LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

They achieved an increase of 11% in their cement and clinker sales volumes. However, cement realizations in their markets were adversely affected during the 2nd and 3rd quarter of the year under review largely because of disturbed situation in Andhra Pradesh. While prices started gradually improving during the last quarter, they were still to fully recover to the previous year’s levels. It is for this reason that their margins for the year have been lower than the previous year. Substantially higher volumes now available from their expanded capacity should enable them to achieve better results during the current year.

 

Their Electrical division achieved an impressive growth of 38% and its best ever profitability. They achieved full utilisation of their expanded capacity of 5 million fans during the year and are working on expanding this capacity further to 6 million units. Their 1st CFL production line, commissioned late last year, also achieved full capacity. In view of good market response, 2nd line for CFL has been ordered and should become operational during 2010-11.

 

However, their paper division did not perform to its potential as we lost production for 76 days during the year, due to pulp mill up gradation project as well as water scarcity. Regrettably, the production at the paper plant has been once again disrupted this year because of unprecedented water scarcity in spite of their having reduced our water consumption per ton of paper by 25%. As a long term measure to overcome this problem, we are now constructing large water reservoirs to store approx. 250 million gallons, which should be adequate to sustain around 2 months’ production. The upgraded fibre line which should result in significant cost savings and efficiency improvements will also become fully operational as soon as the plant restarts.

 

A detailed business analysis, review and operational performance of each of their business segments is covered in the Management discussion and analysis chapter, which forms a part of this report.

 

Overall review

 

Indian economy demonstrated its resilience and recovered much faster than other economies, from the setbacks suffered last year, to register an estimated growth of around 7.7% during FY 2010.

 

The recent finance budget has placed a lot of emphasis on inclusive growth with development of infrastructure, education and health services as its main pillars. This bodes well for their Country’s economy, which we believe will return to its growth path of over 8% soon. However, rising costs and inflation is a matter of concern and we hope that with normal monsoons predicted for this year and other actions being considered by the Government, at least the food inflation should come down. In any case, the industry has to find ways of compensating inflation led cost increases through better efficiencies and increased productivity.

 

Segment-wise business analysis

 

Business segment – cement

 

Industry structure and development

 

Additional capacities of 33 million tons were commissioned during the year over and above 42 million tons added during the previous 2 years. Thus, the total capacity of the Indian cement industry stood at 251 million tons as at end of March 2010. Considering the timing of commissioning of these new capacities, it is estimated that an effective capacity of 227 million tons was available for 2009-10.

 

Domestic demand for cement also registered an impressive growth of 11% from 178 million tons in 2008-09 to 197 million tons in 2009-10. This indicates that the domestic demand is now growing at almost 1.5 times GDP growth as against the normal ratio of 1.1 to 1.2 times. Obviously, apart from higher spending on infrastructure development, there has been a strong revival in the realty sector also.

 

In spite of this impressive growth in cement consumption, capacity utilization on all India basis came down to 89% of the effective capacity from 94% last year because of the large capacity additions. 

 

One major dampener in this demand growth scenario was the negative growth registered in Andhra Pradesh, hich was recording double digit growth in cement demand for past several years. At the same time, new capacities of 7 million tons were commissioned in Andhra Pradesh, resulting in capacity utilization of cement plants in Andhra Pradesh coming down to 73% only. As a result, cement prices in Andhra Pradesh and its neighbouring areas dropped significantly during the 2nd and 3rd quarter. They are however fairly convinced that this was a passing phase, caused by a number of adverse developments in Andhra Pradesh. Markets have already started improving gradually during the 4th quarter and a substantial part of drop in realization has recovered by now.

 

On the statutory front, recent budget increased excise duty on cement, which had been reduced earlier as part of the stimulus package. Government of Andhra Pradesh increased VAT on cement from 12.5% to 14.5% w.e.f January 2010.

 

Outlook

 

They expect their cement volumes to go up significantly next year as our expanded capacity would be available for the full year.

 

On the costs front, the savings arising from self generation of power and increased efficiencies from the new facilities should more than compensate for the inflation led cost increases.

 

Sales realization will depend upon market forces and could be affected d for some time in case supplies exceed demand either because of slower than normal demand in our markets or excess supplies from new capacities. In any case, we remain fairly confident and optimistic that going forward they shall be able to achieve continuously improving results from our existing  cement plants.

 

Business segment – paper

 

Industry structure and development

 

As indicated in their analysis and report last year, paper markets were fairly depressed for most part of the year .

