India Economic News:
GDP may grow 5.6% next fiscal:
India Ratings
The economy is likely to grow 5.6 % in the
next fiscal, India Ratings and Research has
said. This is lower than the Government’s
estimate of 6 %.
IMF has projected a growth rate of 5.4 %
while NCAER says it will be 5.6%. The
World Bank has given most optimistic
estimate of 6 %. Growth in 2013-14 is
estimated at 4.9 %.
“The economic growth in FY15 (2014-15) is
likely to be contributed majorly by the
industrial sector, which is estimated to grow
by 4.1 %. This is good news for centre as
well state government finances,” it said in a
report on public finances. State finances
were likely to remain resilient to the
slowdown, it said, estimating some slippage
in the fiscal deficit of states, which could go
up to 2.3 % against 2.2 % in 2013-14.
Value added tax (VAT) on petroleum
products could pose a concentration risk for
the consolidated state finances if crude oil
prices decline, though this presently looks
difficult. The petroleum sector contributed
nearly 30 % (with a growth of 14.4 % on
yearly basis) to the VAT collection of states.
Aggregate debt of states as a percentage of
GDP is likely to increase to 21.7 % in the
current fiscal from the budgeted estimate of
21.5 %. Despite this slippage, debt will be
sustainable as the agency believes nominal
growth of the economy in excess of interest
rate on debt will continue to support the
agency’s debt sustainability expectations.
However, indirect risk such as guarantee and
1
deficit, state PSUs' debt could impact the
credit profile of some states.
It expects the liquidity of state governments
to remain comfortable in 2014-15. Even in
the current fiscal most states did not face
difficulty due to a surge in investment in the
national small savings fund.
India breaks into top 10 list in 2013
With an estimated market size of $5 billion,
India's the 14th largest advertising market in
the world. And in the latest edition of the
Gunn Report, it's finally broken into the
Top 10 list of countries that have won the
most advertising awards. That's up from the
13th spot last year.
The Gunn Report is an annual publication,
authored by Donald Gunn and Emma
Wilkie, which ranks ad agencies across the
world by their wins at the top creative
awards shows. The report was first
published in 1999 and the rankings are used
by network agencies and marketers.
The report also names McCann WorldGroup India (Mumbai) as the most awarded
Indian agency, a position the agency held in
2007. Taproot India (Mumbai), which
topped the India chart in 2012 has slipped to
the number 2 spot. In joint third position
are JWT India (Mumbai) and Leo Burnett
India (Mumbai & Delhi). The surprise this
year is Ogilvy & Mather - from dominating
the Gunn Report between 2008 and 2012,
it's at the 5th spot this year.
"When I joined advertising, India was like an
isolated island. But now the global
advertising fraternity can relate to us with
strong brand building and some great
creative work," says Prasoon Joshi,
Executive Chairman, McCann World-Group
India. Joshi admits such recognition helps an
agency attract and nurture great talent.
"Different award shows honor different
kind of craft. But the Gunn Report gives the
holistic picture about an agency," he says.
Company officials added that the project
would employ around 140 personnel,
including
physicians,
paramedical
professionals, registered nurses, support and
administrative staff. The majority of the
clinical staff is from Naryana Health, with
doctors trained and worked in the UK or the
US, company officials said.
Narayana Health opens hospital in
Cayman Islands
Cipla bets big on cell therapy
The hospital founded by Devi Shetty, which
was a pioneer in low-cost hospitals, has
opened a multi-care hospital in Cayman
Islands, which will be a 104-bed hospital
providing open-heart and bypass surgery,
angioplasty,
heart-valve
replacement,
paediatrics and orthopaedics, including joint
replacements, according to a company
statement. This hospital will be spread
across 107,000 square feet in the Caribbean
region, which has a population of
approximately 40 million and located close
to Jamaica, which is a 90-minute flight from
Miami in Florida.
With the setting up of this hospital, for the
first time an Indian hospital chain has
ventured outside the country and as per
company plans, the project aims to have
2,000 beds. The project was jointly done by
Narayana Health and Ascension Health
Alliance, a large private non-profit
healthcare network in the US, according to
company officials.
