MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

Forming part of the Report of the Directors for the year ended 31st March, 2015

1. Economy

The global economy is still under stress for gaining momentum as many high-income countries continue to grapple with the past impacts of the global financial crisis. In 2014, the global economy grew by 2.6% (United Nations WESP report 2015). Growth was driven by developing economies, sustained growth in the United States (US) and a moderate revival in European Union. Emerging economies continue to remain as less vibrant than in the past. After rising slightly in 2014, to 2.6 percent, world GDP will grow by an estimated 3.0 percent in 2015 and 3.3 percent in 2016, supported by gradual recovery in high-income countries, low oil prices, and receding domestic headwinds in developing countries. Developing economies are projected to see a raise in growth from 4.4 percent in 2014 to 4.8 percent and 5.3 percent in 2015 and 2016 respectively.

The Indian economy posted 7.4% growth in the financial year 2014-15 (Central Statistics Office 2011-12 base years, Advance Estimates) as against 6.9% in the financial year 2013-14. Industrial sector gained momentum with Manufacturing, Construction and Electricity & Utilities growing by 6.8%, 4.5% and 9.6% respectively as against 5.3%, 2.5% and 4.8% in the previous year. However, mining slowed down to 2.3% from 5.4% and the Agricultural sector slowed down to 1.1% from 3.7% in the previous year. Overall, improved business sentiment, lower oil prices and policy measures helped the economy to build momentum.

After years of diminutive growth the reform momentum has picked up in India. Inflation has declined by over 6 percentage points since late 2013, and the current account deficit has shrunken from a peak of 6.7 percent of GDP (in Q3, 2012-13) to an estimated 1.0 percent in the coming fiscal year. Going ahead it is widely expected that a further momentum to growth will be provided by declining oil prices and increasing monetary easing facilitated by ongoing moderation in inflation. Simulating the effects of tax cuts, declining oil prices will add spending power to households, thereby boosting consumption and growth. Oil is also a significant input in production and declining prices will shore up profit margins and hence balance sheets of the corporate sector.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Emerging markets were characterised by a sharp fall in growth rates, especially in China. Europe and Japan continued to be under pressure all through the year, while US showed tepid signs of improvement. In the domestic market, better macroeconomic conditions, coupled with improved sentiment post the general elections, helped India to be among the better performing emerging market economies. There was a slight increase in the GDP growth, while inflation moderated and the Rupee remained relatively stable during the year. Given the backdrop of a market slowdown coupled with a volatile input cost environment and heightened competitive intensity, the operating environment for the year continued to be challenging. Your Company’s performance for the year 2014-15 has to be viewed in the context of aforesaid economic and market environment.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Steel industry

In 2014, global steel demand expanded by a mere 0.6% to 1.537 billion tonnes, primarily due to contraction of demand in emerging economies like China, Brazil, Russia and Turkey. Chinese demand fell by 3.3% in the year to 710.8 million tonnes, with the outlook for 2015 and 2016 showing signs of reducing further by 0-5% year-on-year (yoy). Developed nations like USA, Germany, South Korea and Japan continued to show growth support during the year. The global steel demand for 2015 and 2016 is forecast to grow by 0.5% and 1.6% respectively to a level of 1.544 and 1.565 billion tonnes. Overall global crude steel production expanded by 1.2%, to 1.66 billion tonnes, from 1.64 billion tonnes in 2013. In 2014, India retained its position as the 4th largest steel producing country in the world, behind China, Japan and the USA. The crude steel production grew by 2.3% to 83.2 million tonnes, while steel demand grew by 2.2% to 75.3 million tonnes.

