limited, subsidiary of the Company, has not started operations as yet.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Industry Structure and Developments

 

The demand for card clothing in the re-clothing market is entirely dependent on the current installed capacity of carding machines and the growth in the industry is dependent on the rate of new carding machines, which are installed by spinning mills.

 

The installed base of carding machines in India is 29,711 cards of which 1783 are slow speed cards, 24,363 are high production cards and 3565 are super production cards. This generates an annual demand of 8319 sets of card clothing.

 

The bulk of the carding machines in India fall within the high production and super production categories, as it has become no longer economical to be able to operate slow production cards.

 

The world installed base of carding machines (excluding India) is 148,777 and the annual demand for card clothing worldwide (excluding India) is 49,592.

 

The annual increase in the rate of growth of demand for card clothing is approximately 2% per annum. The bulk of this increase is expected to be in the super production category.

 

Card clothing is supplied with new carding machines and later in the replacement market, once the carding machine needs to be re-clothed.

 

The major European manufacturers of carding machines are Rieter and Trutzschler and major Indian manufacturers are Lakshmi Machine Works (LMW) and Trutzschler India. There are a myriad manufacturers of carding machines in China, although the international demand for those carding machines are limited by virtue of their inability to match the technology of European and Indian manufacturers.

 

Rieter carding machines are 60î wide. Rieter, which owns Graf, supplies all its carding machines with Graf card clothing.

 

The 60î card is most favoured by spinning mills, which process [fine cotton]. Trutzschler GmbH manufactures new cards with 50.4î width. Trutzschler cards are equipped with Trutzschler card clothing and are favoured by spinning mills processing coarse and medium counts of cotton. Both European card makers have increased the size of the cylinder diameter to increase productivity, differentiate their products from other card makers, who still manufacture carding machines of 40î and restrict other card clothing manufactures from supplying card clothing for those machines in the reclothing market.

 

Between the two major Indian carding machine manufacturers, LMW is more well established, has a larger installed capacity and installed base and is perceived as a value for money alternative. LMW also has the advantage of being able to provide a ěbale to yarnî solution for new spinning mills. Both LMW and Trutzschler manufacture 40' width card. LMW carding machines are clothed with Lakshmi Card Clothing (LCC), although of late, LMW has suggested potential customers could use Bekaert Card Clothing (BCS) manufactured partly in China and partly in India with the supply of the carding machine. Trutzschler India equips its carding machines with card clothing manufactured by Trutzschler in India.

 

As far as the re-clothing market is concerned, Graf and Trutzschler are generally favoured for the first re-clothing by spinning mills, which have imported cards from Rieter or Trutzschler Germany. However, with the weakening of the Rupee, many spinning mills are looking for cost effective solutions even for the first re-clothing.

 

LCC, BCS and ICC share the market for re-clothing of high production manufactured by LMW and Trutzschler India and some imported super production cards. These three manufacturers have been able to hold their share in this area by virtue of providing prompt service, quicker delivery and acceptable quality at reasonable prices.

 

Operations

 

Sale of the Company's card clothing in the domestic market for short staple increased by 29 percent as the Company increased its share in the high production and super production market through a concerted effort of targeting spinning mills which would be amenable to use the Company's products.

 

Sale in export markets improved by 11.5 percent as the Company assiduously pursued enquiries in the key target overseas markets. Export sales also improved as a result of a favourable exchange rate against the US Dollar and Euro.

 

Sales of card clothing for long staple fibre improved by 7.5 percent benefitting from improved trading conditions for carpet manufacturers, where the Company makes direct sales to customers. The Company continued to adopt a cautious policy on sales of its products in there generated fibre segment as it perceived recovery of outstanding dues, would be a problem in a difficult trading environment .

 

The Company’s new plant at Nalagarh continued to despatch, Accura carriers, metallic card clothing for long staple fibre' and most varieties of metallic wires for short staple fibre Total despatches from Nalagarh increased by 111 percent compared to the last financial year as the process of knowledge transfer continues from the plant in Pimpri to Nalagarh.

 

The Company has already rented out one entire floor and part of another floor of the ICC Devi Gaurav Technology Park (ICC DGTP) in which the Company owns 94,000 sq. ft. The Company’s property on Saki Vihar Road, Mumbai was fully let on leave and licence throughout the last financial year.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Indian spinning industry is currently benefitting from stable cotton prices due to are as on able cotton harvest from November 2013 onwards. With many Chinese spinning mills exiting certain medium counts due to their lack of competitiveness, and a favourable exchange rate, Indian cotton spinning mills will continue to enjoy a favourable trading environment.

 

The prospect of a below average monsoon may dampen the current buoyancy in the spinning industry if the price of cotton increases without a corresponding increase in yarn prices. This may affect the demand for card clothing as spinning mills conserve resources to purchase cotton.

 

The Company intends to continue to focus its attention in the financial year 2014-2015 on transferring all metallic manufacturing to its plant at Nalagarh combined with improvements in plant efficiency. In Pimpri, there will be a thrust on cost and inventory reduction and improvements in productivity. The Company will continue to target mills with the latest generation of carding machines. The training of the engineers at its plant in Nalagarh to complete the knowledge transfer from Pimpri to Nalagarh will also be re-doubled.

 

The balance area of 27, 621 sq. ft. in IT Park, Pimpri will be given on leave and licence in the financial year 2014-2015.
