India has 12 major ports and about 187 non-major ports. In financial year 2015, major ports handled 581.3 million metric tonnes (MMT) of cargo, while non-major ports handled 471.2 MMT of cargo.

Since ports handle almost 95 per cent of trade volumes in India, the rising trade has contributed significantly to the country’s cargo traffic. To support the growing demand, cargo capacity in India is expected to increase to 2,500 MMT by 2017.

Indian logistics market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12% by 2020 driven by the growth in the manufacturing, retail, FMCG and e-commerce sectors. Today India spends around 14% of its GDP on Logistics and Transportation as compared to less than 8% spent by the other developing countries.

Out of the total Exam cargo in India, over 1 million TEUS of containerized cargo is moving from the Northern part of India through gateway ports of )NPT, Mundra & Pipavav which is consistently increasing and therefore this part of hideaways been demanding more Inland Container Depot facilities to be provided to the exporters and the importers for catering to such volumes.

This growth will require huge logistical support in terms of world class infrastructure and Container Train operations for movement of goods across the country. Arshiya Group is fully geared to cater to the anticipated boom in the Indian logistics scenario.

Apart from the existing container trains coming into Arshiya Rail Infrastructure, Khurja (ARIK) with commodities such as Ingots, Billets and Sponge Iron, the Cement Industry too is looking at Khurja terminal for feeding their plants and end users located in and around Delhi NCR.

Net Loss for the year (84,622.95) (12,715.32)

On a Consolidated basis your Company has recorded a loss during the previous year. The general overall slowdown in industrial growth and sluggish trend had its negative impact on your Company''s operations. Besides, Your Company had to face various constraints in the day to day operations due to regulatory and other issues which have severely impacted the performance of the Company. The regulatory & operational hurdles impacting the operations of the company are as under:

- Stoppage of Transhipment of cargo from Mumbai Port to FTWZ

- Delays in Duty Drawback

- Non availability of Customs EDI System in FTWZ

- Import General Manifest (IGM) approvals for FTWZs

- Non recognition of Arshiya FTWZ as a port for import.

However, the Company has been consistently taking up these issues at the highest levels of Government and with the new Government in place, it is expected that the issues will be resolved sooner than later to enable smoother day to day operations and better performance.

In the meantime, several initiatives and measures to rationalise expenses, costs, improve effective utilisation of human & material resources to the optimum level have been taken.

Your Management considered it expedient to contain high finance costs so that cash flow can be channelised to operations for further productivity. To effectively service the borrowings and at the same time make the resources available for the day to day operations of the Company, your Management thought it advisable to undertake a Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) whereby the Company''s obligations to pay interest and principal on borrowings has been deferred by availing certain concessions like moratorium etc. from the Bankers.

DIVIDEND:

In view of losses, the Directors regret their inability to recommend dividend for the financial year ended 31st March, 2014.

BUSINESS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK:

World class logistics infrastructure on a pan India basis, created by your Company provides for unified supply chain as an unique concept and serves as an one stop shop for all the needs of logistics.

Arshiya plans to capitalize on India''s mammoth logistics opportunity by being India''s only Unified Supply Chain Infrastructure and Solutions Group. With a rich legacy in the logistics and supply chain industry in India, Arshiya''s unique business model makes it a pioneering company in the country.

(I) Arshiya Rail & Rail Infrastructure:

Arshiya Rail Infrastructure started its operations in February 2009. Our unique model has resulted in Arshiya Rail being the second largest Private Container Train Operator (PCTO) in India. This company is operating total 20 container trains at present and mostly in domestic sector. The company stands atop with regard to freight transportation per annum among all PCTO.

(II) Arshiya Free Trade & Warehousing Zones (FTWZ):

Over the last few decades India has been losing investments to neighbouring economies, which were being used by global corporations as bases for feeding India, due to lack of comparable infrastructure availability in India.

With FTWZs developed by Arshiya, our country will be able to leverage ''Soft Infrastructure'' such as skilled manpower, cost competitiveness, regulatory framework, IT connectivity, as well as ''Hard Infrastructure'' such as dedicated state-of-the-art mega logistics parks FTWZs, rail connectivity, industrial & distribution hubs, transport & handling and world class supply chain management services. FTWZ will be a game changer for international as well as domestic companies which are importing, exporting or re-exporting products to and from India.

