EDITORIAL

new economic order is taking shape in front of our eyes, as the old Western powers and the emerging world’s major new players converge. But the forces driving this convergence are not those that generations of economists envisaged, but the new best strategies are the ones that have never been thought of by anybody else, this is to say that for all the old, new and the next generation companies to stay ahead, you need to think ahead.

Think ‘ahead’ of your perceived and hidden competitors and think ‘for’ your customers, a strategy which sounds simple, but has many layers and hidden insights concerning all

things important for companies to win. It is very important to accept and acknowledge that a company does not gain at the expense of its competitors or by limiting or cloning its competitor’s strategy, but rather, by crafting or deploying a distinctive strategy that changes the rules of the game in its favour. What wins in the business is not trying to out muscle your competitors with brawn, but rather to outthink those competitors with some serious brain power.

This will enable you to produce a distinctive strategy. Then again there is a need for strategic thinking, which sets out a vision of where your company is going. Use this as your basis for making appropriate choices and plans. Clarify what your company is, and is not, to avoid becoming scattered and overextended. Every leader of a company must carefully choose what game to play, and how to craft a strategy to make and shape the rules. How to use strategic thinking is today’s most important management tool, to put your company on a growth-oriented path to the future.

It is very important to find out how to overcome the key obstacles to strategic thinking; craft a future profile for your organisation; articulate a meaningful business concept; utilise strategic leverage; make competition practically irrelevant; benefit from product innovation & market fragmentation and avoid mistakes when making alliances and acquisitions, all this will help you outthink, outsmart & outpace your competitors.

In the automated world, it’s still the human angle that dominates the thought process and strategies for success. In the race to win customer confidence, companies must ensure that they make the customer come back for more. Focus on delivering high-quality services that meet the needs of key customers is critical. Producing innovative solutions comes from a number of actions — closer relationships with supply chain partners, making corporate acquisitions relevant to better meeting the needs of customers and investing in & developing relationships with existing and new generation of consumers for your product or service, all underpin a commitment to innovation. Another critical human angle is the workforce that has the potential to make or mar the fortunes of a company. Building the right leadership and creating the best team is fundamental to success.

All this and more will help you position yourself among the best in class, if you are already doing these things, chances are that you are a part of this envious listing of Top 500 Manufacturing Companies, if not, the analysis of what makes these winning companies tick will get you there.

So read on and go ahead… Outthink, Outsmart, Outpace your competitor!

FOREWORD

DR DograMD & CEO, CARE Ltd.

he World Economic Outlook suggests moderation in global growth to about 4% through CY2012 from over 5% in CY2010. Th e real GDP in developed economies is anticipated to expand at about 1.9% in CY2012, while emerging/developing ones are anticipated to expand at 6.1%. Th e macroeconomic situation in India is currently subdued as refl ected by the decline in various indicators like GDP, IIP, export trends, etc. Th e Indian manufacturing sector grew at 3.7% in April-October, 2011, as compared to 9.4% in the last year. Hence, for the current fi scal, CARE estimates the GDP growth would be in the range of 7.1% to 7.4%, lower than 8.6% clocked in the previous fi scal.

IIP capital goods have registered a sharp drop of 25.5% in October, 2011, on the back of a slowdown in investments because of rising interest rates and slowdown in demand. Th ese factors have inevitably dragged down production in the manufacturing sector and are expected to have an impact in the coming months as well. Further, FY12 continues to be marked by concerns such as those emanating from the European debt crisis, global currency wars, etc. However, resilient domestic consumption followed by diversifi cation of businesses to new geographical areas would help India arrest the decline to some extent. India, with its vast domestic consumption, remains a more resilient economy and one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

CARE Research, as the Ratings Partner for SEARCH magazine, has developed a comprehensive methodology to bring out the leaders and rank the ‘Top-500 Indian Manufacturing Companies’ for the third consecutive year. Th e various parameters on which the companies were assessed on included: size of the company, profi tability, capital structure and return to the investor community. Th e research methodology is explained in detail in this issue and reinforces the fact that the companies, which strategically tackled the tidal waves of economic uncertainty, also paced faster than others to gain from the economic growth and achieved a higher rank than the rest in the rankings.

Going forward, apart from scalability, sustainability would be the mantra for success for the Indian manufacturing industry.

UROZONELast quarter, the biggest issues facing the global economy were the crisis in the Eurozone and uncertainty about the path of US monetary and fiscal policy. Well, nothing seems to have changed. These remain the big issues. And yet,

much has indeed changed. In Europe, the members of the Eurozone agreed on a new package for assisting Greece, only to find that financial market stress kept getting worse as market participants doubted the

package would be sufficient. The fortune of the Eurozone depends crucially on whether -

and how fast - a convincing solution to the debt crisis can be found and implemented. Fears of a Greek default

and its contagion effect, including the possibility of an ensuing banking crisis, hang over the economy

like the sword of Damocles. Leaders are currently trying to solve three key issues: Dealing decisively with Greece while

firewalling other, less-affected fringe nations Establishing a mechanism for a functioning European bond market by giving the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) more money and more power Putting the announced plans on fiscal and

macroeconomic surveillance and enforcement into action. Eurozone growth is slowing. Sentiment has

deteriorated over the summer amid signs of weakening global demand and disappointed hopes of solving the

sovereign debt crisis. This is a crucial time for Europe. If Eurozone leaders act decisively to stabilise financial markets and turn

their plans for closer cooperation into action, it could halt the downward spiral of deteriorating confidence and weakening activity. Real economic

Global economic activity weakened in the fi rst half of 2011. In advanced economies, the recovery was dragged down by the continued fragility in private sector balance sheets, as fi nancial markets were buffeted by a series of shocks, including greater Euro area sovereign risks and the credit downgrade of the US. Tracking the impact of these on the emerging economies, here’s analysing the prospects that the global economy holds...

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

indicators are not yet indicating a recession, but markets remain unsettled by deteriorating sentiment and speculation about the future of the monetary union.

THE UNITED STATESIn the United States, it is likely that job growth failed to materialise, in part, because the private sector faced increased costs associated with regulatory oversight in health care, financial services, and energy. Add to this, the increase in government spending that was used to fund short-term consumption, shifting wealth from the future into the present. And finally, the Federal Reserve’s high-risk but ultimately unsuccessful second round of quantitative easing increased oil and food prices but did little to stimulate real growth.

The first piece of hard data that argues in favor of a recession can be found in the most recent readings on US Gross Domestic Product (GDP). While the 2007–2009 recession was more severe than previously advertised, the new data also showed that real GDP growth in the second quarter was up just 1.5% from a year ago. Since 1947, there have been 14 occasions when real GDP growth slowed below 2%. In 11 of those cases, the economy fell into a recession, which puts the historical probability at 78%.

The second development that raises the risk of a recession in the United States is the European debt crisis and a corresponding recession that would follow it. A recession in Europe would wash back into the US economy in several ways, including trade, industrial production, corporate profitability, and banking. The European Union is a major trading partner for the United States, accounting for $259 billion in exports, which is roughly 12% of the $1.9 trillion in total US exports. During the 2008–2009 recession, exports to the EU fell sharply from a peak of $272 billion to $220 billion, a peak-to-trough decline of 19.1% over a fifteen month period. Even with a recovery, the US exports to the EU are still 4.9% below their mid-2008 peak.

Another recession in Europe would have a comparable drag on US exports. A comparable decline to what happened in 2008–2009 would bring US exports down to $210 billion. Since Europe would not be the only place from which US exports would decline, the trade sector would become a drag on growth.

US businesses are going into this recession with much stronger balance sheets and much leaner operations than in 2008. Cash levels and productivity are substantially higher. With leaner operations, layoffs and inventory reduction will not create the kind of downdraft for the broader macro economy that they did in 2008. On the downside, the policy options available to address the recession are much more limited today than they were in 2008. Back-to-back stimulus programs in 2009 and 2010 in excess of $800 billion are unthinkable today. A third round of quantitative

easing is possible, but it will be controversial and given the effectiveness of the previous round, may be of limited value. Weaker exports, a decline in business investment, and contracting manufacturing will likely combine to push an economy that is operating at stall speed into a recession.

UNITED KINGDOMConsistent with the other large industrialised countries, UK growth slowed sharply in the second quarter (although, in the case of the UK, activity was somewhat depressed by timing effects and by the impact of Japan’s tsunami and earthquake). UK domestic fundamentals have weakened, but the big change has been in the global environment. The Eurozone debt crisis created fears of a vicious spiral of sovereign and bank defaults. One consequence has been the virtual closure of corporate bond and bank term funding markets to new issuance.

Confidence about global growth has waned. Consensus forecasts for GDP growth have declined across the industrialised world. The UK consumer sector remains weak with spending under pressure from a severe squeeze on real incomes. Over the last year, real personal disposable incomes have fallen by almost 3%, the fastest rate of decline in this indicator of consumer spending power since 1976. With consumer borrowing growing at single-digit rates, credit has been unable to fill the gap. Over the last year, retail spending has hardly increased, and house prices have fallen. Mortgage approvals, a key leading indicator for housing activity, remain at historically low levels.

Much will hinge on the speed and effectiveness of the response from European policymakers to the crisis in the Euro area. A combination of monetary ease in the UK and abroad should help bolster growth next year. So, too, will sharply lower inflation; UK inflation is widely expected to almost halve over the next 12 months, and this will support consumer spending power. But the UK’s fortunes are heavily dependent on events in the Euro area. Financial stress, as Lehman’s failure demonstrated, can spread contagiously. Disruption to demand in the Euro area would hit the UK’s largest export market. Introducing another round of quantitative easing in the UK is politically and technically straightforward, but finding a solution to the problems of the Euro area is precisely the opposite.

RUSSIAAt long last, the political situation in Russia has clarity. It was announced that Prime Minister Putin will return as president in March 2012, exchanging jobs with President Medvedev. This means that, in theory, Putin could be president for the next 12 years since the constitution would allow this. Yet, clarity about who occupies which chair does not imply clarity about the policy outlook, which remains uncertain. And it could be that uncertainty pertaining to

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

policy has contributed to a declining value of the ruble. In the past few years, Russia has experienced almost $250 billion in capital flight, given the weak global economy and a perception of poor investment opportunities at home. Such flight puts downward pressure on the currency.

Unfortunately, a slowing global economy and dampening oil prices will not be helpful. Instead, the economy will mostly have to rely on domestic demand. While consumer spending is doing well, fixed asset investment is not growing at a speed that would offset a slowdown in exports. On the positive side, consumer spending continues to rise, given rising real wages and greater access to consumer credit. Also, it is widely expected that fiscal policy will be more expansive in the months leading up to the election in March. This expectation is based on the fact that similar policy shifts have taken place in the past. Fiscal expansion will likely have a positive impact on economic activity.

Also on the positive side is the fact that inflation is not accelerating. The central bank tightened monetary policy during the first half of 2011, but it left policy unchanged since May. This tightening, combined with declining global food and energy prices, has caused inflation to peak below 10%. In addition, it is expected that inflation will gradually decline in the coming year. However, a steep drop in the value of the ruble could have an inflationary impact.

As for monetary policy, the deceleration of inflation provides the central bank room for engaging in more aggressive policy, should the economic slowdown become onerous. On the other hand, while the central bank does not explicitly target the exchange rate, a declining ruble could restrain the bank from cutting interest rates.

BRAZILBrazil’s central bank has chosen a new path. After a two year period of raising interest rates in order to fight rising inflation, the bank suddenly and unexpectedly cut the critical Selic rate in August. The changing fortunes of the global economy have caused the central bank to rethink its policy in light of a new outlook.

Going forward, it seems likely that interest rates will be cut further. After all, the inflation-adjusted interest rate remains fairly high by global standards. A lower rate will help maintain a satisfactory level of business investment. In addition, the rate of inflation is expected to decline as the economy slows and, especially, as commodity prices stabilize. Thus, a looser monetary policy is likely to be beneficial.

The Brazilian economy will probably grow more slowly in the coming year than it did recently. The lagged effect of tight monetary policy and a high valued currency will take its toll on growth. Yet the new policy of lower rates, combined with a declining currency, will help boost investment and exports. Foreign direct investment is likely to be strong given expectations about Brazil’s long-term future.

The big uncertainty concerns the impact of the global economy on Brazil. A severe recession in Europe emanating from a partial collapse of the Eurozone would certainly have a negative impact on Brazil. Moreover, a global slowdown could have a significantly negative impact on commodity prices, which in turn, would hurt Brazil’s export revenue.

MEXICOAt the turn of this century, Mexico was Latin America’s largest economy. Its prospects were akin to those of the BRIC nations. However, as the BRICs’ marched ahead, Mexico, it seems, lost its way. Despite being an uppermiddle-income nation, Mexico continues to grapple with widespread income inequality and poverty. Between 2000 and 2010, Brazil’s economy grew at an average rate of 3.7% compared to Mexico’s 2%. Today, Brazil’s economy is larger than Mexico and growing at a faster pace. While the outlook for China, India, and Russia is much more favorable, Mexico finds itself caught in the crossfire of violent drug cartels and the prospect of an economic slowdown for its major trading partner, the United States. Yet, Mexico has tremendous potential and if policymakers tackle the country’s challenges effectively, the economy could blossom once again.

The economy will be constrained by declining oil output (due to underinvestment), poor business investment, and the likelihood of an unstable environment due to widespread violence. If remittances continue to increase, it could potentially boost domestic demand and positively impact the local economy. Higher consumer spending will likely benefit the retail industry as more people transition into the middle class. If demand from the United States strengthens, the export sector will be boosted. With elections due this year, tackling security concerns and making Mexico’s economic environment conducive for large-scale foreign and domestic investment will be high on the agenda.

ASIAThe increased uncertainty over the global outlook and greater risk aversion in financial markets spilled over to Asia in August and September 2011, with leveraged investors liquidating profitable positions in the region to cover their losses elsewhere. As a result, many Asian financial and currency markets experienced declines of magnitudes similar to those experienced in mid 2010.

After a strong start in the first quarter of 2011, economic activity in Asia has also moderated (Figure 1.1). Sluggish demand in advanced economies and supply chain disruptions after the tragic March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan led to a broad-based decline in industrial production and export growth across Asia. High frequency indicators, including manufacturing purchasing managers’ indices (PMI) and export orders, suggest that the moderation of activity continued in the third quarter of 2011.

22 SEARCH - THE INDUSTRIAL SOURCEBOOK | J A N U A R Y 2 0 1 2

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

By contrast, Asian domestic demand has proven generally resilient in 2011. Employment gains and real wage growth supported private consumption, and high capacity utilisation boosted private investment. Financial conditions have remained accommodative in most of Asia, as increases in interest rates were offset partly by higher inflation in some economies (such as Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand), and real effective exchange rates have generally not strengthened during 2011, except in a few commodity exporters, including Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand, as well as in Korea & Singapore. By contrast, monetary policy normalisation and slowing credit growth have contributed to tighter financial conditions in China and India.

Notwithstanding the moderation in growth, inflationary pressures across the Asia-Pacific region remain elevated. Headline inflation continued to increase in most economies and averaged 5.5% (year over year) in July 2011, as compared

with 4.6% in January. In particular, inflation has continued to rise in China, Hong Kong SAR, Korea & Vietnam, and remains above central banks’ explicit or implicit targets in many cases. Inflation has been driven by commodity prices, but also in many economies by sustained demand pressures. Indeed, core inflation has increased in Hong Kong SAR, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia and Thailand, as second-round effects of previous commodity price rises have fed through to generalised inflationary pressures.

