OPERATING SCENARIO

At Macro Level - Domestic & Exports

During the year, low export demand from China has been weighing heavily on cotton till now. But prices are expected to move northwards in the near to medium term as the minimum support price (MSP) for kharif crops are likely to be revised and a deficient monsoon will affect sowing of cotton. Cotton prices had touched the four-year low as they dipped to Rs 13,990 per bale in the third week of January. Prices had seen a high of Rs 21,440 per bale in May 2014. In 2014-15, cotton prices have been falling continuously and trading on a negative note because of higher production and lower export demand from China. The off take by China, which used to buy 50 per cent of Indian cotton, came down to 10 per cent this time. Against 11.79 million bales of cotton exported in 2013-14, only 4.5 million bales have been exported till now in 2014-15. As the price of kapas or raw cotton fell below MSP, the Cotton Corporation of India hiked the procurement of cotton from farmers. CCI has procured over 86 lakh bales of cotton in 2014-15 against 40,800 bales in the previous year. The global tender will be one of the factors that will support the prices in the near to medium term. Further, the Government is expected to revise MSP of most kharif crops in shortly. Once kapas prices are revised, it will have a bearing on the prices of ginned cotton as well. The other cause of current distress is high volatility, either coming from vagaries of nature or tumbling prices. Today, it is not only unseasonal rains and hailstorms, but also crash in prices of several Agri-commodities, be it potatoes or corn or cotton. Their tumbling prices have slashed farmers' incomes substantially, and the MSP system is benefiting less than 10% of the farmers. It is the efforts of Indian companies to take the initiative of the Trans-Pacific Partnership [TPP] trade deal which will offer a boost to the local garment and textile industry.

Man-made fibre yarn as well as woven and knitted fabrics, in addition to Garments, have been extended a 2 percent incentive (in the form of fully transferable duty scrips) in the EU, the US, Canada and Japan. However, sops in these markets do not help yarn and fabric producers, as they export very little to these markets. The Merchandise Export Incentive Scheme (MEIS), however, ignores markets such as China, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Vietnam and South Korea, which are major destinations for yarn and fabric from India. India's only major hope in textiles now is as supplier of raw cotton. But that would imply it getting confined to the upstream and lower end of the textile value chain. Exports of raw cotton during April-February 2015 have declined by 41.32 per cent in quantity terms and 46.6 per cent in value terms as compared to same period 201314. As exports account for a substantial share of India's production of cotton, the decline in exports has resulted in a surplus for the domestic market and has impacted the cotton growers. Unseasonal rains in central parts of the country including Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh has resulted in loss of about five lakh bales (of 170 kg each) of cotton this season to September.

Technology should be evaluated on a cost-benefit basis. At present, the Indian spinning industry is essentially paying for the R&D done abroad. Unless this scenario changes, this arrangement cannot be in the best interest of our nation. But technology is such an extremely powerful tool that every new development has to be evaluated for its merits. Ignoring key technological developments is extremely dangerous. Embracing any bought-out technology far ahead too early or far behind too late the pack will be monetarily disadvantageous. Textile exporters are feeling let down by the new foreign trade policy (FTP), which they said has ignored the cotton yarn sector. The estimated exports for the Textile& Clothing sector during the previous fiscal year (2014-2015) is approximately US$ 35.96 billion against US$ 34.29 billion in fiscal2013-2014 marking a growth of 4.88%.

The impact of measures for improvement in the performance will be reflected in the current year's financial parameters.

FUTURE OUTLOOK-TECHNICAL FRONT

In view ofthe economical, technical & financial viability and to centralize the production & marketing activities, your company had consolidated/closed down the operation at various units ofthe company during previous year. The impact of the these efforts has been shown for whole year during this financial year and resulted to reduce the losses. At the yarn manufacturing units located at Haridwar, some major technical contribution has been carried out by inducting machineries or manufacturing of soft yarn which is in good demand in the Rugs segment. Unit has also planned comprehensive modernization of technical support to improve thequality as well as quantity.

The Weaving and Processing units manufacture Furnishing & Automotive Fabric for export and domestic segments. There has been a significant growth of market share in US, UK, Middle East, South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Japan during the fiscal year 2014-15, parallel to the same trend as compared to previous year. The competition has intensified but the pace with which this segment has been growing due to the novelty and uniqueness of designs/patterns. The economic scenario in Europe/US is showing signs of revival and resultant, the demand for fabric in these regions will go up. Due to recent pick up in the export demand and the offering of variety, the turnover is expected to increase in the coming years.

GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES- TEXTILE SECTOR

Zero central Excise Duty Route as existed in the past is being continued on Yarn, Fabric, Clothing Accessories & Made-Ups, provided the CENVAT Credit Route is not adopted by the unit/assesses, as per current union budget 2015-2016.

Textile exporters are feeling let down by the new Foreign Trade Policy (FTP), which has ignored the cotton yarn sector. The Commerce Ministry announced the much-awaited FTP which outlines the vision, goals and objectives for the country's export-import sector for 2015-20, with the high export targets set by the government. The sectors like textile and clothing, the second-largest employment provider in the country, has not got its due in the FTP. The textile sector has been granted duty scrips of 2 per cent only for mainstream cotton textile products at a time when it's facing challenges in the form of high tariffs and barriers due to preferential tariff arrangements. In contrast, higher rates have been given for hand looms, carpets, coir products under the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS).Sectors like cotton yarn have been totally ignored, especially at a time when exports of these products have declined sharply and face high logistics cost. Under FTP 2015-2020 some amendments have been notified like omission of Provision related to EPCG authorization on annual requirement and technological upgradation of existing EPCG Machinery. The limit on value of spares imported has now been relaxed, validity ofthe authorization is now limited to 18 months from the date of issue of such authorization, export of restricted goods under the authorization now allowed. In the backdrop of nationwide farmer distress, particularly among cotton farmers, the government has been urged to allow farmers to use the reusable straight line BN Bt cotton seed and other similar varieties as against those non-reusable hybrid seeds being sold by corporate.

Union Budget 2015-16 has evoked mixed response from the Indian textile industry. Budget ignored the highly labour intensive textile industry which has significant potential for growth. The only positive aspect ofthe Budget for the textile sector was the continuation of the optional excise duty regime. Fresh investments will be impossible under the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) during 2015-16, owing to reduction in allocation for the scheme from Rs 1864 crore in 2014-15 to Rs 1520 crore for 2015-16. There is no funds available for fresh investments under the scheme as of now. Increase in service tax to 14 per cent will have an adverse impact on the textile industry. The hike in effective rate of excise duty on manmade fibres from 12.36 per cent to 12.5 per cent under the current Budget will also negatively affect the industry. However it has marked a good beginning to achieve the 'Make in India' vision. The government is extending the optional CENVAT route for cotton textiles and also for the announcement of implementing GST with effect from 1 April, 2016. The decision in the reduction in corporate tax from 30 per cent to 25 per cent is a positive feature. All industries Duty drawback rate should be enhanced immediately after taking into account the new incidence of service Tax, excise duty and increase of excise duty on diesel.
