LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE:

 

During the year, India received very good monsoon. The La Nina effect leading to high precipitation resulted in bountiful rains throughout the country. Many crops recorded higher production this year. There was bumper harvest in both kharif and rabi seasons. Prices of most of the inputs also stabilized during the year. All these factors led to overall improvement in the economy of the country. The GDP growth was also higher.

 

Barring a few countries like Argentina, the rains were good and fairly widespread in most of the countries around the world. However, there were political upheavals and public uprising which saw end of dynasty rule in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, etc. Japan suffered national calamities like earthquake, tsunami and nuclear leaks. It led to high crude oil prices which affected the economies of all countries. Fears of inflation are looming large. Economies of some of the European nations continued to remain sluggish.

 

On the back of good monsoon, the sale of agrochemicals in India in the first half of the year were higher. However, contrary to the expectations, the sales in second half were not so encouraging. On international front, the company did very good business in Latin American market. The sales of company’s agrochemicals in these parts were high and in future also, the sales of agrochemicals in the Latin American countries will go up.

 

Total net sales for the year were higher at 28091.400 millions as against 24533.900 millions. Profit before Taxes were at 2102.300 millions as against 2484.000 millions last year.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK:

 

For the year 2011-12, normal monsoons are predicted in India. This should result in higher sales and improved profitability. Further, economic situation in USA and many countries in Europe are showing distinct signs of recovery. This will positively affect the performance of agrochemical industry. With the population in India going up, food production has to go up which can be possible only by increased and regulated usage of agrochemicals. In the recent Union Budget, greater thrust is provided on agriculture, infrastructure and education. This will also help the Company to have better performance in the coming years.

 

FINANCE:

 

During the year, the Company has raised funds of 6000.000 millions by issue of unsecured Redeemable Non-convertible Debentures.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT :-

 

The Company is mainly engaged in the business of agrochemicals, other industrial chemicals and chemical intermediates. It hasalso got a captive power plant in Jhagadia.

 

The agrochemical industry has several crop protection products which can be broadly divided into herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and others. Herbicides prevent or reduce weeds. They mainly replace or reduce mechanical weeding and thereby help in reducing soil erosion, water loss and providing better targeted nutrition to the plants. Insecticides are used to control insects and pests that reduce crop yields and quality. Fungicides prevent and cure fungal plant diseases which affect crop yields and quality.

 

The agrochemical market is divided into products protected by patents and products which have gone off-patent. Majority of sales of patented as well as off-patent products are dominated by multinational corporations.

 

Over the last few years, there have been many mergers and acquisitions among existing agrochemical companies. The primary reasons for the same are slow pace of new product development, growing generics penetration and increasing cost of regulatory compliance. The industry is regulated by strict and expensive registration processes in various jurisdictions and environmental and safety legislations. There are environmental laws prescribed for production, storage and handling of inputs, intermediates and agrochemicals.

 

As the new products are slow to come in the market, the success of business depends largely on distribution network of the companies. Over the years, the Company has expanded its distribution network in the international market through various subsidiaries. The Company has also acquired new products, businesses and companies to successfully integrate new products to its existing business. Within India, it has got sales depots and distributors across the country to cater to the Indian market.

 

Population has been rising everywhere. This results in higher food consumption. Farmable land is limited and hence, productivity of land has to increase. In India, agrochemical industry is set to progress very fast in the coming years. The second Green Revolution is expected. The government is concerned with the slow growth in agriculture sector. It is providing various incentives and facilities for the growth of this sector.

 

SEGMENTWISE PERFORMANCE:-

 

a)       Agrochemicals – Agrochemicals accounted for 80% of total sales of the company. Increase in market share of the company’s products mainly consists of agrochemicals.

 

b)       Industrial chemicals and intermediates – this segment accounted for 19% of total sales.

 

c)       Power – Power plant is for captive.

 

 

d)       Exports – Exports accounted for 53% of total sales.

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK:-

 

The world economy is coming out of the downturn. Economies of USA and European countries are picking up again. This will benefit the Company significantly. In last few years, the Company’s performance had remained static on account of slackness in demand in these countries.

 

Overall business scenario for the Company is encouraging. A big advantage for the Company is that its cost of manufacture of agrochemicals in India is competitive. Further, it offers the largest range of agrochemicals. With various acquisitions, the Company has gained access to global markets and it is in a position to offer an extensive and balanced product portfolio to its customers worldwide. The Company has also strengthened its distribution reach and access to new markets by various strategic alliances with other agrochemical manufacturers of the world. The Company holds more than 1000 registrations for its products worldwide. The senior management devotes considerable time and resources in research and development for developing new products and improvement in manufacturing processes so as to enhance the quality of its products and make them more affordable. All these factors will help the Company to perform better in coming years.

 

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE:-

 

During the year, turnover has gone up from 27389.800 millions to 31337.100 millions. Exports have been 14457.500 millions. At consolidated level, the sales have gone up from 52900.400 millions to 56496.900 millions. Profit before tax on consolidated basis has increased from 5987.000 millions to 6644.400 millions.