Inflation expectations have also risen since the first quarter of 2011 in a number of economies. In contrast to the rest of the region, Japan’s deflationary pressures persisted, with core inflation that excludes food and energy prices still in negative territory as of July 2011.

DYNAMICS AND COMPOSITION OF GROWTHThe dynamics and composition of growth in 2011 have

varied across Asia: In much of industrial Asia, economic activity has been

significantly influenced by natural disasters. In Japan, the earthquake and tsunami led to a sharp contraction in domestic demand. In Australia, cyclones and flooding disrupted mineral output, although strong global demand for coal and iron pushed the terms of trade to 60-year highs and supported private investment. New Zealand’s economy, however, continued to expand despite the impact of the January 2011 earthquake.

In East Asia, growth has been held up by strong domestic demand. In China, gains in wages employment supported private consumption, whereas strong private investment, including real estate investment, offset a slowdown in public investment. Growing financial and economic integration with the mainland helped cushion Hong Kong SAR and Taiwan Province of China against weaker

external demand from advanced economies. In Korea, continuing easy financial conditions and wage growth supported private domestic demand. In several ASEAN economies, strong domestic

demand, particularly investment, helped mitigate the slowdown in export growth. In addition, commodity exporters, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, benefitted from the rise in commodity prices through mid-2011. Inflation concerns have persisted in Vietnam. In South Asia, private consumption remained

robust in India on account of rising disposable income, but investment was subdued partly on concerns over governance and the global outlook. In Bangladesh, buoyant credit growth amid a still-accommodative monetary stance continued to fuel domestic demand, while in Sri Lanka activity benefitted from greater political stability. In Nepal, domestic demand was subdued on investor concerns

over banking system fragilities and a decline in remittances from the Middle East.

In other low-income countries and Pacific Island economies, commodity exporters such as Mongolia and Papua New Guinea benefitted from high mineral prices in the first half of 2011, and new garment quotas in European markets contributed to buoyant exports in Cambodia. In Mongolia, growth has also been fuelled by expansionary macroeconomic policies, which boosted underlying inflation above the authorities’ target. However, in a number of Pacific Island economies, high commodity prices continued to weigh on growth, although the strong Australian dollar boosted tourism flows.Net capital flows into emerging Asia have moderated

so far in 2011 relative to 2010, following the sharp rise in global risk aversion. Within the region, however, there are large disparities — in the first half of 2011, capital

China’s economic growth is decelerating because of the weakening global economy and tightened monetary policy. Overall debt has nearly tripled in the last fi ve years and signifi cant investments in fi xed assets may loom heavily over China’s longer term.

hina’s economy is decelerating. In September, the purchasing managers’ indices for output

and exports were below 50 for a third month in a row, which has not happened since 2009. Still, the indices

barely slipped below 50, indicating that the decline in manufacturing is moderate. Moreover, China’s central bank has stopped tightening policy given the latest global slowdown. Therefore, although China’s economy

will slow down, deceleration will likely be less-than-dramatic. On the other hand, it is notable that a senior Chinese official recently predicted that growth in 2012 would be below 9%. If this prediction materialises, it would be the

inflows remained strong in China, thus reflecting increased borrowing by mainland firms from Hong Kong SAR, and in India & Indonesia, where strong growth prospects and interest rate differentials attracted large equity and bond inflows, respectively. In East Asia (excluding China) and Singapore, however, concerns about slowing growth led to net capital outflows. Although direct investment and banking inflows to Asia have been relatively resilient, equity and bond inflows have been volatile, with equity recording sharp outflows since August 2011.

GROWTH FORECAST Looking ahead, for the region, growth is forecast to average 6¼% in 2011 and 6¾% in 2012. The somewhat weaker growth forecast for Asia mainly reflects the deteriorating outlook for exports to advanced economies. The impact would be smaller for domestic demand-based economies, such as China, India & Indonesia and larger for highly open economies that specialise in income-sensitive, high-tech consumer and investment goods, such as Korea, Singapore and Taiwan Province of China. Adverse regional supply chain disruptions are not expected to play a major role in the future, as Japanese production in key sectors returned to normal levels.

The fundamentals for domestic demand in the region remain strong and are expected to cushion the impact of weaker external demand on overall growth in 2012: In Industrial Asia, reconstruction investment will be the

main driver of domestic demand growth in Japan, while investment in mining will propel growth in Australia.

In East Asia, more spending on social housing is expected to support investment in China. Moreover, accommodative

financial conditions and high capacity utilisation should boost private investment in Korea, while strong employment is expected to sustain private consumption in Hong Kong SAR.

In more advanced ASEAN economies, in addition to favourable labour market conditions and high capacity utilisation, greater public investment projects will provide an additional boost to domestic demand in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore. In Thailand, the new government is seeking to stimulate domestic demand through measures to increase disposable income and private investment.

In India, robust disposable income growth (including from high agricultural prices) and accommodative financial conditions are expected to support private consumption and investment.Headline inflation is expected to decelerate gradually in

2012. But inflation is expected to remain above the midpoint of the target range in most Asian economies, as commodity prices fall only slightly, domestic demand pressures persist and inflation spillovers from key regional economies remain elevated. The September 2011 World Economic Outlook, (WEO) projects fuel and nonfuel commodity price inflation in 2012 to recede by 3.5% and 4.5%, respectively – a mild deceleration relative to the sharp run up in 2010-11.

Moreover, output gaps in many Asian economies will remain positive in 2012. Finally, inflation in China is expected to settle at levels that, while lower than the peak in 2011, are higher than in the recent past – with spillovers to inflation in the rest of Asia.

Let’s take a look at the fortunes of major Asian economies in the near-term:

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

first year since 2001 that growth falls below 9%. These comments reflect a belief that a combination of monetary policy tightening and reduced global growth will cause the Chinese economy to grow more slowly.

Interestingly, there is an evidence that the economic slowdown is being experienced principally by small- to medium-sized private businesses and not by the large, state-run enterprises that retain favourable access to credit. After all, imports of oil and iron ore rose significantly in August. The biggest source of recent growth has been fixed asset investment, especially construction. The importation of iron ore, used to make steel, indicates ongoing strength in construction. Meanwhile, a deceleration in exports is the prime cause of the economic slowdown. While the strength of construction is good in the short term, it means that China continues to over-build.

EXCESSIVE DEBT China’s officials have complained about the rapid expansion of US Government debt. This reflects fear that the massive stock of foreign currency reserves held by China’s Government could lose value. Less attention, however, has been paid to the big increase in overall debt in China itself. Yet, that is likely to change soon, given the fact that overall debt has nearly tripled in the past five years.

HOW DID IT COME TO THIS?When the global economic crisis began in 2008 and China’s exports suddenly dropped, the government implemented a vast stimulus programme to boost domestic demand and offset the drop in exports. Part of this involved extending credit to provincial and local governments to engage in infrastructure development. In the short run, this policy was successful in boosting growth and preventing a general recession. The problem, however, is that many such investments have failed

to generate adequate returns. The Chinese Government estimates that little more than one quarter of local government investment has produced a return adequate to service the debts.

Furthermore, local government borrowing is not the entire problem. During the global crisis, the government injected capital into state-run banks so that they could lend to state-run companies. The result was an investment boom. Yet this also involved many investments that are not producing an adequate return. The result was that investment in fixed assets surged, reaching almost 50% of last year’s GDP.

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE RISK?Is China at risk of having a financial crisis? On one hand, there is a danger that a new round of defaults will damage the solvency of China’s state-run banking system. Yet, it is likely that the government would bail out such banks and thereby prevent a larger financial crisis. Moreover, due to capital controls, China’s financial system is not integrated into the global economy. Therefore, a problem in China’s banks would not lead to problems outside China.

On the other hand, China does face a risk. Specifically, if the government were compelled to bail out troubled financial institutions, it would probably not support continued lending for the purpose of poorly conceived investments. Consequently, investment would likely fall considerably. Given that investment is now close to 50% of GDP, such a fall could have serious consequences for GDP without an offsetting increase in something else. What could that something else be?

Exports are not likely to take up slack. With a rising currency, slower growth overseas, and rising wages at China’s factories, it seems likely that export growth will be slow in the next few years. In this scenario, China will likely look towards a boost in consumer spending to offset a decline

in investment, but it would have to grow rapidly to make a difference and avoid a significant slowdown, given that consumer spending is now only 35% of GDP.

WHAT COULD GO RIGHT?There are some positive signs concerning the prospect for boosting consumer spending. First, wages have been rising, adding to real, disposable incomes. This reflects a shortage of labour as demographic trends limit the labour force’s growth and as internal migration slows. In addition, provincial and local governments have been increasing their minimum wages. Second, the government intends to have state-run companies pay higher dividends to shareholders. In doing so, this will reduce retained earnings and therefore, the impetus to invest. Third, higher inflation will help reduce some of the real value of the debts in question. On the other hand, high inflation means that real interest rates are largely negative, thereby fuelling continued borrowing. Also, high inflation means that the real value of the currency is rising quickly, thereby hurting export competitiveness. So, a slowdown in exports could become more pronounced.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?It is safe to say that China is slowing down. In addition, the excessive debt-financed investment of recent years will likely lead to challenges somewhere down the road. In that situation, economic growth will decelerate. How much it slows will depend on a variety of factors, including how the government responds to such an event. In any event, an economic slowdown in China will have global ramifications. A Chinese slowdown will remove pressure on global commodity prices and reduce export growth for China’s major trading partners. Domestically, slower growth could remove some of the upward pressure on wages and prices.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

n a world of slowing economic growth, Japan is the exception. In fact, the country can

reasonably expect that growth will soon accelerate — at least for a while. The silver lining of a natural disaster is the extra spending that boosts economic growth, but the positive impact of reconstruction spending has not met expectations. Challenges remain for the Japanese economy.

In the second quarter of 2011, the economy contracted at a rate of 2%. This third consecutive quarter of declining GDP was, in part, due to the negative impact of the earthquake and tsunami. While many analysts anticipated a strong boost to economic growth in the second half of 2011, the latest numbers suggest slower growth than expected. The Tankan index of sentiment at large manufacturing companies rose from -9 in the second quarter to +2 in the third quarter. A positive reading means that there are more optimists than pessimists among the surveyed executives. The current reading is still lower than in March, just before the earthquake. Japan is recovering, but the pace is underwhelming. This is likely due to slower overseas growth, a high-valued yen and slower than expected reconstruction spending.

The rising value of the yen is taking its toll on the industrial sector. While the automotive sector is recovering from damage to its supply chain, the major players are planning to

shift production capacity offshore in order to avoid the impact of an overvalued currency. The strong yen reflects several factors, including the repatriation of overseas funds for the purpose of reconstruction. It is also due to the perception of Japan as a safe haven for financial assets in a time of global turmoil. Although the return on Japanese assets is very low, global investors do not perceive them to be at risk of outright failure.

Still, despite troubles in Japan’s export sector, the country will probably grow faster in 2012 than either Europe or the US. This case would be different sans the earthquake or tsunami; reconstruction spending will make a significant difference.

In September, the Japanese Government proposed its third reconstruction budget of 12 trillion yen — roughly $160 billion, which is about twice of what has already been budgeted. This brings the total to about $240 billion. The big debate has been over how to finance this expenditure. The current government has indicated a preference for tax increases so as to not substantially increase the already large debt. As such, it is likely that there will be an increase in the consumption tax. This will have some negative impact on consumer spending. In addition to increasing the consumption tax, the government plans to sell assets such as shares in Japan Tobacco to fund reconstruction.

Interestingly, the government’s

deficit was already projected to be 8% of the GDP even before the earthquake. Reconstruction costs, by adding an estimated 4% of GDP, will not have a big impact on overall debt, even if it is financed by borrowing. Meanwhile, despite the government’s plans for fiscal rectitude, Moody’s has again downgraded Japan’s sovereign debt. This action had little impact on the market for Japanese Government bonds, which continue to offer among the lowest rates of return in the world. While Moody’s was evidently concerned about the fact that government debt has reached 200% of GDP, there are other mitigating factors. For example, 95% of that debt is held domestically. In addition, Japan continues to have a very high rate of savings, so financing government deficits is not a problem.

Interestingly, Japanese monetary policy has been relatively aggressive this year; the Bank of Japan is engaged in quantitative easing on a surprisingly large scale, but perhaps it has not been large enough. The currency continues to rise, and inflation continues to be very low. One of the purposes of a round of quantitative easing is to boost expectations of inflation. Higher inflation can have the effect of boosting spending, reducing real interest rates and reducing the real value of debts. However, retail sales are declining, business investment fell in the second quarter and inflation remains close to zero. Thus, the real level of debt has

Japan: On theBright side…

The Japanese economy is one of the few economic bright spots in a world that is experiencing slower growth. Japan is recovering from a natural disaster and additional spending will likely accelerate the Japanese economy next year. However, slower overseas growth, a high-valued yen and slower than expected reconstruction spending, are introducing obstacles to the country’s economic prospects.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

Indian policymakers are trying to curb the rapidly rising infl ation and simultaneously sustain growth despite a weakening global economy. GDP growth may continue to hover around 7.5% for the current fi scal year.

ver the past two years, India has experienced one of the highest inflation rates in major

emerging markets. High food inflation and fears of a lack of meaningful fiscal intervention have compelled the central bank to increase interest rates in order to pursue lower prices at the expense of growth. The central bank’s latest tightening in September – the 12th since March 2010 – comes in the wake of fears of a global recession and the possibility of debt defaults in some Eurozone countries. While some critics of the central bank say that the bank has been too slow in reacting to inflation and has not been bold enough with its rate increases, several others lament the rising cost of capital and falling domestic demand. While the debate regarding India’s monetary policy rages on, it is becoming increasingly likely that the Indian Government will not meet its fiscal deficit target for the year. While policymakers tinker with policy tools, the Indian economy is on course to achieve over 7% growth this fiscal year.

INFLATION STAYS HIGHInflation continues to be the key issue

for Indian policymakers. In a bold move to curb inflation, the central bank raised interest rates by 50 bps in July and by another 25 bps in September. Despite recent rate increases, inflation came in at over 9% in July and hit a 13-month high of 9.8% in August. Food inflation, despite hitting a 20-month low of 7.3% in July, settled at 9.1% in September. That food inflation continues to be an issue, despite a good harvest in the 2010-11 season and normal rainfall this year, is a clear indication that structural issues and supply-side bottlenecks that plague the Indian agricultural sector will remain for some time to come. Fuel inflation is beginning to exert upward pressure on headline inflation as well. While the inflationary impact of the rise in fuel prices is worrisome, what is interesting is the fact that the latest price increase was the result of the depreciating rupee against the dollar on imports of crude oil.

THE EXTERNAL SECTOR With policymakers wrestling to control inflation and sustain growth in the context of a weak global

economy, the rupee hit new lows as global funds chase better prospects for growth. The falling rupee is a serious cause of consternation for importers, oil companies included. At the same time, while one would normally expect a weaker rupee to benefit exporters, a shaky global recovery means exporters may not be able to take advantage of the opportunity for cost arbitrage in the coming months.

CONSUMPTION IS BAD, BUT INDUSTRY IS WORSEInterest rate hikes have finally begun to put the brakes on GDP growth in India. GDP growth for the first three months of 2011 came in at 7.8%, as compared to a growth of 9.4% in the corresponding quarter of 2010. Figures for the quarter that ended July further corroborate the slowdown in growth. GDP grew at 7.7% as compared to 8.8% the previous year. What is

not improved.Going forward, Japan continues to

face several downside risks despite the anticipated boost from reconstruction spending. The global economic

slowdown is the first among these risks as it will have a negative impact on export growth. Domestically, major challenges include a slower than expected revival of electricity generating

capacity, uncertainty about the future of Japan’s nuclear programme, political uncertainty, a continued high rate of savings, and long-term problems related to demographics.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

data from the recent quarter is that investment increased almost 8%.

