LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History

 

A multi-product, multi-division and multi-location company, The Saraswati Industrial Syndicate manufactures crystal sugar, sugar plants, ingots and steel castings, pressure vessels and fabricates specialised items and hydraulic presses. 

 
The company had undertaken the expansion of the Titawi sugar factory and the Mawana sugar factory. In 1995, the company's Indian Sugar and General Engineering Corporation (ISGEC) was awarded the ISO 9001 certification by Lloyds Register of Quality Assurance, UK. 

 

In 1993, the company's subsidiary -- ISGEC Covema Plastics, was granted a letter of intent for setting up a 2500 TPA sugar plant at Kamoda in the Kurukshetra district of Haryana. The company exports to the UK, south-east Asian countries and to the eastern parts of Africa, west Asia and to the neighbouring countries. The company recently started exporting to Cambodia and Australia also. 

 
During 1998-99, the company has signed a collaboration agreement with an Italian Company, Belleli, for manufacture of High Pressure Reactors used in the fertiliser and refinery industries. 

 
Two major Press Lines were supplied to Krupp JBM Private Limited. During 1999-2000, which was a major achievement for the company as these were supplied in a record period of time. The company also supplied a high pressure and sophisticated Reactor to the Indian Oil Corporation, the order of which was booked by their Italian collaborator but the fabrication was done in the company's shops.

  
An agreement with M/s Foster Wheeler USA for transfer of latest Circulating Fluidized Bed Boilers technology was signed in 2000-01.The Company has got exports orders for Cupro Nickel and Chrome Ferrite Stainless Steel Heat Exchanges.

 


PLATINUM JUBILEE AND SPECIAL DIVIDEND: 


In January 2008 the company completes its 75th year of existence. It was in 1933 that the first of the Company's business ventures, The Saraswati Sugar Mills, came into being. As a mark of celebration and to convey gratitude towards shareholders, the Board of Directors recommend a Platinum Jubilee Dividend of Rs. 3 per share. This is in addition to a normal dividend of Rs. 7 per share. 

 

FINANCIAL RESULTS: 

                                                    (Rs. in millions)

  
Profit before Depreciation     Rs. 1207.000 millions

Depreciation                         Rs. 134.900 millions

Profit for the year                  Rs. 1072.100 millions

For the 5th year in succession, new for Sales, Profit as well as Order Booking were set. Sales were Rs. 12040.000 millions (previous year Rs. 9300.000 millions); Profits Rs. 1072.100 millions (previous year Rs. 674.300 millions). 

 

The Financial Results of the subsidiary company, Saraswati Sugar Mills Limited, were very disappointing because of the low sugar price combined with a high price of sugar cane. There was a huge surplus of sugar in India and international prices were also very depressed. No silver lining is seen in the current year as All India production is expected to be significantly higher than domestic consumption. The working of the factory, on the other hand, was exceptionally good. They crushed 219 lac quintals of sugar cane (previous record 203.23 lac quintals). 

 

  
OPERATIONS: 

 
In order to meet the growing demand for the company's products in India as well as abroad, substantial expansion was undertaken at the company's plants at Yamuna Nagar and Muzaffar Nagar.

  
The new plant at Dahej is likely to commence production by March 2008.

It is running about 3 month late because construction was hampered by heavy rains. This plant will manufacture heavier and bigger machinery than is possible at Yamuna Nagar plant. The new plant will cater substantially to the export market. 

 
The second office in Noida was started to handle increased business of Boilers and Sugar Machinery an a small design office has also been started in Chennai in October 2007. 


The overseas offices in Europe and North America are starting to bring in significant business. 

 
Export billing stood at Rs. 1450.000 millions (Previous year Rs. 1240.000 millions). 

 

Management Discussion & Analysis: 

 

The market for Capital Goods continues to boom. They are, however, facing stiffer competition in the export market due to appreciation of the Rupee. 

 
Company increased its Sales over the previous year by 29%. Order booking was also more and healthy increase in sales turnover is expected in the coming year. 

 
1. Segment Analysis and Review: 

 
a) Manufacturing of heavy capital goods: 

 

The items include Boilers, Pressure Vessels, Heat Exchangers, Hydraulic and Mechanical Presses, and Castings. Besides the manufacturing facilities located at Yamuna Nagar (Haryana) and Muzaffar Nagar (UP), they are also setting up another manufacturing unit at Dahej (Gujarat), which is expected to be operational by March 2008. The new facility will manufacture Pressure Vessels and other equipments heavier than they can presently manufacture at Yamuna Nagar. Since Dahej plant is located on the Coast, it will facilitate easier transportation of export orders, and also enable us to supply equipment faster to customers in They stern and Southern India. 

 
During the year, the Pressure Vessels business grew because of continuing boom in the Oil, Gas and Petrochemical sector around the world.

 
The Presses business grew because of expansion of capacity by its customer industry - Automobile Components. They also booked a prestigious Export Order for a large Press to be supplied to Germany.

 

The Steel Castings business continued to grow because of increased orders for complex castings from the Power Sector in India and abroad. The Iron Castings business is witnessing a temporary slump as some customers have deferred their expansion plans. 

