FURTHER INFORMATION
HISTORY
Subject was incorporated on
22nd June, 1967 at Panaji in Goa having company registration number
76.
Subject commenced
production of calcined petroleum coke (CPC) in July, 1995. The licensed
capacity was doubled to 0.1 million tpa in the year 1991 without any addition
of plant and machinery.
Subject is a part of Dempo
Group undertaking a diversification project.
In the first phase, a pig iron plant was installed at an estimated cost of Rs.
720 millions. The second phase
envisages setting up a Rs. 2500 millions plant for foundry-grade pig iron, and
alloy and special steel billets.
During the year 1996-97,
the cost of pig iron project was increased from Rs. 720 millions to Rs. 1000
millions due to additional cost of Rs. 100
millions for water supply scheme which is not envisaged earlier. The
company transferred the project to Aparant Iron and Steel Private Limited.
In the year 1999-2000, the
company has acquired wholly owned subsidiary company Vishwalakshmi Petro
Products Limited, (VPPL), a calcined petroleum coke manufacturing company at
Bilaspur in Madhya Pradesh by acquiring 100% equity share capital of the
company. The company's petroleum coke plant been accredited with ISO 9002
Certification by BVQI (Bureau Veritas Quality International) during the year
1997.
The company is trying to
improve the production efficiency of the plant by about 20% from existing
operational capacity and has achieved the optimum utilisation of
production. By acquiring Paradeep
Carbons Limited a Calcined Petroleum Coke the company can met the demand of
CPC. The annual production capacity of
Paradeep Carbons Limited is 125000 MT and the plant is located at
Jagatsinghpur, Orissa.
By acquiring 83.47% equity
share capital of Paradeep Carbons Limited (a Subsidiary Company) a Calcined
Petroleum Coke, the company can met the demand of CPC. The annual production
capacity of Paradeep Carbons Limited is 1,25,000 MT and the plant is located at
Jagatsinghpur (Orissa).
OPERATIONS:
The sales turnover of the Company for the year was Rs.2079.775 millions as
compared to Rs. 1851.821 millions (9 months) during the previous year. The production
of Calcined Petroleum Coke ('CPC') was 158383 Tonnes compared to 140413 Tonnes
(9 months) during the previous year.
The sales of CPC were 161424 Tonnes (including exports 56478 Tonnes) for the
year as compared to 157901 Tonnes (including exports 55892 Tonnes) for the 9
months of the previous year. The export turnover of the Company was Rs. 566.786
millions in the 12 months as against Rs. 582.696 millions in the 9 months of
the previous year.
ISO 9001 AND ISO
14001 COMPLIANCE:
The Company continues to enjoy ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 accredition by BUREAU
VERITAS.
ANNEXURE TO THE
DIRECTORS' REPORT:
Particulars with respect to conservation of energy etc. As per companies
(disclosure of particulars in the report of board of directors) rules, 1988.
|
(A) Conservation
of Energy: |
Goa Plant: |
Bilaspur Plant: |
Paradeep Plant: |
|
(a) energy conservation measures: |
Consumption of electrical energy per metric ton of Calcined Petroleum Coke
produced during the year was 17.53 kwh/MT of CPC as against 14.34 kwh/MT of
previous period (01-07-2006 to 31-03-2007). Electrical energy consumption per
metric ton of CPC produced was higher due to lower production during the year
i.e. 36538 MT as against 56501 MT of the previous period (01-07-2006 to
31-03-2007). Total electrical energy consumption during the year was 640373
kwh units as against 810236 kwh units of the previous period (01-07-2006 to
31-03-2007). A strict control on routinely maintaining power factor enabled
us to get maximum rebate of 29169 kwh units. |
Consumption of electrical energy per MT of Calcined Petroleum Coke was
21.90 units during the year. This higher consumption was primarily due to
non-continuous operation of the plant during the year. However, action plans
have been drawn to bring it down to 18 units per MT. |
The electrical energy consumption during the year 2007-08 was 14.95
kwh/MT of CPC as compared to 16.44 kwh/MT of the previous year. The cost of
electrical energy per MT of CPC was Rs. 75.10 as compared to the previous
year cost of Rs.81.03. The power consumption per MT has come down due to
installation of correct capacity motors in place of higher capacity motors,
maintaining high power factor, increasing the Specific Fuel consumption of DG
sets, installation of Energy Saver Panel for plant lighting, replacement of
high capacity Luminaries with low capacity etc. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b) additional investment and proposals, if any, being implemented for
reduction of consumption of energy: |
1) Fuel efficient diesel generator set has been procured and is being
