Economic analysis:
During the fiscal year 2003-04, India’s GDP which grew by 8.10% was principally on account of a
strong recovery in the agriculture sector and accelerated growth in the industry and services
sectors. A growth rate higher than 8% has been achieved in the past in only three years - 1967-
68, 1975-76 and 1988-89. Exports have grown by 17.1% in 2003-04 in USD terms. While the
rupee appreciated against USD in 2003-04, it depreciated against the currencies of major non –
dollar-trading partners. Foreign exchange reserves crossed the levels of USD 100 billion mark on
December 2003 and stood at USD 199.3 billion as on 31st March 2004. Foreign Institutional
Investors (FIIs) investments saw a sharp rise during the year, which amounted to USD 10 billion.
Overall economic conditions look positive and expected to post a GDP growth of 6-6.5% during
FY05.
GRAPH 2: SHOWING INDIA’S REAL GDP GROWTH
As chart also shows, growth in nonagricultural GDP remained solid during 2004. Although a
breakdown of Indian real GDP into its demand components is not readily available, it is likely
that India’s strong nonagricultural growth performance last year was due entirely too robust
domestic demand. The 10% rise in the production of consumer goods last year and the 20%
increase in auto sales suggest that consumer spending has been very strong indeed. Consumer
spending in India has been supported recently by strong income growth as growth in real per
capita GDP has averaged 3.8% per annum since 2000.India has liberalized its economy over the
past decade or so, much more needs to be done, and better allocation of resources,
domestically and internationally, has contributed to this strong growth in per capita income.
The Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is estimated to have grown by 8.10% in 2003-04,
buoyed by a strong agricultural recovery. While the agricultural sector grew by 9.1% during the
FY04, the industry and services sectors have also maintained their momentum with the GDP
growth by achieving a growth rate of 6.5% and 8.4% respectively during the year. The growth
GDP has grown by 7.4% during April-June 2004 period, lower than the 8.2% growth registered
in January-March 2004 and 10.5% in October-December 2003 quarter. Inflation is also inching
up higher, driven by increases in fuel and commodity prices. Non food credit has increased by
11.5% during the April-September 2004 period as against previous corresponding year’s 6%
indicating the progressive economic activities. But the global crude oil shock will definitely have
an adverse affect on the growth during fiscal 005
GRAPH 3: INFLATION
The average inflation during fiscal year 2003-04 was around 5.5% as against the previous
corresponding fiscals average of 3.4%, the prime movers being sugar, edible oils, textiles,
leather and leather products, basic metals, alloys, iron and steel. With the increase of few
commodity prices mainly the crude oil prices have increased the global inflation levels from
June 2004, India being no exception to this. The domestic fuel prices have risen by more than 10%
during the fiscal 2004-05 over last years. The inflation during the fiscal year 2004-05 touched three and a
half years high of 8.33% for the week ended August 28th 2004 from 5.55% for the week ended June 5 th
2004 due to the excess money supply in the economy. The reasons for the high inflation are both
domestic and international. The domestic reasons include excess liquidity in the market and delay in
monsoon that increased the prices of essential commodities. M3, the measure of money supply grew by
15.5 per cent in July 2004, compared to 11.25 per cent in July 2003. The international causes are
inexorable rise in oil prices, global increase in the prices of commodities, supply side shock and growth
in china’s demand for goods. This is cost-push inflation wherein the supply problems in a few important
commodities push up prices of commodities. Since crude oil import constitute almost one third of the
total exports, we can say that the present situation is on account of imported inflation. To check the
rising prices, government took some measures like duty cuts on steel and oil products. Reserve Bank of
India raised the Cash Reserve Ratio to 5% from 4.5% in two tranches of 25 basis points and has also cut
the rate of interest payable on eligible cash balances maintained with it by banks by 250 basis points to
3.5 percent. In fact, the gradual reduction in the CRR over the past few years in successive credit policies
had been one of the major contributors for the sustained reduction in the interest rates on auto loans.
These moves were expected to draw out around Rs.8000 crore from the banking system. Later, the
inflation was reduced to 7.20% in the last week of September. With the increase in the interest rates the
auto loans will become costlier, thus having an adverse effect on the auto industry sales. The average
inflation for the fiscal 2004- 05 is expected to stay around 6-6.5%.
Industry Analysis:
Sales:
The automobile industry growth relies mainly on the country’s economic and general
conditions. Any slowdown in the economic momentum would definitely slowdown the growth
of the industry. It can be seen from the below chart that the industry’s sales is positively
correlated with the economic growth with a co-relation of 0.96.
Rubber Prices:
With the increase in rural activities, the commercial vehicles are expected to grow. Sports
Utility Vehicles (SUV) after being a very big hit in the domestic market, the players now are
planning to introduce them to the domestic market. But the increase in the input prices like
steel and rubber has a negative impact on the industry profitability. The trucker’s strike has
affected the auto player’s production and distribution to certain extent.
GRAPH 5: SHOWING RUBBER PRICES
A combination of internal and external factors has contributed to the price volatility in the
rubber market. Since the domestic prices of rubber are less than the global prices, the tyre
manufacturers in other countries, sourcing natural rubber from India which has led to the
increase in the exports thereby reducing the domestic stock levels to less than sixty days of
consumption of the rubber user’s sector. Also, the subsidy given by the government for exports
of rubber has resulted in an increase in the exports.
The steel prices
The steel prices are on rise following a sharp increase in the prices of raw materials like iron
ore, coke, coal, power, gas and scrap. While the cost of iron ore went up by 75% during the
period June2003 to July 2004, the scrap prices jumped up by 91%. Coke’s prices saw an increase
of 50% during the same period. There are no signs of decline in the prices of steel products
following a strong demand from the housing and infrastructure sectors, with additional growth
potential in the auto and consumer durables sectors too. With China taking steps to cool down
its overheated economy, demand from that country is expected to slow down. But any shortfall
in demand from China may be offset by growth in demand in the US, Europe and Japan as
economic recovery gathers momentum leaving no scope for the steel price declines in the near
short term
