LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Operations

The Company, during the year under review, leveraged global opportunities to achieve another year of sustained growth. Sales grew by 28.44% over the last year to Rs. 18246.800 millions; profit before tax (PBT) grew by an even more impressive 50.85% to Rs. 2323.100 millions, inclusive of foreign exchange gain of Rs. 334.300 milloins. The Company's efforts to build a global client base is aptly reflecte.d in its export performance, with the current year's export sales of Rs. 6417.100 millions, showing an increase of 62.64% over last year.

 

A detailed note on the performance of the company for the year under review is given in the 'Management Discussion and Analysis', which forms a part of this Directors' Report.

 

Strategic Initiatives

As a part of its initiatives to unlock shareholder value and capitalise on growth opportunities through wholly owned subsidiaries. Garmenting, domestic retailing, international business and infrastructure would be managed in these subsidiaries; the parent company would continue with Spinning, Apparel Fabrics, Home Textiles and Polyester Yarn manufacturing.

 

Garmenting:

 The garmenting business shows significant potential, and, in order to capitalise on this opportunity, the Company proposes to hive off its current garmenting division into a separate wholly-owned subsidiary. This would take over and increase the current garmenting to a level of 22 million pieces; subsequent enhancement of capacities would be undertaken through a 'step-down' model with

joint venture partners.

 

Domestic Retailing:

During the year, Alok has started operations in the retail segment. 'H & A' is a unique concept store, where Alok sells not only garments but home textiles as well - all under one roof. The Company today has 14 'H & A' stores in major metro cities and plans to roll out 500 stores within the next 3 years. The range of products includes fabrics, garments, embroidered fabric, 'salwar kameez dupatta' (SKD) sets, saris, bed linen and terry towels.

 

International Business:

AIIL has acquired a 60% stake in Mileta a.s., a company based in the Czech Republic manufacturing high end yarn dyed shirting fabrics, handkerchiefs, table linen, batistes and damasks. AIIL has the option to raise the stake to about 80% over the next five years.

 

AIIL has also signed an exclusive license agreement with New York, NY headquartered AISLE 5, LLC for its portfolio of lifestyle brands like world, Cotton + Clay etc. Under this multi-year license, the Company has the rights o manufacture and distribute Bath, Sleeping, Dining And Home Decor textile products specifically: sheets, pillow cases, blankets, duvets, robes, bathmats, towels, table linens, decorative pillows through supermarket retail stores in the United States and Canada. This provides a unique opportunity for the Company to participate in building of a new and large channel of distribution in the USA.

 

Infrastructure: AIPL is setting up a Textile SEZ in Silvassa and is awaiting the final approval from Government of India in this regard. AIPL has also acquired following properties: (i) Office premises admeasuring around 575,000 square feet at Lower Parel, Mumbai in an office complex called 'Peninsula Business Park" being developed by Peninsula Land Holdings Limited at the erstwhile "The Dawn Mills Limited";

 

(ii) Office premises at Ashford Centre admeasuring about 57,000 square feet at Lower Parel, Mumbai being developed by Ashford Universal.

General Overview

2006 was a year of broad-based global economic growth among both developed and developing countries. Despite some early signs of a possible slowdown in the first quarter of 2007, the USA grew its GDP by 3.3% in 2006. Led by Germany and Spain, the Euro Zone achieved a smart turnaround and closed 2006 with 3% growth. Even Japan seemed to have decisively come out of a decade of deflation s— and grew by 2.3% during 2006.

 

Asia's growth rate was significantly higher. Led by China's 10.7% GDP growth, developing Asia recorded a growth rate of 9.4% — it's highest in the last 10 years. With China expected to maintain the same scorching pace in 2007, and India to grow at a forecasted rate of 8.5%, the economic situation for Asia looks positive.

 

India's had an excellent economic performance over the last few years. In 2006-07 (or FY2007), India achieved GDP growth of 9.4%, which followed 9% growth of the previous year. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of the last four years is now over 8.6%. The worry about rising inflation has now abated. Outward direct investment from India is also growing- a sign that Indian corporates are keen to and have the required financial muscle to invest in other economies. Some estimates predict that in 2007-08, India's outward FDI may exceed its inward FDI. Buoyant tax revenues have contributed to a steady reduction in overall fiscal deficit. Although interest rates hardened considerably throughout FY2007, there are signs that the period of credit and money supply tightening is coming to an end.

