MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The global economy faced a subdued growth owing to low commodity prices, low inflation rates, stagnant growth in advanced economies and geopolitical and political uncertainties. The global economic growth was at 3.1% and there was modest increase in commodity prices, restrained global trade, bouts of financial market volatility and weakening capital flows

 

Stronger activity, expectations of more robust global demand, reduced deflationary pressures and optimistic financial markets are all upside developments. But structural impediments to a stronger recovery and a balance of risks that remains tilted to the downside, especially over the medium term, remain important challenges.

 

Against the dismal global conditions, the Indian economy’s expansion has been noteworthy. Despite the decline in the growth rate owing to slowdown in manufacturing, decline in budgetary capital expenditure and demonetisation, India continues to be a fastest growing large economy.

 

INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

During the financial year 2016-17, the Indian Economy continued to consolidate the gains achieved in restoring macro-economic stability. Despite the continuing global sluggishness and recent pick-up in petroleum prices, the economic growth has continued to be robust and inflation has remained more or less stable in the current year, while Fiscal Deficit and Current Account Deficit as percentage of GDP have improved. The Growth Rate of the economy declined slightly from 7.6% in the previous year to 7.1% for the financial year 2016-17.

 

The country’s economic growth is facing challenges such as subdued manufacturing, lower exports of services, and lower capital expenditure. However, during FY 2017-18, cheap borrowing costs and fading impact of demonetisation could increase the private consumption and thereby drive the economic growth. The implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) is expected to improve tax compliance and governance an might provide an impetus to the investments and growth in the country

 

Due to favourable indicators such as moderate levels of inflation, reduced Current Account Deficit (CAD), fiscal consolidation and transitory impact of demonetisation, the country is currently characterised as a stable macroeconomic situation, the Government expects India’s GDP to expand at a growth rate between 6.75–7.5 per cent during 2017-18. Over the medium run, the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), follow-up to demonetisation, and enacting other structural reforms should take the economy towards its potential real GDP growth of 8 per cent to 10 per cent.

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Global Lead Industry

 

After a good performance in the last financial year, demand for Lead from Europe could flatten while Chinese demand could grow by 4-5%. The International Lead and Zinc Study Group has reported that the global demand for refined lead metal will be 11.39 Million tons with an increase of 2.3% during the year 2017. After rising by 2.8% in 2016, world refined lead metal production is predicted to increase by a further 2.2% to 11.39 million tons in 2017. This will be primarily a consequence of higher output in China and India with smaller increases forecast in Belgium and the United States where Aqua Metals recently commissioned their new used lead-acid battery recycling plant in Nevada.

 

After increasing by a robust 9.8% in 2016, usage of lead metal in Europe is expected to remain unchanged in 2017. A stable outlook is also foreseen in Japan and the Republic of Korea. In both India and the United States modest growth of 1.5% is predicted.

 

ILZSG forecasts negligible surplus or deficit for the metal in the year 2017. The agency sees a balance year for demand, supply and inventories

 

Lead price outlook in the year 2017-18 will be broadly determined by growth outlook for China and value of US Dollar. Lead prices rallied to $1,895 in March, dropped back to $1,626 and then rallied back to $1,882, which is around where they are now consolidating. A push above the March high would look constructive – it would confirm a base is in place and would open the way for prices to work higher. Given production cuts, mine closures and a generally robust auto market, especially in China and Europe, as well as strong growth in the industrial battery market and relatively low stocks, the fundamental outlook for lead looks sound. Prices have, however, been in no hurry to rally until recently. Lead prices have climbed 22 percent and the market for the Lead remain bullish.

 

Chinese growth in 2017 has exceeded expectations thus gaining back trust of the investors. Despite discontinuance of tax credit on small cars from 01-Jan-2017, its car sales have not showed any dramatic fall. Demand for metal in China remains good. On the other hand, the trend of weakening US Dollar is supporting the metals. So as far as US Central bank keeps the rate hike on slow path, US Dollar could remain weak. Amid stable macro-economic outlook and weak dollar, Lead price could remain in the range of $1900-2400 in the next financial year

 

Indian Lead Industry

Lead demand in India will be strong for the next five years as sales of automobiles grow in the country, BMI Research said in a report. Lead is a primary ingredient for automotive batteries. The strong demand from the automotive sector and zinc-lead mine shutdowns are responsible for the increase in demand. A unit of rating agency Fitch, BMI forecasts the lead market will be minimally undersupplied this year on the back of persistent supply cuts and growing demand from second-tier consumer countries, but the shortfall could quadruple to 70,000 tonnes in 2021.

 

India seems to be potential Lead consuming country as we foresee 10-12% per annum growth in Lead Acid Battery market between 2012 to 2020.The share of new emerging uses of batteries like Solar, E Bike, E Auto will be substantial. By 2020 India should surpass Europe and will be the third largest consumer of Lead with expected demand of over 2.2 million tones. Lead batteries industry in India is currently estimated at INR 400000.000 million with 60% automotive and 40% industrial. Over thousands of players continued recycling in India through recovery of lead from telecom, uninterrupted power supply (UPS), invertors, renewable energy and other related industries.

 

 

COMPANY OUTLOOK

POCL is positive about its growth in the upcoming years as India will lead the demand for lead for the next 5 years as sales of Automobiles grow in the country and Lead is the primary raw material for manufacture of Lead Acid Batteries. POCL increased its annual production of Lead Metal and Alloys from 32,140 MT in the previous year to 46,636 MT in the financial year 2016-17 showing an increase of 45%. The Company’s performance during the year 2016-17 was excellent. The pricing strategies adopted by the Company, inventory management, process efficiency and cost reduction measures lead to a substantial increase in the profitability. With a strong but volatile outlook for the sector, the Company is focused on future growth through expanded production, without losing sight of operational efficiency and cost optimization. The Company forecasts to increase its capacity utilization from 78% in the year 2016-17 to 95% in the year 2017-18. Your Company is exploring to tap the Zinc & Zinc Oxides Market and is likely to commence the production of Zinc and Zinc Oxides from August, 2017
