Times of India: 09 October 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

MUMBAI: Western Railway ran out of steam and went down rather tamely to Kenkre FC 0-2 in the RCF sponsored Nadkarni Cup pre-quarterfinal match, being played at the RCF Sports Complex in Chembur.

The Kenkre FC coach, played his cards well and let loose his young striker Taha Kachwala on the tiring Western defence and the nippy did not disappoint the decision of his coach by breaking the deadlock in the 70th minute.

The fleet-footed Kachawala made a darting run from the right and with a deft touch placed the ball beyond the reach of veteran goalkeeper, Abdul Majeed to give Kenkre a 1-0 lead.

Trying hard to equalize, Western Railway left huge gaps in defence and Kenkre striker, Y. Jugeshor Singh took advantage by beating the lone deep defender and then placing the ball in the net.

Hindustan Times (India): 01 October 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

Mumbai, Oct. 1 -- The RCF police investigating the rape and abduction of a 21-year-old woman in Chembur is taking the help of auto-rickshaw unions to identify the three accused, one of whom was an auto-rickshaw driver according to the victim, as it is beginning to suspect they are not locals.

The

police have questioned a majority of auto drivers in the Chembur-Chunabhatti stretch, but nothing has come of it so far.

"Since the driver could have come from other parts of the city, we have asked auto unions to help us in tracking him down," said an officer from the RCF police station. Another officer investigating the case said, "We found the victim's purse near the spot from where she was abducted. We are trying to find the route taken by the accused after the abduction."

S Shelke, senior inspector, RCF police station, said, "We are investigating this case on priority basis and have formed teams that are probing it from several angles."

The incident took place on Monday when the victim, who suffers from a mental disorder, slipped out of her house alone. The accused allegedly pushed her into an auto-rickshaw, raped her and dropped her at Chunabhatti. Published by HT Syndication with permission from Hindustan Times.

Cops prepare sketches of trio accused of rape

Times of India: 30 September 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

MUMBAI: The RCF police have prepared sketches of three persons, including an autorickshaw driver, who allegedly kidnapped and raped a 22-year-old homemaker with special needs on Monday .

A constable attached to the Chunnabatti police station had spotted the woman lying in an unconscious state on the roadside nearby at around 7 pm.

He then took the victim to Sion hospital.

The Chunnabatti police tracked down the victim to a chawl at the RCF locality in Chembur and informed their counterparts there about the incident.

When the victim came to her senses in hospital, she complained to her mother of pain in her private parts. "Based on her complaint, the doctors conducted a medical examination and found that she was sexually assaulted," additional commissioner of police (east region) Quaiser Khalid said.

He said the victim had visited her parent's residence at the RCF area few days ago. "The victim's parents said they were unaware their daughter had left home. Her mother only noticed she was missing early on Monday when she found the house door open," he said.

Deputy commissioner of police (zone VI) Manoj Lohiya said the victim said in her statement that she had stepped out of her house around 2 am. After walking for a short distance, an autorickshaw stopped in front of her and three persons told her to enter it, she said.

"She also said she was not aware what they did to her. When she returned to her senses, she was in hospital. She said all that she remembered was that the three in the autorickshaw had misbehaved with her," Lohiya said.

He said cases of kidnapping and gang-rape had been registered after the medical report confirmed she was sexually assaulted.

"RCF senior police inspector Shirish Shelke recorded the victim's statement in hospital. Based on the description provided by her, we are preparing sketches of the accused," he said.

25-year-old arrested for young woman's murder

United News of India: 13 September 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

Thane, Sept. 13 -- With the arrest of a 25-year-old youth from Mumbai, the city police today claimed to have solved the murder of a young lady at Mumbra some three months back. The alleged accused, Ashraf Ali Shaikh from Kurla, was in fact arrested by the RCF police in connection with a case of chain snatching last week, police today said. During interrogation, he denied the crime and came out with a different story of having killed a young woman and dumped her body in Mumbra. This led the RCF police to the Mumbra police who were struggling to solve the murder case since past three months. Giving details of the entire episode, a police officer of the Mumbra police said Ashraf was in love with Amarin Farin Lokapalli, a resident of Mumbra. They got on very well for a long time but when the girl proposed for a marriage, Ashraf was taken aback as he was to marry another girl. However, Amarin kept pestering him to marry her. Due to which, Ashraf got annoyed and he came to Mumbra one day and took her to an isolated location and strangulated her to death. To destroy the evidence, he disfigured her face with the help of huge stones and dumped her body in the Mumbra by-pass. The Mumbra police, who recovered the body in June, registered a case of accidental death as there was no trace of injury on the body of the victim and sent the body for postmortem, he said. Last week, when the RCF police referred the case to their counterparts in Mumbra, the arrested accused confessed to the murder and destruction of evidence. The police have now booked him under sections 302 and 201 of the Indian Penal Code, the police official added.

