INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The worst is over for India’s economy with gross domestic product likely to expand 5 %to 5.5 % this year and more than 6 % in 2015, according to Moody’s Analytics. Concerns over the rupee and current account deficit are under control, said the agency. Ratings firm Crisil has forecast 6 % growth for 2014/15 up from the estimated 4.8 % for 2013/14.  Total economic growth, infrastructure bottlenecks and lack of transparency and consistency in foreign direct investment policies seem to have taken a toll on India’s attractiveness as an investment destination, says an Ernst & Young survey.  Projects with FDI component fell 16.4 % across the globe in 2012 from the previous year.  The drop in India was steeper at 21 %. State run carrier Air India is doling out free tickets to its 24000 employees, even as it expects to incur a loss of Rs 39000 mn this financial year and has a debt of Rs 350000 mn. 550000 number of jobs generated across India in 2013, a fall of 0.4 % as compared to with a year earlier. The National  Capital Region has a one-fourth share in total jobs created, according to a study by industry lobby group Assochem, Banks, real estate, automobile and telecommunications sectors are showing a rise of job creation. $ 805 mn investments by venture capital firms in India during 2013, registering a drop of about 18 % over the previous year. The Information Technology and IT-Enabled  Services Industry retained its status as the favourable venture capital investors in 2013. Pakistan has temporarily banned gold imports for the second time in six months, as it tries to stem smuggling into India. India’s import duty on gold is 10 % and curbs on purchases have dried up legal imports into what used to be the world’s biggest bullion buyers. The World Gold Council puts the amount smuggled into India at upto 200 tonnes in 2013. The Reserve Bank of India has proposed that unclaimed bank deposits estimated to be about Rs 35000 mn be used for education and awareness among depositors.  According to the plan, deposits that have not been claimed for at least 10 years will be transferred to the scheme.

THE YEAR IN RETROSPECT:

 

BACKGROUND:

 

Overall the business sentiment during the year remained extremely challenging on account of steep rise in input prices coupled with a slowdown in demand and also delay in commissioning capacities installed as a part of the on going capital expenditure.

 

The Global Business recessionary conditions continued with Europe and America showing no signs of a major recovery, impacting exports as well as realizations. A direct fallout of this on the Company was a major build up in inventory and export receivables. Interest costs also went up significantly on account of major capital expenditure undertaken in the last few years. All these factors had an impact on the Sales and Profitability. Overall it has been a difficult year for the Company.

 

Given the difficult operating conditions, the results achieved for the year ended 31st March, 2013 are considered to be satisfactory.

 

(A) SALES:

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 2012-13

 

Overview

The Global economic environment continues to be under stress in the background of recession in Europe, anaemic growth in the United States and a sharp slowdown in China and in most emerging market economies. The Euro – zone crisis continues to affect key economies in Central and Eastern Europe. On the other hand turmoil in the Middle East is causing serious economic risks – both there and elsewhere, contributing to high oil prices, constraining global growth, besides fueling inflation.

 

The Indian Economy though reasonably insulated from Global downturn continues to battle rising input costs, adverse foreign exchange situation, high current account deficit and tight credit conditions all of which have pulled down growth.

 

Business of the Company

The Company is a globally renowned player in the Pigment Industry and manufactures a wide range of Organic and Inorganic Pigments, Effect Pigments, Agro Chemicals and other products with facilities at Roha and Mahad, District Raigad, Maharashtra. The Company has also set up an ultra modern R&D Facility at Ambedvet, Amralevadi, Taluka Mulshi, District Pune, India.

 

Financial and Operational Performance

The business environment has been extremely challenging given the recessionary economic conditions leading to slowdown in global economic growth. Revenues have been under pressure on account of low demand and unfavourable market conditions.

 

Profits were also under tremendous pressure on account of steep rise in input costs on account of the cascading effect of high inflation owing to a number of factors and increase in interest costs on account of ongoing capital expenditure coupled with delay in commissioning and standardization of new capacities. As a result the Company could not achieve benefits of economies of scale. Of the total sales revenue of Rs. 7802 Million achieved during the year, 39% is contributed by export of Pigments.

 

The Company’s overseas Subsidiaries viz. Sudarshan Europe BV, Sudarshan North America, Inc., step down Subsidiary of Sudarshan, India and Indian Subsidiary, Prescient Color Limited have posted improved results in the year as can be seen from the Company’s Consolidated Financial Results. The operations of the Company’s Representative Office in China have also been revamped to focus on furthering its interests in the Asia Pacific region.

 

The certification of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and OHSAS –ISO 18001 from BVQI is a testimony to the Company’s commitment towards quality, safety and sustainable environment friendly approach. The Roha and Mahad factories of the Company have received British Five Star Rating which is a testimony to strenuous efforts taken by the Company to achieve operational excellence in Environment Health and Safety. The Company has also well established R & D laboratories recognized by Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR). Also, their Labs are ISO 17025:2001 certified by National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL), Government of India. The Ministry of Science and Technology, New Delhi, acting on behalf of Government of India has recognised the Company’s in house R & D Units at Roha, District Raigad and Ambadvet, Amralevadi, Taluka Mulshi, District Pune for a further period of 4 years i.e. upto 31st March, 2016.

