The turnover and net profit after tax registered an increase of 74.99 % and 443.30 % over the corresponding figures of previous year.

 

The increase in profitability is due to constant endeavour of the management with regard to cost control and cost reduction backed by higher capacity utilization.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONANDANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT:

 

India is basically an agricultural country in which economy depends largely upon its agrarian produce. Agricultural sphere contributes about 25% to the country's GDP. As a result, Indian fertilizer industry has tremendous scope in and outside the country as it is one of the allied parts of agriculture.

 

Fertilizer industry in India is dedicated to meet the requirements of agricultural industry since its inception in 1906. The industry gained impetus in its growth due to green revolution in late sixties, followed by seventies and eighties when fertilizer industry witnessed an incredible boom in the fertilizer production. However, conventional agricultural practices are still being pursued by the farmers who use most efficacious quality seeds and fertilizer due to poverty. Major portion of Indian farmland is Sulphur deficient, and it adversely affects the crop yield. N, P, K and S in proper ratio helps eliminate deficiency of soil. Single Super Phosphate (SSP) fertilizer contains Sulphur and Calcium besides Phosphorus so it is an ideal manure to eliminate sulphur deficiency of soil. SSP is a low priced fertilizer and also suitably meets the essential nutrient requirements of the soil. Therefore, it is preferred by small and marginal farmers. Subsidy on SSP has made it affordable by the cultivators. Today, Indian Fertilizer Industry is developing in terms of technology. Indian manufacturers are adopting advanced manufacturing processes to prepare innovative new products for Indian agriculture. Indian farmers have started making pace with the technological development. Uses of modern techniques of sowing have shifted the demand towards the granular product.

 

PERFORMANCE:

 

Registering a turnover of Rs. 3676.595 Millions, the Company has earned a net profit of Rs. 351.853 Millions after providing for Income Tax compared to the corresponding figures in the previous year of Rs. 2101.083 Millions and Rs. 64.762 Millions respectively. Consequently the turnover and net profit have soared by 74.99% and 443.30 % over the corresponding figures of previous year. The higher demand for fertilizers this fiscal is attributed to a better monsoon than the gone by fiscal.

 

PRODUCTION:

 

During the year, the company succeeded in surpassing the targeted production and achieved production of 386016 MT of Single Super Phosphate, NPK Mixed Fertilizers and Magnesium Sulphate as against production of 357729 MT in the previous year recording growth of 7.91 %.

 

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK:

 

For an industry dependent upon food grain production to meet the ever growing population, there is nothing but growth in store and the future outlook is positive. Recent policy initiatives by the Government pointing to decontrol augur well for the company since the Government wants to give subsidy to the farmers directly rather than routing it through fertilizer companies. When implemented, the company's fund flow will improve since there will no delay in receiving funds from the Government as subsidy which is a very time taking and cumbersome process.