Herald, The (Scotland): 29 August 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

ONE of the drugs examined in the RCF study was finally approved for prescription by the Scottish Medicines Consortium this month after the manufacturers agreed to share some of the cost.

Mepact (mifamurtide) is used to treat children and youths with osteosarcoma, a rare type of bone cancer.

The pound(s)114,000 cost of a 35-week Mepact course was originally not seen as value for money. SMC only recommended its use on the NHS after Takeda UK, which makes the drug, submitted a Patient Access Scheme, giving a discount on the cost of the drug. The SMC said that made it more cost-effective.

Pravin Sharma scored in the final moments of the match to help a listless Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilisers (RCF) record a 1-0 win against Mumbai FC Under-19 in an Elite Division match of the Mumbai District Football Association (MDFA) League at the University Sports ground on Tuesday.

The more experienced RCF pitted against a young and inexperienced opponents looked a pedestrian lot as they were unable to put together decent combined moves especially in the first half. They were more than satisfied in clearing the ball away from their territory. Struggling to break through the Mumbai FC, frustrated RCF players and in the 43rd minute defender Sumeet Bhosle let lose his ire as he lashed out on Mumbai FC medio Vishal Kotak. Referee RosarioFernandes did not hesitate in giving Bhosle the marching orders.

Results: Super Div: Central Railway MD 4 (A Jamal (26), A Ansari (30, 47,) M Khan (54) beat Mumbai Port Trust 0. Elite Div: RCF 1 (P Sharma 90+1) beat Mumbai FC Under-19 0.

[What follows is the full text of the article.]

RCF recovered twice from a deficit to earn a point against Mumbai Customs at the MDFA League encounter at the University Ground, Marine Lines.

Sajjad Alam put the Customs ahead, once in either half, only to see the parity restored first by Praveen Sharma and later by Kevin Patrick.

RCF were the dominant side in the first 25 minutes, but poor finishing by their forwards ensured that the scoreline remained 0-0.

Customs found an opportunity against the run of play when Francisco Stalin was bought down by the opposition skipper, Manoj Adhikari.

Alam executed a smart penalty, wrong-footing RCF goalkeeper Vain Joseph to put his side ahead.

The Customs defence was shaky throughout the game. They had to rely on Lihaz Koya to pull off a couple of saves in one-on-one situations.

In the 76th minute, RCF's Sharma broke through their un-organised backline to fire in a goal from close range after the Customs defenders missed an easy clearance.

However, they found themselves a goal down within four minutes, as Alam headed in a Kirk D'Souza's free-kick.

Customs' lead lasted for a much shorter period this time. In the 85th minute, their defence once again failed to intercept an easy pass leaving their goalie exposed. Patrick, who was in the right place at the right time, converted the chance.

Results: Elite Div: Mumbai Customs 2 (Sajjad Alam 2) drew with RCF 2 (Pravin Sharma 76th, Kevin Patrick 83rd)

Super Div: Bank of India 4 (Sagar Bedekar 4) beat ICL 0

Mumbai FC thrashed PIFA Colaba 4-0 to retain the MDFA RCF Nadkarni Cup title at the RCF Ground, Chembur, on Wednesday.

Gbeneme Friday and Cavin Lobo scored for Mumbai FC in the first half. Later, PC Lalwmpuia, substitute in the second half, put the game beyond PIFA with a brace.

The opening minutes of the final were a cagey affair with neither side taking too many chances. The I-League team chose to feed long balls to their forward Abhishek Yadav to find an opening that came in the 18th minute. Yadav made a weak attempt but Friday managed to convert the chance.

One goal down, PIFA displayed positive intent. But despite their energy levels, PIFA failed to restore parity. Keeper Kishan Sulegai couldn't deal with Lobo's shot from a narrow angle in the 33rd minute.

Things got worse for PIFA in the second half. Mazar Shaikh got sent off in the 65th minute for a sliding tackle. Coming into the second half, Lalwmpuia struck twice to double the margin for Mumbai.

Mumbai FC coach Khalid Jamil said, "It wasn't as easy a game as the scoreline indicates. They are a good side and were missing a couple of players."

Jamil's unit starts their I-League campaign on October 23 against Air India in Pune. He admitted that his side was hoping to have a better finish last season. "Our main aim is to improve on our last year's position. We have a few new players and have been training to make sure that they gel together.

"In the Nadkarni Cup, we have rotated our players in all the games to make sure that most of them get game time because that is crucial to prepare for the league campaign."

Mumbai FC defeated RCF 2-1 in the quarterfinals of the Nadkarni Cup at the RCF Ground, Chembur, on Saturday.

