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.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC SCENARIO AN OVERVIEW

 

“Learn from yesterday, live for today and hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning: - Albert Einstein

 

As you are aware, the year 2013 began on a dampened note on account of the economic woes of the previous year getting spilled over. A growing number of developed countries, especially in Europe, had fallen into double digit recession and those facing sovereign distress have moved even deeper into recession. Many developed economies of the world were caught in downward spiraling dynamics from high unemployment, weak aggregated demand compounded by fiscal austerity, high public debt burdens and financial fragility.

 

The economic woes of developed countries also had a cascading effect on developing countries as well as economies in transition through weakened demand for their exports and heightened volatility in capital inflows and commodity prices.

 

However, as Y 2013 went along, there were marked changes in the world economy with Europe appearing to be staging a come back. Germany remained solid and Spain and Italy have in the recent months clocked some of the best economic data since Y 2011. Even Greece started showing encouraging financial figures! The situation is not restricted to Eurozone alone. The financial data from UK appeared solid and the figures of Eastern European nations also looked stronger. It would not yet be right to say that Europe “is out of the woods” but things appeared to be moving in the right direction.

 

In US, it appeared that better than expected growth is around the corner with economic data for Y 2013 emerging stronger and seems more durable than any time since the last crisis. The labour and housing markets are showing signs of improvement and the Quantitative Easing (QE) appears to be further tapering down any time soon. However, the woes of US appear to be more political with the tussle between the Obama Administration and the Republicans on the Obamacare resulting in a siege on governance which not only led to a near default on debt servicing, but also shutdown of various government agencies for nearly two weeks.

 

China appeared to be heading towards a crash landing after more than two years of single digit growth following a decade of double digit growth. However, if the recent figures are anything to go by, things aren?t all that bad. Growth is not all that spectacular, but things are not deteriorating also. The new government is focused on having “quality growth” (i.e growth not just driven by aggressive investment) as well as pushing reforms and cracking down on corruption. So China might not be a voracious consumer for world’s commodities as it used to be, but a full-on melt down in the world’s most populous country doesn’t seem that likely either.

 

Japan has experienced an “impressive” pick up since the government launched a massive stimulus programme to spur the economy out of prolonged stagnation. The Abenomics seems to be leading the economy of the country on a growth path at least in the short term.

 

In addition to the above, various geopolitical issues such as the after effects of Arab Spring in Middle East continuing to rock countries like Egypt and Syria, the political standoff between Iran and the Western World etc. not only played spoil sport in lifting the global economic sentiments but also led to turbulence in the supply and price scenario of Oil, a key energy source of the world.

 

 

REVIEW OF COMPANY’S OPERATIONS

 

As is evident from the above the business environment worldwide including India during the year remained very turbulent and input cost scenario was also exposed to high volatility.

 

Your Company’s end use segments such as Textile, Tyre and Rubber, Paper and Pulp, Protective Coatings etc. faced turbulent times. The Textile segment was besieged by lower demand due to a downturn in domestic consumption on account of dampened economic sentiments in the country as well as increasing competition from low cost economies such as Bangladesh, Vietnam, Pakistan and Cambodia in the export market.

 

The slowdown in the economy had a significant adverse impact on the Automotive segment of India and this significantly influenced the fortunes of Tyre and Rubber segment which is one of the key end use segments of the Company.

 

The significantly cheaper imports of newsprint and other types of paper put the Paper and Pulp Industry, another significant end use segment of the Company, under pressure leading to cut down in their production.

 

Industrial and Infrastructure development is the key driver for the Protective Coating Industry which is yet another key end use segment of the Company and the on going policy paralysis with Government of India led to delay in execution of various Industrial and Infrastructure projects in India, which in turn left a significant adverse impact on the Protective Coating segment.

 

You would agree that the above volatile scenario offered a sure recipe for an adverse impact on the bottomline of the Company. However, the Directors are extremely pleased to share that even in such circumstances, the Company continued to show its mettle by clocking not only a wonderful but also the best ever financial performance during the year.

 

The Directors are pleased to place on record their sincere appreciation for the strong commitment as well as the exemplary efforts put in by each member of Team TSIL, which has resulted in this memorable performance.

 

The Directors believe that many significant factors have contributed to this best ever performance, namely our continuing efforts to widen the customer base, maximising sales volumes for all products both in India and abroad, quickly grasping opportunities in the market to significantly shore up their sales prices of all products, efforts to contain their input prices even in a volatile raw material scenario, optimization of input costs through process improvements, acceleration in cash flow through shortening the credit cycle for its products, further strengthening of the business processes through improved ERP systems etc.

 

Their efforts to maximize production and capacity utilization of their plants along with various improvement initiatives across the value chain, made significant contributions to the overall performance.

 

The Company made committed efforts for Energy Conservation by undertaking out of the box initiatives and these facilitated significant gain in terms of reduced energy costs during the year.

 

Able support was availed from R&D with respect to various process improvements as well as new product initiatives that can foster future growth.

 

During the year the Company was able place itself in the right place at the right time, to take advantage of the opportunities that the markets offered while remaining focused on controlling costs, strengthening its systems and improving the business processes.

 

The Directors are also pleased to inform that during the year , the Company had the privilege of receiving Awards from CHEMXCIL and Container Corporation of India (CONCOR) for growth in Exports and for maximum container movement from Vadodara ICD respectively

 

OUTLOOK

 

As you are aware, the Company has never been the one to comfort itself on the laurels but instead has always made efforts to the best of its ability to foresee the challenges that lie ahead in order to be able to make plans to deal with the same effectively.

 

While the global economic situation is expected to improve in the coming year, the Company foresees the markets to remain volatile with the uncertainties prevailing in various parts having the potential to have an adverse impact on demand and competition intensifying for various products. This could result in an adverse impact on the sales volumes and prices for their products. The improvement in business sentiments can also lead to an upswing in prices of key raw materials and a weak Indian Rupee can keep the energy costs high. The increase in zinc metal purchase premiums that we faced in Y 2013 has the possibility to further escalate in Y 2014.

 

In order to deal with the above challenges the Company’s efforts shall be focused on areas such as maximizing their market share as well as sales prices for all products, continued efforts to contain raw material prices through some out of the box procurement efforts, further optimization in raw material and energy efficiencies in order to contain bought out costs, optimum utilization of all resources including working capital for further improvement in cash flow, extending their ERP systems to areas hitherto uncovered such as technical areas so that their business processes as well as MIS become more integrated and real time.

 

Improvement in Zinc Valorisation shall continue to be a thrust area and focused efforts of the techno-commercial team in all areas related to this subject can lead to significant improvements during this year.

 

The recent shifting of Zinc Oxide plant from Bhiwandi to Ekalbara should help the Company to achieve self-sufficiency in Zinc Oxide production, which is very important from not only the angle of supply reassurance to customers but also from overall cost optimisation angle.

 

FINANCE

 

During the year, the Company had cast its focus on Treasury and Risk Management. On the treasury front, arising out of healthy cash flows, interest and dividend income aggregated to Rs.68.000 Millions during the year through investments in various plans of mutual funds. On the forex front too, the Company registered a substantial gain of Rs.580.000 Millions during the year. The Metal Risk was also managed through appropriate risk management tools.

 

The Company holds Crisil’s A1+ rating (indicating very strong safety regarding timely payment) on the Commercial Paper Program of the Company as well as Packing Credit, Letter of Credit and Bank Guarantee components of working capital facilities. On the Cash Credit component, the rating stands at AA/Stable (indicating high safety regarding timely payments).
