HISTORY

 

Subject was formerly known as Gujarat Apar Polymers was Promoted by subject, the flagship company of the Apar group, along with the Gujarat Industrial Investment Corporation (GIIC), subject manufactures NBR (nitrile rubber) and latex. It has a 6250-tpa facility for NBR, a special oil-resistant synthetic rubber with good abrasion- and water-resistance.

   
NBR is used in the manufacture of oil well parts, fuel tank liners, fuel hoses, gaskets, packing oil seals and other oil-resistant applications. The footwear industry uses NBR for industrial and army boots. NBR latex is used in making paper, non-woven fabrics, artificial leather and in finishing / water proofing of real leather.

 

The company has signed a technical-collaboration agreement with Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, US, which will be valid for five years from the commencement of production. Goodyear is one of the largest producers of rubber and tyres besides being in the line of speciality rubber, chemicals and plastic products. There are about 12 NBR plants worldwide, of which five operate on Goodyear technology. Goodyear is being paid a technical know-how fee of US $ 750,000 in three equal installments, two being paid in advance to get the technology, and a royalty of 2% on all sales of licensed products. 

 
In Nov 2000 the captive plant for co-generation of power and steam has became operational. The Ankleshwar plant which was modernised with latest know-how of M/s Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, USA for continuous processing of NBR in place of batch processing was completed and test running is in progress in 2000-01.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS/ OUTLOOK

 

The rapid economic growth in infrastructure in India has witnessed noticeable and prominent growth in the power sector. However, there is still a substantial gap between the targets and achievements, primarily due to implementation issues. The Eleventh Plan power generation achievement in 2010-11 was 12.2 GW which was approximately 60% of the target. In order to improve the achievement in future years, a number of strategic measures are being taken up – Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPP), unbundling of state utilities, power trading exchanges, etc. To facilitate greater private sector participation in transmission segment through the competitive route, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission has issued regulations for grant of transmission licenses through competitive bidding. Power Grid Corporation, the country’s central transmission utility, has planned for Rs.810000 millions in 2010 that will be laid over the next eight years to set up transmission networks, including the evacuation of power from upcoming projects in some neighboring countries. This is in addition to the Rs. 550000 millions that it would be investing in the current five-year plan, ending 2012, to set up a national grid of 37000 MW.

 

The Company’s Transformer Oil and Conductors divisions are amongst the leaders in their respective fields, and are expected to benefit significantly from the investments that are being planned in the power sector.

 

Margins from the manufacturing activities during FY 2010-11 were increased to Rs 1701.650 million from Rs 1385.110 million in the previous year.

 

TRANSFORMER OIL AND SPECIALTY OILS SEGMENT

 

The Oil business had a good performance during 2010-11 primarily on account of improved product mix. As the demand for products with higher quality standards are gaining popularity in the markets in which the company is operating, it has been able to avail of the opportunities on the strength of its technical expertise. The profitability has increased by about 55%.

 

The Company continues to exercise prudence in its choice of business and inventory control in order to mitigate the risks experienced in 2008-09. The Company has been concentrating on higher value-added products and applications rather than focus just on volume growth. As a result, growth in terms of volume has been modest at approximately 5%.

 

The Company expects to sustain its leadership position in the market for Transformer Oils, and increase its penetration in the other segments. While the profitability in 2011-12 may be reasonably good, it may not be as strong as the previous year because of the expected volatility in the commodity markets.

 

The Net sales turnover of the “Agip" brand Automotive Lubricants produced by the Company with License and Technical Know-how of ENI-S.p.A of Italy and marketed by Apar ChemateK Lubricants Limited, (50:50 Joint Venture Company with ChemateK SpA) (ACL) stood at Rs. 1212.080 Million for FY 11. ACL has earned a Profit of Rs. 44.610 Million during FY 2010-11 as against Profit of Rs. 49.980 Million in the previous year. The sale of Agip brand products grew by 34.7% in volume over the previous year.

 

CONDUCTOR DIVISION

 

Sales revenue in FY11 increased by 34.5% from Rs 9857.980 million to Rs. 13258.170 million on account of increase in volume by 29.3% from 79510 MT to 102793 MT.

 

Segment Level profit for the year down from Rs. 601.030 Million to Rs. 467.630 Million

 

During the year, Power Grid finalised much lower tenders for conductors as compared to the past. The absence of this very significant part of the market created intensified competition in the rest of the business. Hence, margins were under pressure for the Company, and the profits were reduced. The increase in volumes helped in mitigating the impact of the margins’ reduction.

 

During the end of the year, Power Grid has started to finalize a number of tenders, and the company has received some orders for execution in the second half of FY 12.

 

The order book as of April 1, for FY12 was Rs. 12598.100 million in confirmed orders and Rs. 5607.500 million in the pipeline. The Company will continue to experience reduced margins for the first half of FY 12.

 

They expect total volume to grow by over 15% in FY12 over FY11 with a corresponding increase in profitability for this segment.

 

The Company followed a conservative hedging strategy both on foreign exchange and metal front. All fixed price contracts were hedged on a back to back basis. The mark to market losses (MTM) on such contracts as of March 31, 2011 in accordance with announcement dated March 28, 2008, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, amounting to Rs 280.400 million have not been provided in the accounts, as it is notional in nature and said loss would get extinguished on execution of firm sale price orders corresponding to these commodity contracts.