High interest rates, combined with a potential liquidity challenge in the second half of the year, could ensure that investment drops off once again as the year progresses. The Central Government recently announced that it will need to borrow 13% more than what it budgeted for the current fiscal year primarily due to a reduction in funds available through national savings accounts; there has been an exodus of funds from national saving accounts toward accounts in banks as they offer higher interest rates. This mopping up of funds from the market, although unlikely to add to the fiscal deficit, could crowd out investment from the private sector and increase the cost of borrowing for both government as well as private sector borrowers. However, the central bank is likely to be called upon to buy government bonds from the market in order to infuse

liquidity and this could, in turn, add to inflation.

Consumer demand has taken a hit, and growth in rate sensitive sectors has been weak in the last two quarters. Still, relatively speaking, domestic consumption is robust and is likely to act as a buffer for the economy in the event of further global economic turbulence. However, it is important to note that policymakers are currently grappling with high inflation.

Both the finance minister and the head of the central bank believe that current levels of food inflation are a matter of grave concern, and another hike in interest rates is a possibility. That being said, we could also be very close to the end of the rate increases. Until there is a clear indication that interest rates will stabilise, business confidence is likely to continue to drop. Private investment is expected to slow down in the coming months as well.

A LOOK AHEADThe challenges that face Indian policymakers are, to a large extent, the same as they were a year ago. Inflation shows no signs of abating, and another interest rate hike is a possibility, but the end of the cycle of rate increases is probably very close. Consumer demand is likely to continue to slow down as monetary policy kicks in with some lag. Consequently, GDP growth may slow down further and may hover around 7.5% for the current fiscal year. The fiscal deficit is unlikely to meet the target level of 4.6% of GDP. Since a significant portion of the deficit is funded through funds from the central bank, money supply in the economy will continue to increase and exert upward pressure on inflation.

RANKING METHODOLOGY

TOP 500TOP 500Uncertain global economic conditions coupled with rising infl ationary trends are posing a threat to India Inc.’s stupendous growth journey. Withstanding such external as well as internal shocks is our pack of Top 500 Manufacturing Companies who have demonstrated to the world their mettle & might in true sense & spirit. Notably so, ranking these companies while taking all the fundamental aspects into consideration can never be an easy feat. Carefully crafting the most transparent methodology, we trace the inspirational journey of India Inc.’s most sought after manufacturing companies…

he l ist ing and analysis of the Top 500 Manufacturing Companies is an ode to those, who, by virtue of

their grit & determination, have set enviable benchmarks when it comes to not only the financial performance, but also imbibing societal values and ethics. These are the companies who believe in leading by examples and setting milestones for emerging companies. In order to ensure a just & fair ranking, utmost care was taken while developing a step-by-step approach by taking each and every parameter into consideration. The process is as follows:

SELECTION CRITERIAThe classification of manufacturing companies from non-manufacturing companies is based on “The Central Excise Tariff Act 1985”. Also, companies wherein their core business activities do not contribute to excise payments have been excluded. However, the manufacturing companies with operation set up in excise exemption zones like SEZs and EPZs have been considered. Only the entities listed on BSE or NSE have been considered.

CLASSIFICATION & ASSUMPTIONSThe ranking is based on the consolidated results of the company. In cases, where the company does not have any subsidiary or latest data for consolidated results are not available,

the standalone results are assumed as consolidated results. The listed subsidiaries of the company qualifying the ranking criteria as detailed above have been excluded. Those companies having negative shareholder’s funds have also been excluded. The ratios as well as other company financials in absolute terms have been sourced through the database – CMIE Prowess. For the purpose of ranking, the annual financials of the companies has been sourced as available in the said database uptill December 4, 2011.

A STEP-WISE APPROACHStep 1: A two-tier weighting methodology was used to rank the companies. Step 2: Based on parameters selected and weightage specified for the same, ranking for each group was arrived at.Step 3: Each group was assigned a specific weightage to arrive at a weighted value for consolidating said values from all four groups.Step 4: The summation of weighted values for all four groups was then sorted in descending order to arrive at the final ranking.

The relevance of selection of the parameters with the weightage so appropriated has been detailed below. Size Net sales: Net sales is equivalent to

the sales of goods – excise duty paid. Any manufacturing concern is

primarily recognised by its size and the same can well be reflected through the company’s sales activity. Herein, ‘net sales’ has been preferred over ‘gross sales’ as the latter includes collection of excise duty from customers as applicable to the company’s products. Thus, a higher levy of excise duty for the company’s products would inflate the company’s gross sales. The net sales figure ignores the levy of excise and reflects the value of goods sold with a mark-up on cost.

Analytical observation: Higher the sales, higher the ranking. Profit after tax (PAT): PAT is

equivalent to PBDITA – Depreciation – Interest – Tax paid.PAT value determines earnings of

the company post operating expenses, interest, depreciation, other non-operating expenses & tax. It reflects the company’s ability to recover its overall expenses (operating as well as non-operating) through a mark-up on the cost of goods manufactured. A company registering high sales, but still recording negative PAT figures is probably not prospering as the expenses are still left unrecovered.

Analytical observation: Higher the PAT, higher the ranking. Net Fixed Assets: Net fixed assets is

equivalent to gross fixed assets – depreciation. This reflects the book value of assets

owned by the company in the form of plants & equipment, land & buildings

RANKING METHODOLOGY

(required for factory & office space), furniture & fixtures and intangible assets such as goodwill, etc. In case of manufacturing companies, the presence of fixed assets is essential to ensure the smooth flow of the production process. This is also a parameter of a company’s size as it broadly captures the capacity available for the production of the company’s products.

Analytical observation: Higher the net fixed assets, higher the ranking.Profitability PBDITA margin %: PBDITA

margin is equivalent to PBDITA / total income. The PBDITA ratio captures the

actual operating efficiency of a business as it ignores the financing cost and the capital charges (depreciation). The same can either be reflected through higher sales realisations (with a greater mark-up on cost), lower cost of operations or a combined mix of both. As PBDITA is calculated after excluding expenses such as raw material costs, other manufacturing expenses and labour/employee costs, the strategy of the company with regards to sourcing of raw materials also gets captured.

Analytical observation: Higher the PBDITA margin, higher the ranking. Return on capital employed (ROCE)

%: ROCE is equivalent to PBIT / average capital employed. This indicator measures the

company’s ability to generate returns in relation to the capital employed. ROCE can also be considered as a measure of efficiency as it gauges profitability in relation to the amount of capital employed. ROCE is particularly useful to analyse the performance in capital-intensive sectors as it reflects on whether the capital is employed in productive assets. In cases where the capital is not employed in righteous areas, the company’s revenue will be impacted leading to a decline in ROCE. Another aspect of decline in ROCE could be viewed from the increasing expenses of the company (including both operating and non-

operating expenses barring interest & tax outflow) thereby resulting in lower profits despite better sales performance. Optimally, from the industry’s parlance, the ROCE should be greater than the total cost of borrowings (cost of equity + cost of debt) for the company.

Analytical observation: Higher the ROCE, higher the ranking.Equity valuation Return on net worth (RONW) %:

RONW is equivalent to PAT / average net worth. This indicator measures the

company’s ability to generate returns

in relation to the company’s net worth. Since net worth comprises of equity share capital, the preferred share capital and the various reserves accumulated by the company over the years, it can be referred to the shareholders’ money. This parameter is therefore of utmost significance for the investor community who can gauge the performance of the company based on RONW. Similar to ROCE, this indicator measures the efficiency of the company in generating returns (operating & non-operating) over and above the total expenses (operating & non-operating). However, such returns are measured as against the shareholders’ capital as opposed to the total capital employed as in case of ROCE.

Analytical observation: Higher the RONW, higher the ranking. 365-day average market capitalisation:

Market capitalisation is equivalent to share price x number of shares outstanding.The average relates to the 365-day

period ending December 16, 2010. In the ranking methodology, the 365-day average market capitalisation has been used as against the market

capitalisation of a stock on a particular day. This is in view of the fact that stock markets have been and are always volatile in nature and quoting the indicator as on a particular day may well distort the company’s standing in the market in relation to other equities comprising our list. This indicator stands as a ‘status symbol’ for the listed companies with the company leading the market capitalisation being assumed as a company of good repute with good track record of both the promoters as well as the company in terms of financial performance. A

higher market capitalisation therefore indicates higher confidence of the investors in the company.

Analytical observation: Higher the 365-day average market capitalisation, higher the ranking.Capital structure Debt / equity (times): Debt / equity

ratio is equivalent to total debt (long-term & short-term) / equity capital. This indicator holds paramount

importance for the manufacturing concerns from the capital structure point of view. This ratio captures the financial leverage of a company and depicts its financial flexibility. Generally, for capital intensive manufacturing companies, this ratio tends to be higher as operations are asset intensive. However, a higher debt equity ratio, translates into a higher interest burden and any adversities in a company’s operations may render it difficult to service such fixed obligations. Hence, for companies which have a volatile revenue model, it may be prudent to have a low financial leverage. Analytical observation: Lower the debt / equity, higher the ranking.

tarting with textiles in the late seventies, Reliance Group pursued a strategy of backward vertical integration – in

polyester, fibre intermediates, plastics, petrochemicals, petroleum refining and oil & gas exploration and production – to be fully integrated along the materials and energy value chain. Carrying the legacy forward, in 2010-11, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) attained the largest profit growth in its history with record operating and financial results from each of the three core segments of petrochemicals, refining & marketing and oil & gas. The turnover achieved for the year was Rs2,58,651 crore — a growth of 29% over the previous year. The increase in revenue was due to 11% rise in volumes and 18% rise in prices. During the year, exports, including deemed exports, were higher by 33% at Rs1,46,667 crore. According to company officials, this landmark growth was the result of strong global economic recovery, India’s consumer demand for products & services linked to a better quality of life and best in class manufacturing achievements at all its plants.

Reliance entered into three partnerships in shale gas in North America, thereby establishing itself as one of the leading foreign investors in this emerging unconventional hydrocarbon opportunity. The company also announced strategic partnership with BP, which will enable the company to exploit the full potential of India’s domestic oil & gas portfolio. Growth through these partnerships is going to be a key part of the company’s strategy. Stepping into the digital space, RIL acquired ownership of pan-India broadband wireless access licence in 2010.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTSIn line with its aspirations of ongoing

growth, Reliance is investing its resources in core businesses across the integrated energy chain. It is also taking an initiative of investing in new technologies and businesses that help meet the changing aspirations of millions of Indian consumers. RIL attained various milestones in the last fiscal year. Some of them are: Production from KG-D6 for FY-

11 was 7.95 million barrels (MMBL) of crude oil, and 720 billion cubic feet (BCF) of natural gas — a growth of 97.6% and 41.7%, respectively.

In FY11, Reliance entered into four joint ventures (JV) in the USA.

These JVs, over a period, will enhance Reliance’s position in the development of unconventional natural gas & oil resources and develop new competencies in operating new businesses.

It processed 66.6 million metric tonne (MMT) of crude — the highest ever at its Jamnagar refinery complex.

The company made five oil discoveries in the on-land exploratory block CB–ONN–2003/1 (CB-10 A&B) in the Cambay basin, awarded under the NELP-V round of exploration bidding.

Q2 PERFORMANCERIL reported a 37% increase in its topline to Rs78,569 crore, while its net profit grew 16% to Rs5,703 crore during the quarter ended Sept 2011. RIL’s gross refining margin (GRM) for the quarter was at US$10.1 per barrel as against US$7.9 per barrel in the corresponding period of the previous year. Operating margins fell 380 bps to 12.5% as the cost of raw materials as a percentage to net sales rose 390 bps to 80.6% and purchases during the quarter rose 10 bps to 0.6%, while staff costs fell 20 bps to 0.9% and other expenses fell 120 bps to 5.5%. The operating profit rose 5% to Rs9,844 crore.

For the quarter ended September 2011, the sales of petrochemicals division increased 40% to Rs21,066 crore representing 23% of total revenues of the company. PBIT improved 10% at Rs2,422 crore, which was 34% of total PBIT. The capital employed decreased 15% to Rs31,091 crore representing 13% of total capital employed. Refining contributed 73% of the company’s total revenues in Q2FY12, rose 37% to Rs68,096 crore in the quarter ended September 2011. The PBIT increased 40% to Rs3,075

Participating and investing in India’s growth has been the fundamental principle of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) and this is what has yet again taken RIL to the pole position in Top 500 Manufacturing. With the thrust on new businesses, new technologies & new partnerships, Reliance is traversing contours of new waves of growth. Going forward, value creation through operating excellence and new initiatives will be the key to growth for RIL.

crore accounting for 44% of the total. The capital employed in this segment decreased 5% to Rs72,223 crore. For the quarter ended September 2011, the sales of the oil and gas division decreased 17% to Rs3,563 crore representing 4% of total revenues of the company. The decline was due to lower production from KG-D6 and Panna Mukta Tapti (PMT) blocks partly offset by higher crude oil price realisation. The PBIT too decreased 10% to Rs1,531 crore, which was 22% of the total. The capital employed decreased 49% to Rs27,339 crore representing 11% of total capital employed.

Commenting on the results, Mukesh D Ambani, CMD, Reliance Industries, said, “Our first half financial performance has been consistent. The increase in profits was largely driven by improved performance in the refining and petrochemicals business. All our manufacturing facilities operated at record levels with refineries achieving operating rates of 110%. RIL has a strong balance sheet and sustained earning base to pursue growth opportunities.”

THE UPHILL TASK In the oil & gas business, deep-water exploration and development operations present technological challenges and operating risks. The challenge for RIL is to ensure optimum level of production, safe and reliable operations while maintaining the highest level of health, safety and environment standards.

As far as its refining and marketing business is concerned, RIL competes globally with a number of large energy companies some of which also produce

crude oil and are integrated in their refining operations. Global sourcing involves inventory, logistics and pricing risks, which necessitates the need for significant risk mitigation strategies. The merchant nature of its refining business means that RIL faces extensive

competition in international markets for the sale of key transportation fuels. RIL benefits from the quality of its assets, an unprecedented level of operational integration as well as an experienced team that has demonstrated its ability to deliver globally competitive refining margins, cost competitiveness and consistently high operating rates.

Going by the market sentiments, IDBI Capital research analysts, in one of the reports, have revised PAT estimates downwards by 14% driven primarily by lower GRM assumption and decline in production volume from KG-D6. The company is facing significant delay in approvals for its capex plan in E&P assets. Further, arbitration process against the government’s decision on curbing cost recovery made in the KG-D6 block may aggravate the situation. However, the company has aggressive plans in telecom, natural gas marketing and financial business, which are not factored owing to the gestation period involved.

CAUTIOUS OUTLOOKAs per Nomura Financial Advisory And Securities India estimates, RIL has to tread the path cautiously owing to arbitration proceedings. The beginning of arbitration further exacerbates the impasse on KG-D6 block and also the overall E&P investment climate in India. However, such arbitration proceedings and also the planned move (if true) to amend the

existing Production Sharing Contract, primarily to penalise contractors, would be a negative for further and much needed investments in Indian E&P. In recent years, investor concerns on E&P have significantly increased over regulatory and policy uncertainties. These have included the government’s move to decline tax holiday on gas, government’s interference in pricing and marketing of gas, long delays in approval process of discoveries, work programmes and budgets, etc.

