HISTORY:

 

Subject formerly Finolex Pipes, incorporated in 1981 a part of the Finolex group (FG) is the largest PVC pipe manufacturer in the country. It is also the second public venture of the FG after Finolex Cables (FCL). The company offers a wide range of PVC pipes and fittings suitable for diverse applications in agriculture, housing, telecommunication and for other segments of the industry.  

 
The company latter integrated backward to manufacture PVC resin which finds application in pipes, fittings, electric cables, packaging film, etc. For this the company came out with a rights issue to part-finance its project to manufacture 0.130 Million TPA of PVC resin at Pawas, Maharashtra. It also entered into a technical collaboration with UHDE, Germany, for licensing and technical know-how of Hoechst's process to manufacture PVC resin and provide basic engineering. 

 
The main raw material of the company is Ethylene Di-Chloride (EDC) apart from Ethylene. The company depends heavily on imported EDC for the manufacture of PVC. 

 
Finolex Polymers is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. Pipes division of the company has been granted Quality Systems Certification Licence as per IS/ISO 9002 by the Bureau of Indian Standards. The PVC plant of the company has undertaken work to obtain ISO 14001 (Environment Management System) certification. It has divested its holdings in Finolex Polymers, subsequent to this effect the Finolex Polymers has ceased to be a subsidiary of the company.  

 
The company has proposed to expand PVC manufacturing capacity at its Ratnagiri plant. It has already in the process of increasing the capacity PVC pipes at Ratnagiri. The company is also planning to increase 26000 mts p. a at Ratnagiri taking the total installed capacity of pipes to 52000 mts p.a. The Company is also proposed to expand its PVC capacity at Ratnagiri from 130 000 tons to 260 000 tons. In this regard it has signed agreements with OXY Vinyl, USA, Aker Kvaerner, Netherlands and with Udhe India Limited. The expansion project is progressing as per Schedule. Civil work is in the last stage of completion and more than 85% of the equipments have been ordered which are arriving as per schedule. 

 
In April, 2002 the buy-back of equity shares to the extent of Rs.553.945 million consisting 1,99,78,977 equity shares at average price of Rs.27.73 per share. It has also made a second buy back of 2829128 equity shares at average price of Rs.30.83 per share at a consideration of Rs.87.2 million.

Also KPMG Quality Registar (Accredited by the Dutch Council for Accreditation has approved company's Ethylene Terminal Facility for registration to ISO 9001:2000 and has issue a certificate of registration for the scope of port management for handling liquid and cryogenic cargoes. 

 

In the year 2004-05, the company has increased its installed capacity of PVC Pipes by 1450 MT. With this expansion, the total installed capacity of PVC Pipes has increased upto 59400 MT.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INTRODUCTION

 

The Company has just completed one more year of good growth. The gross income has shown a growth of 34%. 
 


FINANCIAL REVIEW

 
Both the divisions of the Company i.e. PVC Resin and PVC Pipes and Fittings have shown steady growth. However, the volatility in the raw material and currency markets has had an impact on the margins. 

 
The Company's operations continue to reflect the positive factors experienced by the Indian economy. The GDP growth was 9.6% during 2006-07 but has moderated a bit to 8.7% in 2007-08. Increased allocation by the Union Government on Irrigation, the higher growth experienced by the Construction Industry and a good monsoon during 2007-08 all contributed to increased demand for the Company's products. 

 

 

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK PVC RESIN BUSINESS: 

 
Backed by a strong growth in demand for the PVC Pipes, the PVC Resin demand in India has also seen a strong growth. No additional capacity for manufacture of PVC Resin was set up in India during the year whereas the demand has grown by almost 200,000 MT. As a result the demand / supply gap has further widened. 

 
The availability of raw material continues to be tight in the international market which has had impact on the Company's ability to fully utilize its capacity. The Company has signed Long Term Contracts for a substantial part of its raw material requirements. 

 
The Company is watching the international raw material situation very carefully. The rising Crude Oil price is a matter of great concern. 

