Consistent supply of crucial raw material - Natural Gas - is assured through Deepak's own gas pipeline direct from Bombay High gas fields.

 
Smartchem Technologies Ltd and Deepak Nitrochem Pty Ltd, Australia are the subsidiaries of the company. 
 
The company diversified into the manufacture of ammonium nitro-phosphate (ANP) fertiliser (cap. : 23 Millions  tpa) and integrated into the manufacture of concentrated nitric acid (33,000 tpa), ammonium nitrate (36,000 tpa) and dilute nitric acid (200,000 tpa). It also set up a 100,000-tpa methanol project which was part financed through a public issue of convertible debentures in Jan.'89. DFL has a technical collaboration with Fish International Engineers, US and Stamicarbon, the Netherlands. The Programme for retrofit Ammonia Plant was completed by end March, 2000. 

 
 Keeping in mind the constraint of gas supply, the company had invested in a port-based storage facility for imported ammonia. The Company is also exploring the possibility of increasing the number of sources of Ammonia including the option of setting up a gas-based Ammonia plant abroad and also studying oppportunities for broad-basing industrial chemical products through forward integration. The company has implemented the debottlenecking of Ammonia Plant but the additional gas supply was never received. 
 
 The expansion of NP fertilizer plant to 3,00,000 tons p.a and LDAN plant to 1,00,000 tons p.a was taken up in 2001-02. The engineering work for AN Melt capacity was completed and the above the plants were commissioned during 2002-03 there by enhancing the capacity by 90,000 tpa. Technology for the new plant has been supplied by Grande Praoisse,France.


 
 The company has increased the installed capacity of CNA by 23100 MT during 2004-05 and with this expansion the total installed capacity of CNA has increased to 79200 MT.

The Agri Business :

 

The government policies in the farm and fertiliser sector are expected to continue. Through some of these may be argued to have a sub-optimising impact on economics and efficiencies, they are a reality in the Indian political economy.

 

Given the scenario, the company is consciously focusing on leveraging its strengths in the fertilisers sector. Capitalising on its strong techno-commercial skills, the company is moving away from merely manufacturing and selling fertiliser into an integrated nutrient management mode, with the farmer-customers productivity and profitability enhancement as its focus. The aim is to provide a complete basket of agri-market solutions and techno-commercial services to ensure higher yields and better farm economics.

 

With the stress on offering integrates or total nutrients management, the company as a pilot project has set up two centres in Maharashra that offer more than just fertilisers. The centres have been branded “Mahadhan Saarrthie”. Each “Mahadhan Saarrthie” centre aims to provide total agri-services and solutions through soil, water and petiole testing facilities and crop nutritional management, providing the farmer marketing linkage for his farm produce. The initial crops selected for this purpose are potato, tomato and grapes.

 

The company has a world – class marketing network, and brands- Mahadhan and Bhoodhan – that are ranked very high in terms of brand recognition in their respective markets. With this base, the company is now leveraging markets. With this base, the company is now leveraging its strengths  in marketing, and outsourcing soluble fertilisers, micronutrients and secondary nutrients that it does not currently manufacture. Brand extensions with potash, sulphur, and phosphorous have been introduced in the last few years with good success.

 

The Chemicals Business :

 

Industrial Chemicals

The company is among the leaders in terms of reputation, quality and marketshare in its markets. Its current basket of chemicals. Viz. methanol, various grades of nitric acid, hydrogen and carbon dioxide cater to the bulk markets in pharmaceuticals, agri-chemicals, defence, paints, and other markets.

 

The future will increasingly demand product customisation, bundled with techno-commercial services to drive marketshare, margins and profitability upwards. The company will leverage its strong technology and marketing strengths to create and drive customer-value and profitability.

 

The first round of diversification saw the company take up the Iso Propyl Alcohol project in India, more details on which are available later in this report.

 

The company is now doing preliminary work to identify products and markets in the speciality / high performance chemicals segment for the future.

 

In the existing range of products, the company is already putting in place the necessary frame work to achieve greater levels of competitive advantage by offering customised grades, customer-specific packaging and value-added technical service across key product categories.

CURRENT AND FUTURE PROJECTS

 

The Iso-Propyl Aicdhol

The commissioning of Iso Propyl Alcohol (IPA) plant was delayed due to the unprecedented floods. The plant is expected to go on stream in the first half of 2006-07. the company is well poised to leverage its marketing skills and has already received an excellent response from domestic and international customers for the proposed marketing of its IPA. The international price of IPA is currently ruling quite firm.

 

Retailing / Value Added Real Estate

The construction of the Ishanya, the Design Centre and Specialty Mall for interiors and exteriors is progressing in full swing. Ishanya is carefully positioned in the retailing sector and is expected to open to customers around mid-year 07. during the year under review, Ishanya has already leased out over 50% of its  leasable space to Indian and international brands in the interiors and exteriors market. As on the date of this report, this figure has crossed the 60% mark. Ishanya’s campus-like, design, spread over 10 acres will, besides having retail spaces, offer exhibition halls an amphitheatre, a design studio, a training and development center, art galleries, business center, ample parking etc. A restaurant and food courts will also be available.

 

Ammonium Nitrate

The land for the new 300000 MTPA Ammonium Nitrate plant at Paradip. Orissa, has been allotted and site preparation work will begin shortly. Key plant, equipment and technology selection for ammonium Nitrate plant has been done and basic/ detailed engineering contracts have been awarded. The project is due for completion in a two-year fast –track timeframe.