Stem cells are set to be a major branch of
medical treatment, says Cipla Chairman YK
Hamied. Regenerative medicine, or cell
therapy, is a rapidly emerging area of
biomedical research and would be an ideal
supplement for existing medical treatments,
he added.
Cell therapy refers to treatments that are
founded on the concept of producing new
cells to replace malfunctioning or damaged
cells as a vehicle to treat disease and injury.
“We have a research unit in Malaysia that is
conducting research on stem cells,” Hamied
said while speaking about Stempeutics
Research with which it has an alliance. The
Manipal Group-promoted Stempeutics is
developing stem cell-based medicinal
products with facilities in Kuala Lumpur
(Malaysia) and Bangalore.
The enormous potential of stem cells in the
treatment of chronic and several incurable
diseases is boosting the overall stem cells
therapy market, he added.
This is a $2 billion project that will be built
in phases over 15 years on a 200-acre site
and apart from a tertiary-care hospital. It will
include an educational facility, biotech park
and a home for aged people.
Poised to reach an estimated $88.3 billion by
2015, the global stem cells market has been
growing at a compounded annual growth
rate of 14.8 %, driven by the increasing
demand of stem cell therapy.
Ashutosh Raghuvanshi, Vice-Chairman, MD
& Group CEO, Narayana Health, said: “The
Cayman Islands has a safe and stable
economy and is geographically positioned to
serve the Caribbean and the Americas.”
In India, the stem cell business is expected
to touch $8 billion by 2015. With three
phase II clinical trials in progress in India –
for critical limb Ischemia (meaning
restriction in blood supply to tissues),
osteoarthritis and liver cirrhosis –
2
Stempeutics aims to bring the first product
into the Indian and Malaysian markets by
2015.
Under the alliance, Cipla has invested over
USD 8 million in Stempeutics, with a focus
on research of stem cell-based products, and
has done something similar in China, where
it has streamlined its investments towards its
core business. The drug-maker recently
exited a significant part of its investment in
its Chinese partner Desano Holdings.
Despite the lack of legislation and
awareness, besides quality and ethical issues
that have deterred growth of the stem cell
therapy business in India, the country
remains the top priority for the Mumbaibased drug-maker.
“India is still the best. Yes, we have units in
China and conduct research in Malaysia, but
we have always been very nationalist
minded,” said Hamied. “We have always
held that the (Indian) Government can do
more for domestic companies. They should
give us infrastructure, strengthen indigenous
manufacturers.”
SpiceJet orders 42 Boeing 737s in
$4.4-bn deal
Low-cost airline SpiceJet is revamping its
network strategy to save costs and improve
yields. The measures include closure of fivehour or longer international flights and
deploying aircraft on shorter routes which
would help increase revenue.
The Sun group-controlled airline signed a $
4.4-billion deal for 42 fuel-efficient Boeing
737 Max planes. The planes would be
delivered from 2018 onwards. These would
be financed with a sale and leaseback model.
3
“We are looking at every aspect of
procurement. We are introducing a new
schedule and changing flight patterns which
will improve productivity of pilots and crew
by 20%. We are replacing aircraft seats with
lighter seats, which will reduce aircraft
weight by up to one tonne. Our own time
performance has improved. We have also
intensified our marketing efforts and this has
showed results,” said SpiceJet chief
operating officer Sanjiv Kapoor. Amongst
the routes it has dropped include DelhiGuangzhou and Delhi-Riyadh, both over
five hours long, and is replacing them with
shorter flights.
Kapoor said he wants SpiceJet to be an ultra
low-cost airline but admitted that managing
costs in India was a challenge.Currently,
SpiceJet has a fleet of 56 planes comprising
41 Boeing 737s and 15 Bombardier Q400
turbo year 737 prop planes. The airline
would induct five Boeing 737 each till 2017.
SpiceJet has been facing financial turbulence
with high operating costs leading to losses.
