MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
The
Management of the Company present the analysis of performance of the Company
for the year 2007-2008 and the outlook for the future, which is based on
assessment of the current business environment. It may vary due to future
economic and other developments, both in India and abroad.
The Indian
economy in the last few years has been on an upswing and marches ahead as one
of the fastest growing economies in the world. Such a robust growth has been
spurred by the Industrial and Service Sectors which have contributed more than
80% of the total GDP. In turn, tax collections have been buoyant, improving
state of the public finances.
A GDP growth
of around 9% in consecutive years and robust domestic consumption portend
encouraging signs of continued growth. During the year, the capital market
overall did well despite some volatility. The rupee proved to be sturdy and
reliable currency with a surge in the inflow of foreign direct investments and
portfolio investments, as also weakness exhibited by the US Dollar. Foreign
exchange reserves burgeoned. Amidst the backdrop of global volatility and
incipient signs of a global slowdown, India's economy shows resilience,
characterized by healthy macro economic conditions. This along with other
positive factors such as favorable demographic profile and rising income levels
holds out promise for furthering the consumption led growth. Indeed, India
looks poised to maintain its growth trajectory as a country. The remarkable
progress of the industrial sector registering a growth of more than 10%
provides immense opportunities for the Company. The management's views on the
Company's performance and outlook are discussed below:
Business:
Energy
The Company
has a significant presence in the Energy sector commodities of coal, power, petroleum
products trading and city gas distribution. In order to be present across the
value chain in these business areas, the Company initiated its foray into power
generation, coal mining, oil and gas exploration as well as expanding the city
gas distribution footprint to several other cities in India.
Power
Generation
The Company
intends to capitalize on the emerging opportunities in the Indian power
generation sector, which are being driven by the current and expected demand
and supply imbalance in India. Notwithstanding various policy initiatives
within India to diversify fuel mix, with the limited reserve potentiality of
petroleum and natural gas, eco-conservation, restrictions on hydroelectric
power projects and the geopolitical perception of nuclear power, they believe
that it is likely that coal will continue to be the primary generator of energy
in India.
The Company
is targeting a total power generation capacity of 10,000 MW to be operational
in a phased manner through its subsidiaries, Adani Power Limited., Adani Power
Maharashtra Limited, Adani Power Rajasthan Limited., Adani Power Dahej Private.
Limited. in the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan.
The Company
has currently six thermal power projects under various stages of development or
planning. Brief details of various power projects being undertaken by the
Company are as under:

has entered into agreements with holders of long-term exploitation licenses to
exclusively mine coal in Bunyu Island, Indonesia. For Mundra I, II and III
power projects, APL proposes to procure the coal from PT Adani Global which
will source such coal from mines in Indonesia. The coal for Mundra IV power
project will also be procured internationally and supplied by the Company to
the power project sites. As a result of their long-term coal supply agreements
and relationship with the supplier, they believe that the Company will benefit
from competitive pricing for procuring the coal for its various power projects.

