HISTORY

 

Hyderabad Industries (HIL), a C K Birla group company was incorporated as Hyderabad Asbestos Cement in Jun. '46 and was renamed to the present one in Nov.1985. HIL is into the business of producing Building Products , Engineering goods and Industrial products. It is the largest manufacturer & exporter of A C Roofing sheets in India. It is also a market leader in this product in India. It came out with its first public issue in 1946. The Company having its works in Hyderabad, Thimmapur, Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh, Faridabad and Dharuhera in Haryana, Jasidih in Jharkhand, Uttarapara in West Bengal, Kannigaiper Village in Tamilnadu and Wada in Maharashtra. 

 
HIL markets its product AC Sheets under the well known brand Charminar A C sheets. HIL is also the largest manufacturer of calcium silicate, insulation blocks, pipe sections and jointings for gasketing, thereby meeting the critical needs of the fertiliser, engineering and chemical industries.  

 
The company manufactures a well-diversified range of engineering goods such as plant and machinery for A C products, slurry pumps, heavy duty screens, crushers, etc, used in mining and power plants. Its engineering division offers expertise on setting up A C roofing sheet projects on a turnkey basis. Its heavy enginnering division manufactures hydraulic excavators (in technical collaboration with Mannesmann Demag Baumaschinen, Germany), cranes, steel castings, steel part equipments, etc. 

 
In Jul.'92, the company issued redeemable partly convertible debentures of Rs 160 on rights basis. In Dec.'95, it issued non-covertible debentures of Rs 100. As a step towards further diversification into a new range of building products, the company entered into a technical collaboration with Building Technologies, Australia, to manufacture pre-fabricated building panels. It also entered into a technical collaboration with Peiner Hebe and Transport Systems, Germany, to manufacture tower cranes. The company was awarded a certificate of merit by CAPEXIL for outstanding export performance in 1993-94.

 

PERFORMANCE 

 

During the period under review the Fibre Cement Sheet Industry has grown by over 12% but the Company could not share the growth of industry due to non-availability of adequate stocks. Strike at Jasidih Unit of the Company affected the production of Fibre cement sheets. However, better realization in Building Products Segment coupled with cost control measures enabled the Company to achieve good results. The competition among the manufacturers is leading to pressure on prices. New entrants to the market are also putting pressure on the prices to gain market share close to their plants. The Company products enjoy the brand image and loyalty of customer since over 5 decades. 

 
Autoclaved Aerated Blocks (AAC Blocks) and Aerocon Panels have entered this year into a new era. Demand is very high for these products from various types of customers. The Company is planning to expand its capacities in the near future to meet the market demand for these products. Marketing of these products by dissemination of information of various uses, applications and inherent advantages of these products as cost effective and time saving products gave good results. Emphasis of the Company on technical support, guidance cost-benefit analysis of usage of these products to the customers has helped to attract new customers to these products. 

 
The production and sales of Thermal Insulation Products (Refractories) and Process Plant and Machinery were satisfactory during the year under review. The performance of Jointings has slowed-down due to severe competition from small scale and un-organised sector. 

 

EXPANSION 
 
New fibre cement sheet plant set-up at Sathariya IDA in the state of Uttar Pradesh is expected to commence commercial production in the first quarter of current financial year. This would enable the Company to retain its market share in the northern belt. 

 
To maintain market leadership position and protect profitability, the Company has decided to put up two new sheeting plants and a Blocks plant during 2006-07. This will entail a capital expenditure of about Rs.1000 Millions which will be financed through internal accruals and borrowings. 

 

INCREASE OF CAPITAL 

 
In terms of the scheme of amalgamation of MBPL with the Company 29 fully paid-up equity shares of Rs.10/- each of the Company for every 100 fully paid-up equity shares of Rs.10/- each of MBPL are to be allotted to the shareholders of MBPL. Accordingly the Company has put Rs.31,49,310/- in capital suspense account to capitalise the same as and when shares are allotted to the shareholders of MBPL. The shares which would be allotted to the shareholders of MBPL shall rank pari passu in all respects with the existing equity shares of the Company. 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 
Operating Results of the Company 

 
During the year under review the Company has recorded a sales turnover (net) of Rs.4502.894 Millions and PBIDT of Rs.742.676 Millions as against Rs.4079.588 Millions and Rs.521.873 Millions in the previous year. 

 
Outlook for the Company 

 
Fibre Cement Sheet is the main product of the Company contributing about 83% of the total revenue. The Company also manufactures Aerocon Panels an in-house developed product, Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks etc., in the Building Products Segment and Thermal Insulation Products and Jointings. The Company has an Engineering Division in Hyderabad which deals in manufacture and supply of plant and machinery and other related services. 

 
During the year under review Malabar Building Products Limited (MBPL), promoted by the Company in Joint Sector was amalgamated with the Company. MBPL operates in the sheeting business and thus this merger offers synergic benefits of consolidation. 

 
Fibre Cement Sheet i.e. corrugated roofing sheet which is predominantly used for roofing of industrial sheds, warehouses, poultry farms, houses of weaker section people, is the most cost effective roofing material available in the market. Considering various factors the demand for the product would continue to grow. In the Fibre Cement Sheet industry the Company is one of the oldest one and is having good brand image for its brand 'CHARMINAR' in the Indian Market. 

 
The Company has about 24% of the market share in this industry. This industry has registered a good growth of over 12% in the previous year attracting the existing players to expand their capacities and new entrepreneurs to enter into the industry. Economic boom in the country led by various factors and Government's thrust on building infrastructure may further boost the growth prospectus of the industry in the coming years. Further, the Government's stance to rural housing and building-up of storage facilities for farmers may enhance the demand for the sheet. Higher prices of steel, zinc etc., would continue to provide economic rationale for demand shift from GI sheets to fibre cement sheets. Over-all, the industry outlook is optimistic. 

 
As informed earlier the Company has set-up a green field sheet manufacturing plant at Sathariya Industrial Development Area in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Commercial production of this unit is due to commence in the first quarter of current financial year. With this the Company's capacity for sheeting will become about 652,000 MTA. 

 
To enable the Company to participate in the growth of this market and protect its market share, proposals of capacity addition at existing locations as well as new locations are being evaluated. Capacity creation has become essential to strengthen cost competitiveness and protect profitability. 

 

 The marketing strategy adopted by the Company for AEROCON Panels and AAC Blocks has paid rich dividends. The products are getting popular now. Production facilities at existing location are being augmented to meet the market demand. In addition, new plant locations are also being evaluated. 
 
The Company has exited the Heavy Engineering business. The Heavy Engineering Division located at Uttarapara, Kolkata has been disposed off. There are some residual activities to be completed in relation to this business. These however, are not likely to have any significant financial implications.
