LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History:

 

Incorported as a private limited, Himalaya Granites (HGL) was promoted by M P Valusami, M Vijan, M P Balkrishna, S Susindran and R Gunasekaran to set up a 100% export-oriented granite-processing unit. However, the unit was sold to S P Mittal and R Mittal of the Greenply group in 1991. Commercial production of monuments, tombstones, and memorials started form Aug.'91. HGL was then converted into a public limited company and given its present name in 1994.

 
The company tapped the capital market in Dec.'94 to fund the expansion of its existing unit and to implement a backward integration project to acquire and develop granite quarries and to procure quarrying and material handling equipment. 


Its products are exported to the UK, the US, Germany, Japan, Canada, Ireland, etc. HGL is the winner of the CAPEXIL Certificate of Merit for two successive years (1992-93 and 1993-94). The company has also started exports of rough granite blocks from its own quarries. 


In 1997-98 the company increased its installed capacity of Granite Monuments by 14500 Sq Mtrs there by taking the installed capacity to 26500 Sq Mtrs.

 

The company was converted into a Public Limited Company pursuant to a special resolution passed at the Extra-ordinary General Meeting of the company and a new Certificate of Incorporation consequent upon change of name of the company to its present name was issued by Registrar of Companies, Tamil Nadu on 21st March, 1994.

 

The company tapped the capital market in December, 1994 to fund the expansion of its existing unit and to implement a backward integration project to acquire and develop granite quarries and to procure quarrying and handling equipment.

 

Its products are exported to the UK, USA, Germany, Japan, Canada, Ireland, etc. The company is the winner of the CAPEXIL Certificate of Merit for two successive years (1992-93 and 1993-94). The company had also started exports of rough granite blocks from its own quarries.

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:

 

During the year the export sales has come down due to sudden decline in the overall demand of rough granite blocks internationally. The Company is taking various steps to enhance performance and profitability. The directors are confident of achieving higher turnover and profit in times to come. The Directors are pleased to inform you that the Company has been accorded the Status of One Star Export House in accordance with the provisions of the Foreign Trade Policy, 2004-09.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT:

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The growth in this sector over the years has been inconsistent because of the global recession and competition. Technological advances and market competition has changed basic feature of the monument industry and the margins it works with. While granite has an image of luxury product, in the production side, the processing industry has changed from being a low volume high margin one to a low margin high volume business. They are facing stiff competition from China because of its proximity to European countries, strong yuan and support from Government.

 

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

 

Production has decreased drastically in the recent past and the decline in prices is also very steep. Gross margins have come sharply down. During the year 2007-08, their average per sq. mtr. sale price has witnessed a downward pressure of 15.78% in comparison with the previous year. Fluctuations in foreign currencies and increase in the raw material costs has lead to retail price volatility and intense price competition, and had influence trade buying patterns. China has become a serious factor in the world markets in granite monuments, is offering cheaper prices even in Indian granites. Its fast increasing presence has sharply accelerated the trend of lower prices.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Export of granite monuments involves different approach and strategy. They should cope-up with the foreign buyer's expectations in terms of quality, uniform colour, polish, price and timely delivery. International marketing is mainly through personalised selling, Periodical visits to buyer countries and participation in trade fairs will help in sustaining the clientele and evaluating competition and global market trends. Outlook looks grim due to increasing cost and reducing sales prices

During the year, the workers of the Company unit situated at Panchalam Village, Melpettai Post, Tindivanam, Tamilnadu-604 307 has gone on strike w.e.f 27th February, 2008 (Seond Shift)./ Consequently, the management has decided Lock-out at the said unit w.e.f. 18th March, 2008 and the same is continuing.
