INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

US investment bank Goldman Sachs  has upgraded its outlook on Indian markets as it expects positive impact of the election cycle.

 

India’s economy may grow 4.7 % in the current financial year, lower than the official estimate of 4.9 %, Fitch Rating said. The global rating agency expects the economy to pick up in the next two financial years.

 

Global ratings agency Standard & Poor said increasing focus by India Inc on lowering debt is likely to improve their credit profiles.

 

Singapore (1.1 million Indian tourists in 2012), Thailand (one million), the United Arab Emirates ().98 million) and Malaysia ().82 million) emerged as the preferred holidays hotspots for Indians. The total figure is expected to increase to 1.93 million by 2017, according to the latest Eurmonitor international report.

 

There is a $29.34 bn outward foreign direct investment by domestic companies between April and January of 2013/14 which has seen some signs of recovery according to a Care Ratings report.

 

There are 264 number of new companies being set up every day on average during 2014. Most of them are registered in Mumbai. India had 1.38 million registered companies at the end of January, 2014.

 

Twitter like messaging service Weibo Corporation has filed to raise $ 500 million via a US initial public offering. Alibaba, which owns a stake in Weibo is expected to raise about $ 15 billion New York this year in the highest profile Internet IPO since Facebook’s in 2012.

 

Bharti Airtel has raised Rs.2,453.2 crore (350 million Swiss Francs) by selling six-year bonds at a coupon rate of three per cent and maturing in 2020. This is the largest ever bond offering by an Indian company in Swiss Francs. Bharat Petroleum Corporation raised 175 million Swiss Francs by selling five year bonds at 2.98 % coupon rate in February.

 

Indian Oil Corporation plans to invest Rs 7650 crore in setting up a petrochemical complex at its almost complete Paradip refinery in Odhisha in three to four years. The company board is set to consider the setting up of a 700000 tonne per annum polypropylene plant at an estimated cost at Rs.3150 crore.

 

Global chief information officers at gathering in Bangalore in April to meet Indian startups at an event called Tech50 Watchout for Little Eye Labs-Facebook type deals in the making.

THE MOBILE STORE SET TO DIAL FRANCHISEES IN NORTHEASTERN STATES

 

Nov 28, 2013

 

"Northeast is one of the big opportunity areas, but it's a troublesome territory to approach. We will have several franchisees and master franchisees for some of the states," he said. The retail chain currently owns 800 stores that sell multiple brand handsets with 10% on the franchise model.

 

The company's move fits well with the telecom regulator's proposed Rs 29180.000 Millions investment plan to boost voice and data coverage in the northeastern states, where connectivity is much lower than the nationalaverage. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has suggested that the government will require a large investment in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura that have an average tele-density of 40%, which reduces to 10% in villages.

 

Trai has recommended 2% discount in licence fee, charged annually for those telecom operators who cover at least 80% of the habitations with a population of 250 and subsidies for installation of solar power units at telecom towers.

 

The Essar Group-owned mobile retailer, which holds a 27% share of the modern trade mobile phone retail, is happy with its leadership position in the north, south and eastern regions of the country, but doesn't have any aggressive expansion plans in the south, which is dominated by regional players.

 

Chakravarti said over the next 12 months, the retail store is planning to upgrade around 100 of its existing retail outlets into lounges that allow the customer to try out smartphones from various brands before making a choice.

 

The move will cost the company, which gets around 93% of its sales from smartphones, around Rs 300.000 Millions which it plans to source from internal accruals.

 

The retailer is planning to add around 40 new stores a year, based on opportunities in different states and may look at various funding options through equity and debt, said Chakravarti. "We won't go in for an IPO though." It is planning to also aggressively push the sale of post-paid mobile connections, including data plans, as well as of accessories in its stories to boost footfalls, he added.

BUY DEVICES ON EMI WITHOUT CREDIT CARD FROM THE MOBILESTORE

 

Jan 20, 2014

 

NEW DELHI: Mobile phone retail chain The MobileStoretoday launched a new instalment scheme for consumers to buy devices on EMI (equated monthly installments) without a credit card across five cities in the country.