 

According to most economists, India is poised to grow at around 8.5% in FY2008.

 

Industry Overview

This environment of global and Asian growth has also contributed to a growing trade in textiles and clothing, which has been increasing at around 6% per year over the last five years. With the removal of quotas since 2005, global textiles and clothing trade is expected to grow at the same annual rate - from USD 480 billion in 2005 to USD 650 billion in 2010, accompanied by an increasing shift in favour of relatively lower-cost Asian producers.

 

In quantitative terms, India is the second largest producer of textiles and garments, after China; and it is also the world's second largest cultivator of cotton. Textiles contribute to 17% of the total Indian exports and to approximately 4% of the GDP. Clothing accounts for approximately 50% of the total textiles business. USA, the EU, Canada, the U.A.E., Japan, Saudi Arabia, Republic of Korea and Turkey are major importers of Indian textiles. With a re-imposition of quotas on China by the USA and the dismantling of weaving, spinning and processing facilities in the USA and in the EU, the growth in exports from India is expected to continue.

 

In FY2006, India's textiles and clothing exports grew by almost 22% to USD 17 billion. With the right kind of investments in the industry, it is quite possible for textiles and clothing exports to grow at an annual rate of 20% over the next five years.

 

India's domestic textile market has grown at a 4-year CAGR of 6.4% to USD 34 billion in 2006. Apart from the overall growth in the economy, the growth in domestic textiles demand has been-fuelled by: (a) increased retail penetration; (b) higher disposable incomes;

 

(c) Increase in the number of nuclear families; and (d) growth in tourism and healthcare, which, in turn, has generated higher demand for the home textile segment. The domestic market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9%. Investments for 2006 have been estimated at USD 6 billion, an increase of 71% over 2005. These have mainly been used for increasing production capacities. The industry is becoming more organised and favouring large-scale manufacturers. Indian firms have also been investing in companies located in developed economies.

India can be a significant global player in textiles. However, for it to do so, some challenges need to be addressed.

 

• Creating economies of scale.

Overseas buyers prefer to source from large manufacturers that can quickly deliver changing designs and high volumes; this 'speed to market' is a function of large capacities and high production efficiencies. With China as a large-scale exporter at one end, and the low-cost, low-margin Asian exporters at the other, Indian textile exports can grow only if the volume and delivery capabilities are enhanced. If the Government of India's target of USD 45 billion exports by 2010 is to be achieved and the industry size is to reach USD 95 billion, it is estimated that the textiles industry will need USD 30 billion of investments. With USD 6 billion of investments in 2006, the signs look positive.

 

• Meeting infrastructural constraints.

India ranks behind developed and other Asian countries in infrastructure development, especially road and port facilities. Also, the high cost of power and its intermittent supply creates production bottlenecks. With a growing emphasis on infrastructure development and the industry's increasing self-reliance on power generation, this is an area, which is being fast addressed.

 

• Technology absorption.

Though rapidly improving, a low proportion of Indian looms are shuttle-less, and the majority of India's total cloth production and processing is in the unorganised sector. Technology absorption on a pan-industry basis will be dependent upon the larger players being proactive in absorbing newer technologies and ramping up production efficiencies.

 

• Human resources. A shortage of skilled 'textile specific' people is going to be a hurdle to growth unless concrete measures are undertaken to plug this gap. Stringent labour laws also make it difficult for flexible employment generation.

 

Sales of the Company grew from Rs. 14207.000 millions to Rs. 18246.800 millions representing a rise of 28.4% over the previous year. Growth in total income was 30.6% over last year, on the back of a Rs. 334.300 millions gain in exchange difference while repaying External Commercial Borrowings (ECB). This exchange difference income was generated through appropriate hedging strategies adopted by the Company, while taking into account a repayment of JPY 11.8 billion loan. Net material consumption as a percentage to sales went down to 57.2% in FY 2007 from 59.7% in FY 2006; thus reflecting greater cost efficiencies through the backward integration initiatives and better realisations. Increases in capacities and production facilities have also brought about increases in people needs. As stated earlier, Alok's headcount as on 31 March 2007 was 9,116 as against a headcount of 6430 in 2005-06. This has contributed to the increase in manpower costs by 71.1% from Rs. 280.400 millions to Rs. 479.700 millions. Manpower costs as a percentage to sales also increased from 1.9% to 2.6%.

