Company is negotiating a joint venture in collaboration with Hawa Machinery, Japan, which has been supplying technology to the company for the past five years.

 

In 1998-99, the company bagged a prestigious order from Noell Stahl-und Maschinenbau GmbH, Germany for supply of hydraulic gates and allied equipments to Kali Gandaki H E P project in Nepal, which progressed satisfactorily and is nearing completion.

 

The year has been an excellent year of growth and prosperity for the Company. The Gross Turnover at Rs.9371.800 Millions was higher by 97% compared to Rs.4761.300 Millions in the previous year. It does not include the value of free-supply inputs including steel and components of over Rs.2050.000 Millions provided to the Company by Indian Railways and other clients for some large value contracts. The compound annual growth of the Company's turnover has been more than 48% over last 5 years. 

 
The Gross Profit for the year (PBDT) increased by 127% to Rs.1095.800 Millions against Rs.483.700 Millions, and profit before tax (PBT) by 133% to Rs.1007.200 Millions against Rs.431.400 Millions in the previous year. The Net Profit at Rs.690.900 Millions was higher by 143% compared to Rs.284.800 Millions in the previous year, after providing enhanced Tax liability of Rs.309.900 Millions against Rs.139.100 Millions only in the previous year. The Deferred Tax Liability for the year has been created in the Profit and Loss Account in accordance with the Accounting Standard 22 'Accounting for taxes on Income', issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 

 
Consequent to the merger of Shree Export House Limited, Neora Hydra Limited and Evershine Merchants Private Limited in terms of an order passed by the Hon'ble High Court, Kolkata, effective from 1 st August, 2007, the Share Capital of the Company stands enhanced from Rs.103.258 Millions to Rs.110.783 Milllions. The aforesaid results for the year have taken into account the said merger. 

 
THE MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: 

 
In the backdrop of the global economic slow-down in the later part of the year 2008 and the pervasive gloom, the Company had to contend against deceleration in the orders, deferment of deliveries by customers, build-up of inventories and interest burden thereof, and special credit accommodation to esteemed customers. The situation was somewhat redeemed by stimulus packages of super economic powers and there own government to resuscitate the economy. The Management, in such a grim situation, capitalised on its strengths in marketing and financial leveraging to sustain its operations through carefully orchestrated strategy in product-mix planning. It used the opportunity to enhance its competitive ability through upgradation of technology, skills and all-round cost effective measures. These did help the Company to achieve a reasonable growth in profit despite a moderate increase in total income as would be seen from the performance of the Divisions

here-below.

 
HEAVY ENGINEERING DIVISION: 

 
ROLLING STOCK: 

The Company managed to sustain the wagon production during the year at 4110 VUs, valued around Rs.8205.700 millions, marginally higher than the previous year, notwithstanding the depressed business scenario under the impact of the unprecedented global economic crisis. It may be pertinently mentioned that while wagon production during the year was more or less the same in numbers as in 2008-09, the value was substantially higher by over 22% because of the high value product-mix. Production wise, the demand for wagon rakes for movement of iron ore and container traffic suffered a severe decline. To add to the woes of the Industry, it is regrettable that even after the elapse of nearly 14 months, Indian Railways are yet to release the wagon orders for the year 2009-10, which severely contributed to the idling of the production capacity. Ironically, there is an all round clamour by the Industry on account of shortage of wagons. Yet, the continuing delay in releasing the overdue wagon orders is rather inexplicable. It is hoped that the Railway Board would lose no further time in mitigating the hardship of the Industry and protecting no less their own freight revenue. As per the 2010-11 Budget estimate, freight loading has been targeted at 944 million ton i.e. an increment of 54 million ton, and the Railways propose to invest Rs.414260.000 millions, which is the highest-ever plan outlay. This augurs well for substantially higher wagon orders in the current year. Besides, to make good the wagon shortage, a Modified Wagon Investment Scheme of Indian Railways for high capacity general purpose and special purpose wagons is on the anvil, which will permit private operators to invest in infrastructure and run special freight trains.

 

The Company expects that with the inclusion of iron ore and coal transportation under the Modified Wagon Investment Scheme, there would be substantial demand for wagons in these sectors from private parties. The Container traffic too should pick up, and the Company will be a major beneficiary in this segment.

 


Rolling Stock Turnover

 

 
There is a huge freight growth projected as per the Indian Railways’ Vision 2020. The demand for commodity-specific wagons is expected to go up substantially. The ongoing expansion of Aluminium and Cement Industries would generate substantial demand for BTAP wagons for transportation of Alumina Powder and BCCW wagons for transportation of Cement. In this context, the Directors are pleased to inform that looking to the prospective demand for BTAP and BCCW wagons, the Company has already done significant design development work on High Capacity Wagons, and the conceptual designs of the same have been submitted to Indian Railways for their approval.

