INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit for the fiscal third quarter ended September 2013 narrowed to $4.2 billion or 0.9 % of the gross domestic product from $31.9 billion or 6.5 % of GDP a year earlier, thanks to a pick-up in exports and moderation in gold imports. Manufacturing activity and new orders in India showed their strongest growth in a year in February. The news comes as a relief after data showed Asia’s third largest economy grew by a slower-than-expected 4.7 % annually in the three months through December. The HSBC Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index which gauges the business activity of India’s factories but not its’ utilities, rose to 52.5 in February, its highest in a year from 51.4 in January. Overall new orders for factory goods which rose to a one-year high of 54.9 contributed to the surge. China has emerged as India’s biggest trading partner in the current financial year replacing the United Arab Emirates and pushing it to the third spot. India-China trade has reached $49.5 billion with a 8.7 % share in India’s total trade. The US comes second at $46 billion with 8.1 % share during the first nine months of the current financial year.

 

The Reserve Bank of India has granted an additional nine months to the public to exchange currency notes printed before 2005 including Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denominations, pushing the deadline to January 1, 2015. A day before dates for the Lok Sabha polls were announced, the government decided to hike interest rates on fixed deposit schemes offered by post offices up to 0.2 per cent. The new rates will be effective April, 1. The Supreme Court will resume hearing on March, 11 Nokia’s appeal against a ruling over transferring ownership of its local mobile phones plant which is the subject of a tax dispute to Microsoft Corp.

 

In the last days of the current Government, another scam has surfaced. The defence ministry has ordered a probe into Hindustan Aeronautics Limited’s contracts from Britain’s Rolls-Royce Holdings worth at least $ 1.2 billion. The Central Bureau of Investigation will look into allegations that over $80 million was paid in kickbacks in a deal signed in 2011. India has asked Boeing Co. to find a solution for problems with state-owned Air India’s 787 Dreamliners. The aircraft has experienced a series of malfunctions since its debut in 2011.

GROSS SALES, SERVICES AND OTHER INCOME:

 

The gross sales from the operations and other income for the year was at Rs.23480.000 Millions as against Rs.28000.000 Millions in the previous year.

 

Revenues from exports went down at Rs.1518.300 Millions during the year as against Rs.2169.500 Millions in the previous year.

 

Loss for the year is reduced to Rs.394.600 Millions as against loss of Rs.935.000 Millions in the previous year.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

 

GENERAL:

The year that is past will be remembered for the economic and political turmoil that engulfed most parts of the world. It will be remembered as a year that witnessed the economic decline of Europe and America and a sluggish performance by the BRIC nations which fell short of all optimistic predictions.

 

In India, rising fiscal deficits, adverse trade balance and continued inflation resulted in high interest rates and weakening of the Rupee. Uncertain political environment resulting in policy and regulatory delays in implementing reforms slowed down the economic growth. The industrial growth was at 0.9% during April-February 2013, even lower than 3.3% recorded during April-February 2008-09 (the year of financial crisis). In FY 13manufacturing grew at 1%, mining industry recorded a fall of 2.6% while the auto industry grew only by 3%.

 

In such an environment, the Company too witnessed a slowdown with its turnover and other income dropping to Rs.23480.000 Millions in the year as against Rs.28000.000 Millions in the previous year.

 

 

SPECIALTY STEEL DIVISION:

Subject is predominantly engaged in the business of special and alloy steel and stainless steel long products that feed into the auto components, engineering, defense and fasteners industries. The fortunes of this business are closely linked with the availability and prices of raw-materials, growth of the user industries and overall growth of the economy.

 

The utilization of steelmaking capacity at the Steel Plant at Ginigera continued to remain low for the year due to the paucity of iron ore supplies and steep increase in iron ore prices resulting from the continued partial ban on mining operations and transportation of iron ore in the state of Karnataka by the Hon’ble Supreme Court since July- August 2011. The resulting loss of production contributed mainly to the losses incurred by the Company during the year.

 

 

IRON ORE:

As per the Order by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in July-August

2011, a total of 166 iron ore mines were closed. After exhaustive investigations under the aegis of a committee appointed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the Court permitted re-opening of only 18 ‘Category A’ mines on 3rd September 2012 subject to the conditions laid down by the Court. By the end of March 2013, only 9 mines resumed mining operations of which one mine had to be closed down. There was thus only a marginal improvement in the availability of iron ore during the year under review.

 

At the beginning of the Financial Year 2012-13, it was expected that the balance ‘Category A’ and ‘Category B’ mines would reopen by the first half of 2012. Unfortunately, this did not happen and it was only in April 2013 that the Hon’ble Supreme Court permitted re-opening of the balance of ‘Category A’ and ‘Category B’ mines subject to specified conditions. The Court also simultaneously directed termination of mining leases of 49 ‘Category C mines’. The opening of the balance ‘Category A’ and ‘Category B’ mines will be a gradual process as each of the mines has to first obtain various approvals and implement a Reclamation and Rehabilitation Plan as approved by the competent authority.

