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:

 

LUBRICANTS BUSINESS:

 

The Company faced tough year in 2013 due to further economic slowdown as reflected in macroeconomic GDP indicators. The economic downturn in 2013 was reflected in the sharp decline in mining and infrastructure sectors, slump in Automotive Industry growth, decline in Industrial Activity and liquidity crunch all compounded to a negative impact on Lube Industry. Year 2013 saw the introduction of a new Local Body Tax (LBT) in lieu of the erstwhile Cess at Navi Mumbai where the Company’s manufacturing plant is located. This would have an additional implication of approx. 2% on all material inputs used for manufacturing and plant operations at Navi Mumbai. The Company registered a growth of 2.2% in the overall sales volume i.e. After Market, Workshop segment registered 16%, Distributor channel 5% and double digit growth in PCMO and MCO segment. However, there was decline in OEM factory fill segment by 8% and Industrial lubricant segment by 11%. Proactive Pricing and efficient cost management has helped to largely manage sluggish sales volume growth.

 

Sales revenues registered a growth of over 6 % over the previous year. The Company has continued to pursue its long term growth strategy and have taken new initiatives to expand its consumer base through innovative sales and trade promotions and on ground campaigns covering Retailer, Mechanic and Consumers. The Company continues to support high performing Distributors through TOTAL ELITE CLUB programme. During the year the Company completed an important strategic survey to set direction for long term OEM engagement. In the Automotive segment, the company launched Lube-in-the-box LIB MCO project, an initiative of Total Asia Pacific, a strategic growth project for the crucial 2-Wheeler oil segment. During the Year, the Company continued to focus on a wide array of Marketing activities aimed at strengthening the Brand position. To improve the brand recall in MCO and PCMO segment the Company has continued to invest in media campaigns in 2013.

 

During the year, the Company has commissioned 32 Moto Zone and 25 Rapid Auto Service, taking the overall tally to 400 operational MZ and 75 operational RAS, a branded workshop initiative developed to increase consumer contact points for the flagship brands.

To increase the presence of brand TOTAL in the aftermarket Agri segment, the company took the initiative of brand migration and, ELF Super HD 5 was migrated to TOTAL. The Company continued its 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.

 

With the objective of building competence and effectiveness of Sales team and Distributor team, the company conducted a series of brand workshops across the country and provided training on the various aspects of brand management, network management and customer relationship management. The company won the prestigious award for Quality and Delivery Improvement from Maruti Suzuki for the fourth consecutive year in 2013. 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 led to increased drain intervals especially in CV and 2-wheeler segments which has tapered the overall growth in lube consumption. Cars OEMs are moving rapidly towards fuel economy products, as is evident from the change in recommendation to lower viscosity engine oils. 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 comparatively 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 aggressive schemes to retailer/mechanic and consumers. In industrial sector also, market has seen increased competition through discounting by National Oil Companies (NOCs) and local players to retain market share. TOTAL has developed Lubricants in Fuel Economy range covering all the segments.

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.

Though implementation of road projects across the country is continuing to be hurdled by multiple issues, revival of the sector is expected post general elections in 2014. Some of the new BOT projects which are expected to reach implementation stage during 2014 will bring additional business to the Company and help in achieving a turnaround.
