3. After the shadows of the great recession in 2008, global economy has started expanding:
however, with two speeds. In developed world the economic growth is much slower than expected;
recovery seems to have stalled in major developed nations, amid declining business confidence
hurting global trade as well as employment.
In spite of the slow down caused by global financial crisis of 2007-09, downside risks of global events
particularly movement in the prices of commodities like crude oil, the Indian economy has emerged
with remarkable rapidity and is poised to further improve and consolidate in terms of key
macroeconomic indicators. Reflecting strong fundamentals and resilience, the Indian Economy posted
robust growth rate of 8.4 percent during 2010-11, thereby emerging as one of the fastest growing
economies among the developing countries. Strong performance of the agriculture sector, along with
continued robust growth of the industrial and services sectors have underlined the overall performance
of the Indian Economy. India is still growing at a rapid pace in comparison to other countries;
however that should not deter from the opportunity to push through further reforms, create
infrastructure and generate economic opportunities.
At constant prices, the primary sector i.e. agriculture, forestry &
fishing has shown a high growth of 7.0 per cent during 2010-11 as against 1.0 per cent during the year
2009-10. The growth of secondary sector is 7.2 per cent and that of service sector is 9.3 per cent
during 2010-11.
While the rest of the world has been grappling with
the after effects of the European debt crisis, the
Indian economy in 2011-12 has also seen
moderation in growth. Quarterly growth rates have
consistently fallen in 2011-12 and for the first time
since the global crisis of 2008, GDP growth rates in
India has declined below 7 percent to reach 6.1
percent in the third quarter of 2011-12. Earlier
expectations in the range of 8 percent to 8.5 percent
have been reduced gradually and now the Economy
is expected to grow at less than 7 percent. GDP
grew at a modest 7.3 percent during the first half of
the financial year but turbulent global conditions
coupled with a weak industrial sector has resulted
in a slowdown in GDP growth in the second half of
the year. With the exception of Services, GDP
growth and its two main components - Agriculture
and Industry have recorded lower growth in 2011-
12 as compared to the last year.
Further, unforeseen weakening of the Indian rupee
against the US dollar made imports even costlier.
The rupee depreciated by about 15 percent from the
levels of Rs. 44.7 to the levels of Rs. 51.3 against a
dollar in March'12. This has led to massive increase
in fiscal deficit of 5.9 percent of GDP as against a
target of 4.6 percent for this year and a further push to the inflationary pressures. Rising cost of living
casted a negative spell on the disposable income of households impacting the consumption story.
Despite recent tough global and domestic economic situation, outlook for the Indian economy still
looks promising in the medium to long term. Finance budget 2012-13 aims to control fiscal deficit
and bring it down to 5.1 percent of the GDP. Favourable demographic factors like a young working
GDP GROWTH
4. population and a labour force which is expected to increase by 32 percent in the next 20 years,
compared to a fall of 4 percent in industrialized countries and 5 percent in China, strongly indicate
latent growth potential of second fastest economy amongst the major economies on the globe.
6. With the presence of 12.2% of the world population in the villages of India, the Indian rural FMCG
market is something no one can overlook. Increased focus on farm sector will boost rural incomes,
hence providing better growth prospects to the FMCG companies. Better infrastructure facilities will
improve their supply chain. FMCG sector is also likely to benefit from growing demand in the
market. Because of the low per capita consumption for almost all the products in the country, FMCG
companies have immense possibilities for growth. And if the companies are able to change the
mindset of the consumers, i.e. if they are able to take the consumers to branded products and offer
new generation products, they would be able to generate higher growth in the near future. It is
expected that the rural income will rise in 2007, boosting purchasing power in the countryside.
However, the demand in urban areas would be the key growth driver over the long term. Also,
increase in the urban population, along with increase in income levels and the availability of new
categories, would help the urban areas maintain their position in terms of consumption. At present,
urban India accounts for 66% of total FMCG consumption, with rural India accounting for the
remaining 34%. However, rural India accounts for more than 40% consumption in major FMCG
categories such as personal care, fabric care, and hot beverages. In urban areas, home and personal
care category, including skin care, household care and feminine hygiene, will keep growing at
relatively attractive rates. Within the foods segment, it is estimated that processed foods, bakery, and
dairy are long-term growth categories in both rural and urban areas.
