FURTHER INFORMATION
HISTORY
Subject the flagship company of the Deepak Group of
Companies, started with the manufacture of an import substitute chemical -
Sodium Nitrite in 1972. Today it is a multi product company with a diversified
product portfolio manufacturing basic and intermediate chemicals, Colourants
and Imaging Chemicals Intermediates, Agrochemical Intermediates, Pharmaceutical
Intermediates, Rubber Chemical Intermediates, Chemicals for the Refineries,
Cosmetics etc.
Subject manufacturing facilities at different locations in the Western part of
India. The company manufactures Inorganic, Organic and Fine and Speciality
chemicals. There are two units in the state of Gujarat and three units in the
state of Maharashtra. The Inorganic Chemicals are produced at one of the facilities
in Gujarat while the Organic and Fine and Speciality chemicals are produced at
the other facilities. One of the facilities is devoted to the activity of
Hydrogenation and Reductive Alkylation. Each of the facilities has DCS
controlled operations.
The company's technological growth has been achieved through its In-house
Research as well as assistance from premier Research Institutes like the
University Department of Chemical Technology, Mumbai, National Chemical
Laboratory, Pune, Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad as well as
Projects and Development India Limited, New Delhi.
Subject has a global presence in over 20 countries, including USA, European
Union and East European nations, Japan, ASEAN countries, South Korea and South
America. The company foresees a quantum leap in export turnover through Custom
Manufacturing for the specific needs of the end users and the manufacture of
high-value, speciality products either based on its own end products or
developed especially for the user. Subject has been ranked amongst the top 500
Body corporate by Dun and Bradstreet for the last three years.
With an investment of Rs.13 million the company began its operations with a
fully indigenous Sodium Nitrite and Nitrate plant at Nandesari, Baroda. The
acquisition of Sahyadri Dyestuffs and Chemicals brought into its fold a unit
for dyes, organic intermediates and fine chemicals in 1984. Guanidine nitrate
and hydroxylamine sulphate, vital ingredients for the drug industry, were
introduced in 1988-89. To intensify exports, subject set up a new division,
Deepak International in 1989.
To diversify into nitroaromatics and allied products in technical collaboration
with Biazzi, Switzerland, the company tapped the market with a rights issue in
1991. It proposed to produce a range of nitroaromatics like nitro
chlorobenzene, ortho nitro chlorobenzene, para nitro toluene, ortho nitro
toluene, ethyl hexyl nitrate and other nitrated esters which find application
in dyes, pharmaceuticals, Defence, agrochemicals, etc.
1999-2000, the Taloja Chemical Division and Sahyadri Dyestuffs and Chemicals
Division received a prestigious certificate under ISO 9002 from KPMG Quality
Register to its current range of products. The company having achieved the
Export House status showing a growth of 13% over the last year and hence
received a Merit Certificate by the Indian Chemical Manufacturers Association
(ICMA) in the category of export of chemical products
The company sucessfully completed a Public Offer to the Aryan Pesticides
Limited (APL) and thereby acquired about 8% of the paid up capital of APL. APL
is engaged in the manufacture of intermediates for agrochemicals and dyestuffs.
In 2002-03, the company acquired the additional equity in Aryan Pesiticides
Limited which stands at 76.92%.As a result Aryan Pesticides became subsidiary
of the company
During April 2004, Aryan Pesticides Limited has been amalgamated with the
company and according to the scheme of amalgamation, shareholders of Aryan
Pesticides Limited will get One Equity Share of Rs.10 each of Deepak Nitrite
Limited for every Five Equity Shares of Rs.10 each held in Aryan Pesticides
Limited.
During 2005-2006, the company is in the process of relocating/shifting its
manufacturing activities of Sahyadri Dyestuffs and Chemical Division located at
Sinhagad Road, Pune in view of the environmental considerations.
The companies’ production capacity of Aromatic Amines expanded during the year
from 9600 MT to 12600 MT and Dinitrosopentamethylene Tetramine expanded from
600 MT to 1800 MT.
REVIEW
OF THE YEAR:
The Company recorded an increase in turnover of around 20 %. However the
operating margins were under pressure due to steep increase in prices of major
raw materials and inability to proportionately increase the selling prices of
its products due to the market conditions. The export turnover registered a
growth of 12% over the last year, from Rs.1702.700 Millions to Rs.1897.300
Millions. The profit before tax for the year was Rs.379.000 Millions registering
a growth of 85% compared to Previous Year. However, the profit for the current
year includes non-recurring income of Rs.298.500 Millions on account of sale of
factory plot of land located at Singhagad Road, Pune.
ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS OF DASDA
DIVISION FROM VASANT CHEMICALS AT HYDERABAD:
During the year, the Company acquired DASDA business of M/s Vasant Chemicals
Limited, a closely held Company based in Hyderabad, effective 1st
August 2006 on a 'going concern' basis, for a consideration of Rs.550
Millions.
The said division has been named by the Company as 'Hyderabad Specialities
Division.' It has one of the best chemical processes for manufacturing DASDA,
the environmental standards practice being amongst the highest in the industry.
The quality of DASDA is also amongst the best in the industry worldwide. The
major competition, volume wise, is from China.
DASDA accounts for 50% of PNT market worldwide and 80% in India. The Company

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND RECENT DEVELOPMENT:
The company has
a fairly diversified portfolio grouped under three business segments: Inorganic
Intermediates, Organic Intermediates and Fine and Specialty Chemicals.
The Inorganic
Intermediates contributes about 13% of the total sales turnover. Sodium Nitrate
and Sodium Nitrite are far the most significant products of this segment. The
Company commands a leadership position in the market with about 70% market
share. The industry structure has not changed much over several years.
Relatively large investment for minimum economic size of operation has been the
key deterrent. Besides, strong market position enjoyed by the Company hardly
leaves enough space for the new entrant.
The Organic
Intermediates forms about 61% of the Company's sales. Within the segment, nitro
chloro benzenes (NCB), nitro toluenes (NT), para cumidine (PC) and xylidines
(XLD) constitute the bulk. The NCB industry has undergone a structural change
in the recent past. Though the domestic industry did not witness any major
shift, there were large capacity additions in China. Even in NT business
segment the competition seems to have intensified.
The Fine and Specialty Chemical division is characterized by low volume and
knowledge intensive products. Close interaction with the market place and
realignment of product portfolio is the key to the success in this
segment.
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS:
The competitive
pressure has left most businesses with little option but to shift the
production base to a location where it makes most sense. While China enjoys
competitive advantage in products where scale of operations holds the key to
the success, India continues to hold an edge in knowledge-intensive niches. The
momentum in favor of Contract Research and Manufacturing opportunity has only
intensified. The company has significant strength in R&D capabilities and
strong customer base. It provides a great opportunity for growth.
The Company
needs to judiciously balance its product portfolio to avoid such threat and
leverage on its technological advantage and value-selling to enhance its
competitive edge.
SEGMENT-WISE PERFORMANCE:
(a) Inorganic
Intermediates: The turnover of this segment declined by about 10%, i.e. from Rs
610 Millions in the previous year to
Rs.550 Millions during the year. The operating margins were lower compared to
the previous year. There was an abnormal increase in the prices of ammonia
during the last quarter of the year, having a significant impact on the
margins.
(b) Organic
Intermediates: This segment has been a mixed bag during the year. While the
sales registered a growth of about 7% compared to the previous year, there was
significant drop in margins. The increase in sales was largely on account of
xylidines. The NCB business came under severe price competition from Chinese
manufacturers. It has adversely affected the size of domestic market for NCBs.
The prices of key raw materials, i.e., benzene, toluene and cumene were quite
volatile. On the postitive side, the xylidines business has done well.
(c) Fine and Specialty Chemicals: The turnover of this segment has almost
doubled largely due to turnover from DASDA business acquired from M/s.
Vasant
Chemicals Limited. DASDA forms a key intermediate for Optical Brightening
Agents which goes into paper, textile and detergent industry.
This business
has enjoyed long years of preferred-vendor relationship with large
multi-nationals. DASDA accounts for about 50% of PNT demand world-wide. This
would help in strengthening of value chain of NT business.
However, the
operational margins of this segment are under pressure.
The agro
intermediate requirement was significantly lower due to the seasonality of
business thereby lowering the net realization.
OUTLOOK:
The outlook for
Inorganic Intermediates is stable. With the objective to bridge the gap between
the Companies’s cost structure vis-&-vis the competition, the Company is
planning to switch to more cost effective power and steam options. It would
help in consolidation of the Company's position in the market.
The commodity
segment of Organic Intermediates division is likely to face stiff competition
from China and margins are under pressure. They are evaluating the feasibility
of upstream and downstream integration to have integrated value chain as a
potential source of competitive advantage against China. In parallel, they are
evaluating alternate products for better utilization of assets.
The outlook for
niche products in the segment remains challenging. The Company expects to
consolidate its position to retain market share. In addition, the Company is
making progress towards developing more value added applications or derivatives
for long isomers like ONT.
The Company has
taken up several Continuous Process Improvement initiatives to improve
productivity, and competitive position of Fine and Specialty segment. The
Company has taken initiatives to derive better value from by-products which is
likely to bear results in the near future.
