HISTORY

 

Incorporated in Apr.'86, Indo Rama Synthetics (India) (IRSIL) commenced business in Nov.'86. Promoted by M L Lohia and A P Lohia to manufacture synthetic yarn, PSF and POY. 

 
In Sep.'93, IRSIL issued FCDs to part-finance its Rs 55.500 Millions expansion-cum-backward integration project to manufacture partially oriented yarn (POY) and polyester staple fibre (PSF) at Butibori, near Nagpur which commenced commercial production in Mar.'95. Through de-bottlenecking, polyester production touched 810 tonnes per day. This is slated to reach 860 TPD by 2002-03. 

 
IRSIL has technical collaborations with Chemtex International, US, and M/s Dupont, US, and barmag, Germany, for the POY and polyester chip projects; and Toyobo, Japan, for the PSF project. IRSIL exports its products to the US, Germany, France, Belgium, etc. The company's 100% EOU at Pithampur has been awarded the ISO 9002 certification. 
 
The new plant for manufacture of PSF at Nagpur is being implemented and production is expected to commence on 2004-05. After commissioning the capacity of Polyster Staple Fibre would be 450,000 tpa from the present 300,000 tpa. This expansion is being executed in partnership with Zimmer AG, Germany. 

 
The company successfully commissioned the mini expansion for PFY/FDY capacity by 70 tonnes per day (25000 p.a and DTY capacity by 27 tonnes per day (9800 tonnes p.a). The total cost of the project was Rs.480 Millions. This project was funded by DEF Euro loan of Rs.260 Millions, SBI Yen loan of Rs.170 Millions and the rest through internal accruals.  

 
As a restructuring measure the company has de-merged its spun yarn business into a separate company, Indo Rama Textiles Limited while retaining its polyster business with itself. This de-merger was done after securing necessary approvals from the Shareholders of the company. Pursuant to this de-merger shareholders were allotted 20 shares in IRTL for every 100 shares held in the company while continuing to hold 80 shares in the company.  
 
As a step towards leveraging information for value creation, the Company has re-built its information backbone around an ERP application by implementing SAP R/3 package that links all business activities of the organisation. The Company also plans to focus on strategic IT initiatives like E-enabling, supply chain management and CRM. It is exploring new markets in Latin America, Argentina, Columbia and Venezuela. 

 
During 2005-2006, the company has taken up expansion of Polyester production capacity from 800 tonnes per day to 1600 tonnes per day for both Polyester Staple Fibre and Partially Oriented Yarn. The expansion is expected to completed in a phased manner from June, 2006 onwards. After this expansion the Polyester capacity of the Company will increase to around 6,00,000 tpa. at a single location in Butibori, Nagpur. 

 
The companies production capacity of Draw Texturised Yarn, Draw Twisted Yarn, Polyester Staple Fibre, Polyester Chips and Polyester Filament Yarn stood at 32025 tpa, 132300 tpa, 52500 tpa and 126000 tpa respectively.

 

Expansion of Capacity: 

 
The Company during the year successfully implemented the expansion of its two Continuous Polymerisation (CP) Plants of 400 tpd, each - one for Polyester Staple Fibre (PSF) production and another for Partially Oriented Yarn (POY) production. The entire project costing of Rs.7636 million net of taxes and duties was completed within the budgeted cost. While the Commercial Production in new POY Lines commenced w.e.f. 1st November, 2006, the Company commenced Commercial Production in the new PSF Plant from 30th March, 2007. Post-expansion the Polyester manufacturing capacity of the Company has increased to around 600,000 tpa at a single location in Butibori, Nagpur While this expansion of capacity shall foster the advantages of scale, latest technology, superior quality and higher productivity, it shall also pose the challenges of driving down costs, reaching newer customers and aggressively building-up market share. 

