GuideMeSingapore: Region's Growth Strengthens Singapore's Position as Investment Hub


Singapore, Friday, November 30, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- The continued growth of economic activity in Southeast Asia is contributing to new investments and corporate activity in Singapore, says leading Singapore business incorporation portal www.GuideMeSingapore.com.

As Southeast Asian countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia continue to post strong numbers, businesses in these countries looking to raise capital or widen their operations are turning to Singapore, the region's financial hub.

Even with the global economic slump dampening overall investment activity, a total of S$2.7 billion from initial public offerings (IPOs) in Singapore has been raised so far this year. Many of these are Asian companies looking to raise capital in the global market, while also benefiting from advantages such as the ability to list in dual currencies on the SGX.

Another area where Singapore continues to perform well is corporate merger and acquisition (M&A) activities. According to Mergermarket, a total of US$24.6 billion in deals took place in Singapore during the first nine months of 2012. This can be attributed to Singapore's status as the region's financial and legal hub, notably its fast-rising reputation as an international arbitration jurisdiction. The city now ranks behind only Japan in terms of M&A growth.

"With the strong growth in many Southeast Asian economies, large companies in these countries are seeking to expand by raising more capital. For them, it makes sense to be listed in Singapore because the city is strategically located in the heart of the region. At the same time its standing as an international hub means that these companies can raise their global profile and widen their investor base," said Ms. Jacqueline Low, Chief Operating Officer of Janus Corporate Solutions, a leading Singapore incorporation, accounting and immigration services firm and the parent company of GuideMeSingapore.com.

"The latest example is Filipino food producer Alliance Select Foods International, which is seeking to list on the SGX-Catalist board next year. The listing would make it the first publicly-traded Filipino company to debut in Singapore," she explained. "Meanwhile, Jakarta-based Harita Group's nickel-mining division plans to raise as much as US$250 million when it debuts on the SGX."

"In India, which is located just outside the ASEAN region, big-name companies are also looking to Singapore for expansions. Religare Health Trust, which is operated by Indian healthcare giant Fortis Healthcare, raised over S$510 million in their IPO this past October," continued Ms. Low. "Reliance Communications is just waiting for the right time to go forward with their anticipated US$1 billion IPO, while Indian private equity firm Everstone Capital Partners is set to acquire the Harry's brand of pubs and restaurants in Singapore."

"Of course, the more popular option for Asian companies looking to establish a global presence, particularly SMEs, is still through incorporation in Singapore. In the last quarter, there were 14,243 new business registrations in Singapore. Whether it is a subsidiary company, a branch office, or simply a representative office to do networking and market research, there are plenty of options for foreign company registration in Singapore. Regardless of whether a company decides to simply list here, or create a presence through incorporation, what is clear is that Singapore is definitely the regional destination for investment and corporate activities," she concluded.

BWI: Emerging LED Lighting Market in India to push Urban Planning towards Eco-Efficiency and Low-carbon Trajectory

Press release from Business Wire India
Source: Frost & Sullivan

--------------------------------------------------
Emerging LED Lighting Market in India to push Urban Planning towards Eco-Efficiency and Low-carbon Trajectory
Indian construction market expected to grow to USD 500 billion by 2025. It was USD 100 billion in 2010

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Thursday, November 29, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- An "energy" revolution akin to the Green and White revolutions that occurred few years ago altering the agriculture and dairy sectors, is the need of the hour in India. And, Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting will be at the heart of such a revolution. Mandatory norms of energy efficiency for new buildings/facilities, incentive support for energy-efficient projects, Integrated Lighting Management Systems (ILMS) for street lighting, and phasing out of energy-guzzling lighting products could trigger an energy-efficiency revolution in India.

The LED lighting market in India is at a nascent stage and these lighting systems are yet to make inroads into the market, which is currently dominated by compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and T5 fluorescent lamps (T-FL). Poor penetration is due to high upfront cost of LED lighting systems, absence of standards, testing, measurement and verification protocols, and low level of awareness.

LED lighting systems are anticipated to play significant role in reducing India's overall energy requirements. Energy consumption can be reduced by usage of LED lighting for street lighting, in conjunction with ILMS. Implementing energy saving performance contracts (ESPC) for residential and commercial segments and integrating LED lighting controls and systems with building management systems will further lower energy costs of a building. Some LED lighting suppliers are bundling ESPC services along with their lighting products and energy-saving solutions, to diversify their revenue stream.

