LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History

                   

Subject was promoted in 1987 in the joint sector by the GIIC and the Dalmias, through their companies - GTC Industries and Dalmia Dairy Corporation. It has obtained ISO 9002 certification awarded by Det Norske Veritas India.

 
Subject set up a 1200-tpd plant to manufacture soda ash (both dense and light), at Veraval, Gujarat, based on the technology provided by Akzo Zoute Chemic, the Netherlands. It came out with a public issue in Aug.'87 to part-finance the project. Commercial production began in Mar.'88. Soda ash is a base alkali widely used in the manufacture of detergents, glass, sodium silicate, dyes and intermediates, paper etc. 

 

Subject exports to Saudi Arabia, Iran, the UAE, Jordan, Bangladesh, Srilanka, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan and Australia, and has prestigious international clients like Procter and Gamble and National Class. 

 

The expansion of soda ash capacity by debottenecking its operations have been achieved within the budgeted timeframe and cost. The company is also planning other diversification and investments including manufacturing of aniline. 

 

In 1998-99, it acquired two salt refinery plants from DCW Home Products Limited  one at Thiruporur near Madras and the other at Palghar, Maharashtra having a production capacity of 0.100 million tonne each per annum. BIFR has approved the scheme of amalgamation of Sree Meenakshi Mills Limited with GHCL w.e.f April,2001.  


The diversification programmes of the Company are being pursued cautiously considering the current status of the soda ash industry. The Company is exploring investment avenues in Information technology businesses particularly IT enabled services. 

 

The Company is also entering into lignite mining. Subject is in the process of being allotted Lignite Mining rights in Gujarat for which steps for implementation have already been initiated. 

 

Subject has entered into IT enabled services through wholly owned subsidiary, Icon Data management Limited (IDML). Icon Data Management Limited was amalgamated with the company with prior approval from High Court of Gujarat. During 2002-03 the company acquired the entire equity capital of M/s Colwell and Salmon Communications Limited comprising of 50,500 equity shares of Rs.10 each, thereby making it a wholly owned subsidiary of Subject. The company is planning to change its name to 'GHCL Limited' and the Board has approved the same. The name change is subject to approval by Shareholders in the ensuing AGM.

 

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

 

Soda Ash

 

The  Global Soda Ash demand was 44 million tons in 2009-10 with a  capacity of  57  million tons. After growing at an average annual rate of  almost  5 percent  per  year  since 2004, world soda ash demand  fell  by  about  9.5 percent  in  2009. This represented a loss in volume of about  4.6  million metric  tons compared to 2008. As a result of weak demand, world  soda  ash operating rates averaged just 76 percent of capacity in 2009, probably  the lowest  rate the industry has ever seen. The USD12.50 billion  global  soda ash market is being affected by the recession and a downturn in the  demand for glass from the construction and automotive sectors. Rapid growth in the developing economies is expected to return but full recovery may take quite a few years. Notwithstanding the continuing economic and energy problems in certain areas of the world, over all global demand for soda ash is expected to grow from 1.5% to 2% annually for the next several years.

 

The  global meltdown had affected Indian Industry also and Soda Ash  demand growth in the year 2008 was flat. The strong rebound of the Indian  Economy was witnessed in Soda Ash also as demand growth rebounded to a very healthy 9%  in  2009. It is expected that on the back of a strong growth  in  Glass (Construction/Automobiles)  and Detergents (FMCG penetration  and  growth), Soda  Ash demand will continue to grow at 5-6% in the current year.  Import of Soda Ash from China, Europe, Pakistan and other countries like Turkey  are a  major concern for Soda Ash industry. The Finance Ministry of  Government of  India had imposed Safeguard Duty on all Soda Ash Imports from China  as part of its efforts to maintain a healthy domestic Soda Ash industry in the Country.  While  the  imposition of Safeguard  Duty  has  tempered  Chinese Imports  to  some extent, continued imports from other  European  producers where domestic markets still remain weak remains a challenge.

