INDUSTRY AND ECONOMY OVERVIEW

INDIAN ECONOMY

Strong economic growth in the first quarter of FY 2022-23 helped India overcome the UK to become the fifth-largest economy after it recovered from repeated waves of COVID-19 pandemic shock. Real GDP in the first quarter of 2022–23 is currently about 4% higher than its corresponding 2019-20, indicating a strong start for Indias recovery from the pandemic. Given the release of pent-up demand and the widespread vaccination coverage, the contact-intensive services sector will probably be the main driver of development in 2022–2023. Rising employment and substantially increasing private consumption, supported by rising consumer sentiment, will support GDP growth in the coming months. Future capital spending of the government in the economy is expected to be supported by factors such as tax buoyancy, the streamlined tax system with low rates, a thorough assessment and rationalisation of the tariff structure, and the digitization of tax filing. In the medium run, increased capital spending on infrastructure and asset-building projects is set to increase growth multipliers, and with the revival in monsoon and the Kharif sowing, agriculture is also picking up momentum. The contact-based services sector has largely demonstrated promise to boost growth by unleashing the pent-up demand over the period of April-September 2022. The sectors success is being captured by a number of HFIs (High-Frequency Indicators) that are performing well, indicating the beginnings of a comeback. India has emerged as the fastest-growing major economy in the world and is expected to be one of the top three economic powers in the world over the next 10-15 years, backed by its robust democracy and strong partnerships.

MARKET SIZE

Indias nominal gross domestic product (GDP) at current prices is estimated to be at Rs. 232.15 trillion (US$ 3.12 trillion) in FY22. With more than 100 unicorns valued at US$ 332.7 billion, India has the third-largest unicorn base in the world. The government is also focusing on renewable sources to generate energy and is planning to achieve 40% of its energy from non-fossil sources by 2030. According to the McKinsey Global Institute, India needs to boost its rate of employment growth and create 90 million non-farm jobs between 2023 and 2030 in order to increase productivity and economic growth. The net employment rate needs to grow by 1.5% per annum from 2023 to 2030 to achieve 8-8.5% GDP growth between 2023 and 2030. Indias current account deficit (CAD), primarily driven by an increase in the trade deficit, stood at 2.1% of GDP in the first quarter of FY 2022-23. Exports fared remarkably well during the pandemic and aided recovery when all other growth engines were losing steam in terms of their contribution to GDP. Going forward, the contribution of merchandise exports may waver as several of Indias trade partners witness an economic slowdown. According to Mr. Piyush Goyal, Minister of Commerce and Industry, Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and Textiles, Indian exports are expected to reach US$ 1 trillion by 2030.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

ROAD AHEAD

In the second quarter of FY 2022-23, the growth momentum of the first quarter was sustained, and high-frequency indicators (HFIs) performed well in July and August of 2022. Indias comparatively strong position in the external sector reflects the countrys generally positive outlook for economic growth and rising employment rates. India ranked fifth in foreign direct investment inflows among the developed and developing nations listed for the first quarter of 2022. Indias economic story during the first half of the current financial year highlighted the unwavering support the government gave to its capital expenditure, which, in FY 2022–23 (until August 2022), stood 46.8% higher than the same period last year. The ratio of revenue expenditure to capital outlay decreased from 6.4 in the previous year to 4.5 in the current year, signaling a clear change in favour of higher-quality spending. Stronger revenue generation as a result of improved tax compliance, increased profitability of the company, and increasing economic activity also contributed to rising capital spending levels. Despite the continued global slowdown, Indias exports climbed at the second highest rate this quarter. With a reduction in port congestion, supply networks are being restored. The CPI-C and WPI inflation reduction from April 2022 already reflects the impact. In August 2022, CPI-C inflation was 7.0%, down from 7.8% in April 2022. Similarly, WPI inflation has decreased from 15.4% in April 2022 to 12.4% in August 2022. With a proactive set of administrative actions by the government, flexible monetary policy, and a softening of global commodity prices and supply-chain bottlenecks, inflationary pressures in India look to be on the decline overall.

INDIAS MEDIUM-TERM GROWTH OUTLOOK

• Indian economy underwent wide-ranging structural and governance reforms that strengthened the economys fundamentals by enhancing its overall efficiency during 2014-2023.

