among India's largest private sector companies, with consolidated net revenue of

Rs.202 billion.

Starting as a textiles manufacturer in 1948, today Grasim's businesses comprise

viscose staple fibre (VSF), cement, chemicals and textiles. Its core businesses are VSF

The amalgamation of Samruddhi Cement Limited (SCL) with UltraTech w.e.f. 1 July

2010 completed the restructuring of the cement business. Earlier, Grasim's cement

business was demerged into SCL. The merger has created the largest cement company

in India, providing a platform that will help in pursuing aggressive growth going

forward.

Industry Overview

Textile industry

The textiles industry in India enjoys a distinctive position due to the pivotal role it

plays by way of contribution to industrial output, employment generation (second

largest after agriculture) and export earnings of the country. The industry is rich and

varied, embracing the hand-spun and hand-woven sector at one end and the capital

intensive, sophisticated mill sector at the other. Its association with the ancient

culture and tradition of the country lends it a unique advantage in comparison with

textiles industry of other countries, thus giving it an uncommon edge to cater to a vast

variety of products and market segments both domestically, as well as, globally.

According to Mr Anand Sharma, Union Minister of Commerce, Industry & Textiles,

“The Indian textile industry is a key pillar of Indian manufacturing, contributing to

14% of industrial production and over 10% of Indian exports. More significantly, the

industry is the second largest employment generator next only to Agriculture engaging

35 million people across various segments in the entire value chain”.

Industry sub-sectors

The textile industry comprises the following:

• Organised Cotton/Man-Made Fibre Textiles Mill Industry

• Man-Made Fibre / Filament Yarn Industry

• Wool and Woollen Textiles Industry

• Sericulture and Silk Textiles Industry

• Handlooms, Handicrafts, the Jute and Jute Textiles Industry

• Textiles Exports

Market size

The Vision Statement for the textiles industry for the 11th Five Year Plan (2007-12)

sees India securing a 7 per cent share in the global textiles trade by 2012. At current

prices, the Indian textiles industry is valued at US$ 55 billion, 64 per cent of which

caters to domestic demand.

Total textile exports during April-March 2010-11 stood at US$ 12.5 billion as against

US$ 11.3 billion during the corresponding period of the previous year, according to the

latest data released by DGCI&S, Kolkata.

Technical Textile Segment

The technical textiles segment is expected to grow by 11 per cent per annum till 2012-

13 and is likely to grow at 6-8 per cent per annum till 2020 without any policy

interventions. If the government intervenes by way of regulatory push, the growth of

technical textiles industry can be estimated at 12-15 per cent per annum till 2020,

according to Rita Menon, Secretary, Union Ministry of Textiles. She added that the

technical textiles segment in India has the potential to attract investment and create

additional employment opportunities in coming years. She further said that

investments of US$ 1.1 billion are expected by 2012 and employment is expected to

increase to 1.2 million by 2012.

Government Initiatives

Government in the 11th Five Year Plan has restructured the Technology Upgradation

Funds Scheme (TUFs), the Scheme for Integrated Textiles Park (SITP) and formulated

the National Fiber Policy. Government has enhanced allocation under restructured

TUFs from US$ 1.5 billion to US$ 3.0 billion to catalyze investments in hitherto low

investment areas like processing, weaving, knitting, technical textiles and skill

centres. Under the SITP scheme, US$ 78.5 million allocation was made for sanction of

new Integrated Textiles Parks. The National Fiber Policy has been formulated as a fiber

neutral policy in a decadal perspective to attract to US$ 33.3 billion of investment in

the next decade.

Page 16: GRASIM INDUSTRIES LTD -   - Personal finance India

16

Integrated Skill Development Scheme - The Government launched the Integrated Skill

Development Scheme for the T&C Sector, including Jute & Handicrafts, in September

2010. The main objective of the scheme is to address the trained manpower needs of

textiles and related segments. The Scheme would target to train approximately

2,56,000 persons during 2010-11 and 2011-12.

India has the most liberal and transparent policies in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)

amongst emerging countries. Under the automatic route, 100 per cent FDI is allowed

in the textile sector. FDI in sectors to the extent permitted under automatic route does

not require any prior approval either by the Government of India or Reserve Bank of

India (RBI).

The government has proposed some more relaxations for the branded garments sector,

besides enhancement of duty abatement from 40 per cent to 55 per cent.

Investment trends

India’s liberalisation of its foreign investment regulations, buoyant domestic demand

for textiles, and strong export potential have led to growing foreign investment in the

country. The country has become one of the fastest growing destinations for FDI

inflows and collaboration. India’s Special Economic Zones (SEZs) attract foreign

investment by providing tax incentives, assistance with bureaucratic and

administrative problems, and access to reliable infrastructure.

Foreign companies have been motivated to enter into collaborations with Indian firms

by the increasing profits gains that can be made by producing brands in India and

selling them into the Indian market. Indian companies, on the other hand, have been

motivated by the scope for gaining technical and marketing expertise from foreign

partners.

The textiles industry has attracted FDI worth US$ 1,011.52 million between April

2000 and September 2011, according to data released by the Department of Industrial

Policy and Promotion (DIPP).