 

The company had successfully completed its soda ash expansion during 2007-08 which has resulted increase in production capacity up to 850 Millions  MTPA in India and globally 115 Millions MTPA. The Company's domestic production  of Soda  Ash for the year at 676079 tons, which was 9.47%  higher as  compared to the previous year. The Company achieved sales of  Soda  Ash 656684 tons during the year including exports, which was 16.74% higher than the previous year.

 

Soda Ash prices have declined YOY. Further, the increase in cost of  energy and other raw-materials have significantly affected the margin of Soda  Ash manufacturers.  However, The company is better placed because of  its  own captive  lignite  mines  and  in house developed  briquette  usages  as  an alternative  source  of  fuel, which is cost  effective  and  also  reduced dependability on other source of energy.

 

Bi-Carbonate (BICARB)

 

During the year, the Company achieved production of Bi-Carbonate 20161 tons against 12659 tons in the previous year, which is higher by 59.26%.  During the  year  the Company achieved sales of Bi-Carbonate  19648  tons  against 12343 tons in the previous year, which is higher by 60.48%.

 

Home-Textiles

 

The  timely providing of 'Stimulus Package' by the Government of  India  in 2009  to  tide over Global Financial crisis has had a  tremendous  catalyst effect  in  turning around Indian Textile Industry in 2009-10.  The  Indian Textile industry, 2nd largest in the world, after registering a decline  in 2008-09, rebounded magnificently by recording more than 8% growth in  2009-10. The exports also registered a growth of around 5%.

 

For Subject Textile Business also, the year 2009-10 has been remarkable  in terms  of  overall  performance  and profitability  of  the  company.  The company,  with it's state-of-art textile facilities from spinning to  made-ups,  has cautiously rationalised its customer base and  successfully  made deep  inroads with large Global Retailers for running  their  replenishment programmes. The company today boasts of a customer base that comprises  of Wal-Mart, K-Mart/Sears, Macy's, Bed Bath and Beyond, J C Penny and U.S.  Polo in  the  USA  and  the likes of House of Fraser,  3  Suisses  and  Galeries Lafayette  in  Europe.  Additionally, with other  measures  like  excellent cotton  coverage,  timely investment in value added  segment  like  compact spinning,  optimum  utilization  of wind energy  and  power  trading,  The company  has been able to achieve significant improvement in  profitability and operational performance in its Textile Business as compared to previous year.

 

The  operating profit of the textile division stood at Rs. 180.700 Millions  for 2009-10  as against operating loss of Rs. (141.300) Millions in  2008-09,  which signified  a  huge  improvement  of Rs. 322.000  Millions  in  profitability  as compared to last year.

 

The  Management  is  taking further initiatives in  terms  of  adding  more capacities  in  value-add segment, Printing and Cut and  Sew  facility  which would have significant benefits in the coming years.

 

Retail Initiative

 

The  company's  retail initiative under Rosebys  Interiors  India  Limited (RIIL)  is primarily focused on home and life style retailing. Rosebys  has recently signed an agreement with National Textile Corporation (NTC) to run their  stores. The first one is already operational in a  premium  shopping area  in  New  Delhand the others will be rolled out  at  different  places during  the  year. Rosebys in joint association with NTC has  been  awarded Homeware category license to sell Common Wealth Games, (CWG) 2010 propriety products across India. Rosebys in partnership with NTC would shortly launch a 'Brand' to expand its Home-Textiles Retail Business.

This outlook is based on  assessment  of  the current business environment. It may vary due to future economic and  other developments, both in India and abroad.

 

REVIEW OF ECONOMY

 

Indian economy  has  been witnessing a phenomenal growth  since  the  last decade. The country is still holding its ground in the midst of the current global  financial  crisis particularly in European  countries.  During  the financial  year  2009-10,  the  growth of  the  Indian  economy  has  shown improvement and touched 7.4% as compared to 6.7% in the previous  financial year  2008-09.  India could hit double digit growth by the next  two  years (2012) of the 11th Five Year Plan if the present trend of growth continued.