 

Segmental Overview

In accordance with Accounting Standard -17, the Company has two reportable business segments, Pigments and Agro Chemicals.

 

The pigment business of the Company mainly comprises manufacturing of High Performance Pigments and Commodity

Pigments apart from customized pigments for niche segments catering to domestic and international customers as also manufacture of Effect Pigments for cosmetics, coating applications etc.

 

Agro Chemical business of the Company consists primarily of Products which are generic in nature.

 

Segment I – Pigments

 

Industry Structure and Developments

 

The Pigment Industry worldwide is one of the dominant industries with collective revenues of over USD 5 billion. The growth of the Pigment Industry has more or less moved in tandem with the growth of Global economy. Growth in per capita income leading to growth in per capita spending fuels demand for Pigments ranging from paints to plastics to polymer, ink to cosmetics and more, encompassing every sphere of life.

 

The Company is one of the largest domestic manufacturers of Pigments in India with a 30% market share. The Pigment Division manufactures a wide range of Organic, Inorganic and Effect Pigments catering to domestic and

export markets mainly for paint, inks, plastics, cosmetics, fashion accessories and automobiles as the user industries. The Company’s Pigments are exported to most of the discerning markets in Europe, America and Asia. The manufacturing activity is carried out at Roha and Mahad factories with R&D facilities at Ambadvet, Amralevadi, Taluka Mulshi, District Pune.

 

There is an excess capacity for the manufacture of commodity pigments worldwide. This results in intense price competition in the commodity segments market. The China factor also continues to affect the Pigment industry.

 

Performance

 

The Pigment Division increased its sales in the year 2012-13 to Rs.6966.000 millions from Rs.6647.000 millions in 2011-12, recording an increase of 5% over the previous year. Sales from exports for the year amounted to Rs.3005.000 millions as against Rs.2737.000 millions achieved during the previous year recording a growth of 10%.

 

Outlook

 

Sudarshan’s globalization plans and its already strong base in India provides a great opportunity for growth. Also

Sudarshan’s strategy of focusing on High Performance Pigments and specialized Azo Pigments provide a great future.

 

The Indian Pigment Industry has evolved from a basic Pigment producer to that of a knowledge intensive industry catering to requirement of colorants for all segments. The domestic demand for Pigments offers opportunity to the Company to improve its market share. Many new High Performance and Effect Pigments are also being launched for cosmetic and coating markets. The Company’s strategy of setting up sales offices to cater to European and North American Customers as also a representative office in China is expected to give a push to Pigment exports as the Company is better equipped to understand and comply with their preferences.

 

As a result of the slow down in Western markets, end consumers of Pigment Products are on the look out for alternative suppliers to meet their varied requirements. Sudarshan, with a wide range of High Performance Pigments as also Effect Pigments, is ideally placed to meet their requirements.

 

As a consequence of all these actions, the Company expects better results during the current year.

 

Segment II – Agro Chemicals

 

Industry Development

 

Unseasonal rains, unfavourable monsoon and drought in some parts of the country dented the prospects of the

Indian Agro Chemical Industry, impacting the consumption of Agro Chemicals. The industry has also seen a change in the Product mix owing to change in the crop pattern as also due to change in the pattern of pest formation. The average per hectare consumption of agrochemicals in India is much lower than consumption in USA, JAPAN and other developed countries. This augurs well for the Agro Chemical Industry. Rapid growth in acreage of Bt Cotton hybrids resulting in improvement in yield of cotton crop is opening new opportunities for more consumption of pesticides for the control of sucking pests and plant growth nutrients.

 

India being a tropical country, the consumption pattern of pesticides is tilted towards insecticides, accounting for around 58-60% of the crop protection chemical market. It is followed by herbicides and fungicides at 20% and 18% respectively.

 

The Crop Protection Industry witnessed growing uncertainties owing to variations in the monsoon spread in some parts of the country, change in climatic conditions, fluctuation in end product prices due to variable raw material costs as also unavailability of key raw materials from China. The Industry also witnessed further slide in the demand for conventional products.

 

Performance

 

During the year, the Agro Division achieved a turnover of Rs. 885 million as against Rs. 795 million made in the previous year thereby recording a growth of 11%. Notwithstanding the adverse business environment, the Agro Division has managed to earn reasonable profits for the year. The Company expects to improve performance by concentrating more on the sale of Technical and Bulk pesticides.

 

The Agro Chemical Industry is more than ever subjected to the vagaries of the monsoon and can impact sale of Agrochemicals. The Company is mainly into the generic segment which faces cut throat competition from other unorganized and organized players in the Agro Chemical Industry. This may lead to stagnation in revenues and bottom line.

 

Outlook

 

Notwithstanding availability constraints of key raw materials and difficult market conditions, the current year should end on a positive note.