 

Locomotive Car Body Shells

For the first time, the Company manufactured Car Body Shells for WAG-9 Electric Locomotives against a developmental order for eight shells, valued Rs.32.000 millions (with free steel), from Chittaranjan Locomotive Works. The first shell was dispatched on 26 Dec 2009. The order is likely to be completed in 2010. Collaboration with the United Group, Australia As a part of new business arrangements, the Company to start with, has signed during the year a Collaboration Agreement, followed by a Technology Transfer Agreement (TTA) with United Group Rail, Australia, a leading end-to-end rail technology solutions provider in the Asia Pacific Region, for special design Double Deck Container Flat Wagons. The Company is in an advanced stage of negotiation with United Group Rail for meeting some of their requirements of Wagons, Bogies and Locomotive Components, which would be an important export window to Australia.

 

Hydro Mechanical Equipment and Steel Structures

In spite of the thrust of the Government of India to harness Hydro power potential, not many projects have come up in recent years. None of the major projects took off during the year under review. Unfortunately, the execution of major contracts in hand also continued to be affected due to various environmental, climatic and human relation problems. The turnover of the Division stood at around Rs.506.300 millions only. The order book is expected to improve significantly during the current year. The year 2009-2010 marked completion of 120 MW Sewa H.E. Project of NHPC Ltd. in J and K. The surface and buried Penstock work of this project was a testimony to the Company’s technical know-how and installation expertise in an extremely rough and difficult terrain, having ever changing profile and disposition of the rocks.

 

During the year, the Company got registration with RDSO for manufacture of bridges. It executed the first order of steel railway bridge of 4 x 61.5 M span received through L and T, the Engineering and Construction conglomerate. This has opened a new business avenue having good potential.

 

Process Equipment

The Company successfully completed the order of 13 nos.200m3 Buffer Vessels of the size of 3.7m dia x 23m long weighing 82 tonnes each, and 2 nos. of 150m3 of the size of 3.3m dia x 27m long weighing 72 tonnes each, supplied to various Steel Plants. However, the operations of the Division were at rather low level owing to suspension of the activities in Sugar Machinery and Boiler segments. The Management is planning to re-organise and expand the product range of the Division. Currently, the order for 12 nos. Process Vessels of different sizes is under execution. With the Steel Plants going in for modernisation and clearance of Paradeep Refinery already given, there is a good potential for heavy process equipment.

 

Steel Foundry Division

The inordinate delay in release of wagon orders for RSP 2009-10, and the mandatory use of imported couplers imposed by the Railway Board with the introduction of Stainless Steel wagons, resulted in drastic fall in the demand of Railway castings. As a consequence, the Foundry capacity could not be utilised fully during the year. Nevertheless, the production and despatch of 18,304 MT were maintained at the previous year’s level. However, the turnover during the year at Rs.1895.200 millions recorded a fall as compared to the previous year because of low realisation and also the change in Excise Duty tariff from 14% to 8%. The exports also suffered an absence of bulk orders because of sluggish demand in the global market. The high axle load (27.5T) side frame and bolster castings developed by the foundry are currently undergoing static and dynamic testing at the AAR (Association of American Railroad) approved laboratory in Pueblo, USA prior to their clearance for use in the North American market. The tests are expected to be completed by September, 2010.

 

The foundry was awarded "Best Foundry For The Year, 2009" by The Institute of Indian Foundrymen, which is a Affiliated Member of World Foundry Organisation.

 

Agro Machinery Division

The performance of the Division was sluggish during the year owing to unprecedented drought throughout the country during the Kharif season, and also non-release of subsidy by the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, to most of the States. It is expected to pick up substantially in the current year. The division has also initiated action to explore new markets, particularly in southern states to improve its market share in Agricultural machinery.

 

The division proposes to add new agricultural machines, Tractors and Reapers, to meet the needs of middle class

farmers and thus expand its product range. In addition to the agro - machinery activity, the Division in collaboration with M/s. Nu Phalt U.K. has taken up assembly and marketing of the State-of the-Art Infrared Recycling Pothole Repairing Machine for roads. The first machine has been delivered to the Delhi Municipal Corporation, and the company expects to receive substantial orders in the current year.

