LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

A multi-product, multi-division and multi-location company, The Saraswati Industrial Syndicate manufactures crystal sugar, sugar plants, ingots and steel castings, pressure vessels and fabricates specialised items and hydraulic presses. 

 
The company had undertaken the expansion of the Titawi sugar factory and the Mawana sugar factory. In 1995, the company's Indian Sugar and General Engineering Corporation (ISGEC) was awarded the ISO 9001 certification by Lloyds Register of Quality Assurance, UK

 
In 1993, the company's subsidiary -- ISGEC Covema Plastics, was granted a letter of intent for setting up a 2500 tpa sugar plant at Kamoda in the Kurukshetra district of Haryana. The company exports to the UK, south-east Asian countries and to the eastern parts of Africa, west Asia and to the neighbouring countries. The company recently started exporting to Cambodia and Australia also. 

 
During 1998-99, the company has signed a collaboration agreement with an Italian Company, Belleli, for manufacture of High Pressure Reactors used in the fertiliser and refinery industries. 

 
Two major Press Lines were supplied to Krupp JBM Private Limited during 1999-2000, which was a major achievement for the company as these were supplied in a record period of time. The company also supplied a high pressure and sophisticated Reactor to the Indian Oil Corporation, the order of which was booked by their Italian collaborator but the fabrication was done in the company's shops.  

 
An agreement with M/s Foster Wheeler USA for transfer of latest Circulating Fluidized Bed Boilers technology was signed in 2000-01.The company has got exports orders for Cupro Nickel and Chrome Ferrite Stainless Steel Heat Exchanges.

 

BUSINESS

 

FINANCIAL RESULTS : 

 
The company had a good year and performance improved substantially. The Profit for the year stood at Rs. 674.300 Millions compared to Rs. 267.100 Millions in the previous year. The Order Book stands at record level. Business continues to be good and sales are expected to be even better. 

 
The subsidiary company, Saraswati Sugar Mills Limited, is entering into a phase where huge sugar surpluses are expected in the country. Sugar Prices have been declining continuously over the last few months and the subsidiary company's financial results are likely to be severely impacted in the coming year. 

 

OPERATIONS : 

 
Total sales at Rs. 9300 Millions were more than double than those of the previous year. Exports at Rs. 1240 Millions were also nearly double than those of the previous year. Their equipments are now working in 69 countries compared to 61 countries in the previous year. Besides supplies to existing customers in North America and Europe, new customers were found in Central Asia, Central America and Africa


In view of increasing export potential, the company has decided to set up a new Plant on the Gujarat Coast at Dahej, and this is expected to commence production by December 2007. This plant will manufacture heavier and bigger Pressure Vessels than are being produced in Yamunanagar. 

 
Further capacity expansion was carried out in all lines of business. 

 
The company opened offices in North America and Europe

 
Notable export orders booked during the year include orders from GE China, Siemens Germany, Petrofac UAE, Luk Brazil and WIA Corporation Korea

 
Important domestic orders booked include two orders for Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion Boilers from Bhushan Groups, Bagasse fired Boilers from Bajaj Hindusthan, Pressure Vessels from Reliance Petroleum and Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Steel Castings from Alstom and Presses from Ford Motors. 

 
The First Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion Boiler with the latest Foster Wheeler Technology (Compact Type) has been commissioned. 

 
During the year the company signed a Technology License Agreement with ABB Lummus Heat Transfer, USA, to market, sell and manufacture Helix Heat Exchangers (Helixchanger) products. 

 
In the last year's Directors' Report a statement had been made regarding listing on Bombay Stock Exchange. Directors would like to clarify that the statement was intended to refer to the application for listing on Indonext Segment of that Exchange and, not listing under the Permitted Category; the later was not followed up due to introduction of the Indonext Segment. 

 
ISGEC (Works) 

 
(i) A number of steps were taken to progressively replace higher power consuming equipment with energy efficient equipment. 

 
(ii) An energy audit was got conducted by Petroleum Conservation Research Association and their recommendations for conserving energy are under implementation. 

