LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

Pursuant to the Rehabilitation Scheme of The Mafatlal Industries Limited, the Chemicals Division of the company viz., Subject Bhestan, Gujarat and Navin Chemical Enterprises (NCE), Dewas, Madhya Pradesh have been demerged and vested in subject company with effect form 1st March, 2002 as a going concern along with assets and liabilities.

 

MIL was executing a project in Iraq when hostilities broke out between Iraq and kuwait in 1990-91, resulting in suspension of project work. Under report, the post war conditions and the sanctions imposed by the United Nations and the Government of India, suspended operations could not be resumed. The customer’s bankers had asked for extension of bank guarantees for advance payment and performance and the State Bank of India in turn has claimed that the funds deposited with them in respect of the aforesaid project are subject to lien. Under report of the prevailing uncertain circumstances, the receipts and payments under the contracts, transferred to the company pursuant to the SS of MIL, continue to be carried forward and necessary adjustments would be made on the status of the project becoming clearer.

 

Persuant to MIL’s SS, Income Tax Department to grant exemption from compliance of conditions contained in Section 2 (19AA) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, with regard to demerger of Chemical Division. Accordingly, as per the provisions of Section 72A of the Income Tax Act, 1961, unabsorbed depreciation, aggregating to Rs.327.903 millions, retable to the Chemical Division of MIL has been set off against taxable income of the company and the balance unabsorbed depreciation, aggregating to Rs.83.365 millions, was carried forward for the purpose of Income Tax. Consequently, there was no taxable income for the period. Deferred tax asset had been recongnized in respect of ubabsorbed depreciation carried forward. The company, based on projections, expected sufficient future taxable income to utilize this deferred tax assets.

 

During the period from 27th August, 1997 to 15th September, 1997, the workers of company had been on an illegal and unjustified strike in contravention of the Industrial Disputes Act. The Labour Commissioner of Gujarat, in his report to the ministry of labour, has concurred with the decision of declaring the strike illegal and unjustified. Under report thereof no provision had been made in the accounts for wages, etc.  The workers’ reference to the concilation officer on the justification on the strike was pending with the industrial Tribunal, Gujarat.

 

YEAR IN RETROSPECT

 

Turnover for the year remained flat at Rs. 4296.900 millions against Rs. 4293.300 millions of the previous year. Profit after tax of Rs. 716.438 millions remained broadly at the same level as that of the previous year. India in 2010-11 was clearly a high demand inflation economy with a healthy demand pull. In contrast to the earlier years, 2008-09 being a year of economic meltdown and 2009-10 being a year of correction, this has been a year of consolidation for many Indian corporates.

 

Global commodity prices have once again been on the upswing. Crude Oil reached a high of $ 110 a barrel in last March from $ 75 a barrel in June ’10. Similarly, all the major raw material prices steadily escalated during the current fiscal. There has been an increase of 30 % to 50 % in the prices of fluorspar, sulphur and chloroform, the most critical raw materials for the Company. However, through some medium term strategic buying, the Company could smother the impact of rising raw material costs while progressively increasing the selling prices of its products. During the year there have been steady price corrections for many of the finished products of the Company, bringing their margins back on track. Their sustainability, which is a function of the global demand-supply equilibrium, now needs to be carefully watched. Demand for refrigerant gases, bulk fluorides and specialty chemicals was robust in the second half of the current fiscal, both in the international and local markets.

 

 

The Indian Rupee during the year remained volatile against the US $. It reached a low of Rs. 47.51 and a high of Rs. 44.03 during the year, fluctuating in a 10% band. The Indian Rupee remained weak from May to September ’10 and thereafter kept on strengthening for the balance part of the year. This resulted in weakening of the export value realisation in the second half of the year. Unlike the US $, the Euro steadily strengthened against the Indian Rupee in the second half of the fiscal, which helped the Company’s Carbon price realisation. The Euro moved in a 15% band against the rupee from a low of Rs.56 in mid May to a high of Rs.64 in March ’11.

 

During 2010 – 11, worldwide issuance of Certified Emissions Reductions (CERs) from industrial gases projects, which includes the Company’s Project, were inordinately delayed due to an extensive study conducted by the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Board. As a result there was no issuance of CERs until the end of December ’10 and there was no CER income booked during the second and third quarter of the current fiscal. Majority of the CERs issued since the third quarter has been utilised in fulfilling the old long term contracts. The demand for carbon credits in the near term and until the end of 2012 is expected to remain steady. However, there are growing uncertainties around the Kyoto Protocol, its continuity beyond 2012 and most importantly the eligibility of industrial gases, CERs for use within the European Union (80 % of the current market) beyond 2012 as a carbon off-set instrument.

 

A strategic plan to grow the Specialty Chemicals business was formulated and a medium term road-map was drawn-up. Accordingly the Company took several steps in the past two years namely; investments in R and D, Pilot Plant, a multi-purpose plant and entry into Contract Research and Manufacturing Services (CRAMS).

