MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Financial Review

The Company has two divisions, i.e., Poly Vinyl Chloride [PVC] and PVC Pipes and Fittings. The operating profit for both the divisions has been sharply higher as compared to the previous year.

 

Global Economy and Effect on the Company

The extreme volatility experienced in the global markets during 2008-09 moderated to some extent during the year . However, uncertainty still looms large on the global business horizon. The developed economies of USA and Europe have pumped in trillions of dollars to stabilize their economies. The long term effects of these measures are yet to be seen. Volatility in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates is the order of the day. Though there are emerging signs of recovery, these are still not strong enough to instil confidence in the system as a whole. The economic crisis has hit countries like Greece and Iceland very badly and there is speculation about some other countries also facing similar crises. A delayed and sub-normal monsoon added to the overall uncertainty prevailing in the Indian economy at the beginning of the year . Despite this the Indian economy posted a remarkable recovery. The GDP growth tentatively assessed at over 6% is one of the highest in the world. The rural economy in India is fast growing giving an impetus to the demand for various products. The Company's products, i.e., PVC Pipes and Fittings are mainly sold in the rural markets. This segment has seen volume growth of more than 20% during the year .

 

Industry Outlook

PVC Resin Business

The domestic demand for PVC Resin grew by almost 25% during the year . This is on the background of a net shortage which had been prevailing in the Indian market for the past few years. The total imports of PVC Resin into India grew to almost 800,000 MT, and it is expected that this shortage will only grow in the years to come. The International prices of PVC Resin increased from around USD 800/MT at the beginning of the year  to over USD 1,000/MT by the end of the year. Despite a corresponding increase in the raw material prices, the Company was able to improve its margins because of its ability to pass on the cost increases to the market fairly quickly.

 

PVC Pipes Business

The demand for PVC Pipes has been very strong during the year . The bulk of the Company's PVC Pipes production is sold in the rural markets for Agriculture and Irrigation. Given the Company's vast network spread across the length and breadth of the country, the Company has been able to reach even the remotest villages where the demand for PVC Pipes exists. Despite the slow-down in the Building Construction Industry, the Company was able to post a strong growth of almost 35% in the sale of Plumbing and Sanitation Pipes. This is entirely due to the strong brand equity enjoyed by the Company. The Company has successfully completed the expansion of PVC Pipes manufacturing capacity from 100,000 MT p.a. to 140,000 MT p.a. The full capacity will be available during 2010-11. Considering the strong demand for its products, the Company is now contemplating further increase in PVC Pipes capacity at a new location.

 

 

Finance
The interest and finance charges for the year were Rs. 466.066 millions as against Rs. 468.266 millions for the previous year. 
 
Corporate Governance
Pursuant to clause 49 of the listing agreements entered into with the stock exchanges, a separate section on corporate governance and a certificate obtained from the auditors of the Company regarding compliance with the conditions of corporate governance are forming part of this annual report.

 

Shifting of Registered Office

Pursuant to the resolution passed at the twenty-sixth annual general meeting held on 22nd June, 2007, effective 4th July, 2008, the registered office of the Company was shifted to Gat No.399, Urse, Taluka Maval, District Pune 410 506.

 

Power Project

During the year, power project at Ratnagiri made a significant progress. Company has received all the permissions/approvals. Power plant installation is targeted to be completed by end of November, 2009. Power plant shall be fully operational in the fourth quarter of 2009-2010.

 

Breakwater Project

In view of the business scenario, the Breakwater project is temporarily put on hold and is expected to be resumed in due course.

 


Award for Excellence in Energy Conservation and Management

Maharashtra Energy Development Agency, a Government of Maharashtra undertaking has conferred on PVC plant, Ratnagiri the second prize for excellence in energy conservation and management recognising the efforts taken by all concerned in practising energy efficiency and conservation measures.

 

Setting up Gas based Power Plant at Chinchwad, Pune

The Company proposes to set up a 30 MW Gas based Power Plant at Chinchwad, Pune. The concept of power generation through Gas based Power Plant is comparatively a low cost project having a very short gestation period and an eco-friendly source of energy. Besides this social and environmental aspect, it makes great business sense to take up this venture.

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" and "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.

 

Awards

Over a period of last many years Subject has received various awards and has set its own benchmark in the area of excellence. National safety Council Award - Maharashtra Chapter, Prashansha Patra from National safety Council, are few of these awards. Finolex also has great awareness in its environmental responsibilities and has taken many efforts towards addressing the environmental issues. For its efforts it has been honored by the Green Tech Environment Excellence Gold Award, It is not only in the area of manufacturing and Environment that Finolex has tried to excel but it has also got various other Government recognition such as  Sammanpatra from Govt. of India, Department of Revenue, Central excise, Custom and service tax etc. for outstanding contribution to central excess revenues.
