Though the company was incorporated in the year 1985, commercial activities started during the year 1998-99 only. The company had incurred some losses during the first year of its production. The management of the company consists of highly qualified and respectable personnel. Their trade relations are fair. Payments are usually correct and as per commitments. In view of strong promoters, the company can be considered normal for business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions. The company can be regarded as a promising business partner in a long-run. Efforts are continued for latest Annual Reports and if available we shall scan and lend it to you. |

PRESS CLIPPINGS:-
AHMEDABAD: The
According to market sources, the government, which is in conflicts with its JV
partner, the Chatterjee Group, over shareholding pattern has started looking at
other big petrochemicals companies, including Reliance group companies.
Sources said Reliance is toying over the idea of acquiring

According to sources, in HPL,
KOLKATA: The shareholding
tussle over Haldia Petrochemcials has just got murkier. The company's single
largest stakeholder, Purnendu Chatterjee, has ruled out any out-of-court
settlement with the
The Chatterjee Group (TCG) chairman has also rejected the possibility of any
meeting with CM Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee to arrive at a solution to the vexed
problem. "The case is sub judice.
Let the Company Law Board now decide the fate of the HPL dispute," Chatterjee
said. "I am in no way responsible for whatever has happened with regard to
Haldia Petrochemicals, and have no desire at all to meet the CM," he said.
The principal secretary to the CM, Dipankar Mukherjee, said Chatterjee's
decision was entirely his own. "They can't speak on his behalf. However,
they don't think that their relations have soured," Mukherjee pointed out.
The CLB has already completed its hearings on the HPL issue and an order is
expected soon. In the past, CLB chairman
Chatterjee's spat with the state government arose over the handing over of a
7.5% equity stake in HPL to Indian Oil Corporation, which he felt would reduce
him to a minority holding in Haldia Petrochem.
He alleged that he was never kept in the loop about the IOC development, a
charge denied by the Bhattacharjee government. Chatterjee has even demanded the
resignation of HPL chairman Tarun Das for not keeping him abreast about the
deal with IOC.
KOLKATA: The
"They have always suggested such a way out (out-of-court settlement). It
is now up to them to decide what to do," state commerce and industries
minister Nirupam Sen told TOI, while pointing out that the state was still
weighing options to contest the Company Law Board (CLB) verdict on HPL in high
court. The minister also said the state has not received any communication from
TCG following the CLB verdict that it was willing to talk with the government.
Last week, a TCG spokesman said the group was keen to work amicably with the
state.
While contacted for a response to Sen's latest comments, the TCG spokesman
declined to comment on whether a formal approach has been made
KOLKATA: The
Sources close to Chatterjee said the group would take steps to ensure that its
interests were protected. However, they reiterated that TCG was still willing
to work in coordination with government, as was indicated by Chatterjee in his
recent letter to CM Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee.
Sen's immediate reaction to CLB verdict, which was delivered on January 31, was
that it was "not acceptable". However, later, he said CLB order had
not gone completely against the state. He had said that the state was ready to
talk to Chatterjee to ensure that the spat between shareholders did not harm
HPL's interests.
The state government had been weighing the option of moving court ever since
the CLB directed the state to exit from HPL by selling its stake in the company
to The Chatterjee Group (TCG). CLB chairman
The CLB had directed both the state and TCG to appear before it on
February 20 to suggest a mutually-acceptable valuer for the 520 million HPL
shares. The CLB had said the price payable for the 520 million shares should be
the fair price determined by the valuer appointed by it, or Rs 28.80, whichever
was higher. Sources said it was still unclear whether the state would be
present at CLB forum on February 20 to suggest a valuer in the backdrop of its
decision to move the court.
KOLKATA: The Calcutta High
Court, in an interim order on Friday, stayed the transfer of all shares of
Haldia Petrochemicals Limited (HPL).
Justice Jayanta Biswas was hearing a petition filed by the
The high court stay will be effective till further orders or till the matter is
finally disposed of. The next date of hearing has been fixed on February 28.
On January 31, the CLB had confirmed the transfer of 155 million shares by
WBIDC at Rs 10 per share to Chatterjee Petrochem (
CLB had also directed WBIDC and the
These orders were challenged by the state government and WBIDC before the high
court. On Friday, the court started hearing the issue of transfer of 155
million shares by WBIDC. The matter concerning transfer of the 520 million
shares will come up for hearing later.
The CLB had directed both the state and The Chatterjee Group (TCG) to appear
before it on February 20 to suggest a mutually-acceptable valuer for the 520
million HPL shares.
The CLB had said that the price payable for the 520 million shares should be
the fair price determined by the valuer appointed by it, or Rs 28.80, whichever
was higher.
The CLB had said the consideration for 520 million shares should be paid within
45 days of the date of valuation report, or 60 days if the state did not feel
the need for valuation.
CLB chairman
Balasubramanian had said that if TCG failed to pay the amount for 520 million
shares, the state government could forfeit the bank guarantee of Rs 500.000
millions and encash it. The government would purchase the shares at Rs 28.80 or
as fixed by the valuer.
KOLKATA: The Chatterjee
Group (TCG) has questioned the locus standi of the
TCG also filed four cross appeals against the Company Law Board (CLB) order of
January 31, upholding the allotment of 150 million shares to IOC.
"The CLB order will not affect the state government in any way as the
latter has no stake in HPL," advocate Sudipto Sarkar submitted on behalf
of TCG.
In its January 31 order, CLB had also confirmed the transfer of 155 million
shares by the West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation (WBIDC) at Rs 10
per share to Chatterjee Petrochem (
CLB had also directed WBIDC and the state government to transfer 520 million
shares held by them to the four companies. These orders were challenged by the
state government and WBIDC before the high court.
On February 16, Justice Jayanta Biswas admitted the appeals and in an interim
order, stayed transfer of all shares of HPL.
The court then fixed February 28 as hearing date of appeal against transfer of
the 155 million shares by WBIDC. The matter concerning transfer of the 520
million shares will come up later.
After TCG submitted that it had filed four cross appeals, advocate P C Sen for
the government sought adjournment.
KOLKATA: Haldia
Petrochemicals Limited (HPL) is likely to invest Rs 30000.000 millions over a
period of more than three years for getting into new product category.
A majority of the fund will come from the internal cash flow of the outfit. HPL
chairman Tarun Das said this after the company board meeting.
Das said the company will maintain the performance even in the current
financial year. "The bad days are over. Now it is a gold mine,"he
added. Das informed that there will be a shutdown at the plant for two months
in early 2008.
KOLKATA: The
On Friday, the Calcutta High Court set aside the January 31 order of the
Company Law Board (CLB) which had asked the state government to exit HPL by
selling its stake in the company to The Chatterjee Group (TCG).
However, Justice Jayanta Biswas, while passing his order, upheld the CLB's
order pertaining to the allotment of HPL shares to Indian Oil Corporation
(IOC).
The CLB too had upheld the allotment to IOC.
Justice Biswas also refused a prayer by TCG's lawyers to stay operation of his order
for two weeks to allow the Purnendu Chatterjee-led group to appeal against it
before a higher bench. An appeal against Justice Biswas' order can now be made
only in the Supreme Court. "They have no comments to make at this stage as
they are awaiting a copy of the order," a TCG spokesman said, when asked
for his reaction to the High Court order.
State commerce and industries minister Nirupam Sen said: "It is a happy
occasion for us. They have won and are free now." Chief minister Buddhadeb
Bhattacharjee said he had heard about the order but did not have the details.
The legal spat between TCG and the state government arose over the transfer of
10% of HPL's equity to IOC for Rs 1500.000 millions, with TCG approaching the
CLB for justice in August 2005.

