...Indian Banking – The engine for sustaining India’s growth agenda 5th ICC Banking Summit Kolkata 18 May 2013 Foreword Over the past couple of years, the Indian banking sector has displayed a high level of resilience in the face of high domestic inflation, rupee depreciation and fiscal uncertainty in the US and Europe. In order to stimulate the economy and support growth of the banking sector, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) adopted several policy measures. © 2013 KPMG, an Indian Registered Partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. All rights reserved. Asset quality, capital adequacy, financial inclusion and talent management are some of the key issues facing the Indian banking industry, which despite serving the second largest populated country in the world with a total of 87 banks (including 26 public sector banks, 20 private banks and 41 foreign banks), as per the RBI, reaches out to only about half of the country’s households, scripting a nominal global footprint. The rising consumerism from the emerging ‘middle’ India and the higher purchasing power in rural India on account of rising employment provides opportunities for banks to look beyond the traditional customer segments. However, these segments would require flexible operating models which would ensure responsiveness at the last mile and at the same time be viable for the banks. On...

...2014 PESTLE ANALYSIS: INDIA POLITICAL ANALYSIS Democracy is the focal point of the Indian political system, but is often constrained by social tensions due to religious, caste and linguistic differences. Some of the communal flare-ups—such as Babri Masjid in 1992, Godhra in 2002, and the large exodus of India’s northeastern migrants from the southern cities in 2012 due to fear of attacks by Muslims— have rocked the whole country in the past. In 2013, the country again witnessed communal riots between Jat Hindus and Muslims in the town of Muzaffarnagar (located in the state of Uttar Pradesh), which has been deemed as ―the worst instance of political violence in the country in the last decade‖. In addition, the government’s assent to the creation of a new state of Telangana in southern India has brought intensified demands for new states in other parts of the country, either on ethnic lines or for better administration. Current strengths Strong democratic setup India is the largest democratic nation in the world and principles of democracy are deeply entrenched in the Indian political system. Indian diversity is reflected in the federal political structure of government, where power is shared between states and the center. There are national level elections, state level elections, municipal elections and panchayat (village) level elections, all of which require citizens to exercise their vote. As per the World Bank’s Worldwide governance Indicators, India ranked in the...

...An econometric analysis of the impact of mobile Dr. Mahesh Uppal is the Director of Com First (India) Private Ltd, a consultancy specializing in policy, regulation, and strategy. Mamta is a researcher at the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER). 1. Summary During the past two decades, India has moved away from its former ‘command and control’ policies to become a marketbased economy. This process started in the mid-1980s and gathered substantial momentum at the beginning of the 1990s. The process of reform has continued in this decade with a further opening of the economy and the creation of regulatory institutions to oversee the march towards fully competitive markets. As a result of the liberalisation, GDP per capita has been rising by 7% annually, a rate that leads to its doubling in a decade. This contrasts with annual growth of GDP per capita of just 1% in the three decades from 1950 to 1980. Rapid growth turned India into the third largest economy in the world in 2006 (after the United States and China and just ahead of Japan when measured at purchasing power parities), accounting for nearly 7% of world GDP. 1 Although India’s growth rate has been among the highest in the world, it remains a low income country. With a per capita income of US$950 in 2007, India ranks 122nd. 2 As well as a low average income, there are substantial disparities in economic performance between states. The average per capita Gross State Domestic...

...Marketing Audit and Analysis of Hindustan hydraulics EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report has been produced to analyze the current marketing challenges faced by Hindustan Hydraulics with regard to their marketing strategy. Although Hindustan Hydraulics has invested time and money in improving their infrastructure, we feel that with tougher competition in the present market, this company is not taking full advantage of its cash reserve and good presence in the Indian market which could be used to develop their old machine with state of the art new technology which could result in higher profit and lower cost in maintaining machine. Faced with a consistent loss of market share due to new competition it is our analysis that, to enhance further growth and profit, Hindustan Hydraulics must improve their sales service, better turnaround time to decrease down time of machines so that customers do not fall behind their production schedule and more money should be pumped into the R&D department to develop advanced systems. Other recommendations has been discussed in detail in this report.

One of the economic aspects of globalization is the fact that increasing investments in the form of foreign direct investments.

...Analysis of Power Sector in India: A Structural Perspective Niranjan Swain*, J P Singh** and Deepak Kumar*** The inhibitors to growth in power sector were many—small and big but the main roadblock in the growth path was Government Policy, which made it difficult or rather impossible for a private player to enter. This further aggravated the problem that Indian entrepreneurs didn’t have enough knowledge and experience in developing power projects. To worsen the scenario, the SEBs and other Government Agencies became financially weak to propel any future expansion or growth in the sector. Electricity Act, 2003 was a major step in solving the above underlying problems of the power sector. A whole new system was evolved where private players were invited to be an active participant. The system demanded financial, political and other infrastructural growth—with major requirement in roads and communication. Some of the bold steps taken in the Act were moving generation and distribution out of ‘License Raj’ regime, opening access to national grid and demolishing the ‘Single Buyer’ model. The failure of the huge federal structure and the changing global scenario have forced Government to think of ways to revive this fundamental infrastructure sector. Two of the avenues that government can count on for future growth of this sector is “Midgets or Small Power Plants” and “CDM—Clean Development Mechanism”. India and Infrastructure With traditional government controlled vertically...

...Enabling the next wave of telecom growth in India Industry inputs for National Telecom Policy 2011 2 Enabling the next wave of telecom growth in India Foreword The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) and Ernst & Young have collaborated on this deep review of the telecoms sector in India. The National Telecom Policy 1999 (NTP 1999) has served the sector in India for well over a decade, in which time we have witnessed significant changes in the socioeconomic environment, technological advancements and business dynamics. The telecom industry in India is ready to take the next leap forward with new developments such as launch of third generation (3G) services by private operators, 3G and broadband wireless access (BWA) auctions, launch of mobile number portability (MNP), and the emergence of mobile commerce (m-commerce). In the future, rural and semi-rural markets are expected to drive growth, especially in the wireless segment. The Ministry of Communications & Information Technology has released the 100-day agenda for the Indian telecom sector, and announced formulation of a new and comprehensive National Telecom Policy 2011 (NTP’11). Therefore, the time is ripe for a comprehensive review to build a forward looking and transparent policy that will be the backbone to achieve the ”India telecom vision 2020.” This report focuses on specific areas where the Government of India (GoI) needs to intervene and move the policy to the next generation...
