YEAR IN RETROSPECT

 

During the year, the Company achieved a sales turn-over of Rs.28458.900 millions as against Rs.26144.500 millions of the previous Financial Year. The profit before tax and the profit after tax were higher at Rs.3814.100 millions and Rs.2665.300 millions respectively for the Financial Year 2010-11 as against Rs.2198.900 millions and Rs.1238.400 millions for the previous Financial Year.

 

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

Year 2010-11 has been a year of consolidation of the Indian Economy. Growth rate in 2010-11 has been 8.6%. Growth has been broad based with a rebound in the Agriculture sector at around 5.4%. Manufacturing and service sectors have also registered impressive gains. Food inflation, higher commodity prices and volatility in global commodity markets have, however been a cause of concern. Global commodity prices have been on the upswing. Crude oil prices reached a high of $110 a barrel by the end of financial year from $ 75 a barrel in mid 2010. Similarly, all major raw material prices increased steadily during the financial year 2010-11. It is in this back-drop, the Company has registered impressive performance during 2010-11.

 

As reported last year, after the failure of Waste Heat Boiler (WHB) E-703 in Ammonia Plant on 9th February, 2010, a partial shutdown of Ammonia Plant had to betaken for the repairs of WHB E-703. Repaired WHB E-703 has been put-back into operation and all the plants of the Company have been recommissioned effective 6th June,2010. All the plants of the Company have been operating well since then.

 

Despite loss of production of Ammonia for 70 days, the Company achieved commendable production performance during the year. Some of the major plants of the Company were operated at over 100% capacity utilization. Ammonia Plant produced 4,74,868MTs of Ammonia with capacity utilization of 106.59%, Urea Plant produced 6,43,228 MTs of Urea with capacity utilization of 101.14%, Formic Acid Plant produced 19,382 MTs of Formic Acid with capacity utilization of 193.82%, Acetic Acid Plant produced 1,53,295 MTs of Acetic Acid with capacity utilization of 153.29%, Weak Nitric Acid Plant (WNA) produced2,84,307 MTs of WNA with capacity utilization of 114.87%, CNA-I and CNA-II Plants produced in aggregate 73,741 MTs of CNA with average capacity utilization of 111.73%, Ammonium Nitro phosphate Plant produced 1,66,235 MTs of Ammonium Nitro phosphate with capacity utilization of 116.66%, Aniline Plant produced 39,896 MTs of Aniline with capacity utilization of 113.99% and TDI Plant produced 17,710 MTs of TDI with capacity utilization of 126.50%. Methanol-I, Methanol-II and MSU Plants were not operated at their full capacity in view of high cost of production of Methanol coupled with reduction in its sales realization. An Melt being more remunerative, it was sold directly to the extent possible rather than using the same for producing Calcium Ammonium Nitrate.

 

Impact of economic meltdown during the previous year eased off during the financial year 2010-11. Almost all Industrial Products performed well in terms of volume and realization during the year. The Company ‘sold 7,84,592 MTs of Industrial Products during financial year 2010-11 vis-a-vis 6,67,589 MTs of Industrial Products sold during financial year 2009-10, registering an increase of around 17.5%.

 

In respect of damage to equipment E-703, the Company had lodged a claim with the Insurance Company for material damage as well as loss of profit (LOP). The Company has received a sum of Rs.1412.000 millions from the Insurance Company in full and final settlement of the claim.

 

Your company took-up 14 projects for implementation under its strategic Growth Plan. Ofthese, 8 projects were completed and commissioned by 2010-11 at a total cost of Rs.432.05Crores. 2 projects viz. Concentrated Nitric Acid III project and Weak Nitric Acid II project have been completed and commissioned during the current year 2011-12 at a cost of around Rs. 3241.300 millions  One project viz. Wet Sulphuric Acid project has been abandoned. Remaining 3 projects viz. Co-generation Power & Steam Unit (CPSU), Ethyl Acetate and Toluene  Di-isocynate (TDI) projects are presently under implementation. An Action Plan including re-organizing the Project Team has been chalked out for speedy implementation of these projects.

As per the policy of Government of India, the Company is also implementing Ammonia Plant Feed Stock Conversion Project for which the contract has been awarded to M/s Larsen& Toubro, Mumbai, on LSTK basis. This project is slated to be commissioned by August, 2012.

 

Status of various projects completed as also the projects under execution are given in Management Discussion & Analysis , forming part of this Annual Report.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS:

 

The Fertilizer industry is passing through a transformation phase. As a part of its ambitious plans, Government of India has started making important changes in the fertilizer pricing, subsidy and distribution policies. Government has already decontrolled the import of phosphatic and potassic (P and K) fertilizers, introduced Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) for P&K fertilizers, decontrolled the prices of P and K fertilizers, seta time limit for the Urea units to convert to gas based units and levied Excise duty on fertilizers.

 

Plans are underway to introduce NBS in Urea as also to pass on the subsidy on fertilizers directly to the retailers and then finally to the farmers. Pricing and import of Urea is likely to be decontrolled.