The government’s tough stance on the royalty and cess issue while approving Cairn India ownership

change has also not gone down well

with investors in our view. Such policy/regulatory uncertainties, are reflected in significantly reduced interest in new NELP rounds, and also significantly curtailed exploration & development efforts in recent years.

Overall, the company is strategically positioned to capitalise on the ever-increasing demand for petroleum products in the East African countries. It entered into high-growth aviation fuel segment this year and has a presence at 14 airports in India. The company plans to sharpen its focus on global markets for a significant part of petroleum products produced at the Jamnagar refinery.

ndia is fast emerging as an activated economic centre in the world. The fourth largest economy in the world on Purchase

Power Parity (PPP) is also emerging as a notable consumption centre, particularly for all forms of energy. Creating suitable energy infrastructure has become the first priority. This offers an immense opportunity to Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) to meaningfully integrate in the entire energy value chain.

Tracking last year’s performance, the company recorded the highest-ever production (including the production share from its domestic joint ventures and the production of OVL) of 62.05 million tonne of oil & oil equivalent gas (MMTOE). The ultimate reserve accretion of 83.56 MMTOE in domestic operated fields has been the highest in last two decades. The company has also made a significant breakthrough in shale gas exploration.

It registered the highest ever Net Profit of `1,89,240 million despite sharing `2,48,924 million as under-recoveries of the Oil Marketing Companies as per the government directives towards subsidising petroleum products i.e., HSD, LPG and SKO.

MILESTONESThe company made significant discoveries in the pre-NELP blocks of the East Coast like G-1 & GS-15, G-4 & GS-29, Vashishtha and S-1. Some discoveries in NELP blocks like KG-DWN-98/2 in the KG Basin and MN-DWN-98/3 and MN-OSN-2000/2 blocks in the Mahanadi basin are also significant. Most of these are gas discoveries and efforts are on to monetise them.

The company has taken up 10 major projects for the development of new & marginal fields and one project for the additional development of D-1 field

with estimated investment of `248.90 billion. The field under development are C-Series, B-22 cluster, B-193 cluster, B-46 cluster, North Tapti gas field, cluster-7, BHE & BH-35, WO-16 cluster, G-1 & GS-15 and SB-14. These fields are expected to be on stream by 2013-14. The company achieved a breakthrough in shale gas exploration in its maiden R&D Pilot venture in Damodar Basin, Durgapur, West Bengal. It is also planning to take up exploration in other potential shale basins like Cambay, Krishna Godavari, Cauvery and Assam-Arakan.

During FY11, the company made 24 discoveries in domestic

fields (operated by ONGC); 15 new prospects and 9 new pool discoveries. Of the 15 new prospect discoveries, 5 are in NELP blocks. Some of the significant discoveries are Vadtal 1 & 3, Karnanagar-1 and Matar-12 in Western Onland, GK-28-2 & GK-28-3 in Kutch Offshore, Aliabet-2 in Gulf of Cambay, C-1-6 & C-23-9 in Western Offshore, Laxminarasinmapuram, Vygreswaram SW and Malleswaram in KG onland, GS-KV-1 & GS-29-6 in KG Offshore, Kuthanallur & North Kovilkallapal in Cauvery onland and Agartala Dome-30 in A&AA basin. Out of these discoveries Matar-12, Aliabet-2 assumes significance because these have been made in the blocks where the other operators failed to make breakthroughs earlier. Of the 15 onland discoveries, 9 discoveries have already been put on production.

Q2 PERFORMANCEFor 2QFY2012, ONGC’s topline grew by 24.3% YOY on account of higher realisation. PAT for the quarter grew by 60.4% YOY due to a decline in depreciation, depletion and amortisation (DD&A) expenses. Angel Broking research analysts made the following remarks on the Q2 performance of the company:Higher realisation lifts ONGC’s topline: ONGC’s topline for the quarter grew by 24.3% YOY to `22,616 crore. ONGC’s topline growth was driven by higher net realisation, which grew by 33.4% YOY to US$83.7/bbl. Crude oil sales volume decreased by 1.6% YOY to 5.8mn tonne. The company shared a subsidy burden of `5,713 crore in 2QFY2012 versus `3,019 crore of subsidy shared in 2QFY2011 and `12,046 crore in 1QFY2012. Decline in DD&A expenses spurts PAT

growth: Despite a 33.4% increase in crude oil realisation, EBITDA margin expanded only by 174bp YOY to 64% on account of a 36% YOY increase in

Acclaimed as the world leader in exploration & production (E&P), Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has been setting inspirational benchmarks for others. Going forward, the company’s strategic pursuits will be focussing on locating and creating new hydrocarbon assets, prudent reservoir management, sourcing equity oil & gas, exploration of new sources of energy and meaningful integration in the hydrocarbon value chain.

royalty expenses to `2,880 crore. EBITDA registered a 27.8% YOY increase to `14,469 crore. DD&A expenses decreased by 25.5% YOY to `3,337 crore due to lower dry well write-offs. Consequently, net profit increased by 60.4% YOY to `8,642 crore, significantly above the estimate of `6,161 crore.

GROWTH AVENUESCoal Bed Methane (CBM): The company is pursuing CBM exploration in five blocks i.e., Jharia, Bokaro, North Karanpura, Raniganj and South Karanpura. The company has submitted its Final Development Plan (FDP) for approval to the Government of India for Parbatpur area in Jharia Block. The company has also completed exploration activities in the Bokaro and North Karanpura blocks. Based on the exploration leads, the Bokaro block has proved to be having good potential where a Pilot project has been planned. Exploration activities in South Karanpura in Jharkhand are in the final stage of completion.Underground Coal Gasification (UCG): The company has identified Vastan mine block in Gujarat for the UCG Pilot project. Environmental clearance has been obtained from the Ministry of Environment & Forests for pursuing the pilot project. Detailed design for the pilot project has been completed. A request has also been submitted to the Ministry of Coal for awarding of the Mining Lease (ML) for the Vastan mine block.Shale Gas Exploration: The company achieved a breakthrough in shale gas exploration, in its maiden R&D Pilot venture at Durgapur, West Bengal in Damodar Basin. The R&D project involved drilling of four R&D wells in Damodar basin — two wells in Raniganj, West Bengal and two wells in North Karanpura, Jharkhand. After the completion of drilling of all the

four wells, detailed geological and geophysical analysis is being carried out in order to bring out the gas-in-place estimates for the Damodar Basin. The company is planning to take up shale gas exploration in other potential shale sequences in basins like Cambay, Krishna Godavari, Cauvery and Assam-Arakan.

ALTERNATE SOURCES OF ENERGYAfter successful commissioning of a 50 MW wind farm in Gujarat, the company is setting up a 102-MW wind farm in Rajasthan. Further, feasibility of setting up a 10-MW g r i d - c o n n e c t e d Solar Photovoltaic (PV) project is being studied. Additionally, the ONGC Energy Centre (OEC) successfully installed the three state-of-the-art solar thermal engines at the Solar Energy Centre (SEC), Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) campus at Gurgaon and their performance is under evaluation. Besides that, OEC is pursuing the following projects: Thermo-Chemical Reactor for

Hydrogen generation Bio Conversion of Coal to Methane Exploration and exploitation of

Uranium Reserves globally.

INVESTING INTO FUTURE ONGC has planned a `77.5 billion revamp of onshore pipelines and

installations and approved a `23.5 billion investment in Assam. It registered five oil & gas discoveries on the East Coast and Northeast in May 2007. ONGC aims to produce 25 million metric standard cubic metres per day of gas from the KG Basin by 2012-13 from the estimated available 6 trillion cubic feet of gas reserves. It signed a feedstock supply agreement with Brahmaptura Cracker and Polymer (BCPL) for the Assam gas cracker plant being set up in Lepetkata, Dibrugarh, and a memorandum of understanding with British Pertoleum to jointly undertake oil and gas exploration and production projects in India and abroad. An agreement with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) enables its Tatipaka refinery and MRPL (subsidiary) to supply petroleum products to HPCL.

Going forward, the Angel Broking research team expects incremental production from marginal fields to more than offset any decline in

production from the ageing fields. ONGC’s subsidiary, OVL is also expected to report a jump in volumes by FY2013 to ~12mn tonne, with incremental productions. Although there is an FPO overhang on the stock in the near term, analysts believe increased volumes and net realisations should offset these concerns.

Q2 PERFORMANCEEmkay Global Financial Services research informs that revenue for the quarter was at Rs891 bn, growth of 15.3% YOY, mainly on account of higher volumes plus better realisation. EBIDTA loss during the quarter was at Rs53.2bn, as against an EBIDTA profit of Rs68.9bn, YOY. Interest cost increased significantly by 192% to Rs14.8.bn. During the quarter, the company reported a net loss of Rs74.8bn, against net profit of Rs52.9bn YOY, mainly attributable to higher under recovery lead by higher crude oil prices, forex loss of Rs23.1bn and increase in interest outgo. Direct market sales grew by 4.6% to 17.7 mmt, while crude throughput increased by 7.5% to 13mmt YOY. Capacity utilisation for the quarter improved from 83.2% to 95.6% YOY. The company received upstream discount of Rs39.2bn, in respect of crude oil/LPG/SKO purchased from them has been accounted during the quarter. However, company has not received budgetary support from the Government of India for the under recovery on cooking fuel and auto fuel during the quarter.

EXPLORING ENERGY ALTERNATIVESWith the success of its first wind power project of 21 MW in Gujarat, IOC is considering further investments in wind power projects. During the year, the corporation won a bid for setting up a 5 MW solar photovoltaic power plant in Rajasthan under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission.

Talking about the future plans, RS Butola, Chairman, IOCL, during the annual general meeting, informed, “Currently, we propose to invest over Rs10,000 crore annually for the next few years on projects. Right now, the focus is to develop expertise in new areas. Nuclear power is one such area and we would also like to expand our presence in the gas sector too. Our LNG plans at Ennore are underway, while in petrochemicals we are trying to get into high value specialty and niche chemicals to add to our profitability.”

Going forward, the improved gas supply in the country and the limited gas infrastructure presents a considerable investment opportunity in gas transportation infrastructure. The construction of pipeline networks, both cross country and for city gas distribution, will provide an opportunity to the corporation to serve value-added propositions.

TC completed 100 years in August 2010. In this exciting journey, the company has become the leading FMCG

marketer in India, the second largest hotel chain, the clear market leader in the Indian paperboard and packaging industry and the country’s foremost agribusiness player.

ITC’s diversified status originates from its corporate strategy aimed at creating multiple drivers of growth anchored on its time-tested core competencies i.e., its distribution reach, brand-building capabilities, effective supply chain management and service skills in hoteliering. ITC’s agribusiness is one of the country’s biggest FOREX earners with exports of over US$2 billion. The company’s e-Choupal initiative has also proved to be a successful exercise evolved around empowering the farmer. This transformational strategy, which has already become the subject matter of a case study at Harvard Business School, is expected to progressively create huge rural distribution infrastructure for ITC.

The gross turnover for the year grew by 16.5% to `30,604.39 crore. The net turnover at `21,167.58 crore grew by 16.6% primarily driven by a 23.1% growth in the non-cigarette FMCG businesses, 22.9% growth in agribusiness and 17.6% growth in the hotels segment. Pre-tax profits increased by 20.8% to `7,268.16 crore, while post-tax profits at `4,987.61 crore registered a growth of 22.8%.

HIGHLIGHTS For the ninth year in a row, ITC

has sustained its ‘water positive’ status, creating freshwater potential that is twice its consumption

For the sixth year in succession, ITC is ‘carbon positive’ sequestering twice its emissions

It has also been ‘solid waste recycling positive’ for 4 years now

All the luxury hotels of ITC have been accorded the LEED Platinum rating under the aegis of the US Green Building Council. This achievement makes ITC Hotels the ‘greenest luxury hotel chain’ in the world and places the company at the forefront of global environmental stewardship

ITC’s e-Choupal initiative has pioneered rural transformation and benefitted over four million farmers in over 40,000 villages

Over 35% of energy consumed in ITC is now from renewable sources and carbon neutral fuels.

Angel Broking post 2QFY2012 valuations maintain the revenue and earnings estimates. It expects ITC to report a topline of `24,706 crore in FY2012E and `29,294 crore in FY2013E, registering a CAGR of ~17% over FY2011-13E.

net level), aided by price hikes. The cigarette business is poised for double-digit growth in terms of revenue and EBIT in FY2012E.Non-cigarette FMCG ITC’s non-cigarette FMCG business registered a steady revenue growth of 27.2% YOY at net level to `1,341 crore (`1,056 crore), driven by an impressive performance from all product categories. Also, losses of the business reduced to `56 crore (`67 crore). Going ahead, it expects revenue traction in the segment to continue and losses to reduce, though breakeven is likely to be achieved only in FY2013.Hotels businessITC’s hotels business at net level registered a flat growth of 1.1% YOY to `211 crore (`209 crore) during the quarter due to a weak global economic scenario and slowdown in the Indian economy. The business segment reported an EBIT margin of 20.6% (expansion of 149bp YOY),

driving modest 9% YOY growth in EBIT. The hotels

business is well on track to post a 21% CAGR in revenue during FY2011-13E, aided by low base and uptick in the economic activity. Moreover, the margin of the business is likely to register significant improvement as ARR recovers.Paperboard and packaging The paperboard and packaging business registered a strong revenue growth of 9.4% YOY (10% on a net level) to `1,055 crore (`960 crore). However, the EBIT margin of the

segment registered an impressive expansion of 185bp YOY to 27.5%, driven by a combination of better product mix and higher realisation.Agribusiness ITC’s agribusiness registered a 14.8% YOY growth in revenue to `1,435 crore (`1,205 crore). The business segment reported a flat EBIT margin of 16.6%, aiding 18% YOY growth in EBIT.

THE CO-CREATION OF SOCIETAL VALUE As per Sharekhan estimates, ITC’s cigarette business, which contributes around 60%, continues to be a cash cow for the company. The company endeavours to make a mark in the Indian FMCG market and with successful brands such as Bingo,

Sunfeast and Aashirwaad, ITC is already in the

reckoning among the best in the industry. With its

new portfolio of personal care products gaining market share,

its FMCG business promises to compete with the likes of Hindustan

Unilever and Procter & Gamble.After a sharp increase of 16%

in Union Budget FY2010-11, the government has spared cigarettes from an excise duty hike in the FY2012 budget. Also, key states including Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra have kept VAT on cigarettes unchanged in their respective state budgets. ITC’s cigarette sales volumes are expected to grow at mid single digits in FY2012. ITC’s other businesses, such as hotel, agri, non-cigarette FMCG business and paper, paperboard & packaging, are showing a strong up-move and will provide a cushion to the overall profit in FY2012.

An increase in taxation and the government’s intention to curb the consumption of tobacco products remain the key risks to ITC’s cigarette

business over the longer term. The analysts at Sharekhan expect ITC’s bottom line to grow at a CAGR of about 21.2% over FY2011-13.

Angel Broking analysts expect ITC to report a topline of `24,706 crore in FY2012E and `29,294 crore in FY2013E, registering a CAGR of ~17% over FY2011-13E. The growth would be driven by the company’s diversified business model and ability to invest in growing businesses. In terms of earnings, the company is expected to report a 17.4% CAGR over the same period, backed by good performance by all businesses.