 

The personal finance option, introduced in Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Kolkata and Chennai, will allow consumers to buy smartphones by submitting their Know Your Customer (KYC) documents, The MobileStore (TMC) said in a statement. The company has partnered with Japanese company AEON Credit Service India to introduce this solution in order to target the base of consumers without a credit card.

 

"EMI schemes have always played a crucial role in making high-end smartphones affordable for the Indian consumers. However, such schemes have only been restricted to credit card holders," The MobileStore CEO Himanshu Chakrawarti said.

 

There are 18-19 million credit card holders in the country and the numbers are growing at a slow pace."An EMI solution without a credit card opens-up the smartphone market to a significantly larger group of consumers, who do not own a credit card," he added.

 

 

THE MOBILESTORE LOOKS FOR PROFIT THIS YEAR

 

Mumbai June 14, 2012

 

 

More than five years after it launched its first outlet, Essar Group’s handset retail chain, The Mobile Store, expects to record operating profits in the current financial year.

 

Of late, the chain has expanded through shop-in-shops, franchisees and its e-commerce site, Chief Executive Officer Himanshu Chakrawarti told Business Standard.

 

Of its 1,200-odd outlets, the chain has, in the last two years, closed 300 stores that recorded losses. Recently, the chain had also shut its consumer durable chain The Electronic Store. “All loss-making stores have been shut to have sustainable business and provide profitability to shareholders. Now, nearly 90 per cent of our stores are profitable, while the rest are on track to becoming profitable,” Chakrawarti said, adding, “We have grown six to seven per cent in 2011-12, despite closing 30 per cent of our stores. We expect growth of 30-35 per cent in 2012-13.”

 

When it launched the venture in early 2007, 2,500 stores were scheduled to be opened by 2010. It had also set a revenue target of Rs 50000.000 Millions by 2010 and expected to break even within two to three years of launch.

 

However, like other retailers that rapidly opened stores earlier, it was forced to scale down operations.

 

Aditya Birla Retail, which also launched operations in 2006-07, had to shut 75 stores in 2009-10. The company recently shut 50 supermarkets to stem losses. According to sources in the company, the retailer needs at least two to three years to turn profitable.

 

Kishore Biyani’s Future Group had also scaled down operations of Ezone, its consumer durables chain. The stores, earlier present in 18 cities, were later limited to only six major cities.

 

Chakrawarti said growth in smartphone sales had aided modern retailers such as The MobileStore. “While the overall mobile market has remained constant, smartphone sales have grown from 0.5 million a year ago to 1.7 million handsets,” he said.

 

Annual mobile phone sales in India stand at about 13 million. While The MobileStore has a share of 33 per cent in total sales, BK Modi’s Spice Hotspot and South-based Univercell have a share of 20-25 per cent each.

 

Naimish Dave, director at OC and C Strategy Consultants, said, “Since the category is very price-driven, it makes sense to rationalise stores, cut costs and focus on alternatives to push sales….Volumes give players better bargaining power with suppliers, but that is limited play. They have to watch out for costs.”

 

Chakrawarti said The MobileStore had seen a 15 per cent rise in average selling prices after it introduced the equated monthly instalment (EMI) scheme in August 2011. The chain has tied up with banks such as State Bank of India and HDFC, waived processing fees and carried out a co-marketing exercise with brands to boost EMI-backed transactions.

 

It has also expanded through shop-in-shops, or small counters within large stores, of Raheja-owned Hypercity and is currently putting up such shops in Tata-owned Landmark, Future Group-partnered Staples and hypermarket chain Total, Chakrawarti said. “Shop-in-shops are profitable within the first month of their operations,” he added.

 

The company’s e-commerce site had also aided sales, and it was now supplying products to a number of other online companies, he added.

 

“We are as aggressive as earlier, but the model is different. Instead of doing everything ourselves, we have a de-risked and co-opted model," he said, adding, “We will open our own stores only in well-known locations in cities.”