With the
setting up of the aforesaid mega power projects, the Company will be emerged as
a large integrated player in the power sector having presence in the entire
value chain viz. From coal power trading to coal mining and > power
generation.
B.
Coal Mining
(i). Indian
Coal Mining
Coal is the
most important and abundant fossil fuel in India. The country's industrial
heritage was built upon indigenous coal. Geological Survey of India has
estimated the coal reserves of India at 247.85 billion tonnes of which 92 billion
tonnes are proven. Hard coal deposits spread over 27 major coal fields are
mainly confined to eastern and south central parts of India. Based on
estimates, the consumption of coal is projected to rise by nearly 40% over the
next five years and almost to double by 2020. Indigenous coal mining shall
accordingly form an important segment of the overall power sector thrust area
for the coming years.
With this
backdrop, Indian coal is supposed to be a major fuel source to domestic energy
market for the next century and beyond. As informed last year, the Company has
been selected by Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut
Utpadan Nigam Limited. (RVUNL) for Identifying the techno-economically viable
most suitable coal blocks, liaisoning with Govt. of India and making all efforts
for allotment of the identified coal block(s) to RVUNL and carrying out coal
mining operations for delivery of coal to its power plants. Pursuant to this,
Government of India has allocated Parsa East and Kente Basan coal Blocks
located in Chhattisgarh (Coal Blocks) to RVUNL in June 2007. Further, in
compliance of the condition of the tender, a Joint Venture Company namely,
Parsa Kente Collieries Limited has been incorporated in October 2007 wherein
the Company holds 74% shareholding and RUVNL holds 26% shareholding which will
enter into a Coal Mining and delivery Agreement with RVUNL to undertake the
development and operation of the Coal Blocks and delivering the coal from the
Coal Blocks to RVUNL Thermal Power Stations.
The coal
mining operations in the above said Coal Blocks are expected to start from
April 2010. Further, the Company has been also been selected as successful
bidder for carrying out survey, exploration and mining activities in coal block
allotted to Maharashtra State Mining Corporation Limited at Agarzari, Near
Chandrapur District in the State of Maharashtra. A Joint Venture special
purpose vehicle will be formed to undertake above activities.
The Company
is also actively looking at other opportunities in mining operations in India
and Abroad. The Company will continue to look for more opportunities across
India for other coal mining ventures with State Electricity Boards.
(ii).
Indonesian Coal Mining
Coal is a
global industry, with coal mined commercially in over 50 countries and consumed
in over 70 countries. The world currently uses 5.4 billion tons of coal in
variety of sectors – power generation, iron and steel production, cement
manufacturing and as a fuel. Its production has seen a substantial increase
over the last 20 years, with maximum contribution by Asia.
Indonesia
being the seventh largest coal-producing country in the world has approximately
5.3 billion MT of recoverable coal reserves. Sumatra contains roughly two-third
of Indonesia's total coal reserves, with the balance located in Kalimantan,
West Java and Sulawesi.
The Company
through its subsidiary Company, PT Adani Global, Indonesia has identified 140
million tons coal mine reserves in the Indonesia. The identified reserves are
located in the island of Bunyu in E.Kalimantan, near the border of Malaysia to
the north. The sites are located in the central and northern part of the
island. The preliminary geological investigation has been completed and the
mining would be started followed by the subsequent development. Once the mines
start functioning, the Company will have presence in the entire value chain of
coal business, as the Company is already a leading coal trader. Apart from
this, the Company is exploring more options in Australia, South Africa and
other countries for coal mining.
Power
and Coal Trading
There exists
a large gap between supply and demand of power in large parts of the country.
Inherent diversity in demand of various States in the country also results in
periods of seasonal surplus in one State or Region coinciding with periods of
deficit in another. To capitalize on this growing opportune sector, the Company
had started power trading business in November, 2003 and since then the Company
