LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

The company was incorporated in the year 1939 at Kolkata in West Bengal having Company Registration Number 9800.

 

The hard times of company began in 1987-88 when the company started incurring losses. The losses started accumulating, as a result the BIFR declared the company as a sick unit. ICICI worked out a rehabilitation package for the company.

 

In 1994-95, the company managed to come out of the red, and wrote-off a part of its term loans by transferring the cement division to the Zuari Agro Chemical division. During the same year Subject earned foreign exchange worth Rs.236.700 millions of which export of goods accounted for Rs.66.700 millions. Company is negotiating a joint venture in collaboration with Hawa Machinery, Japan, which has been supplying technology to the company for the past five years.

 

In 1998-99, the company bagged a prestigious order from Noell Stahl-und Maschinenbau GmbH, Germany for supply of hydraulic gates and allied equipments to Kali Gandaki H E P project in Nepal, which progressed satisfactorily and is nearing completion.

 

The year has been an excellent year of growth and prosperity for the Company. The Gross Turnover at Rs.9371.800 Millions was higher by 97% compared to Rs.4761.300 Millions in the previous year. It does not include the value of free-supply inputs including steel and components of over Rs.2050.000 Millions provided to the Company by Indian Railways and other clients for some large value contracts. The compound annual growth of the Company's turnover has been more than 48% over last 5 years. 

 
The Gross Profit for the year (PBDT) increased by 127% to Rs.1095.800 Millions against Rs.483.700 Millions, and profit before tax (PBT) by 133% to Rs.1007.200 Millions against Rs.431.400 Millions in the previous year. The Net Profit at Rs.690.900 Millions was higher by 143% compared to Rs.284.800 Millions in the previous year, after providing enhanced Tax liability of Rs.309.900 Millions against Rs.139.100 Millions only in the previous year. The Deferred Tax Liability for the year has been created in the Profit and Loss Account in accordance with the Accounting Standard 22 'Accounting for taxes on Income', issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 

 
Consequent to the merger of Shree Export House Limited, Neora Hydra Limited and Evershine Merchants Private Limited in terms of an order passed by the Hon'ble High Court, Kolkata, effective from 1 st August, 2007, the Share Capital of the Company stands enhanced from Rs.103.258 Millions to Rs.110.783 Milllions. The aforesaid results for the year have taken into account the said merger. 

 
THE MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: 

 
The Management had taken a series of measures to encash the unprecedented opportunities thrown up by reforms in the Rail Sector, where it enjoys undisputed leadership over the years. These have started yielding result as reflected in the spectacular performance of the company during the year. The management has further intensified its efforts to build the Company's engineering strength and competitive ability to make a thrust in the area of hi-tech, new design and commodity specific wagons. Efforts are underway to fill the market niche in its other core competence areas through continuous development of infrastructure and forging new alliances with renowned multi-national corporations. 

 
The Management notes with concern the current inflationary spiral in the wake of oil price surge to over $ 120/bl, credit squeeze, world-wide food shortage, steep escalation in the cost of basic minerals, steel etc. It is vigilant on all fronts and adopting a prudent course to safeguard its working from the economic uncertainties as best as possible. 

 
 HEAVY ENGINEERING DIVISION: 

 
 ROLLING STOCK: 

 
The Rolling Stock Division of the Company excelled in turning out the best-ever performance during the year, contributing handsomely to the operating results. There was a record turn-out of 4129 wagons (VUs) during the year as against 2843 wagons in the previous year, an increase of around 45% comprising deliveries to both Indian Railways and private operators. In recognition of its outstanding performance in the industry, the company was awarded the highest-ever order by the Railway Board for 2539 wagons against 2007-08 RSP Besides, the Railways placed additional orders on the company for 692 nos. comprising special wagons, optional quantity and certain wagons transferred from non-performers in the industry. Significantly, there is a progressive switch-over from conventional to special purpose wagons being procured by Railways. During the year, the company delivered 325 nos. Stainless Steel BOXNLW wagon to Indian Railways. 

