On consolidated basis, the turnover including other income is Rs.50819.000 million as compared to Rs.33406.800 millions in the previous year. The Profit after tax and minority interest is ` 214.500 millions as against Rs.440.300 millions in the previous year. The financial and operating results for current financial year are not strictly comparable with those of previous financial year 2009-10 to the extent that current financial year includes figures pertaining to the erstwhile subsidiary Bajaj Hindusthan Sugar and Industries Limited (BHSIL) for full year, however in the previous year these were of six months period ended September 30, 2010, viz. from the Appointed Date as April 01, 2010 to September 30, 2010 consequent upon the merger of BHSIL with the Company as approved by Hon’ble High Court of Judicature at Bombay vide Order dated November 26, 2010.

 

OPERATION:

 

The Company continues to be the number one sugar and ethanol manufacturing company in India with its fourteen sugar plants having an aggregate sugarcane crushing capacity of 1,36,000 TCD, six distilleries having aggregate capacity to produce Industrial Alcohol of 800 kilolitres per day and fourteen cogeneration plants having a total power generation capacity of 428 MW.

 

Sugar

 

The operations during the financial year ended September 30, 2011 at all the sugar plants were satisfactory. During the financial year 2010-11, the Company crushed 10.220 MMT of Sugarcane and processed 0.089 MMT of raw sugar. The recovery of sugar from sugarcane was at 9.31% as against 9.24% in the previous year owing to better quality of sugarcane crop and certain other favourable factors. The Company produced 951,757 MT Sugar from Sugarcane and 86,125 MT Sugar from raw sugar and 519,391 MT Molasses during the financial year 2010-11. The Company sold 1,374,407 MT of Sugar as against 926,966 MT during the previous year, registering an increase of 48%. The Company also sold 96,497 MT of Molasses as against 54,602 MT in the previous year, registering an increase of 76%.

 

Distillery

 

During the year, Industrial Alcohol / Ethanol production was lower at 89,059 KL as compared to 94,719 KL in the previous year. Alcohol/Ethanol sales during the year were higher at 124,366 KL as against 63,123 KL during the previous year, reporting an increase of 97%.

 

Power

 

The operations of power generation were smooth at all of their fourteen sugar plants. While most of the power generated by them continued to be used captively to run their plants, the surplus power was sold to the Uttar Pradesh State grid.

 

Power generation was higher at 556,578 MW as compared to 448,901 MW in the previous year recording a growth of 24%, largely due to higher quantum of bagasse available from the crushing of sugarcane. The Company exported 175,842 MW of power during the year as against 130,635 MW during the previous year, reporting an increase of 35%. The average price at which they sold their surplus power was approximately ` 4,109 per 1000 units.

Global Scenario

 

Sugar Year 2011 (SY 2011) witnessed increased production of sugar across the globe to 161.4 million MT, an increase of 5.3% primarily driven by an increase of around 5.5 million MT in India alone.

 

During SY2011, Brazil output was revised downwards several times by UNICA and other leading sugar research agencies and this led to a speculative propelled rise in sugar prices by over 25% in the second half of SY2011 which as of date has corrected sharply. Given the increasing trend of sugar production and an estimated 167 million MT production in SY2012, it is unlikely that sugar prices will have any upward buoyancy over the next year. This is despite the fact that Brazil, SY2011 has seen a rise in the production of sugar across all major sugar producing and consuming countries. This trend is likely to continue in SY2012 despite reduction in sugar output from Brazil. The table below summarises the World Sugar Balance:

 

the largest producer is expected to have lower sugar production due to adverse weather conditions, better ethanol pricing and logistics issues. The lower production from Brazil is likely to be offset by higher output from India, Australia and notably Thailand which is expected to produce a record 10 million MT. On the other hand, the European Union is likely to witness reduced imports as large importing countries such as Russia is expected to have better beet sugar output.

 

 

 

Global Sugar Prices

 

The world sugar market continues to experience considerable price volatility. The world indicator price for raw sugar witnessed a succession of peaks and downward corrections in 2010 before soaring to a 30- year high of USD 36.08 cts/lb (USD 795.4/t) in February 2011. Market fundamentals driving volatile prices were large global sugar deficits in the previous two seasons and adverse weather in a number of countries that reduced the size of the expected rebound in production to higher prices. World sugar stocks, which had already been drawn down, fell to their lowest level in 20 years in 2010-11, supporting higher as well as more volatile market price.

 

Outlook

 

Given the much faster rebound of production, global stock to consumption ratio (a key indicator of health of the sugar industry) is expected to rise in the near term impacting global prices with a negative bias.

