OPERATIONS

 

The Company has registered an all-round improvement in its performance over the previous year 2010-11. Gross sales turnover at Rs.19220.000 millions was higher by 29% compared to Rs.14910.000 millions in the previous year. PBIDT at Rs.3920.000 millions is 76% higher than Rs.2230.000 millions in the previous year, which demonstrates Company's robust performance. The growth in Company's volume by 14% is much better than the industry's growth of about 7%. The Company achieved 100% capacity utilisation vis-a-vis industry's average of 75%.

 

During the year, the Company further improved its operating efficiencies. There was reduction in consumption of both power and fuel per unit of production. In addition, the Company improved usage of alternate fuel of bio-mass from 2% to 6%. These improvements have enabled the Company to also reduce the carbon footprint.

 

EXPANSIONS

 

Company's various initiatives towards increasing its overall cement production capacity and undertaking value added products, as under, are making satisfactory progress:

 

v      The 0.55 Million Tonnes grinding unit in Haryana with an investment of over Rs.1000.000 millions has commenced commercial production in April 2012. This has raised the Company's production capacity from 4.7 Million Tonnes p.a. to 5.3 Million Tonnes p.a.

 

v      Augmenting the existing capacity of the Company's clinkerisation at Jaykaypuram by additional 0.33 Million Tonnes p.a. from the existing 3.96 Million Tonnes p.a. to 4.29 Million Tonnes p.a. at a much lower capital cost. The additional clinker would enable the Company to further enhance cement production capacity by about 0.5 Million Tonnes p.a.

 

v      The 2.7 Million Tonnes Greenfield Project at Durg, in Chattisgarh with a capital outlay of Rs.12500.000 millions is making satisfactory progress. It is likely to go in operation by the end of the year 2013. Besides clinkerisation facility at Durg, the Project will have two additional split location grinding units in different states of Eastern India. This will enable the Company to substantially cover Eastern Indian markets.

 

v      On commencement of the above Projects Company's cement capacity will increase to about 8.5 Million Tonnes.

 

As reported earlier, the Company as a part of its growth plans, has also undertaken revival of Udaipur Cement Works Limited having an installed capacity of 1.2 Million Tonnes p.a. in Udaipur, Rajasthan. This will further increase Company's overall presence in the Cement Industry.

 

As a part of Company's overall strategy to increase its footprint into value added products, the Company is setting up an Aerated Autoclaved Concrete (AAC) Blocks Project at Haryana, which is likely to be commissioned by March, 2013. This product would help the Building Industry to save on labour cost, reduce time as well as bring down the overall cost.

 

The Company continues to consolidate its presence in RMC segment and has added two more RMC Plants during the year. Plans are afoot to further expand RMC capacity in the coming financial year, thus, taking the total number of RMC Plants to about fourteen with capacity of 7 lac Cu.Mtr/annum.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The fiscal 2011-12 saw an improvement in the growth of cement consumption to 6.9% as against 5% growth witnessed in the year 2010-11. The second half of FY 11-12 was particularly better when the demand grew by 9%.

 

Indian Cement Industry continues to face the challenge of excess capacity build up which has resulted in low capacity utilization of about 75%. Consequently, the prices are generally under pressure. The bigger challenge, however, remains from the continuous rise in the costs, particularly those of fuel and freight costs which are largely dependent on the petroleum prices being continuously on the rise.

 

Government's increased impetus on urban as well as rural infrastructure development, housing and an enhanced capital allocation towards infrastructure in the 12th - Five Year Plan, will be the major growth drivers. Higher allocation by the Govt. of India for infrastructure projects by over 25% in the Budget Proposal of FY 13, gives a confidence that the cement demand would get back to higher growth rates in the coming years. Further, part rationalisaton of the duty structure in the Budget would also help the Cement Industry to partly mitigate the high tax burden on this core industry.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

INDUSTRY SCENARIO

 

Cement industry continued to face the challenge on account of low demand for the entire FY 2011-12. The cement demand grew by only 4% in the first half of the year FY 2011-12. In the second half, however, things started looking up, especially in the states which were going for assembly elections, viz. Punjab, UP, Uttarakhand, Goa. The improvement in the second half enabled the industry to ramp up the overall demand for the year to slightly more respectable level at about 7% than FY 2010-11. Closer to home in their marketing zone with the elections in three important states, viz. Punjab, UP and Uttarakhand, their zone posted a healthy growth of 13% in the second half vis-a-vis 8% in the first half. The factors which contributed to lower demand growth in 2011-12 such as high interest rates, shortage of labour for construction, lower spending by the government departments, high inflation, etc. however, continued to prevail.