has already traded more than 7000 Million Units of power till March, 2008 to
the entire satisfaction of surplus / buying utilities of power. The Company has
evolved as a leading private sector power trader in India and targets to
increase its trading volume to 5000 Million Units per annum over next five
years.
The Company
is holding highest category 'F' inter-state license for trading in power by the
Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) in 2003, wherein the Company
can undertake trading of more than 1,000 Million Units of electricity during
the year, covering the jurisdiction of the entire country, except Jammu and
Kashmir, for next 25 years. Further, during the year, the Company has obtained
membership of first power exchange, Indian Energy Exchange Limited. (IEX) to
widen the scope of services being offered to customers. The Company plans to
include the trading of surplus power from power projects being set up by the
subsidiary Companies in future. The Company also plans to explore power trading
avenues with the neighboring countries like Bhutan, Nepal and Bangladesh and
focusing on long term contracts to drive the volume growth.
Coal is one
of the primary sources of energy, accounting for about 55% of the total energy
consumption in the country. About 75% of the coal in India is consumed in the power
sector. Indian coal has high ash content and low calorific value and India has
also faced a shortage of coal supply for many years, which is expected to
continue as energy needs increase with growth of the Indian economy. Most of
this shortage will need to be met through imports.
During the
year, the Company has maintained its position as the largest importer of coal
in India. The Company has also entered into long-term strategic arrangements
for supply of imported coal, which has lesser Ash content and better calorific
value for higher productivity with largest mining Company of Indonesia. The
Company has also developed relationships with large miners of Indonesia and
China.
City
Gas Distribution
Gas
distribution for Industries, commercial establishments and residences in the
cities has ushered in a new era of cost-efficient and environment friendly
fuel. CNG program introduced in the country due to environmental concerns has
registered an immense success due to the fact that use of CNG holds large price
advantage in automobiles compared with use of conventional fuels like MS and
diesel. The Company aims at improving the environment by setting up a
comprehensive network of CNG stations.
The Company
has forayed into the business of City Gas Distribution Business through its
subsidiary Adani Energy Limited., (AEL) with an objective of providing safe,
convenient, reliable and environment friendly fuel (Piped Natural Gas - PNG and
Compressed Natural Gas – CNG) to the industrial, commercial, household and
transport sectors. Subject has already set up a Gas Distribution Network,
established infrastructure for more than 130 KM of steel pipeline network, 450
KM of PE network, 45 CNG stations for two of Gujarat's most industrialized and
commercial Districts – Ahmedabad and Vadodara. Subject is targeting to serve
more then 250 industrial units, 10,000 households, 100 commercial units and
40,000 vehicles in these cities through its infrastructure network. Subject is
also implementing City Gas Distribution projects to repeat the similar success
stories in Noida, Lucknow and Khurja in UP, Faridabad in Haryana and Udaipur,
Jaipur in Rajasthan. It has already initiated the infrastructure development in
these cities to meet the fuel needs of industrial, domestic, commercial and
Transport sectors. Supply of Natural Gas will definitely bring down the
pollution level in these cities.
Oil
and Gas Exploration
Natural Gas
is rapidly becoming the most preferred source of energy. India ranks 12th in
terms of Natural Gas Reserves with almost 3 bn cubic meters. Most of these
reserves are located in the hydrocarbon rich Krishna-Godavari (KG) basin, Upper
Assam and Cambay basin in Gujarat. Given that India imports around two thirds
of its oil and gas requirement, the sector throws up some exciting
opportunities.
Looking to
this scenario and as part of its integrated strategy, the Company has also
forayed into the Oil and Gas sector and formed a JV Company called Adani
Welspun Exploration Limited. (AWEL) with majority (65%) stake with Welspun
Group for Oil and Gas Exploration and Production business. AWEL has been
awarded two oil and gas blocks in Gujarat and Assam viz. Palej block in Cambay,