 

The state-of-the-art R and D centre commissioned in 2009-10 at Surat will help the Company to develop new value-added molecules based on specific customer requirements whereas the pilot plant is expected to speed up the process of commercialization of the new molecules. Following significant investments in R and D and Pilot Plant, the Company also commissioned the state-of-the-art Multi Product Plant during the current fiscal, which increased the Company’s ability to meet changing customer needs and provide flexible product mix of enhanced process capabilities. During this year a state-of-theart Contract Research (CRO) facility was built at Surat which will support the Company’s entry into CRAMS. The contract manufacturing operations will predominantly emerge out of Dewas which will house the small batch cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) plant. Both the CRO and cGMP will become fully operational during the first quarter of 2011-2012.

 

The Company as a good corporate citizen, is alert to its responsibilities in health, safety and environmental management, the details of which are covered in the management discussion and analysis.

 

The Company continues to be rated as (a) ‘CARE A+’ (indicating adequate safety for timely servicing of debt obligations and low credit risk) for borrowings with a tenure of more than one year and fund-based facilities and (b) ‘PR1+’ (indicating strong capacity for timely payment of short-term debt obligations and lowest credit risk) for its non-fund based facilities.

 

During the year the residual debt of Rs. 80.100 millions was paid. Debentures worth Rs. 14.000 millions were also repaid during the year and the balance debentures of Rs.14.000 millions shall be paid of in the month of August 2011.

 

During the year the Company purchased 61599 Sq. Ft (built up area) of office space in Lower Parel, Mumbai at a total investment of Rs. 475.674 millions. The rental income from this property has handsomely contributed to the results of the Company.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The global recovery is proceeding at different speeds in various regions. The world economy is projected to grow at about 4.50% in 2010 and 4.25% in 2011 (Source: IMF). India’s GDP grew at a healthy 8.6% in 2010-11 against 8% in 2009-10, surpassing estimates of an 8.5% GDP growth at the start of fiscal 2010-11. This growth was largely owing to the significant growth in the agriculture sector at 5.4% (0.4% in 2009-10); the services and industrial sectors maintained their previous year’s momentum.

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

The global fluorochemical industry is worth USD 12.7 billion and global demand for fluorochemicals is expected to rise 2.7 percent annually by volume through 2013. The Asia Pacific region will remain the largest market while Africa and the Mideastern region will grow the fastest. The fluorochemical industry has sizeable entry barriers, including economies of scale needed for the profitable production of high volume products, steep research and development costs and evolving environmental regulations. Consequently, much of the global supply is concentrated among a handful of major integrated companies.

 

GROWTH DRIVERS

 

Automobile: The Indian auto industry sold 2.5 million cars in 2010-11. Growth of the Indian middle-class along with growth of the economy over the past few years attracted global auto majors to the Indian market. Moreover, according to a study released by global consultancy firm Deloitte, at least one Indian Company will be among the top six car manufacturers that will dominate the global auto industry by 2020. These developments will foster unprecedented growth in sales of fluorocarbons used in automobile air-conditioners.

 

Pharmaceutical: India's domestic pharmaceutical market is valued at around USD 12 billion in 2010 and has shown a strong growth of 21.3% for the 12 months ending September 2010, as per consulting firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC). The drugs and pharmaceuticals sector attracted FDI worth US$1.8 billion between April 2000 and September 2010, according to data published by Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP). The Indian pharmaceutical industry is expected to report a CAGR of 15% to reach USD 28 billion (Rs 1260000.000 Millions) in FY 15, catalysing demand for specialty chemicals.

 

Steel: The Indian steel industry ranks fifth in the world and India is ranked 10th among global stainless steel producers. India’s share in global crude steel production increased from 3% in 1998 to 4.7% in 2010. India’s steel consumption grew 8.3% in 2000-2010, outpacing 6% production growth. Going ahead, India’s steel production is expected to grow attractively.

 

REFRIGERATORS

 

The Indian refrigerator market has a penetration of 18% and is expected to grow by 16% over the next ten years. Rising nuclear families, increase in the working women population and deeper rural penetration will fuel the demand for refrigerators. Major industry players have lined up capacity expansions to tap increasing demand. This will strengthen the demand for refrigerants, going forward.

 

AIR-CONDITIONERS

 

The Indian room air conditioner market can grow from 2.5 million pieces to 18 million pieces in 2020, achieving a 25% market penetration. With soaring temperatures (caused by global warming), wider choice, easy finance availability and higher disposable incomes, the domestic air-conditioners industry is expected to grow at CAGR of 22% over the next ten years. Manufacturers are coming out with new models to enhance the product portfolio and reap economies of large scale production with a parallel gain in higher consumer confidence index, driving the demand for refrigerants.

 

AGROCHEMICALS

 

The Indian agricultural space reflects a huge potential for growth, reflected in a single statistic – while over half the country’s population is engaged in farming, agriculture’s contribution to the country’s GDP has remained low. Agriculture accounted for 14.2 per cent of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2010-11

 

HIGHLIGHTS, 2010-11

 

Their specialty business is dependent on niche products. NFIL’s competitive advantage is derived from our in-house capability of extending chemistry skills into successful technologies through R and D capabilities. The speed of product development is critical in business growth.