 

The economy, which had been growing at over 9%, slipped to 6.7% in  2008-09 following the impact of the global economic crisis triggered by the fall of investment  bank  Lehman Brothers in September 2008. In  order  to  sustain economic  growth  during  the  time  of  the  worst  recession,  government authorities  in  India  have announced the stimulus  packages  to  prop  up economic growth. Driven by stimulus packages and easing of monetary policy, India's  economy  during  the second quarter  (July-September)  in  2009-10 expanded by 7.9%, much more than anticipated by any analyst or think  tank. Finance Minister Mr. Pranab Mukherjee, while presenting the Mid-Year Review of  the Economy for 2009-10 had said that economy could grow in  excess  of 7.75% despite the impact of drought and floods on agriculture output.

 

Averring  to  the resilience of the Indian financial system  to  have  even weathered  the  global financial storm, the Prime Minister  Dr.  Man  Mohan Singh exuded trust in the economic system being able to peg 8.5% GDP growth during  the existing financial year (2010-11) and return to the 10%  growth route  in  the  medium  term.  According to  the  survey  conducted  by  Ma Foi  Randstad,  a leading integrated HR services  provider,  the  country's economic  recovery  is  now converting into healthy  job  creation  in  the well-organized  segment, with hiring of human resources at a greater  speed in different segments.

 

Food  inflation in India continued its upward journey and putting  pressure on  the  Government  authorities to take a serious look  into  the  matter. Regardless  of  the government's best attempts, the country's  annual  food inflation  climbed to 16.55% for the week ended May 22, 2010 due  to  lofty prices of pulses, milk and fruits. The government's verdict to increase the prices  of  auto  fuel resulted in worries that food  prices  could  go  up further  in  the  coming time, because fuel price  increase  would  have  a cascading  effect  on the already lofty costs of  vital  commodities.  RBI, which  had  already  suggested that double digit inflation is  a  cause  of worry,  is  to take a call on revision of its key rates.  The  recovery  in Global  Economy  is  largely being led by China and  India.  However  these economies  would be under constant pressure of inflation and would have  to be fine balance between growth and inflation.

 

COMPANY PERFORMANCE-PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

 

  • Revenue of the India business for the financial year ended March 31, 2010 has down  by 1.72% to Rs. 12254.600 Millions as against Rs. 12469.700 Millions for the previous financial year ended March 31, 2009. 

 

  • Profit before financial expenses and depreciation for the financial  year ended March 31, 2010 of the India business has risen by 6.44% to Rs. 3032.000 Millions  as  compared to Rs. 2848.600 Millions for the previous financial  year  ended March 31, 2009.

 

  • PAT (Profit after Tax) for the financial year ended March 31, 2010 of the India business has risen by 35.04% to Rs. 1408.500 Millions against Rs.1042.900  Millions for the previous financial year ended March 31, 2009.

 

 

INORGANIC CHEMICALS (SODA ASH) GLOBAL SODA ASH INDUSTRY

 

Demand-supply scenario

 

DEMAND

 

Global  economic  problems have reduced world soda ash  consumption.  World soda  ash  demand fell by about 9.5% in 2009. This represented  a  loss  of volume  of about 4.6 million metric tons compared to 2008. It may take  few years for demand to come back to pre-recession levels. As a result of  weak demand, world soda ash operating rates averaged just 77 percent of capacity in 2009 likely the lowest rate the industry has ever seen.

 

The  adverse  economic  conditions in  automobile  production  and  housing affected soda ash consumption in the flat glass and fiber glass sectors  in 2008  continued through 2009. Notwithstanding the continuing  economic  and energy  problems in certain areas of the world, over all global demand  for soda ash is expected to grow from 2% annually for the next 2 to 3 years.  A global economic recovery is expected in the year 2010-11.

 

SUPPLY

 

China  is the largest Soda Ash player in the world by having a capacity  of 24 Mn. MT which is around 42% of the world capacity, whereas US capacity is only  11.41  Mn. MT. The five main US natural soda ash  producers  are-FMC, General Chemical (TCL), OCW yoming, Solvay and Searless Valley (Nirma).  In 2008,  Tata  Chemicals acquired the soda ash business of US  based  General Chemical  that has manufacturing facilities in Wyoming, making  the  former the second largest producer of soda ash in the world.

 

The  capacity addition has slowed in the developed nations such as US and  UK due  to  the  increased  use of liquid  detergents,  replacement  of  glass containers  by  plastic  containers,  increased  use  of  cullet  in  glass production coupled with the stagnant industrial growth.

