Operations

 

The Company has three Businesses i.e. Fertiliser, Shipping and Textiles. The Fertiliser Business is by far the largest among the three businesses. The Fertiliser Business comprises of ‘own manufactured Urea’ and trading of phosphatic and potassic fertilisers as well as agri-inputs like seeds, pesticides, micro-nutrients, etc. The fertilizer plants have stabilized after partial de-bottlenecking. While Fertiliser business remained steady during 2009-10, Shipping and Textile businesses faced severe recessionary trends although Textile business was upbeat towards the year end. The performance of the Company as a whole was satisfactory.

 

The Company added one new ship during the year. With this addition, it has a total fleet of 6 Aframax tankers. The Shipping Business performed well considering the severe global downturn as it had long term charter contracts with the reputed parties for four of its ships. The Textile Business achieved increase in revenues due to better realizations and change in product mix during the year.

 

Joint Ventures and Associates

 

(i) Indo Maroc Phosphore S. A., Morocco (IMACID) IMACID plant remained inoperative from 10.11.2008 to 04.03.2009 due to high stock and nonremunerative sales price of Phosphoric acid. After start-up of the plant on 05.03.2009, overall performance of plant operation was satisfactory. During the Year 2009, production and sales of Phosphoric Acid were 359,656 MT and 369,996 MT respectively. Total profit after tax was 35.090 Million MAD (Rs. 213.600 millions) in year 2009 as against MAD 2506.400 Million (Rs. 1426.600 millions) in the previous year. The decrease in profit is mainly on account of lower price realization and long plant shut down.

 

(ii) Zuari Investments Limited

The Company has divested its entire holding in Zuari Investments Limited. Accordingly, Zuari Investments ceased to be an associate of the Company.

 

Subsidiaries

(i) Chambal Infrastructure Ventures Limited

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

FERTILISER DIVISION

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE

Urea production capacity in India has been stagnant for the last 11 years as no new plant came up since 1999. The country is therefore far from self-reliant both in nitrogenous and phosphatic fertilisers’. There was only a marginal growth of around 3% in consumption of fertilisers during the year 2009-10. India has imported over 5.2 million of Urea during financial year 2009-10. Urea import prices (FOB) varied ranging between USD 254 per MT in September 2009 to USD 315 per MT in January-February 2010. The dependence on imports of this vital nutrient is increasing and reaching levels where future food security could be jeopardized. Accordingly there is an need to increase domestic production of Urea.

 

Further growth in capacity through investments in Greenfield or Brownfield projects will depend upon assured Gas supply on a long term basis at a fair price.

 

Developments in Government Policies

Pending formulation of a pricing policy for Urea, New Pricing Scheme (NPS) -Stage III which was valid upto 31.03.2010, has been further extended provisionally.

 

The new Fertiliser Investment Policy for Urea was notified last year. The main feature of the new policy is the shift from ‘cost plus’ approach to ‘Import Parity Price’ basis for the new investments i.e. Revamp, Brownfield, Greenfield or Revival. For determining the import parity, the floor and ceiling prices have been fixed at US$ 250 per MT and US$ 425 per MT, respectively. The additional Urea from the Revamp of existing units, expansion projects and Brownfield projects will be recognized at 85%, 90% and 95% respectively of the Import Parity Price. As the policy is predicated upon the continued availability of KG-D6 basin gas supplies at a fair price, there is an urgent need to augment Gas supplies domestically or come to formula wherein potential investors are assured of a cost neutralization of inputs beyond a level.

 

The Government is currently working on a suitable amendment to this policy to take care of industry concerns and the company is actively tracking these developments.

 

The Government has also notified the Operation of the Nutrient Based Subsidy Scheme (NBS) for Potassic and

Phosphatic fertilisers although Nitrogenous fertilisers have been currently kept out of the purview of the policy. Under NBS, the Government fixes subsidies on the basis of nutrient content in a product rather than a formula based subsidy linked to a product. The new policy seeks to emphasize the balanced nutrition of the soil consistent with rational economic principles. This move of the Government is a step in the right direction and will drive producers as well as importers to improve production, procurement and distribution efficiencies. This move is also consistent with focus on marketing and customer service through competition. The Company sees this development as an opportunity to expand its product range in Potassic and Phosphatic fertilisers through an active overseas procurement programme. This will further strengthen the Company’s flagship brand ‘Uttam’ under which these products will be sold. It will also enable the Company to reach more farmers and dealers and strengthen its leadership position in the crucial markets of North India.

 

Natural Gas Scenario

The year saw a marked reduction in the international prices of oil and gas in the first quarter on account of the economic slowdown in the developed economies. The markets, however, revived and the oil prices have inched back to USD 75-85 per barrel range. The international oil prices have a direct bearing on the gas prices due to a close correlation between the oil and the gas prices.

 

The Company has a basket of sources from which natural gas is supplied to its plants at Gadepan. Re-gasified LNG (RLNG) constitutes a major quantum of gas supplies and the prices under the contracts have been rising due to increase in the international oil prices. The Company is taking steps for reduction in the overall gas cost and has requested the Government of India to replace a part of RLNG volumes with the gas from the KG-D6 basin in line with a mandate from the Empowered Group of Ministers.

 

OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

The Company sold 20.14 Lac MT of Urea during the year 2009-10 which was marginally higher than the last year’s sale of 19.76 Lac MT. The production and sales of Urea were higher due to implementation of energy saving cum de-bottlenecking revamp projects for Gadepan - I and II. The production is likely to improve further in the current financial year 2010-11.

