With the implementation of this line the company now has a total capacity of 86000 tonnes for Bopet film.  

 
In August 2005 the company increased its metallising capacity by 14000 TPA to 26000 TPA at its plant in Nashik, Maharashtra. The company also proposes to install two line of 7000 TPA by September 2006. The company has already commissioned 4500 TPA capacity to manufacture PVDC, Acrylic and LTS Coated films, at Nashik. A second line with same capacity is likely to start by February 2006. 

 
During March 2005 the name of the company was changed from Jindal Polyester Limited to Jindal Poly Films Limited

 


BUSINESS

The company is also producing specialty polyester partially oriented yarn like cationic bright triloble, bright triloble, bright cationic dyeable and dope dyed (coloured) polyester partially oriented yarn. At present the company is producing polyester partially oriented yarn from circular and warp knitting in various shades and deniers. 

 

The company is also specialised in the production of specialty resin like bright, white opaque, milky white, cationic and other additive loaded chips. 

 

INDUSTRY

Good domestic demand, improved operating margins of the POY manufacturers in last 2-3 years alongwith easy availability of cheap second hand POY manufacturing equipments have attracted many down stream texturisers to backward integrate into manufacturing POY. None of the large manufacturers are likely to undertake any green field expansions. Existing domestic POY manufacturers are going in for capacity additions, modernisation and de-bottlenecking. The total addition in capacity is likely to be to the tune of 0.6 million tonnes in next 2 years. 

 

The domestic demand for PET films was good and all PET film producers produced at higher than the rated capacities. Exports from India maintained a growth of over 12% compared to the previous year and the current year should see growth of over 20% with almost every PET film consuming country choosing to buy from India.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS 

 

Overview: 
Subject is a leading producer of flexible packaging films. The Company operates the world's largest single location facility for flexible packaging films at Nashik, Maharashtra and employs modern technology to produce high quality products. 

 
Industry, Structure and Developments 

 

Flexible Packaging Film: 

Flexible packaging typically includes materials such as plastic films, paper and aluminium foil. Over the years, BOPET Film and BOPP Film (forms of plastic-based flexible packaging film) have become the preferred choice for packaging consumer articles including food and clothing. Besides such films, Jindal Poly Films also offers a range of metallised and coated film products to its customers. 

 
Subject is the leading producer of flexible packaging films in the country. The Company also maintains a strong presence as a key exporter to several countries. Flexible packaging film follows a business-to-business model, supplying base film to key converters/processors - who in turn sell the value added product to customers. 
 
BOPET Film 

BOPET Film is a versatile product broadly classified according to thickness of the film. Thick Films (50-350 microns in thickness) find application in photographic/X-ray, electronics, printing, textile, pre-press and office supplies, motor insulations and document lamination. Thin Films (10-36 microns in thickness) are used in metallic yarn, cables, transformers, capacitors, audio/video tape, hot stamping foils, release films, labels, decorative ribbons and labels. 

 
Jindal Poly Films has a capacity to manufacture 86,000 TPA of BOPET Film. 

 
BOPP Film 

Better moisture retention properties render BOPP Film more suitable for food products like snack foods, biscuits, pasta, dried foods and meat.

 

Further, BOPP Film also finds application in wrapping cigarette cartons, ready-made garment bags, adhesive tapes and print lamination. 

 
The market for BOPP Film in India, unlike the rest of the world is underdeveloped. There exists a popular low quality, cheap alternative in the form of TQPP (Tubular Quenched Polypropylene Film). Growing preference for premium and sophisticated packaging however is driving growth in Asian economies such as India and China with increased availability of BOPP, TQPP is being fast replaced by BOPP. 

 
The Company has presently three lines in operation for BOPP Film at Nashik, Maharashtra: 

 
* 13,000 TPA, 6.6-meter wide, three layer line

* 32,000 TPA, 8.2 meter wide, five-layer line

* 45,000 TPA, 8.2 meter wide, three-layer line 

 
Metallised Films 

Vacuum deposition of Aluminium on Pet and BOPP films increase the barrier properties of such films. Besides flexible packaging metallised Pet films is used for metallised yarn. Metallised BOPP is widely used for gift wrapping. The Company has a total metallising capacity of 40000 tpa. Two new Metallizers with a combined capacity of 14,000 tpa have been commissioned during the year. 

 
Coated Films 

 

PVDC coated BOPP and Pet films are used in the flexible packaging industry.

