LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

  

HISTORY

 

Promoted in 1979 by Deepak Nitrite and C K Mehta as a private limited company, subject became a public company in 1982. It manufactures anhydrous liquid ammonia. The 272-tpd plant at Taloja went on stream in Dec.'83. The plants are located in the well developed industrial area at Taloja near Bombay. Consistent supply of crucial raw material - Natural Gas - is assured through Deepak's own gas pipeline direct from Bombay High gas fields.

 
Smartchem Technologies Limited and Deepak Nitrochem Pty Limited, Australia are the subsidiaries of the company. 
 
The company diversified into the manufacture of ammonium nitro-phosphate (ANP) fertiliser (cap.: 23 Millions TPA) and integrated into the manufacture of concentrated nitric acid (33,000 tpa), ammonium nitrate (36,000 tpa) and dilute nitric acid (200,000 tpa). It also set up a 100,000-tpa methanol project which was part financed through a public issue of convertible debentures in Jan.'89. DFL has a technical collaboration with Fish International Engineers, US and Stamicarbon, the Netherlands. The Programme for retrofit Ammonia Plant was completed by end March, 2000. 

 
Keeping in mind the constraint of gas supply, the company had invested in a port-based storage facility for imported ammonia. The Company is also exploring the possibility of increasing the number of sources of Ammonia including the option of setting up a gas-based Ammonia plant abroad and also studying oppportunities for broad-basing industrial chemical products through forward integration. The company has implemented the debottlenecking of Ammonia Plant but the additional gas supply was never received. 

 
The expansion of NP fertilizer plant to 3, 00,000 tons p.a and LDAN plant to 1, 00,000 tons p.a was taken up in 2001-02. The engineering work for AN Melt capacity was completed and the above the plants were commissioned during 2002-03 there by enhancing the capacity by 90,000 tpa. Technology for the new plant has been supplied by Grande Praoisse, France.


The company has increased the installed capacity of CNA by 23100 MT during 2004-05 and with this expansion the total installed capacity of CNA has increased to 79200 MT.

 

SECURED DEBENTURES

 

In accordance with the terms of issue of Secured Non-Convertible Debentures of Rs. 1.000 Million each aggregating Rs. 200.000 Millions and Rs. 180.000 Millions earlier issued in favour of Financial Institutions, the Company during the year, has partly redeemed the Debentures on the due date 15th September, 2008 and 30th September,2008 respectively.

 

During the year, the Company has also issued 10.80% 1,250 Secured Redeemable Non-Convertible Debentures of Rs. 1.000 Million each aggregating Rs. 1250.000 Millions in favour of Life Insurance Corporation of India Limited and the same are listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Macro-economic scenario

 

The year that went by saw unprecedented volatility in all facets of the economy, be it commodity prices, forex or

equity markets.

 

The Indian economy, on an average, grew 8-9 percent during the period 2003-08 with a GDP growth of 6.7 percent in 2008-09. While inflation touched 12 percent,  today it stands below 1 percent. The capital market was extremely volatile, adversely affecting share prices, but recovered substantially during the last couple of months. Global growth rate during January 2009 was 0.5 percent. Advanced economies showed a negative growth of 2 percent while emerging economies showed a positive growth of 3.3 percent during the same period. India continued to target a growth rate of about 7 percent.

 

Capital inflows came down from USD 82 billion between April-December 2007 to USD 15.3 billion for the same period in 2008. During 2007-08 net inflows from FIIs stood at a positive USD 20.3 billion while in 2008-09 fell to a negative 15.3 billion. However, with the equity market showing bullish trends, FII inflow is expected to increase over the near future. A contraction in the capital flow affected financing to corporates during the year 2008-09 as compared to the previous year. On the positive side, riding on domestic demand, the growth of the Indian economy continues to be robust. Oil prices which touched around USD 150/barrel, declined to less than USD 40/barrel and are hovering around USD 70/barrel currently. Strengthening of rupee against US dollar reversed and rupee depreciated by more than 25 percent against the USD.

 

During the year 2008-09, commodity prices peaked. DAP, Phosphoric Acid, Ammonia, Urea and Sulphur touched peak price levels but are down to almost normal at present.

 

Export-intensive industries faced serious problems with consequent job losses in the sector post the global economic meltdown. However, the weakening of the rupee against the USD slightly improved the situation.

 

The economy provided challenging opportunities for Indian companies to demonstrate their competitive advantages and competencies.

 

Going forward, India stays strongly on the global map with its relatively strong domestic demand and healthy growth prospects and thus remains an attractive investment destination.

 

Macro-linkages to the Company

 

Oil and gas

 

The rising trend in global oil prices witnessed during 2008 reversed in 2009. Prices of Naphtha, Fuel Oil and Propylene also declined. However, reduced input costs could not fully compensate the fall in finished goods’ prices, which are now in the recovery mode.

