LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History

 

Promoted in 1907 by the late G Kuppuswamy Naidu, Lakshmi Mills Company (LMC) was incorporated as a public limited company in 1910. The flagship of the Coimbatore-based Lakshmi group, its associate companies are Lakshmi Machine Works, Lakshmi Synthetic Machinery Manufacturers and Lakshmi Auto Looms.


 
 LMC is a composite mill manufacturing a range of cotton, viscose, blended yarn and a variety of grey and processed cloth. The company has four manufacturing units located at Coimbatore, Singanallur, Kovilpatti and Palladam, all in Tamilnadu. 

 
 The company's cloth processing is done by its subsidiary, United Bleachers. LMC exports cotton yarn and grey cloth to the UK, Germany, Italy, Bangladesh and Japan. In 1977, Coimbatore Cotton Mills was amalgamated with the company. LMC has yarn processing facilities at Coimbatore which includes facilities for mercerising and bleaching.  
 
 The company was getting Wind Power generated of M/s Das Lagerway Wind Turbines Limited., under a contract since 1997. Some problem has creeped in between the owners of the wind power farm M/s Das Lagerway & M/s Pathega Forgings & Autoparts during 2000-01, the company will not get wind power any more. Company has also increased the installed capacity of Ring Spindles by 64 Nos. 

 
 In 2000-01, there was an increase in production of fabrics on account of full commissioning for additional looms. And the company is also drafted a modernisation scheme at the cost of Rs.390.000 Millions and sent it to IDBI for it's sanction.

 

OPERATIONS 
 
 The Company is operating around 0.155 Millions Ring Spindles in three locations. As a part of re-structuring weaving activities and scrapping uneconomical looms, the Company is now operating 245 looms under one roof consisting of 29 Shuttle less looms and 216 normal Shuttle looms. 

 
 During the year, the Company achieved a Gross Sales of Rs.1555.000 Millions including Excise Duty and Sales Tax and Net Sales of Rs.1506.400 Millions. There was marginal improvement in the Net Sales over last year. The increase was around Rs.40.000 Millions. After meeting all expenses, the Company could post a profit of Rs.74.109 Millions before taxation and a Net profit of Rs.64.248 Millions after taxation. Due to the improved operations they expect that the financial performance of the Company would improve during the year. 

 
 CURRENT INDUSTRIAL TREND 

 
 Performance of the Company in the Spinning front continues to be satisfactory. Fabric front continues to be under price pressure and that the availability of imported fabrics at relatively cheaper price is affecting the market to a great extent. 

 
 Weaving Sector in the Indian Textile Industry continues to struggle. Unless the cost of manufacture of the fabric is brought down, it is going to be a Herculean task to withstand the competition from the imported 'goods. 
 
 FUTURE PROSPECTS 

 
 The Company has obtained the sanction from the banks for modernizing the machineries in Palladam Unit to the extent of 42000 spindles at a cost of Rs.600.000 Millions. 

 
 The machines have started arriving and the first phase of 20000 spindles will be commissioned during the current financial year. The Company will be implementing the second phase of modernization of 22000 spindles in 2007-08. 
 
 The Company is taking up the marketing of Micro Modal Garments under the Brand Name `TYCHE LIFE' in the current year. The targeted audience is the High End Consumers in the age group of 14 to 30. 


 The Company expects to achieve a turnover of around Rs.100.000 Millions in the current year and Rs.250.000 Millions from the next year onwards. 

 
 OUTLOOK 
 
 The Indian Textile Industry is looking forward to meet the challenges of Global Trade. The Industry has to go a long way to meet the challenges and the Government should continue to extend the financial assistance announced for the Textile Industry. 

 
 The Modernisation Programme under TUF should be continued at least for the next 3 years and that the weaving and processing activities should be cost effective under Indian conditions. 

 
 Government's comprehensive policies are needed to make the Indian Textile Industry globally competitive

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT 

 
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS 

 
 The removal of quota system in the Global Trade has resulted in the Indian exports going up during the year 2006 vis-a-vis 2005. 

 
 Opportunities for growth in this Sector are enormous in view of free access to World Trade. Large capacities are being built up by big players to become cost effective and competitive in the Global Trade. The Indian Textile Industry is bound to improve its share in the Global Trade in the years ahead provided it is cost competitive and quality oriented with right deliveries. 

 
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

 
 Quality, Price and Delivery are the determinant factors in the Global Trade. However, it is noticed that in view of the high cost of manufacture in the Indian conditions, fabrics are being imported at very competitive prices for export purposes. Generally, the fabrics produced in India are not at all cost effective and also lacking in quality aspects. There is severe threat to the manufacture of woven fabrics in India from imported fabrics. To that, the cost of manufacturing activities in the Indian segment will suffer. This can be overcome only if the cost of manufacture of Indian products is made competitive. Two factors play a dominant role viz. Power cost and Labour Productivity. Unless labour productivity is increased alongwith reduction in power cost, Indian fabric manufacturers will continue to suffer for want of market on account of high cost. 

 
SEGMENT -WISE OR PRODUCT -WISE PERFORMANCE

 
 As the operations of the Company - Spinning and Weaving are under a single broad segment (Textile Intermediary Products), no further analysis is needed. 

 
 OUTLOOK: 

 
 The performance of the Company improved during the year 2005-06 in all areas. Levels of utilisation have improved both in Spinning and Weaving. The Company is operating around 0.155 Millions Ring Spindles in the 3 Units and 245 looms in Coimbatore Unit. 

 
 Modernisation programmes to the extent of Rs.600.000 Millions have been got sanctioned for modernizing around 42000 spindles in Palladam Unit. The first phase of modernization involving 20000 spindles will be completed before 31.3.07. The Unit will be in a position to export yarn meeting the International Standards. The delay in implementing the first phase was due to delay in the delivery of machines. The Unit will also take up the modernization of the balance 22000 spindles in 2007-08 and that these spindles will also become fully operational before the end of the Financial Year 2007-08. 

 
 The Company has made satisfactory progress in the marketing of its Micro Modal / Micro Modal-Cotton / Micro Tencel yarns. During the year, its turnover in the Micro Modal products has crossed over Rs.63.000 Millions. 
 
 The Company has also taken up the marketing of knitted garments produced out of Micro Modal / Cotton yarn under the Brand Name 'TYCHE LIFE'. The Company proposes to manufacture and market knitted garments targetting high end consumers. The Company proposes to market these products through Net Work of Distributors and Retailers. The products are likely to hit the market by the end of August 2006. The Company is targeting a turnover of Rs.100.000 Millions in 2006-07 and that from 2007-08, it hopes to achieve a turnover of Rs.250.000 Millions per annum in this operation.

  
 The Company is operating only around 245 looms. However, the Loom Shed operations continues to be causing concern. As mentioned elsewhere, fabric production in composite Mills is becoming highly uneconomical. The Company is closely monitoring the manufacturing activities of the Loom Shed. 


 The cotton crop during the year 2005-06 has been satisfactory. But the prices for Long Staple Cotton have gone up sky-high and this has caused considerable inroad into the profitability of the Company. 

 

The company’s fixed assets of important value include land, buildings, machinery, electric machinery, office equipments, vehicles, canteen equipments and computer equipments.

 

The company is in trade terms with
