LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

Subject was formed in Dec.'62 mainly to acquire the undertaking of the Industrial and Engineering Apparatus Company Private Limited In Jun.'90, the company came out with a rights issue.  

 
Subject manufactures borosilicate tyre neutral and heat-resistant tubing and rods, scientific apparatus, laboratory glassware, etc. Its plants are located in Tamilnadu and Maharashtra. In 1963, a technical collaboration agreement was entered into with Corning Glass Works, New York. The company has subsidiary, namely Gujarat Borosil.  

 
In 1995-96, the company has come out with a modernisation programme as well as a diversification programme. As part of the modernisation programme, it proposes to manufacture borosilicate glass tubings in the Marol plant. As part of its diversification programme, the company has envisaged a new project at its Marai Malai Nagar plant for the manufacture of heat resistant borosilicate opal tableware. 

 
The sale of imported consumerware under the brand name Borosil International and Boromoili Rocco have performed well during 2000-2001. Gujarat Borosil Limited ceased to be a subsidiary of the company from 30th March 2002. In 2002-03 the company entered into a contract with Amercian Consultant for supply of designs,drawings,equipments and technical know-how for upgradation of furnace No 1 by enhancing its capacity from 12 MT to 22 MT per day. To finance the above project the company is taking steps to tie up with Banks/Institutions etc. The company is also proposing for a rights issue of shares with the prior approval from Shareholders at the ensuing AGM.

 

PERFORMANCE 
 
During the year, the Company had to confront various challenges. At the beginning of the year, electricity charges were sharply increased by about 70%. Supply of natural gas was suddenly reduced drastically, causing the use of LPG, which is four times more expensive. These factors caused a huge surge in energy cost. Moreover, in view of aging of furnace crown and failure of forehearth electrodes, operations at Marol have become unviable. As a result, the Company decided to shift its cold-end operations from Marol, Mumbai to Village - Dumala Boridra of District-Bharuch in Gujarat andhave transferred the workmen connected with that Department. The said transfers have been challenged by the Workers Union. However, Industrial Court has rejected their application for stay of said transfers. The Union has appealed before the High Court of Bombay and the outcome is awaited. The work on new manufacturing unit as been kept in abeyance in view of changing industrial climate in Uttarakhand. 

 
The sales during the year were higher at Rs.775.749 millions as compared to Rs.737.145 millions in the previous year. However, owing to various factors, as compared to last year, the expenses have gone up by Rs 79.600 millions, as follows: 

 
Power and Fuel : Rs. 36.400 millions

Staff Cost : Rs. 13.600 millions

Job Charges : Rs. 16.000 millions

Other Expenses : Rs. 13.600 millions 
 
Consequently, profit after tax has declined to Rs.5.359 millions. Exports during the year were lower at Rs.43.609 millions as compared to Rs.66.548 millions in the previous year. 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT 

 
 A. Industry Structure and Developments 

 
The Company is the sole manufacturer in India of low expansion borosilicate glass which it uses to manufacture a wide variety of scientific, industrial, lighting, pharmaceutical and consumerware glass items. 

 
The Company supplies tubing and other products which are used by the small scale down stream processing units to manufacture various finished products like burettes, pipettes, flasks, condensers, ground joints and jointed items, reaction, distillation and extractors units etc. The entire Research and Development, Industry, Education and Health segments of the market are major users of scientific and industrial products. Consumerware items cater to the need of the household sector. 

 
 B. Opportunities and Threats 

 
 - Opportunities 
 
 * With the increased grants by the Government of India both in Research and Education segments of the markets and faster growth particularly in the Research and Development as well as Pharma and Biotechnology segments in the private sector, there is good opportunity for the Company to increase its presence in these areas. 
 
 * So far as consumer ware items such as drinking glasses and microwave glassware etc. are concerned, there is continuous scope of growth in these areas in view of growing disposable income, particularly among the middle class in India. The Company will continue to strengthen its position in marketing these products. 
 
 - Threats 

 
 * Less availability of appratusware and drinking glasses in view of supply constraints * With the increased energy and other operational costs as mentioned above, the profitability in the Marol plant is coming under increasing pressure and the Company is finding it extremely difficult to continue operations there. 

 
 * Unrestricted import and dumping of scientific and industrial products by importers from various countries. * Availability of significant quantities of spurious goods bearing Company's brand name. * Usage of plastics and instruments in laboratories as substitute for glassware. * Entry of international/domestic business houses in trading of Scientific glassware with their own well established brands (sourced mainly from small and cottage scale Indian fabricators). 

 
C. Segmentwise or Productionwise Performance 

 
 - Scientific and Industrial Product Division 


The domestic sales improved marginally by nearly 1.36 % .However, profitability has come under pressure in view of increasing costs. There were significant pending orders in respect of Apparatus items, which owing to capacity constraints, could not be met by the end of the year. Otherwise, the performance of this division would have been significantly better. 

 
 - Consumerware Division 

 
During the year, the turnover of the consumerware division rose by over 13%, whereon the profitability was maintained in-spite of fierce competition and inflationary pressure on consumers. The Company further consolidated its position in the drinking glasses and microwave glassware segment. 

 
D. Outlook

 
Scientific and Industrial Products: 

 
There has been constant growth in the Research & Development, Pharma and Biotech segments in the private sector. 
 
The shift of such activities to reputed Indian Companies by global organizations continues.

 
Further, there has been an increase in contract research activities in the country coupled with increased allocations by the Government in the Education and Research segments of the market. The process is likely to continue. 
 
Consumerware Products: 


The Company sells its product under brands namely Borosilr, Borosil International and Napoli. The Company imports a range of products from various international manufacturers and sells these in the domestic market along with its own manufactured products. With the rise of consumerism in India, there is continuous scope of growth in the consumerware segment. However, supply side constraint could be a dampner in the Company's efforts.