 

Operating profit before depreciation, interest and taxation (Operating PBDIT) grew 36.4% over last year to Rs, 410960.000 millions in FY 2007. Taking into account extraordinary income by way of exchange gain of fls. 334.300 millions, the Company's overall PBDIT grew by 47.5% to Rs. 4443.900 millions in 2006-07.

 

Overall borrowings grew from Rs. 2,1445.000 millions in 2005-06 to Rs. 33367.600 millions in 2006-07, representing an increase of 55.6%. Consequently, interest costs went up by 33.3% from Rs. 667.800 millions in FY 2006 to Rs. 890.400 millions in FY 2007. Interest Cost as percentage to sales also increased to 4.88%, as compared to the previous year's figure of 4.70%.

 

Alok's gross fixed assets have grown to Rs. 29542.000 millions a growth of 39.2% over the previous year's figures of Rs. 21218.900 millions. This has been due to capitalisation of the Phases I & II projects and capital work-in-progress of the Phase III projects. Consequently, depreciation for the year has also increased by 52.9% over the previous year to Rs. 1230.400 millions from last year's figures of Rs 804.800 millions.

 

• In spite of higher interest and depreciation charges, profit before tax (PBT) of the Company grew 50.9% over last year to Rs. 2323.100 millions. Excluding the extraordinary income of Rs. 334.300 millions, the Operating PBT was Rs. 1988.800 millions, which represents a healthy 29.1% growth over the previous year.

 

Alok's overall tax impact for the year has increased by 50.6% over the previous year from Rs. 447.900 millions to Rs. 674.500 millions, which is mainly on account of an increase in current and deferred taxes and is in line with the Company's increased profitability.

 

Profit after taxes (PAT) rose to Rs. 1648.600 millions in FY 2007, an increase of 50.9% over last year. In pure operating terms (excluding the post-tax value of extraordinary income), PAT has increased to Rs. 1351.800 millions an increase of 23.8% over last year.

 

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has revised its Accounting Standard 15 (AS-15) regarding the method and items to be considered for charging as unclaimed employee benefits (medical, leave travel assistance and other encashable leaves).

 

The Institute has also recommended a change in the method of computing the actuarial value of such future transactions. Although recommendatory for 2006-07, Alok has voluntarily complied with these recommendations.

 

Till the end of March 2007, the division had generated exports worth Rs. 841.400 millions, which represents 4.6% of the total revenues of the Company. Exports have been to Pakistan, China, Canada, Portugal and Vietnam. China and Turkey are expected to be important markets for this division. In the domestic market, Alok plans to address the yarn requirements of 'premium segment' fabric manufacturers.

 

Apparel Fabric

Apparel Fabric as a business is segregated into two major sections - weaving and knitting, both with back-end processing facilities. Alok's fabrics cater to international labels as well as to the top Indian exporters.

 

Weaving

Alok commenced weaving operations in -1991. Today, the Company's two units at Silvassa and Dadra have 1,160 looms (598 wider width looms; 564 apparel width looms), with a total capacity of 102.7 million metres - the largest shuttle-less weaving capacity in India. Alok manufactures a wide range of apparel width fabric - from coarse weaves to superfine weaves including plain, twill, drill, jacquard, satin and dobby. The Company is now focused on manufacture of value-added yarn dyed fabrics and trouser fabrics.

 

The removal of the quota system last year has thrown up major opportunities for India - especially in the garment export market. To cash in on these opportunities, Alok is expanding its weaving capacity for apparel fabrics by a further 288 looms with an additional installed capacity of approximately 25 million metres.

