LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History:           

 

Subject was incorporated in 1956 with technical and financial collaboration of Hoechst and Bayer AG and three Indian business groups -- the Ruias, the Khataus and Ghias. In October 2000, 50.1% equity stake of the company held by Hoechst AG, Germany was transferred to EBITO Chemiebeteiligungen AG, Switzerland, a subsidiary of Clariant International AG, Switzerland and subsequently EBITO acquired 20% stake of the company in 2005. Now EBITO holds 70.1% Equity stake of the company. Subsequently to the merger of the Speciality Chemicals Division of Hoechst AG with Clariant AG in 1997, CCL has become a part of the global Clariant group. CCL has subsidiaries, Vanavil Dyes and Chemicals in Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu and Kundalika Investments Limited. CCL is a leading manufacturer and merchant exporter of pigments, fine chemicals and leather chemicals and currently enjoys Trading House Status. The business structure of the Company now comprises of the following divisions :Life Science and Electronic Chemicals, Pigments and Additives, Textile, Leather and Paper Chemicals, Cellulose Ethers and Polymer sates, Functional Chemicals. During 2000-2001, the Reserve Bank of India approved the disinvestment of Colour-Chem's holding of 24,000 Equity Shares of face value of Rs. 100/- each in Haycolour Limited, Sri Lanka to M/s. Hayleys Textile Services Limited, Sri Lanka at par value. It has also introduced several new products both in leather chemicals and textile chemicals. As a part of acquiring various new technologies, the company has acquired the technology for manufacture of diketen and the company is a dominant player in these industrial segments. In 2005, the company decided to amalgamate the companies namely, Clariant (India) Limited, BTP India Private Limited, Vanavil Dyes and Chemicals Limited and Kundalika Investments Limited into the company, with the swap ratio of 1 equity share of CCL for 1 equity share of Clariant India Limited, 1 equity share of CCL for 5 equity shares of BTP India Private Limited and 1 equity share of CCL for 5 equity shares of Vanavil Dyes and Chemicals Limited Accordingly the Scheme of Amalgamation Vanavil Dyes and Chemicals Limited and Clariant India Limited was amalgamated with the company in April 2006 in the above said ratio.

Industry Structure and Development:

 

The chemical industry is one of the world’s largest industries. In 2008 its sales exceeded 3 trillion USD. Chemical products and technologies are used in almost every area of the world economy. As the global economy grows, it increases the demand for the chemical products and the growth is further driven by product innovation and improved production process. The Indian chemical industry, with its size of USD 67 billion (Chemical News, July 2010), is ranked 12th largest in terms of volume and 3rd largest in Asia. This is one of the oldest industries in India, contributing significantly to the industrial and economic growth and growing annually at over 10%. With investments in R and D, the industry is registering significant growth in knowledge sector comprising of specialty chemicals, fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The industry is highly diversified and serves the basic needs of many different industry verticals like natural gas, water, oil, metals, minerals, air, etc. and all these verticals eventually bring into the market place an array of products. The key characteristics of the Indian chemical industry are - focus on high domestic demand with increase in per capita consumption levels, high degree of fragmentation, small scale operations, limited emphasis on exports, low cost competitiveness due to high taxation

and cost of capital and low focus on R and D. The chemical industry is divided into three key segments (1) basic chemicals (inorganic chemicals, petrochemicals, fertilizers and industrial chemicals), (2) specialty chemicals (paints and varnishes, textile chemicals, dyestuff and intermediaries, catalysts, plastic additives, adhesives and sealants, industrial gases etc.) and (3) knowledge chemicals (pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, agrochemicals). The specialty chemical segment is characterized with high product differentiation and value addition, typically smaller production units with more flexibility and low capital investment levels. The chemical industry as a whole and the specialty chemicals segment in particular operated in a favorable market environment in 2010 and overall chemical production both in India and worldwide increased over the previous year. The first half of 2010 brought a rapid recovery for the chemicals sector, driven by replenishment of inventories by customers. However, the positive momentum eased from the third quarter. The rate of growth and demand for chemicals in all segments of Indian chemical industry which remained high in first half returned to normal over the course of the second half of the year.

 

Outlook

 

The Indian chemical industry has come out of its protected market. The industry forms the backbone of industrial development of India. Over the years, the industry has evolved from basic chemical producer to knowledge intensive industry with healthy growth. Specialty chemical segment which caters to several key applications will be increasingly important for India and with expanding economic growth and per capita income; it is poised to grow at nearly double the rate of growth of the overall economy. This offers unique opportunities for research and technology inputs to support and realise the growth potential and to bring the Indian specialty chemical industry on the global map while meeting the needs of enhanced quality of life for developing India.

 

The estimated market size of the Indian paint industry segment is about USD 2.5 billion and is growing over 10% annually. Per capita consumption of India is about 1 kg compared to about 15-25 kg. in the developed countries. With rising income levels and growth in housing, the industry is expected to grow significantly. The Company has positioned itself as preferred supplier of pigments, additives and intermediates to major paint, coatings and ink manufacturing companies in the country.

 

The size of the Indian dyestuff industry is estimated at USD 4 billion and it holds about 7% share in global market. India has emerged as a global supplier of dyestuffs and dye intermediates. The dyestuff market is highly fragmented with a high concentration in Maharasahtra and Gujarat. There are about 50 large and medium players and over 900 small scale manufacturers. The per capita consumption of dyestuff is very low in India as compared to the developed countries.

 

The plastics and polymer segment is growing steadily with a very high potential of domestic consumption. It remains one of the fastest growing markets in the recent past. Many overseas plastic processors have started investing in India for exports as well as for domestic consumption.

 

The Indian textile industry which accounts for about 4% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is estimated to expand significantly and this will provide opportunities to the textile chemical segment to grow and add value in the expanding market of fashion, formal and leisurewear garments. Clariant is a market leader in textile chemicals and has a significant presence in all segments of the industry including technical textiles.

 

India’s share in the world’s leather trade is just over 2% and with the advantage of a large labour force and wide raw material base, it provides opportunities for significant growth. The Company has done significantly well with strong growth in exports led by demand from the Clariant group. The Company has a wide product range for leather dyeing and finishing chemicals to cater to the market needs for a variety of products and is the market leader in wet end chemicals.

 

With expectation of significant growth in the paper demand, the Indian paper industry is investing heavily on capacity expansion. Clariant’s paper business offers a wide range of high performance products for improving whiteness, strength, strong and bright shades with excellent printability.

 

With increase in per capita income, the personal care sector in India is set for a lot of action by way of expansion in capacity, fast replacement of product portfolio and investment in research and development projects. Clariant with its strong global presence is looking forward for improving its position in this segment.