 

The massive flow of RIL’s KG basin gas brought a new era in the Indian hydrocarbon industry. Additional gas allocation to various sectors has begun. 40 mmscmd gas from KG basin in the first phase will ensure easy availability of gas to all sectors. While the Company could tie-up with some cost-competitive RLNG/PMT gas suppliers, the positive recommendations on priority allocation of KG basin gas are awaiting final clearances. In the meanwhile, the Company is closely examining further offers of RLNG and enhanced ONGC gas supplies.

 

With these positive developments, the Company is confident about the availability of gas for sustaining full capacity utilisation. Gas from new sources will be priced at the market rate and its impact would be partially passed on to the customers and partially compensated by enhancing capacity utilisation, increasing efficiency and

replacing costly liquid fuel by gas.

 

Mining and infrastructure

 

The Company has been the market leader in India for Technical Ammonium Nitrate (TAN), an oxygenator for explosives, consumption of which is closely linked to construction, infrastructure, coal mining and mining of other minerals/ores. The growing demand for coal production for meeting power generation targets and additional cement capacities requiring more limestone would further the growth in the mining sector and propel  the demand for TAN. In addition, the increased demand for higher quality explosives would sustain a demand pattern towards TAN even at a reasonably premium price.

 

Agri-business

 

Improving farm economics holds the key to Indian economic development as more than 66 percent of the population depends on agriculture. Organised retail of grocery is expected to grow and will thus need a robustsupply chain for fruits and vegetables. The ever increasing demand for these products, both in the domestic and international markets provides an excellent opportunity for the Company. Keeping this scenario in mind, the

Company initiated an integrated nutrient and crop management thrust for farmers, including the manufacturing of customised fertilisers by implementing the license obtained to manufacture. In the meanwhile, the Company would continue its various initiatives taken through its Mahadhan Saarrthie Centres for rendering advisory services to farmers to enhance quality and productivity for achieving global competitiveness. The Company has begun earnest work with farmers enabling several Mahadhan Saarrthie members to acquire GlobalGAP certification ensuring healthy agri practices.

 

A growing body of farmers are today getting fully convinced about the support provided by the Company on various fronts to improve both the quality and the quantity of yield from their land and the prices obtained for the end produce.

 

Owing to a significant rise in international fertiliser prices in 2008-09, the subsidy burden on the Government had increased many fold and the Government issued fertilizer bonds to help manage its liquidity constraints. With the substantial fall in global fertiliser prices now, it is expected that the Government will not resort to further bonds to defray subsidy payments.

 

Chemicals business

 

The customs duty on chemicals remained static at 7.5 percent. The Company is the market leader in Iso Propyl Alcohol (IPA), Nitric Acid and an important player in Methanol and CO2. The Company’s customer relationships, loyalty and ability to service the market through domestic geographical advantages are proving to be key strengths.

 

Internationally, the prices of most bulk chemicals have been highly volatile. Global Methanol prices too remained highly volatile and went below USD 200/MT during 2009. More than 50 percent of the domestic demand for methanol was met through imports. On account of natural gas constraints, both in terms of price and availability, no new domestic capacities in methanol were added in the recent past.

 

Prices of IPA have been fluctuating in the international market. Following the global meltdown impact, resulting in a downward trend in the market prices, the Company faced stiff challenges from low priced imports. The Company has received the US Pharmacopoeia certification under the excipient verification programme for its IPA product and enjoys the distinction of being the first company in the world to have received this certification.

 

The Company also developed cosmetic grade IPA, which is being test marketed and the reports received are encouraging. Both these measures will help place some of the Company’s products in the premium segments. The Company’s Nitric Acid enjoys a good market, being used in dyes, intermediates and pharma sectors.

 

Retail and value-added real estate (VARE) business

The retail sector began the year on a very robust note. During the meltdown, there was a distinct slow down in discretionary consumer spending which affected categories like furniture, durables and home products among others. However, during the last couple of months, a distinct pick up has been noticed across key consumer categories with a gradual rise in discretionary spending. Consumer confidence is on the mend. As such, per capita income is expected to rise around 3 percent over the next two years.

 

Detailed financial and operational analysis

 

Financial analysis

 

The total revenue increased 34 percent from Rs. 10813.100 Millions in 2007-08 to Rs. 14481.000 Millions in 2008-09. Profit before tax increased 40 percent from Rs. 1515.100 Millions in 2007-08 to Rs. 2120.000 Millisons in 2008-09 and net profit grew 48 percent from Rs. 1002.700 Millions in 2007- 08 to Rs. 1487.000 Millions in 2008-09. Earnings per share improved by 48 percent from Rs. 11.37 in the previous year to Rs.16.86 in 2008-09. This growth was achieved by taking advantage of market opportunities throughin-house manufacturing and strategic outsourcing.