 
Uttar Pradesh Steels 

 
(iii) A new induction furnace was installed, which is energy efficient. Power saving of approximately 10% per ton of Liquid Metal produced has been achieved over last year. 

 
(d) Total energy consumption and energy consumption per unit of production.

 

TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION, ADOPTION AND INNOVATION : 

 
The technology absorption of Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) for boilers under Technology Transfer agreement with Foster Wheeler, USA, is not yet complete. They are making continuous efforts to assimilate the Technology. The Agreement is valid upto 2012 and their continued co-operation with Foster Wheeler will help them in getting future technological innovations and advancements. 

 
During the year they signed a Technology License Agreement with ABB Lummus Heat Transfer, USA, to market, sell and manufacture Helix Heat Exchanger (Helixchanger) products, based on the technical information to be provided by ABB Lummus Heat Transfer, USA. They hope to book some orders of Helixchanger Products in near future and this will facilitate the absorption of the technology. 

 

Segment Analysis and Review : 

 
a) Manufacturing of heavy capital goods : 

 
These include Pressure Vessels, Hydraulic and Mechanical Presses and Castings. The manufacturing facilities are located at Yamunanagar (Haryana) and Muzaffarnagar (U.P.). They have bought land in Dahej (Gujarat) for another manufacturing unit and hope to get it operational by the end of the calendar year 2007. The pressure vessels business grew because of a boom in the Oil, Gas and Petrochemical sectors. 

 
During the period under review, they exported pressure vessels to KNPC Kuwait, Petrofac Sharjah, Petroleum Development Oman, Consolidated Construction Company Oman, and Japan Gas Corporation Japan
 
Efforts are being made to get their selves approved from more consultants and end users so as to increase their exports. The new facility at Dahej will manufacture pressure vessels heavier than what they are manufacturing at present. 
 
The Presses business which supplies equipment mainly to the automobile sector, saw increased turnover because of the expansion of the Automobile Sector.  

 
Foundry business which is now concentrated more on complex castings used in the Power sector grew because of a worldwide growth in this sector. The Foundry nearly doubled its output and plans are in hand for a further expansion. 
 
b) Engineering, Procurement and Construction Business : 

 
In this line of business, the company engineers, procures and sets up boiler units and sugar plants. It also undertakes to commission these plants and takes guarantees for their performance and efficiency. This work is done out of its office in Noida (U.P.). The boiler business mainly supplies to process industries like Sugar, Cement, Steel, Paper etc. With the boom in economy, this Division also saw increased sales. The business for Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion boilers with technology from Foster Wheeler, their technology provider, saw a very significant increase. The sugar machinery business also boomed mainly because of the setting up of a large number of sugar plants in U.P. 


Outlook and Threats : 

 
The boom in the Indian Economy should lead to a high demand for capital goods. Moreover, the company is making a concerted effort to increase exports. Therefore, an increase in the turnover in the coming years is expected. However, they are facing increased competition from new suppliers, Indian as well as overseas (particularly Chinese), in all the segments mentioned above. Consequently, margins are expected to be under pressure. Exports are also becoming increasingly competitive and the weakening of Dollar may have an adverse effect on their exports. In certain areas, for instance, Presses and Boilers, keeping abreast with overseas technology is a major concern. Raw material prices continue to be very volatile and could lead to large fluctuations in the bottom line. Human resources continue to remain scarce and their costs are also rising significantly.

saraswati industrial syndicate

 

The company is a Rs. 5000 millions, multi-product, public limited company, with interests in Boilers, pressure Vessels, Heat Exchangers, Hydraulic and Mechanical Presses, Steel and Alloys Steel Castings, Sugar Plant Machinery, Turnkey Project Services for Sugar and Industrial Boilers as well as production of sugar.

 

Established way back in 1933, the company started off by setting up the Saraswati Sugar Mulls at Yamunanagar in Haryana, India. It is one of India’s largest sugar mills, with a cane crushing capacity of 12,500 TPD.