 

The Hon’ble Supreme Court’s Order referred above, also lifted the ban on allocation of new mining leases by Government of Karnataka coupled with termination of leases for the 49 ‘Category C’ mines. These iron ore mines will now be available for new allotment to the steel plants and is expected to help them get mining leases for captive requirements.

 

With limited availability of high grade iron ore in the Supreme Court mandated e-auctions, the price of iron ore continued to remain high and the quality of available iron ore was also poor. The situation for subject was even more challenging as it can only use iron ore lumps which are in short supply and the prices of which too were much higher than iron ore fines. The Company’s need to reduce its dependence on iron ore lumps fructified in the second half of the year under report with the commissioning of the Sinter Plant which uses iron ore fines. Thus the company’s input cost for iron ore used in making steel will be lower during the year in progress.

 

 

INPUT PRICES:

On account of the recessionary conditions and slump in the industrial activity in Europe and lackluster growth in the United States of America, the commodity prices in general were subdued, crude oil prices moved down, coking coal prices softened, prices of nickel, scrap and other imported input commodities also declined. However, due to the depreciation of the Indian Rupee during the year, the benefits on account of reduced prices have partially been negated. In India, however, the prices of Ferrochrome high carbon, one of the major inputs for alloy and stainless steel production went up by about 11% during the year due to power cuts in the States of Orissa and Andhra Pradesh, where the manufacturing facilities of this input are located.

 

The Steel industry in India is largely dependent on imports of key inputs like coking coal, metallurgical coke, scrap, nickel and molybdenum. The prices of these inputs continue to remain volatile on the basis of global demand and supply factors and also, the highly volatile Rupee-Dollar exchange rate.

 

 

DEMAND:

The market for special carbon and alloy steel is expected to remain positive in the long run with the automobile sector expected to pick up momentum. Moreover, India is emerging as a major automobile hub for exports of vehicles as well as components. Emphasis on the development of the infrastructure segment by the Government is also likely to push up the demand for commercial vehicles.

 

 The demand for bright bars and wires will increase considerably with the growth in automobile and engineering sectors and in view of this, subject entered into a Joint Venture with Sumitomo

Corporation, Japan to increase the output of bright bars and wires for which, the Company will supply larger quantities of wire rods and bars.

 

Subject expects prices of steel products to continue to be under pressure on account of the expansion in capacities by existing players, entry of new players in the alloy steel market and cheaper imports. The import duties on special and alloy steel are presently only at 5% and imports from the countries under the free trade agreement attract even a lower rate of 3% resulting in increased imports. Countries like China, Korea, Japan, Germany and France are stepping up their exports of steels to India to offset lower demand in other Asian and European countries. The sales of CHQ special steel wire rods were severely affected as the said segment was dominated by cheaper imports and stiff competition from domestic players.

 

The Indian auto industry grew by only 3% during the year as compared to 12% in the previous year. Several factors including high inflation, firm interest rates and rising fuel prices had a dampening effect on demand for automobiles. The growth rate of the sector however, is expected to improve in the year in progress to 6% to 8% and 9% to 11% in the long run. The growth of two-wheelers and low capacity vehicles (LCVs) is expected to grow rapidly.

 

The business of stainless steel long products largely depends on international markets. The markets in Europe and the USA are yet to emerge out of the recessionary conditions of the year 2008-09. This resulted in reduced off-take of stainless steel wire rods and bars by Indian producers manufacturing Bright Bars and Wires for export. Stiff competition from Indian producers as well as from international mills has put pressure on prices.

 

The demand for stainless steel is expected to grow at 6% to 8% per annum in the next five years. The demand for stainless steel in oil and gas sector has already revived. The investment made by subject in hardening, tempering and quenching facilities will provide better opportunities to cater to this market. The increase in demand for stainless steel may shoot up the present low nickel prices and slow-down the growth. The Company has developed new grades of wire rods and bars to widen its customer base.

 

The strategy for alloy and stainless steel business is to increase sale of high revenue contributing products, value added products and develop new products. The Company will widen its distribution network and tie up with automobile manufacturers who can take advantage of the Company being a one-stop-shop.

 

Exports of subject’s steel products were lower mainly on account of weak demand for the Company’s stainless steel long products in almost all the world markets due to global economic downturn and fluctuating Rupee-Dollar rate. Increase in import duty by Sri Lanka, the trade restrictions imposed by Argentina, dollar sales embargo with Iran, anti-dumping duties levied by the USA and European countries have reduced the exports of auto industry. Further, reduction in export incentives has brought down the export of steel and automobiles. The Government must come out with WTO compliant scheme and provide a level playing field to the exporters in the world market.

 

 

INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY DIVISION:

The division saw a decline in the turnover for the year.

Several major projects, particularly in the steel sector, did not pick up momentum during the year and also some customers delayed their committed delivery schedule requirements. Expected capital investments in the ferrous and non-ferrous sector were deferred, resulting in lower order booking for the division. At the end of the year, the division has orders aggregating to Rs.3860.000 Millions to be executed over FY 2013-14 and FY 2014-15.