 

These policies are aimed at attracting fresh investments into the industry which is almost stagnant since the last decade while the demand for fertilizers has been increasing at a steady pace. These policies will also foster competition, reduce subsidy burden, ensure reasonable pricing of fertilizers and channeling of subsidy to the small farmers only.

 

The chemical industry is among the fastest growing ones in India. The bulk of chemicals produced in India comprise either upstream products or intermediates, which go into variety of manufacturing applications including fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, textiles and plastics, agrochemicals, paints and dyes.

 

The Company manufactures and distributes nitrogenous and phosphatic fertilizers like Urea, Ammonium Nitro-phosphate (ANP) and Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) and chemicals like Ammonia, Weak Nitric Acid, Concentrated Nitric Acid, Methanol, Acetic Acid, Formic Acid, Aniline, Toluene Di-Isocyanate (TDI) and provides various services in the area of Information Technology. The Company continues to trade in imported fertilizers like Urea, Single Super Phosphate (SSP), Water Soluble Fertilizers and Cotton seeds as well as Chemicals like Acetic Acid and Formic Acid etc. In the total turnover of the Company, the share of fertilizer and chemical divisions were 52.51% and 45.79% as against 55.41% and43.23% respectively in the previous year.

 

The Company's performance, during the first quarter of the year , was adversely affected due to the accident in E-703 of Ammonia plant on 09/02/2010, resulting into complete production loss of Ammonia, Urea, ANP and partial production loss of its downstream plants until its start up on 06/06/2010. However, with the remarkable and continuous production performance of all plants during the remaining part of the year, the Company managed to overcome the crisis with an overall noteworthy performance for the year. Dedicated and committed efforts of the Management for cost reduction in various areas of operations, constant improvements and focus on consolidation resulted instead fast gains to the Company.

 

BUSINESS SEGMENT PERFORMANCE:

 

 Fertilizer Business:

 

The Company's three fertilizers, viz. Urea, Ammonium Nitro phosphate (ANP) and Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) are sold under the brand name Narmada. Trading of fertilizers is also undertaken whenever there is suitable opportunity.

 

Company's Fertilizers business was good throughout the year and sales continued in the traditional off-season months also.

 

6.84lacs MT fertilizers constituting 71% of the total sales were sold in the Primary Marketing Zone comprising of the home State Gujarat and the adjoining States of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Gujarat, being Company's home State, 4.75lacs  MT fertilizers out of a total sale of 9.58 MT fertilizers (manufactured and traded) were sold in Gujarat.

                                     

The Company continued trading activities in Imported Urea, SSP and Cotton seeds and earned reasonable profit.

Government of India introduced Excise Duty on fertilizers from 1st March, 2011. Since the Excise Duty is to be passed on to the farmers, there would be no financial impact on the Company.

 

Government of India has asked the Urea suppliers in Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh (UP) to charge Additional Cost due to Non-recognized input Taxation (ACTN) from the farmers of Gujarat and UP from April, 2011 in order to compensate the manufacturers of Urea for the State Tax on inputs not reimbursed by the Government of India. This policy change would have a positive financial impact on the Company.

 

Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) policy introduced from 1st April, 2010 for P and K fertilizers continues during 2011-12. Subsidy on Nutrients has been increased in line with the increase in the international prices of Urea, DAP, MOP and Sulphur. Consequently, subsidy on ANP produced by the Company has also increased. The Company was free to decide the selling price of its product in the market. Accordingly, considering the market scenario, price of ANP was increased gradually and progressively, the last price rise being from 1st April, 2011. With deregulation of prices of all fertilizers except Urea, the market has become very competitive. The Company has been able to benefit from deregulation of prices by way of increased prices of ANP and CAN by taking advantage of its brand equity.

OUTLOOK:

 

Fertilizer Business:

 

• Government of India is seriously considering introduction of NBS on Urea. This would mean decontrol of pricing of Urea. This would also have a positive financial impact on the Company.

 

• Government of India is also contemplating routing subsidy on fertilizers through the retailers and finally directly to the marginal farmers. In such an event, the Company would be able to realise the entire value of sales from the market.

 

• With an expectation of a good monsoon and improved irrigation facilities, the Company 'should do well on the fertilizers sales front. The year looks to be promising .Sales of three major fertilizers, viz. Urea, DAP and MOP have been good throughout the country and it looks like the country may need to import sizeable quantity up to 65 lacs   MT of Urea this year.

 

Chemical Business:

 

• The Company is the country s largest manufacturer of Acetic Acid, Methanol Formic Acid and Aniline. The Company is the only manufacturer of TDI in India.

 

• The Company is the leading manufacturer of various building block chemicals inIndia. The Company's market share of various products in domestic market is still very good:

• All the chemicals are sold in the domestic market, wherein the realisation is maximum. Dependency on exports at GNFC is nil and exports are resorted to only, if need arises.

 

• The Company being the largest domestic supplier, many of its products have developed niche market in prominent consuming areas like Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra in case of Fertilisers & Chemicals as well as Northern and Southern India for Industrial Products.

