MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

ECECONOMIC REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

 

The revitalisation of global economy continued during the calendar year 2013 and the global economy ended the year on a better footing as compared to the start of the year. The growth momentum is expected to be carried forward during the year 2014. The International Monetary Fund forecasts that world output will grow 3.6% in 2014, compared to 2.9% during 2013. The US economy grew at an annual rate of 2.6% in the last quarter of 2013 with better growth forecast for 2014. The UK economy strengthened steadily with GDP showing 1.9% growth during 2013 and it is expected to maintain the revival momentum through 2014. Eurozone continued to show mixed signs of recovery and growth concerns. However, policy action by specific countries is expected to deliver better performance during 2014. While the global economic recalibration is playing out in a relatively measured way, global business leaders are becoming increasingly confident about the sustained economic and business growth than they were last year. Global corporations’ performance and investors’ confidence were reflected in the sharp movement of world capital markets during 2013.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

Electronics Division:

With the advent of 2014, market is showing steady signs of a slow revival especially from its largest market, US. The year 2014 has shown some early signs of pick-up in discretionary spends which coupled with strategic initiatives by the companies will improve momentum to 15% plus year-onyear growth in Financial year 2015. The Indian IT is gearing up to meet this demand by strengthening their sales and resources largely in the US market. Healthy pick-up in spending in key markets of North America and scope for accelerated market share gains in Europe can support 15% growth for the Industry. Numerous changes within the global IT Industry has brought into focus areas such as cloud, mobility and analytics to the fore, with Indian IT firms adapting rapidly.

 

The thin client market size in EMEA was 1.85 million units, and is expected to grow by 4.3% this year, and expected to grow by 7.3% (CAGR) till 2018. The global economy is set to get stronger in 2014, with growth likely to edge up to 3.2 percent this year, up from 2.4 percent in 2013, according a World Bank report. Worldwide IT spending is projected to total $3.8 trillion in 2014, a 3.1 percent increase from 2013 spending of $3.7 trillion, according to the latest forecast by Gartner, Inc. India is growing faster than other emerging countries which can be attributed to an export-oriented focus over the last decade.

 

Chemical Division:

The Dyestuff sector is one of the core chemical industries in India. It is also the second highest export segment in chemical industry. The Indian dyestuff industry is made up of about 1,000 small scale units and 50 large organized units, who produce around 2,00,000 tonnes of dyestuff. Maharashtra and Gujarat account for 90% of dyestuff production in India. At present, India contributes about 6% of the share in the global market in this sector. The dyestuff industry has recently seen movement towards consolidation and as a result, organized players are now poised to take a lead in the global market. Small units (around 1000) that exist today still compete in the segments where price realization is lower and the competition severe. Large and organized players (around 50) are gearing up for global competitiveness leveraging technology, product innovation and brand building. Increased focus is being laid on environmental friendliness and at the same time the industry is ensuring greater customer focus through technical services and marketing capabilities, in order to face global competition.

 

SEGMENT-WISE PERFORMANCE

 

Electronics Division:

The performance of the company was relatively less satisfactory during the year in comparison to last year turnover. The segment result, before adjustment for unallocated expenses (net) and provisions for taxation, marginally decreased to Rs. 79.780 Millions as compared to Rs.98.305Millions in the previous year.

 

Chemical Division:

On the units on pollution issues resulting in shortages and high prices of intermediates. Indian dyestuff industry continues to face supply issues of raw materials from the source of supply. Good relations with vendors and careful selection of product range has enabled us to retain our place in the market. Inspite of decrease in turnover in comparison to last year’s turnover the company has managed to escalate the margin for the period under review. The segment result, before adjustment for unallocated expenses (net) and provisions for taxation, marginally increased to Rs.2.444 Millions as compared to Rs.1.763 Millions  in the previous year.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

Electronics Division:

Driven by an improvement in the global economic climate and rise in the technology spend, FY 2013-14 brought optimism for the Indian IT industry. A gradual revival in consumer confidence leading to return of discretionary spending, and increased demand from US and Europe is expected to help drive exports in FY 2014-15. While US continues to be the largest geographic market for India, accounting for 62% share, it is widely expected that the revival in demand from Europe, will be the highlight of FY 2014-15. The future looks positive as the IT industry is evolving dramatically in terms of scale and complexity. The sector is expected to leverage collaboration, innovation, technology shifts and build a transformational agenda for India. It will create a market not only in India but globally that will serve as technology differentiator for customers shifting from cost to innovation.

 

IT Exports from India are estimated to have grown by around 13% in dollar terms to around USD 86 billion while the Indian domestic sector is estimated to have grown by 9.7% to approx. USD 32 billion in FY 2013-14. NASSCOM has projected increased growth rate of 13-15% in exports and around 9-12% in domestic sector in FY 2014-15. “After showing strong double-digit growth for three years, the thin client market may end with flat performance of 1% in its unit shipments in 2013,” said Rajani Singh, senior research analyst at IDC’s U.S. Quarterly PC Tracker. “Despite existing challenges, they expect strong doubledigit year-on-year growth in thin client unit shipments during 2014-2017; as a result, the 2012-2017 Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) will touch roughly 9.3%.

 

Chemical Division:

Difficulties in obtaining the goods will have to be tackled carefully. New product range in the existing vertical and new areas in specialty chemicals markets will be the company’s focus to increase business.