 

Knitting

Alok, which started its knitting operations in 1997 at Silvassa, currently has 171 machines, with a total installed capacity of 16,800 TPA. The knitted fabric is used for Alok's in-house demand for garments; it is also supplied to garment manufacturers for the domestic and the export markets.

 

With the clothing culture changing from a formal to a more casual look, even in office-wear, the knits business is expected to show" significant growth in both menswear and ladies' garments. Alok has, therefore, planned a major expansion in capacity.

 

Processing

Indian garment exporters had always faced a shortage of high quality processed fabrics (both knit and woven). Alok addressed this issue by setting up modern, eco-friendly textile processing units in Navi Mumbai and Vapi.

 

The Navi Mumbai unit has a capacity of 22.5 million metres p.a. of cotton/viscose woven fabrics and 3,000 TPA of cotton knitted fabrics. The Vapi unit is the largest processing unit in the country, with the widest range of processing capabilities. It has a capacity to produce 60 million metres p.a. of 'wider width' fabrics for home textiles as also 60 million metres p.a. of 'normal width' fabrics, which are mainly sold to garment exporters who.are vendors for internationally acclaimed labels. Additionally, the Vapi unit has capacity for processing 13,800 TPA of knitted fabrics and 3,000 TPA of yarn

dyeing.

 

The abolition of quotas has provided the fabrics business further scope for growth. The Company, therefore, is adding further processing capacity across all its product lines. Alok is also in the process of adding a 6,700 TPA terry fabric processing line, which is expected to start operations in FY 2008.

 

To bring designs and samples to fruition within the shortest possible lead time, Alok has also added a facility for textile designing and sample weaving. This allows the Company to develop design concepts in-house, as well as quickly translate a customer design into a sample.

 

On an overall basis, the division grew at 23.2% over last year to Rs. 8968.200 millions. The woven business grew 20.6% from Rs. 6661.000 millions to Rs. 8033.000 millions. Although currently occupying a relatively smaller share of the 'business pie', the knitting section showed 62.2% yearon- year growth to achieve Rs. 790.000 millions of sales. Knits are expected to grow substantially in the near future and contribute to a larger of the apparel fabric business. Alok has been actively looking for opportunities for inorganic synergy, one of which is the Mileta acquisition.

 

The Mileta acquisition

In April 2007, Alok acquired 60% of the equity of Mileta; a 'top of the line' integrated textile entity situated in the Czech Republic. Mileta is one of the largest totally integrated textile enterprises in Europe. The company manufactures handkerchiefs, shirting fabrics, table linen and bed linen, brocade, damask, batiste with satin checks. It also produces jacquard handkerchiefs for Africa. Mileta exports 90% of it's production to Europe, North and South America, Africa, Middle East, Far East and Australia, employs about 550 employees and has a turnover of USD 30 million.

 

Mileta brings four major advantages to Alok: (a) product know-how for producing high-value added fabrics; (b) product and design development support; (c) access to Mileta's markets, distribution chain and customer base; and, lastly, (d) the acquisition of Mileta's internationally recognised brands (Mileta, Erba, Cottonova, Lord Nelson and Wall Street), which would be introduced to both the Indian and International markets.

 

The Company has also been actively exploring new markets and developing new product categories for value-added apparel fabrics.

So far, Alok has focused on the garment exports sector for its apparel fabrics. Alok has been also exploring avenues for growth in the emerging apparel fabric segments, among which are the following.

 

° Work-wear, encompassing industrial work-wear fabrics and garments: overalls, boiler suits, protective clothing, water resistant /fire retardant clothing, high visibility fabrics, etc. The Company is finding encouraging response from this area.

 

High value fashion fabrics. Alok is currently exporting exclusive 'branded' fabrics with proprietary designs and pre-committed volumes to European designers and design firms. These fabrics fetch considerably higher realisation per metre due to the exclusive nature of their prints and designs.

 

• Defence and institutional wear. These are jungle prints for the armed forces, supply parachute fabric, flame retardant and infrared retardant fabrics. This is a large volume business, driven through the 'tendering' process. Alok is in preliminary discussions and evaluation with the purchasers of such fabrics.

