History

 

Gujarat State Fertilisers & Chemicals Limited, previously known as The Gujarat State Fertilizer Company (GSFC) was promoted by the Government of Gujarat in 1962, in the joint sector, for the manufacture of fertilisers and heavy chemicals. GSFC, along with the Gujarat government, promoted Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizer Company (GNFC), which has the largest fuel-based ammonia plant and the largest single stream urea plant in the world when commissioned. GSFC Investment and Leasing Company Limited is a subsidiary of the company.

 
In 1994-95, the company signed a MoU with the Uganda Development Corporation to set up a phosphatic fertiliser project in Uganda. It promoted Gujarat Airways along with the Gujarat government to operate flights to and from Bombay. Besides this, GSFC has signed an agreement with GSFC and Tahal Consulting Engineers, Israel, have formed a joint-venture consulting company in water management to bring relief to Gujarat's arid zones. 

 
In 1999-2000, with a view to diversify in the field of information technology, the Company signed an MOU with L & T. The Company has also incorporated a separate company in the name of GSFC Infopark Limited. 
 
 The Company is engaged in the implementation of the DAP expansion project of the capacity of 4.0 million tonnes per annum at Sikka, Jamnagar. During 2004-05 the company has also considered to incorporate necessary modification at Sikka DAP Plant to produce NPK Fertilizer at an estimated cost of Rs.30 millions.

 
During 2003-04 the company decided to set up a production facility of MEK-Oxime with a capacity of 6500 MTPY at an estimated cost of Rs.75 millions with is expected to be completed by May 2005. Further the erection of MEK-Oxime was completed and the trial production has commenced from 23rd April 2005. During 2004-05 the company has decided to go for additional production facility of Mek-Oxime plant with completion by end of May 2005.

 

 

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE:

 
The Company has recorded impressive performance during 2005-06. The ever-highest net sales, profit before tax and profit after tax were achieved in 2005-06. The net sales grew by 9% to Rs.28307.1 Millions. The EBIDTA increased by 32% from Rs. 5017.3 Millions in 2004-05 to Rs. 6614.4 Millions in 2005-06. The operating profit margin has improved from 19.25% in 2004-05 to 23.37% in 2005-06. Originally, Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) cell approved repayment schedule of debts upto 2013. However, the Company after approval from CDR Cell, has made accelerated redemption of all the outstanding debentures and bonds amounting to Rs.2360 Millions and all outstanding Secured Loans amounting to Rs. 2850 Millions. Thus total repayment of Rs.5210 Millions was made in January & February 2006. The company is now effectively debt-free. The interest cost has reduced by 23% from Rs.1058.2 Millions in 2004-05 to Rs. 816.8 Millions. The profit before tax is Rs.4369.3 Millions as against Rs. 2520.6 Millions in previous year. The profit after tax has increased by 113% from Rs.1380.7 Millions in 2004-05 to Rs. 2938.0 Millions in 2005-06. Considering excellent costing practices, the Company won the prestigious ICWAI National Award - 'Excellence in Cost Management - 2005' as Second Award in the category - Govt. Manufacturing big companies having turnover more than Rs.2500 Millions. 

 

CURRENT PERFORMANCE: 

 
The net sales of the Company increased by Rs. 243.3 Millions during the quarter April-June 2006-07 to Rs.4491.7 Millions as compared to Q1 2005-06. During Q1 2006-07, the production at Sikka unit was 0.162 Millions MTs of fertilizers, against 0.051 Millions MTs in Q1 2005-06. This will be sold in coming quarters and Company will realise its benefits accordingly. The EBIDTA stood at Rs. 1111.9 Millions as against Rs. 1504.7 Millions in Q1 2005- 06. The Profit before tax was Rs. 558.5 Millions in Q1 2006-07 as compared to Rs.910.5 Millions in Q1 2005-06. The provision for current tax was Rs. 291.5 Millions while MAT credit recognised is Rs. 138.5 Millions. The provision for FBT (Fringe Benefit Tax) was Rs. 2.0 Millions. Net deferred tax asset was created of Rs.97.1 Millions. The profit after tax was Rs. 500.6 Millions for Q1 2006-07 as against Rs. 702.1 Millions in Q1 2005-06.

 
Unlike earlier years, when the plant shutdowns were spread out over the entire year, this year all the major plant shutdowns were carried out in the first quarter. These shutdowns increased the expenditure on stores, spares, repairs & maintenance and resulted in loss of production, thereby affecting the first quarter result. However, the benefit of the well-maintained plants will be seen in the coming quarters through better production. 

 

PROJECTS UNDER CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM: 

 
The Company is committed to Energy & Environment improvement and is always looking forward to such opportunities. 