 

 

PVC PIPES BUSINESS: 

 
The Company continues to maintain the leadership position in the PVC pipes business in India

 
The Company turned out a modest growth during the year. It is heartening to note that the growth has come from all segments of demand viz. agriculture, drinking water, plumbing and sanitation. This policy of diversified growth has helped the Company to reap the benefits of a growing Indian economy. 

 
The demand for PVC Pipes is expected to continue growing on the background of increased spending on infrastructure sector. The irrigation potential in India still remains largely untapped with more than half of the net cultivated area depending on rains. The India Government has increased its thrust on Agriculture and Rural Development. There are various Government programmes like Accelerated Infrastructure Benefit Programme [AIBP], Rural Infrastructure Development Fund [RIDF], Water Harvesting Schemes, Bharat Nirman Abhiyan etc. all of which are expected to give a boost to the demand of PVC Pipes and Fittings. 

 

 

FINANCE

 

The interest and finance charges for the year were Rs.303.193 million as against Rs.137.320 million for the previous year.

PROFILE:

 

In July 1945, two young brothers P.P Chhabria and K.P Chhabria came to Pune from Karachi in search of a livelihood and within six months set up a small shop selling electrical cables. The retail business became quite successful. A sizeable order in the mid 1950's from the Defence Department for wire harnesses for trucks and tanks bolstered their confidence and they decided to manufacture Cables, themselves.

 

Starting as a small-scale industrial unit in 1957, they manufactured PVC insulated cables for the automobile industry. Subject brand was born from "Fine" & "Flexibles" and "O" with an electric arc across it - signifying the electrical cable business the company was in. Their relentless search for growth and doughty perseverance saw them through some difficult times and in 1972 the enterprise turned into a limited company.

 

Since then, there has been no looking back and following a public offering in July 1983, Finolex Cables Limited embarked on a continuous process of expansion and modernization which enabled it to become the most diversified largest cable manufacturer in the country.

 

Their relentless quest for growth saw the brothers establishing subject in 1981. The company sought to manufacture Rigid PVC Pipes and Fittings at Pune, which find large-scale application in the agriculture sector. In a shrewd move towards backwards integration, the company has set up a PVC resin manufacturing facility at Ratnagiri on the west coast of India.

 

The early nineties saw the Finolex Group expanding into new business domains to manufacture Optic Fibre Cables and Copper Rods. Today the Group turnover exceeds Rs.20 Billion (about US $ 450 million)

 

FCL and FIL are the two group companies whose equity shares are listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange. Global Depository Receipts of FCL are also listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Professionally managed, with continuous updating of technology and strict quality controls, company strives for maximum customer satisfaction. Over the years, it has attained a significant position on the industrial map of India.

 

Subject is the largest PVC pipe manufacturer in India. The Pipes division of Subject is the first Indian IS/ISO 9002 manufacturer. Production capacity of the Pipes division is 40,000 metric tonnes per annum spread over its two ultra modern plants at Pune and Ratnagiri. Subject offers a wide range of PVC pipes and fittings, for diverse applications in agriculture, housing, telecom, industry, etc., ranging between 20 mm diameter to 400 mm diameter. Subject also manufactures specialty pipes and fittings, namely SWR (Soil, Waste and Rain Water) pipes and fittings for construction industry. The Pipes division of Subject has won the PLEXCONCIL "Top Exporter Award" on five occasions.

 

Subject has commissioned its PVC plant near Ratnagiri (350 Kms. South of Mumbai) on the West Coast of Maharashtra State. Subject is one of the largest PVC manufacturers in India. The 130,000 metric tonnes PVC plant has been set up in technical collaboration with Uhde GmbH of Germany under technology licence from Hoechst AG. Subject manufactures suspension PVC as well as emulsion/paste PVC.

 

Subject's PVC plant enjoys many locational advantages, the important one being proximity to the market. Further, the Pipes division of Subject and Subject's associated concern consumes captively about 45,000 metric tonnes of PVC per annum; a distinct advantage available only to Subject.

 

As a part of its PVC complex, Subject has set up an open sea cryogenic jetty. The Finolex jetty is the first of its kind in the private sector in India. It is located near the PVC plant and is presently utilized for importing the feedstock for manufacture of PVC as well as for importing LPG.
