ECONOMIC AND INDUSTRIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

The Global Economy

 

The global economy has seen an improvement in sentiment with growth in some major economies. However, the rising price of oil due to political uncertainties in West Asia, supply dislocation in some other oil-exporting countries, high exposure to natural disasters, increasing global tensions, concerns about global warming and rapid climatic changes, will pose threats to economic recovery. The restriction on availability of key raw materials in view of clamp down by Chinese Government due to environmental concerns, inward looking policies of major world economies, buildup of financial vulnerabilities are some of the key factors that will drive the global economy in the near future. The result of these factors will be felt during the coming period and will affect the foundry industry.

 

Indian Economy – Opportunities and Threats

 

India being largely a domestically-driven economy, most investors, domestic and international, remain positive about its economic future. This belief emanates from the series of measures taken by the Government in boosting the economy, which recorded a growth of 7.1% in 2016-17, logging the fatest expansion globally. The Indian economy is poised for growth which is evident from the recent upgrade of India's local and foreign currency issuer ratings and also improvement in rating of the Indian economy on the global scale

 

The twin effects of demonetisation and the hardship faced by the tax payers imposing enormous compliance burden of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) has affected the Indian business environment, especially the business in the foundry industry which largely exist in the unorganised sector. Other bold measures of the Government, viz., the enactment of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) and implementation of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 (IBC) and the Supreme Court's directive on the BS IV legislation, whose effects were greatly felt during the year 2017, kept the economy subdued for better part of the year. The movement of the Indian rupee against the US dollar had been quite erratic, having appreciated sharply in the beginning of the year. Concerns of fiscal slippage at the Central and State Government levels, rising crude oil prices and increase in trade deficit has exerted downward pressure on the rupee. The improvement seen in the Indian Industrial Production (IIP) numbers since the last couple of months suggest that the Indian economy has now moved on a recovery path which is a good indicator of the effectiveness of the above measures. The turnaround of the production cycle, is quite significant because that will bring in investment, which is the most important autonomous driver of growth in a trade deficit economy. All the above steps could give a strong push to private investment and growth. The same is true of public infrastructure projects, which have been a major priority of the present Government.

 

Foundry Industry scenario – Future Outlook

 

Worldwide casting production grew by less than half a percent for the second year in a row in 2016. In 2016, worldwide casting production was 104.4 million metric tons, a near match to 2015's reported 104.1 million metric tons. Casting growth from 2014 to 2015 was 0.4%, and from 2015-2016 it was 0.2%. Of the 32 countries with data for the last two years, 14 reported an uptick in production. The world's top 10 casting producing nations produced 91.6 million metric tons of the total 104.4 million metric tons. China reported a 3.5% increase since 2015, putting its total production at 47.2 million metric tons — 45% of total world casting production. India reported a 5.4% increase in production to 11.35 million metric tons, gaining space ahead of the US, which has seen lower tonnage shipped in 2015 and 2016 compared to 2014.

 

The Indian foundry industry manufactures metal cast components for applications in Auto, Tractor, Railways, Machine tools, Sanitary, Pipe Fittings, Defence, Aerospace, Earth Moving, Textile, Cement, Electrical, Power machinery, Pumps / Valves, Wind turbine generators etc. Foundry Industry has reported a turnover of approximately USD 19 billion, with exports of approximately USD 2.5 billion. However, Grey Iron Castings have the major share i.e. approximately 68% of the total castings produced. Out of nearly 5000 units, 90% of the units are in the small and micro-scale enterprises.