Manuel D'Souza and Ebi Sukore scored for the I-League side while Sunny Sangar pulled one back for the home team as the action returned after a two day rain break.

Defending champions Mumbai FC were the favourites in the match but their performance in the opening exchanges of the game did little to suggest their superiority. Both sides took twenty minutes to settle down and both goalkeepers were largely untested.

Mumbai FC tried to use the height of their international forward Abhishekh Yadav, but the RCF defenders managed deal with the crosses.

Eventually, Yadav did play a part in giving his side the lead but not with his head. He controlled a long ball on the right flank, in the 25th minute, and played a delicate pass to D'souza who deflected it inside the far post.

Coming into the second half with a goal advantage, Mumbai FC slowed down the pace and tried to keep possession. In the 76th minute, the visitors doubled their lead with S Kutty Mani, receiving a high-ball, put it in the box with an overhead kick. Sukore, who was unmarked, volleyed it past Joseph.

Sangar's goal gave RCF some hope late on in the game. When Praveen Sharma won a penalty. However, the three minutes of regulation time plus the stoppages were not enough for the home team to stage a comeback. Mumbai FC will take on Kenkre Academy.

The government will invest in the overseas projects of Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilisers (RCF) and National Fertilisers Ltd (NFL) to ensure faster and smoother imports of urea.

"Although how much the government will invest is yet to be decided, we have an assurance that it will put in equity in our projects in Ghana and Indonesia," said R G Rajan, chairman and managing director, RCF.

RCF currently enjoys 10% market share in urea sales - and production.

The projects in Ghana and Indonesia would involve a total expenditure of `12,000 crore, or `6,000 crore each, and will have a debt-equity of 2:1.

Meaning, the equity required for the projects would be `2,000 crore each, a part of which would come from the government, Rajan said.

Under an MoU signed between the two governments, a gas-based 1 million tonne per annum (mtpa) fertiliser plant will be set up in the African nation, with commissioning likely by 2016-17. The project would also consist of a 2,000 tonne per day ammonia plant.

"All major details are worked out and we are in the final stages of deciding the pricing and quantity of gas to be allocated to the plant," he said.

However, its Indonesia plant will be a coal-gassification based project with a similar capacity, the details for which are currently being worked out.

Besides, Ghana and Indonesia, the company is currently looking at opportunities in Saudi Arabia as well.

With the guidance on foreign operations, the company has finally provided some visibility on its overseas plans, which had been hanging fire for quite some time and were fast becoming a matter of concern for analysts and investors.

Salil Garg, senior researcher with Fitch Ratings, said though RCF is one of the better fertiliser companies among the government-owned ones, what is difficult to gauge is what will spur the growth of the industry in the country in the face of paucity of gas.

"There has been no major greenfield or brownfield investment in the country in the last ten years in fertilisers and with the gas availability situation worsening, it becomes even grimmer," he said.

In such a scenario, an investment in overseas territories with assured supply of gas is a big relief for investors, say some experts.

"There is a demand-supply mismatch of close to 7 mtpa in urea, which is currently imported. With urea having a market share of over 50% in India's total fertiliser consumptions and growing steadily, any investment of urea domestically or overseas is a welcome move," said Satish Mishra, analysts with brokerage Pinc Research.

RCF follow-on offer likely next fiscal

State-owned Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilisers (RCF) plans to apply to the government for a follow-on public offer (FPO) by the fourth quarter of this fiscal and hit the market in the next, R G Rajan, chairman and managing director, said on Friday.

"While it will be government's decision to decide how much equity to dilute, we will be approaching the government for an FPO soon and would like to hit the markets by 2012-13," he said.

Currently, only 7.5% of the company is held by the public and it needs a further 12.5% dilution to meet the norms laid down by the market regulator for public sector undertakings. However, the FPO could see 15-20% stake diluted.

It will be pure government dilution and there will be no fresh infusion of equity by RCF as it doesn't need to raise capital for its expansion plans, said Rajan. "We have cash of over `600 crore and it is expected to increase further in the next coming years so all our equity requirements could be easily met through internal accruals."

One of the most ambitious projects the company has undertaken is of coal gasification, which will be forward integrated to produce urea for RCF.

The company, in association with GAIL and Coal India, will set up a coal gasification unit at Talcher in Orissa, with an outlay of `8,000 crore. "While `2,000 crore will go into upstream business of production of syn gas from the project, the downstream business will involve production of ammonia, nitric acid and urea and will require the rest," said Rajan.

The company will be floating global tenders in the next two months and the ground work for the project is expected to start in 18 months. The project is expected to be ready over the next three years and will produce 3,500 metric tonnes of urea.
