GLOBAL ECONOMY

 

The global economy strengthened during the second half of 2013-14 and is expected to improve further in 2014-15, with much of the impetus being generated from advanced economies. Emerging economies faced several challenges, especially the ones with higher inflationary pressures and wider current account deficits. Some of them have tightened macroeconomic policies to shore-up confidence and strengthen their commitment to policy objectives. Looking ahead, the global growth is projected to increase from 3.6 percent in 2013-14 to 3.9 percent in 2014-15. In advanced economies, growth is expected to increase to about 2.25 percent in 2014-15, an improvement of about 1 percentage point. Key drivers comprise reduction in fiscal tightening and highly accommodative monetary conditions. Growth will be strongest in the United States at about 2.7 percent amongst

Advance economies. Growth is projected to be positive but varied in the European region: stronger in the core, but weaker in other countries, especially with high debt levels. Across developing economies, growth is projected to pick up gradually from about 5 percent in 2013-14. Growth will be helped by stronger external demand from advanced economies.

 

INDIAN ECONOMY

 

The Indian economy is likely to grow by 5.6 percent in 2014- 15. Economic growth is likely to be contributed majorly by the industrial sector, which is estimated to grow by 4.1 percent. Within the industrial sector, the manufacturing and construction sub-sectors are expected to grow at 3.3 percent and 5.6 percent, respectively. The last fiscal witnessed significant currency volatility, concerns on current account deficit and budget deficit, stalled projects and policy log-jam. Policy measures taken by RBI have helped reduce the volatility. Curb on gold imports dramatically cut down the current account deficit and helped the rupee strengthen. Despite RBI measures on the interest rates, CPI still remains at 8.6 percent, which was primarily fuelled by food and agri products; hence agri output remains a key focus area of the government.


INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

 

Demand for tractors is mainly driven by the farmer’s ability to purchase a tractor and is affected both, directly and indirectly by a number of factors. Key measures taken by the government in the agri sector allows 100% FDI under the automatic route in storage and warehousing, including cold storages, allocation of USD 145.8Billion which is around 8 percent of the GDP for agriculture credit and a total proposed outlay of USD 4.31 billion from the Ministry of Agriculture is expected to provide the much needed boost for the sector. Going forward, agriculture export is likely to cross USD 45 billion, whereas agricultural credit is expected to exceed the target of H 7 lakh cr. Such indicators help portray the huge potential of this sector which is crucial given the size and the Future growth of the country. The year witnessed robust growth in tractor volumes, led by the central region, followed by western, northern and southern regions. Going forward, the industry is expected to maintain a CAGR growth of 8-9 percent over the next five years. With the long-term industry drivers intact and the economy turning a corner, one can expect the sector to perform up to its potential over the coming years.

We expect domestic tractor sales to grow by 5-7 percent in 2014-15. The growth in farm incomes is expected to moderate to 3-5 percent from a 15 percent CAGR recorded over the last two years. Although farm mechanisation has shown an increasing trend in the country, there are wide ranging disparities in the progress of mechanisation across states. The northern states of Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh have already achieved high levels of mechanization as compared with western and southern states of the country viz., Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and certain areas of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Uptake in infrastructure development will have a positive impact on tractor sales. With respect to monsoons for the current year, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast states that the southwest monsoon will be below normal at 95 percent of the long period average.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Demand is expected to remain weak in the near term, particularly for CVs, given uncertain macro-economic environment. Over the long-term, easing macro headwinds in terms of lower interest rates and higher economic growth will emerge as the key drivers for volume growth and profitability. With more product launches lined up, volume recovery is expected across segments. However, the benefit of the same would differ from player to player depending on their product lifecycle and competitive intensity. While an immediate upturn in the auto industry is not expected, industrial activity and infrastructure spending are expected to pick-up gradually, thereby leading to improvement in commercial vehicle demand. Escorts Auto Products (EAP) top-3 OEM customers have been witnessing production de-growth in the range of 15-25 percent for over a year. In view of the pressure on OEM segment sales, the business undertook the following initiatives to reduce the adverse impact on profitability:
