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.

ARVIND LIFESTYLE ACQUIRES INDIA BIZ OF HANESBRANDS

 

February 12, 2013

Arvind Lifestyle Brands, a subsidiary of Arvind Limited, on Monday, said it had acquired the India operations of U.S.-based Hanesbrands Inc. Arvind is targeting revenues of Rs.5000.000 Millions in the next four years from the business, which includes basic and intimate apparel under Hanes and Wonderbra brands.

 

This acquisition follows Arvind’s purchase of Debenham’s, Next and Nautica brands in India in September 2012. Last week, it entered into an exclusive agreement to manufacture and distribute Ed Hardy apparel and accessories in India.

 

Addressing a press conference, Sanjay Lalbhai, Chairman and Managing Director, Arvind, said, “This transaction signals our entry into the highly lucrative market of branded apparel essentials with lingerie and undergarments. This market segment is estimated at over Rs.18000.000 Millions, and is expected to grow over 18 per cent from thereon year-on-year.”

 

The Indian men’s innerwear market is around Rs.72000.000 Millions while the women’s innerwear market is around Rs.10,800 crore. About 60 per cent of this market is in organised sector.

 

Hanes has been in India for five years and Arvind plans to increase points of sale from 5,000 to 15,000 in three years.

 

Without providing details of the transaction, J. Suresh CEO and MD, Arvind Lifestyle Brands, said “There were no assets in terms of stores to take over so it was only a takeover of the stocks amounting to Rs.100.000-150.000 Millions. We will continue to import Wonderbra products but plan to make Hanes locally. We plan to grow Hanes from Rs.450.000 Millions to Rs.5000.000 Millions in four years.’’

 

“We have focussed on and built a strong position in the Indian men’s wear, women’s wear and kidswear segments and so it was only logical that we look at the branded apparels essentials and lingerie market as the next area of growth,” said Mr. Suresh.

 

Arvind’s brands and retail business has grown at 38 per cent annually over the last five years and from expected revenues of Rs.17000.000 Millions in 2012-13, it is targeting revenues of Rs.50000.000 Millions by 2018 of which Rs.30000.000 Millions would come from organic growth while the balance through acquisitions, brand launches and joint ventures, Mr. Suresh said.

Mumbai, June 08,2013

Arvind Lifestyle Brands expecting sales of Rs 50000.000 Millions in next five years with leadership positions in menswear, kidswear and speciality retail

 

Textiles major Arvind has merged its retail subsidiary,  Arvind Retailwith the brands holding arm, Arvind Lifestyle Brands. Recently, in a mail to suppliers, it said, “Arvind Retail is merged with Arvind Lifestyle Brands. With effect from June 1, all invoices will be raised in the name of Arvind Lifestyle Brands.” The two entities were two separate investment vehicles; we have merged the two for operational efficiencies. We don’t have any divestment plans in the short term, said Kulin Lalbhai, executive director of Arvind. Analysts believe the merged entity might get listed. Lalbhai declined to comment on the matter. Arvind Lifestyle Brands, which accounts for brands such as Arrow and Ed Hardy, recorded revenue of Rs 7960.000 Millions in 2012-13.

Arvind Retail, which holds the rights for Megamart, recorded business of Rs 5100.000 Millions in the same period.

Through the next five years, Arvind Lifestyle Brands expects sales of Rs 50000.000 Millions, with leadership positions in the menswearkidswearand specialty retail segments.


In 2012-13, the company’s brands and retail segment recorded a loss of Rs 2.9 crore, against a loss of Rs 44.800 Millions in 2011-12. Its revenue stood at Rs 14040 .000 Millions, six per cent higher than in 2011-12. Through the next five years, the company is eyeing a compounded annual growth rate of 29 per cent.


Jignesh Kamani, research analyst with Nirmal Bang Securities, said, “The merger is for tax purposes and does not have much impact on the financials of the company.”


In a recent investor presentation, Arvind said it wanted to raise the share of its brands and retail segment to the revenue from 27 per cent in 2012-13 to 36 per cent in 2015-16. Currently, 68 per cent of the revenue is accounted for by the textiles segment; other businesses account for three per cent.


Analysts said the return on capital in the brands and retail segment was under pressure. In 2011-12, it stood at 11.4 per cent, which was lower than its cost of capital. In 2012-13, it was 10.4 per cent.


Meanwhile, Arvind on Friday said it planned to open 300 stores under its multi-brand retail format The Arvind Store in five years; 60 of these would be opened this financial year. The company is eyeing revenues of Rs 6000.000 Millions from The Arvind Store by 2017-18.

 

 

ARVIND TO LAUNCH OWN APPAREL BRAND NEXT YEAR

 

AHMEDABAD, AUG 24:  

Leading denim maker Arvind Limited will launch 'Arvind' brand apparels next year to enter the Rs 20000.000- Millions organised branded apparel market in the country.

 

“We want to create a whole new apparel experience under the Arvind brand now,” Kulin S. Lalbhai, Executive Director, New Initiatives, Arvind Limited, told Business Line on the sidelines of opening of the company’s first flagship 'Arvind Store' in Ahmedabad, its home ground.

 

Arvind Store

 

The new format store aims at recreating the Arvind brand into a whole new avatar, he said, adding that the company would just not remain a denim or cotton shirting brand.