FTWZ provides assistance to various potential clients for import and export, who struggle hard to recover taxes and duties paid while import of the inputs and other merchandise. They face the burden of spending heavy amounts towards recovery expenses apart from the time consumption or have to forego the duties paid because of lack of provisions. Through FTWZ they reduce their cost burden because of available special provisions in Law.

The first FTWZ developed by Arshiya in Maharashtra near Mumbai/Panvel is a credential for FTWZ concept in India. With over 500 customer base domestic as well as international, India can be proud of providing a successful unified supply chain concept in the country.

Arshiya Northern FTWZ Limited (ANFTWZ), a subsidiary has developed an FTWZ at Khurja to cater to the needs of North India. The state of the art railway siding at Khurja will further reduce the overall logistics cost between gateway ports and FTWZ/ICD.

Being a pioneer in FTWZ business in India, ANFTWZ is facing a few regulatory challenges which have been taken up at the highest level with concerned Government authorities and the authorities are appreciative of the issues and your Management hopes to get all of the issues sorted out at the earliest.

On a Consolidated basis your Company has recorded a loss aftertax over the previous year. The general overall slow down in industrial growth and sluggish trend had its negative impact on your Company''s operations. Besides, Your Company had to face various constraints in the day to day operations due to regulatory and other issues which have been severely impacting the progressive and profitable operations of the Company such as:

- Stoppage ofTranshipment of cargo from Mumbai Portto FTWZ

- Delays in Duty Drawback

- Non availability of Customs EDI System in FTWZ

- Import General Manifest (IGM) approvals for FTWZs

- Non recognition of Arshiya FTWZ as a port for import of few items especially Cars

However, the Company has taken up these issues at the highest levels of Government and it is expected that the issues will be resolved early to enable smoother day to day operations and better performance.

In the mean time, several initiatives and measures to rationalise expenses, costs, improve effective utilisation of human and material resources to the optimum level have been taken. In view of the above, various steps have been taken viz. downsizing of excess personnel to make it a lean and effective organisation, termination of certain contractual arrangements at different locations across the country to be cost effective, monitoring utilisation of equipment more efficiently and overall general cost control, austerity measures etc. to list a few.

Your Directors felt it expedient to contain high finance costs, chanalise cash flow for operations leading to more productivity, Debt servicing and to make the resources available for the day to, day operations of the Company, Your Directors felt the necessity to seek a Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) whereby the Company''s obligations to pay interest and principal on borrowings could be deferred, availing of certain concessions like moratorium for payments etc. from the Bankers. Accordingly, the Company''s CDR proposals are before the Bankers and the same are being favorably considered and the procedural process is under progress.

DIVIDEND:

In view of losses, the Directors regret their inability to recommend dividend for the financial year ended 31st March 2013.

BUSINESS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK:

World class logistics infrastructure on a pan India basis created by your Company provides for unified supply chain as a unique concept and serves as a one stop shop for all the needs of logistics. There is no doubt this has revolutionised the logistics space in the country.

Arshiya plans to capitalize on India''s mammoth logistics opportunity by being India''s only Unified Supply Chain Infrastructure and Solutions Group. With a rich legacy in the logistics and supply chain industry in India, Arshiya''s unique business model makes it a pioneering company, not just in India, but world over. (1) Arshiya Free Trade & Warehousing Zones (FTWZ):

Over the last few decades, India has been losing investments to neighbouring economies, which were being used by global corporations as bases for feeding India, due to lack of comparable infrastructure availability in India.

With FTWZs developed by Arshiya, our country will be able to leverage ''Soft Infrastructure'' such as skilled manpower, cost competitiveness, regulatory framework, IT connectivity, as well as ''Hard Infrastructure'' such as dedicated state-of-the-art mega logistics parks FTWZs, rail connectivity, industrial & distribution hubs, transport & handling and world class supply chain management services. FTWZ will be a game changer for international as well as domestic companies which are importing, exporting or re-exporting products to and from India.

The first FTWZ developed in Maharashtra near Mumbai/Panvel is a credential for FTWZ concept in India. With over 500 customer base domestic as well as international, India can be proud of providing a successful unified supply chain concept in the country.

Arshiya Northern FTWZ Limited (ANFTWZ), a subsidiary has developed an FTWZ at Khurja to cater to the needs of North India.