 
The Company has taken positive steps for taking up energy efficiency improvement projects under Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). These projects aim at reducing emission of green house gases. The Company has identified few projects like recovery of energy from off gases of Caprolactam plant, power saving improvements in process plants, improvements in Urea plant etc. The Company is identifying suitable agency who will assist in CDM registration and procedures. Implementation of these projects will help in contributing to global reduction of green house gases. It will also help the Company in earning Carbon Credit under CDM and saving of energy through implementation of these projects. 

 
EXPANSION & DIVERSIFICATION: 

 
The MEK-Oxime plant has been completed and the plant is operating on full throttle. The product quality achieved is of export grade. 

 
For the production of Methanol in Ammonia I plant, the feasibility study through three internationally renowned technology suppliers is completed. The project appraisal is being done through IDBI.  

 
NPK production is started at Sikka Unit by making suitable modifications at marginal cost. This was done without affecting the overall production of DAP at Sikka Unit. 

 
The Company has taken a major step in ensuring availability of Phosphoric Acid to its DAP Plant at Sikka. This plant, because of shortage of Phosphoric Acid, is able to run at a capacity utilisation of only 68% annually. The Company has decided to invest in GCT, Tunisia, one of the world's major producers of Phosphoric Acid, so as to ensure substantial supplies of additional Phosphoric Acid. With the commissioning of GCT's new plant in Tunisia in 2008, where the GSFC would have an equity stake and the consequent availability of additional Phosphoric Acid alongwith commitment to supply additional quantity of Phosphoric Acid from M/s. Foskor, South Africa and M/s. OCP, Morocco who are the world leaders in manufacturing Phosphoric Acid and also our existing suppliers, the GSFC Sikka Plant would be able to achieve full capacity utilisation thereby producing 1 million ton of DAP in Sikka. This would substantially add to the Company's profitability and also ensure supplies of fertilizer to the farmers of the country. The gradual completion of the Sardar Sarovar project would increase the fertilizer demand in Gujarat which is the most profitable market for the Company because of proximity. 

 
The Company is also contemplating the expansion of its Caprolactam manufacturing facilities. The Company is planning to put up an additional 50000 tons per annum Caprolactam facility near its existing Caprolactam plant. The technical feasibility study for the same is given to renowned technology suppliers. The study is expected to be completed within 6 months. The Company is also exploring possibilities of expansion in Melamine, Urea, Sulphuric Acid and Phosphoric Acid at its Vadodara Plant. 

 
PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES: 

 
With an objective to `Sale Productivity not the Product', the Company is presenting bouquet of products & services to the farmer. The bouquet is emitting fragrance not only of Chemical Fertilizers but also other products like Biofertilizers, Banana Tissue Culture Plants, Micronutrients, Water-soluble Fertilizers (19: 19: 19) and services like Soil & Water Testing, Agricultural Monthly Magazine `KRISHIJIVAN', Micro Irrigation System (MIS) etc. A Small-scale production facility of Vermicompost for demonstration purpose has also been established. With the objective of supplying quality seeds to the farmers, Company has coordinated with highly reputed seed producers. During the financial year 2005-06 Company has achieved ever-highest sale (434 MTs) of Biofertilizers and 2.152 Millions Banana Tissue Culture Plants. 
 
 The Company has constructed seven Satellite Net Houses on the farmers' field in Gujarat State for secondary hardening of Tissue Culture Plants to cater the requirement of the farmer and also to act as an entrepreneur promoted by the Company for sale of tissue culture plants to other farmers. The Company is trying to develop Tissue Culture plants of Papaya, Turmeric and Ginger on experimental basis and disease free Potato seed through Tissue Culture and make them available to the farmers. The Company has played its pro-active role in the State for preparing Soil Health Card, which is helping the farmer to improve the health of soil. 

 
Publication of KRISHIJIVAN, a unique monthly magazine having the highest circulation is continued to be published, which is disseminating the knowledge to the farmer in various activities of agriculture and acting as a link for transfer of technology from 'lab' to 'field'. 

 
With a view to provide `TOTAL SOLUTION' to the farming community and taking support of Information Technology too, it is planned to set up `Agri-net system'. Under this system all the depots will be linked through computer to GSFC headquarter and other websites so that Company's representative at the depot can answer farmer's queries with one click only. The farmer can even interact with experts of different subjects of agriculture through this system. 

 
In the era of Biotechnology, the Company after successful field trials, launched various Bioproducts viz. Gibberellic Acid as growth promoting agent and Protein Hydrolysats for protein nutrition, Pheromone Traps & Lures for monitoring of crop pests. It is also planned for manufacturing and marketing Azadirachtin (Neem base) for control of wide spectrum of insects, Pseudomonas for control of fungus, nematodes and bacterial disease for protecting agriculture in biological way and Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM) in collaboration with The Energy Research Institute (TERI). 