Page 17: GRASIM INDUSTRIES LTD -   - Personal finance India

17

In last two years, the Rs 650 crore (US$ 143.72 million) garment e-tailing business

has attracted investments worth US$ 70 million. The segment is expected to grow

almost ten-fold to nearly Rs 6,000 crore (US$ 1.33 billion) by 2015, as per a study by

management consultants Technopak Advisors.

Ahmedabad-based textile company Arvind Ltd. has tied up with another major

international brand, Geoffrey Beene, LLC for apparel and non-apparel products.

Geoffrey Beene has licensed Arvind Retail Ltd. to manufacture and market its men's

apparel and non-apparel products

The Road Ahead

India's T&C industry has great potential, and is one of the mainstays of the country’s

economy. The industry has enormous opportunities for domestic as well as

international investors given its consistent growth performance, abundant cheap

skilled manpower and growing domestic demand. With the abolition of quotas, India

has surged ahead of other countries and positioned itself as a value-added

manufacturer with a varied material base, an educated and English-speaking class of

executives with high product development and design orientation.

On the global front, India is set to become an even bigger participant, both as a

consumer and as a producer. The country offers an attractive combination of a large

domestic market, and a base for low cost production. The industry has gained a strong

position in cotton based products, especially in the readymade garments and home

furnishings segment, which are expected to be the key drivers of growth for the

industry.

Besides this, the T&C industry is contributing towards promoting inclusive growth. It

has been contributing to broad based socio-economic development by providing

employment opportunities at local level.

The government envisions building state-of-the-art production capacities and

achieving a preeminent global standing in the textile sector by 2020, which includes

manufacture and export of all types of textiles.

Cement

With 153 cement plants and a total installed capacity of around 209 million tonnes

per annum (MTPA), taking both as of March 2009, the Indian cement industry is the

second largest in the world. In 2008-09, total cement consumption in India stood at

178 million tonnes while exports of cement and clinker amounted to around 3 million

tonnes. The cement industry holds a significant place in the national economy

because of its strong linkages to various sectors such as construction, transportation,

coal and power. The cement industry in India is also one of the major contributors to

the exchequer by way of indirect taxes.

Even during the global economic slowdown in 2008-09, growth in cement demand

remained robust at 8.4 per cent. In 2009-10 cement consumption has shot up,

reporting, on an average, 12.5 per cent growth in consumption during the first eight

months with the growth being fuelled by strong infrastructure spending, especially

from the Government Sector.

India produces variety of cement based on different compositions such as Ordinary

Portland cement, Portland Pozzolana, Portland Blast Furnace Slag cement, white

cement and specialised cement. Cement in India is produced as per the Bureau of

Indian Standards (BIS) specifications and the quality is comparable with the best in

the world.

Some of the major players in the cement industry include Ultratech Cement, Gujarat

Ambuja Cement Limited, JK Cements, ACC Cement, Century Cements, Madras

Cements, Holcim and Lafarge to name a few.

Market Size

The Indian cement industry can be divided into five geographical zones—North, South,

East, West and Central—based on localised differentiation in the consumer profile and

supply-demand scenario.

Page 19: GRASIM INDUSTRIES LTD -   - Personal finance India

19

Demand in the cement industry has seen wonderful growth on the back of

infrastructure, residential and commercial projects. Cement production in India is

anticipated to increase to 315-320 million tonne (MT) by end of this fiscal year from

the current 300 MT. "The target was 290 MT by the end of this year, which we have

already achieved. So, we expect the capacity to increase up to 320 MT by the year

end," according to N A Viswanathan, Secretary General, Cement Manufacturers

Association (CMA). CMA is targeting to achieve 550 MT capacity by 2020.

This industry has seen constant modernisation and implementation of latest

technologies during past few years. About 93 per cent of the total capacity is based on

eco-friendly dry process technology. Progressive liberalization and easing of foreign

direct investments (FDI) norms in various sectors paved the way for growth in FDI,

which led to growing demand for office space from multinational companies (MNCs)

and other foreign investors. Total FDI in the cement sector between April 2000 and

August 2010 stood at US$ 1.9 billion.

Government Initiatives

The cement industry in India is known for its linkages with other sectors. The

Government of India has taken various steps to provide the required impetus to the

industry. At present 100 per cent FDI is allowed in this industry. Both the state and

export policies promote cement production. Exporters can claim duty drawbacks on

Road Ahead

According to a recent research report titled 'Indian Cement Industry Forecast to 2012'

published by research firm RNCOS, cement industry in India witnessed massive

growth on the back of various industrial developments and pro-economic policies of

the Union Government. This has helped attracting the attention of various global

cement giants, thereby sparking off a wave of mergers and acquisitions in several

states. The report has estimated India's cement consumption to grow at a compound

annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11 per cent, between 2011-12 and 2013-14.

The research, which focused on the demand-supply outlook and the cement pricing in

various regions of the country revealed that Andhra Pradesh topped the chart in 2008-

09 in terms of large plants and its installed capacity in India.

Fast growing economy and the regulatory support is expected to further encourage the

industry players to embark on expansion plans. Furthermore, it is estimated that the

Government's assistance to several infrastructure projects, road networks and

housing facilities will boost the growth in cement consumption in the near future.
