MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: 


The Industry Overview: 


 The dyestuff sector is one of the most important segments of the chemical industry in India, having forward and backward linkages with a variety of sectors like textiles, leather, paper, polymers, printing ink, medical use, electronics and foodstuffs. 

 
 The world market size of dyes, pigments and intermediates is estimated at approximately US$ 23 billion. The industry is expected to grow at approximately 5-7% per annum in the next decade. Dyestuff and intermediates industry in India grew initially as import substitution. The quality of Dyes made in India meets the exacting standards set by International customers. 

 
 The Dyestuff industry constitutes three sub-divisions namely dyes, pigments and intermediates. Dyes are soluble and essentially used in textile products. Pigments, on the other hand, are insoluble and are important inputs to products such as paints. 

 
 The major users of dyes in India are Textile, paper and leather industries. Pigments are used mostly by the paint, printing ink, plastic and polymer industries as colouring agents or in manufacturing of colouring dyes. 
 
 DYES and DYE INTERMEDIATES: 

 
 Dyes are classified according to various systems. The most commonly used one is the one used by the US International Trade Commission. According to this system, there are following types of dyes, as detailed in the table below: 

 
 Group Application 

 
 Acid Wool, silk, paper, synthetic fibers, leatherAzoic Printing Inks and PigmentsBasic Silk, wool, cottonDirect Cotton, cellulosic and blended fibersDisperse dyes Synthetic fibersReactive Cellulosic fiber and fabricOrganic pigments Cotton, cellulosic, blended fabric, paperSulphur Cotton, cellulosic fiberVat dyes Cotton, cellulosic and blended fiber 

 
 With the change in the product profile of the textile industry from the high-cost cotton textiles to the highly durable and versatile synthetic fibers, the consumption pattern of dyes has also been changing. Polyesters are projected to account for a large part of dye consumption in the country. Accordingly, disperse dyes, which find application in polyesters, are projected to grow faster.


 
 In addition to textiles, dyestuffs are also used in industries like plastic, paints, printing inks, paper and leather. While these industries account for a very small part of domestic consumption, globally these account for a substantial part of total consumption.

 
 
 The world market size of dyes, pigments and intermediates is estimated at approximately US$23 billion. The industry is expected to grow at approximately 5-7% per annum in the next decade. Dyestuff and intermediates industry in India grew initially as import substitution. (Source: http//www.chemixcilgov.in/pane(2.asp) 

 

 Indian Scenario: 

 
 The Indian dyes and dyestuff industry is made up of around 900 small scale units and 50 large organized units and produces around 80000 tonnes of dyestuff per annum. Two western states, Maharashtra and Gujarat (Chiplun to Mehsana belt), account for over 90% of dyestuff production in the country. India's share in the world market is estimated at 5-6%. The main products which the small scale sector concentrates are reactive dyes, acid dyes and direct dyes, while large companies mainly concentrate on Vat, disperse dyes, pigment dyes, etc. The industry achieved the growth rate of more than 15 per cent during the last decade and emerged as the second largest producer of dyes and dye intermediates in the Asian Region. 

 
 The Indian Dyestuff Industry can realistically aim to realise about 10 per cent of share of the world market in the next five years. Considering that the dyestuff industry can realise $ 2 billion by the year 2010 and on the basis that half of value production is exported, it would mean tripling of present level of exports in the next five years. Indian Dye Industry is gearing itself to be a global player, both due to its own intrinsic strengths and also due a change in the circumstances of industry giants in developed countries. The developed countries have begun sourcing their supplies from the developing countries on account of economical considerations and growing production costs. Germany, U.S., Japan, Switzerland and the U.K. account for two-thirds of the world production of dyestuff of 85,000 tonnes. Today, the share of the developed countries in world production of dyes has come down from 65 per cent to 50 per cent and is likely to go down further as countries like China, South Korea, Taiwan and India emerge as large producers. 

 
 The major markets for Indian dyestuffs are the European Union, U.S.A., Indonesia, Hong Kong, South Korea and Egypt. The U.S. takes almost 20 per cent of India's exports. China is the closest rival with a more competitive price but poorer quality of product. 

 
 A changed Scenario - Windfall gain for Indian Dyestuff Companies: 

 
 Recently India has a windfall opportunity to increase its market and particularly its exports also because of a peculiar development in China. Chinese government has withdrawn an export incentive it used to gave to exporters of China which was a refund of about 15 to 17% value added tax (VAT) on the exported Dyes from China. This cancellation of export incentive has made Chinese dyes costlier by 15% to 17% in international market. This has uplifted the prospects and earnings for Indian Dyes Manufacturers and Exporters. 

 
 Now, Indian Companies not only compete in terms of quality but also in terms of cost. 

