LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Dividend

 

Payment of dividend at the rate of Rs.8/- per equity share amounting to Rs.30.300 Millions as compared to Rs.7.50 per equity share declared last year.

 

Review of operations

 

The Company's turnover has increased from Rs.3940.000 Millions in 2009-10 to Rs.4400.000 Millions in 2010-11. Both the Decorative and Industrial segments have grown reasonably well. However, with the increase in international crude prices, the raw material prices particularly of solvent based raw materials, have increased sharply. This has affected the overall operating margins.

 

In spite of sharp increase in the raw material prices the Company has, with improvement in operational efficiencies and changes in the product mix, improved its PBIDT from Rs.261.000 Millions in 2009-10 to Rs.284.000 Millions in 2010-11.

 

There has also been increase in the interest rates by all the working capital bankers. Further, in order to finance the increased volume of business, the utilisation levels have also increased. As a result of higher utilisation and increased interest rates, the interest costs have increased from Rs.76.000 Millions to Rs.83.700 Millions.

 

The Profit before Tax has increased from Rs.151.200 Millions to Rs.166.400 Millions.

 

Tinting systems

 

The Company continued with its policy of installation of tinting systems at various retail outlets across the country with a view to increase the demand for its high value products, especially water based products.

 

ISO Certifications

 

All the three plants of the Company at Howrah, Nasik and Sikandrabad are ISO 9000 accredited and these accreditations have been renewed in the year .

 

Management Discussion and Analysis

 

Industrial Structure and Development

 

There has been pick up of demand in both the Decorative and Industrial segments. However the high inflation is a matter of concern. Further there has also been a considerable increase in the raw material prices. The sharp increase in international crude prices have resulted in considerable increase in the prices of solvent based raw materials.

 

Both the Decorative and Industrial segments have witnessed increased demand. In the Decorative sector the real estate and infrastructure development is driving the demand. In the Industrial sector there has been a significant increase in the demand in the automotive sector which has driven the demand for industrial paints. However demand in non automotive industrial segment remained muted.

 

The Company has achieved reasonable growth in both the Decorative and Industrial segments. Since there was considerable increase in the raw materials prices, the paint companies had to increase prices of various products. Hence the sales value increase in 2010-11 is much higher than the volume increase.

 

Outlook

 

The Indian economy is expected to grow at about 8-8.5% in 2011-12. However the growth could be impacted on account of inflationary pressures. The global economic scenario could also have an impact on the growth of the Indian economy. The Company's endeavour will be to tap the market potential and increase its market share both in the decorative as well as the industrial segment.

PRESS RELEASE:

 

Business Wire

07 October 2011

 

The Indian paint industry is over 100 years old. Its beginning can be traced back to the setting up of a factory by Shalimar Paints in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1902. Until World War II, the industry consisted of small producers and two foreign companies. After the war, the imports stopped, which led to the setting up of manufacturing facilities by local entrepreneurs. Still, the foreign companies continued to dominate the market. Initially British paint companies such as Goodlass Walls (now Goodlass Nerolac), ICI, British Paints (now Berger Paints), Jenson and Nicholson and Blundell and Eomite dominated the market.

 

The industry has been doing well for the past couple of years. In spite of global economic slowdown the industry is performing well. The Indian paint market has the potential to grow over the decade at 15-20% per annum as the current per capita consumption is much lower as compared to other developing economies. The per capita consumption of paints in India is 1.25 kg against 51.7 kg in Qatar, 38 kg in Singapore or 25.8 kg in the U.S. Even China has a per capita consumption of 2.5 kg and Sri Lanka 3.5 kg.

DNA (Daily News and Analysis)

28 January 2011

 

After 'urging' two of the major corporate houses to withdraw their commercials which hurt the sentiments of Hindus, the Hindu Janjagruti Samiti (HJS) has now upped its ante against a paint company. The company, Shalimar Paints has brought out a new series of paints called 'Hussain Emulsion Paints' carrying the paintings of MF Hussain. Stating that this has hurt the religious sentiments of the Hindus, the HJS said that the paintings of the person who had the audacity to portray our motherland in a degrading manner, should not be promoted.

 

HJS co-ordinator Shivaji Vatkar was shocked when he came to know about this series launched by the company on January 10 this year. This lead him to immediately contact the corporate office of Shalimar Paints at Andheri and asking them to immediately withdraw the series. Failing to get any response from the company, he along with some other members of HJS, personally visited the company office.

 

"We explained to them the campaign that we have undertaken in a very peaceful manner. All we have to say is that no person from India should ever promote the paintings of M F Hussain mainly because he is the one responsible for hurting the religious sentiments of crores of Hindus in India," Vatkar said. He further asserts, "Hussain has hurt the religious sentiments of crores of Hindus and Indians through his blasphemous paintings of Hindu deities and Bharat Mata (Mother India). In fact, Hussain has not even spared animals and has depicted his cruelty and perversion towards animals by drawing vague pictures of them too. This has resulted in promoting enmity between different religious groups besides disturbing national integrity and harmony. He has also been accused of committing offences under section 2 of the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act."

 

The Keralaya Kshetra Paripalan Kendra Samiti, which is made up of 85 temples from all over Maharashtra, too has joined hands with HJS on this issue. Mannanur Ravindran, president of the Samiti says, "We always support the HJS in its activities. Most of the members of our Samiti feel that a person who insulted our Gods should not be promoted for any reason whatsoever. We will fight for this cause until the brand withdraws the series of paints completely."

 

Meanwhile, the company officials have promised the HJS that they will initiate steps in this direction next month. However, Vatkar says that if this does not happen then they will take the issue ahead and ask all Hindus to boycott the brand completely. "The company will have to take us seriously and will understand only when their sales drop," Vatkar concluded.