 
The Company has decided to participate in developing 'alternate energy resources' and planned for Jatropha Project on Government of Gujarat Land (Approx 1,095 hectares) at Patan District and technology collaboration for Medicinal Plants for inter cropping with Central Institute for Medicinal & Aromatic Plants (CIMAP), Lucknow. 

 
A challenging & herculean task of installing MIS on a large scale in Gujarat State has been taken up by Gujarat Green Revolution Co. Limited(GGRC), promoted by the company along-with GNFC & GAIC. Widespread & wellorganised marketing network of the company is the backbone for achieving desired milestone in the said task. 

 
During 2005-06, GGRC could do MIS in 16,152 hectares covering 58 crops that is considered to be remarkable milestone in the first year of the company. 

 
The Company has also launched marketing of eco-friendly biological fungicide under the brand name of `Sardar Ecogreen' for protecting crops from soil borne plant pathogens manufactured by GGRC. The product has been successfully commercialized with technical know-how from National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI) with an installed production capacity of 100 MTPY. 

 

Nominations from Financial Institutions: 

 
During the year the Company has prepaid outstanding loans etc. to different financial institutions and consequently IDBI, UTI and ICICI Bank Limited have withdrawn their nominees viz. Shri R S Agarwal, Shri N R Krishnan and Shri S R Vengsarker respectively. 

 
In pursuance of the provisions of Article 170 of the Articles of Association of the Company, as also the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, Dr. Avinash Kumar, IAS will retire by rotation at this Annual General Meeting and being eligible, has offered himself for re-appointment. 

 

Exports: 
 
This year, Company registered ever highest export of Rs. 2051.1 Millions in terms of value. Caprolactam exports during the year have registered growth compared to last year in terms of quantity (from 15645 MTs in 2004-05 to 19770 MTs in 2005-06) and in value, (from Rs. 1412.0 Millions in 2004-05 to Rs. 1727.0 Millions in 2005-06) while in MEK-OXIME, there was a quantum jump in volume (from 1139 MTs in 2004-05 to 2348 MTs in 2005-06) and in value, (from Rs. 111.5 Millions in 2004-05 to Rs. 221.3 Millions in 2005-06) achieving ever highest export. 

 
Outlook: 
 
The greater emphasis on agriculture sector in the union budget & the increased availability of the credit to the farming community may give boost to fertilizer demand. The budgetary provision for fertilizer subsidies for the financial year 2006-07 had been fixed at Rs.17252 crores though the actual amount that the government owes to the fertilizer industry is much more if the past years' arrears are taken into account. The input cost has gone up heavily due to the rise in global oil prices. This will block lot of funds of manufacturers and would have the impact on their working capital. 

 
The south - west monsoon has started little early than it's schedule. Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) `s operational long range forecast for the 2006 south west monsoon season is that the rainfall for the country as a whole is likely to be 93% of the long period average with a model error of 5%. Consumption of fertilizers and the other agri inputs would depend on the behavior of monsoon.

AS PER WEBSITE

HISTORY

Translating GSFC's philosophy is its vast network of plants that make its possible. This infrastructure took its first step in 1967 with the setting up of 6 plants  with an initial investment of Rs. 400 Millions. These six nitrogenous and phosphatic fertilizer plants started production of Ammonia, Urea, Ammonia Sulphate (AS), Diammonium Phosphate(DAP), Sulphuric Acid and Phosphoric Acid. The expansion of Ammonia and Urea production began with Phase II  in 1969 and an investment of Rs. 230 Millions was made to meet the increasing demand for Nitrogenous fertilizers. Phase III began in 1974 when diversification of products occurred. Plants to manufacture caprolactam, Melamine, Nylon-6, Oleum- SO2 and OXO-Synthesis Gas unit and Purge Gas Recovery Unit were set up. With Phase III, GSFC became India's first & only Melamine Producer. This provided the boost for further diversification to Nylons/ Fibers/ Melamine/MEK-Oxime and industrial gases like Argon Gas & Oxo Synthesis Gas. In 1989 GSFC began further expansion and diversification (Phase IV) which saw the company increasing its self-reliance while also conserving energy needs. Three  Co-generation units using LSHS and Natural Gas  were set up. Also further expansion of Ammonia and Caprolactam production was initiated. Diversification into Fibers ,Nylons, and acrylic were completed  and a DAP  plant was also set up.

This extensive diversification and expansion drive has been fuelled by GSFC's compelling need to ensure full utilization of available resources  while also maintaining its profitability and leadership status. Today, GSFC is proud to be a multi-location, multi-plant, multi-services & multi-millions company, providing much more than just fertilizers.

Since its inception GSFC  has constantly striven to re-define  its role in a dynamic environment. In the process  earning a commendable reputation  as an organisation  that not only provides  just products but also the knowledge  to use  them wisely.

But this performance would not be possible without a strong technical capability. And in creating  that firm bedrock of technological superiority GSFC has once again created an enviable track record.