A strong rural connect, which has earned the trust of millions of farmers, a spirit of innovation and a focus on game changing R&D, sharpen ITC’s competitive strengths as it moves into the future. In addition, unique strengths in trade marketing and distribution, world-class manufacturing, superior service delivery, together with a rich experience in branding and deep consumer insights add enduring vitality to the company.

YC Deveshwar, Chairman, ITC, has put it perfectly, “It is my belief that innovative energies of business can also be much better harnessed to deliver meaningful solutions in co-creating societal value. Incentivising outcomes, therefore, is the key to drive business innovation and managerial capacity for societal value creation. It is my strong belief that, going forward, the company’s relentless endeavour to create new benchmarks in sustainable business practices will lend it a unique source of competitive advantage in an increasingly challenging socio-economic environment.”

ranges, Tata Motors Limited recorded a turnover of `52,136 crore — a growth of 35.9% over the previous year.

transportation category at the 2010 Edison Award, symbolising persistence and excellence personified as also the world’s oldest and coveted international award for ‘Good Design’ in 2010 conferred by the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design together with the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies in the category of transportation.

The company continues to keenly focus on international markets and expects to launch its new product range in many of these markets. An assembly plant in South Africa is being set up and is expected to start production next year.

Q2 PERFORMANCETata Motors Limited reported quarterly numbers, which were a mixed bag as the domestic business dragged, while JLR clocked strong volumes and a good margin performance. The consolidated topline registered ~35,939 crore (up 25.8% YOY) as JLR’s topline grew to ~£2929 million (up 30.3% YOY) and standalone business grew to ~12,954 crore (up 15.2% YOY). The consolidated EBITDA margin stood at 13.4%. As per ICICI Direct research analysts, the domestic CV segment has weathered the rough H1 with beyond expectations volume growth in the MHCV and LCV segments of ~8% & 29% YTD, respectively. The negative remained on the domestic compact car segment and entry level Sedan segment, which has seen strongest buyer sentiment dent with Tata Motors Limited witnessing

~18% YTD decline. On JLR, volumes have gone up 23.3% YOY at 68,000 units with ASPs rising ~5.7% YOY, with favourable geography mix led by China.

PREVAILING RISKSThe company has to wither the impact of

hardening interest rates and other inflationary trends as hardening of consumer interest rates could have an adverse impact on the automotive industry, mainly in terms of interest cost on automotive loans. Inflation could also have a negative impact on growth and consequently, on automobile sales in the domestic market.

Notwithstanding is the fuel price hike. The Kirit Parikh Committee recommendations that the retail prices of petrol and diesel to be market determined and that an additional excise duty of `80,000 per car to be levied on diesel cars if implemented, could adversely impact demand. Increase in raw material cost has been putting pressures on the input costs of the company.

To counter the threat of growing global competition, the company continues to intensify its drive to improve quality and product offering, while maintaining its low-cost product development/sourcing advantage.

New project execution holds the key for the company’s growth going forward. Timely introduction of new products, their acceptance in the marketplace and managing the complexity of operations across various manufacturing locations, would be the key to sustain competitiveness. It also needs to strengthen its supply chain and distribution network.

Taking a cue from the recent strike by Maruti Suzuki workforce, labour unrest has been one of the biggest

issues for the corporate world. Tata Motors Limited needs to maintain a healthy balance between the two i.e., to get the best productivity & quick time to market with the workforce satisfied and empowered.

EXPANDING BOUNDARIESGoing forward, the company would continue to focus on retaining its advantage of market reach and penetration. In order to ensure that, it has plans to introduce new products, variants and fuel-efficient products. These will offer superior value to customers and improve the company’s market position. Aggressively pursuing opportunities in the international markets as a part

of its internationalisation drive,

including evaluation of possible overseas manufacturing, will offer a bigger growth avenue for the company. JLR is expected to turn aggressive and launch newer models to enrich its product mix further (Range Rover Evoque, 12 MY JLR models). The management is also increasingly focussed on the growing Chinese market where volumes have touched ~20,405 units in H1 and expects to clock ~40,000 units in FY12E. Seconding these thoughts, ICICI Direct research analysts remain positive on the long-term structural nature of Tata Motors Limited’s business and find great value in the brands and the franchises.

resently, among the top 10 global steel companies, Tata Steel is one of the world’s most geographically diversified

steel producers with operations spread across 26 countries and commercial presence in over 50 countries. Tata Steel is committed to achieving its vision towards being a benchmark in the world’s steel industry through excellence in innovation and research & development. In the road ahead, the company is focussing on integration of new and innovative technologies in its operations and breaking new grounds in product development.

As part of its strategy to de-risk the capital structure and provide more flexibility to the business, the company refinanced the entire long-term debt in Tata Steel Europe (TSE), deferring repayments by four years and allowing deployment of earnings for growth and improvement initiatives. As a result of all the financing initiatives and effective liquidity management, the company had cash and cash equivalents in excess of `10,890 crore (US$2.4 billion) at the end of financial year 2010-11.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS Tata Steel’s Indian operations continue to be among the most competitive operations in the global steel industry. The European branch of the company is initiating several initiatives towards further strengthening its position in the market, amid a very challenging market environment. During the year, the company also initiated steps towards rebranding Corus as Tata Steel Europe (TSE) to leverage the global presence of the wider parent company Tata Group. The company has attained various milestones in the last fiscal year. Some of them include: Tata Steel Group recorded a profit

after tax of `8,983 crore (US$2,015 million) in FY11.

Tata Steel Group recorded EBITDA of `17,103 crore (US$3,836 million) for the full year, 83% higher than the EBITDA of `9,340 crore (US$2,095 million) in FY10.

The Indian operations’ profit after tax of `6,866 crore (US$1,540 million) and EBITDA of `12,225 crore (US$2,742 million) were the highest ever on the back of higher volumes, improved

product mix and higher realisations.

The company’s European operations recorded robust improvement, posting an EBITDA of `4,204 crore (US$943 million), an increase of `5,555 crore (US$ 1,246 million) over FY10. Higher sales and realisations along with cost-cutting measures, initiated in the aftermath of the financial crisis, lay behind this performance. Further, to tackle significant challenges, the company took steps to restructure initiatives during the year.

The sale of Teesside Cast Products (a slab manufacturing facility mothballed in February 2010) was completed in March 2011 in a deal valuing the business at `2,091 crore (US$469 million).

The 2.9 mtpa brownfield expansion in Jamshedpur is progressing on schedule. The company has also begun site work on its greenfield project in Odisha.Total crude steel production of 6.86 million tonne at Tata Steel India exceeded the installed capacity of 6.8 mtpa.

New annual production records were achieved for hot metal from the ’G’ Blast Furnace and hot rolled coil from the Hot Strip Mill at Jamshedpur, for clean coal at West Bokaro and for iron ore from the OMQ Division.

Tata Steel India exceeded 1 mn

In line with Tata Steel Group’s vision to be the global steel benchmark for both value creation and corporate citizenship, Tata Steel believes that respect for the environment is critical to the success of its business…And this notion is what sets Tata Steel apart from the rest.

In December 2010 and January 2011, Tata Steel drew a sum of `3,000 crore via issuance of 20-year non-convertible debentures, where the company will have no cash outgo on account of interest for the first three years.

Q2 PERFORMANCE Tata Steel has posted a net profit of `14,952.20 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 as compared to `20,651.30 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The total income has increased from `78,394.20 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to `82,355.00 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Commenting on the results, HM Nerurkar, MD, Tata Steel, said, “Tata Steel’s Indian operations performed strongly despite the overall soft market situation. The continued interest rate hikes impacted steel demand growth, but the company sequentially increased sales volumes due to enhanced market reach and customer focus. Higher raw material prices and adverse currency movements impacted profits in Q2 of the financial year 2012, but the focus on company-wide cost saving initiatives yielded desired results.” He further added, “We remain committed to commission the 2.9 mtpa expansion in Jamshedpur in the last quarter of this fiscal year and we are making good progress on the greenfield project in

Odisha. Efforts to reinvigorate the South East Asian operations are continuing through new product launches, branding initiatives, increased market access and improvements in operating parameters.”

POSITIVE FOR INVESTORSAccording to Nomura Equity Research, Tata Steel has among the best steel operations globally in terms of both resources base and efficient operations, which provides an attractive investment opportunity. A key concern for the company used to be the high debt on its balance sheet. “We believe leverage is no longer a problem for the company, however, with: 1) a reduction in net debt following the sale of investments – stakes in Rivers-dale and sale of Teesside plant; 2) forecast higher earnings from the Indian operations with its 2.9mtpa expansion (coming on stream by the end of FY12 and expected to contribute in FY13F); and 3) expected excess cash flow generation by FY13F,” the research agency says.

According to Angel Broking, Tata Steel is in the process of developing a coking coal mine in Mozambique

and an iron ore mine in Canada to enhance integration levels of TSE. The projects are expected to be commissioned in phases beginning FY2012. Total capex remaining for the Mozambique project is US$100mn-150mn, while the Canadian project will involve a capex of CAD350mn. “We expect these backward integration projects at Mozambique and Canada to boost TSE’s earnings substantially post FY2012, says research.

Tata Steel is setting up a 6 mn tonne

integrated steel plant (including cold rolling mill) in two phases of 3 mn tonne each for a capex of `34,500 crore. Phase 1 of the 3 mn tonne plant is expected to be completed by 2014. This plant could potentially result in significant earnings accretion post completion, as they will be backed by captive iron ore.

The Tata Steel Group remains focussed on executing its stated strategy of allocating capital to grow in India through brownfield and greenfield projects and also increasing the capital allocation to the European and other businesses to enhance their profitability. In India, the brownfield expansion at Jamshedpur is expected to be commissioned in the financial year 2011-12 taking the company’s flat products capacity to 6.4 million tonne — total crude steel capacity to 9.7 million tonne per annum.

This will be accompanied by augmenting the capacity of mines to ensure that the expanded operations are fully integrated with respect to iron ore. The Odisha greenfield project is being developed in two phases of 3 million tonne each. The project work has already commenced and the company plans to commission the first phase of 3 million tonne by the financial year 2013-14. The next phase will follow soon after. It will continue to focus on downstream and value-added products, including automotive steel through cold annealed processing, packaging steel and others.

One of the Tata Steel Group’s value creation strategies is focussed on growth. With the aim of strengthening its position in emerging markets, the Group is increasing its crude steelmaking capacity through expansion projects at Jamshedpur and Kalinganagar. Such huge investments by the company will play a crucial role in not only extending, but in further strengthening the growth of the company.

HEL has grown in stature over the years with continued inflow of orders, manufacturing prowess and a continued

thrust on technology leading to a strong presence in domestic and international markets as a major supplier of power plant equipment besides establishing substantial inroads in select segment of products in the industrial sector and Railways. During 2010-11, the company witnessed growth in turnover by 26.89% to `43,337 crore from `34,154 crore in the previous year. The turnover (net of excise duty) increased by 26.49% from `32,861 crore in 2009-10 to `41,566 crore in 2010-11. Profit before Tax for 2010-11 is placed at `9,006 crore as against `6,591 crore during 2009-10 — a growth of 36.64% as compared to the previous year. The Profit After Tax is placed at `6,011 crore as against `4,311 crore during 2009-10 — a growth of 39.43% over previous year. Increase in turnover coupled with savings in material cost over the previous year has contributed to the better financial performance during the year.

BHEL had many accomplishments in various business areas. Some of them are: In spite of difficult market

conditions, BHEL booked orders of 7 Boilers and 9 Turbine-Generators with supercritical parameters from public as well as private sector utilities

The order of the first 700 MW Nuclear TG (2 sets) for KAPP 3, 4 from NPCIL in consortium with Alstom, new rating introduced

Export orders from 24 countries across five continents.

Q2 PERFORMANCE BHEL’s revenue for 2QFY12 grew 24% YOY to `103b, driven by strong execution. Adjusted EBITDA margin

was 17%, down 260 bps YOY. The EBITDA margin declined mainly due to higher provisions on account of contractual obligations and liquidated damages. Reported PAT of `14.1b was positively impacted by `1,660m (pre-tax) change in accounting policy related to provision of leave encashment.

As per Motilal Oswal research estimates, growth in the power segment revenue was muted during 2QFY12 — up 11% YOY to `78b. The industry segment posted strong growth – up

78% YOY to `30b – as a number of projects are reaching advanced stages of revenue recognition. Power division contributed 72% to total revenue and the industry division contributed 28%.

BHEL booked new orders worth `143b in 2QFY12, up 6% YOY, driven by strong order inflow in the Industry segment (up 134% YOY to `51b). The power segment orders declined 18% YOY to `135b due to industry-wide slowdown. Adjusted EBITDA margin declined 260 bps YOY, led by the power segment. The EBITDA margin was impacted by a sharp rise in other expenditure (up 78% YOY at 10.6% of sales), which, in turn, was driven by much higher provisions. Change in accounting policy, which resulted in lower staff cost during the quarter, however, boosted EBITDA by `1.66b, a part of which is recurring in nature. In the light of growing concerns on the power segment, analysts at Motilal Oswal have lowered order intake estimates by 11% for FY12 and by 15% for FY13. They expect the order intake to decline by 3% in FY12 and to register a marginal growth of 3% in FY13.

The company is well on track to expand capacity to 20GW per annum by the end of FY12. Analysts believe that with expanded capacity, BHEL will be able to grow production at an accelerated pace in FY13-14.

The company maintained that execution on all power projects is on track, which will help boost the power

Established more than 40 years ago, BHEL is the largest engineering and manufacturing enterprise of India in the energy & infrastructure-related sectors. It is among the world’s rarest few who have the capability to manufacture an entire range of power plant equipment. Standing tall on such strong pillars, BHEL has been demonstrating robust performance in terms of growth, performance and profi tability. With overfl owing order books for the current year, the company is slated to post yet another record performance in the near term.

power segment; strong inflow of industry

orders.BHEL booked new orders

worth `143b, up 6% YOY, driven by strong order inflow in the industry segment (up 134% YOY to `51b). The order book currently stands at `1,610b, 3.6x TTM sales.

The company has formed several joint ventures with SEBs for the development of projects. Its joint venture (JV) with Karnataka SEB is already developing 16GW, while its JV with Tamil Nadu SEB is expected to award the contract by the end of FY12. BHEL’s JVs with MP SEB and Maharashtra SEB will most likely be pushed to the next year.

BHEL has a healthy order book of `1,61,000 crore at the end of Q2

FY12, i.e. 3.30x FY12E revenue. Based on sector division, the order book for BHEL stood at `1,28,000 crore (80%) from the power sector, `22,700 (14%) from the industry and the remaining `380 crore (6%) from exports. Meanwhile, the order inflow during the year has been muted with the same for H1FY12 limited to `16,800 against an annual guidance of `66,700 crore. Though this is seen as a negative for the company, the strong

book would help meet the annual revenue guidance with ease.

NEW PHASE OF DYNAMIC GROWTHThe company continues to pursue its ‘Six-Point Strategy’ to sustain its

leadership in its current business areas and capture opportunities in

emerging growth areas. BHEL is actively pursuing several opportunities

for sustaining future growth. These include: Strategic alliance with Toshiba,

Japan, to establish a JVC to address the transmission & distribution (T&D) business in India and other mutually agreed countries. The JVC will cover equipment and projects in EHVAC & UHVAC range including 765 kV transformers and reactors & GIS, in addition to other products and systems

Transportation business where BHEL is participating in tenders for setting up factory for Electric Loco components and Diesel Loco factory

Proactive participation in the nuclear business segment by entering into a tripartite JV with NPCIL & Alstom for conventional island of nuclear projects for 700 MWe.