 

Subject is the only company in India to offer this product. The Company has a capacity of 4500 tpa to manufacture PVDC, Acrylic and LTS coated films. 

 
Polyester Chips 

Subject has the in-house ability to manufacture polyester (PET) chips as per the product requirement, for its BOPET Film business. The Company has installed capacity of 93,800 TPA at Nashik, Maharashtra to produce PET chips.Polyester Yarn 


The Company has a Partially Oriented Yarn (POY) facility at Gulaothi, Uttar Pradesh. This business has witnessed continued weakness in margins and the operations has been suspended. 

 
Opportunities and Threat 

BOPET Film 

A perceptible volume shift in the consumption of BOPET film has been noticed in the high consumption areas of USA, Europe and Japan. Converting operation from these high cost areas are shifting to Asia in general and China and India in particular. Whereas production capacities in the matured markets of USA, Europe and Japan are declining, large growths are being witnessed in Asia where capacity increase is continuing. 

 
In the short term, growth of the business will be export driven with Asian producers encashing on the declining capacities in the developed world.

 

However, the long term scenario would indicate that the domestic growths in Asia would dominate polyester film usage with major shift in converting operation to Asia. 

 
BOPP Films 

The global BOPP industry is dominated by China which accounts for nearly 40% of the global capacity and consumption. The capacity utilization in China has been around 70% forthe last few years. The Chinese market itself is growing at an average rate of around 8% p.a. 

 
It is also observed that Chinese cost is increasing compared to previous years largely due to reduction in subsidies. This has allowed prices of Subject 's products to increase both in the domestic and international market. 

 
The domestic market is enjoying good growth mainly driven by the fast replacement of TQPP by BOPP and aided by the growth of the flexible packaging. 

 

Segment Performance 

 

Flexible Packaging Film 

The flexible packaging business continues to expand with FY2008 segmental revenues of Rs. 14093.500 millions (Rs. 11212.600 millions last year). In value terms, the domestic sales grew by 25.7% .Demand visibility particularly in BOPET Films remains intact with prices demonstrating signs of increase.

 

Trends in the BOPP Film and High value added Film market also remain healthy. 

 
OUTLOOK 
Flexible Packaging Film 

India continues to lag the world in usage of flexible packaging film with one of the lowest per capita consumption rates globally. Nevertheless, the momentum from applications in packaging continues to be strong driving growth in both BOPET Film and BOPP Film markets. The growth is also driven by an increase in the export of flexible packaging laminates from India as converting operations are shifting from Europe and USA to India. 
 
BOPET Films 

As much as 80% of the sales of BOPET Film can be attributed to applications in packaging. Rapid economic growth being witnessed in India and China is creating larger opportunities for the use of flexible packaging film in consumer products, hot stamping foils, metallic yarns, telecom and other electrical applications. The Asian region is expected to account for 60% of worldwide BOPET Film sales over the next two years expanding at a rate of 12%. Meanwhile, estimated growth for thin films in the global markets is at 7%. 

 
BOPP Films 

The BOPP Film market in India is increasing mainly on account of greater prevalence of modern format retailing and higher preference for hygienically packed, convenient forms of food articles amongst customers.

 

Moreover, the replacement of TQPP Film is expected to intensify with lowering of cost differentials with BOPP Film, better availability of superior quality BOPP Film and creation of novel application areas for BOPP Film. Growth in Indian demand for BOPP Film over the next few years is being projected at 20% compared to 7.5% globally.

 

Risks and Concerns 

 

Input costs 

The largest component of costs involved in making flexible packaging film is attributable to raw materials. The PET chips used to make BOPET Film as well as the polymers that go into producing BOPP Film are derived from petroleum. 
 
Given the continued hardening trend in crude oil and demand for polymers for competing applications the pressure on input costs can be expected to continue. Flexible packaging film makers have thus far been able to pass down these costs to end consumers and are expected to do so in the foreseeable future. 

 

Financial Performance 

Subject reported a 25% increase in gross revenues from Rs.11293.100 millions to Rs. 14093.500 millions driven exclusively by its flexible packaging films business. Other income during the period was at Rs. 196.400 millions. 
 
Sales in the domestic market improved 36.5% to Rs. 10451.800 millions. The Company continues to develop the BOPP Film market. Exports during FY2008 were at Rs. 3641.800 millions as against exports of Rs. 3639.400 millions in last year. 

