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.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW 2012-13

 

Overall Income of the Company for the year 2012-13 was recorded at Rs. 12065.488 Millions as compared to previous year income of Rs.11060.015 Millions showing an increase of 9.09% compared to previous year. This has resulted in an increase in PBIDT for the year which stood at Rs.1588.161 Millions compared to Rs. 1458.689 Millions in the previous year. In spite of an increase in finance cost, after suitable provision for depreciation and amortization expenses, PBT for the year was Rs.253.326 Millions compared to Rs. 216.990 Millions in the previous year. This showed a marginal growth. However, after making a provision of Rs. 48.884 Millions for tax and tax adjustments for the year; the net profit (PAT) for the year was Rs.204.442 Millions as compared to Rs.96.017 Millions in the previous year.

 

 

INVESTMENT/DIVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARY/ JOINT VENTURE/ASSOCIATE COMPANIES/LLP’S:

 

AGILE ELECTRIC SUB-ASSEMBLY PRIVATE LIMITED

 

During the year the Company continued to hold its shares in Agile Electric Sub-assembly Private Limited during 2012-13. However, since the date of Balance sheet, the Board of the Company decided to sell the entire stake held by the Company in its subsidiary, Agile Electric Sub Assembly Private Limited to certain Private Equity investors in order to mobilize cash resources for its core operations. The transaction is expected to be completed shortly.

 

 

HBL AMERICA INC

 

During the year, the company has invested an amount of Rs. 2.811 Millions (USD 50,000) in its Wholly Owned Subsidiary in USA under the name HBL America Inc. and the total investment was Rs.22.399 Millions.

 

 

SCIL INFRACON PRIVATE LIMITED (SIPL)

 

During the financial year 2012-13 the performance of the company was affected by an unjustified stoppage of workmen of the company from October 2012. After exhausting all means of fair discussion and negotiations, the matter was referred to Labour Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh. The conciliation proceedings convened by the Deputy Labour Commissioner and Joint Commissioner have failed. The matter is pending before the Authorities.

 

Operations in 2012-13 reflected only first six months compared to a full year in 2011-12. Even during the first six months, severe power shortages in the state, order availability on time resulted in production and supply below break-even. As a result, financial results for the year showed a down trend. Presently there are no operations in SIPL and the Board of SIPL is considering various alternative options.

 

A legal suit was filed by Mr. K Gyan Sagar (Promoter of SCIL) and Shakti Concrete Industries Limited (SCIL) against HBL and Others in City Civil Court, Hyderabad for an arbitration petition. Claim of Petitioners is non-receipt of a consideration of Rs 188.30 Millions for shares sold by them. As informed by HBL’s legal counsel, the claim prima facie is not tenable as the petitioners are making a claim for consideration already received. The case is pending before the Honourable Court.

 

 

AUTOTEC SYSTEMS PRIVATE LIMITED

 

During the year, the company disinvested its shareholding of 171216 shares in Autotec Systems Private Limited (ATS), Bangalore, bought back by its (ATS) promoters.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANLAYSIS

 

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY FY 13

 

Total Income has grown to Rs. 12060.000 Millions in FY 13, Versus Rs. 11060.000 Millions in FY 12, and Rs 10060.000 Millions in FY 11. Profit after tax was Rs. 204.000 Millions in FY 13, Versus Rs. 96.000 Millions in FY 12, and Rs. 164.500 Millions in FY 11.

 

 

LEAD BATTERIES

 

·         Telecom sector demand has increased due to need for essential replacements at cellular towers.

·         Export demand has increased and is promising for thin plate pure lead batteries, which are only made by very few companies globally.

·         Approval from Indian Navy has been obtained for Submarine Propulsion batteries.

 

 

RAILWAY SIGNALING

 

In October, 2012 HBL demonstrated to the Railway Board, a low cost, in–house developed, Train Collision Avoidance System (TCAS). This was a pioneering achievement and an example of Indian Innovation. Live trials were conducted using trains in SC Railway. The market for this will be significant but is a few years away. They believe that there are overseas markets for several of HBL’s products in Rail Signaling, because these products comply with European Standards.

 

 

SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS

 

·         Agricultural water pumps are being promoted by many states as a solution to inadequate grid supply. HBL is a leader in this business in using existing AC Pumps.

 

·         Rooftop Solar Systems are becoming popular. Apart from Government projects, consumers having or planning to use, “domestic inverters” realize that adding solar panels is a good idea. HBL finds this to be a steadily growing demand.

 

 

THE NEAR FUTURE

 

The global economic situation and particularly the Indian economy did not look as bad a year ago, as they do now. Consequently, the improvement in HBL financial performance has also been slower than was expected a year ago. Nevertheless, management is convinced that progress will henceforth be much faster, unless the environment deteriorates further.

 

One measure of management’s confidence is due to the fact that the Promoters (who never sold a share) continue to acquire shares of the company, subject to the SEBI limit.

PRESS RELEASE

 

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN SUNLIGHT AND HBL POWER SYSTEMS LIMITED FOR NICKEL CADMIUM BATTERIES

 

 

SYSTEMS SUNLIGHT S.A. has a long-lasting and successful worldwide presence in the energy storage and power supply sectors, aiming at providing customized turn-key solutions. Having a robust know-how in designing and producing lead-based batteries, SUNLIGHT develops strategic partnerships with leading companies as a means of enriching its product portfolio with additional energy storage technologies.

 

In this context, SUNLIGHT has recently signed a strategic partnering agreement with HBL Power Systems Limited, one of the top global battery manufacturers, specializing among others in Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries. Based on this strategic agreement, SUNLIGHT will exclusively market a wide range of HBL manufactured SUNLIGHT Ni-Cd batteries into various countries, mainly in SE Europe and CIS.

 

“We strongly believe that this partnership will provide added value to both parties by integrating SUNLIGHT’s and HBL’s core competences in a complementary way” commented Mr. Stefanos Latinos – SUNLIGHT’s Global Products and Services Director.

 

“HBL recognizes the strength of partnering with SUNLIGHT to take advantage of lowering costs for customers while offering professional, local service capabilities to ensure total customer satisfaction – the long term future is bright for both companies” added Mr. Bob Herritty – Executive Director International Business at HBL in India.

 

Nickel-Cadmium batteries’ unique features enable them to be used in applications and environments untenable for other battery systems. They are characterized by their optimum reliability, performance, long life span and low maintenance requirements. Their key applications include fire alarm panels, emergency lighting, telecommunication, switchgear, photovoltaics, process control, UPS, generator starting, diesel locomotive cranking, aircraft / helicopter ground starting, and electro magnets.