installed whereby lower H.S. Diesel consumption will be achieved. |
It is proposed to carry out calcination process with the injection of
pure oxygen in the Kiln to reduce fuel oil consumption and to improve
recovery. Maximum demand supply from electricity board has been reduced from
200 KVA to 150 KVA, which will result in reduced power bills. |
The proposal to have an independent dedicated 11 KVA feeder line has
been kept on hold, once it is approved, then the final action will be
finalized. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(c) impact of the measures at (a) and (b) above for reduction of
energy consumption and consequent impact on the cost of production of
goods. |
Above steps will help to save 3% to 4% of electrical energy consumption
on current connected load. |
- |
The cost of energy is expected to be reduced after installation of the
independent feeder as planned. |
MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The main driving force for Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) would continue to be
the aluminium industry, the primary end user of Calcined Petroleum Coke that
accounts for 75% of overall consumption. The balance 25% is consumed by the
titanium dioxide, graphite and other metallurgical industries. Hence, the
fundamentals of Calcined Petroleum Coke pricing are based on the fortunes of
the aluminium industry. It is reported that growth of aluminium metal
production is expected to be in the range of 6% to 9%. There are number of
brownfield expansions happening and this will boost the demand of CPC.
The first 9 months of the year 2007-08 were challenging and a difficult period
for CPC producers in general and for GCL in particular, in view of the rising
raw material prices, ocean freight and also the Company's inability to pass on
the increased cost to the end user due to the fixed price contract entered into
with the overseas aluminium smelters.
During the 3rd quarter of the year 2007-08, GCL took a conscious decision of
not entering into long term fixed price contracts for supply of CPC to the
aluminium smelters abroad and as such CPC prices were quoted to the smelters on
spot basis. In addition to the above, CPC prices in India have also started
firming up and GCL got a resonable price increase not only from the aluminium
smelters but also from the steel industries. This resulted in good financial
performance for the last quarter of 2007-08. Considering all these factors, the
management is of the firm view that Petroleum Coke business is promising in the
long term.
RAW MATERIALS:
Raw Petroleum Coke (RPC) commonly known as Green Coke is the main raw material
for the Company. During the third quarter of the year 2007-08, the price of RPC
produced in India by Indian Refineries have gone up and now the price of
domestic RPC is in line with the price of the imported RPC. Since the delivery
cost of RPC from Indian refineries is prohibitive, the Company mainly imports
from Kuwait, China and other countries depending on FOB rates and freight rates
so as to produce Calcined Petroleum Coke at a competitive price in the market.
During the year 2007-08, the Company had entered into contract for the supply
of RPC with the overseas refineries to the extant of 48% of its requirement at
a competitive price. In addition to the above, the Company is making continuous
efforts to reduce delivered cost of raw material by exploring new sources of
raw material.
The performance of the Company during the year has improved despite
increase in FOB price of RPC and ocean freight, mainly due to better
realizations, proper inventory management, cost control measures implemented in
all areas and the rupee appreciation against the dollar.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:
Company's thrust is always on identifying new sources of raw material (RPC),
analyzing and evaluating its suitability for calcining, blending and optimizing
parameters of calcination to achieve quality and cost effectiveness. This
exercise is on going and carried out to ensure the availability of alternative
materials and blends on long-term basis. Alternative blends are test marketed
for acceptance by the existing and prospective customers.
HUMAN
RESOURCES:
The Company has qualified, well trained and experienced executives in various
disciplines required for company's business / operations. The Company on a
regular basis, undertakes various training programmes to keep its employees
updated on information and new technological developments, so as to achieve
cost effectiveness and optimum plant capacity utilization. The Company's
relation with the employees continues to be cordial. Your Company always
reciprocates commitments of its employees to motivate them towards good
performance.
