The total borrowings of the company as at 31st March, 2010, stood at Rs. 4031.600 millions (Rs.2648.700 millions as at 31st March, 2009). However, it had short term deposits with scheduled banks of Rs.6782.800 millions as on 31st March, 2010 (Rs.900.000 millions as at 31st March, 2009), thus virtually a debt free company. During the year, fertilizer bonds issued in lieu of cash subsidy of face value of Rs.3711.900 millions were sold at a loss of Rs.331.700 millions. At the year end, bonds of the face value of Rs. 1250.000 millions were held.

 

Operations

During the year, the company produced 3.330 millions tonnes of Urea (103.07% of installed capacity) compared to 3.344 millions tonnes in the previous year. The marginal reduction in production is due to additional production of 3.900 millions tones at fuel-based Nangal and Bathinda Units in previous year being economically viable considering the prevalent import parity price of urea. The production includes 9.900 millions tonnes of additional production of urea from Vijaipur unit. Marginal shortfall of 0.400 millions MT at Nangal unit was made up by producing additional Urea at Panipat and Bathinda. Company achieved ever best production of 226 tonnes of Biofertilizers and 37648 tonnes of Neem-coated urea. The percentage share of NFL in urea production in the country has been estimated at 15.8.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

State of Economy & Industry

 

During the fiscal year 2009-10, economy started recovering from the Global economic slowdown experienced during 2008-09. The economy responded well to the policy measures undertaken in the wake of global financial crisis. It was also a year of reckoning for the policy makers, who had taken a calculated risk in providing substantial fiscal expansion to counter the negative fallout of the global slowdown. A delayed and severely sub-normal monsoon added to the overall uncertainty. Over the span of the year, the economy posted a remarkable recovery in terms of overall growth and certain fundamentals justifying the optimism for the Indian economy in the medium to long run.

 

The Indian Economy (GDP) grew by 7.4% in 2009-10. This has come about despite a decline of 0.2% in agricultural output, which was a consequence of sub-normal monsoons. The fast pace recovery of the economy underscores the effectiveness of the policy response of the government in the wake of financial crisis.

 

Chemical Fertilizers have played a significant role in the development of agricultural sector. The per hectare consumption of fertilizers in nutrients terms has increased from 105.5 Kg in 2005-06 to 128.6 Kg in 2008-09. The Government has taken a number of measures to improve the fertilizer application in the country. To encourage balance use of fertilizers, a new concept of customized fertilizers has been introduced. These fertilizers are soil specific and crop specific. Organic fertilizers namely city based compost and vermin compost and bio-fertilizers have been recognized and incorporated in Fertilizers Control Order.

 

The domestic production of urea during the year 2009-10 was 211 millions tonnes against the production of 19.900 millions tones in 2008-09. The consumption of urea was 26.500 millions tonnes during the year which was almost at previous year's level. Due to buoyant demand of urea in the country 5.200 millions tonnes of urea was imported compared to 5.700 millions tones in previous year.

 

The Government implemented the Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) Policy on decontrolled Phosphatic & Potassic fertilizer with effect from 1st April, 2010. The policy entails fixation of subsidy on the basis of nutrient contents of Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potash and Sulphur in fertilizer. The NBS regime is expected to promote balanced   fertilization and consequently increase agriculture productivity in the country through higher usage of secondary and micro nutrients. It is also expected that with implementation of NBS, there will be impetus to develop new innovative fertilizers to meet the deficiencies of nutrients in Indian soil. The NBS regime is expected to reflect the actual demand of fertilizers in the country and promote realistic pricing of fertilizer products. Unshackling of fertilizer industry is also expected to attract fresh investments.

Company Profile

 

NFL was incorporated on 23rd August 1974 with two manufacturing Units at Bathinda and Panipat. Subsequently, on the reorganization of Fertilizer group of Companies in 1978, the Nangal Unit of Fertilizer Corporation of India came under the NFL fold. The Company expanded its installed capacity in 1988 by installing and commissioning of its Vijaipur gas based Plant in Madhya Pradesh.          
      

The Vijaipur Plant was a landmark achievement in project management in India. The plant was completed well within time and approved project cost. In recognition of this achievement, the project was awarded the First Prize on Excellence in Project Management by Govt. of India.