Indian FMCG industry is expected to grow at a base rate of at least 12% annually to become a Rs
4,000 billion industry in 2020, according to a new report by Booz & Company. The Report titled
“FMCG Roadmap to 2020 - The Game Changers” was released at the CII FMCG Forum 2010 in New
Delhi Thursday. The Report noted that the positive growth drivers mainly pertain to the robust GDP
growth, opening up and increased income in the rural areas of the country, increased urbanization and
evolving consumer lifestyle and buying behaviour. The report further revealed that if some of the
positive factors – driven mainly by improved and supportive government policy to remove supply
constraints – play out favourably, the industry could even see a 17% growth over the next decade,
leading to an overall industry size of Rs 6,200 Billion by 2020. The last decade has already seen the
sector grow at 12% annually as result of which the sector has tripled in size.
Releasing the report, Booz & Company Partner Abhishek Malhotra said, “While on an aggregate
basis the industry will continue to show strong growth, we will see huge variations at multiple levels –
product category (e.g. processed foods growing faster than basic staples), companies and
geographies.”
“Many Indian customer segments are reaching the tipping point at which consumption becomes broad
based and takes off following the traditional “S shaped” curve seen across many markets.” The sector
is poised for rapid growth over the next 10 years and by the year
2020, FMCG industry is expected to be larger, more responsible and more tuned to its customers,” he
further added.
The Report identifies 9 key mega trends across consumers, markets and environment that will have a
significant impact in shaping how the industry will look like in year 2020.
(a) Increasing Premiumization
Continued income growth coupled with increased willingness to spend will see consumers’ up-
trading, creating demand for higher priced and increased functionality (real or perceived) products.
The size of this segment will be large.
7. (b) Evolving Categories
Many consumers will move up the ladder and will shift from basic “need” to “want” based products.
In addition evolving behaviour and emphasis on beauty, health & wellness will see increased
requirements for customized and more relevant product offerings.
(c) Value at BoP
Significant majority of the population in the country, especially in the rural markets, will become a
consumption source by moving beyond the “survival” mode. This segment will require tailored
product at highly affordable prices which will come with the potential of very large volumes.
(d) Increasing Globalisation
While many leading MNCs have operated in the country for years given the liberal policy
environment, the next 10 years will see increased competition from Tier 2 and 3 global players. In
addition, larger Indian companies will continue to seek opportunities internationally and also have an
access to more global brands, products and operating practices.
(e) Decentralization
Despite the complexity of the Indian market (languages, cultures, distances) the market has mainly
operated in a homogenous set-up. Increased scale and spending power will result in more fragmented
and tailored business models (products, branding, operating structures).
(f) Growing Modern Trade
Modern trade share will continue to increase and is estimated to account for nearly 30% by year 2020.
This channel will complete existing traditional trade (~8 million stores which will continue to grow)
and offer both a distribution channel through its cash & carry model as well as more avenues to
interact with the consumer.
(g) Focus on Sustainability
Global climatic changes, increasing scarcity of many natural resources (e.g. water, oil) and consumer
awareness (e.g. waste) are leading to increased concerns for the environment. The pressure on
companies to be environmentally responsible is gradually increasing due to involvement of various
stakeholders – from government (through policy) to consumers (through brand choice) and NGOs
(through awareness).
(h) Technology as a Game Changer
Increased and relevant functionality coupled with lower costs will enable technology deployment to
drive significant benefits and allow companies to address the complex business environment. This
will be seen both in terms of efficiencies in the back-end processes (e.g. supply chain, sales) as well as
the front-end (e.g. consumer marketing).
(i) Favourable Government Policy
8. Many government actions – in discussions as well as planned – will help in creating a more suitable
operating environment. This will be done both on the demand side by increased income and education
as well as on the supply side by removing bottlenecks and encouraging investments in infrastructure.