 

Brazil is expected to consolidate its position as the leading global exporter and will account for over 55% of global trade and over 63% of all additional sugar exports by the close of the projection period. While the bulk of Brazil’s exports will continue to comprise high quality raw sugar, which is likely to increase to 21 million MT in 2020-21, the composition of trade will also start to favour white sugar shipments which grow by 50% and amount to over 12 million MT in the same period. The growing concentration of global sugar exports is not without risks for sugar users as world export supplies depend increasingly on the growing conditions of a single country. This may be another factor, in addition to production cycles in Asia, which contributes to future market volatility. A possible counterweight is that a majority of Brazil’s sugarcane will continue to be used for ethanol production and many mills have the capacity to produce both sugar and ethanol. Brazil also remains the only exporter that can switch 5-10% of milling capacity between sugar and ethanol production within a year in response to changes in relative profitability between the two end uses. This flexibility should help assure sugar production and export availabilities, when relative prices periodically favour sugar over ethanol production.

 

Another important feature will be the influence of India on global sugar prices. As India’s exportable surplus increases as it happened in SY2010 is likely in SY2011, global prices will have a downward pressure.

 

II. Indian Scenario

 

As is typical of the Indian sugar industry, production continues to be largely influenced by the level of sugarcane production which in turn is dependent on the minimum support prices of sugarcane be it State Advised Price (SAP) or the Fair and Remunerative Price As per Government, the opening stock at the beginning of 2010-11 is 49.80 lakh tonnes.

 

The difference in ISMA figures and government figures is on account of:

 

(i) 5 lakh tonnes BIS sugar reprocession in 2009-10 sugar year.

 

(ii) 4.13 lakh tonnes released for export although only 2.35 lakh tonnes were exported.

 

(iii) 1 lakh tonne difference in imported sugar during 2008-09 & 2009-10.

 

Given the remunerative cane prices, sugarcane acreage has increased and is likely to result in increased sugar production to around 26 million MT in SY2012 resulting in total exportable surplus of 9.98 million MT. Even if India were to export 3 million MT, the closing inventories would be quite high at 6.98 million MT.

 

(FRP). Given the high sugarcane price set, sugar cane production and consequently sugar production in India has rebounded in SY2011 to around 24.5 million MT from 19 million MT in the previous year.

 

Industry Drivers:

 

The Performance of the Industry mainly depends on :

 

1. External factors

a. Availability of sugarcane

b. Sugarcane prices

c. Government policy

d. Sugar prices

2. Internal factors

a. Plant size and location

b. Plant efficiency

c. Value addition from by-products

d. Financial Management

 

External Factors

 

a. Availability of Sugarcane

 

The following table gives the annual area under cultivation and sugarcane production :

 

The total area under cane is estimated to increase to 5,079,000 hectares according to ISMA which substantiates our

view of a likely sugar production of around 26 million MT in SY2012.

 

Area under sugarcane has consecutively declined by 5% in Sugar Season 2009-10 and 15% in Sugar Season 2008- 09. This decline was mainly due to crop switching by farmers on account of higher Minimum Support Price received by them for alternate crops. This trend reversed in SY2010 and continued to increase in SY2011. Yield per hectare has improved marginally from 66 tonnes per hectare to 68 tonnes per hectare. The following table gives the annual state-wise area under cultivation.

 

There is a notable increase in cane acreage in Maharashtra (6.2%) and Uttar Pradesh (5.98%), the two largest sugar producing states of India.

 

b. Sugarcane prices

 

Sugarcane is the main raw material in the production of sugar and accounts for around 65-70% of the cost of production. Financial performance therefore has a high co-relation to cane prices. Any increase in the sugarcane price adversely impacts profitability. Minimum price of sugarcane are regulated by the Government and upper side by market demand-supply. The Central Government decides the minimum price called the Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP), which is the basis for minimum price to be paid by the sugar mills to purchase cane from farmers across the country. The FRP was based on the recommendations of the

Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices. FRP was fixed at ` 129.84 per qtl. for sugar season 2009-10 and is linked to a base sugar recovery of 9.50% subject to premium of `1.37 per qtl. for every 0.1% increase in recovery.

 

The FRP announced for the sugar season 2010-11 is ` 139.12 per quintal linked to recovery of 9.5% subject to premium of ` 1.46 per quintal for every 0.1% increase in recovery. SAP fixed by UP State Government is ` 205 per qtl. for the same period. On November 8, 2011, the Uttar Pradesh Government announced a hike in sugarcane SAP for the crushing season 2011- 12 by ` 35 a quintal. The price of ` 240 per quintal is substantially higher than the Central Government’s FRP of ` 145 per quintal of cane for the season 2011-12.