FTWZ provides assistance to various potential clients for import and export, who struggle hard to recover taxes and duties paid while import of the inputs and other merchandise. They face the burden of spending heavy amounts towards recovery expenses apart from the time consumption or have to forego the duties paid because of lack of provisions. Through FTWZ they reduce their cost burden because it being a deemed foreign territory.

FTWZ clients can also make use of the ICD facilities at Khurja to reduce the overall logistics costs. The state of the art railway siding at Khurja will further reduce the overall logistics cost between gateway ports and FTWZ/ICD.

Being a pioneer in FTWZ business in India, ANFTWZ is facing a few regulatory challenges which have been taken up at the highest level with concerned Government authorities and the authorities are appreciative of the issues and your Management hopes to get most of the issues resolved early.

BUSINESS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

With its 10-year legacy in the logistics industry, servicing over 1,200 customers, Arshiya has a vision to reduce India’s ‘last mile logistics & supply chain cost from 14% to 9%, thus targeting the absolute inefficiency of US$ 50 billion in the country. It leverages Arshiya’s unique competency of combining ‘Soft Infrastructure’ such as asset-light 3PL, 4PL services, with innovative ‘Hard Infrastructure’ such as Free Trade and Warehousing Zones, Rail Infrastructure and Domestic Distriparks, integrated through customized IT solutions.

With an investment outlay of US$1.5 billion, Arshiya will be the industry pioneer in development and operations of state-of-the-art logistics infrastructure solutions across strategic locations in India.

This year will be an extremely exciting one for Arshiya with its core business adding momentum, FTWZ becoming operational and additional trains being added to Arshiya’s rail operations with strategic siding infrastructure being developed pan India, all while global economic conditions are improving. Five ‘Domestic Distriparks’ have been planned pan-India, complementing the FTWZ network. The first of the distriparks will be in Khurja (near Delhi) in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

Arshiyas model has been instrumental in successfully securing full financial closure of ` 2,628 crores for the first phase of its FTWZs, and rail and Domestic Distripark projects. This includes Rs 533 crores, Rs 421 crores and Rs 492 crores for the FTWZ in Panvel, Khurja and Nagpur respectively. Phase 1 of Arshiya’s rail project will cost ` 626 crores and the Domestic Distripark ` 556 crores.

(I) Arshiya Free Trade and Warehousing Zones (FTWZ)

The FTWZ regulatory framework under the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Act of 2005 will give India the much needed impetus to drive its economic growth to the next level, truly leveraging the nation’s vast domestic market and growing purchasing power parity. Over the last few decades India has been losing investments to neighbouring economies, which were being used by global corporations as bases for feeding India, due to lack of comparable infrastructure availability in India.

With FTWZs, our country will be able to leverage ‘Soft Infrastructure’ such as skilled manpower, cost competitiveness, regulatory framework IT connectivity, as well as ‘Hard Infrastructure’ such as dedicated state-of-the-art mega logistics parks, rail connectivity and world class supply chain management services.

(II) Arshiya Rail Infrastructure

Arshiya Rail Infrastructure started its operations in February 2009. In FY10, this Company has added 10 trains to its portfolio, with phase 1 plans for inducting a total of 25 to 30 trains in FY11. Our unique model has resulted in Arshiya Rail being the most profitable private container rail operator in India.

(III) Arshiya Domestic Distripark

Arshiya Domestic Distripark is a venture designed to provide companies with a strategic hub warehousing for domestic consolidation of goods. This rail-connected mega consolidation hubs promise considerable time and cost reduction.

The first of Arshiyas five planned Domestic Distriparks is strategically located at the confluence of the Eastern and Western freight corridors at Khurja (near Delhi) in the state of Uttar Pradesh. It is further benefited by the adjoining presence of the modern high-capacity Arshiya Rail infrastructure and Free Trade and Warehousing Zone. It allows companies to access ports and the hinterland through both the freight corridors. This debottlenecked location, helps companies to cut down drastically on so-called inevitable transportation expenses, prevalent in India.

A Domestic Distripark has dedicated container yards to process incoming cargo, customized warehousing facilities, state-of- the-art cargo handling equipment, skilled manpower, integrated IT services for complete visibility, road and rail connectivity. Thus greatly aiding in reducing a company’s capital expenses as a consolidation point in the region and make the supply chain more profitable. The development of Domestic Distriparks will generate substantial economic activity and infrastructure development in the region in terms of employment to the locals, development of roads, schools, connectivity, housing, trade, etc.