 

The world's largest deposit of trona is in the Green River Basin of Wyoming in  USA  having  a  presence  of  world's  major  companies  in  the   area contributing to the sustained growth of US exports. With abundant reserves, US soda ash players dominate the international trade.

 

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

 

World's  total  soda  ash  demand which at present is at  44.00  Mn  MT  is expected  to  grow by at least 2% over the medium term with 50%  of  it  is expected to come from Latin America, India, China and Middle East countries due to a higher GDP growth. Consumption of soda ash per person is  expected to  register  healthy  rise in the next few years with  China  leading  the rankings  with nearly 50% rise in consumption from 10.85 kilograms in  2007 to an expected 15.75 kilograms in 2012.

 

Analysts  expect the new capacities to come mainly in the regions  of  high growth such as India, China or South East Asia due to easy availability  of key  raw  materials.  China is likely to add at least 1.00 to  1.50  Mn  MT capacities every year in spite of declining domestic demand on the back  of huge infrastructure investments. Global market for soda ash is projected to reach  49 million metric tons by 2012, reflecting a CAGR of 3.56%  for  the period 2008-2012.

 

There  has been a major global meltdown in soda ash prices since last  year caused by lower demand and by rising costs of energy and transport.

 

The  demand  for soda ash is primarily driven by the  requirements  of  the glass industry while the needs of the fabric washing (detergents) and other cleaning  sectors also play an important role in as much as they  use  soda ash  both  directly  and  in  a  derivative  form.  The  estimated   global consumption of soda ash is expected to be in the following ratio with glass contributing 50%, Detergents 15%, Chemical 10% and others 25%.

 

INDIAN SCENARIO

 

Global  meltdown has affected the overall scenario however the Indian  soda ash industry stood resilient. Though domestic demand showed improvement  in FY  2009-10  i.e. a growth of around 10-11% over last year.  However  major part  of the growth has been snatched by imports. In 2009-10 about  23%  of the  Indian demand is being met through imports, this trend in the  current year is expected to be lower due to increase in domestic demand of China.

 

The  Indian  Soda Ash market constitutes of two  varieties-Light  (used  in detergent  industry) and Dense (used in Glass industry), with a share of  70%  and 30% respectively. Total installed capacity in India is only 3.0 Mn  MT. In  last financial year (2009-10) the capacity utilization was of only  73% of the domestic production capacity.

 

The  total size of the Indian soda ash market is about 2.6 Mn MT  with  all the  major  industry  players located in the state of Gujarat  due  to  the closeness and ready availability of the main mother earth materials  namely limestone and salt.

 

It  is  also an additional advantage to India because of  huge  reserve  of limestone  and  large production of salt due to the  availability  of  long coast  line  besides  the availability of  energy  efficient  technological plants  and  the  position to cater to the soda ash needs  of  high  growth nation viz. Middle East and South East Asian and SAARC countries. The Domestic demand is also likely to grow at a good pace.

 

GHCL SODA ASH BUSINESS

 

Subject  is a leading Indian producer of soda ash is well-poised to tap opportunities in the dense soda ash business which contributes about 30 per cent of the total revenues whereas the total soda ash business  contributes about  68  per  cent of total Indian Stand alone revenue  (Dense  soda  ash Constitutes 45% while 55% is light).

 

In  its first phase of expansion, SUBJECT  has raised its domestic capacity  by about  40 per cent to 85 Millions tons with its over all  capacity  including the  Romanian  capacity  going up to 1.150 Millions  tons.  The  company  would further increase its domestic capacity by about 25 Millions tons to 1.100  Millions tons  in the second phase in next couple of years depending  upon  industry requirement.

 

The  company  has a significant advantage in maintaining tight  control  on cost  of  soda  ash due to 100% captive source on some  of  the  major  raw materials-Salt,  Limestone,  Met Coke and fuel. The other  key  factor  for success  is  the  innovation brought in by the  company  by  replacing  the imported  Met Coke with in-house Developed Briquette Coke. SUBJECT  is the  only soda  ash  manufacturing company in India which has the captive  mining  of fuel (Lignite) leading to substantial cost reduction on the back the Kaizen System.