 

The Company’s financial position continues to remain sound. The average debt cost stood at 8.31 percent for 2008-09 as against 7.45 percent for 2007-08. During 2008-09, long term funds of Rs. 1040.000 Millions were borrowed for part-financing the project cost. In addition, there was a short term borrowing of Rs. 1200.000 Millions. The Company also raised Rs. 1250.000 Millions by issuing 10.80 percent privately placed NCDs. In 2007-08, while the outstanding debt stood at Rs. 3493.800 Millions, during 2008-09 debt rose to Rs. 6077.500 Millions Interest for the funds raised for project/ capex items were capitalised. The debt-equity ratio stood at 0.55 in 2008-09 as compared to 0.37 in the previous year. The current ratio, including liquid investments, was at 2.28 in 2008-09 as compared to 1.81 in the previous year.

 

Forex management emerged as a challenge in 2008-09 and appropriate measures were taken in response. The

Company has had no exposure to the derivative product volatilities during the year.

 

Operational analysis

 

Overall, during the year, shortage of natural gas at the Taloja plant continued and was partially compensated by purchasing LNG and outsourcing Ammonia for maintaining down-stream products. The prices of fuel oil, used for generating process steam, initially went up but subsequently came down. The price of precious metals used as catalysts also came down. The capacity of AN plant was increased from 90,000 MTPA to 1,32,000 MTPA, requiring a plant closure for 59 days for hook up. The capacity of Liquid CO2 was also increased from 16,500 MTPA to 33,000 MTPA during the year. During 2008-09, Sulphur Bentonite plant started operations and the product was well received in the market.

 

Production and sales

 

The total bulk fertiliser sales volume for 2007-08 was 3,18,680 MT and 2,99,270 MT in 2008-09. The non-availability of Phosphoric Acid and the sharp increase in international prices impacted volume of own manufactured Nitro Phosphate Fertilisers. The availability of mixture fertilisers was low due to the shortage of input material to these manufacturers. Sales of traded bulk fertilisers grew from Rs. 2297.000 Millions in 2007-08 to Rs. 3374.400 Millions in 2008-09.

 

Sales volume of industrial chemicals dropped from 2,83,260 MT in 2007-08 to 2,70,896 MT in 2008-09, but sales in value terms grew 4.37 percent. The details of production and sales during 2007-08 and 2008-09 are as follows:

 

Segment-wise and product-wise business review

 

Agri-business

 

The total revenue for the agri-business segment stood at Rs. 5768.000 Millions in 2008-09 as against Rs. 2981.900 Millions in 2007-08.

 

The agri-business continued its focus on integrated nutrient management and providing advisory services to the farmers, through Mahadhan Saarrthie Centres, for enhancing quality and farm productivity. The total number of Mahadhan Saarrthie Centres as on March 31, 2009, stood at nine with around 5,000 hectares of cultivable land and a total membership of 5,500 farmers. The success of Mahadhan Saarrthie initiatives and the excellent marketing strategies adopted by the Company, resulted in an increase of around 144 percent in speciality fertilisers sales from Rs. 280.600 Millions in 2007-08 to Rs. 685.300 Millions in 2008-09. The Company successfully commenced exporting fruits and vegetables to the Middle East and the European markets was worth Rs. 38.400 Millions.

During 2008-09, exports of Ammonium Nitrate increased from Rs. 54.800 Millions in 2007-08 to Rs. 171.600 Millions (including Rs. 7.000 Millions of re-export). Export of IPA was curtailed to Rs. 203.100 Millions as against Rs. 415.100 Millions in 2007-08 on account of strong domestic demand. Export of other products came down from Rs. 156.300 Millions in 2007-08 to Rs. 97.000 Millions in 2008-09.

 

Retail and value-added real estate

 

During 2008-09, Ishanya – India’s largest design centre and speciality mall – became operational. More than 50 stores under one roof provide excellent facilities to the customers for acquiring home improvement products. Over

5,000 brands are available. Ishanya has witnessed nearly 1.5 million footfalls since its opening and has a record 35 percent conversion, making it one of the most successful retail destinations in its category. Ishanya has been able to leverage its brand and in addition to normal retail spaces, it has increased revenue from specially designed areas like the amphitheatre, a seminar hall, exhibition spaces and advertising spaces among others.

Overview

 

Introduction


The Subject Group of industries was born in 1970 when Mr. C. K. Mehta set up Deepak Nitrite Limited, combining his skills in trading and manufacturing. The company grew by leaps and bounds, surpassing expectations of all investors and also won many prestigious awards like the Sir P.C.Ray award, for being the best Chemical Industrial unit in India.