 

Lower demand is likely to adversely affect the margins of the division. However the division initiated a number of cost reduction measures, including design changes so as to reduce input and operating costs. A 10% reduction in the costs has already been achieved during the year through improved design and better sourcing. These efforts will rigorously continue during the year in progress.

 

Infrastructure work on the land acquired at Sinnar for expansion of the Industrial Machinery division is in progress and production is expected to commence in a phased manner during the year in progress.

 

 

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS:

Adequate systems for internal controls provide assurances on the efficiency of operations, security of assets, statutory compliances, appropriate authorization, reporting and recording of transactions. The management audit prepares regular reports on the review of the systems and procedures. The scope of the audit activity is broadly guided by the annual audit plan approved by the Audit Committee of Directors. Audit reports are regularly reviewed by the top management and corrective measures are taken.

 

 

AWARDS:

Subject has for the second time, received SKF’s Supplier Excellence Award 2012 for the quality of the wires and wire rods for tapered roller bearings. The earlier award was received in 2009. Bajaj Auto Limited awarded subject its Quality Silver Award for the year 2012. Somic SF Components Ltd. too gave an award for quality and delivery.

 

Subject’s Steel Plant at Ginigera, Karnataka received safety awards instituted by the Government of Karnataka. These include first prize for ‘Best Worker in Large Scale Industry’ category for adopting Best Safe Practices in the year 2012.

NOTES:

1.     Management's response to the qualifications / observations of the auditors on the financial statements for the year ended 31.03.2013 :

 

a.     Advances due from and investments made in Vidyavihar Containers Limited (VCL), aggregating Rs.763.700 Millions as at 31st March 2013 remains same as at 31st Dec. 2013. The Company, barring unforeseen circumstances, relies upon the estimation of future realizable values of the financial assets of VCL to recover its Exposures;

 

b.    Investments made in Mukand Global Finance Limited (MGFL), aggregating Rs.262.500 Millions as at 31st March 2013 remains same as at 31st Dec. 2013. The recovery out of this investment is dependent upon realization of the financial assets that MGFL stands invested into at the close of the year and future earnings from the business activities of MGFL. The management considers the 'Exposure' to be 'Good' and adequately covered. Any ultimate shortfall if any, in the realization is not determinable at present.

 

c.     The investments in and debts / advances due from Bombay Forgings Limited (BFL), which stood at Rs.765.100 Millions as at 31.03.2013 has increased to Rs.854.700 Millions as at 31.12.2013 due to current supplies on credit. Recovery towards these supplies will be made by 31st March 2014. The management, considering its long term view on the 'Exposures' relies upon the valuation of unencumbered fixed assets of BFL as at 31st March, 2013 which is at Rs.718.900 Millions, value of current assets and future earnings from the ongoing business of BFL. The management considers the balance 'Exposures' to be 'Good' at the close of the year and adequately covered and barring unforeseen circumstances expects full realisability of the same in future.

 

d.    Debts / advances recoverable from Stainless India Limited (SIL), which aggregated Rs.141.100 Millions as at 31st March 2013, has reduced to Rs.777 Lakhs as at 31.12.2013. The management relies upon the proceeds from disposal of Land and Building of SIL as at 31.03.2013. The management considers the balance 'Exposures' to be 'Good' at the close of the quarter and adequately covered and barring unforeseen circumstances expects full realisability of the same in future.

 

e.     The Company in previous years executed road construction projects in the state of Uttar Pradesh with National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) along with Centrodorstroy (CDS), Russia. The exposure on this account as at 31.03.2013 aggregated Rs.1416.800 Millions (represented by contracts in progress Rs.800.200 Lakhs and trade dues of Rs.616.600 Millions) and is now at Rs.1369.800 Millions as at 31.12.2013 (represented by contracts in progress Rs.753.800 Millions and trade dues of Rs.616.000 Millions). Although the outcome of the Road Construction activity cannot be estimated with reliability at present, it is the opinion of the management that in view of the substantially large claims aggregating Rs.1617.300 Millions as at 31.12.2013 (amount as at 31.03.2013 Rs.1643.300 Millions) of CDS for incremental jobs executed, escalations and time over-runs to be settled progressively over a period of 2 to 3 years, losses currently expected are already recognized till the close of the Quarter.

 

2.     Other income includes surplus amounting to Rs.184.400 Millions on sale of residential premises.

 

3.     Net Exceptional Expenditure of Rs.108.600 Millions represents :

 

a.     Adhoc amount payable to CDR Lenders amounting to Rs.31.1000 Millions: During the quarter ended 30th June 2013, the Company arrived at settlement with the Corporate Debt Restructuring members for an adhoc amount of Rs.249.000 Millions payable in monthly installments till the maturity of the loans without any further interest thereon. This settlement was arrived at to compensate the Lenders for the lower interest charged by them during the period FY 2002-03 to FY 2011-12.