 

“We want to emerge as a complete lifestyle brand, offering accessories as well.”

 

The Arvind Store will offer premium suiting and shirting fabrics and display brands like Arrow, US POLO Association, Flying Machines, Custom Tailoring and Tresca, besides products from American lifestyle brand Nautica.

 

New concepts

 

In addition, it will have customised tailoring solutions and two new concepts namely Studio Arvind and Arvind Denim Lab that will offer customised washed jeans made to order.

 

He said, with this, Arvind will present for the first time in India hand-crafted Bespoke denim. The garment will be delivered to the customer in 14 days.

 

Flagship store

 

The flagship store is different from the existing 120 retail Arvind outlets across India in that it will offer the entire range of Arvind products and services under one roof, right from clothing and ready-mades to designing.

 

“We have even introduced, for the first time in the world, a self-designing place where a customer can design his or her personalised denims, including the desired stitching, buttons, even his or her name on it.”

 

Exclusive flagship stores

 

Arvind will open two to three similar exclusive flagship stores in the metros in the next few months, and add another 30 stores to its existing chain of retail outlets. Unlike the 1,500-sqft retail outlets, the flagship stores are in large formats of 4,000 sq ft, he said.

 

Besides, the one-stop-shop flagship store will also have a design studio where the customer could select his or her own designing preferences from start-to-finish. The company plans to roll out The Arvind Store format to over 400 stores in the next five years.

 

Lalbhai said that India’s apparel market is worth $3.5 billion annually, only about a fourth of which is in the organised sector.

 

Arvind Limited’s turnover in 2012-13 was Rs 55000.000 Millions, one-third of which came from brands and retail. The company sees a 20 per cent growth this fiscal, he said.

 

“In the next five years, we plan to make our apparel business worth Rs 6,000 crore.,” he added.

 

Arvind’s garmenting facility in Bangladesh is expected to commence production in the next six to seven months.

 

 

ARVIND TO BE RS 20000.000 MILLIONS MEGA BRAND IN 5 YEARS

 

Ahmedabad, Gujarat, June 8, 2013 

Arvind Limited, one of India's largest integrated textile and apparel companies, is planning to build the 'brand Arvind' into a Rs 20000.000 Millions brand by FY2017-18. The brand Arvind which is a premium fabric brand for both men's and women's fabrics clocked revenues of close to Rs 5000.000 Millions in the last fiscal, and is an important part of Arvind's overall brands and retail portfolio which touched revenues of Rs 19000.000 Millions in FY2012-13. The four fold growth strategy will see Arvind expand beyond its traditional distribution model with a rapid roll-out of its new retail format 'The Arvind Store' and growing in the premium fabric market with its new brand 'Tresca'.

 

With 100 Arvind Stores up and running, Arvind Limited is now aiming to grow the format multi-fold to over 400 stores in the next five years. Taking a step away from the conventional look-and-feel, The Arvind Store is a modern and futuristic layout to provide the best of Arvind merchandise under one roof. By exhibiting all of Arvind's finest fabrics, customised tailoring, customised jeans and the best of Arvind's ready-made brands, 'The Arvind Store' is designed as a complete lifestyle destination. The store format provides a comprehensive wardrobe solution to the discerning consumer. The Arvind Store franchise is likely to cross Rs. 6000.000 Millions in revenues by FY 2017-18.

 

Recently, Arvind Limited introduced its most premium fabric offering 'Tresca' to target the high-end shirting and suiting market. With growing disposable incomes in India, the premium fabric market is a high growth market in which Tresca aims to establish itself as a leading brand. Tresca will offer premium products, contemporary international design and a lifestyle positioning. Arvind aims to build Tresca into a Rs 2500.000 Millions brand over the next 5 years.

 

Commenting on the plan, Mr. Kulin Lalbhai, Executive Director of Arvind Limited, said, "Our aim is to make Arvind a Rs 20000.000 Millions mega brand in the next five years. It will be made possible with the rapid roll-out of 'The Arvind Store' format which will have over 400 stores and revenues of in excess of Rs. 6000.000 Millions by FY2017-18. Our new premium fabric brand 'Tresca' will target the fast growing premium shirting and suiting fabric market. The 'Brand Arvind' will play a critical role towards Arvind Limited’s vision of building a $1 billion brands and retail business. Our aim for the brand Arvind is to attain a leadership position in the fabric brands and retail market in India."

 

The Arvind Store aims to substitute the old and weary mom-&-pop channel with modern retail, which matches the aspirations of modern India. It widens the portfolio of products offered to attract the younger customer - casual fabrics, denim fabrics and Arvind Denim Lab- a concept new to the consumer. It plans to access a very large consumption market of more 500 cities which can sustain this model.

 

"Tresca fabric is made primarily from 3 natural fibres - cotton, linen and wool. Quality is ensured by using the best raw materials and by using cutting edge technologies throughout the production phases from processing the fibre to finishing the fabrics. This fabric brand is designed for a discerning individual who wants to look young and trendy and one who wants to get rid of the boredom of a typical formalwear range," added Mr. Kulin Lalbhai.

 

Tresca will be made available at leading retail outlets across India and is directly serviced by the company. It will showcase 4 collections in a year with over 2000 designs to choose from.