 
Review of operations: 

 
The year was volatile for the Polyester industry with pressures on both the topline as well as the bottom line. Sustained high costs of raw-material (PTA and MEG) prices, scarcity of availability of key raw materials and high input costs like Power continued to put pressures on the Polyester production cost. In order to support the industry during this period of rising input costs as well as interest rates and tight liquidity, it was consciously decided not to pass on the full impact of input costs increases to the customers. This has adversely impacted the profitability of the Company for the year. 

 
The Company's cost competitiveness, product quality, increased market penetration and product development efforts, strong customer bonding and competitive pricing approach have helped the Company increase its net sales by 7.5% compared to the last year. The Directors continue to remain bullish on the future outlook of Polyester industry in India. 

 
The Company achieved gross sales of Rs.21569 million and Net Sales of Rs.20117 million representing an increase of 2.6% and 7.5%, respectively as compared to the last year. The Company's interest costs rose during the year by more than 38% primarily due to the commencement of the charge of the Project Loans to the profit and loss account, increase in the rate of interest and higher level of working capital deployed during the year pursuant to the completion of the expansion project. Interest cost as a percentage to Net Sales remained at 1.8% in the Financial Year 2006-07 as compared to 1.4% in the last Financial Year. 

 
The exports remained a major thrust area and Company's export performance has been significant during the year with a turnover of Rs.2122.17 million as against Rs.2478.41 million in the previous year. The Company has bagged the Synthetics & Rayon Textile Export Promotion Council (SRTEPC) Export Awards for its export performance for the year 2005-06 as under:- 

 
* Gold Trophy for best overall export performance in the category of Man-made Fibre Yarn Category. 

 
* Gold Trophy for best Export Performance in the Category of Exports to 'Focus LAC countries. 

 

Merger of Captive Power Generating Unit with the Company: 

 
As already reported, the Company has made strategic investments of Rs.100 million in the equity capital of Indo Rama Petrochemicals Limited (IRPL), which is in advanced stage of completing a Coal Fired Thermal Power Project to produce 30 MW (2x15 MW) electrical power, 58 tonnes per hour process steam and 16 M3 per hour of process DM Water at Butibori. IRPL has already commissioned Unit 1 of 15 MW Power in December, 2006 and has commenced Commercial Production from 1st February, 2007. The 2nd Unit is likely to undergo Commercial Production shortly. In order to maximise value creation for the shareholders for both the companies, the Board of Directors of both the companies decided to merge IRPL with the Company, through a Scheme of Merger, under the provisions of Section 391 - 394 of the Companies Act, 1956, subject to the completion of necessary legal formalities. The merger shall help the Company lower the cost of power for its manufacturing process, facilitate saving of losses under various cost elements and enhance the value proposition for the company. The company engaged the services of a leading firm of Chartered Accountants and a globally reputed Accounting firm for the valuation of businesses of both the companies. Based on their reports, the Board of Directors of the Company decided the swap ratio for exchange of shares in IRPL with that of IRSL as 10:16, meaning thereby that the shareholders in IRPL - for every 10 (ten) shares held in IRPL - would receive 16 (sixteen) shares of IRSL with a consequent reduction and cancellation of their shares in IRPL upon issue and allotment of shares in IRSL as per the swap ratio subject to the completion of necessary formalities and approvals as applicable.  
 
 Registered Office: 

 
The Company had its Registered Office shifted from the State of Madhya Pradesh to its plant at Butibori in the State of Maharashtra after obtaining confirmation from the Company Law Board (Western Region Bench), Mumbai and also upon completion of other related formalities in this regard.  

 
Project under Clean Development Mechanism (CDM):  

 
Green House Gas (GHG) emission, which is the key responsible factor in global warming, was addressed in Kyoto Protocol. Developing countries now have an incentive to participate in GHG emission reduction initiative through Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) - one of the flexible mechanisms of Kyoto Protocol. Adoption of energy efficiency measures in production is one of the means to reduce GHG emission. The Company has taken up several such measures, and based on this principle, two CDM projects were taken up at Butibori plant. The projects have resulted in 10,000-15,000 t/y of carbon-dioxide emission reduction, which translates into carbon credit for the Company. The CDM projects are in advanced stages, and are expected to be registered at UNFCCC (United Nation Framework Convention for Climate Change) shortly. There is a significant demand of carbon credits in the developed world due to their commitment to reduce GHG emission through Kyoto Protocol. Transaction of the credits expected to be earned by the Company would result in earning carbon credit revenue for the next 10 years. 