 

In addition to 616000 tons of capacities added during the previous year, a further capacity of 155000 tons was commissioned this year by large integrated paper mills alone. Other mills, based upon waste paper or agro residues, also commissioned around 300000 tons of new capacities in the same time frame.

As a result domestic production of paper increased sharply in a short period of time. At the same time paper mills from South Asia started offering pulp and paper at very low prices as a means of evacuating their production during the global meltdown period.

 

While the domestic demand for Paper and paper board grew at a healthy rate of around 8% and tissue paper at around 15%, supplies exceeded demand for most part of the year.

 

Consequently, paper prices came under pressure and dropped by almost 7.5% from the previous year’s levels.

 

However, the International scenario changed towards end of the year following closure of some capacities in Europe, disruption in pulp and paper production due to the devastating earth quake in Chile and curb on illegal logging in Indonesia. As a result, International pulp and paper prices have started recovering offering opportunities to Indian mills to export at fairly remunerative prices. Domestic prices are also expected to improve during 2010- 11.

 

The issue of long term and adequate availability of pulp wood remains an area of concern for the integrated paper mills. The Industry continues to make significant efforts to encourage social and farm forestry. But this has limitations of scattered plantations. The industry has been representing to the central and state Governments to facilitate public – private partnership to gainfully utilise huge tracts of revenue waste lands for large scale plantations, which could create huge rural employment and potentially enable the Indian paper industry to achieve

world class scales.

 

Outlook – Amlai plant

 

Admittedly, the plant has not performed to potential in the last two years mainly because of water shortage related shut downs, which were beyond control. However there have been several positive developments during the year:

 

·         They have been able to reduce their water consumption from 8 million gallons per day to 6 million gallons per day through greater recycling. Work is on hand to further reduce this to 5 million gallons per day.

·         They changed over to alkaline sizing from Acid sizing for improving quality of their writing and printing papers. Their tissue paper products have found acceptance in different parts of the World and they were able to export substantial quantity of tissue paper during the last quarter of the year. Future prospects appear bright.

·         Their branded note books are gradually becoming more popular. Even in the face of tough market situation during the year, they were able to increase turnover from this activity by 50%.

 

They have recently finalized the order for increasing their own power generation capacity to 55 MW from existing 25 MW. This project is aimed at substantially reducing cost of power and steam both for paper and caustic / chlorine. It is expected that this plant should be ready for commissioning in 24 months starting from May 2010. While production of paper will still be low during first quarter of 2010-11, they shall make every effort to make up the shortfall in the remaining 3 quarters.

 

Brajrajnagar plant

 

Operations at this plant have remained suspended. Only employees, who are mostly required for upkeep of the facility, now remain on the rolls of this plant. This is indeed a valuable asset which is ideally located with complete

infrastructure. They intend to put this asset to productive use soon and are examining options for best utilization of this facility.

 

Business segment – Electricals

 

Industry structure and development

 

The organized fan industry in India is estimated to have registered one of its highest ever growth of around 30%, most of which came from the domestic markets.

 

Total fan production in India is estimated to have grown to around 35 million units from 28 million units last year. The share of organized sector continues to increase gradually and is estimated to be around 80% of total fans sold.

 

At the same time, prices of major inputs like steel and copper eased to some extent from their peaks of previous year. However, prices of these commodities have again started rising and are close to their earlier peak levels.

 

Demand for Orient’s CFLs also increased by 30% to touch 180 million units. Demand for tube lights however declined marginally by 4%. As per the latest regulations, all CFLs produced from October 2009 had to meet the requirement of high power factor. While this created some initial bottlenecks, complete change-over from low power factor to high power factor has since taken effect.

 

Outlook

 

Orient PSPO has been one of the market leaders in the Indian fan industry and also the highest exporters by far.

 

The fact that they have continued to grow at a much higher rate than the industry, clearly shows that they have been consistently increasing their market share.

 

This has been possible through expanding their product portfolio to include table, pedestal, wall and exhaust fans.

 

Simultaneously they have been able to increase our market reach and penetration in relatively weaker markets. They have also taken several new initiatives in building enhanced brand equity for Orient PSPO. Mahendra Singh

Dhoni continues to be their brand ambassador and will start endorsing their lighting products as well.

 

Their lighting business has shown rapid growth and we expect this trend to continue.

 

During 2010-11, they shall further expand their capacity for fans to 60 lac units and also add the 2nd line for production of CFLs. They shall be deriving further benefits from economies of scale. Overall, we expect their electrical business to continue to grow rapidly in both domestic and export markets.