 

Subject   shares  highly successful client relationships and is  the  preferred supplier  to  all major soda ash consumers; its clients  include  Hindustan Unilever Limited, GharGroup, Gujarat Guardian Limited, Videocon  Industries Limited, Gujarat Borosil Limited, Piramal Glass Limited and Phillips.

 

OPPORTUNITY AND CONCERNS

 

Subject  in order to capitalize on the demand opportunity from the real  estate and construction and automobile sector has added capacity for a higher  share in  the world's fastest growing market of Asia, growing @ 5%  approximately by  increasing  its  global  capacity to 1.1 million  MT.  The  company  is replicating  its  domestic cost control methods at its  facilities  in  the European market to have higher margins.

 

The product quality is comparable to the best European producers with  cost being comparable to Chinese units. he industry offers huge opportunity for growth as the Indian per capita consumption of soda ash is the lowest (2.06 Kg)  and there are opportunities for capacity expansion because of  product acceptability in the export markets.

 

The  industry suffers from the weaknesses of concentration of 95%  capacity in  Gujarat and the cost of transport to markets in South and  East  India, which  constitutes  30% of consumption, is high as compared  to  the  ocean freights to South and East India where product is imported from China/Kenya and Europe. Currently around 23% of the Indian demand is being met by cheap imports. Import price variance continues to be extremely high.

 

Subject   has  been  able  to  maintain  a  domestic  market  share  through  a combination of market development, pro-active Direct Customer  Relationship management  Satisfaction Initiatives (CSI) and the speedy response  to  the needs  of  the market place. The impact of Global slowdown  also  impacted Romania Soda Ash operations. They have put a lot of focus on cost control and have been able to bring down the costs.

 

Delivery  model and approach SUBJECT 's core operations and  management  team  over the  last  few years have come up with a focused model and  approach  towards implementing  turnaround and growth strategies that would be  implemented  to develop the growth potential of the company and create replicable model  to be used globally.

 

In  India, SUBJECT  is well placed to leverage the opportunity in the soda  ash business  due to the Entry Barrier for any kind of Greenfield  Investments.

OUTLOOK AND GROWTH

 

The Indian Textile Industry, second largest in the World, contributes about 14% to the Country's Industrial Production and 17% to the Country's  Export earnings according to the Annual Report 09-10 of the Ministry of  Textiles. With  over  35  million  jobs, it is the second  largest  provider  of  the employment in India.

 

The dismantling of Global quotas in 2005 in the Textiles arenaled to  India and  China emerging as winners. This has led to aggressive  realignment  of production and outsourcing facilities being shifted to India and China due to the cost advantage it brings. After registering a decline in 2008-09 due to Global Financial crisis, the textile industry has emerged very strongly  in 2009-10  registering a growth of around 8.3% over previous year.  Moreover, total textiles exports have increased to US$18.60 billion during April'09 - Jan'10  from US$ 17.70 billion during the corresponding period of  pervious year,  registering  an increase of 4.95% in rupee terms. This  has  largely been  made  possible due to the timely 'Stimulus Package' provided  by  the Government of India in 2009 to tide over the Global Economic crisis.

 

Favorable Government policies, low fnance cost under TUF comparable to  any country  in the world and capital subsidy makes fnance cost extremely  low, Zero duty CENVAT chain and textile and apparel parks are the major  positives which are driving the growth in the textile sector including Home-Textiles. Home-Textile  continues its strong growth in the country with a  number  of new  projects and the growing domestic market is  attracting  international companies too. Inherent strengths and cost competitiveness of Indian textiles industry  is catalyzing major retailers and brands of the world such as  Wal-Mart, Target, Gap, Marks and Spencer and Tesco to set up shops/increasing their Indian presence augurs well for the sector.

 

The  domestic  home  textile market size, which was estimated  at  Rs.  600 billion  in  2007-08,  is expected to touch Rs.  775  billion  in  2010-11. Exports  are  expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.3% from Rs. 120  billion  in 2007-08  to  Rs. 170 billion in 2010-11. Home textile  companies  are  also foraying into domestic retail to reach the customers directly.