 
 There is a supply shortage of dyes and dyes intermediates due to decline in export form China, while its demand is increasing by the day. At present, Chemicals Industry players believe that many more players in the industry will take the expansion route as demand of dyes and dyestuff is on the rise. 

 
 All these factors have brightened the prospects for Indian Dyestuff manufacturers in both domestic and export market. 
 
 Export Potential: 

 
 Today Indian Dyestuffs are being exported to East, South and West Asia, Africa, USA, European Countries, of which US alone accounts for almost 20%. From a meager export of 1.5 million US dollar in 1963-64, export during 1979-80 reached a level of 35 million US dollar and has touched over 1.30 billion during the year 2007-08. The domestic dyestuffs industry plans to target export turnover of $2 billion by the year 2010, raising its global market share from 6% to 10%. The prospects for exports have increased due to reduced flow of material from China as mentioned earlier. 

 
 Bodal Business Overview and Market Identity:

Excluding majority of captive consumption this plant will add total turnover of the company by about 800.000 Millions. 

 
 Beta Naphthol Plant and Acid Plant projects are part of their Backward Integration strategy for improvement in profit margin. 

 
 Financial Performance Review - 2007-08: 

 

 The Year Bygone: 


 The year 2007-08 has been a hat-trick year. Yet again, since amalgamation of Bodal Chemicals Private Limited  with the company, for third time it has surpassed previous year's performance on all fronts. Turnover and other Receipt at Rs. 4160.400 Millions registered a growth of 61.16% over the previous year. Earning Before Interest, Depreciation and Taxes (EBIDTA) touched Rs.420.000 Millions, a whopping 107.40% increase over the previous year. And finally the bottom line, Net Profit rose by 56.22% over previous year to Rs. 174.500 Millions. Exports grew by 53.42% to Rs. 2008.100 Millions and constitute 49.59% of the total sales. The company, today exports to over 25 countries in almost all continents of the world. 

 
 The company paid an interim dividend of 20% and a final one at 5% has been proposed for the approval. 
 
 The Year anon: 


 The current year has started equally promisingly and baring unforeseen circumstances, seems to be going to start a run for and become 1st year of the 2nd hat-trick. The financial results declared for the first quarter 2008-09 on 30-7-2008, shows that the growth has been continued. Turnover and other Receipt at Rs. 1350.800 Millions for the 1st quarter of 2008-09 gives a 67.35% increase compare to same period last year. Operating Profit at Rs.129.200 Millions is 107.52% higher than for the corresponding quarter last year and Net Profit at Rs. 37.200 Millions is 50.36% higher than for the corresponding quarter last year. 


 The Company expects to book a turnover for the entire 2008-09 in range of Rs. 5500.000 to 6000.000 Millions and net profit in the range of Rs. 200.000 to 220.000 Millions. This is in line with the company's declared goal of achieving Rs.10000.000 Millions Turnover and Rs. 1000.000 Millions Net Profit in next three years. 


 
 THE COMPANY - CHALLENGES AND STRENGTHS: 

 
 The path to growth is never easy. Identifying Industry related challenges and utilizing their capabilities to overcome them are the key to success. Both as perceived by the management are as under. 

 
 Challenges: 
 
 The Indian Dyestuffs industry can realistically aim to realize about 10% of share of the world market in the next five years. Considering that the dyestuff industry can realize $ 2.6 billion by the year 2010 and on the basis that half of the value of production is exported, it would mean 300% of present level of exports in the next five years. With Chinese exporters in a fix with their costs increasing by 15% to 17%, it is an opportunity and a challenge for Indian producers to capture world market. 

 
Chemical industry is a volume based industry with very low value addition. Raw material for the chemical industry is very sensitive. Change in Raw Material Cost may have big impact on profit margins. 


 
 The future of the Industry is directly linked to the environmental protection policy of Government. Cheaper import from other Asian Countries and the impact of Exchange rate fluctuations. 

 
 Their Strengths: 

 
 The challenge lies in developing production processes which are lesser polluting and reduces effluents. Recycling waste into some usable products / by products will go a long way in making this industry a clean industry more nearer to a pharma industry: 


 
 a) They have adopted Backward and forward integration strategy and get the benefits by Cost saving by captive consumption of acetanilide and value addition by further processing into dyes and intermediates in their 20 years of experience in this line. 

 
 b) They have also opted by both organic and inorganic expansion of production capacities (by setting up new plants and by acquiring ready made units). 

 
 c) The company products are well established and accepted in domestic as well as world market (exporting about 50%) in over 25 countries for its, consistency, reliability, quality and timely delivery (CRQTD). 

 
 d) The dyes and dyes intermediate market growth is likely to grow at a high rate in view of the growth in the user industries like Textiles, Leather products etc. 

 
 e) Bodal is going to become within months, the Only company in India having fully integrated product range from Basic Chemicals to Dyes with widest range of Dye intermediates