 

The SAP hike is a blow to the millers in U.P., who are already making a loss of almost ` 2-3 a kilo due to higher cost of production of sugar. Presently the exmill price of sugar is hovering around ` 28.50 a kg. in Uttar Pradesh. If mills have to pay a price of ` 240 per quintal to the farmers, then the ex-mill price will have

to be somewhere between ` 33-34 a kg.

 

c. Government Policy

 

Sugar being an essential commodity and having weightage (1.74%) in the WPI 2004-05 base, is highly regulated industry wherein 9 different legislations controlling cane pricing, external trade and control on sugar, molasses that can be sold in the open market.

 

Domestic sugar sales are regulated by the Central Government which decides how much a mill can sell in the open market i.e. free sale quota and how much is to be released by the mills for distribution through the public distribution system i.e. levy quota which is presently at 10%. This levy quota was 20% till season 2009-10. For season 2010-11, it is again revised as 10%

Levy and  90% Free. In view of SMP being replaced by FRP, the levy price will also undergo a revision and now levy sugar price may be calculated by taking FRP as a base instead of SMP. Levy sugar prices are usually lower than market prices. Sugar sales are subject to release orders from time to time. Few of government policies announced during the season 2010-11 are briefed below:

 

Cane and Sugar Policy

 

The Central Government has announced several policy measures during the year under review as well as for the future. The salient features of the sugar policy measures are:-

 

1. Restrictions ton export of sugar. During the year, 1 million tonne sugar only was allowed to be exported and that too in two tranches. This denied the industry the benefit of spurt in international sugar prices which went as high as 32.57 cents per pound in February 2011.

 

2. Stock holding limit on sugar. While on the one hand the institutional customers were not allowed to hold stock of sugar beyond their ninety days’ consumption, they were allowed to import sugar without any restriction. This led to lesser offtake of sugar and softening of the prices.

 

3. The Government continued its policy to impose 10% levy obligation for the Public Distribution System (PDS) on the domestic sugar mills which was procured at a price lower by ` 1000/qtl as compared to the market price.

 

4. The levy price fixed for 2010-11 was ` 1863.47/qtl in Uttar Pradesh.

 

5. UP Government has, through a November 8, 2011 order, announced a ` 35-40 per quintal increase in the State Advised Price (SAP) of sugarcane for the year 2011-12. Landed cost of cane (inclusive of basic SAP, purchase tax, society commissions

and inward freight costs) shall be around ` 260/qtl.

 

 

The rise in cane price shall affect the cost of sugar manufacturing and reduce the margins. Mills are now required to pay farmers at least ` 240 per qtl for general variety of cane, and ` 250 per quintal for early maturing varieties that have higher recovery against ` 205 and ` 210 per qtl respectively during the last season. The higher cane price shall mean the cost of production to increase by about ` 3.60 per kg (taking into account a recovery of 9.5%). The sustainability of the mills at such a high price is possible only if the sugar price gets hiked.

 

6. On November 22, 2011, the Central Government allowed export of a million tonne of sugar under Open General Licence for the 2011-12 crop marketing year that started in October and also lifted the stock holding limit on the sweetener from November 30, 2011. The export would help improve the industry`s cash flow by ` 2,800-2,900 crore, considering an average ex-mill price of ` 2,800-2,900 per quintal which will be utilised in making payment to sugarcane farmers and reduce inventory carrying cost. The withdrawal of holding limits will generate demand for stocking purposes. However, it is very unlikely that mills would make hefty profits after this export decision, since international prices had also softened.

 

Ethanol Policy

 

As per ISMA, about 580 million litres of fuel ethanol supplies were contracted for the Oct.-Sep. 2011-12 blending seasons. Against this, nationwide E-5 mandate, targeted by the Central Government, would require 1 billion litres. Currently, there are apprehensions that sufficient ethanol is available for fuel purposes because of requirements from the beverage and chemicals industry and restrictions imposed by certain sugarcane producing states on movement of ethanol/spirits. d. Sugar Prices Sugar realisations have remained below the cost of production for three quarters in a row. Increased sugar production and restrictions on exports have created a surplus in domestic markets. The outlook, especially on the price front, is not likely to be very positive as the 2011-12 season is expected to see an even higher production, which is likely to serve to keep prices low.

 

Internal Factors

 

a. Plant Size and Location

 

As with any other industry, size is of vital importance in the sugar industry. Large size will enable mills to take advantage of economies of scale and reduce cost of production.

 

Sugar plants need to be located in an area where adequate sugarcane is available. It is also vital that the mill is able to attract a high percentage of cane for crushing out of the total cane grown in the area. Sugarcane is bulky and also needs to be crushed as soon as it is harvested. Hence, it is important that the plants

are located close to cane farms.

