INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Thermax performance is significantly influenced by macro factors such as capacity building in core sectors, infrastructure

building as well as consumption growth in durable and consumer segments. The cyclicality in these areas coupled with

implementation of environmental norms and capacity utilisation defines the health of the capital goods industry.

During the year 2017-2018, the global economy showed signs of a possible recovery after almost a decade of slump. This

was reflected in revival of investment in a few of the sectors, especially in the developing world. Manufacturing activities

and trade have also shown an upward trend, though minor in nature. There have been signs of favourable global financing

conditions, generally accommodative policies, positive business sentiments and firming commodity prices. Global GDP

growth has picked up from 3.2% in 2016 to almost 3.8% in 2017.

The growth in advanced economies was 2.3%, while that of emerging markets and developing economies was more

pronounced at 4.8 % in 2017. The recovery was significantly stronger than expected in the Euro area and, to a lesser

degree, in the USA. Abenomics helped Japan recuperate from a prolonged decline in growth, while the oil-dependent

economies heaved a sigh of relief with the firming up of prices. Growth in China continues to be moderate. However, the

country has emerged as a centre of global energy demand with significant investment in renewables. South East Asia also

witnessed improved economic stability showing signs of revival in growth.

In order to leverage the selective global growth and to reduce dependency on a single geo-polity, company further

expanded its manufacturing footprint into eastern Europe through Danstoker Poland and established a manufacturing

facility in Indonesia. These strategic initiatives will help company to participate actively in the capacity building process

in eastern Europe as well as ASEAN countries.

On the domestic front, India’s economic growth is estimated to have decelerated to 6.6 % in the last fiscal, lower than the

previous year’s 7.9%, impacted partially by the process of demonetizations and by the initial challenges on account of

GST implementation. However, in the long term, both these initiatives will propel Indian economic growth which is

targeted at 7.3% this fiscal and further to 7.6% in the next financial year. Ongoing successful implementation of the

Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), though painful in the interim, will help clean up the banking balance sheets of

India and pave the way for economic stability in the long-term.

The macro indicators were steadily improving with Current Account deficit coming down from 4.2% in FY 12 to 1.9% in

FY 18 (as % of GDP) while the fiscal deficit reduced from 5.7% to 3.5% during the same period. However, rising oil

prices, depreciating Indian currency, inability to enhance exports and rising inflation could dampen the positive

momentum for India.

The investment needed in infrastructure over the next five years is estimated to be around a trillion USD. While

generating financial resources to fund these will be a major challenge for the country, success on this front can accelerate

the economic growth trajectory and benefit company.

The capacity utilisation in various sectors is showing signs of improvement signaling selective investment revival, mainly

in the consumption-led industries. Though capital goods companies have registered a healthy order intake during the year,

the market is viewing this recovery with cautious optimism.

In order to abate the alarming rise in air pollution created by the automobile sector, the Union Ministry of Petroleum and

Natural Gas has advanced the introduction of Bharat Stage VI fuel norms by two years. Oil refineries are hastening their

upgradation programme with a capital outlay of over Rs. 90,000 crore envisaged to meet the new norms by 2020. With the

government making emission norms stringent, company can look forward to increasing opportunities coming its way.

The Indian power sector is undergoing a paradigm shift to meet the growing electricity demand. The Government of

India’s focus on attaining ‘Power for all’ has accelerated capacity addition in the country, where the total installed

capacity of power stations in India stood at 344 Gigawatt (GW) as on March 31, 2018. For ensuring reliability of power

supply and reduced dependence on the grid, industries such as fertilisers and food processing are investing in captive

cogeneration plants. These plants designed with cleaner fuels like gas and biomass will not only reduce the carbon

footprint but also offer higher plant efficiencies. By bagging significant orders, the company has been a major beneficiary

from the developments in the captive cogeneration sector.

India added 11.79 GW of power generation capacity from renewable sources between January – November 2017. With

India’s commitment to implement the Paris agreement on climate change that entails a 35% reduction in carbon intensity

by 2030, the company expects an accelerated growth for the renewable energy segment in India. With initial success in

the rooftop segment and its leadership position in biomass as an energy source, company is expected to benefit from the

country’s programme to support climate change mitigation.

Opportunities:

With nations including India endorsing the COP 21 compliance requirements and the thrust ongoing green,

enforcement of stringent emission norms and focus on renewable energy is likely to offer opportunities for the

businesses of the company.

With the smart cities project gaining momentum and growth in residential as well as commercial realty sectors,

Thermax can expect business for solutions such as compact sewage treatment, water recycling systems, absorption

chillers and construction chemicals.

Increase in capacity utilisation particularly in consumption-led sectors from private as well as public sector players

will manifest in new opportunities for Thermax.

Future Outlook:

Overall, against the backdrop of an anticipated global economic recovery, augmented by improved investments in the

domestic industrial sector, the company is poised for a positive year ahead.