 
Despite increase in the rate of interest in general, interest cost were lower at Rs. 140.800 millions (Rs. 175.500 millions in FY 2007) due to better working capital management. The Profit Before Tax stood at Rs. 1939.100 millions. Subject had Net Profits of Rs. 1325.800 millions in FY2008 giving an EPS of Rs. 47.19. 

 

Performance Highlights: 

 

NEW PROJECTS: 

The Company's 2 new wide width Metallizers with a combined capacity of 14,000 tpa have commenced commercial production from March, 2008. The total capacity of Metallizers is now 40,000 tpa. The implementation of 2 new BOPP Lines (Line 4 and 5) with capacity of 45000 tpa each is proceeding as per schedule and shall be operational during the current financial year i.e.

2008-09. 
 
With the growing demand of BOPP, the Company has decided to further expand the capacity of the BOPP by installing 1 (one) more new BOPP Line (Line 6) with a total capacity of 40,000 tpa. The Company has also decided to install one more Polyester Film line (BOPET) with a capacity of 25,000 tpa alongwith Mettalisers and Coating Film Line. These expansion projects will have the capital outlay of Rs. 5000 millions approx. which shall be financed by way of ECB, Term Loans and internal accruals. After all the expansion plans are implemented, the Company will have BOPP capacity of 2,20,000 tpa and Polyester Film (BOPET) capacity of 1,11,000 tpa. The expanded capacity will be operational in a phased manner in next 2-3 years.

press releases

ISSUE OPEN FROM 9TH JUNE 2005

 

Jindal Poly Films Limited (the “Company”), a part of the Rs. 15000 million B.C. Jindal Group, manufactures flexible packaging films namely BOPET films (polyester films), BOPP films (polypropylene films) and metallised films. It also manufactures and sells POY and makes polyester chips for captive consumption. The films are used in labels, adhesive tapes, food packaging, consumer products and textile products.

 

Jindal Poly Films is launching its follow-on public issue aggregating upto Rs.3000 million through the book building route to fund its expansion plans, details of which are set out in the red herring prospectus dated May 25, 2005 filed by the Company with the RoC (the “Red Herring Prospectus”). The issue opens on June 9, 2005 and closes on June 15, 2005. The price band for the Issue shall be decided by the Company, in consultation with the BRLMs atleast one day prior to the issue opening date and shall be advertised in Business Standard (all editions), Jansatta and Amar Ujala (Kanpur Edition). Bid cum Application Forms shall be available from the Company, BRLMs, the Syndicate Members and the Sub-Syndicate Members.

Jindal Poly Films acquired Rexor S.A.S, a French company, in November 2003 to gain access to a broad range of advanced metallised and coated film production technologies, which can be used in Jindal Poly Films’ cost-efficient production facilities in India.Additionally, the acquisition has strengthened the Company’s European distribution network.

 

DEG – Deutsche Investitions-und Entwichlungesgesellschaft, one of Europe’s largest development finance institutions, has recently invested in the Company and currently holds approximately 9.5% of the equity share capital.

 

In fiscal 2004, the Company had unconsolidated net sales of Rs. 5422 million and unconsolidated net profit before taxes of Rs. 801 million.

 

The Company’s focus is on being an integrated packaging films solution company. It is competitively positioned and offers a full range of thin and thick BOPET film and BOPP film products required by large flexible packaging converters (who buy and process the Company’s products for distribution to end-users).

 

From being a producer of only polyester yarn in 1985, the company diversified into BOPET film production in 1996. In 2003, the company commenced production of BOPP films and metallised films and now plans to commence production of coated films, at its plant at Nasik by July 2005. The capabilities to produce value added products have been strengthened by the acquisition of Rexor which produces metallised and coated films for applications such as tear tapes, hot stamping foils, security threads and other high-value products for specialized technical applications.

 

The Company’s plant at Nasik, Maharashtra is the largest single location plant in India for the manufacture of flexible packaging films and, it believes, amongst the largest in the world. Following the installation of the new BOPET film line in March 2005, the Company is stated to have the fifth largest BOPET film manufacturing capacity in the world.

 

Jindal Poly uses the latest state-of-the-art wide-width BOPET film and BOPP film manufacturing lines. Its 8.2 mtr wide 5-layer BOPP film line, installed in February 2005, is capable of producing speciality films which command higher margins.