Joint Working Arrangement with Abengoa, Spain, for a Concentrated Solar Thermal Power Plant (CSP)

and the strategic alliance with BEL for the formation of a JV for setting up manufacturing facility (240 MW) for silicon wafers, solar cells & modules.

Increased focus in the water business area, where the company has entered into a manufacturing associate agreement with GE India Industrial Pvt Ltd (GEIIPL), for water treatment equipment.From the present level of 15,000

mw capacity, BHEL is poised to mark the capacity at 20000 mw by FY12 as a part of its continuous capacity addition programme. The higher capacity will help execute the strong order book which is currently stands at `1,61,000 crore i.e. 3.30x FY12E revenue.

The future prospect of BHEL is highly dependent upon the capex plans of refining, oil & gas and petrochemicals sector, i.e., any shortfall in the capex will have an effect on the company’s business. Unlike other businesses, the petrochemical sector is highly bound to the changes in government policy and regulations. Since the company is predominantly in the sector, the government’s stance is much significant to the company’s performance going forward.

During the annual general meeting, B Prasada Rao, Chairman & MD, commented, “BHEL is committed to drive a new phase of growth, at a time of increasing focus of Government of India on developing the infrastructure sector. In this environment, the company has, over a period of time, established a number of differentiating competitive strengths, including a powerful manufacturing base, world-class equipment performance, the technology edge, diversified business portfolio, country-wide efficient after-sales-service network, a robust balance sheet capable of supporting its growth ambitions and a strong human capital base.”

Fortune 500 company, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) has interests in oil refining and

marketing of petroleum products. It is the third largest refining company in India with a capacity of 12 mmtpa at its Mumbai facility and 7.5 mmtpa at Kochi. BPCL has majority stake (63%) in Numaligarh Refineries, a 3 mmtpa refinery in the northeast. BPCL has investments in IGL (22.5%) and Petronet LNG (12.5%). BPCL is a public sector firm in which the Government of India holds 54.93%.

The aggregate refinery throughput at BPCL’s refineries at Mumbai and Kochi and that of its subsidiary company, Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) in 2010-11 was 24.03 Million Metric Tonne (MMT) as compared to 23.03 MMT in 2009-10. The market sales volume of the BPCL Group for 2010-11 stood at 29.58 MMT, as compared to 28.25 MMT in the previous year. The Group also exported 2.61 MMT of petroleum products during the year as against 2.51 MMT in 2009-10.

During 2010-11, the BPCL Group achieved a sales turnover of `1,66,038.80 crore as compared to `1,33,749.10 crore recorded in 2009-10. The profit after tax for the year stood at `1,742.06 crore as against `1,719.98 crore in 2009-10.

Among the key developments during the year was the announcement of five oil & gas discoveries in Mozambique, Brazil and Indonesia from exploration blocks where BPCL’s wholly owned subsidiary company, Bharat PetroResources Limited, has participating interest. This augurs well for the future in terms of oil & gas equity for the company once production starts in these blocks.

The year also saw the commissioning of the 6 Million Metric Tonne

(MMTPA) per annum grassroots refinery in Bina, Madhya Pradesh, which was set up by Bharat Oman Refineries Limited (BORL). BORL is a company promoted by BPCL and in which Oman Oil Company and the Madhya Pradesh Government are partners. Once all the units stabilise, the refinery would go a long way in meeting the product requirements of BPCL in central and northern parts of the country. The Kochi refinery also commissioned the capacity expansion and modernisation project, which saw the refinery’s processing capacity increase from 7.5 MMTPA

to 9.5 MMTPA.

Q2FY12As per ICICI Direct research, BPCL declared its Q2FY12 results with revenues of `42,301.9 crore, EBITDA loss of `2,694.8 crore and net loss of `3,229.3 crore. The results are below the estimates mainly on account of higher net under-recoveries, forex losses of ~`800 crore and low refining margins. The downstream companies shared a net subsidy burden of 66.67% in Q2FY12. The GRM decreased to $1.6/barrel in Q2FY12 compared to $2.8/barrel in Q2FY11 mainly on account of custom duty reduction in June end. Brent crude oil prices estimates of US$100/barrel, have been maintained going forward. The gross under-recoveries are expected at ~`1,10,950 crore and ~`83,500 crore in FY12E and FY13E, respectively. Analysts assume net under-recoveries for downstream companies at 8.8% in FY12E and FY13E.

The crude oil throughput remained

BPCL remains committed towards strengthening its core business of refi ning and marketing of petroleum products. Towards this end, major plans have been drawn up for enhancing the port and distribution infrastructure and setting up of new retails outlets, particularly in the rural markets. With the intent to facilitate timely completion of projects at the right cost, BPCL is well on its way to secure India’s future energy needs.

In addition to enhancing the refi ning capacity to meet the growing demand for petroleum products, BPCL is exploring the possibility of achieving value addition by venturing into the petrochemicals space. BPCL is looking at using the raw material produced at the Kochi refi nery to manufacture value added products having excellent demand, but limited availability within the country at present.

flat YOY at 5.6 MMT in Q2FY12. The gross refining margins (GRMs) decreased from US$2.8/barrel in Q2FY11 to US$1.6/barrel in Q2FY12 on account of custom duty reduction in June end. The total market sales increased 6.06% YOY from 6.6 MMT in Q1FY11 to 7.0 MMT in Q2FY12. Net subsidy burden for downstream companies in this quarter is 66.67% in Q2FY12, which led to net under-recoveries of `3,227 crore in Q2FY12.

OTHER KEY HIGHLIGHTS The large GRM under-performance

versus the regional benchmark Reuters Singapore GRM in recent quarters was due to the difference in the product slate — BPCL is a diesel-heavy refiner and cracks of diesel were down sequentially in 2QFY12.

P roduc t invento ry adventitious loss in the quarter was `240m versus gain of `12b in 1QFY12. A large 1QFY12 product inventory gain was led by the government raising prices towards the end of June.

Refinery throughput was 5.4 mmt, flat YOY and up 7.3% QOQ. Marketing volumes were down 10% sequentially led by seasonal factors and stood at 7 mmt.

KEY INVESTMENT ARGUMENTS According to Motilal Oswal

estimates, BPCL’s profitability continues to be determined by the quantum of under-recoveries and sharing mechanism, rather than fundamentals

The Bina refinery’s commercial production ramp-up is expected over the coming quarters. BPCL has 49%stake in the ~`114b Bina refinery, which will have a capacity of 6 mmtpa

BPCL’s E&P portfolio is likely to add substantial valueas it completes its appraisal programme and gives out the resource/reserve numbers.

KEY INVESTMENT RISKSThe overall business environment remains extremely challenging. BPCL is, therefore, likely to encounter several risks during the course of its operations. The possible upward movement in international oil prices remains a major area of concern, given the level of dependency on imports for meeting the crude oil requirements of the refineries. The issue of under-recoveries on the sale of sensitive petroleum products is another major concern, as in the absence of adequate compensation for the same, the financial position of the

company will be adversely affected.While the possible deregulation in

the pricing of HSD will address the issue of under-recoveries suffered by BPCL on its sale, it will also lead to private players entering the market in a big way, leading to enhanced levels of competition. Also, any sustained rise

in selling prices of fuels

like MS and HSD could limit the growth in demand for these products. These developments can have an adverse impact on BPCL’s growth in the auto fuels segment and its market share.

TOWARDS AN AMBITIOUS GROWTH PHASE The government initiated the process of decontrol of retail fuel prices, starting with petrol prices. The FPO

of IOCL and ONGC could be key triggers to start the decontrol process for LPG, kerosene and diesel. The BPCL Group ultimately aspires to reach a refining capacity of 1 million barrels per day over the next five years. BPCL also has ambitions of venturing into the petrochemicals sector. While this will call for a large quantum of investments, BPCL is focussed on meeting the challenging targets, which, in turn, will help in satisfying the growing energy needs of the country.

Q2 PERFORMANCEHPCL declared its Q2FY12 results with revenues of `37,104.2 crore, EBITDA loss of `2,869.7 crore and a net loss of `3,364.5 crore. The results were below as per ICICI Direct estimates mainly on account of a sharp drop in refining margins and higher net under-recoveries. The downstream companies shared a net subsidy burden of 66.67% (`14,248.5 crore) in Q2FY12. Changes in the customs duty structure in June-end led to a sharp decline in the refining margin to US$1.9/barrel in Q2FY12. The interest cost stood at `302.8 crore in Q2FY12 increasing significantly by 37.6% YOY.

The crude oil throughput increased 40% YOY from 3.0 MMT in Q2FY11 to 4.2 MMT in Q2FY12 due to higher capacity utilisation from both Mumbai and Visakhapatnam refinery. Gross refining margins (GRMs) dropped significantly from US$2.7/barrel in Q2FY11 to US$1.9/barrel in Q2FY12

due to changes in the customs duty structure in June end. Total market sales increased 15% YOY from 6.0 MMT in Q2FY11 to 6.9 MMT in Q2FY12. The net subsidy burden for downstream companies in this quarter is 66.67% in Q2FY12, which led to net under-recoveries of `3,125 crore in Q2FY12.

According to Motilal Oswal research

es t imates , HPCL’s profitability continues to be determined by the quantum

of under-recoveries and sharing mechanism, rather than fundamentals. Medium- to long-term growth would come from its 9 mmtpa grassroots refinery being set up in JV (~50% stake) with Mittal Energy Investments, with an estimated capex of `172b. Post deregulation and subsidy rationalisation, HPCL’s valuations should benefit due to improvements in: (1) earnings quality, (2) RoCE and RoE, (3) cash cycle and (4) debt levels.

Key investment risks for the company include delays in diesel deregulation and ad hoc subsidy sharing and non-commensurate increase in retail fuel prices. Oil price rise leads to under-recoveries for the company and ad hoc nature of subsidy sharing impacts profits.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTSThe government initiated the process of decontrol of retail fuel prices, starting with petrol prices. The FPO of IOCL and ONGC could be key triggers to start the decontrol process

for LPG, kerosene and diesel.Going forward, to build value to

the shareholders, the company has identified five strategic areas as its priority over the next few years, viz.: Improve profitability & build the

upstream business Increase the refining capacity to

meet the marketing demand Achieve sustained sales growth

above the industry Provide differentiated customer

experience through strong operational excellence

Aggressively pursue growth opportunities in natural gas & alternate energy.As Subir Roy Choudhury, Chairman

& MD, HPCL says, “The company is focussed on making HPCL financially safe and secure by planning for the future and balancing the business portfolio to insulate the company from the impact of increasing crude oil prices. Going forward, talking about the company’s plans, a HPCL senior official said, “We have decided to spread

our investments into conventional and non-conventional segments. We are also looking at partnering with successful operators in oil & gas; coal bed methane and shale gas overseas.”

AIL, a Maharatna company, is India’s largest steel producer, holding 20% market share of domestic crude

steel production. In 2010-11, the company achieved a turnover of more than `47,000 crore. SAIL produces both basic and value-added steels for various user segments. The company increased production of value-added steel and achieved the saleable steel production of 12.9 MT representing 116% of capacity utilisation.

The profit of the company for 2010-11 was affected adversely, mainly due to adverse impact of input prices consisting of imported coal, indigenous coal, limestone, nickel, ferro alloys, aluminium, boiler coal, purchase power, increase in royalty on minerals, salaries & wages, higher interest & depreciation. However, the adverse impact on profitability was partially offset by higher volume of saleable steel production, increase in net sales realisation of saleable steel, better product mix and higher value-added steel production.

PRODUCTION REVIEW In 2010-11, the plants of the company continued with their journey of relentless improvement in production, product mix and efficiency parameters. Production of hot metal at 14.9 million tonne and crude steel at 13.8 million tonne, registered a growth of 3% and 2% respectively over CPLY. In line with market demand, SAIL produced 10.5 million tonne of finished steel, which also registered a growth of 4% over CPLY. The production growth was achieved with better utilisation of existing facilities since the company has not added any capacity in 2010-11.

Higher production of special quality and value-added products at 4.8 million tonne, a growth of 3% over CPLY,

resulted in further improvement of the product mix. Several new products were developed, which have significant demand, ready market and good contribution margin. Improvement in quality of products has remained an important imperative. Some of the major new products developed to meet customers’ requirement and enhance market share were — High Tensile thicker plates in Normalised condition with sub-zero impact toughness and Ultrasonic soundness for construction of sluice gate for Hydel Power Project in Uttaranchal, HT plates in grade

450E with improved toughness and corrosion resistance for steel super-structure of rail-cum-road bridge for the construction of steel super-structure of the two rail-cum-road bridges being built over the river Ganges at Patna and Munger, 45E1 Grade R260 Rails in Euronorm Specification (EN 13674-4) for export to Sri Lanka, Killed quality structurals with low temperature impact toughness for construction of the superstructure of the rail-cum-road bridges of Ganges, High Strength 100 mm thick pressure vessel quality SA537Cl-1 plates with ultrasonic soundness for hydel power projects, for the first time, EMU wheels for Indian Railways.

MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS Produced 12.89 MT of saleable

steel, growth of 2% over previous year, with capacity utilisation at 116%.

Maintaining its thrust on production of value-added & special steels, achieved best-ever annual production of 4.8 MT, growth of 3% over last year.

Capex touched a record `11,280 crore, 6% higher than the previous year.

All major facilities under expansion plan of Salem Steel Plant completed on schedule in September 2010 and are under stabilisation for regular production.

Blast Furnace#2 at Bokaro Steel Plant upgraded & commissioned in July 2010.

Upgradation of Plate Mill at Bhilai Steel Plant, installation of 700 tonne per day Oxygen Plant & simultaneous blowing of converters in SMS-II at Rourkela Steel Plant, and rebuilding of Coke Oven Battery#10 at IISCO Steel Plant, Burnpur completed.

Q2 PERFORMANCESAIL’s Q2 FY12 sales volumes rose

With the aim to contribute towards shaping the future of India, Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) is adding strength to people, processes & products. The company is currently implementing a mega Modernisation & Expansion (M&E) plan to enhance its hot metal production capacity in a phased manner. The M&E plan will not only help strengthen the company’s market position, but also contribute to economic growth of the country.

0.2% QOQ and 2.2% YOY to 2.82mn tonnes. Sales realisations declined 2.3% QOQ to `38,496 a tonne against the expectations of flat realisations. EBITDA per tonne declined 3.5% QOQ (down 8.8% YoY) to `4,207 per tonne, hit by higher cost and lower realisations. EBITDA declined 15.3% YOY (1% QOQ) to `11.84bn, hit by higher raw material and employee cost.

PAT decreased 41% QOQ and 47.2% YOY to `4.94bn (due to lower EBITDA and forex loss). SAIL’s adjusted profit declined 14.1% YOY to `8.46bn, while it was flat sequentially.

Analysts at Dolat Capital believe SAIL will continue to deliver poor performance compared to its peers due to higher employee cost, outdated plants and relatively lower volume growth. Its premium valuations will erode further due to its poor execution track record, leading to muted volume growth.

Sales volumes increase 0.2% QOQ, 2.2% YOY to 2.82mn tonne, whereas production remained flat at 3.06 mn tonnes. Blended sales realisations declined 2.3% QOQ to `38,496 a tonne. SAIL’s net steel realisations, however, remained f l a t QOQ a t `36,230 per tonne in Q1 FY12. Net sales for SAIL rose 2.2% YOY and 0.2% QOQ to `108.3bn

Raw material cost per tonne of crude steel increased 11% QOQ to `17,348 primarily due to an increase in the cost of imported and domestic coking coal. SAIL procures coal from BCCL, SEL and WCL, which are subsidiaries of Coal India.

