History

 

The Ruby Mills (TRML) was incorporated in 1917 and is been engaged in the business of textiles. The company's manufacturing units are located at Khalapur (Raigad district) and in Bombay. Ruby Impex is the wholly owned subsidiary of the company. 

 
The operational performance of the company in 1994-95 was adversely affected on account of the steep increase in the prices of polyester staple fibre (PSF) (which increased by 22%), viscose staple fibre (VSF) (by 41%) and cotton (by 60%). The production was adversely affected for 5 months due to the acute shortage of VSF. As a modernisation plan, the company purchased 30 Sulzer looms and replaced its 50 Cimmco autolooms and 36 wider Picanol looms. 

 
In order to achieve deeper market penetration, TRML shifted from exclusively wholesale marketing to direct marketing by establishing a nationwide network of distributors and agents. During 1994-95, the government permitted the import of fabrics which adversely affected the demand for the company's products.  

 
In order to retain the company's competitive advantage, a modernisation programme to improve productivity and quality, has been undertaken under the Textile Upgradation Fund Scheme.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

The turnover of the Company during the year is Rs 1031.574 Millions as against Rs.9233.413 Millions -in the previous year. The operating profit before Depreciation and Taxation is Rs.2439.053 Millions - as against Rs.2184.381 Millions - in the previous year. The net profit after depreciation, taxation is Rs.877.948 Millions - as against Rs. 1047.687 Millions -in the previous year.

 

The Directors are pleased to recommend the Dividend out of the available surplus, at the rate of 30% on Paid Up equity share capital of Rs.418.000 Millions - i.e.@Rs.37- per share on 41,80,000 equity Shares of Rs. 107- each aggregating to Rs. 125.400 Millions - as against 25% i.e. Rs.104.500 Millions - in the previous year.

 

Textile Industry is facing fierce competition which is fuelled with the appreciation of the Rupee. On the one hand exports have become uncompetitive thereby leading to glut in the local market and on the other hand cheaper import of fabric. The Company has been able to create its own niche and brand identity within the trade circle enabling it overcome this situation.

 

As required under Maharashtra Sales Tax Act Company has appointed a VAT Auditor to conduct the VAT Audit.

 

The Company's Building, Machineries, Stores and Stocks in trade etc. are fully covered against all insurance risks.

 

The Company is not accepting deposits from the public or shareholders.

 

 

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Overall Review:

The operating profitability of the Company has improved during the year on account of controlling of operational cost and overheads, better sales realization and increase in turnover and reduction in interest cost. Inspite of rising cost of interest, power, fuel, raw material, wages, and increased borrowings the Company's operating profit has improved due to better operational control. The present liquidity crunch faced by Banks and continuous rise in interest cost shall affect their future cost of borrowings. On the manufacturing front they are continuing their thrust on cost controls and improved realizations.

 

Business Segment - Cotton, Synthetics Yarn and Fabrics

 

Industry Structure and Development:

 

Towards the end of the last financial year on account of appreciation of Rupee, the exports fell and cheaper imports increased leading to lot of over-supply in the local market. This became more fierce in the first three months of this financial year. The Central Government has set a huge target for growth of textile production, exports, employment, for which various proposals for the Textile Industry have been announced. Further for expansion, modernisation and upgradation the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) has been extended for further 5 years. In view of these welcome measures, the industry is making significant efforts to upgrade technology, undertake expansion and improve competitiveness in order to face the new challenges. Textile companies are now aiming to create larger capacities across the value chain. The aggressive capacity expansion plans of the industry demonstrate its commitment to take advantage of the emerging global growth opportunities.

 

Opportunities and Threats :

 

Due to availability of indigenous raw material like cotton, manmade fibres, trained labour and conducive climate for investments into textiles would help the Indian manufacturers to withstand competition in the developed world. However, the threat of cheaper imports continues due to appreciation of Rupee. This would definitely bring pressure on margins of textile mills. In addition to the above, any reduction in Interest Subsidy under the TUF scheme on new Loans sanctioned after March 2007 will add to the burden.

 

Review and Analysis :

 

The cost of inputs increased substantially due to Petrochemical prices, Power, Raw Material, Wages. The export market is less remunerative due to lower realisation because of appreciation of Rupee. The Spinning and Weaving production at Dhamni are stabilised and they are able to control the operating cost and are further trying to improve the same. The Company is setting up a completely new Processing Project with State-of the Art equipment to reduce operating costs, control rejects and improve quality and delivery time to their customers. In order to increase their share in the domestic market and to provide newer varieties of fabric to meet the consumer demand, their Research and Development Department continues to remain actively engaged in development of new shades, finishes and varieties in an economical and environmentally sustainable manner. Efforts are continuously being made for value addition to enable the customer to have accessibility to a wide range of exclusive varieties. Additionally, several fabric blends are being developed with unique finishing processes and chemicals to cater to the ever changing consumer demand.

 

Outlook:

 

Although the outlook for the textile industry is coupled with uncertainty, they are hopeful that with their thrust on improving domestic market and change in production pattern, it should be possible to meet the challenges facing the industry successfully. With the operations of the Spinning and Weaving Plant at Dhamni unit stabilised and the New Processing Plant going on stream it shall enhance the company's viability to withstand competition. The Real Estate segment shall also see a growth.

 

Risks and Concerns :

 

Availability of quality cotton throughout the year at reasonable prices has always been a cause of concern due to crop uncertainty but they can only overcome the same by procuring maximum amount of cotton during 3 months of peak season blocking huge capital. All manmade and synthetic fibre prices have started going up due to increase in Petrochemical prices and other cost. Due to appreciation of Rupee, Industry is also facing the risk of import of cheaper textiles into the country. The power situation in the State of Maharashtra is a cause of concern as power supply is short due to supply demand mismatch, prices are higher, and the quality of power is poor. They have to also address the issue of high labour cost and non-availability of skilled and unskilled labour in the area of operation. They have to make investments in equipment with high automation requiring less labour force.

 

Company's financial performance and analysis :-

 

The turnover of the Company during the year is Rs. 1031.574 Millions as against Rs.923.341 Millions during the previous year. The profit before depreciation and tax is Rs. 243.905 Millions as against Rs. 218.438 Millions in the previous year. The net profit after providing depreciation and taxation is Rs. 88.315 Millions as against Rs. 100.221 Millions in the previous year. During the year the borrowing cost has been controlled inspite of increase in Term Loans and hikes in interest rates which was mainly due to effective negotiations with Banks and Institutions.
