Today, subject is one of the leading petrochemical companies. Its business comprises of polymers, synthetic fiber, fiber intermediates, solvents, surfactants, industrial chemicals, catalysts and adsorbents. Backed by strong Research Center, Product Application Centers and Technology Management Centres the company is continuously innovating its processes and products. The company owns and operates three petrochemical complexes, naphtha based complex at Vadodara and gas based complexes at Nagothane near Mumbai and at Dahej on Narmada estuary in Bay of Khambat. The company also owns a catalyst manufacturing facility at Rabale, Navi Mumbai.


Subject is the main promoter of a joint venture (JV) under the auspices of Gujarat Chemical Port Terminal Company Limited (GCPTCL), incorporated in 1992. The objective of this joint venture was to construct and operate a state of the art liquid chemical handling port at Dahej. This project was promoted as a JV with six partners. The port had been commissioned and would open up opportunities for international trade in chemicals in a big way. In view of the strategic importance of the port the company has increased its stake from present 30% to 37% as part of its consolidation strategy.


Moreover the company and General Electric Plastics (GEP) BV, The Netherlands has also jointly ventured to manufacture advanced engineering plastics in India. This was the first time a multinational company joined hands with an Indian Public Sector with equal equity participation. An agreement was signed between the company and GEP to form a 50:50 joint venture in 1991. A joint venture company, General Electric Plastics India Limited (GEPI) was incorporated during the same period. A key feature of the joint venture is that it will cover in its territories of operation, the neighbouring countries and Middle East, which were earlier covered by GE Plastics, The Netherlands. The company has decided to pullout from this business. The negotiations for sale of company's stakes to GE Plastics, BV, The Netherlands. The company has decided to pullout from this business.

 

The Government of India has directed the company to sell its' Vadodara unit to the Indian Oil Corporation after a proper valuation of assets and at a mutually negotiated price. The two companies, however, has not reached a consensus on the price at which the plant should be sold and hence the same is still pending.

 

In pursuance of the approval accorded by the Government of India to the formation of the joint venture company, GEPI was incorporated on 9th December 1991 and the Registered Office of the company was based in the State of Gujarat. The joint venture company was incorporated to achieve set objectives and the authorised share capital of the joint venture company was fixed at Rs. 500 millions divided into 5 million equity shares of Rs. 100 each and the shares were subscribed and paid up for in cash, equally by subject and GEPE.  The share of the company as on 31st March, 2001 was Rs. 250 millions comprising of 2.5 million equity shares of Rs. 100 each in the capital of joint venture company GEPE.

 

The company is currently focusing on improving its performance by laying continued thrust on supply chain management, capacity utilisation, maximising sales revenue in terms of value and volume by strategic positioning of the products in domestic as well as overseas markets. Emphasis is also laid on optimising the logistic and overall productivity in the manufacturing units of the company.

 

The company’s main agenda for the current fiscal was consolidation whereby it will be reviewing its investments in non-core sector and concentrating its activities only in chemicals and petrochemicals. In this regard the company will be offloading its stake in GEPI and pulling out of India Vaccines Corporation Limited which is in the business of oral vaccines since they had not contributed significant returns to the company and there was little business synergy.

 

The company had chalked out expansion plans for the next 5 years which involves capacity addition at Baroda, Nagothane, Gangadhar Complexes and joint ventures in the upstream and down stream units, for efficient resource mobilisation and product utilisation.

 

However, the company had shelved any major capex for the next two years primarily because of two reasons. During 2002-03 the company has divested its equity in GE Plastics India Limited. The company has made on major investment in Gujarat chemical Port Terminal Company Limited, equipped with an modern liquid cargo handling port facility.

 

The company together with Department of Biotechnology and Pasteur Merius Serums and Vaccines, France, promited IVCOL to establish commercial production of injectible polio Vaccines in India. After RIL had acquired management control of the company, the IVCOL project was reviewed in depth. Since Reliance Life Sciences Private Limited is engaged in the field of biotechnology research, it had been decided to utilize the expertise in setting up biotechnology based production facilities at IVCOL site. The discussions are underway with Government of India for acquiring the management of IVCOL.

 

In February 2004, Government of India has disinvested another 28.945% stake through offer for sale. Out of 29%, 5% is reserved for Reliance group. The mode of sale : Sold through Offer for Sale by Government of India. The details of sale are as follows: (1) 3,59,25,020 shares were sold to QIBs @ Rs. 170/- per share.

Management's Discussion and Analysis Report

 

Overall Review

Significantly improved business performance in conducive economic conditions partially offset by the

Increased prices of raw materials.

 

In 2005-06, raw material prices for petrochemical products increased significantly led by higher crude oil and

natural gas prices. However, strong economic conditions led to a robust growth in the downstream industries

allowing petrochemical manufacturers to pass on a majority of the impact of higher raw material costs on to its consumers. As a consequence, prices of most petrochemicals products increased as compared to the previous year. Under these conditions, operating rates of ethylene crackers continued to be high globally on account of sustained demand and lack of new capacities. Margins for petrochemical products were affected by higher natural gas, naphtha and propane prices.

 

Subject is well positioned to benefit from the sustained cyclical upswing in order to deliver superior returns to its

shareholders.
