History

 

Subject is a Bhagirath Arya promoted company is engaged in the business of manufacturing different Varieties of Yarn, Chemicals, Industrial Solvents, Dyes and Dye-intermediates. JIL was originally incorporated as JBF Synthetics, a private limited company in July 1982 and it was converted into a public limited company in Jan. '86. It acquired its present name in Feb. '89.

 
 Subject has set up a unit at Magad to manufacture high-value-added dyed yarn and fancy yarn in 1985. In 1987, it set up another plant at Silvassa to manufacture texturised and twisted yarn. It has also set up a plant at Pondicherry to manufacture trichloroethylene and its derivates (cap.: 8000 tpa). It has set up an export division to export readymade garments, textiles and chemicals.

  
  Gharpure Pharmachem, a subsidiary of JIL, manufactures and deals in chemicals and pharmaceuticals. It came out with a public issue of FCDs amounting to Rs 253.900 Millions to part-finance its diversification into the manufacture of dyes and dye-intermediates, bulk drug intermediates and isobutyl benzene (estimated cost: Rs 406. 000 Millions ). 

Subject made joint venture with Pharmachemie, Colombo, to manufacture bulk drugs and formulations.It has also entered into an agreement with Borisovskij Zavod, which will supply and erect a vial filling plant for dry powder injectables on a turnkey basis. 

Subject expansion programme of increasing the POY production capacity to 27000 TPA was completed in 1997-98. During the year 2000-01, the company embarked on an backward integration process for production of polyester chips from PTA/DMT. The company has completed the first phase of this backward integration project. Since the market for SSP Chips most commonly known as Bottle Grade Chips is rapidly growing the company decided to plunge into this new venture with the exisitng infrastructure. The initial capacity installation of 10,800 TPA the project was commisioned and in the trial run it has produced 52.6 MT in 2002-03. 

During 2003-04 the company has increased its installed capacity of Polyester chips and Polyester Filament Yarn (POY) by 38800 MT and 12000 MT. With this expansion the total installed capacity of Polyester chips and Polyester Filament Yarn (POY) has increased to 118800 MT and 60000 MT. 


 The company's new grass root plant of 600 tonnes per day for the production of polyester chips at a cost of Rs.1700.000 Millions   is still under progress. This project is expected to be completed by the end of 2005.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: 

WORLD SCENARIO: 

The Global Polyester demand continues to be buoyant, fuelled by high economic growth. Polyester production was estimated at 42.3 Million Tonnes in 2006, a growth of about 2.3 Million Tonnes. The forecasted growth for the period 2007-08 is over 7%. China, in 2006, produced 16.5 Million tones, growth averaging 15%. In contrast, Indian production is expected to grow to 3.5 Million Tonnes by 2008, annual growth being to the order of 12%. China and India are forecasted to be major exporters of Polyester in time to come. 

Globally, the scenario for raw material also seems to be getting advantageous with more PTA and MEG capacities getting commissioned. That raw material prices depend on Oil prices is now proved to be a myth, with raw material prices varying more in relation to demand and supply phenomenon. 


 PTA capacity increases in the World in 2007 end 2008 are expected to be more than 7 Million tones, leading to an adequate surplus situation for the consuming industry. It is expected that PTA availability will in future be comfortable and at prices leading to a better profitability for the polyester industry. 

Similarly, in the case of MEG, the other raw material, there is a projected surplus by 2008 when new capacities to the extent of over 3.5 Million Tonnes materialize. This will further lead to easing of prices by the next year on MEG. 
 
INDIAN POLYESTER SCENARIO: 

The Synthetic Textile Industry in India is expected to grow at 12-15% per annum. Rationalizations of duties and fall in raw material prices have brought the industry into limelight. In India, Polyester has now become cheaper than cotton leading to increasing demand for this fibre. 

During the year 2006-07, synthetic yarn producers paid 16% duties on inputs, they could recover only 8% duty on output, leading to an accumulation of Cenvat credit. The Government finally yielded to the repeated demands of the industry and reduced duties for raw materials PTA and DMT to 8% and on MEG to 12%. This reduced burden of accumulation of cenvat credit to a great extent. The Government also reduced import duties on raw material in the previous year from 15% to 10% and subsequently, this year from 10% to 7.5%. Since the pricing of Raw Materials is on import parity basis, this helps in bringing down the cost of raw materials and leads to improvement in profit margins. 

In view of the above, Polyester has now become cheaper than cotton and this augurs well for the Industry. In terms of usage, Polyester has the inherent advantage of easy maintenance, better fall , and dyeing and finishing characteristics. Statistics have now shown that Polyester is now the most preferred item especially by the lower income strata of consumers. 