The confluence of many of these change drivers – consumers, technology, government policy, and
channel partners – will have a multiplication impact and magnify both the amount as well as the pace
of change. Winning in this new world will require enhancing current capabilities and building new
ones to bridge gaps. In this new world FMCG companies will have 6 imperatives from a business
strategy perspective: disaggregating the operating model, winning the talent wars, bringing
sustainability into the strategic agenda, re-inventing marketing for ‘i-consumers’, re-engineering
supply chains, partnering with modern trade.
The report urges the need for other stakeholders – government, retailers, NGOs and investors–to play
a key role and evolve in a similar fashion to support the growth of the industry while continuing to
deliver on their core business and social mandates.

ACCOUNTING POLICY
1.Basis of Accounting
To prepare financial statements in accordance with the historical cost convention modified by
revaluation of certain Fixed Assets as and when undertaken.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s normal
operating cycle and other criteria set out in the revised Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956 based
on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their
realisation in cash and cash equivalents.
2. Fixed Assets
To state Fixed Assets at cost of acquisition inclusive of inward freight, duties and taxes and
incidental expenses related to acquisition. In respect of major projects involving construction, related
pre-operational expenses form part of the value of assets capitalised. Expenses capitalised also include
applicable borrowing costs, if any.
To capitalise software where it is expected to provide future enduring economic benefits.
Capitalisation costs include licence fees and costs of implementation / system integration services.
The costs are capitalised in the year in which the relevant software is implemented for use.
To charge off as a revenue expenditure all upgradation/ enhancements unless they bring similar
significant additional benefits.
3. Depreciation
To calculate depreciation on Fixed Assets, Tangible and Intangible, in a manner that amortises the
cost of the assets after commissioning, over their estimated useful lives or, where specified, lives
based on the rates specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956, whichever is lower, by
equal annual instalments. Leasehold properties are amortised over the period of the lease.
To amortise capitalised software costs over a period of five years.
4. Revaluation of Assets
As and when Fixed Assets are revalued, to adjust the provision for depreciation on such revalued
Fixed Assets, where applicable, in order to make allowance for consequent additional diminution in
value on considerations of age, condition and unexpired useful life of such Fixed Assets; to transfer to
Revaluation Reserve the difference between the written up value of the Fixed Assets revalued and
depreciation adjustment and to charge Revaluation Reserve Account with annual depreciation on that
portion of the value which is written up.
43. 5. Impairment of Assets
To provide for impairment loss, if any, to the extent, the carrying amount of assets exceed their
recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is higher of an asset's net selling price and its value in use.
Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing
use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.
Impairment losses recognised in prior years are reversed when there is an indication that the
impairment losses recognised no longer exist or have decreased. Such reversals are recognised as an
increase in carrying amounts of assets to the extent that it does not exceed the carrying amounts that
would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been
recognised in previous years.
6. Investments
To state Current Investments at lower of cost and fair value; and Long Term Investments, including
in Joint Ventures and Associates, at cost. Where applicable, provision is made to recognise a decline,
other than temporary, in valuation of Long Term Investments.
7. Inventories
To state inventories including work-in-progress at lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost is
calculated on weighted average method. Cost comprises expenditure incurred in the normal course of
business in bringing such inventories to its location and includes, where applicable, appropriate
overheads based on normal level of activity. Obsolete, slow moving and defective inventories are
identified at the time of physical verification of inventories and, where necessary, provision is made
for such inventories.
8. Revenue from sale of products and services
To recognise Revenue at the time of delivery of goods and rendering of services net of trade
discounts to customers and Sales tax/ Value added tax recovered from customers but including excise
duty on goods payable by the Company. Net revenue is stated after deducting such excise duty.
9. Investment Income
To account for Income from Investments on an accrual basis, inclusive of related tax deducted at
source. To account for Income from Dividends when the right to receive such dividends is
established.
10. Proposed Dividend
To provide for Dividends (including income tax thereon) in the books of account as proposed by the
Directors, pending approval at the Annual General Meeting.

impairment loss recognized for an asset in prior accounting periods may no longer exist or may have
decreased.