KOLKATA, Jan. 2
HALDIA Petrochemicals Limited (HPL) may assign (legal transfer of a right) to some banks the agreement that it had signed with Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) on December 31, 2002, to raise upfront some funds for the cash-strapped company. With these agreements in place, company officials felt upbeat about further participation by the gas major in the finances of SUBJECT.
"The inking of these documents is a significant first step in forging a strong alliance between these two large organisations,'' sources said. Available information suggests that HPL expected to raise at least Rs 3000.000 Millions by securitising the commercial agreements sealed with GAIL.
Several banks are expected to be involved in this process, sources said, adding that the memorandum of understanding on a proposed strategic alliance between the two corporates went "well beyond commercial arrangements paving the way for GAIL's participation in SUBJECT's equity".
While a press release issued by SUBJECT on the agreements said that GAIL has already communicated "an expression of interest'' on the equity issue sometime ago, sources said that various routes were being explored for pumping in around Rs 2000.000 Millions . They however refused to divulge details in this regard.
It may be mentioned here that in the `comfort letter' given by SUBJECT's lead lender - IDBI - in September 2002 on the proposed financial recast, the beleaguered petrochemical company was told to `arrange' at least Rs 5000.000 Millions of funds by November 30, 2002. Sources felt that by concluding the commercial arrangements (which were hanging fire for quite sometime), SUBJECT has been able to make some progress.
Sources said that SUBJECT, which had missed quite a few of its debt servicing schedules since the beginning of 2002, paid IDBI Rs 170.000 Millions in December. This was done on the strength of SUBJECT's December performance.
"SUBJECT has had the highest-ever earnings before depreciation, interest and taxation (EBDIT) during this month,'' Mr A. Bose, the company secretary said.
A company release said that SUBJECT has clocked 102 per cent capacity utilisation with the highest ever polymer production of 62,000 tonnes. Turnover stood at Rs 3100.000 Millions in December with EBDIT standing at about Rs 420.000 Millions.
"With the expected upturn in world petrochem business, SUBJECT was hopeful of emerging as a large and profitable petrochemical company in the not too distant a future,'' the release said.
Ratan
Tata steps down from Haldia board Corporate Bureau
17 September 2002
Kolkata: Tata Sons chairman Ratan Tata and
Shyamal Gupta, the other Tata group representative on the board of Haldia
Petrochemicals Limited (HPL), have stepped down from the HPL board.
Confirming this during a brief interaction with the
media at the state secretariat here, Tata said this was done recently. Tata and
Gupta of Tata International were the two group representatives on the HPL board
— a company in which the Tatas have a 14-per cent holding.
The Tata group chief, who along with HPL chairman
Tarun Das, had an hour-long session with West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb
Bhattacharjee, said HPL was not discussed during the interaction.
Tata, who was here to attend the AGM of Tata Tea,
said it was decided that HPL will pay back to Tata Tea the Rs 120.000 Millions
that it had taken as an advance after Tata Tea withdrew from SUBJECT nearly
seven years back. The loan, which has remained unserviced till now, figured at
nearly every AGM of TTL with shareholders demanding to know as to what their
company was doing to get back the money.
Tata said it has now been decided that the Tatas will
get back Rs 10.000 Millions every quarter. “The payment has already started.”
Although these events were being seen as the first
concrete steps in the exit of the Tatas from SUBJECT, Bhattacharjee was
unwilling to discuss the issue, although he admitted that the pricing of the
share that the Tatas would sell to the West Bengal Industrial Development
Corporation (WBIDC) is one of the major issues.