• With an underlying emphasis on improving the ease of living and doing business, the reforms after 2014 were based on the broad principles of creating public goods, adopting trust-based governance, copartnering with the private sector for development, and improving agricultural productivity.

• The period of 2014-2023 also witnessed balance sheet stress caused by the credit boom in the previous years and one-off global shocks, that adversely impacted the key macroeconomic variables such as credit growth, capital formation, and hence economic growth during this period.

• Similarly, the Indian economy is well placed to grow faster in the coming decade once the global shocks of the pandemic and the spike in commodity prices in 2022 fade away.

• With improved and healthier balance sheets of the banking, non-banking and corporate sectors, a fresh credit cycle has already begun, evident from the double-digit growth in bank credit over the past months.

• Indian economy has also started benefiting from the efficiency gains resulting from greater formalisation, higher financial inclusion, and economic opportunities created by digital technology-based economic reforms.

• Indias growth outlook seems better than in the pre-pandemic years and the Indian economy is prepared to grow at its potential in the medium term.

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

In a vast country like India, with diversified economic structure, multi agency approach is adopted in the financial sector. Both commercial banks and Non Banking Financial Companies have come into play in shaping the economy of the country. NBFCs have an undeniable role in the Indian economy. Almost every sector of the economy has utilized HP and leasing as its source capital from NBFCs. During the last decade, NBFCs have undergone wide volatility and change as an industry and have been witnessing considerable business upheaval over the last decade because of market dynamics, public sentiments and regulatory environment.

The focus of the government should be on competitive and cooperative federalism which presents a great potential to attract skills, investment and technology.The Government should focus on those agendas of structural reforms which are yet to be finished after the demonetisation drive of high-value currencies.

The management of the company is now exploring the possibilities of starting a new business including the NBFC businessand is putting necessary efforts in this respect so that the operations of the company can be started again.The management firmly believes that the company would be able to restart its business operations and is of the opinion that the new deals would be finalized soon. Since your company was earlier into NBFC business and as on date the management of your company is exploring the new business opportunities including restarting the NBFC business, a SWOT analysis of NBFC business is provided hereinbelow:

Strengths

• Simplified sanction procedures, orientation towards customers,attractive rate of returns on deposits, flexibility and timeliness inmeeting credit needs of specified sector are some of the strengths of thissector.

• Microfinance firms have also started disbursing emergency loans to help grassroots borrowers tide over the immediate crisis.

• NBFCs, are gearing up to lend afresh, with the credit guarantee programme announced by the government likely to boost their fund flow.

• Knowledge driven and relationship based business model

• Strong financial track record driven by fast growth and low Non Performing Asset.

• Strong relationship with Public, Private as wll as Foreign Banks, institutions and investors.

• The RBIs targeted long-term repo operation for smaller firms (TLTRO 2.0) will get a better response now as the risk would be borne by the government fully or partially

• The special liquidity support to lower-rated NBFCs will mean banks dont have to take credit risk and NBFC papers are likely to be lapped up.

• To again enter into Finance Business and take the license from the Reserve Bank of India to work as Non Banking Finance Company.

• The Growth of the Company might be affected till the time thelicense from the Reserve Bank of India to work as Non Banking Finance Company has not been obtained because at present the Company does not have any business.

Weakness

• A problem post-CRB is that the NBFCs are faced with a growing negative public perception. Investors apart, even banks began shying away from NBFCs. Even good NBFCs are suffering due to the negative perception and even fundamentally sound NBFCs are finding it difficult to raise funds at competitive rates. Currently, NBFCs are going through a painful identity crisis.

• NBFC spreads are also getting squeezed. The villain is the rising incidence of asset-liability mismatch. Most NBFC liabilities are shortterm funds and these funds are largely locked up in assets with a maturity period of two years and more. They require steady deposit renewals and inflow of fresh deposits to tide over such crisis. Alas, postCRB renewals have declined. In a bid to lure depositors, NBFCs are 218 offering higher interest rates and this is inflating the cost of their funds. It is an unenviable Catch-22 situation.

