LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

Incorporated in 1946 under the name Jagatjit Cotton Textile Mills and renamed JCT in 1989. The company was promoted by M M Thapar, the chairman and the managing director. The company is into textiles, filament yarn, steel and export trade. Subject’s subsidiaries are Gupta and Syal, Chohal Investments, Poly Investments and JCT Fibres. 
 
 In 1980-81, JCT entered into a technical collaboration with Zimmers, Germany, to set up a nylon-6 filament yarn plant at Hoshiarpur, Punjab, which was commissioned in 1982. A technical agreement was also entered into with E I Dupont, US, to set up a PSF plant. In 1990, Sterling Steels & Wires and Kidarnath Kishanchand (P) Ltd were amalgamated with JCT. One of the subsidiary, JCT Fibres, was amalgamated with JCT in Apr.'94. 

 
 During 1998, the company entered into a slump sale agreement with Polysindo Group of Indonesia for sale and hive-off its losing synthetic fibre business. It also commissioned its Wire Rope plant during the year, which has been well accepted in the market. 

 
 In 1999, it increased the installed capacity of synthetic filament yarn, polyester filament yarn, chips, steel wire, strand wires, wire rope, polyester staple fiber, partially oriented yarn and looms to 9000 tonnes, 6000 tonnes, 13500 tonnes, 45000 tonnes, 3000 tonnes, 9000 tonnes, 75000 tonnes 16500 tonnes and 1694 nos respectively. The company has replaced 120 NMM looms with 22 Airjet looms at Phargwara unit of textile division. This will definitely reduce cost of production and also enhance the quality of fabric.

 

 

 

OPERATIONS 
 
 During the year, the gross turnover of the Company comprising of Textile Units and Filament Unit was marginally higher by about 2% as compared to immediately preceding year. The previous year included the turnover of Steel Division also for two months which has since been hived off. Operational profit before depreciation and excluding the other income is higher during the year as compared to previous year. However, Net Profit before tax is almost the same as in the previous year.

 
 Textile Units 


 The production of fabric at Textile Unit at Phagwara was lower during the year as compared to previous financial year due to ongoing modernization programme, which required dismantling and re-locating some of the existing machinery resulting into loss of production. The margins, however, improved during the year on account of change in product mix. The 2nd CDR, which was commissioned during 2005-06, has helped the Unit to produce more dyed fabrics and cater to high end market segments of ready made garments and exports.

 
 Major investments were made in the Textile Unit at Phagwara including the setting up of a Greenfield 50,000 Meters per day Performance Fabric Unit based on Nylon and Polyester Filament Yarns. The fabric produced out of this unit will cater to Sportswear, Active-wear, Work-wear and other segments requiring Performance Fabric. With sampling under progress with some of the leading International Brands, the Plant is likely to come into full commercial production by October, 2007. 


 One-third of the total production capacities in the existing Plant at Phagwara catering to the low-end Domestic segments were old. This capacity is now being replaced with State-of-the-art Machines in Spinning, Weaving and Processing. This includes the addition of 20,000 new spindles, 82 Airjet/Rapier looms and another set of Pre-Treatment and Continuous Dyeing Ranges. With this, total production of export quality fabric would increase from 2 million meters a month to 3.2 million meters per month. All the machines under the Modernization Plan are expected to be commissioned by mid-August, 2007. After completion of the modernization, the unit will be totally focused on processed fabric which has better margins and is required by International Brands. 


 Under the Modernization-cum-Expansion Plan, the Company is adding another 50 Ton Husk Fed Boiler and simultaneously putting up an 8 MW Turbine. This would make Textile Operations at Phagwara almost self-sufficient for their energy requirement. The said 50 Ton Boiler and 8 MW Turbine are likely to be commissioned by end of December, 2007. 

 
 With the above investments, the profitability of the Textile Unit at Phagwara is likely to go up by almost 70%. 

 
 The working at Textile Unit at Sriganganagar, which was effected due to strike in the previous financial year, has been normal during the financial year 2006-07. However, as the machinery of the Unit is very old, the yarn and fabrics produced by it cater to low end market segments only, where margins are very negligible. 

 
 Recently the labour at the Textile Unit at Sriganganagar has gone on illegal strike. Management is in serious negotiation with the Labour Unions to sort out the matter on long term basis so that production is not effected due to their frequent strikes or go-slow tactics. 

 
 Filament Unit 

 
 The demand for Nylon Yarn continued to remain sluggish during the financial year. The product also faced competition from imports of yarn at cheaper rates. This resulted into under utilization of the capacities at the unit. However, the profit margins at the unit improved on account of better product mix, improvement in efficiencies of FDY production and commissioning of 6 MW power plant. The power plant is also eligible for carbon credit. 

 
 Looking to the sluggish market condition, the new investment for capacity enhancement was kept in abeyance. However, keeping in mind the objective of cost savings and improvement in the quality it is proposed to add new FDY lines and increase capacity of high value added dyed yarns along with other energy saving devices. 

 
 FINANCE 
 
 During the year, Company issued 2.5% Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCB) aggregating to US$ 30 million for financing the capital expenditure for the expansion and modernization of its operations. As per the terms of the issue, the bondholders have the option to convert the FCCBs into fully paid-up equity shares during the currency of these Bonds. These Bonds, otherwise, are redeemable on 8.4.2011 at a premium of 20.075%.

 
 Company has also been sanctioned term loans of Rs. 1.800 million by the consortium of banks under Technology Upgradation Fund (TUF) for the modernization cum expansion plans for the Company's Textile and Filament Units. To tide over the requirement of funds for capital expenditure, a short-term loan of Rs. 200 million from a Bank is being repaid out of the term loans sanctioned as aforesaid. 

 
 During the year the Company repaid the term loan instalments of Rs. 138.69 million. Zero Rate Debentures (ZRDs) of the value of Rs. 67.85 million were also redeemed as per stipulated terms. The Company is regular in repayment of loans/ redemption of debentures and interest due thereon to all the lenders/holders.