In India, 2006-07 saw capacity expansions getting commissioned for PTA by 2 major suppliers in the country, additions being to the order of nearly 1 .2 Million Tonnes per annum. In keeping with the international scenario, and with excess capacity, there was a fall in PTA prices. 

In comparison to cotton, non cottons have shown a consistent growth of around 10% per annum, whereas cotton growth has been only in the range of 3%. Subject to weather conditions and restrictions on arable land, the incremental requirement for the country's fibre needs will have to be made through non-cotton, dominated by Polyester. 
 
As of now , share of synthetics has gone up to 44% as compared to 26% a decade ago. World over however, the share of synthetics is 60% and it is expected that India will surely touch this proportion as well in case of synthetics. 
 
 In India there is a strong case for growth of Technical textiles. Such textiles find application in various fields such as agriculture, engineering, medicine, automobiles etc. This is a relatively unexploited area in India, and considering that world over, more than 25% consumption for Polyester is for Technical textiles. In India this segment is still in a nascent stage and there exists a huge potential for the industry to exploit this market. 
 
 With specific reference to one of the main products at JBF, Polyester Chips, even as of today there are a relatively few producers of Chips in the domestic market, selling polyester Chips. As of 2006-07, the demand estimate was nearly 440,000 Metric Tonnes, outstripping supply at 300,000 Metric Tonnes. It is expected that the demand supply gap will continue to exist even up to 2010-11, in spite of proposed expansion in Chips capacity coming in from JBF.

With reference to the other key product at JBF, Polyester partially Oriented Yarn (POY), the total capacities in India have increased from 1.3 Million Tones in 2005 to 1.8 Million Tonnes in 2006 and expected to touch 2.5 Million tones by 2010 at a CAGR of 12.81%. Exports of POY are expected to take a major leap forward following some of the conventional suppliers such as Taiwan or Korea shutting down capacities at their end due to reasons of cost competitiveness. 

Polyester chips Expansion: 

New Small Chips based capacities for POY are being set up and will also be on expansion spree over the next one or two years. Foreseeing the requirement of Chips in view of this additional growth, and as indicated earlier, the supply demand gap in case of chips is likely to continue over the next 3 to 4 years. 
 
 Looking at this scenario, the company has gone ahead with additional expansion of Polyester chips production, and it was decided to double the capacity from 216,000 MT per annum at Sarigam Gujarat, to 432, 000 MT per annum. JBF's total capacity of Chips, at the end of this expansion will be 550,000 MT per annum and will lead to consolidation and retaining its market share in the Polyester Chips market in India. Plans are also underway to make a wide penetration in the Chips export market and there has been a substantial initial success in this regard. 
 
 Polyester PET Chips and Polyester Film plant at U.A.E.: 

The erection and installation activities for the proposed plant at Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) in United Arab Emirates are in full swing. This project is a joint venture with Ras At Khaimah Investment authority, with JBF having 60% equity participation. The project envisages a total production of 324 000 MT per annum of total production, of which 216,000 MT will be Polyester PET Chips and 108,000 MT per annum will be for Polyester Film. The commercial production for PET Chips at this plant is expected to commence from the 1st half of June 2007. The Film plant is likely to be commissioned shortly. 

OPPORTUNITIES: 


* With the commencement of Production activities at RAK in UAE, the company has now established a wider network for sourcing of Raw material internationally. Considering higher volumes; of intake of Raw Material, JBF, both in India and in UAE will be able to procure better terms while sourcing for Raw Materials. 
 
 * With certain countries such as Korea and Taiwan now turning into net importers of POY, there are opportunities for JBF to take part in the enhanced export markets. 


 * In case of Chips as well, huge potential with the existing Batch lines, JBF can produce a wide array of specialized grades of Chips for new applications and for diverse export markets. 


 * The increase in stand alone plants for producing POY from Chips gives the opportunity to the company for catering to an enlarged market and company will be exploiting this by putting up additional capacity for Chips production. 
 
THREATS: 


 * Certain quantities of Chips are still being imported at Under invoiced Rates. This creates a non-level playing field in the market place.

Authorities are seized of this situation and it is expected that such imports will be controlled in future. 
 
 * Overcapacity in the POY industry can affect margins. JBF is attempting to export larger quantities in case of POY and Chips to mitigate this threat. 


 * Low priced imports of Polyester yarn from China are continuing. Industry has initiated anti-dumping measures against such imports.