The Indian GDP growth expanded to 7.2% in 2014 due to improving economic sentiments post the election of a new government. However, demand at the grass root level remained stagnant and is only expected to pick up from 2015. Consequently, steel demand grew at 2.2% in the year, though the domestic steel industry suffered due to the influx of cheap imported products, especially from China. This led to India becoming a net importer of steel in the year, a trend which had been successfully reversed in 2013. During the year, steel exports from India were at 5.3 million tonnes while imports registered at 7.8 million tonnes. Indian GDP is likely to grow at a rate higher than 7.5% in 2015, while steel demand is expected to grow by 6.2% in the year. The automobile sector is on the path to recovery and likely to grow from 3.8% in 2014 to 11.4% in 2015. Meanwhile, the construction sector is expected to grow by 6.9%, compared to a growth rate of 4.1% in 2014. Financial Year 2014-15 has been a year of achievements for your Company despite the severe impact of externalities. The Company was severely impacted by the raw material (RM) crisis. However, the Company was able to tide over the same through strategic and proactive cross-functional planning.

Agro industry (wheat products)

Increase in urbanization, income level of population and other related factors has led to the steady growth of the food industry. Our company produces wheat products such as atta, suji, bran etc. which are sold in markets of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal etc.

In the Agro segment, Company is forecasting a superb growth on account of strategic market capturing in this segment through channel and network of dealers and distributors. Our wheat products, i.e, Atta, Maida, & Suji, are presently being packed in only above 50 Kg each under the brand name of "Gallantt". The brand name, "Gallantt" has been widely accepted with a huge demand even directly from the consumers due to its superior quality. We are enriching our product portfolio by adding small packing of 2, 5, 10 & 20 Kgs so as to cater the needs of direct consumers.

OPPURTUNITIES AND THREATS

Opportunities for our steel division

The Steel industry is the foundation industry of any economy, especially in developing countries whose material intensity is likely to increase significantly in the future, for infrastructure development and growth in manufacturing sector. India certainly is one such economy that is poised to grow significantly over the next decade with its per capita consumption nearly at one-fourth of the global average. A competitive and efficient domestic steel industry is a pre-requisite for India to succeed in its industrial vision for ‘Make in India’. The Government of India aims to triple the steel capacity to 300 million tonnes by 2025. The positive attitude of the new government has promised to focus on infrastructure development while de-bottlenecking the administrative and clearance climate in the country.

Opportunities for our agro division

As there is a gap between production and consumption in the agro sector, Gallantt has made efforts to bridge this gap by supplying the required quantity of wheat products manufactured. The company has also been successful in grabbing an increasing market share in domestic market.

THREATS AND RISKS

GallanttIspatisexposedtovariousrisksanduncertainties and also has access to opportunities across its regional presence. The Company’s performance, future prospects and cash flow generation could be materially impacted by any of these risks or opportunities. Risk and concern has been elaborated in the Corporate Governance Report.

The year ahead appears to be challenging due to increase in competition, increasing interest rates, inflation, fluctuating markets and foreign exchange as well due to occurrence of natural calamities. The company has to overcome these issues by upgrading the current technologies used and serving to demands made by the customers. Rising fuel prices and shrinkage of the margins, Availability of finance at reasonable interest costs, Stiff competition owing to surplus capacities, volatile foreign exchange rates, Slowdown in the demand, etc. are major threats.

OUTLOOK

The company is taking all efforts to improve the quality and productivity to get more orders at competitive rates. The expansion program will push volume growth. The company’s business is committed to achieve benchmark quality besides expanding on new capacity. Further, the business will continue to focus on improving its cost competitive position. These measures will ensure the company maintaining its leadership position in the regional market. Due to the own captive power plant, the company is able to quote better rates with high quality & productivity in the finished goods manufactured. Barring unforeseen circumstances the company is confident of achieving better results in the current year. The rate at which there is increase in urbanization, income and consumer demand in India, the demand for steel will increase at a constant pace.

Your Company has adequate systems and processes of internal controls which are commensurate with its size and nature of operations. They have been designed to provide reasonable assurance with regard to recording and providing reliable financial information, complying with applicable statutes, safeguarding of assets, authorization of transactions and adherence to the Company’s policies and practices.