 

Considering the increase in business in the product lines, they continued investments in increasing the capacity. 
 
b) Engineering Procurement and Construction Business: 

 
In this line of business, the company sets up Boiler units and Sugar plants. It also undertakes to commission these plants and takes guarantees for their performance and efficiency. 

 

The boiler business mainly supplies to industries like Sugar, Cement, Agro based (biomass) projects Steel, Metallurgical, Paper, Chemical & Textiles. They were able to book good orders from the domestic market as well as large orders from Export Markets. Order booking in Sugar Machinery business was dismal as the Sugar industry in the country is passing through a phase of excess production. 

 

1. Contingent Liabilities:

 

a) Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts (including sales tax under dispute) Rs. 71.576 millions (Previous Year Rs. 60.304 millions).

 

b) Guarantees furnished by the bankers on behalf of the Company for Rs. 2715.697 millions.* (Previous Year Rs. 2229.373 millions) and counter indemnity furnished by the Company to bankers for the same amount.

 

* Includes Performance Bank Guarantees given on behalf of subsidiary company Isgec Covema Limited Rs. 19.132 millions (Previous Year Rs.25.407 millions).

 

c) C Forms due against Sales Tax for the Assessment Years 1996-97 to 2004-05 Rs. 228.019 millions (Previous Year Rs. 107.315 millions.)

joint venture

 

Presses ISGEC France, SAS

 

saraswati industrial syndicate

 

The company is a Rs. 5000 millions, multi-product, public limited company, with interests in Boilers, pressure Vessels, Heat Exchangers, Hydraulic and Mechanical Presses, Steel and Alloys Steel Castings, Sugar Plant Machinery, Turnkey Project Services for Sugar and Industrial Boilers as well as production of sugar.

 

Established way back in 1933, the company started off by setting up the Saraswati Sugar Mulls at Yamuna Nagar in Haryana, India. It is one of India’s largest sugar mills, with a cane crushing capacity of 12,500 TPD.

 

The sugar plants and machinery division of the company was playing a vital role in the development of the sugar industry and is today, one of the major players in the world, having set up a number of complete sugar plants, internationally.

 

The engineering business of the company was by 1946, large enough to be spun off as a separate unit- ISGEC.

 

The fast developing market soon threw up opportunities that saw the company get into the manufacture and supply of Heavy Engineering products like Pressure Vessels and Heat Exchangers.

 

A spate of collaborations and technical tie-ups with world leaders like, A. F. Craig and Company, U.K., John Thompson, U.K. and acb-GEC Alsthom, France saw the emergence of ISGEC on the world scene. The company’s ongoing collaboration withs Foster Wheeler, U.S.A. has further strengthened its capacities.

 

1964 saw the emergence of Isgec John Thompson, originally a joint venture with John Thompson of U.K. Isgec John Thompson is today, a leading name engaged in the design, sales and construction of a wide variety of Boilers and associated equipment.

 

In 1981 the company took over Uttar Pradesh Steels, an Alloy Steel foundry based at Muzaffar Nagar, in Uttar Pradesh, India, established with technical know-how from Kobe Steel of Japan. UP Steels an ISO 9002 foundry, is internationally recognised and boasts of a client list including names like GE Hydro, Canada.

 

With products exported to as many as 41 countries, around the world, all product divisions of the company are today well established internationally.

OPERATIONS

 

The shareholders will be pleased to see the profit that has been reported.

 

Business has been exceptionally good during the year. Sales have been 42% higher than the previous year. The Board had reported that the order booking stood at a record level one year ago. They are happy to inform the shareholders that the record has been broken.

 

Expansion in capacities is being implemented to meet the new challenge.

 

Economic conditions in the country and overseas presented an opportunity, which the company was quick to seize. They also presented problems in the form of acute shortages and unexpected rise in prices of materials, both in India and overseas. Staff turnover also increased because of better job opportunities in the country and abroad, and manpower costs had to be increased sharply.

 

We had reported to you, a year ago, about an industrial relations problem. I am happy to report that the situation remained calm throughout the year and they hope that it will remain calm in the future also.

 

Export billing stands at Rs. 650.000 Millions. This was their total sales, domestic and exports, about a decade ago.

 

They have been increasing their presence in more and more countries. They have supplied equipment to 61 countries. New customers were found, during the year, in Chile and Honduras.

 

We have also received an order from a German multinational company to supply 2 Presses to their plant in China. They have earlier supplied a Press each to their plants in Brazil and India. They now have 3 customers in China.

 

Important export orders include two Bagasse Fired Boilers from Uganda and a Gas Fired Boiler from Bangladesh. They have recently also booked an order for. a Complete Sugar Plant in Kenya (after the close for the financial year).

 

Other important export

 

 The first orders for Steel Castings from GE, China; Siemens, Czech Republic; Toshiba Hydro,

Japan; Toshiba Power Systems, Japan and Alstom, Germany.

 

 The first order for Pressure Vessels from Chile.

 

The first orders for Chlorine Containers from Argentina, Iran and Honduras.