PAT decreased 44% QOQ and 28% YOY to `8.38bn due to lower EBITDA and due to forex losses. Adjusted profit declined 14.1% YOY to `8.46bn, while it was flat sequentially.

KEY DEVELOPMENTSAccording to Dolat Capital analysis, SAIL currently has `7.834bn in net debt and will borrow further to fund its `700-bn expansion and modernisation plans. SAIL has reduced its capex guidance for `126bn (earlier `1,435bn) in FY12 and `145bn for FY13. It has only spent `47.45bn in H1 FY12. It has a cumulatively spend of `340bn on capex till date on expansion plans and has borrowed `100.73bn for expansion.

SAIL has placed orders of `540bn for the total capex of `600bn. SAIL expects the IISCO-integrated steel plant to be fully operational by June 2012 and not December 2012 as guided earlier. IISCO includes a new 2.7-mn tonne blast furnace along with bar, wire rod and section mills. We believe this will restrict volume growth in FY12-13E to 5% as against 10% earlier.

“We also expect significant delay in the integrated commissioning of the Bhilai and Rourkela blast furnaces, leading to muted volume growth over FY11-FY14.

Although value addition will rise due to expansion, it will incrementally add to revenues only in FY13-FY14. SAIL has been able to secure captive iron ore mine for its Vizag Steel Plant and has got allotted 140 hectare of iron ore-bearing area in NEB, Bellary, Karnataka, for exploration and mining,” informed Dolat Capital analysts.

GROWTH PLANSConsidering the acceleration in demand for steel in the country, the company is currently implementing a growth plan to enhance its Hot Metal capacity from the level of 13.8 million tonne in a phased manner. Under the ongoing phase-I of modernisation and expansion plan, hot metal production capacity will get expanded to 23.46 million tonnes by 2012-13. The growth plan, besides targeting higher production, also addresses the need for eliminating technological obsolescence, achieving energy savings, enriching product-mix, reducing pollution, developing mines and collieries, introducing customer centric processes and developing matching infrastructure facilities.

“Keeping this in view, and to maintain its market dominance both in the short and long term, SAIL will continue to place maximum thrust on capacity addition, for which capital expenditure will be made ‘with positive and upbeat sentiments’, disclosed CS Verma, Chairman, SAIL, during the AGM.

“SAIL is growing and is poised for a big leap,” Verma told the shareholders, while sharing details of the multi-pronged growth initiatives being taken by the company. ‘Technology leadership’, he said, has been identified as a key focus area. He dwelt upon the strategic initiatives taken to augment technological interventions, among which is the newly

launched R&D ‘master plan’ of SAIL aimed at facilitating ‘acquisition and development of appropriate technologies for sustainable growth’. The other initiatives, he revealed, related to SAIL’s MoUs with global players such as Kobe Steel of Japan and POSCO of Korea.

in aluminium and copper. A metals powerhouse with a consolidated turnover of `72,078 crore (US$15.85 billion), Hindalco is the world’s largest aluminium rolling company and one of the biggest producers of primary aluminium in Asia. Its copper smelter is the world’s largest custom smelter at a single location.

Hindalco’s consolidated revenue at `72,078 crore has been the highest ever, a growth of 19% YOY. Strong volumes, improved mix and higher commodity prices have been the growth drivers. Profit before depreciation, interest and taxes stood at `8,433 crore as against `10,069 crore in FY10, which included `2,736 crore (US$578 million) of unrealised gains on derivatives, as against unrealised loss of `291 crore (US$64 million) in FY11. The underlying performance of the current year sets a new record, reflecting the inherent strength of the company’s low-cost business model, operational excellence, superior product mix and a balanced and de-risked portfolio. The highlights of this year’s performance were: Consolidated revenue of

US$15.9 billion on the back of a strong showing by all businesses

Highest-ever underlying EBITDA of $1.9 billion, which reflected the inherent strength of the company’s low-cost business model, operational excellence, superior product mix and a balanced portfolio

Strong cash flows to support the growth ambitions

Innovative financing to fuel the company’s growth plans.

The company completed over US$7 billion of financing transactions; each of them has been a landmark in itself: Financial closure of Utkal and Mahan:

Achieved financial closure of two projects in challenging liquidity environment

Novelis refinancing: This was a landmark innovation in financing — not only did Hindalco get back 50% of the invested equity within 4 years, but it also opened up a novel funding avenue between Novelis and Hindalco.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTSThe endeavour to produce more metal through asset sweating and through de-bottlenecking at Renukoot helped the company produce 538 KT, marginally lower than the previous year’s production of 555 KT of hot metal despite a loss of over 20 KT productions at Hirakud. Aluminium sales at `7,965 crore were up 14%, mainly on the back of better realisation. Overall, metal volumes were lower due to Hirakud disruption. However following, proactive initiatives were taken to bridge the gap: Higher alumina sales by 28%, as

surplus alumina was diverted to third-party sales

Sold more metal in India, to benefit from higher realisation.

Q2 PERFORMANCENet sales and operating revenue at `6,272 crore in Q2FY12 were up 7% over Q2FY11, driven by higher volume and improved realisation, despite lower sale of value-added products. PBITDA increased by 8% with higher volume and realisation in aluminium business and better TcRc and byproduct realisation in the copper business. Net profit increased by 16% to `503 crore in Q2FY12 from `434 crore in Q2FY11. For the half year

The four-pronged strategy of Hindalco, Aditya Birla Group company – low cost business model, operational excellence, superior product mix and a balanced & de-risked portfolio – has yet again taken the company to the Top 500 Manufacturing Companies – Listing & Analysis. With ambitious brownfi eld and greenfi eld projects in the pipeline, Hindalco is well on its way to emerge as the ‘global metal business’ in the world.

ANALYSING THE TOP 14 - HINDALCO INDUSTRIES

Consolidated Revenue`72,078 crore

PBDIT`8,433 crore

The company has embarked on an ambitious growth path with an announced investment plan of over US$6.5 billion in India

and overseas in the next three years.

ended September 30, 2011, revenues rose by 11%, PBITDA increased by 12% with increase in net profit by 18%.

In Q2FY12, aluminium revenues were higher at `2,213 crore up from `1,911 crore in Q2FY11 — a rise of 16% as a result of higher volumes and better aluminium prices on the LME. In the copper business, revenues were at `4,062 crore versus `3,951 crore in Q2FY11, on the back of higher LME and byproduct credits. Copper volumes were lower on account of the shutdown of one of the smelters up till mid July.

Alumina production was lower by 4% due to constrained supplies and poor quality of bauxite. Metal volume was higher by 16 per cent driven by higher production at Hirakud — in Q2FY11, Hirakud production was affected due to smelter outage. Metal

production at Renukoot increased by

2% on the back of continued focus on asset sweating.

Downstream production declined by 3% in the case of flat rolled products as compared to Q2FY11 due to demand sluggishness in the domestic market. Extrusion production was lower, consequent upon the continuation of a lock-out at the company’s Alupuram unit in Kerala.

ON AN EXPANSION SPREEHindalco has embarked on a massive capacity expansion drive, with plans to increase its capacity 3x to 1.64 mtpa through three greenfield projects viz.

Mahan, Aditya and Jharkhand. All the three projects consist of similar capacities i.e. 359 ktpa smelter with 900 MW captive power. The Mahan project is coming up in Bargwan, MP,

while the Aditya project would come up in Orissa. From the existing combined capacity of 1.5 mtpa, alumina refining capacity is being raised to 4.5 mtpa with additional 1.5 mtpa each in Utkal and Aditya projects. The cumulative total capex for these projects is pegged at ~`500 bn.

In case of brownfield projects, smelting capacity expansion in Hirakud has been progressing well and the company has already increased

its capacity to 161 ktpa in Q4FY11. Further

expansion to 213 ktpa along with a CPP of

100 MW is scheduled to be commissioned during the

end of FY12. The next phase of expansion to 360 ktpa with additional

CPP of 500 MW is under evaluation. The company is also in the process of transferring key equipment from FRP plant of Novelis in Rogerstone, UK to Hirakud at an estimated cost of ~`8 bn. This would enable the company to cater to the local and regional exports demand of superior engineering products, including can body stock. The company has also been evaluating expansion of its Belgaum special aluminium plant capacity from 189 ktpa to 301 ktpa.

Though there have been some delays in all the projects due to various externalities, analysts at Emkay Global Financial Services believe FY13 would see some comfort in terms of commissioning of Mahan and Utkal projects. We have assumed 90 kt of incremental production from Mahan in FY13. Further delay, however, would be a deterrent due to significant

cost overrun and lower volume. Hirakud smelter capacity was raised

from 1,55,000 tpa to 1,61,400 capacity in Q4FY11. By 2012 end, another 51,600 tpa capacity is scheduled to

be added to the Hirakud plant, which will take the total capacity at Hirakud to 2,13,000 tpa, along with a 100 MW captive power

plant. The next phase of expansion at Hirakud is planned to increase its capacity to 360 ktpa along with a corresponding increase in captive power from 467.5 MW to 967.5 MW. The environmental clearance for this is already in place.

This project involves the transfer of all key equipment for FRP production from Novelis plant at Rogerstone, UK to Hirakud. Also, orders placed for related and balancing equipment will enable the company to produce superior engineering products, including can body stock, for various markets. This project is expected to be complete by Q4FY12 or early FY13.

The specials plant capacity at Belgaum will be raised from 189 ktpa to 301 ktpa, along with a coal-based co-generation plant. Currently, natural gas adaptation for its rotary kilns is being evaluated. The company plans to invest US$300 mn to expand the aluminium rolling operations in Pinda to about 600 kt of aluminium sheets per year. This project is expected to come on stream by 2012.

Novelis has announced plans to invest US$400 mn in aluminium rolling and recycling operations in South Korea. This will increase aluminium sheet capacity in Asia to 1,000 kt annually. The new capacity is expected to be commissioned in financial year 2013.

Hindalco is set to start commissioning a 3,59,000 aluminium smelter along with a captive power plant of 900 MW during Q4FY12 at Bargwan, Madhya Pradesh. The estimated capex for the project is about `105 bn, of which `77.85 bn is being

HINDALCO INDUSTRIES - ANALYSING THE TOP 14

financed by debt — `60 bn has already been drawn down. The major setback for the project lies in the fact that the coal block of Mahan still awaits Ministry of Environment and Forests clearances. Hindalco will have to either source coal from linkages or will have to import coal till clearances are received and a coal mine is developed. This may result in significantly higher operating cost.

Hindalco is in the process of setting up a 1.5 mtpa alumina plant along with a 90-MW captive cogeneration plant in Utkal, which has received all the clearances and licence for mining, is expected to be on stream by Q4FY13. The output from the Utkal plant will feed alumina to the Mahan and the Aditya smelters. The estimated project cost for the Utkal plant is about `72 bn, of which `49.06 bn will be financed through debt. The captive bauxite mines of the Utkal alumina project are located at Baphlimali hills of Kashipur

block in Orissa’s Rayagada district.

ON AN ASPIRATIONAL GROWTH PATHThe company has embarked on an aspirational growth path towards which, three new aluminium smelters and two new alumina refineries are being set up in Odisha, Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand. With these projects on stream, aluminium smelting capacity will touch around 1.7 million tonne and alumina refining capacity around 6 million tonne. The site work on these greenfield projects is in various stages of progress.

The company’s strategy to achieve global size and scale through the acquisition of Novelis has demonstrated its merit and so far, things have worked

as per the plan. The de-risked business model of Novelis, where LME is a pass through, its robust product portfolio with over 50% going into the manufacturing of beverage cans and strong presence in emerging markets has shown its strength and is now poised for a transformational growth. It has already become value accretive for Hindalco and offers significant synergistic benefits going forward.

Hindalco is well poised to emerge as ‘one global metal business’ with the India-centric upstream business and the global value-added downstream business. The company has embarked on an ambitious growth path with an announced investment plan of over US$6.5 billion in India and overseas in the next three years. With these projects coming on stream, Hindalco is set for a quantum growth leap.

trengthening prices, increased volumes and a continued strong focus on operational efficiency have contributed to a

substantial growth of Sterlite Industries Limited in net sales of `30,248 crore — a 23.4% increase compared to last year and a record PBDIT of `10,522 crore. The company continued to deliver volume growth, with significant increases achieved in zinc-lead and commercial energy businesses.

The company started two 600 MW units of the 2,400 MW power plant at Jharsuguda, Orissa, and also announced the addition of a fourth 660 MW unit at the Talwandi Sabo Power Limited (TSPL) project in Punjab, taking the total capacity of TSPL to 2640 MW. The power generated by this new unit will be largely sold in the merchant market, significantly enhancing the overall return of this project.

The company completed the acquisition of the zinc assets of Anglo-American in the second half of the financial year, increasing zinc-lead capacity to 1.5 million tonne per annum. This acquisition makes the company the largest zinc producer in the world and extends its zinc footprint in Africa and Ireland.

It has successfully added reserves and resources of 22.1 million tonne in Zinc-India business, thereby increasing the life of mines.

As far as its copper business is concerned, cathode production has been to the tune of 3,03,991 MT and it also attained the highest-ever domestic sales of 2,06,653 MT.

The highest-ever zinc and lead mined metal production is registered at 8,40,000 MT and refined zinc metal production of 7,12,000 MT and 1,74,000 kg of silver is posted by the company. Accelerated ramp up at the silver-rich Sindesar Khurd mine has successfully commissioned the 1.50

million tonne per annum concentrator. The new 160 MW captive power plant has been commissioned at Dariba, Rajasthan.

The acquisition of Skorpion Zinc, Namibia was completed in December 2010. The acquisitions of Black Mountain Mines in South Africa and Lisheen Mines in Ireland were completed in February 2011.

In case of aluminium, hot metal production of 2,55,298 MT has been registered. The production of rods stands at 1,60,665 MT and rolled products at 66,706 MT.

The power unit registered a record sales of 2,035 million units, up 44% from the previous year. The first 600

MW unit of the 2,400 MW (600 MW x 4) independent power plant (IPP) at Jharsuguda has been commissioned and the second unit is under trial.

This year, the company also entered into the growing port sector. It has secured successful contract to construct a coal berth of `675 crore at Vizag scheduled for completion by mid-2012.

Talking about the stupendous performance, Anil Agarwal, Chairman, Sterlite Industries India Ltd, said during AGM, “Against a background of robust demand for commodities, we have delivered an exceptional financial performance, achieving record levels of production and record sales of power. Our industryleading organic growth programme, supplemented by strategic acquisitions, places Sterlite in a strong position to capitalise on the growing demand for commodities, and will underpin our objective to deliver growth and long-term value for our shareholders.

Q2 PERFORMANCEAs far as Sterlite Industries Limited’s Q2FY12 results are concerned, higher input costs led to a decline in EBITDA margins. The topline came at ̀ 10,133.8 crore, which was 67% higher YOY and 3% higher QOQ. On the back

Sterlite Industries India Ltd (SIL) has been making rapid strides when it comes to organic expansion plans and this is what has yet again made it among the Top 500 Manufacturing Companies. With a vision to be the world’s leading copper producer delivering sustainable value to all stakeholders by leveraging technology and best practices, SIL is best placed to take the growth curve forward.

of higher input costs, the EBITDA margin, however, declined steeply by 350 bps YOY and 60 bps YOY to 24.5%. The subsequent EBITDA stood at `2,482 crore, which was 62% higher YOY, but 10% lower QOQ. The ensuing reported PAT stood at `997.8 crore, which was 1% lower YOY and 37% lower QOQ. The reported PAT during the quarter under review was dented by foreign currency losses. Due to unprecedented depreciation of the Indian Rupee, the net impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations during the quarter resulted in a loss of `466 crore.