In the last couple of months, the airline has
been launching discount offers which many
industry experts say is an indication of cash
flow problem.
However, Kapoor said the offers had
significantly improved the unit revenue of
the airline in last two months in comparison
to the same period last year. (A unit revenue
measures the cash earned by an airline
divided by total capacity).
Maruti to set up brand centres
across India to showcase its
products and technologies
Maruti Suzuki is on a drive to boost its
image from being a maker of small cars to
one that manufactures technologicallyadvanced vehicles across several segments.
The nation's largest carmaker will set up
brand centres at upmarket locations across
India to showcase its products and emerging
technologies.
The strategy assumes significance as the first
phase of its Gujarat plant is now funded
entirely by its Japanese parent, Suzuki
Motor, through a wholly-owned unit. That
leaves Maruti with room to invest its cash
surplus of USD 1.16 billion in other areas.
Maruti plans to set up these centres at 16
prominent and strategic markets that
generate more than half its sales. In the first
phase, it has shortlisted places like Kolkata,
Kochi, Chandigarh, Chennai, Jaipur, Indore
and Bangalore.
"The company is in the process of acquiring
land across different strategic locations,
which are either state capitals or located in
the vicinity of its regional marketing offices,"
a senior Maruti Suzuki executive said. These
16 centres would purely engage customers to
new products and modern technologies that
the company plans to debut in India.
It plans to spend about USD 10 million each
to buy properties in posh locations with the
total investment expected to be in the region
of USD 170 million. The company would
develop impressive boutique structures at
these places. These centres will cater to only
brands and will not transact any kind of
commercial business of selling or servicing
cars.
Maruti is concentrating not just on small
compact cars business, but is also
increasingly diversifying into new areas like
multi-utility, crossovers and sport-utility
vehicles, which now form more than 20% of
the Indian passenger vehicle market. It had
successfully
launched
the
Ertiga
multipurpose vehicle in 2012 and it plans to
debut the all-new SX4 S-Cross and the
CIAZ sedan later this year.
Besides, a range of SUVs and light
commercial vehicles are also on its list for
the future. The brand centres would
4
showcase new products and allow customers
to directly interact with the company, a
move that Maruti expects will help generate
long-term positive brand perception.
Maruti already owns around half-a-dozen
plush sales outlets. Located at prime
locations in Mumbai and central Delhi, these
outlets have been handed over to dealers to
transact commercial business. These prime
showrooms operating in shopping hotspot
and glitzy malls in the metros have helped
Maruti penetrate deeper into larger urban
markets that account for a major chunk of
the new cars sold in India.
Honda plans India R&D unit with
investment of USD 80 million to
develop affordable cars
Japanese carmaker Honda Motors is
planning to set up a subsidiary in India that
would work towards developing cars for the
local market and increasing the use of
locally-made components in its existing
vehicles to make them more affordable.
The facility, Honda Genbetsu India
(HGID), would focus on research and
development and is likely to come up at the
company's existing manufacturing plant at
Greater Noida.
It already has local R&D operations, which
would likely be separated into the new unit,
they said. The unit will likely come at an
initial investment of around USD 80 million.
According to sources in the automotive
industry, this facility will extend support for
Honda's localisation strategy for its running
models as well as provide designing support
for some upcoming India-specific models in
the near-term.
After developing a phenomenally fuel
efficient diesel engine and lining up some
interesting products like the Mobilio
multipurpose vehicle and the Jazz premium
hatchback for India, Honda is enthusiastic
about its prospects in the Indian auto
market.
It plans to develop smaller cars focusing on
the Indian market where HGID would play
a critical role. Honda sales have zoomed
after the launch of its diesel cars, especially
the Amaze.
Honda became the fourth largest carmaker
in India in January, overtaking Tata Motors
and Toyota Kirloskar Motors. It sold 15,714
cars in January, nearly three times compared
with a year earlier. Honda is committed to
the Indian market and will expand the focus
of its R&D operations towards more Indiaoriented products in coming years.
