Financial Results

 

As will be seen from the financial results the Company posted its best ever results. The turnover for the year including other income was Rs.7190.000 millions compared to Rs.5550.000 millions in the previous year. The Gross Profit and the Net Profit were higher at Rs.630.000 millions and Rs.290.000 millions compared to Rs.410.000 millions and Rs.250.000 millions respectively in the previous year. Exports of the Company at Rs.1860.000 millions against Rs.1390.000 millions in the previous year were an all time high. 

 
After payment of dividend and transfer of Rs.60.000 millions. to General Reserve (previous year - nil), the balance carried forward in the Profit and Loss Account will be Rs.610.000 millions  which include Rs.320.000 millions brought forward from previous year and Rs.80.000 millions Debenture Redemption Reserve written back. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OPERATIONS
 
Sugar
 
The overall performance of the business was better due to improved managerial inputs and market conditions. 
 
The Country's sugar production and consumption during the year were more or less balanced. This coupled with exports resulted in lower inventories and sugar prices remaining firm. International sugar prices have also firmed up. 
 
During the year, Daurala's cane crushing at 1.360 millions MT and sugar production at 0.132 millions MT were marginally lower than the previous year due to lower reservation of cane area as a result of establishment of new sugar factories around their plant. Due to early start of factories in the region and late rains, sugar recovery was lower than usual in Western U.P as a whole and Daurala was no exception. Efforts are being made to improve cane availability this year. 

 
The first phase of the project for expansion of cane crushing capacity and modernization was implemented during the year by adding 2000 TCD capacity, taking the expanded crushing capacity to 10,000 TCD. The second phase of the project to add another 2000 TCD crushing capacity and modernization of the sugar plant and the powerhouse is in progress. To provide further stability to the operations and achieve value addition, enhancing co-generation of power and other cost reduction measures are under active consideration. 

 
Alcohols
 
Production and sale of alcohols were stable. Margins were under pressure due to reduced availability of molasses and resultant volatility in its price. Supplies of Anhydrous Alcohol to oil companies, which remained suspended through most part of the year due to unattractive prices offered by the oil companies, resumed in the last quarter on reaching an agreement with them. The prospects for the current year are encouraging. In case it is made mandatory for oil companies to admix 5% ethanol with petrol, demand could rise significantly. 

 

Chemicals
 
During the first full year of operation of the chemical business after amalgamation of Daurala Organics, there was all round improvement. Year on year growth in income was higher and exports during the year also registered an increase over the previous year. In the phase of a continuing competitive market situation, the growth is indicative of better customer confidence in the Company and its products. 

 
Efforts are on to improve efficiencies and increase the level of value addition, to counteract the increase in some raw material prices which are driven by rising global commodity prices. 

 
Rayon
 
Rayon operations were upgraded with the addition of 500 TPA capacities and installation of state of the art Airjet looms for improving the fabric quality. 

 
Exports grew in spite of a weak Euro during the year. Operational margins, however, suffered during the year on account of increased raw material prices, high energy costs and relatively weak Euro. 

 
The Unit has installed a 3.2 MW back pressure turbine and is taking steps to install a high efficiency multi-fuel boiler. These steps are expected to reduce energy costs significantly and keep the Unit more competitive in the international market. This Project will also promote 'clean' fuel usage. Steps are also being taken to upgrade the dipping facility to meet value added products required by customers. 

 
The Unit, for the 10th time since 1992-93, received the award for highest exports from Synthetics and Rayon Export Promotion Council for the year 2004-05. 

 

 

 

Nylon
 
Nylon chafer market continued on a limited scale on account of availability of cheaper imported material. 
 
PROMOTED COMPANIES


DCM Hyundai Ltd. 

 

The Company's efforts for diversification from traditional shipping containers to production and sale of special containers have achieved some break through. It is expected that the operations will improve further. 

 
To supplement its efforts at arriving at a workable revival plan through the Hon'ble BIFR, the Promoter Company has taken over the debt of one of the two large creditors of the Company through a onetime settlement. Efforts are being made to arrive at a settlement on the remaining issues, to be able to revive the Company. 
 