 

b. Plant Efficiency

 

Sugar recovery is one of the major factors affecting financial performance. Even a small increase in recovery level could have a significant impact on the profitability of a company. Sugar recovery inter-alia depends on internal plant efficiencies, time taken by the mill to crush cane from the time it is harvested, processing losses etc. Factors like development of infrastructure around the plant, maintenance of plant and machinery also helps in obtaining higher recoveries.

 

c. Value Addition from By-products

 

Optimal utilisation of by-products is another key variable in company performance. Integrated sugar mills which produce Alcohol and Power are more likely to perform Bagasse and Molasses. By opting for an integrated model, mills earn a higher margin due to higher value addition and partially mitigate risk arising out of a down turn in sugar business.

 

d. Financial Management

 

Sugar industry is highly working capital intensive. Sugar operations are seasonal in nature. Crushing operations last for an average of around 125 days, whereas sale of sugar is throughout the year. However, crushing duration varies across the country depending on cane availability etc. In UP for instance, crushing is done around 150 – 160 days in a year from October till April. Working capital is therefore required during the crushing season and gets liquidated out of sales proceeds. Efficient working capital management lowers interest cost and improves profitability.

 

Ethanol Opportunity

 

In order to exploit the opportunity thrown open by Government of India decision to allow blending of Ethanol with petrol at 5% level, they increased their Ethanol production capacity from 60 KL/day to 800 KL/day. The Company has been one of the largest supplier of Ethanol in country for blending purpose and had supplied the years 2006-2009 to Public sector oil companies.

 

Government of India has fixed interim basic price of Rs.27 per Litre as against last price of Rs.21.50 per Litre. The Company certainly sees big potential in Ethanol blending programme due to benefits attached to it like boost to farming / rural community, value addition to by-product of Sugar Industry Molasses, curb on pollution, less dependence on fossil fuels, cut of import bill, etc. As per the Bio-Fuel policy, Government has plans to increase the blending percentage from current level of 5% to 20% by the year 2017.

 

Other than Ethanol for blending purpose, they have equally good presence in market for sale of Alcohol for industrial and potable use. They maintain product-mix of alcohol (means sale of Alcohol for potable, Industrial, blending) such that they get the optimum realisation on their product.

PROFILE

 

Subject, a part of the 'Bajaj Group', is India's Number One sugar and ethanol manufacturing company, headquartered at Mumbai (Maharashtra), India.

 

The Company has fourteen sugar plants, which are all located in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh (UP): Golagokarannath, PaliaKalan and Khambarkhera (district LakhimpurKheri), Barkhera (district Pilibhit), Kinauni (district Meerut), Gangnauli (district Saharanpur), Thanabhavan and Budhana (district Muzaffarnagar), Bilai (district Bijnore), Maqsoodapur (district Shahjahanpur), Pratappur (district Deoria), Rudauli (district Basti), Kundarkhi (district Gonda) and Utraula (district Balrampur). These plants have an aggregate sugarcane crushing capacity of 136,000 tcd (tonnes crushed per day) and a distillery capacity to produce 800,000 litres of alcohol per day.

 

Subject is India’s largest ethanol producer. It is the pioneer of India’s fuel ethanol programme. Subject is currently producing 38 million litres of ethanol in a year. In anticipation of emerging market demand, the Company has increased its ethanol manufacturing capacity to nearly 218 million litres per year.

 

Subject generates close to 430 MW of power from the bagasse produced in its sugar mills. After meeting its own energy needs, Subject has a surplus of around 100 MW. The Company supplies a significant part of this surplus power to the UP state grid. BHL recently embarked upon the expansion of its power generation capacity by 450 MW through the setting up of new coal based power plants of 90 MW each in the vicinity of 5 of its existing sugar units. These new projects have been commissioned successfully at an aggregate project cost of around Rs. 23 billion.

 

Besides this, through a Consortium, the Company, in a major diversification move, has also embarked on developing two mega thermal power projects in UP, each of which will produce 1,980 megawatts of power, ready for commissioning by around 2014-15.

 

Subject’s wholly owned subsidiary, Bajaj Eco-tec Products Limited (BEPL), produces environment-friendly Medium Density Fibre Boards (MDF) and Particle Boards (PB), both from its bagasse waste. Both MDF and PB are invaluable substitutes for wood in construction and furnishing. The manufacturing of MDF and PB has been a trail-blazing venture in India. It will protect and preserve India’s forests from commercial exploitation by the construction and furniture industries. A 50,000 cubic metre MDF plant saves one lakh mature trees from being cut down in a year.

 

BEPL is among the very few units in the world to manufacture MDF and PB that is completely wood-free. Its three Units, put together, turns out 210,000 cubic metres of MDF and Particle Boards in a year. This will prevent the felling of an estimated 420,000 fully matured trees annually.