 

• The Company faces competitions mainly from Imports, as majority of its products are being imported, especially Acetic Acid, TDI, Formic Acid and Methanol.

 

• In few cases downstream / finished products are imported.

 

• The market share of the Company is reducing each year as the production is steady and the increased demand is being met through imports.

 

• Over all, the Chemical market in India is expanding and growing.

 

Raw materials:

 

• On the raw material front, all the major petroleum inputs are being procured on import parity price basis. International prices of petroleum products have witnessed upward trend in last 6~7 months. Prices of LSHS, Benzene and Toluene are hovering at the peak levels. It is expected that the prices of these products shall remain range bound during the financial year 2011-12. The prices of indigenous coal were increased during February 2011 and it is likely that these prices may see further upward revision by about10-15% during February-March, 2012. The price of imported coal has increased by about 10%during last six months and is further expected to increase by another 10% by end o f financial year 2011-12 due to increased demand from power sector. The price of ammonia is likely to remain firm in the near future. We have fixed price contract for imported rock phosphate to cover the requirement up to March, 2012.

 

Future plans:

 

• Business of the Company is being consolidated by implementation of various projects like Ethyl Acetate, 33 MW Power Plant and TDI-II.

 

• The Company is also planning expansion in the capacities of some of the other core products.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:

 OPPORTUNITIES and THREATS:

 

Opportunities:

 

• Projects worth Rs. 6850.000 millions will be completed during the year 2011-12 and it will improve profitability of the Company.

 

• Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) amount for Complex fertilizers have been increased by the Government and hence it will improve the benefits from ANP product.

 

• Brand image of Company's fertilizers continues to be in the premium segment. This will help to consolidate markets in the Primary Marketing Zone in the partial decontrol scenario at present and total decontrol in the future.

 

• With an increase in the irrigation facilities due to Sardar Sarovar, there has been an increase in demand of fertilizers in Gujarat. The Company and its products are well placed to exploit this opportunity.

 

• It is estimated that apart from indigenous manufactured fertilizers, about 0.200 millions MT of traded fertilizers, mainly Urea, will be handled during 2011-12. This will increase the turnover and profit of the Company.

 

• Right from inception of the Company's plants, M/s Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) have met entire requirement of feed stock to full satisfaction of the Company. Existing long term agreement was valid up to 31-12-2010. GNFC and M/s IOC have signed Minutes of Meeting (MOM) for entering into new long term agreement for supply of LSHS by IOC to GNFC for the period up to 31st December, 2020.

 

• The Company has entered into Long term / Annual contracts for supplies of most of the critical raw materials like Oil, Coal, Rock phosphate, Benzene, Toluene, Caustic Soda Lye, Chlorine and packing materials, etc. which are essential for continuous production.

 

Threats, Risks and Concerns:

 

• Natural Gas and LSHS prices have increased substantially and sales realization of Methanol has reduced significantly. Hence, Methanol capacities are operated accordingly.

 

• Due to high price of main inputs viz. LSHS, rock phosphate, natural gas, coal etc., the viability of the final products based on such inputs is affected adversely.

 

• Price of crude oil has increased to more than US $ 100 per barrel in the recent past. This will have a wide ranging effect on cost of energy and other inputs.

 

• Fertilizer business depends very much on Government policies and hence may be affected based on the policy declared from time to time.

 

• Commissioning of mega plants of Methanol, Acetic Acid, TDI in Middle East, China etc. improve the global supply position leading to softening of international prices.

 

• Some of the Industrial product plants depend on Ammonia plant for feed streams /utilities. Actions have been initiated for upkeepment of various plants.

 

Extension Services and Community Development:

 

As a part of responsibility of the Company towards the farming community, the Company has established various facilities like the Demonstration Farm, Soil Testing Laboratory, and Tissue Culture Laboratory and undertook Farmers Education Programmes.

 

Through its 56 Narmada Khedut Sahay Kendra (NKSK) in Gujarat manned by trained and experienced agricultural graduates, the Company carried out various programmes for the benefit of farming community apart from selling fertilizers.

 

To promote balanced use of fertilizers and supplement the efforts of Government of Gujarat in issuing Soil Health Cards, the Company's Soil Testing Laboratory analyzed14,127 soil samples and 2,015 water samples during the year.

 

The Company undertook various activities like crop seminars and field demonstrations for efficient use of fertilizers under its Corporate Social Responsibility for the benefit of the farmers of Bharuch District in particular and the State of Gujarat in general.

 

The Company participated in 30 Agricultural Exhibitions / Krishi Melas during the year.

 

Under the Plant visit programme 1311 farmers visited Company's Demonstration Farm, Soil Testing Laboratory and Tissue Culture Laboratory during the year. The farmer’s were educated about the benefits of soil test based nutrient management, advantages of use of Tissue Culture plants in place of traditional plants and the procedure for manufacturing Vermi Compost at their own farm yard. A group of farmers were also given National Level Training on value addition in Banana Crop.
