Press Release

 

ICRA assigns LA and A1 ratings to the bank lines of Indian Potash Limited

 

ICRA has assigned an LA (pronounced L A) rating, indicating adequate-credit-quality, to Rs. 2250 million fund based limits and A1 (pronounced A one) rating, indicating highest credit-quality in the short term, to Rs. 14350 million non- fund based limits of Indian Potash Limited (IPL).

 

The ratings reflect the company’s leadership position in the trade of imported fertilizers, its strategic importance as one of the ‘state trading enterprises’ for canalising urea, favorable competitive position arising from the pan India distribution network, scale and efficiency of its operations. The ratings also draw comfort from the favorable prospects for fertilizer imports due to declining self sufficiency in India, strong parentage, moderate financial risk profile and high financial flexibility. However, the ratings are constrained by the low trading margins intrinsic in this business, vulnerability of profitability to agro climatic conditions and regulations, its low capitalization levels in relation to the turnover and modest debt coverage indicators. Also, the company’s business has a high working capital intensity, which has resulted in large negative free cash flows in the recent past.

 

Company Profile

 

Indian Potash Limited (IPL) was incorporated as Indian Potash Supply Agency (IPSA) in 1955 for import, handling, marketing and promotion of Potash fertilisers. The company was initially promoted by private sector companies such as EID Parry, Rallis India and Shaw Wallace. On the recommendations of National Commission on Agriculture, the Government of India (GoI) expanded the equity base of the company with majority shareholding with cooperatives and Public Sector Fertilizer companies in 1970. Following this, IPSA was converted into IPL. Currently the co-operative and public sectors own 70.21% and 20.55% respectively in IPL, with IFFCO being the largest shareholder with 33.98 % stake. IPL is a state trading enterprise involved in the import and trading of fertilisers such as Muriate of Potash (MOP), urea, Di ammonium Phospate (DAP), and sulphate of potash (SOP), besides trade of indigenously produced fertilizers such as Single Super Phosphate (SSP) gypsum etc. IPL has also a marginal presence in production of cattle feed and milk processing with a plant in UP. During 2006-07, IPL achieved net sales and net profit of Rs. 60.76 billion and Rs. 340 million respectively. During the first nine months of 2007-09, IPL achieved net sales and net profit of Rs. 94.55 billion and Rs. 228 million respectively.

 

 

Indian Potash to import MAP at $478 per tonne

 

New Delhi, Oct. 2 Indian Potash Ltd (IPL) would be importing mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP) at $478 per tonne cost and freight.

 

This is $17 cheaper than the $495 per tonne that was fixed for the import of 1.5 million tonnes di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) in August.

 

IPL is the nodal agency which has been entrusted to import phosphatic fertilisers on Government account as nobody was willing to contract imports because of the high costs.

 

“MAP is an alternative fertiliser which can be used in case of the non-availability of DAP as both are perfectly interchangeable. And since we are expecting a shortfall of DAP for the coming rabi season we would be importing MAP at $478 per tonne cost and freight,” a senior IPL official told Business Line.

 

It is, however, not still clear as to how much of MAP would be imported for the ensuing sowing season.

 

“It is too early to comment on what the import shortfall will be with regard to DAP. So it is too early to comment on the quantity of MAP which would be imported,” an official in the Department of Fertilisers said.

 

DAP is a vital nutrient for root establishment of crops and hence has to be applied at the time of sowing. While DAP contains 18 per cent nitrogen and 46 per cent phosphorous, MAP has 11 per cent nitrogen and 52 per cent phosphorous.

 

“The import of MAP is also being done to diversify into the use of other fertilisers and not totally depend on DAP during the rabi season. Another reason is the strong stake of the US manufacturers in global DAP trade and the limitations this poses on the growth of alternative phosphatic fertilisers,” the official said.

 

The five major States that require DAP during the rabi season are Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.

 

Fertiliser use

 

The import price of MAP is $17 lower than the import price for DAP contracted in August.CCEA allowed inclusion of imported MAP under the concessional scheme for de-controlled potassium and nitrate fertilisers prospectively.According to official estimates Punjab requires 3.5 lakh tonnes of DAP to be met from imports, Haryana around 3 lakh tonnes, Uttar Pradesh 4.5 lakh tonnes, Madhya Pradesh 2.25 lakh tonnes and Rajasthan 1.5 lakh tonnes.Apart from the imports, the Government has also extended a few concessions to importers of MAP to reduce the country's dependence on imports of DAP. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs on Monday has allowed inclusion of imported MAP under the concessional scheme for de-controlled potassium and nitrate (P&K) fertilisers prospectively. The maximum retail price of imported MAP has been prospectively fixed at Rs 9,350 per tonne which is at par with DAP

 

Markfed ties up with Indian Potash for DAP Supply

 

Express News Service

 

CHANDIGARH, Nov 11: Markfed has tied up with the Indian Potash Limited for supply of additional quantity of 11,000 meteric tonne of DAP fertilizer in view of the increased demand.

 

According to an official press release, the fresh purchases of DAP would be made at a rate of Rs 8200 per meteric tonne as compared to previous rate of Rs 8000 per meteric tonne. But, the same would be sold to agriculture service societies at a rate of Rs 8,150 per meteric tonne, thereby incurring a loss of Rs 50 per meteric tonne.

 

This was being done as per directions of the Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal who wanted the agency to come to the help of farmers amidst reports of hoarding and black marketing of the DAP.

 

Till date, Markfed had supplied 1.76 lakh meteric tonne of DAP to agricultural cooperative societies and focal point societies in comparison to 1.08 lakh meteric tonne last year. The agency had already supplied 90 per cent of its planned quantity of DAP till date.