 

Alok believes in the sustainability of raw material resources, development of ecologically friendly products and supporting the farmer through fair trade practices and prices. To that effect, the Company has been at the forefront of manufacturing fabrics and garments out of organic cotton: an alternative that is not only more environment friendly but is also the way of the future. Major global buyers are increasingly shifting to 'organic cotton' products, for which they are willing to pay a premium. Alok has already been supplying organic cotton fabrics to global suppliers and converters for global garment labels. The Company wishes to increase its volume of organic cotton fabrics, and is also actively assisting farmers to transition to growing organic cotton. In fact, Alok already as an exclusive tie-up for buying approximately 175,000 bales of organic and 'fair trade' cotton: a move that would actively boost the 'organic cotton' initiative.

 

Home Textiles

Alok's is a leading player in this segment with a present capacity of 60 million metres per annum. The Company is currently India's largest producer and exporter of bed linen. India's shipments on the home textiles front have increased through the years - especially cotton textiles - and the Company feels that this segment is a major growth area, both in the domestic and in the international markets. Alok is, therefore, scaling up its capacity to 82.5 million metres per annum by the end of FY 2008, through the addition of one more continuous processing line and 378 looms.

 

Alok is also adding a terry towel manufacturing facility of 6,700 TPA at Vapi, which is expected to commence production by the end of FY 2008

 

The home textiles segment contributes 18.3% of the total revenues of the Company. Export sales grew by Rs. 241.700 millions in FY 2007, representing a growth of 8.1% over the previous year. In the export market, the Company has notched up some impressive achievements during the last year. During the previous year, Alok has

emerged as amongst the largest global exporter of bed-sheets to the US markets. Alok has also introduced 'top of the bed' lines into the export market. The Company has also been working with clients for ongoing replenishment programmes, which would allow long-term production planning. In order to interact with retailers and purchasers at their point of convenience, Alok has also opened an office-cum showroom in New York, USA.

 

Though the US is a major export market, Alok is also exploring opportunities in South America, Europe and Central European nations. The domestic market also offers significant growth opportunities for the Company's products.

 

Garments

Opportunities for growth in the garments business has been increasing, thanks to the removal of quotas and the growing acceptance of Indian garments manufacturers as suppliers of quality products at competitive prices. Looking at this, Alok entered this segment, with an initial capacity of 1 million pieces per annum. The current capacity of 8 millionvpieces per annum is being enhanced to 15 million pieces p.a. at Silvassa by FY 2008.

 

Alok manufactures knitted and woven outerwear garments - mainly ladies' tops, children wear and some menswear items. Over a short period of time, Alok has developed strong customer relationships with big 'fashion label' houses and retailers. These garments are designed according to the latest fashion trends and often according to specific designs mandated by the buyer  Alok's garments business is driven through exports, though a small volume is now being sold through its in-house retail channel (about which we shall discuss in a separate section). During FY 2006-07, the garments business grew 94.7% over last year, reaching a value of Rs. 290.300 millionss. Although this growth is on a small base figure, garments export is an area where Alok sees profitable business opportunities. Being a preferred/nominated supplier of apparel fabrics to international garment manufacturers, retailers and brands, the approval process for garments would become easier and faster.

 

80% of Alok's garment exports are sold in the EU countries, with the balance 20% to the USA. Alok has established 'supply relationships' with large retail chains in these markets. As a strategic initiative and as a measure to accelerate growth in this segment, the Company proposes to spin off this division into a 100% subsidiary. Alok expects that this move will enhance shareholder value as well as sharpen operational focus. The subsidiary would also be involved in enhancing capacity through joint ventures using a 'step-down' model.

 

POY & Texturising

Alok's partially oriented yarn (POY) and texturising units are situated at Silvassa. The POY unit has a capacity of 54,000 TPA. The unit produces a wide variety of POY including 'high value-add' micro-filament yarn, most of which is used in Alok's draw texturising yarn (DTY) plant, with a small part of it being sold to third parties. Conversely, a small amount DTY is used in-house; most of the material is sold in the domestic and export markets.

 

The production of man-made filament yarn is approximately 1,180 million kgs per annum with a CAGR of 9.11% over a decade. There are a number of small spinning units who cater to the market; however, Alok is second largest player in the country in DTY production.