• Recovery of receivables is another area that is keeping the NBFCs worried. Judicial process for recovery of advances is very slow. At times, cases are dismissed on flimsy technical grounds, and it takes years for the courts to decide recovery cases filed by NBFCs as the dice is heavily loaded against the lender.

• Adding to all these woes, banks and financial institutions have on to NBFCs turf and are proving to be more muscular competitors. Host of banks, Indian and foreign, have started offering financial services such as car finance on more competitive terms. Financial institutions with their retail initiative are proving to be a real challenge for NBFCs. This incursion has already pushed small NBFCs out of their traditional areas.

• Lack of market capitalization leading to low share prices, which are not in line with intrinsic performance of the companies as 80 per cent of shares are held for investment and not trading is identified as a weakness.

• Structural weakness includes those factors like taking time to adjust to changes because of conservatism and dependence on retail resources.

Opportunities

• The infrastructure segment and road transport segment have good growth opportunities. As NBFCs cater to basic infrastructure industry the opportunities for the sector are great. Infrastructural activities are poised to push commercial vehicle sales, growth in sales of smaller goods carriers such as Light Commercial Vehicles/three Wheelers in metro areas, increasing trend in conversion of cash sales to financed sales are opportunities for top companies.

• With the number of players having been substantially reduced consequent to the stricter entry point norms and imposition of prudential norms by RBI, the market is large enough to meet the needs of existing NBFCs and new entrants like banks and other financial institutions. Consolidation in the NBFC industry has reduced competitive pressure and this is an added opportunity to expand.

• Cashing in on the constraints faced by banks in penetrating the specialized vehicle finance segment which leads to the scope for branch expansion.

• NBFCs have diversified into various fee-based activities which have synergy with lending activities. Non-fund business such as car rentals, ticketing, Insurance agency, and export import business are considered as thrust areas.

• New segments- self finance colleges, fast food restaurants, privatization of transport buses, two wheeler financing, financing at village level are other Ventures 220.

• IT related industries are another thrust area.

• The concept of NBFCs acting as retailers to the banks is gaining ground and RBI has been issuing directions to banks to extend lines of credit to strong NBFCs for on-lending to priority sector areas.

Threats

The threat feared by government companies are in the other investment opportunities like investment in small savings in post offices, Government guaranteed bonds, Tax-free bonds of RBI by existing and forthcoming depositors. This too is threat only to 25 per cent of companies. As could be inferred, 85 per cent of top companies and same percentage of small companies have identified Competition from banks and financial institutions in commercial vehicle financing - hitherto the forte of NBFCs- is a threat as these competitors have low cost funds. Intensified competition leading to squeeze on spreads, declining margins, undercutting in rates by certain large players, reduction in lending rates, all have a bearing on profitability. Only 8 per cent of top companies and 23 per cent of small companies have considered, NPA as a threat.

Other threat includes Globalisation of Indian market brought several multinational financial service companies into the market resulting in more intense competition. Using weighted average scoring model it is observed that companies ranked their competitors as (1) Financial institutions, (2) Other NBFCs and (3) Banks, in that order. Government companies were least affected by 221 competition, while small companies considered other NBFCs as their chief competitors, top companies considered financial institutions as their threat.

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM

The Company has adequate internal audit and control systems. Internal auditors comprising of professional firm of Chartered Accountants has been entrusted with the job to regular conduct the internal audit and report to the management the lapses, if any. Both internal auditors and statutory auditors independently evaluate the adequacy of internal control system.

Some of the additional measures in this regard are strengthening background verification process of new joiners, whistle blower policy and strengthening the process of risk assessment.

The organization is well structured and the policy guidelines are well documented with pre defined authority.

The Company has put in place adequate systems to ensure that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and that transactions are authorized, recorded and reported.

The Audit Committee of Directors in its periodical meetings, reviews the adequacy of internal control systems and procedures and suggests areas of improvements. Needless to mention, that ensuring maintenance of proper accounting records, safeguarding assets against loss and misappropriation, compliance of applicable laws, rules and regulations and providing reasonable assurance against fraud and errors will continue to remain central point of the entire control system.

HUMAN RESOURCES

The Company aims to develop the potential of every individual associated with the Company as a part of its business goal.