 

The new capacity creations, however, also saw a fall during the year as many of the projects which were in the construction got delayed. The new capacity addition to the extent of 47 million tonnes in FY 2010-11, fell down steeply to 6 million tonnes in FY 2011-12. This helped to correct the demand supply imbalance to some extent thereby the price scenario saw an improvement.

 

Industry has continuously been taking up the issue of high taxation, especially the high rate of excise duty which this core item to the basic infrastructure sector attracts. The government has finally accepted, albeit in part, the industry's demand and has allowed abatement of 30% against the industry's demand of 55%. This helped the industry to partly mitigate the burden of higher excise duty consequent to complete withdrawal of the stimulus package resulting in excise duty going up from 10.33% to 12.36%.

 

COMPANY'S PERFORMANCE

 

The stabilization of their Kiln I rehabilitation undertaken in FY 2010-11 helped the clinker production in FY 2011-12 to notch up a growth of 8%. This coupled with Company's improved sales performance vis-a-vis its competitors enabled the Company to achieve a volume growth of 14%. This compares favourably with the industry's growth of 7% on all India basis and 11% in their marketing zone.

 

The higher volume growth also enabled the Company to achieve near 100% capacity utilization as against industry's 75% and 80% by cement companies in their marketing zone.

 

Aided by improved pricing in different markets of their zone in the second half of the financial year combined with their growth of 14% enabled the Company to achieve gross turn over of Rs.19150.000 millions as against Rs.14860.000 millions in the previous year, registering a growth of 29%. The net sales registered a growth of 30% at Rs.17110.000 millions. The Company could achieve further milestones in the areas of power and fuel efficiency.

 

MARKETING

 

The Cement Industry continued to be plagued by the dual problems of oversupply and low demand. The demand grew by only 6.9% in the year, making this the second consecutive year of low demand (FY11 - 5%) as compared to healthy growth of 12% in FY 10, 8% in FY 09 and 10% in FY 08.

 

Notwithstanding the above challenges, the Company managed to register an overall growth of 14% in overall sales vis-a-vis the Industry growth rate of 6.9%. This also enabled the Company to achieve an overall capacity utilization of close to 100% against the overall Industry utilization of 75%.

 

The Company was able to drive this above average growth with the support of various aggressive and well focused marketing initiatives. The Company's thrust into the rural markets continued during the year. Carrying forward its mantra of 'Go Rural', the rural marketing initiative was extended to the States of Gujarat and Haryana (besides their home State of Rajasthan) which yielded good results. Extensive rural marketing activities are under progress in the areas close to their new grinding unit at Jhajjar in Haryana, for strengthening their distribution network. As a result of all these activities, the Company was able to achieve an overall rural penetration of close to 35% in the trade segment.

 

During the year the Company further consolidated its presence in their home markets of Gujarat and Rajasthan and also undertook various measures to increase its presence in the North markets. The Company's arrangement for a grinding unit in Western UP in September 2011, enabled Company's deepen reach in this market, especially its rural segment. Company's grinding unit in Haryana at Jhajjar has also since been commissioned during April 2012. These new grinding units in North would enable them in servicing their customers better, especially the rural ones whose requirements are normally in smaller lots.

 

The Company has increased its network of large and mid size dealers during the year which has enabled it to increase volumes in the trade segment. Company has also undertaken various CRM activities and loyalty programmes wherein their brand ambassador Mr. Om Puri has been featured prominently for better mass appeal and higher impact.