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT 

 
Global Outlook: 

 
The global production of Polyester continued to rise in 2006 and touched 74.7 Million Tonnes from 71.1 Million tonnes - an increase of 5.1% over 2005. The Man Made Fibres Segment continued to strongly contribute to the rising output volumes.


Fibrewise Outlook: 


Cotton: 
 
Global Cotton consumption recorded a rise of 4.9% at 26.5 Million Tonnes in 2006 exceeding the production for the year. The estimated production is approx 25.4 Million Tonnes. Higher demand from China and India resulted in the increased consumption in a major way. 

 
Man Made Fibers: 

 
Man Made Fibres (MMF) recorded an increase in production by 6.2% in 2006 over 2005. In volume terms the output moved to 41.2 Million Tonnes from 38.8 Million Tonnes. This translates MMF Share to 55% on total fibre base. In the year 2005, the share of MMF was 54%. Within Man Made Fibres, Polyester Fibre Segment has been on the rise and the trend continued in 2006 also. In the year 2006, the share of Polyester in MMF was 67%, up by 2% from the year 2005. 

 
 Polyester Fibre (all segments) including textile and industrial yarns as well as staple fibres have made significant contribution to the remarkable growth. The production increased to 27.7 Million Tonnes in 2006 from 25.4 Million Tonnes in 2005 - a remarkable growth of 8.4%. While Staple fibre grew to 11.7 Million Tonnes by 7.9%, filament rose by 8.8% to 16.0 Million Tonnes. The soaring production in Asia espacially in India and China contributed to the increased output. However, the contribution from Europe and the US decliend by about 7%. 

 
The production of other fibers like Polyamide rose by 2.1% to 4.1 Million Tonnes, Polypropylene by 2.5% to 3.1 Million Tonnes while Acrylic declined by 3.0% to 2.5 Million Tonnes.


It is evident that the production of Polyester is steadily growing and improving the share in the overall fibre base. The share in terms of percentage has risen from 35.6 to 37.0 from 2005 to 2006 in all fibres. Today China, India, Thailand, Korea and Taiwan accounts for more than 75% of the production and China commands more than 50% of the total production. 

 
Indian Fibre Outlook: 

 
The year 2006 marked the significant arrival of Indian Textile Industry on the world Map. The entire Textile value chain from Raw Fibre to Garmenting saw the healthy trend of increased consumption and addition of value to the process. 

 
Some of the Key growth pointers showing positive trends of Indian Textile Industry are :- 

 
 * A strong fibre raw material base with growing production 

 
 * The exports touching more than US 17 Billion in the current year 


 * The all round growth of exports both in terms of US$ ( 6.47%) and INR (11,43%) in Readymade garments, Cotton Textiles, Man-made Textiles and Silk 

 

 * Textile Vision setting a target of over US$ 50 Billion by 2010 

 
 * Large scale downstream investment as in weaving and Processing 

 
A look at the production of Fabric and Yarns over the last three years strengthen the faith of a robust build up of the Textile Industry in India. 

 

Today, in India, the total estimated production of fibres is 7.2 Million Tonnes. The Cotton and Polyester fibre respresent, together approx 94% of the total production base, leaving the other fibres like Viscose, Polyamide etc. almost insignificant. In contrast, the domestic consumption stands at around 5.9 Million Tonnes, of which Cotton and Polyester respresent 93% of the total consumption. Polyester, as a growing fibre, represents 31.5% of the total fibre production and 33% of the total consumption in India. 