 
There has been a steady flow of orders to the Company under Public Private Partnership (PPP) scheme of the Indian Railways. Altogether, the total orders booked by the Company during the year were for 6814 wagons, valued approx. Rs.11000.000 Millions including 3583 wagons valued Rs.7750.000 Millions from private parties. (It bears mention that the value of the Railway orders is exclusive of steel, wheelsets and bearings, which are supplied free of cost by Indian Railways). The Company delivered a series of Container Freight Rakes as also wagons for bulk transportation of alumina, food grains, caustic soda, etc. to private parties during the year. 

 
Recently, Indian Railways have floated a tender for procurement of 14412 wagons against 2008-09 RSP, which is due to be opened on May 29,'08. The Company hopes to get a substantial share thereof based on its performance in keeping with the tender conditions. 

 
According to the current projections, IR traffic is expected to grow from 794 mn tons in FY 2008 to 1 100 mn tons by the end of the current 5-Year Plan in 2012 . In the budget for FY 2008-09, there is a clear charter of Indian Railways to increase capacity for its 'bread and butter' freight business. The budget envisages investment of about Rs.750 bn over the next 7 years to augment capacity on a Dedicated Freight Corridor linking Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata, and the lines to and from the major ports. Coal accounts for 40% of freight revenues of Indian Railways, other major contributors being iron ore, steel, cement, container traffic, and foreign trade movement to and from gateway ports. The traffic in these sectors is slated to double by 2011-12. Hence, there would be a pressing need for adding capacity for freight. The company expects to play a pivotal role in the Indian Railways' new visionary moves. 

 
With a view to encouraging investment in modernizing and upgrading the designs, the Railways have announced a new policy for simplifying the process of certification and acceptance of new wagons to the builders' own designs, whilst protecting intellectual property rights of the suppliers. It is coupled with Wagon Leasing Policy and the Liberalized Wagon Investment Scheme to attract investment in special purpose, high capacity wagons. Accordingly, the company has geared to move fast forward in this direction, and as reported earlier it has already signed a Memorandum of Agreement with United Group Limited, Australia's largest end-to-end rail technology solutions provider.


 Coaches and Loco Components: 

 
 The Company is also embarking on the manufacture of EMUS and Loco Shells. The Railway Board has placed a trial order on the Company for manufacture and supply of one EMU rake valued at Rs.67.000 Millions. The planning for manufacture thereof is under way. Further, the Company has received a developmental order from Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW) valued at Rs.38.000 Millions for fabrication of 8 nos. body shells for WAG-9 electric locomotives. The preparatory work thereon has been taken up. 

 
HYDRO MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT and STRUCTURALS: 

 
The turnover for the year at Rs.600.000 Millions was marginally higher than that of the previous year. It would have been appreciably higher but for the constraints in execution, especially due to non-availability of working fronts from the civil contractors of the customers. The project work was generally affected owing to various geological, environmental, and re-habilitation problems faced by the Project Authorities. It is expected that there would be a substantial increase in turnover in the current year. 

 
During the year, the Division bagged an order valued approx. Rs.420.000 Millions for Loharinag Pala H.E. Project (600 MW) of NTPC in Uttaranchal, which is the first project the Company would be executing for NTPC in hydel sector. 

 
The year marked completion of the supply of hydro-mechanical equipment and successful commissioning of 510 MW Teesta Stage-V H.E. Project in Sikkim. The Project Authority, NHPC Limited, has formally acknowledged the Company's performance under 'Challenging Circumstances' and conveyed compliments and congratulations to the Company's team. The work on Sewa Stage-II H.E. Project (120 MW), J and K, is nearing completion, while that on Teesta Low Dam H.E. Project (132 MW), West Bengal, is progressing satisfactorily. In the prestigious Subansiri Lower H.E. Project (2000 MW), Arunachal Pradesh, the progress is on schedule. 