 

In 1983, Subject started commercial production of ammonia (in technical collaboration with Fish International Engineers (USA)) using natural gas as feedstock. This marked the fulfillment of a need for lateral integration into the world of basic building block chemicals, premium fertilisers and petrochemicals. At the time, this was India's only merchant ammonia manufacturer. The International Finance Corporation initially supported this venture of Subject group in the form of equity participation in subject.

 

The company undertook major expansion and diversification in 1989 to achieve forward integration of ammonia and diversification in Methanol.

 

In July 1992, Subject commenced commercial production of Low Density Ammonium Nitrate (LDAN), Nitro Phosphate (NP), Dilute Nitric Acid (DNA), and Concentrated Nitric Acid (CNA).

 

This has resulted in a multi-product portfolio for subject consisting of chemicals, petrochemicals, fertilisers and other agri-inputs. To ensure an uninterrupted supply of natural gas to its plant, subject laid its own 43 km gas pipeline from the coastal fall point of Bombay High to its plants in Tajola, thus becoming one of the first companies in India to have its own gas pipeline.

 

Subject has a chemical storage terminal at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) to provide support to its logistics management system and ensure a window to the world trade in chemicals. It is in the process of adding new storage facilities for Ammonia, Methanol and other products. The company also leases port storage capacities at Bombay Port Trust and Vishakhapatnam.

 

Subject business can be broadly categorised into: -

 

  1. Chemicals
  2. Agribusiness

 

Chemicals:

 

This division of Subject manufactures Methanol, various grades of Nitric Acid and Ammonia. Subject is one of the largest producers of Methanol in India, which in turn is used to manufacture drugs, pharmaceuticals, DMT, pesticides, methylamines, formaldehyde, etc. Subject is also one of the largest manufactures various concentrations of Nitric Acid (60%, 68%, 72% and 98%). Ammonium Nitrate: The explosives division manufactures Low Density Ammonium Nitrate, which is used for making Ammonium Nitrate-fuel oil (ANFO), blasting agents and also emulsified ANFO (HANFO). Subject is the largest manufacturer of ammonium nitrate in India (capacity expanded to 100.000 tpa in September 2002), and the only one making prilled Ammonium Nitrate (AN).

 

Agribusiness:

 

This division of DFPCL manufactures 23:23:0 prilled Nitrophosphate fertiliser under the brand name Mahadhan. DFPCL markets Mahadhan through a network of over 1000 dealers.

 

Ishanya:

 

Ishanya is India's first International Design Centre and Speciality Mall - a centre for excellence in space design and the one-stop shop for interior and exterior products.

 

Ø       For architects and interior designers, Ishanya is a platform to showcase their art, craft and vision to a targeted and discerning audience.

 

Ø       For manufacturers and retailers of interior and exterior products, it's the perfect marketplace to make the most of India's real estate and construction boom.

 

Ø       For homeowners, corporate shoppers and visitors, Ishanya will provide the ultimate experience in shopping for the home.

 

Social Responsibilities


The Subject Group has been contributing towards social causes for nearly two decades. The Deepak charitable Trust (DCT) and the Deepak Medical Foundation (DMF) with the support of Subject and Deepak Nitrite Limited are carrying on development activities for society.

 

DCT has been actively working in the area of mother and childcare. Through an integrated network of women health workers the foundation has been imparting training and communication on health care. Extending the activities on both sides, the Foundation has catalysed and supported the creation of Aanganwadis, and taken education to youth on family planning. The Foundation is now working to curtail the spread of HIV / AIDS.

 

Subject takes an active interest in environmental protection. In addition to regulatory requirements of the State Pollution Boards and Federation of Indian Industries, care is taken to reduce pollution by incorporation of appropriate effluent handling disposal systems.

 

In their plants they continuously monitor solid, semisolid and gaseous affluent discharges to ensure that they are within allowable limits. They also help other small industries as well as customers in solving their environment- related problems.

 

Future Prospects


Subject will continue to make deeper inroads into value-added chemicals, agro inputs and related services.

 

·         Subject plans to leverage its well-knit marketing and distribution network in chemicals and fertiliser industry to provide value-added services to their customers for sourcing raw materials and assisting them in exporting their products. The chemical storage and drumming facilities at Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNPT) near Bombay will provide further value-added services.

 

 

·         They are awaiting environmental clearance for a new port storage facility at JNPT.

 

 

·         Deeper in-roads into agro-inputs and services markets are on the drawing board, including the MAHADHAN Agriculture Research Centre (MARC), which will serve to partner with farmers, providing education, training and ensuring that they achieve the best performance.

 

Dreams of visionary minds and planned strategy by professional managers will give shape to an emerging, exciting future at subject.