The subdued performance of the aluminium and power businesses during Q2FY12 impacted the overall performance of Sterlite Industries Limited. In the aluminium business, during the quarter under review, Balco reported a loss to the tune of `17 crore, while Vedanta Aluminium (VAL) reported a loss of `243 crore (Sterlite Industries Limited’s share). The subdued performance was due to a steep rise in the cost of production primarily on the back of higher coal costs. The energy business reported a sharp decline in EBIT margins. During

the quarter, the EBIT margin further declined to ~8.5% due to higher input cost (coal), from 14.08% in Q1FY12 and 34.8% in Q2FY11.

CHARTING ORGANIC GROWTHThe company has lined up investments of `200 billion in three years to establish itself as the country’s largest aluminum producer and the world’s second-largest zinc maker. This marks

a significant departure from other corporation plans to grow through foreign acquisitions.

Analysts from Prabhudas Lilladher review that Balco coal mines are expected to become operational during Q1FY13. On the clearance front, the management expects to receive an environment clearance during November and Stage-II forest clearance during Q4FY12. The company dropped its plan of adding the fourth unit of merchant-based 660MW at Talwandi Sabo due to weak outlook for merchant power market and acute shortage of domestic coal. The company would stick with its original plan of 1,980MW (660X3).

Looking forward, the company anticipates continued growth in metal consumption led by India and China, with tight supply in specific markets — particularly for copper and zinc. With significant growth in production capacities as they ramp up many of their organic expansion projects, the company is slated to post higher growth next year. Notably so, higher commodity prices are driving up input costs; the company believes that its structurally low-cost assets, combined with continuous improvement culture,

will enable it to mitigate the effects of this phenomenon.

With its industry leading organic growth programme and the successful integration of its recent strategic acquisitions, Sterlite

is very well placed to capitalise on the positive outlook for commodities demand and to continue to deliver growth and long-term value for its shareholders.

The company plans to continue to maintain its focus on mine exploration, which will be the key driver of its future growth. In the last seven years, exploration activities have added 167 mt, net of depletions to its reserve & resource base. The company is currently exploring over 6,200 sqkm area in 10 ‘Reconnaissance Permits’ (RPs).

Its total reserves & resources base as of March 31, 2011 is 313.2 mt containing 34.7 mt of zinc-lead metal and 885 million ounces of silver, thus ensuring long mine life of 25+ years.

The ramp-up of the Sindesar

Khurd mine is on track to achieve its targeted 2 mtpa capacity by the end of the year. The 100 ktpa Dariba lead smelter was commissioned during the quarter, taking the total refining capacity for lead to 185 ktpa. The new silver refinery of 350 tpa is scheduled to be commissioned in Q3 FY2012. The mining work at the underground Kayar mine has commenced and it is expected to start ore production in FY 2013-14.

iming to give consumers an unbeatable product experience, HUL is investing in formulations and constantly assessing

product performance in order to drive consumer preference in blind product tests. Modern trade continued to be the fastest growing channel in the market and winning in this channel is one of the key priorities for the company.

With such strong factors to lead growth, HUL was able to post significant figures for 2010-11. HUL posted a 6.46% increase in consolidated net profit to `2,296.05 crore for the year ended March 31, 2011. During the period, the company’s consolidated net sales stood at `19,691.02 crore — a 10.8% jump from `17,764.27 crore in the last fiscal.

While HUL did not announce the consolidated figures for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the company’s standalone net profit partly hurt by rising input costs for the period, which was at `569.15 crore — a marginal 2% decline from `581.20 crore in the year-ago period. For the year ended March 31, 2011, the company’s standalone net sales increased by 13.5% to `4,899.35 crore from `4,315.75 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal.

During the year, the domestic consumer business grew 10.9% driven by a strong 13% volume growth. PBIT margins declined by 190 bps on account of higher input cost inflation and 60 bps increase in brand investment. Net profit increased by 4.7 per cent to `2,306 crore for the full year.

The business saw growth across all segments. The home and personal care business grew by 9.8 per cent with competitive growth in both the laundry and personal wash, while personal products business grew strongly at 15.7%. The growth was broad-based across categories with skin

care delivering a particularly strong performance. The foods business grew 13.4%. Red Label tea was relaunched and continued to deliver double-digit growth. The company’s water purifier brand, Pureit, grew strongly and continued to expand its franchise with product offerings across multiple price points. Pureit now protects 4.5 million

homes. During 2010-11, HUL significantly

increased its direct retail coverage by adding over 6,00,000 outlets. This meant tripling direct coverage in rural India, contributing to 50 per cent of rural growth. Project Shaktimaan, the second phase of Project Shakti, was launched. It proved to be a key enabler for this rural expansion. “Against the backdrop of a challenging environment, we have delivered one of our strongest quarters with topline growth well ahead of the market and improved operating margins. We will continue to leverage consumer insights to deliver winning innovations and maintain relentless focus on execution, cost management and building organisational capabilities for competitive advantage,” said Harish Manwani, Chairman, HUL.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS Outstanding customer service and great in-store execution helped HUL sustain winning relationships with customers in 2010-11. Restructuring a front end selling system through a number of carefully crafted steps and streamlining the footprint has led to a sharp increase in the distribution of the brands. The FMCG giant attained several milestones in the last fiscal, they are: Household products recorded

double-digit volume growth during the period. Vim bar continues to perform well, while Domex continued on its journey to provide better and germ-free toilets to the Indian consumer. During the year, the company launched OK bar in parts of India, where the penetration

Brands and innovations are the lifeblood of HUL’s business success. Keeping pace with the changing lifestyle and consumer demand has led Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) to retain the position among the top 500 Manufacturing Companies. The undeterred spirit to keep with up the innovative streak ably supported by the very best marketing strategies will help the leading FMCG company to sustain its growth trajectory in the long run.

of dish wash bars is low.

Fabric wash recorded its highest volume growth on the back of brand innovations (Wheel) and a significant strengthening of Rin. The category witnessed significant competitive action and the company has responded strongly to defend and grow its market share in this critical portfolio.

Personal wash category recorded good growth during the year. This was driven through innovations across the portfolio (relaunch of Lifebuoy and Hamam & launch of Lux variants) backed by strong micro marketing and market development.

Dove led the premiumisation agenda with a comprehensive re-stage in the second half of the year. The brand continues to be the fastest growing brand in the category, thus gaining rapid market share. Clinic Plus strengthened its leadership position and continued to be the largest shampoo brand in the category.

Q2 PERFORMANCE HUL reported 22% YOY growth in net profit to `689 crore for the quarter ended September 2011, as compared to `566 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal. The total income grew 17% to `5,688 crore on a YOY basis. “During the quarter, domestic consumer business grew at 18.5% with a strong underlying volume growth of

9.8%. The growth has been broad based,

and ahead of the market. All segments have delivered

double-digit growth for the third consecutive quarter,” said a company statement.

“Against the backdrop of a challenging environment, we have delivered one of our strongest quarters with topline growth well ahead of the market and improved operating margins,” said Manwani.

ANALYSTS’ FEEDBACKWhile volume growth was maintained at close to 8-10% in 1HFY12, the management expects that comps will become increasingly tougher in 2HFY12, when the average volume growth comp is 13.5%. According to Nomura Equity Research analysis, this level of volume growth will be difficult to sustain, both in terms of having a high base effect, as well as in an environment when advertising & promotion (A&P) spend is relatively low.

After announcing the results, management commented that the FMCG sector had shown solid growth during the quarter, although this was increasingly being led by pricing impact rather than by volume growth. The company does expect some moderation in volume growth and for contribution of pricing to revenue growth to be larger. The company continues to have

a strong innovation pipeline with new launches and relaunches done during the quarter across the portfolio. This also helped with volume growth in the quarter, although the impact is difficult to quantify. The management mentioned that as per data received from AC Nielsen, urban growth was ahead of rural growth. However, internal data suggests otherwise with rural growth outpacing urban growth. This could also have impacted the overall growth for the company as consumers’ aspiration to trade up in rural areas is still high, which could have benefitted the company, particularly in the soaps and detergents segment.

As per Nomura Financial Advisory and Securities India estimates, high competitive intensity will keep margins under pressure, which is believed not to be captured in the current stock price. FMCG markets are expected to grow, though there would be a change in the mix of volume and price. Input costs will continue to remain high, with the added challenge of volatility. The

c o m p e t i t i v e environment is also expected to remain intense. HUL’s strategy and focus remains consistent to robustly defend and strengthen leadership positions, and concurrently lead market development of categories and channels of future.

ommencing operations in 1991, Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL) is one of India’s leading steel manufacturers with

a significant presence in mining, power generation and infrastructure. JSPL is an integrated steel producer (3 mtpa) and the largest coal-based sponge iron manufacturer in the world with a capacity of 1.37 mtpa. The company enjoys significant competitive advantage through vertical integration — right from 100% captive coal and iron ore smines to captive power generation facilities.

2010-11 was a financially rewarding year for JSPL, owing to higher steel production & sales, diversified product basket and extensive global reach. The consolidated income stood at `13,193.59 crore in 2010-11, as compared to `11,152.82 crore in 2009-10. EBIDTA increased to `6,398.59 crore in 2010-11 from `5,907.99 crore in 2009-10. Profit after tax escalated to `3,804.01 crore in 2010-11 from `3,634.56 crore in 2009-10. The company’s future strategy would be to sustain and improve on this operational and financial performance, while remaining steadfast to deep-rooted values that have nourished the organisation since inception.

Energy represents a key input for steel making and the backbone for social advancement. JSPL has commissioned a 300-MW (2x150 MW)-phase-I, out of 600 MW (4x150 MW) power project at Dongamahua, Chhattisgarh, to address the additional power requirements. The company is also setting up captive power plants as part of its integrated steel plants at Angul, Orissa, and Patratu, Jharkhand, for meeting their power requirements. It has also forayed into wind energy currently operating a 24 MW wind

mill in Maharashtra as a part of its commitment to a carbon-free world. Besides, Jindal Power Limited (JPL), a company promoted by JSPL, is planning to set up an environment-friendly thermal and hydro power projects across India.

Q2 PERFORMANCEAs per Edelweiss Securities Ltd estimates, the power business of JSPL registered the following record:

In Chhattisgarh, the regulated tariff has increased from `2.3/unit to `3/unit in October. This will provide upside to revenue from 2x135 MW and the 330 MW powerplants from Q3FY12 onwards, which will result in a positive PAT going forward for the 2x135 MW power plant. JSPL expects merchant power tariff, which are `3.6-3.75/unit, to move up to `4.5/unit in FY13. Beyond the 3x135 MW power units currently, the company is unlikely to commission more than 1 unit for the rest of FY12. Most of the balance 7x135 MW units would be commissioned in March 2012. The primary reason is that the company is awaiting the commencement of its captive coal mine near Angul in March 2012. All approvals are in place for the mine and hence, JSPL is confident of commencing mining in March 2012. All the 10 units are physically complete and most of the `56bn capex is done.Steel BusinessIn H1FY12, the sales volume was 1.05 mt. JSPL expects to maintain or marginally increase this run-rate in H2FY12 leading to FY12E volume of 2-2.2mt. It expects 10% YOY growth

in FY13E, thus implying a total volume of 2.2-2.4 mt. The company is revising assumptions for FY12 from 2.4 mt to 2.2 mt and for FY13 from 2.6 mt to 2.4 mt. For FY12, the production volume is estimated at

2.5mt. Of the difference between sales and production volume, part will be utilised for its steel project at Angul with balance being for inventory increase and yield loss.

JSPL is seeing a ramp up in its relatively new product portfolio of medium/light sections, wire rods and bars, which is helping volumes in a weak environment. Its downstream capacity is 4 mtpa versus 3 mtpa crude steel capacity with a wide

Values when actively pursued with deep conviction can generate tremendous wellsprings of energy and focus. This is the true spirit of JSPL, which has taken it among the Top 500 Manufacturing Companies. With the spirit of entrepreneurship, innovation and optimum utilisation of resources, JSPL is charting the success route.

product portfolio – plates, HRC, flanges/beams, sections, wire rods and bars –provide flexibility to change mix as per the market environment. The company has also started using distributors. JSPL maintained pellet production and sales volume guidance at 4 mt and 2 mt, respectively, for both FY12 and FY13.

The Angul steel project is on schedule — 1 mtpa plate mill in Mar-12, 2.2 mtpa DRI and 1.6 mtpa steel plant in Sep-12. Of the total project cost of `150bn, the company has spent `95bn till date including `29bn on captive power units. The project is being funded in D:E of 70:30. The entire project equity has already been infused by JSPL. All incremental funding is to be through debt. The company is confident of running gas-based DRI project at Angul considering a similar plant in Oman (Shadeed) and the successful completion of a pilot plant for gas production. As far as international business is concerned, the Bolivia project is moving slowly due to political challenges/local issues and the company is not guiding any specific volumes going forward from this project.

PROJECTS UNDER IMPLEMENTATIONSteel Plant in Angul, Orissa: The company is at an advanced stage of implementation of this project. All major orders for engineering, equipment supply and construction works have been placed. Target date of commissioning of the steel plant is March 2012.Steel plant in Patratu, Jharkhand: The company is setting up an integrated steel plant in Patratu in the state of Jharkhand. The steel plant is expected to be commissioned in second half of 2013.Machinery Division,

Raipur, Chhattisgarh: The company is expanding production capacity of this division from 5,100 to 10,000 metric tonnes per annum.

STRONG PROSPECTSAlthough operating in a challenging macro-economic scenario, 2010-11 has been a busy and fruitful year for JSPL nationally and internationally. Domest ica l ly , the company commenced operations at the wire rod mill and bar mill at its Patratu, Jharkhand, plant. Moreover, it has considerably enhanced domestic investments for the creation of additional capacities and capabilities to emerge as a significant player in the steel sector. Internationally, the company is focussing on the acquisition of iron ore and coal mines in Australia, Indonesia, South American and African countries to ensure raw material security. The acquired Shadeed Iron & Steel Co.

LLC (SISCO), a company incorporated under the laws of the Sultanate of Oman in 2010, through its 100% subsidiary Jindal Steel & Power, Mauritius, has been commissioned in record time and commercial operations began in December 2010, four months ahead of schedule.

Through subsidiary

Jindal Steel Bolivia SA (JSB), JSPL acquired the development rights for 20 billion tonne of EL Mutun Iron Ore Reserves in Bolivia. Moreover, there are plans to build a 2.52 MMTPA natural gas-based Midrex Direct Reduction Plant. This new plant will be the single largest module till date of any commercial direct reduction technology in the world. The company also commenced the dispatch of iron

ore from the EL Mutun mines recently. Iron ore from here will be transported mainly to China, the Middle East and the European & South American countries through the Parana Paraguay Hidrovia river way. It will be the first time that iron ore from JSB will be exported.

JSPL’s steel business is attractive considering captive raw

materials (iron

ore and thermal coal) and improved product mix, including pellets. The company’s steel volumes are expected to increase in FY13 and FY14, led by the ramp up of existing capacity and the Angul project.

EBITDA margins of the existing power business of 1,000 MW are among the highest in India, due to captive coal and merchant tariffs. FY13 will see an upside from its 10x135 MW power plants. Upsides also likely from the company’s coal projects in Mozambique and Indonesia.