 
Since power continues to be a major constraint in achieving double digit growth of the economy, the Government of India is according high priority for development of hydel power in the 11th and 12th 5-year plans. NHPC, which is a nodal organization of the Government of India for fulfilling the target, has announced its plan to become a 10,000 MW firm by the end of the 11th Plan from its current capacity of about 5,000 MW. The Company is ideally placed to participate in this high growth sector. 

 
The division is also exploring the possibility of diversification in Ship Cranes and Shipbuilding, and Railway Bridges, which have good business potential. 

 
 PROCESS EQUIPMENT DIVISION: 

 
The Division achieved a turnover of approx. Rs.400.000 Millions It has executed orders of Cane Milling Plant of size 39'x78'and also High Pressure Boiler of 90 T/Hr. capacity, having Pressure of 67 Kg/cm2 at 510 degree Celsius Temperature. The supply and erection of 3 Nos. Horton Spheres of 16.18 M. Diameter for Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) have been completed. Orders for 3 Nos. large size Buffer Vessels, each of 3.2 M.

Buffer Vessels of different sizes which would be executed in the current year. 

 
 STEEL FOUNDRY DIVISION: 

 
The Foundry achieved the highest-ever production of 19792 tons and turnover of Rs.1734 mn, which are 47% and 33% higher respectively compared to the previous year. It has maintained its leadership in the supplies of steel castings for manufacture of Rolling Stock. The working of the new State-of-the-Art Foundry equipped with Kunkel Wagner Plant from Germany has fully stabilized. 

 
The quality of castings produced in the new Foundry meets international standards. Its reputation is gaining world-wide recognition, and there has been a stream of export enquiries. In fact, the Division has booked some export orders for High-Tech Castings and already exported two pilot batches of casting, one to USA and other to Australia. 

 

The Company is actively working on expansion of the new foundry and has also undertaken modernization-cum-expansion of the old foundry. It is expected to be completed by the middle of 2009, which will raise the capacity of the foundry to 40000 tons per year. 


During the last quarter of the year, there has been a steep escalation in the cost of major inputs for steel making which has put the margins under pressure. 

 
 AGRO MACHINERY: 

 
During the year, the Ministry of Agriculture, Govt. of India, enforced requirement of a new Emission Certificate (Bharat Trem-III) for Power Tillers. This resulted in disruption of the off-take, which was 254 Nos. only valued at Rs.21.700 Millions. However, the new Emission Certificate has since been acquired, and the Division is well-poised to receive good orders in the current year. 

 
 MINI HYDEL POWER: 

 
The Company's JV for 3 MW Mini-Hydel Power Project on river Neora in Darjeeling Dist. has been merged with the Company as per approval of the Scheme of Merger by the Hon'ble High Court of Kolkata, effective from 1 st August 2007. The project has been facing certain problems on account of inadequate water discharge during the lean/semi-lean season (October-May) and also technical issues relating to the turbines supplied by M/s Alstom. All efforts are being made to resolve the problems before arrival of Monsoon to be able to generate full power during the peak season. M/s WBIDC have granted the capital subsidy of Rs.25.000 Millions to the Company under the State Subsidy Scheme for Mini-Power Project, and the amount has since been received by the Company in the current year.

The exports of the Company during the year were approx. Rs.3150.000 Millions. The first export shipment of hi-tech Industrial and Railway Castings from the new State-of-the-Art-Foundry started during the year to renowned buyers in USA and Australia. The approval of AAR for export of Cast Steel Bogies for wagons is expected to be received in the next couple of months. 

 
 REAL ESTATE: 

 
The decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India on the legal issues relating to Birla Mills Land at Delhi is still awaited. The hearing has been completed, and the decision has been reserved which is expected to be announced in due course. The development plans of the property will be undertaken after the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.