 
This year witnessed major expansion in Polyester fibre by Majors and New entrants. The capacity expansion is in line with the increased exports of Polyester based garments fuelling domestic demand. The total Polyester capacity now stands at 2.60 Million Tonnes as compared to 1.95 Million Tonnes in the year 2005, an increase of 33%. The year 2007-08 is likely to scale up to around 3.3 Million Tonnes by 2007-08 after becoming fully operational. 

 
Total Polyester consumption in 2006 increased from 1.68 Million Tonnes to an estimated 1.96 Million Tonnes, posting a healthy growth of 16%. This is in contrast to the growth of a marginal 2.5% recorded in the year 2005. 

 
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS: 

 
Opportunities 
 
* The economy growing at 8-9% GDP consistently is positive and the overall economy outlook is stable. 

 
* The outlook for the Textile and Clothing sector remains stable. The sector aided by the dismantling of the quotas from the year 2005 generated increased exports in the years 2005 and 2006 and is expected to continue the trend in the year 2007. It is estimated that the year 2007 is likely to witness US$ 20 Billion mark in Textile exports. 

 
* The sensivity of the sector towards Government Policies is high, the direction being now favourable, large scale investments in Spinning, Weaving, Garmenting, Knitting and Processing are taking place and are also planned up for future. 

 
* The per capita household consumption of textile and clothing has grown around 4-5% from 2004 onwards as a result of higher disposable income and the growing middle class population in India. 

 
* Significant Value added Exports, with an average better realization than China and Pakistan, India has emerged as a large value added Player 

 
* A US$ 50 Billion Target of Exports and US$ 40 Billion Domestic market dream in 2010 can be realised only with the rapidly growing Polyester fibre due to the limited avialability of Cotton Fibre. It is estimated that quantity greater than 5.0 Million Tonnes Polyester would be required to achieve the desired target. A great opportunity for Polyester segment is there to grow by leap and bounds. 

 
* The high prices of Cotton, declining raw material prices of PTA, MEG resulting in low price of Polyester would result in higher competitiveness. 

 
Threats: 
 
 * The Industry growth is mainly dependent upon the downstream growth like that of Spinning, Weaving and Garmenting. The cyclic nature also adds inconsistency in the overall performance. 

 
 * The processing still remains the weakest link in order to produce a high value fabric or garments. Though some investments are planned to take place in this area, but still a lot of improvements are required to bring the sector to a world class status. 

 
 * Volatility in Crude Oil prices may have an adverse impact on the consistency of Polyester prices. 

 
* 2006-07 witnessed large capacities, which created a temporary demand supply imbalance. This has resulted in low margins. The new capacity addition absorption may take a year or so. 

 
* Exchange Rate Volatility, Appreciation of Rupee may have adverse affect on export realisations. 

 
PRODUCTWISE PERFORMANCE: 

 
PFY: 
 
Total sales of POY, FDY and DTY of Rs. 11,605.35 Million were recorded during the year. Domestics sales increased by 9.9% in value terms compared to last year Indo Rama has a consolidated market share of 11%. 

 
PSF: 
 
Total sales of PSF of Rs.8,667.54 Million were recorded in the year. Domestic sales declined by 4.3% in value terms compared to last year Indo Rama has a consolidated market share of 21%. 

 
SECTOR OUTLOOK: 

 
PFY: 
 
The total installed capacity for PFY is estimated at 1.68 Million Tonnes and is expected to go up to 2.08 Million Tonnes in the year 2007-08. Most of the major expansions are already completed. The opening of world trade with no quota has seen a quantam jump in export of ladies dresses, which are mainly produced out of PFY. The huge domestic demand due to various applications in Weaving and Knitting and also of Industrial Yarns segments would result in double digit growth in the year. The domestic demand is likely to be 10-11 % CAGR. PFY Contributes around 66% of the total Polyester fibre production. 

 
The estimated production is around 1.50 Million Tonnes in the current year, an increase of over 39% from 2005-06 and corresponds to 89% operational capacity. The easy processability and wide spread usage make PFY attractive. Indo Rama accounts for 16% of the industry's installed capacity. 