 

The Company feels that the demand for DTY will be on an upward curve in both the international and domestic markets; Alok plans'to exploit this opportunity by increasing capacities over a period of time. Concurrently, the backward integration into POY has helped in cost reductions and improved margins for the division. Alok is also looking at manufacturing Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) chips and enhancing POY capacity through the continuous polymerisation (CP) route to 182,500 TPA.

 

As on 31 March 2007, Alok had a 75,500 TPA capacity for texturising. Expansion of the texturising capacity to 118,000 TPA is already in the pipeline, which is expected to complete by the second quarter of FY 2008.

 

In FY 2007, this division grew 30.4% in value terms to Rs. 4801.000 millions, mainly due to a large growth in export sales. During the year, Alok exported DTY to Latin America, Bangladesh and Turkey. Focus on exports also helped in gaining greater margins per tonne. As a result of its impressive growth, POY & Texturising increased its overall share of total revenues from 25.9% in FY 2005-06 to 26.3% in FY 2006-07.

 

Alok is looking to open up market opportunities for DTY in the East and Central European nations, and increase export volume of POY and DTY to the Middle East and North Africa.

 

Export Geographies

In FY 2007, 35% of Alok's revenue in its various divisions came from exports. This section analyses Alok's business by geographies. The share of export revenue as a percentage to total operational revenue increased from 27.8% to 35.2%. This export growth is testimony to the growing stature of Alok in the world market as a quality supplier of textile solutions. Chart B represents the distribution of Alok's business into domestic and export.

Alok sells its products to more than 50 countries across the world. The comparative geographical spread of business during FY 2006-07, vis-a-vis the previous year is represented in Chart C.

Alok has adopted a strategy of expanding its footprint into different geographies. Though the US remains an important market for its products, the Company is also exploring opportunities in Latin America, Central Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Russia. The Mileta acquisition fits in well with this strategy. Mileta's plant in the Czech Republic would become a European manufacturing base for 'top of the line' fabrics (especially in shirting); the acquisition also opens up high value clients in Europe, Africa and Japan.

 

New Horizons

Retail

During the year, Alok has started operations in the retail segment. 'H & A' is a Value for money' retail format, where Alok sells garments and home textiles. The range of products includes 'ready to stitch' and embroidered fabrics, garments, 'salwar kameez dupatta' (SKD) sets, saris, bed linen and terry towels.

 

Till the end of FY 2007, 'H & A' set up ten stores - seven in and around Mumbai, and one each at Vapi, Pune and Bangalore. In line with the Company's strategy for growing its presence in the domestic market, the Alok will sell a part of its apparels and home textile products through this store brand. Organised retailing is projected to grow at an annual rate of over 25%, to reach Rs. 1000000.000 millions from its present level of Rs. 350000.000 millions. As a step towards becoming a significant player in this lucrative sector, Alok is strategically transferring this business to a 100% subsidiary. Alok expects that this exercise, while creating the right environment for rapid growth will simultaneously increase shareholder value. A By the end of FY 2008, Alok, through its subsidiary, plans to roll out about 100 "H & A' stores. The Company expects that, by 2010, with 500 stores in place, it would have achieved a pan-India presence and high consumer recall.

 

Brands

H&A Retail store in Andheri (West), Mumbai, and inside view of the shop. For the domestic market, Alok has signed a trademark license agreement with Peacock Alley, a premium manufacturer and importer ofmluxury bed and bath linens in the USA. Alok will market its premium category home linens range in India under the 'Peacock Alley' brand, with Peacock Alley providing the design and marketing inputs. These products would be available across all major departmental stores and exclusive MH8N* home textile outlets.

 

The Company is also in the process of introducing 'Wall Street' as a premium brand for men's formal shirtwear. 'Wall Street' has come into the Alok fold through the Mileta acquisition, and is to be launched shortly in the Indian markets.

 

Textile SEZ and real estate

Alok has promoted a wholly-owned subsidiary, Alok Infrastructure Private Limited (AIPL) for the development of a textile Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at Silvassa, spread over of 183.69 acres. AIPL has obtained an 'in principle' approval from the Government of India for this purpose and the final approval is expected shortly. In addition to leasing the SEZ to outside textile units, Alok also intends to put up a part of its operations at this location.

