OPERATIONS

During the year the company achieved a turnover of Rs.1666.900 Millions as compared to Rs.1647.100 Millions during the previous year. The crushing was about 40% higher at Rs.0.587 Millions MT as against Rs.4.20 Millions MT last year. Recovery during the period improved to 9.15%. Power Export registered a significant increase of 66% as compared to the previous year. However, these operational improvements were overshadowed by the financial burden caused due to further increase of cane price by the State Government from Rs.205 per quintal last year to Rs.240 per quintal for 2011-12, an increase of over 17%. The prices of Sugar did not reflect the increase in raw material prices and they moved within a band of Rs.27500 to Rs.28500 per MT. The sugar prices clearly remained un-remunerative against disproportionately high cane prices imposed by the State Government.

 

Despite cost reduction measures that the company undertook as well as improvement at operating level, the company recorded a marginal operating profit (PBIDT) of Rs.15.100 Millions. To make the matters worse, during the year Supreme Court also passed a judgement to pay the differential cane price for the season 2007-2008 to the tune of Rs.78.800 Millions as a one-time expense. This exceptional item, added to the interest and depreciation led to a net loss of Rs.214.300 Millions

 

The accumulated losses of the Company have exceeded 50% of the peak net worth of the company in the immediately preceding four financial years. The company is taking appropriate steps in pursuance of section 23 (1) of Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act 1985

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL SUGAR INDUSTRY SCENARIO

 

As per International Sugar Organisation (ISO), the global sugar production is expected to rise by 9.6 Million tons to a record of 173.8 Million tons in 2011-12 with bigger crop in Thailand, China, India, Russia and European Union, Sugar supplies will exceed demand by 6.5 Million tons in 2011-12. Further Global sugar surplus is likely to be higher by 15% in the next season 2012-13. Sugar supply is likely to exceed demand by 7.8 Million tons in 2012-13 as compared to earlier estimate of surplus of 6.8 Million tons. This would be third consecutive year in which production will be higher than consumption.

 

Analysts anticipate lower sugar prices during the next six months due to higher sugar production in India and Brazil. The new agriculture year in Brazil started in March 2012 with the expected increase of 5.4% sugar cane harvest.

 

Due to surplus production the International prices during the year remained under pressure. The sugar prices which were prevailing at around USD 760 per MT in May-June, 2011 has come down to USD 560 in May, 2012 registering a downfall of over 26%. With the prevailing crude oil prices around USD 125 per barrel , Brazil the largest sugar producer on the globe may divert its cane crop for production of Ethanol on economic consideration. This may improve the international prices of sugar to some extent.

 

SUGAR INDUSTRY SCENARIO IN INDIA

As per Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA), it is expected that Sugar production in the country will cross the estimated figure of 260 lac tons and may touch 265 lac tons as against the production of 245 lac tons last year. 251 lac tons of sugar has already been produced up to the end of April, 2012 – which is almost 25 lac tons more than the corresponding period of last year. Most of the increase has been contributed by U.P. which has seen an increase of almost 11 lac tons at a total production of 70 lac tons as against 59 lac tons last year.

 

During the year, Central Government had revised upwards the Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) of cane to ` 145 per quintal from ` 139.12 last year. Against the increase of 4.2% in FRP by Central Government, the state of UP had announced the State Advised Price (SAP) of cane for 2011-12 at ` 240 per quintal, up by over 17% from previous year figure of ` 205 per quintal.

 

Sugar prices remained almost constant during the entire year with marginal variation between ` 27500 per MT and ` 28500 per ton, compared tolast year average realisation of about 27000 per MT, despite heavy increase in cane prices, which has gone up by 17% in U.P. This mismatch of cane price and sugar price has created an acute pressure on profitability, raising questions on the survival of sugar industry especially in U.P. The uneconomic high price of cane has made the operations unviable for most of the sugar mills in U.P. resulting in an all time high outstanding arrear of cane price at ` 4500 cr at the close of the season 2011-12.

 

On consistent pressure from industry, the Central Government had allowed exports of 35 lacs tons of sugar in 5 installments. Subsequently, in the month of May, 2012, the Government has freed sugar exports. This is an appreciable step by the Government, however, due to delayed decision, sugar industry may not reap the benefit as the international prices of sugar has come down to USD 560 per ton making the exports from India unattractive.

 

OUTLOOK

The impact of increase in cane price and other input cost could not be absorbed in the sugar price resulting in acute pressure on the financial health of sugar industry in India. Due to high cane price in last couple of years, farmers switched over to cane cultivation in comparison to other competing crops which resulted in continuously increasing production of sugar. Sugar production in India which was 145 lac tons in 2009-10 increased to 245 lac tons in 2010- 11 and further increased to 260 lac tons in the year 2011-12 whereas the consumption remained almost constant between 220 to 230 lac tons. As can be seen, the availability of sugar exceeds its demand creating pressure on domestic prices of sugar. On top of this, till last year export of sugar was not freely allowed and only in the month of May 2012 has sugar been freed for exports. Unfortunately this delay may not allow the industry to take full advantage due to falling international prices on account of new sugar coming from Brazil. However, this has led to a marginal improvement in sugar prices domestically.  For the survival of the sugar industry, long term policies are needed to link cane price to sugar price, increase the distance between two sugar mills from existing 15 KM to at least 25 KM preferably 40 KM, as this will allow sugar industry to expand its capacity to make the operation commercially viable.

 

The expansion of cogenerated power as well as increased use of Ethanol will help the industry to balance its revenue from different sources, hedging its dependence on the commodity cycles of sugar alone.

 

The industry has been continuously requesting Government for a phase-wise reform of sugar sector by implementing various decontrol measures. The release mechanism should be abolished and the sugar factories should have the freedom of selling sugar as per their commercial decision. The Government should consider withdrawal of the mandatory levy system and like in case of other crops such as wheat, rice etc. consider procuring suger directly from the market for public distribution system (PDS)