 

Company's other interactive branding promotions elicited excellent response as also from the key influence segment such as architects, contractors, masons, etc. In recognition of Company's brand building activities it has received the prestigious "Star Brand" award instituted by Planman Media, which reinforces the supremacy, legacy, sustainability and credibility of their brand.

 

The Company has further consolidated its presence in the Value Added Products segment of RMC / POP where the total turnover has increased by 13% to over Rs.1340.000 millions. Two new RMC plants have been set up in Kota and Ahmedabad during the year to further establish their presence in these markets. Further 2/3 RMC plants at new locations are being targeted during the coming financial year.

 

Keeping in view their proposed expansion in Durg, the Company has undertaken a large scale market research study to gain insights of the Eastern markets and build up a sound and well structured programme for launching their products in the these Markets.

OUTLOOK FOR CEMENT INDUSTRY AND STRATEGIC IMPERATIVES

 

Residential real estate, infrastructure, and commercial real estate are three major segments which account for almost 95% of total cement consumption in the country. The respective share of these three major segments in total cement demand is about 63%, 20%, and 13%.

 

Infrastructure segment which includes Power, Telecom, Railways, Irrigation, Water Supply, Ports, Airports, and Roads; though relatively smaller in size as compared to residential real estate has much higher intensity of construction.

Therefore any slowdown in the construction activities in the infrastructure segment is likely to have greater adverse impact on cement demand as compared to slowdown in rest of the segments.

 

Within infrastructure segment, 5 sectors which have 60% or more construction intensity are mostly dependent on public financing i.e. financing by either of State or the Centre as the case may be.

 

Political volatility and uncertain global economic environment has adversely impacted investments in construction intensive infrastructure segments, which, for the first time in last 20 years of cement industry history, has led to cement demand growth being lower than the GDP growth in these two years.

 

As per a McKinsey Study Report "Sustaining Infrastructure Delivery for long term demand" released during "India Infrastructure Summit 2011 Achieving Trillion Dollar Dreams" in Sept. 2011, key infrastructure sectors like Railways and Roads, where bulk of the investments are by the government, the actual achievements have been short of 11th five year plan projections.

 

In residential and commercial real estate sector too there has been an environment of uncertainty owing to variety of factors such as labour shortage, increasing interest rates, judicial interventions etc. These uncertainties over last 2 years have also adversely contributed to lower demand growth for cement.

 

Going forward in short to medium term, they expect the uncertain and volatile environment to continue for a while which may imply a moderate growth of about 7 -8% in cement demand for next 1 - 2 years. These years shall also see national general elections happening in 2014 and some major states going for elections in 2012 and 2013. In the past they have seen construction activity picking up with expediting of infrastructure projects during the election years and hence going by possibility of same happening on positive side the cement demand growth may touch 9% or more.

 

Beyond the horizon of two years, India growth story looks to be far more promising. Growth in infrastructure, housing, and manufacturing is bound to take place and all these sectors shall significantly contribute to GDP and consequent cement demand growth. India along with other emerging markets has a long way to go to reach the level of per capita cement consumption which is comparable to mature or maturing markets.

 

The Company keeping in line with expected short, medium, and long term trends is following a path of aggression with caution. In short run it is focusing on strategically located grinding units and augmenting of capacities at existing locations with minimal capital expenditure. The recently commissioned grinding unit at Jharli, Jhajjar District in Haryana is strategically located adjacent to the source of fly ash and in the influence zone of Delhi Mumbai Industrial corridor (DMIC). The other manufacturing facilities including integrated cement plant at Sirohi District in Rajasthan too are located along with DMIC, which when fully operational shall see massive spurt in construction activity and quantum cement demand growth. On the other hand the green field cement plant at Chattisgarh is making steady time bound progress and shall be operational by end of 2013, when there is overall expectation of jump in cement demand. The revival of UCWL too is on track. Both Chattisgarh and UCWL have further growth potentials that can be leveraged as and when opportunities arise.

 

In addition to growth in core cement business, the Company is also investing for growth in Value Added Products such as RMC, Gypsum Plasters, and AAC Blocks. The first AAC block plant with state of art technology is expected to be operational in the coming financial year. These products meet the ever growing customer requirements of labour and energy saving products.