Current policies on energy efficiency might become redundant considering the construction sector's growth rate in India. The construction market is booming again and has been forecast to increase from USD 100 billion in 2010 to USD 154 billion by 2015, and USD 500 billion by 2025. Investments in green buildings are projected to increase to USD 30 billion by 2015.

Currently, seven mega cities are proposed to be built along the 1,500-km long Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) with the help of Japanese government and Japanese corporations such as Matsushita, Hitachi, and Mitsubishi. A total of 24 mega cities have been planned - along the line of states like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Maharashtra - with the seven proposed cities to be completed by 2018-19 in the first phase. The whole DMIC project cost is estimated at USD 90 billion.

Prices of LED lighting systems have fallen by more than 30 percent in the past 2-3 years due to increasing adoption and manufacturing technology improvements. Mass commercialization and acceptance will lead to a further fall in prices, which will make these products more affordable for commercial segments as well as low and middle-income households in the residential segment. With 20 percent of electricity consumption in a building attributed to lighting systems, there is indeed a great potential for LED lighting to gain prominence in India. One of the major schemes that the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) is implementing during the 11th Five Year Plan (FYP) (2007-12) includes - Bachat Lamp Yojana, an ongoing program to promote energy-efficient and high-quality CFLs as replacement for incandescent bulbs. Going forward, in the 12th and 13th FYPs, the Government must make efforts to replace these CFLs with LEDs.

Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC), which sets minimum energy performance standards for new commercial buildings, has stipulated energy use of 110 kWh/m2/year as against the national benchmark of 180 kWh/m2/year. BEE is also targeting to reduce energy consumption by municipal street lighting systems, which currently adopt energy-guzzling lamps.

The Indian market is highly driven by the principle of 'value for money'. Offerings in future will be aimed at providing better quality and durable LEDs at low prices. The LED market in India was completely import-dependent in the past. However, few companies in India are now entering into joint ventures with foreign companies. Cheap imports from China, Taiwan, and Korea by distributors and dealers have been found to be of poor quality that has hurt the confidence of genuine users. Absence of regulations and standards form a conducive market environment for such unorganized sectors to thrive. Today, India being a growing market for LEDs, many overseas companies are setting up manufacturing plants to cater to the growing needs of commercial, municipal (street lighting), and residential customers.

Cities of the future will most certainly witness dramatic changes in urban planning. It is thus imperative to incorporate smart concepts and greater information technology (IT) usage to monitor usage, reduce leaks/slippages, and aid in efficient delivery mechanism through effective demand management. This means that going forward, lighting companies would have to work in sync with software companies, and energy service companies (ESCOs), building management solution providers, and public agencies/urban local bodies, to bring various "smart" concepts to fruition.

The DQ Top 20 Industry Report is an in-depth analysis of India's PLM market. The most recent report states that PLM solutions are increasingly permeating the manufacturing ecosystem in India, and in fact, India's PLM market grew 8 percent from 2010 to 2011.

The automotive industry continued to be the key driver of PLM solution adoption in India, followed by heavy engineering and industrial machinery. These industries also saw an increase in the adoption of PLM solutions by mid-tier manufacturers.

The report also highlights the growing trend of 3D-based PLM applications and the increasing acceptance of these applications in manufacturing environments.

Siemens' set of open PLM solutions help enable this expansion with offerings like its Teamcenter® portfolio, the world's most widely used digital lifecycle management software, and the Tecnomatix® portfolio, its industry leading digital manufacturing software.

As India stands on the cusp of becoming one of the growth engines of the world, ensuring that every Indian enjoys this right is imperative.But consider this: 65 per cent of our population does not have access to modern medicine, only 13% of the population have access to a primary healthcare centers and less than 10% have access to a hospital. It is even worse if one looks at the rural/urban divide: about 80 per cent of doctors, 75 per cent of dispensaries and 60 per cent of hospitals are located in urban areas.

"It is this anomaly that we want to change. Access to a primary healthcare system in India is perceived a challenge, the Virtual Medical Kiosk devised by ehealth Access aims to change this perception forever," said Mr. Jayadeep Reddy, CEO and Founder, ehealth Access.