 Others
 
During the year Daurala Foods and Beverages Pvt. Ltd. continued to earn a small operating profit. DCM Shriram Leasing and Finance Limited continued its efforts in recovering its dues as last year. However, recoveries have slowed down due to lengthy legal processes. 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT


The Company's business comprises of sugar, alcohols, chemicals and rayon with manufacturing facilities at Daurala (U.P) and Kota (Rajasthan). The performance of each segment during the year and the financials has been covered in the Directors' Report. The year 2005-06 was significant for the Company for achieving highest ever turnover and profits, after merger of Daurala Organics with the Company. 

 
Industry structure and competitive scenario for various products are given below: 

 
Sugar
 

The operations of the Company's sugar unit during the period were satisfactory and well managed. Despite a significant drop in the reserved cane area, the unit managed to crush 1.360 millions MT of cane by increasing procurement from its own area and from other assigned areas. In view of the increased crushing capacity they could have done better had full cane been available. 


The new incentive scheme of the UP Government for creation of new capacity in the State is strongly biased towards new capacity, at the cost of the existing capacity and has significant barriers of entry for small groups and existing plants. Various new sugar plants have come up in the area on the strength of the incentive scheme. On the other hand the State Government has so far been unable to evolve an equitable policy for allocation of sugarcane area amongst factories. These factories together have had an adverse impact on the operations of the existing sugar factories including theirs. Efforts are continuing at various levels to evolve an equitable methodology for reservation of cane area on factory wise basis, in the overall interest of the industry. 

 
After the decision of Supreme Court empowering the State Govt. to fix cane price, the State Govt. has yet to evolve a methodology for arriving at a fair price on a year to year basis which would take care of the various aspects, including sugar prices, for keeping the Industry healthy. 

 
Domestic sugar production for the season more or less balanced with demand. This coupled with exports resulted in firming of sugar prices. 

 
With the developed countries starting to withdraw subsidies and many sugar producing countries diverting sugar cane towards alcohol production, for mixing with petrol, the prices of sugar in the international market have firmed up. This will have a positive implication for the domestic sugar industry as a whole; as regards export avenues as also sugar price stability 

 
Alcohols
 
With the increasing trend of sugar production molasses and alcohol production is also expected to increase in the future. The availability of free molasses would need to be closely monitored keeping its cyclic nature as also new distillation capacity coming up at the sugar factories in mind. 


The Government of India is keen that the admixing of ethanol with petrol increases rapidly, in light of India's growing fuel demand and the surge in the global pricing. Keeping this and the normal growth in the Chemical and Potable sectors, the demand for alcohol is expected to remain strong in the future. 

 

Fine Chemicals


 While their fine chemicals business improved over the previous year, such business in general is operating under pressure. Increase in cost of raw materials, many of which are linked to global and commodity price, has affected margins adversely. 

 

The Company is pursuing a market led strategy to meet the situation, expanding the production and market share with a thrust on exports on one hand and improving process efficiencies and diversifying portfolio on the other. 
 
Rayon
 
The Unit being a manufacturer of high tenacity rayon products for the tyre industry caters to major tyre producers in the international market. Presently tyre companies are sourcing yarn and fabric from them and getting it processed for their usage. They are keen to directly source the processed fabric instead and for this purpose the Unit is taking steps to upgrade its dipping facilities so that it can effectively meet the demand for value added products. 
 
Being a very specialized business with limited raw material supplies and a relatively small number of customers, cost competitiveness and quality consciousness are of utmost importance. 

 
The Unit is taking cost reduction measures and making continuous improvements in processes and equipment to ease the pressure on the margins due to increase in prices of inputs as well as energy. The implementation of Total Quality Management is expected to optimize the processes, equipment utilization and reduce wastage. 
 
The dependence on State Electricity Board for additional power is being significantly reduced with the installation of 3.2 MW back pressure turbine for co-generation of power as a by-product from the steam used in the process. In order to further reduce usage of coal and promote 'clean' fuel usage, a high pressure multi fuel Fluidized Bed Combustion Boiler is proposed to be installed.
