Discussion and Analysis
Overview of World Economy
• World economic output is recovering at a slow pace with the
expectations of achieving sub 3% growth in calendar year
2016.
• There is a potential downside risk in terms of continued slow
growth in China, weak domestic consumption in Japan,
volatile currency movements and sustained level of low
commodity prices. There is an uncertainty over the future
growth prospects of commodity driven economies like Brazil
and Russia.
• Prevailing fragile business sentiment is also adversely
impacted by geopolitical tensions, protectionist policies
adopted by some of the countries and climate &
environmental concerns.
Overview of the Indian Economy
• Overview of Indian Economy: Amidst the low global growth
environment, the Indian economy showed resilience and grew
by 7.6% for the year 2015-16, driven mainly by the service
sector.
• India has been a beneficiary of low oil prices which has helped
to improve the Government’s fiscal position and has improved
the profitability of PSU oil & gas marketing companies.
• Increased budgetary allocations on infrastructure projects,
pushing investment through cash rich PSUs, thrust on ‘Make
In India’, increased drive on building a strong domestic
manufacturing base for Defence equipment.
Business Scenario
• The Company sees good prospects in the domestic
economy with the thrust on infrastructure
development.
• The Company has invested in building up the
capacities over the years and has also mapped the
emerging opportunities with the internal capabilities.
• Increase in the pace of implementation of various
initiatives by the government and revival of the
investment cycle would be conducive for achieving
the growth aspirations of the Company.
Strengths
• Diversified revenues providing resilience :- the
company’s revenues is distributed among business divisions
as follows: engineering and construction, electrical and
electronics, machinery and industrial products, financial
services, developmental projects and others. This enables L&T
to alleviate its business risk as fluctuations in a single offering
have lesser impact on diversified offerings and provide
resilience to its revenues
• Size Advantages :- Size advantages lower Larsen and
Toubro’s risks. The larger Larsen and Toubro gets, the more
resources they have to pursue new markets and defend
themselves against rivals
• Unique products :- Unique products help
distinguish Larsen and Toubro from competitors. Larsen and
Toubro can charge higher prices for their products, because
consumers can’t get those products elsewhere.
• Brand Name :- A strong brand name is a major strength
of Larsen and Toubro. This gives Larsen and Toubro the ability
to charge higher prices for their products because consumers
place additional value in the brand. "Brand Name (Larsen And
Toubro)" is an easily defendable qualitative factor, so
competing institutions will have a difficult time overcoming it.
• Technology :- Superior technology allows Larsen and
Toubro to better meet the needs of their customers in ways
that competitors can’t imitate
• Supply Chain :- A strong supply chain helps Larsen and
Toubro obtain the right resources from suppliers and delivery
the right product to customers in a timely manner
Weaknesses
• Dependence on domestic operations for
revenue generation
• Online presence :- The online market is essential
for displaying information and selling products. A
weak online presence can result in lost opportunities
for Larsen and Toubro
Opportunities
• Innovation :- Greater innovation can help Larsen and
Toubro to produce unique products and services that
meet customer’s needs.
• Strategic joint ventures strengthening
business :- L&T has formed a strategic partnership with
Cyan Holdings plc, a UK-based integrated system design
company. L&T and Cascadian entered into a partnership
in February 2011, to become an electronics house .
• Growing Indian construction & engineering
industry :- The Indian construction & engineering
industry is forecast to grow.
Threats
• Rise in cost of construction may affect
margins :- The rise in crude prices, will increase the
cost of transportation.
• Political Risk :- Politics can increase Larsen and
Toubro’s risk factors, because governments can
quickly change business rules that negatively
affect Larsen and Toubro’s business.