 

AIPL has also acquired two prime properties in Mumbai, with a total floor area of about 640,000 square feet. AIPL will actively pursue similar avenues for growth and value addition.

 

Expansion Plans: Phase IV

Indian textile exports have always been globally competitive, when compared on price and quality parameters. The major roadblock to growing the exports market has been the lack of capability to deliver large volumes within short lead times. If this is addressed, the Indian textile industry has the potential to become increasingly well-regarded as suppliers of quality products in the global market. Indian government, recognising this potential, has also encouraged investment in this sector by extending the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) till 2012.

 

Alok has identified the following elements as its key drivers to sustain its growth path and successfully compete in the global textiles space:

 

(a) Integration - both backwards and forwards - to create self-reliance, cost efficiencies and value addition at different steps of the textile chain;

 

 (b) Develop itself as a vendor offering 'integrated textile solutions' with design and product development support;

 

(c) Global production capacities for economies of scale; (d) low lead time to market; and (e) greater efficiencies in the production process. To ensure Alok's growth and to increase its market-share, the Company has been expanding and modernising its capacities.

 

As stated in last year's report, Alok had started implementing Phase III of its expansion drive, which includes increase of capacities in spinning, weaving and processing, garments and texturising. Large parts of the Phases I'and II of the expansion programme have now been commissioned and stabilised; the terry towel unit is likely to be completed by the end of this financial year, along with the Phase III expansions.

 

The Company now proposes to further increase capacity, by March 2009, in the following areas, as part of its Phase IV expansion.

 

Ring Spinning. The proposed increase of 100,800 spindles, translated to 9,750 TPA of production, would increase Alok's ringspinning capacity 30,000 TPA. This would then meet around 50% of its estimated future yarn requirements in-house. At the end of the expansion programme, Alok's spinning capacities of 30,000 TPA and 352,800 spindles is expected to be one of India's largest at a single location.

 

• Apparel Fabric

Apparel knit fabric. Knitted fabric shows strong demand both in the domestic and in the international market. To exploit this opportunity, Alok will expand its knit and knit processing capacities by 50,400 TPA to 67,200 TPA. This would make Alok one of the largest producers of knitted fabric in the world.

 

Apparel woven fabric. Alok is a market leader in the woven fabric segment. There is a growing demand in this segment and the Company wishes to strengthen its leadership position and, therefore, proposes to increase its processing capacities by 22.5 million meters.

 

By the end of FY2009, the Company would have, in addition to its terry towel fabric and yarn dyeing capacities, enhanced its processing capabilities to 82.5 million metres p.a. for wider width fabrics, 105.0 million metres p.a. for apparel width fabrics and 67,200 TPA for knits.

 

• Garments. Garments form an important segment of the textile value chain. The Company now wishes to add a further 1,000 machines with an installed capacity of 7 million pieces p.a. at its proposed SEZ at Silvassa. Post expansion, the garmenting capacities will move upto to 22 million pieces p.a.

 

• Made ups. Home textile products have a large market in Europe and the USA. Alok needs to grow its in-house stitching capacities to be able to fully match its 'wider width' processing capabilities. To that effect, it proposes to add a further 3.75 million pieces per annum in stitching capacity, thereby taking it to a total of 13.75 million pieces p.a.

 

• Power Plant. Alok's spinning, weaving, knitting and texturising plants, located at Silvassa, currently need about 30 MW of power; the demand is expected to double after the expansion. To cater to this rise in demand, de-risk the concern of power shortages and hedge against the possibility of rising power costs, Alok wishes to increase its current 10 MW captive power production to 60 MW. The new captive power plant would be a 'dual fuel' plant, using furnace oil or gas The total cost of these expansions is expected to be in the region of Rs. 11800 Millions; Rs. 9500 Millions of this would be debt-funded under TUFS and the balance would be met through internal accruals. After the completion of the Phase IV expansion, Alok would become a global sized player in each of its business divisions. Tables 14 and 15 list Alok's current and the increased capacities in various production areas.