The commissioning of the Automatic Bagging Plant in NP and Ammonium Nitrate was completed. The facility of bagging one MT bag for Ammonium Nitrate has also been successfully commissioned. The installation and commissioning of the 9MW Captive Cogen Plant was completed during the year under review. This will provide reliable quality power and steam at a reasonable cost. Its full advantages will be evident once LNG is available.

 

The company has taken concrete steps during the year to implement the Speciality Design Centre and Mall. The civil construction contract has already been awarded. Site construction work has commenced and the target date for civil completion is early 2006. The marketing of space at the Mall has already commenced and encouraging responses have been received from all target segments both in India and globally.

 

Deepak Fertilisers And Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd. topline grows 18 % in 2005-06

Company announces dividend of 30 % Net Sales for 2005-06 (FY06) at Rs. 5628.6 millions, riding on strong growth in price realisations across key products Net Profit at Rs. 797.7 millions EPS stays steady at Rs. 9.04 IPA project ready for commissioning in the first quarter of 2006-07 May 18, 2006: Deepak Fertilisers And Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd. (DFPCL) showed strong 18 % growth in its Net Sales to Rs. 5628.6 millions for the year ended 2005-06 (FY06) from Rs. 4781.7 millions in 2004-05 (FY05). The Company announced a dividend of 30 % for the year. The sales growth came on back of higher sales volumes in fertilisers and industrial chemicals. The total fertiliser sales volumes for FY 06 increased to 2,65,200 from 1,86,700 MT in FY05, while Industrial Chemicals grew to 2,50,400 MT in FY06 from 2,39,700 MT in FY05. DFPCL’s strategy of focusing on total nutrients management in order to provide the farmer with soil and plant specific needs calls for outsourcing soluble fertilisers, micronutrients and secondary nutrients that it does not currently manufacture. This focus has resulted in a higher volume of outsourced fertilisers, which for the year under review was up by 84 % in FY06 over FY05. In the Industrial Chemicals segment, sales volumes of outsourced products rose by 57 % in FY06 against FY05 on account of a lower production necessitated by the flash floods in Western Maharastra toward the end of July 2005. The outsourcing was necessary in order to maintain marketshare and customer loyalty.

Sales volumes for Ammonium Nitrate stood at 1,02,100 MT during the year under review comparable to the previous financial year (FY05). The lower production due to the flash floods in end-July 2005 was compensated by outsourcing 4,000 MT of Ammonium Nitrate.

 

The Company’s strong brand and marketing strengths are enabling it gain higher price realizations across its key products, especially Ammonium Nitrate and Nitric Acid. The GAIL pipeline from Dahej to Uran is expected to be completed around February 2007. This will provide the Company’s Taloja plant with sufficient quantities of LNG and ensure higher capacity utilisation and contribution. Profit Before Tax stood at Rs. 1117.0 millions in FY06 against Rs. 1124.6 millions in FY05. Net Profit for the year FY06 stood at Rs. 797.7 millions against Rs. 797.5 millions in FY05. Earnings Per Share was steady at Rs. 9.04 in FY06, the same level as FY05. Sales for the fourth quarter of FY06 stood at Rs. 1701.6 millions up from Rs 1447.4 millions for the corresponding quarter in the previous financial year. Net Profits for the period QIV 2005- 06 stood at Rs 268.3 millions against Rs. 276.9 millions for the corresponding period in the previous financial year (2004-05). Profits did not move in line with sales largely due to the rise in outsourced products, which were necessitated by lower production and the need to maintain marketshare and customer loyalty.

 

The Company is confident of its demonstrated ability to grow marketshare, manage its production costs efficiently and gradually realise price hikes, all of which should stand it in good stead in the future.

DFPCL has made a strong foray into agri-services, offering integrated or total nutrients management to the farmer. The Company has set up two centres in Maharashtra that offer more than just fertilisers. The centres have been branded “Mahadhan Saarrthie”. Each “Mahadhan Saarthie” centre aims to provide total agri-services and solutions through soil, water, plant testing facilities and crop nutritional management, utilising DFPCL’s range of plant nutrient products and, ultimately, providing the farmer marketing linkage for his farm produce with product buy back and retailing. The crops selected for this purpose are potato, tomato and grapes. Two pilot projects have been undertaken so far and over 1,000 farmers in Maharashtra and 3,000 acres of land brought under the “Mahadhan Saarrthie” umbrella.

This represents a major strategic thrust for DFPCL. The Company’s Mahadhan and Bhoodhan brands are amongst the leaders in terms of brand recognition within their geographical and customer markets. With this base, DFPCL is now leveraging its strengths in marketing, and brand extensions with enhanced potash, sulphur, and phosphorous have been introduced in the last few years with good success.

The Company’s Iso-Propyl Alcohol project is slated to go online in the first quarter of 2006- 07 and current IPA prices show a firm trend. Ishanya, India’s first Design Centre and Mall, had leased out over 60 percent of its 5,50,000 sq. feet leasable area as of date. DFPCL’s 300,000 MT Ammonium Nitrate project at Paradip in Orissa is going ahead as planned. The Nitric Acid plant for the project has arrived at the plant site and is ready for erection. The detailed engineering design contract and key technology supply contracts have been signed.
