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.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

Lubricants Business

 

The Company faced tough year in 2012 due to economic slowdown as reflected in macroeconomic GDP indicators.

 

Year 2012 was also tough from the perspective of internal turbulence that the Company faced due to Labour Union strike leading to severe supply shortage and impacting overall performance. Overall Sales volume registered a de-growth of 7%. The de-growth was across the verticals barring Workshop Segment which registered a volume growth of 23%. Sales revenues registering a de-growth of over 1% over the previous year. Proactive Pricing and efficient cost management has helped to largely manage slide in sales revenue.

 

The Company has continued to pursue its long term growth strategy and have taken new initiatives to expand its consumer base through on ground campaigns, retailer / mechanic contact programs and innovative sales and trade promotions.

 

The Company continues to support TOTAL ELITE CLUB programme.

 

The Company completed in year 2012 an important strategic survey to set clear 5 year strategic direction for growth.

 

During the Year, the Company continued to focus on a wide array of Marketing activities aimed at strengthening the Brand position. The Company has decided to continue its association with Bollywood celebrity, Mr. Shahid Kapoor for endorsing brand ELF MOTO. To improve the brand recall in MCO and PCMO segment the Company has continued to invest in media campaigns in 2012. In order to build Brand awareness of Total, the Company also conducted new initiative ‘Total Quartz Safety Run’. This initiative helped the Company in positioning itself as a responsible corporate citizen. The Company has commissioned 400 plus Moto Zones and 70 Rapid Auto Service, a branded workshop initiative developed to increase consumer contact points for the flagship brands.

 

The Company continued its strategic intent to increase presence of Brand TOTAL in its overall portfolio of product by launching Mahindra Recommended TRACTAGRI XEP MKM Tractor engine oil. Brand association with Mahindra Tractors would clearly help them in long term positioning of Tractagri as a premium Tractor Engine Oil. The Company has entered into tie-up with Mahindra Tractors for supply of Genuine Oil.

 

The Company also has got into strategic tie-up with Mahindra Group to sponsor Mahindra Racing team. Mahindra Racing is the first Indian Company to participate in prestigious motorsports event like MotoGP.

 

The Company continued building and strengthening its relationships with OEMs existing and future partners. The Company has been rewarded 3rd time in a row from Maruti Suzuki ‘Overall Silver Award’ award in 2012 during their Vendor conference, Tata Motors award for Excellence in performance in June 2012 and Business Partner of Year award in April 2012.

 

In order to bring better alignment and focus in the way of working, the Company undertook an organization restructuring exercise with formation of three verticals’ After Market Distributors, Industrial Business, and OEM’ FF and SF

 

The year 2012 has been a challenging year for the Lubricant Industry. Slump in Automotive Industry growth, slowdown in Industrial Activity and liquidity crunch have had a negative impact on the growth of Lube Industry.

 

To improve the productivity of vehicles and to reduce the servicing costs for their consumers, OEMs are upgrading the specifications of recommended products. This has lead to increased drain intervals especially in CVs segment which has tapered the overall growth in lube consumption. Cars and 2 Wheeler OEMs are moving rapidly towards fuel economy products, as is evident from the change in recommendation to lower viscosity engine oils. TOTAL has developed Lubricants in Fuel Economy range covering all the segments.

 

In tractor segment the shift from dry brake to wet brake tractors continues.

 

The gradual shift of servicing from unorganized road side garages to OEM franchisee workshop continues. This channel shift is much faster in Passenger Car Segment. This has made the OEM franchisee workshop business highly competitive.

 

In the bazaar trade all major lube players fighting for the shelf space by offering innovative trade / consumer schemes to the retailers / mechanics and consumers. In industrial sector also, market has seen increased competition through discounting by GOCs to retain market share.

 

TECHNICAL CENTRE ASIA PACIFIC (TCAP)

 

TOTAL has opened a new Technical Centre for Asia Pacific (TCAP) in Mumbai, in September 2012. The TCAP will operate in four different areas: Lubricants, Special Fluids and Additives for fuels and Bitumen.

 

The key objective of TCAP is to provide value added technical support in the areas of product development, analysis, product training and field testing.

 

SPECIAL FLUIDS BUSINESS:

 

The Company achieved a total volume of 21073 MT in the year 2012. Major volume of the business came from Drilling Fluids.

 

Despite aggressive pricing from competitors, the Company was able to get the new customers.

·         Launched Channel Partner’s Loyalty programme and awarded partners with wooden plaques for their achievement in the year 2012.

·         Secured tie-up with Indofil Industries to market Banole EC.

·         Conducted Banana Growers Campaign in Tamilnadu for Banole EC

 

LPG BUSINESS

 

The Company notched the highest sales since inception, which represented a growth of 20% over 2011.

 

The Company continued to be a major player in the extremely service intensive BOOM segment and grew by 7%, despite adverse industrial situation and slowdown in the mining sector. The AutoLPG segment grew an impressive 13%, which was topped up by growth rates exceeding 20% towards the end of the year. With 14 ALDS in the works, the Company is well poised to expand its presence in this very attractive market segment. The Quantaz segment powered ahead and the 100th contract was signed during the year. It also outperformed all the other ‘core’ segments by registering a sizzling 51% growth rate. After years of underperforming the market and incessant slide in volumes, the packed segment registered a positive growth of 6%. This segment reacted positively to the structural changes being ushered in by the Government in the subsidized LPG segment and the Company expects it to be the growth engine for the years to come.

 

The Company also commenced Propane marketing during the year, which was another major landmark.

 

The Company notched a sizzling growth of 97% in the commodity segment. This segment is characterized by volatile swing in volumes, but the relationships built with customers should stand the Company in good position in the days to come.

 

The Company’s Terminal at Mangalore has achieved an all time record throughput of 0.512 Million MT LPG. Out of this 0.38 Million MT belonged to National Oil Companies and 0.14 Million own imports. It is instrumental in increasing the Terminal utilization by many folds. Revenue from Terminalling operation was 5 MUSD.

 

One of the workers at Mangalore Terminal received the ‘State Award for the Best worker of the year 2012’ from Directorate of Factories, Karnataka State recognizing his efforts in promoting Safety. The Company’s workers have received similar awards during 2007, 2008 and 2009 and 2012 too.

 

BITUMEN BUSINESS

 

The Company achieved a total volume of 2,980 MT in year 2012. The customers have currently chosen the Company as supplier of PMB for their ongoing road project in Rajasthan which is expected to add momentum to achieve a turnaround in the business. Quality of product, technical support and superior service standards, as acknowledged by customer, are clear differentiators supporting the choice of the Company.

 

The Company started 2013 with highest ever sales volume of 1,584 MT in a month (January-2013).

 

Though implementation of road projects across the country is still hurdled by many issues, some of the earlier awarded projects in Rajasthan are expected to gain momentum during the year. The Company is looking for opportunities outside the State of Rajasthan through mobile plants or fixed plants are being explored.

 

AMALGAMATION

 

During the year, Total Vinergy Bitumen India Private Limited, another subsidiary Company of Total Raffinage Marketing, got merged with the Company.
