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.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

 

Despite general slowdown in the economic conditions worldwide, the financial performance of the Company during the year has been reasonably satisfactory and stable. The operating margins were affected due to disruption in the supplies of Iron Ore from Odisha on account of restrictions imposed by the government and temporary closure of many mines. The Company had to source Iron Ore of poor quality at higher prices, however since the beginning of the current year the situation has gradually improved and is expected to become normal in near future. Both in the steel and power segments, the Company has achieved overall volume growth in production across the divisions, which has resulted in Company achieving highest ever production levels and substantial growth in turnover. Further, the power generation capacities commissioned during the last financial year, stabilized during the year and have been operating successfully. The additional Sponge Iron Kiln, which was set up in the later part of the last financial year, contributed significantly towards cost reduction and integration of capacities. During the later part of the year, the Company has successfully expanded its Ferro Alloys capacity by setting up additional furnaces, which shall result in optimum utilization of surplus power capacities. Captive coal mining operations have been satisfactory. Rigid PVC Pipes has registered impressive performance and has achieved record production during the year. The Company's continuous commitment towards quality has enabled it to create a niche in the market for its products.

 

 

FUTURE PROSPECTS

 

The Company is further expanding its Sponge Iron capacity by setting up an additional module, which is expected to be commissioned by the end of this financial year. The Company continues its efforts to completely integrate its operations and in this direction, additional capacities in Steel making and Power generation with Ferro Alloys are under implementation which will cater to the requirements of the finished Steel segment comprising of Wire Rod, TMT Bars and Structural resulting in optimum utilisation of the capacities for these products.

 

The Company has been allotted iron ore mines in the states of Chhattisgarh and Odisha, which are expected to be operational towards the end of the current financial year. Subsequent to the mines becoming operational, the self-reliant quotient of the Company shall reach the optimal level, making the Company fully integrated.

 

In view of the expanded operations and improved supply situation of Iron Ore and Coal, both in terms of availability and pricing, performance of this year is expected to be much better.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

As per the World Steel Association, the Indian Steel Industry is expected to witness a much better performance in the coming years, in line with its forecast for a global rebound. Although the World Steel Association has forecasted steel consumption in India to grow at 5 per cent in the current year, it expects a spurt in the demand in the medium-term if the Indian government implements its $ 1 trillion infrastructure investment plan in a timely manner. The steel demand is also expected to be fuelled by monetary easing expected in the coming years, which shall substantially support investment activities. Globally also, India has acquired a strong position on the steel map with its giant steel mills, acquisition of global scale capacities by players, continuous modernisation and up-gradation of old plants, improving energy efficiency, and backward integration into global raw material sources. From the current position of fourth largest crude steel capacity in the world, India is expected to become the second largest producer of crude steel in the world by 2015-16. India is maintaining its position as the world's largest producer of sponge iron with a host of coal based units located in its mineral-rich states. On the whole, the environment for the Indian Steel Industry looks promising in the years to come.

 

 

SEGMENT WISE / PRODUCT WISE PERFORMANCE / OUTLOOK

 

The performance of the Steel, Power and Mining operations of the Company have been satisfactory during the year. The additions in the Sponge Iron and Power capacities during the later part of the last financial year, resulted in significant cost savings during the year. Out of the total 625 MW power capacity expansion plan, after successfully commissioning first 100 MW power plant during the last financial year, the Company is taking up the implementation of the subsequent phase of 100 MW. The capacity utilization in the end products namely, Wire Rod, TMT Bars and Ferro Alloys was highest during the year. Captive coal mining operations continued at optimal level throughout the year. Company is also into manufacture of Rigid PVC Pipes which has further improved upon the performance and achieved highest ever production levels.