 

The Company is gradually increasing its marketing reach by expanding its marketing network to Bihar and Jharkhand. The Company’s impetus on trading of agri-inputs is bearing fruits. There was substantial increase in the sale of Pesticides during the year, which increased to Rs. 1797.700 Millions from Rs. 1327.200 Millions in 2008-09. The Company has sold 0.142 million MT of Di-ammonium Phosphate - DAP (Previous Year 0.221 million MT) and 0.086 million MT of Muriate of Potash – MOP (Previous Year 0.045 million MT) in the same period. The variation in trading volumes of DAP was mainly due to supply constraints. The Company has sold micronutrients worth Rs. 471.600 Millions and seeds worth Rs. 319.000 Millions as against previous year sales of Rs. 437.400 Millions and Rs. 428.800 Millions, respectively. The sales of seeds were lower mainly due to higher subsidy given to the Government channels on sales of wheat seed.

 

 

INDIA STEAMSHIP – SHIPPING DIVISION

I. Industry structure

The Shipping Industry plays very vital role in international trade as most of the transportation across the continents is carried out through sea route. The two major segments of the shipping trade are dry bulk and tanker. The Company operates into tanker segment through its own Aframax tankers as well as in-chartered tankers. The Shipping Industry world wide has seen their top and bottom lines plunge since 2009. Most charterers/owners have followed a wait and watch policy with few transactions taking place either with respect to time charters or sale and purchase of ships. The spot markets have continuously dipped with aframax tanker charter rates moving from almost USD 50,000 per day in 2008 to USD 16,000 per day in 2009. Similarly, asset prices in the segment moved down from a high of around USD 80 million in 2008 to subpar USD 60 million in 2009.

 

Outlook

The Shipping Industry operates as a global trade and is closely linked to the world economic environment. The world economy has been in recession since the last quarter of 2008 and year 2009 saw some extremely poor rates in the tanker market. The Industry is still facing a considerable challenge in the form of massive order book with almost 30% of the existing tanker fleet scheduled to be delivered over the next 3 years.

 

However, International Monetary Fund recently upgraded its world economic growth outlook to 3.9% this year and 4.3% for 2011. Higher economic activities should stimulate energy consumption which in turn will help in turning around the fortunes of shipping industry. Overall, there is an atmosphere of cautious optimism in the shipping industry.

 

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

The summarised performance of Shipping Division during the year was as under:

 

                                                                                                 2009-10                         2008-09

 

Sales (Rs. In Millions)                                                             2766.000                       4116.100

EBIDTA (Rs. In Millions)                                                         1191.000                       1768.700

 

 

BIRLA TEXTILE MILLS - SPINNING DIVISION

Industry Structure

India is the second biggest textiles manufacturer worldwide and third largest cotton producer and consumer after China and USA. Employing around 35.000 million people, textiles industry stands as a major foreign currency revenue generator. Almost one fourth of the world’s spindle activities are hosted in India. The Country is also significant textiles Fibre and yarn manufacturer on the world scene, taking on its own a 12% share of the world’s production volume. India ranks at second place in production of silk and cellulose Fibre and yarn whilst standing on the fifth position when it comes to synthetic Fibre and yarn.

 

Outlook

Indian textile industry has shown recovery signs in year 2010, following the dismal operating environment that prevailed for two consecutive years. The recovery should be supported by a pick-up in export demand, government stimulus, improved liquidity and a stable-to-growing domestic demand for textile products. Modernization will enable the companies in providing quality and volume solutions which is in constant demand by international buyers.

 

Appreciation of the Indian Rupee remains a challenge for Indian exporters since it lowers their competitive advantage against their Asian peers in Vietnam, China and Bangladesh. Should the rupee continue to strengthen, textile exports may register a sharp decline in the short-term, hitting revenues and cash flows of exporters.

 

Operational and Financial Performances

The Yarn sales and average spindle utilization during the year 2009-10 were flat at 21324 MT and 95.77%, respectively. The revenue and margins have improved mainly due to favourable market conditions in the later half of the year.

PROFILE:

 

Subject is one of the largest private sector fertilizer producers in India. It was promoted by Zuari Industries Limited in the year 1985. Its two hi-tech nitrogenous fertiliser (urea) plants are located at Gadepan in Kota district of Rajasthan. Built at a price of over Rs. 25 billion (USD 500.000 million), the two plants produce about 2.000 million tones of Urea per annum. The first plant was commissioned in 1993 and second plant in 1999. These plants use state-of-the-art technology including that from Denmark, Italy, United States and Japan.

 

Subject caters to the need of the farmers in ten states in Northern, Central and Western regions of India and is the lead fertiliser supplier in the State of Rajasthan. The Company has a vast marketing network comprising 11 regional offices, 1,300 dealers and 20,000 village level outlets.

 

The Company has donned the mantle of providing all agri-products through a ‘single window’ to enable the farmer to buy all products from one source. The Company dealers provide Urea and other agri-inputs like DAP (Di-Ammonium Phosphate), MOP (Murate of Potash), SSP(Single Super Phosphate), pesticides and seeds. Most of these products are sourced from reputed suppliers and sold under the ‘Uttam’ umbrella brand. Today, the Company has attained a leadership position in the pesticide business in North India.

 

To establish a closer bond and to provide personalised services, Chambal has also started the ‘Uttam Bandhan’ program under which crop and product demonstrations, field demonstrations and farmer meets are conducted. Soil and water testing are also conducted for free at Chambal’s laboratories and experts emphasize the balanced use of fertilisers.

 

To encourage the new age farmer, a website, 'uttamkrishi.com', provides information on the weather, suitable cropping techniques and markets. ‘Hello Uttam’ telephonic helplines have been set up to answer the queries raised by farmers. Unemployed youth from villages are enrolled as ‘Uttam Krishi Sewaks’. They are trained in the latest techniques and provide specialised services to farmers.

 

The company has won the Sword of Honour from the British Safety Council for two years running.