Petro
Products
The Company
has established State of the Art – Bunkering (Ship Fuelling Business)
facilities at Mundra Port with procurement of two products barges of 3,000 MT
capacity each, storage and blending facility in place. This strategically
located bunkering facility competes with the two major bunkering hubs in Asia
viz. Singapore and Fujairah. The ever increasing traffic of vessels ensures
strong demand for ship fuel in the coming years. Hence, the bunkering business
has a great potential to achieve higher volumes by 2010.

year, in order to carry on business of bunkering in various ports of India, the
Company has formed JV Companies with Chemoil Group of Singapore in Singapore
having 50 : 50 equity participation. This strategic Joint Ventures will
significantly boost up the bunkering activities of the Company.
Business:
Real Estate
The Indian
real estate sector is on a strong growth path, led by rising GDP, increasing
demographics, growing affordability, increasing impact of IT/ITES and organized
retail sectors, supported by strong FDI and portfolio inflows. The
unprecedented demand has driven the need for organized sources of funding,
creating 'investability' and has led to the emergence of real estate as a
sustainable asset class. Investable real estate assets in India are only 7-8%
of India's GDP compared with 40-50% in most developed economies. The office
space in India is also far lower when compared with international peers like
Hong Kong and New York. Against this backdrop, real estate sector in India is
likely to grow.
The Company
has forayed into the Real Estate Sector through its subsidiary, Adani
Infrastructure and Developers Private Limited (AIDPL). AIDPL has enhanced its
scope of operations in a short span of time, developing large integrated
townships as well as commercial and retail properties. It has a approx 105 mn
sq ft of Floor Space Index (“FSI”) under development, which is expected to be
fully executed in the next five years. The projects are a combination of Sale
and Lease models, on a case to case basis. It has built up land bank at
strategic locations and is partnering with other realty players to ensure that
the execution moves ahead as per schedule.

II.
Commercial and Residential Development in Mumbai
Mumbai is a
commercial capital of India and is the sixth largest metro in the world. As a
result, Mumbai offers a plethora of employment opportunities and this in turn
has led to an increase in its population. With scare residential space to cater
to an ever increasing population and dwindling commercial area in the event of
enhanced economic activity, Mumbai realty prices have hit the roof. To
capitalize on this segment, the Company through its subsidiary, Adani
Developers Private. Limited. (ADPL) has identified two properties in Mumbai.
III.

II.
Edible Oil
The Company
had commenced trading in Edible Oil since 2000 and looking to the urbanization
and increasing demand of packed oil, ventured into Edible Oil Refining through
50 : 50 JV Company, Adani Wilmar Limited. (AWL). It established first Indian
port based edible oil refinery through Mundra. With the enhancement of refining
capacity, location specific products and branding efforts, AWL has also

III. Fruits
and Vegetables
India is 2nd
largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world but contributes less
than 1% of total production of fruits and vegetables due to lack of post
harvest technologies, logistics and improper storage.
To capitalize
on this segment, the Company through its subsidiary viz, Adani Agri Fresh
Limited (AAFL) has taken the lead in developing logistics integrated storage,
handling and transportation infrastructure for fruits and vegetables and set up
modern Controlled Atmospheric Storage facilities for storage of fruits and
vegetables with European technology at three locations viz. Rewali, Sainz, and
Rohru in Himachal Pradesh having a combined capacity of around 18,000 MT. AAFL
also plans to roll out of pack house facilities in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra
Pradesh and Karnataka in a phased manner. AAFL has already set up a strong
marketing network in 30 major towns across India for wholesale, cash and carry
and organized retail.
The strategy
of the said Company is to concentrate on products that are produced far from
major consumption centers, are seasonal in nature and are amendable to increase
in storage life using modern integrated cold chain facilities. This would
enable the Company to leverage on its logistics strength while at the same time
take advantage of controlled atmospheric storage technology to arbitrage on the
price differential between peak and off peak season. Initially the project
would be focused on apples and would then diversify into other fruits and
vegetable products in a planned phased manner. During the year, AAFL has
handled 4800 MT of apples and plans to procure around 16,000 MT of apples in
the FY 08-09.

party cargo.
Competition/Outlook
on opportunities
Competition
The
businesses in which the Company is engaged are highly competitive and has
competitors in each of its major business operations on a local, regional,
national and international levels. Although barriers to entry are high in a
number of the Company's businesses due to the costs associated with sourcing
commodities and managing their transportation, the Company faces additional
competition from new entrants and from its existing customers who are becoming
more involved in sourcing to satisfy their own supply requirements. The markets
for the Company's metals, minerals, ores, agro-commodities and energy products
are also price competitive and sensitive to product
substitution.
In many of these businesses, the Company's competitors have greater economies
of scale and are also more vertically integrated and generally not only act as
commodities merchants but also as processors, which allow them to make a higher
margin. Competition with these and other suppliers, processors and distributors
is based on price, quality of service and geographic location.
