FICCI’s survey assessed the sentiments for the next quarter (Q-4) for 12 major sectors namely automotive, capital goods, cement and ceramics, chemicals, fertilizers and pharmaceuticals, electronics and electricals, leather and footwear, medical devices, metal & metal products, paper products, textiles, textile machinery, and miscellaneous. Responses have been drawn from over 300 manufacturing units from both large and SME segments with a combined annual turnover of around Rs 5.3 lakh crore.

As per the survey, the overall capacity utilization in manufacturing has witnessed a rise to 74 per cent as compared to 65 per cent in previous quarter. The future investment outlook, however, looks slightly better as 30 per cent respondents reported plans for capacity additions for the next six months as compared to 18 per cent in the previous quarter.

High raw material prices, high cost of finance, shortage of skilled labour and working capital, high logistics cost, low domestic and global demand due to imposition of lockdown across all countries to contain spread of coronavirus, excess capacities due to high volume of cheap imports into India, lack of financial assistance, uncertain demand scenario across globe, complex procedures for obtaining environmental clearances, high power tariff, are some of the major constraints which are affecting expansion plans of the respondents.

The survey indicated that capacity utilisation witnessed a jump in Q3 for automotive, capital goods, electronics and electrical, medical devices sectors such hike it remained slow or subdued in textile and leather sectors.

Besides, 78 per cent of the respondents had either more or same level of inventory in October-December, whereas around 79 per cent of the respondents maintained either more or same level of inventory in July-September 2020 quarter of 2020-21.

The percentage of respondents expecting increase in exports has increased substantially to 29 per cent when compared to previous quarters during lockdown period, wherein 24 per cent respondents were expecting a rise in exports. Also, 34 per cent are expecting exports to continue to be on the same path as that of same quarter last year.

The hiring outlook for the sector also seems to be improving, as 37 per cent against 20 per cent in the previous quarter are planning to hire additional workforce.

Based on expectations in different sectors, sectors such as Medical Devices, Chemicals, Fertilizers and Pharmaceuticals, Textile Machinery, Electronics and Electricals, Capital Goods and Metal and Metal Products are likely to register strong growth in Q-3 2020-21, the survey indicated.