 
PSF: 
 
The total installed capacity of PSF is estimated at 0.92 Million Tonnes and is expected to go up to 1.12 Million Tonnes. The year saw huge capacity additions by the Industry Majors in expectation of robust downstream industry demand. The Spindlage addition of around 2.00 lacs per month is currently taking place and PSF industry sees a huge opportunity to tap the peotential that lies ahead in terms of quantum. The shortage of Quality Cotton and the relatively high prices of Cotton make Polyester Staple Fibre attractive. 

 
The estimated production is 0.78 Million Tonnes in the year 2006-07 and corresponds to 85% of the capacity utilisation-. The increase in production over the year 2005-06 is about 24%. Indo Rama, today, accounts for 24% of the installed capacity and, in 2007-08, around 26%. 

 
PSF demand is likely to surge due to huge spindlage expansion on Cotton and Manmade spindle system across the country To meet the growing exports in Man Made Textiles category, PSF would be needed. The application of 100% Polyester Spun yarns has seen a robust growth and with the increased areas of application in Apparel and Non-Apparel, PSF demand is likely to remain @ 8-10 CAGR. 

 
OUTLOOK FOR INDO RAMA: 

 
Indo Rama doubled its capacity from 800 TPD to 1600 TPD in the current year and is in line with anticipated robust domestic demand growth in the future. The Company sees a great growth potential for both of its main products, PFY and PSF and hence/has positioned itself as a Quality Supplier right from the beginning,; The Wide Spread Commodity Products, Customized Products as per the requirement of customer, Technical Evaluation of the performance on the shop floor and Customer Friendly sales and marketing policies enabled Indo position itself as a preferred Supplier in an extremely competitive market.  

 
The Value for money approach, Customer Learning workshops helped Indo Rama to retain more than 90% of the customers in its fold during the year. 

 
Indo Rama also enfered the Export Market and was an instant success due to its high and consistent quality of products in PFY, PSF. Today, Indo Rama exports to South East Asia, Middle East, Africa, Europe and Latin America. The exports enabled Indo Rama to balance the Domestic Demand-Supply scenario. The organisation is now seen as a leading Polyester Exporter with great Emphasis on Quality and Service. 

 
PFY : 

 
The continuous improvements in quality and better realisations for the customers are the key focus areas for Indo Rama. The development of new products is a priority and, in the current year, Indo Rama developed new deniers, such as 505/96, 120/108 and 360/34 used in suiting, shirting and Dress Material applications. The Company expects to gain better market share from the present 11% to 14%. Indo Rama, after establishing its product range in semidull market, looks forward to enter the Speciality deniers, on a select basis, to add to the product basket. 

 
PSF: 
 
Indo Rama currently maintains 21% market share and through sustainable measures, new products like PSF for Sewing Threads SHT projects to take market share to 24% in the year 2007-08. Indo Rama PSF has a reach of entire India Customer base and will increase the base by sound customer Policies. 

 
Risk and Concerns: 

 
* The huge capacity expansions by Polyester producers have created a short term demand supply imbalance resulting in loss of margins and is an area of concern. 

 
* The Company is mostly in a commodity trade and is subject to intense competition of commercial offerings by competitors. It may result in sales loss. 

 
* China's ambitious and structured growth of Textiles and Clothing Exports may result in loss of exports from India, which in turn, may have impact on domestic growth of fibres. This can affect the sale prospects of the Company. 

 
* The Company plans to exports currently 15-20% of the production and is subject to currency exchange rate fluctuation and can affect the export realisation to that extent. 

 
* The abnormal fluctuations in raw material costs from time to time may erode price competitiveness and can adversely affect the Company's profitability. 

 
Indo Rama aims to. address all the above risks and concerns, through well timed strategy and business decisions. The domestic consumption, even after factoring all the above concerns, is likely to grow due to its wide usage applications and demand raised by final consumer. The recently completed expansion project will add to scale and is aimed to becoming cost competitive and reach new customers, through technology innovation and quality products.
