LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

Incorporated in 1973, as Cement Corporation of Gujarat, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Gujarat Industrial Investment Corporation (GIIC), subject was promoted by GIIC and the Mehta group. The company got its present name in January, 1994. 


Subject undertook a project to manufacture 1 mtpa of portland cement on 344 hectares land obtained at Junagadh District, Gujarat. The mining lease of 254 hectares is awaited. Subject is a sick company registered with the BIFR since July, 1990.

 

Due to differences between the two promoters and the following prolonged litigation, GIIC decided to disinvest part of its holding in the company, in favour of the Mehta's. The Mehta group with a 38% equity stake, now exercises control over the company. 


The company came out with its first rights issue in January, 1990, followed by a second one in July, 1994 to pay off loans, add balancing equipment and raise its capacity from 1 mtpa to 1.2 mtpa. This increased the equity to Rs 1190.8 millions. 

 
Subject has been awarded the coveted Certificate under ISO-9002 by TUV Private Limited, a subsidiary of RWTUV of Germany for excellence in quality management. 

 
Over the last three years, the company has been showing signs of recovery, with higher capacity utilisation each year. GSCL received a Certificate of Merit for 1995-96 from CAPEXIL for its export performance. 


The company is also planning to install a captive power plant, construct a captive jetty close to the plant along with other modernisation jobs in its plant. 


The company is planning to go for modernisation of its raw mill, preheater and clinker cooler systems.

 

Company’s fixed assets include Land Free hold and Lease hold, Buildings, Plant and Machinery, Furniture, Fixtures and Office Equipments, Vehicles and Railway siding.

 

Cement consumption on an All India basis increased by 10.14% i.e. from 123.08 million tones to 135.56 million tones and installed capacity increased from 151.61 million tones to 157.15million tones during the year 2005-2006.

 

Cement consumption in Gujarat increased by about 0.41 million tones to 9.12 million tones for the year ended March 2006 as against 8.71 million tones in the previous year. Exports of cement increased to 4.72 million tones as against 3.08 million tones in the previous year.

 

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

Production and Despatches

 

Cement production during the year was 0.93 million tones as against 0.55 million tones in the previous year, an increase of 69%. Clinker production during the year was 1.21 million tones as against 1.07 million tones in the previous year.

 

Cement sales during the year in domestic market was 0.71 million tones as against 0.55 million tones in the previous year. The Company exported 0.39 million tones of cement during the year as against nil export in previous year.

 

The Company exported 0.30 million tones of clinker and sold 0.13 million tones in the local market, as compared to 0.55 million tones and 0.18 million tones respectively in the previous year.

 

The Company continued to use indigenously available pet coke mixed with imported coal to the extent of 48% of fuel used, thereby offsetting the high cost of imported coal. However, during the year, the cost of raw materials, coal, pet coke and fuel increased substantially resulting in lower contribution. The inward and outward freight also increased due to substantial hike in prices of petroleum products and restriction on loading of material on trucks

 

Marketing and Exports

 

During the year under review, the total sales including exports, were 1.53 million tones as against 1.28 million tones, an increase of about 19.5% over the previous year. Out of the total sales, about 45.5% were sold in the international market.

 

The Company exported 0.69 million metric tones of cement and clinker during the year under review as against 0.55 million metric tones in the previous year. There has been a continued growth in demand for cement and clinker in the Gulf region. It is expected that the growth in consumption of cement in the Gulf region shall continue. The significant aspect of the exports during the year was a shift to cement exports from clinker exports.

 

Rehabilitation

 

Members are aware that the Company's net worth had been eroded and was referred to The Board of Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (B1FR). A Revival Scheme was sanctioned by the Honorable Appellate Authority for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (AA1FR) in November 2002 envisaging setting up of a captive Power Plant and construction of Jetty with mechanized loading and unloading facilities near the factory, with necessary relief and concessions from the Banks / Financial Institutions &- Government of Gujarat and infusion of further equity by the promoter group.

 

Further, the sanctioned Rehabilitation Scheme interalia also provided for restructuring of debts, grant of fresh loans and subscription to share capital for financing the cost of the scheme.

 

As per the Order of Honorable AAIFR, the payment of interest and repayment of principal amount to Banks &- Financial Institutions was to commence w.e.f 1.4.2004. The Company had requested for extending the period of moratorium which was agreed in principle by the banks and financial institutions, subject to the approval of relevant authorities and Honorable BIFR.

 

The Government of Gujarat filed a Writ Petition in the Gujarat High Court challenging the order of the Honorable AAIFR contending that the parity in sacrifice should be observed in absolute amounts and not in terms of percentage of outstanding. The same was however, dismissed by the Gujarat High Court. The Government of Gujarat has filed a Letters Patent Appeal in the Gujarat High Court against the dismissal of the writ and the appeal is pending for admission.

 

The Company is making regular payment of the dues of the Government of Gujarat and has paid off Rs. 272.8 millions during the year under report.

 

Jetty & D.G. Sets

 

As per the Rehabilitation Scheme, the Company has initiated the steps to have own captive jetty. The State Government has already approved the allotment of land for jetty site and installation of storage and handling facilities. The Company has paid for the land and taken possession. However, in view of the withholding of the loans from financial institutions, further progress on the jetty project is delayed. The D.G. Sets are installed at the plant and are under commissioning.

 

Future Outlook

 

During the year 2005-2006, the Indian economy achieved an impressive GDP growth of 8%. In the current year, considering a satisfactory monsoon throughout the country, the tempo of GDP growth is likely to be maintained which is expected to result in growth in demand of cement.

 

Long term prospects of the cement industry in India as well as in Gujarat continue to remain bright. The growth in the infrastructure sector especially roads and irrigation, is expected to result in increase in demand for cement. Moreover, the construction boom in the U.A.E. and other Gulf countries will help the plants in Gujarat to export their surplus production, ensuring full capacity utilization.

 

The areas of concern, however, are the high cost of energy, fuel and transport and competition from new capacities being added in the country by existing and new entrants.
