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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDIAN RETAIL

 

This sector is one of the fastest growing in India over the last few years. The Indian retail industry which comprises Organised and Unorganised retail, is currently estimated at US$ 520 billion approx. Last decade has evidenced high growth in this sector with a material shift towards organised retailing format. Increasing urbanisation, increase in purchasing power, favourable demographics, neuclear families, changing consumer preferences and higher aspirations are some of the factors which will continue to drive the retail consumption in India.

 

Though the global slowdown hasnt spared India, the long term fundamentals remain strong. In particular, a large, young, increasingly brand and fashion conscious population would be key growth drivers. Retail growth of 14 to 15 percent per year is expected through 2015. By 2018, the Indian retail sector is likely to grow at a CAGR of 13% to reach a size of US$ 950 billion.

 

 

MODERN RETAIL – TODAY

 

Modern retail in India has come a long way in last 10 years. In the next few years modern retail is expected to grow at a much larger pace annually in tier II and tier III cities, compared to tier I cities. It is estimated that 80% of the new mall development in the next couple of years will take place in non-metros. Organised retail penetration, currently estimated at 7.5% is expected to clock at a robust CAGR of 19-20% per anumn to reach 10% by 2018.

 

Indias Internet user base is currently third largest in the world. This, coupled with the rising consumer confidence in online retail, is driving the growth of e-commerce in the country. With a significant number of Indian consumers turning Internet users, and, eventually, online shoppers, selling through the online channel is set to redefine retail.

 

Apparel is bound to witness significant growth in the coming years, as the sector is going to attract a high proportion of the increased spend by the Indian consumer. There is a strong growth in the apparel industry as both Indian and global brands wise upto its potential. Again, the category is set to benefit from the growth of e-commerce, which is bound to provide a strong impetus to the sector in the near future.

 

 

MODERN RETAIL – CHALLENGES AHEAD

 

Though organised retail in India has experienced rapid growth, this has been achieved at a significant cost. Despite considerable investment of time and capital during the gestation period, the returns from business are a concern. High operating costs, low bargaining power with vendors and heavy discounting to improve sales have affected profits and expansion plans. Real estate costs and space availability also remain important issues. Inventory management is also a prime concern, though experienced and stable retailers have learned the trick and have been able to overcome the vagaries in the supply chain such as low fill rates, long lead times and ordering cycles and lack of process orientation which result in high inventory holding, low turns and high investment in stock. Organised retailers are also continuing their efforts to keep costs under check by adopting cost rationalisation initiatives like revenue-sharing agreements, increasing use of power-saving equipment/fit-outs to save utilities cost, amongst many other to keep the corporate costs in line with the scale of business.

 

Online shopping is also in the early stages, with e-commerce sales not more than 1 percent of total retail sales, but growth is expected as more people access the Internet.