 

Mini Hydel Power

During the financial year 2009-10, the plant achieved generation figure of 7.3 million units with net recorded evacuation of 6.7 million units. The generation suffered a huge set back due to sustained high voltage in 11 KV Grid of Chalsa Sub-Station since 17.10.09. The high voltage phenomenon still continues and evacuation has dropped to 50% compared to the figure of the previous year.

 

The matter has been taken up at the highest level in Distribution Lisencee (WBSEDCL) and also the State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC) and IREDA for corrective measures for removal of barriers. For availing the benefit of carbon subsidy, verification of VER and CER was completed up to November 2008. The certificate of VER for 4,124 units already issued by SGS (UK) and certification of CER for a quantity of 7,785 units is under process. The quantum of unverified CER as on 31.03.10 is around 7,400 units.

 

Real Estate

The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India disposed off all the review petitions for freehold land including that of there Company, requiring the Company to surrender on sliding scale up to 65% of its land to DDA and permitting 1.5 times of normal FAR on the remaining land, and further clarifying that in case the surrendered land is used by DDA for any commercial development, DDA shall pay the Company 50% of the amount received by it. With the judgement in hand, the Company is in a position to plan commercial development of its property at Birla Mills, Delhi. The property acquired by the Company at Gurgaon, at a prime location, has a good prospect for long term capital appreciation and is presently yielding an annual rental income of around Rs. 90.000 millions.

PRESS NOTE

 

Texmaco, a leading engineering Company, turned out excellent results in FY 2010, notwithstanding  an unprecedented global recession for a greater part of the year. It has reported an appreciable growth in its profit for the year ended 31.03.2010. While the turn-over was up marginally by 3% to Rs. 11254.900 millions. (against Rs.10912.500 millions), Gross Profit (PBDT) jumped by 23% to Rs. 1505.100 millions (against Rs..1227.300 millions) and Profit Before Tax (PBT) by 25% to Rs. 1386.100 millions. (against Rs.1109.200  millions), in the previous year.  The Net Profit  rose by 23% to Rs. 930.400 millions (against Rs.758.400 millions. in the previous year) after providing for a higher tax liability of Rs. 455.700 millions (against Rs. 350.800 millions in the previous year). The performance of the Company would have been still better but for the continuing delay in release of  wagon orders by the Indian Railways for the year 2009-10.

 

The Directors have recommended a dividend of ninety percent (90%) on the equity capital of the Company, (last year 75%), having regard to the improved working results.

 

The Rolling Stock Division of the Company achieved a production level of 4110 wagons during 2009-10. The Company hopes to receive substantial orders shortly against Railway Tenders pending for decision. With the overall improvement in the economy and huge pent-up demand for wagons, the Company expects a robust order book in the near future.

 

Aiming at diversification, the Company manufactured for the first time, Car Body Shells for WAG-9 Electric Locomotives for Chittaranjan Locomotive Works..

 

As a part of new business arrangement, the Company to start with has signed during the year a Collaboration Agreement, followed by a Technology Transfer Agreement (TTA) with United Group Rail, Australia, a leading end-to-end rail technology solutions provider in the Asia Pacific Region, for special design Double Deck Container Flat Wagon The Company is in advanced stage of negotiation with United Group Rail for meeting some of their requirements of Wagons, Bogies and Locomotive Components, which would be an important export window to Australia.            

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

The Steel Foundry Division achieved production of 18304 MT during the year, marginally higher than the previous year, despite a decline in the captive demand of the Wagon Divn of the company. The Divn has developed High Axle Load (27.5T) Side Frame and Bolster castings, which are presently undergoing static and dynamic testing at AAR (Association of American Railroad) approved laboratory in Pueblo, USA to get clearance for use in North American market.   The tests are expected to be   completed by September, 2010. It is gratifying that the  Foundry was awarded “ BEST  FOUNDRY  FOR THE YEAR, 2009” by The Institute of Indian Foundrymen, which is a Affiliated Member of World Foundry Organisation.

 

The  procurement plans for various mega Hydel Power projects are firming up after a rather sluggish spell. The Company expects to receive good orders during the year for Hydro Mechanical equipment in view of the thrust of  the Govt. of India to harness Hydro Power potential in right earnest.

 

The Birla Mill land matter having been disposed of  by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, the Company is in a position to plan commercial development of its area of the real estate in Delhi.

 

The Company has received approvals in principle from the Stock Exchanges of its restructuring proposal, and has filed an application before the Hon’ble High Court, Kolkata, which has directed to convene an Extra-ordinary General Meeting of the shareholders of the company on 07.07.2010, to obtain share-holders’ approval.
