    REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS & MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION ANDANALYSIS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH, 2017

    1. Your Directors submit their Report for the nancial year ended31st March, 2017.

    2. ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

    The Indian economy is estimated to grow by 7.1% in real termsduring 2016-17 as against a growth of 7.9% in 2015-16. Gross ValueAdded (GVA) growth (at basic prices) is expected at 6.7% in2016-17, against 7.8% in 2015-16. Economic indicators such ascredit off-take, capacity utilisation and investments continue topoint to weakness in the broader economy, although in ation andCurrent Account De cit remained in the comfort zone aided,inter-alia, by low crude oil prices. The Governments commitment tocontain the Fiscal De cit also helped maintain macro-economicstability.

    Services sector growth slowed in 2016-17, especially postdemonetisation from November 2016 onwards. While Industry growthgures indicated signs of recovery, other measures (e.g. IIP)continued to re ect muted growth. Agriculture growth was positivelyimpacted by normal monsoon after 2 consecutive years of poorrainfall.

    Sustained macro-economic stability, including decline inheadline in ation, led to RBI continuing with its accommodativeMonetary Policy to stimulate economic growth. The Central Bank cutPolicy interest rates by 50 bps in the rst half of the nancialyear, taking the aggregate cuts to 175 bps since January 2015.Further, to facilitate better transmission of interest rate cuts,the RBI, at the beginning of the nancial year, shifted its MonetaryPolicy stance to progressively reduce li uidity de cit in theBanking system and bring it to a position closer to neutrality. Inresponse to liquidity measures from the RBI, market interest ratesstarted to decline. However, the withdrawal of speci ed bank notesduring the year resulted in signi cant increase in banking systemliquidity and led to steep fall in market interest rates and bankdeposit / lending rates.

    However, bank credit growth continues to remain tepid despitefall in borrowing costs. This alongwith Central Governmentscommitment to scal prudence and continuation of monetary stimulusby Central Banks

    in Europe and Japan are expected to push market interest ratesfurther lower. However, trajectory of monsoon in 2017, rally inglobal commodity prices, persistence in core Consumer Price Ination which poses upside risks, volatility in currency markets andnormalisation of monetary policy by global Central Banks canadversely in uence sentiment and cause market interest rates toremain range bound in nancial year 2017-18.
