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.

OPERATIONS:

 

The growth of the industrial sector, in general, and within that, manufacturing, in particular, witnessed a steep decline. This was the second consecutive year of low growth. Consequently, during the year, the Company’s sales increased by only 4%. Domestic sales were fat (volumes contracted by about 3%) while exports grew by about 75% (largely due to one large equipment order executed by the Company’s Project Engineering Division). Overall, the growth in sales was the lowest since 2001. Meanwhile, margins came under increasing pressure due to the rise in cost of inputs (energy and raw materials), the further depreciation of the Rupee and general inflationary conditions. While the management succeeded in increasing prices, in weak and highly competitive markets, the increase was not sufficient to maintain margins, even after considering the improvements in productivity, efficiencies and yields and cost control. Consequently, the Company’s operating profit declined by 8.5%, the first drop since 2008.

 

SUBSIDIARY IN BHUTAN
 
Operations of the Company’s subsidiary in Bhutan stabilized and achieved almost 100% capacity utilization. The processing plant project started last year was commissioned in January 2013. During the year, the company has made a further equity investment of Rs. 35 million in its subsidiary.  This capital infusion was utilized for the processing plant. In terms of general exemption provided under Section 212 (8) of the Companies Act, 1956, granted by Ministry of Corporate Affairs vide its circular no 02/2011 dated 8th February, 2011 and in compliance with the conditions enlisted therein, copies of the Balance Sheet, Statement of Profit & Loss, Report of Board of Directors and Auditors of the subsidiary have not been attached to the Balance Sheet of the Company.  However these documents will be made available upon request by any member of the Company. As directed by said circular, the financial data of the subsidiary has been furnished under Financial Information of Subsidiary Company which forms part of Annual Report. The annual accounts of the Company including that of the subsidiary will be kept for inspection by any member. Further, pursuant to Accounting Standard (AS) – 21, consolidated financial statements presented by the Company include financial information of the subsidiary company.

 

AMALGAMATION OF GROUP COMPANIES
 
At a meeting held on 19th April, 2013, the Board of Directors of the company, based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, has approved the merger of SEPR Refractories India Ltd (SEPR), Saint-Gobain Crystals and Detectors India Limited (SGCD) and Saint-Gobain Sekurit India Limited (SGSIL) with the Company. The appointed date for the Scheme of Amalgamation was fixed as 1st April, 2013.  The Board, after due consideration, approved the share exchange ratio as determined by the independent valuer, M/s. S.R. Batliboi & Co. LLP. The fairness opinion on the valuation was provided by ICICI Securities Ltd, a category - I merchant banker.
 
The share swap ratio for the proposed scheme has been determined as under:
 
 (i) 1 (one) Equity Share of the face value of Rs. 5/- (Rs. Five) each fully paid-up of the Company for every 17 (Seventeen) Equity Shares of the face value of Rs. 10 (Rs. Ten), each fully paid-up of SGSIL
 
 (ii) 100 (one hundred) Equity Shares of the face value of Rs. 5/- (Rs. Five) each fully paid-up of the Company for every 50 (Fifty) Equity Shares of the face value of Rs. 10/- (Rs. Ten) each, fully paid-up of SGCD
 
 (iii) 100 (one hundred) Equity Shares of the face value of Rs. 5/- (Rs. Five) each fully paid-up of the Company for every 38 (Thirty eight) Equity Shares of the face value of Rs. 10/- (Rs. Ten) each, fully paid-up of SEPR
 
The amalgamation is subject to all necessary approvals from statutory / regulatory authorities in the respective jurisdictions and subject to the sanction / conformation by the concerned High Court and / or any other appropriate authority as may be necessary.
 
FUTURE PROSPECTS:
 
 There are no signs of industrial growth recovering in the short term. It is possible that a mild recovery may commence in the later part of 2013-14, but this is far from certain. Under the circumstances, the Company’s management will focus on increasing price realization,  improving operating performance (implementation of the World Class Manufacturing programme remains a priority) and containing costs and working capital even as it continues to invest in new products and new markets in order to sustain growth.
