The Company’s profits have been lower during the financial year on account of higher raw material prices, coupled with higher energy costs due to increase in cost of coal and oil. The price realization on the products has since gone up, the Company is hopeful of achieving improved profitability in the current year.

 

EXPORTS:

 

The Company’s exports were Rs.1533.400 Millions as compared to Rs. 969.200 Millions in the previous year. The 58% increase in exports was on account of higher export of Beneficated limenite coupled with higher realisation. The price of the product has further gone up and the Company is hopeful of achieving increase in exports turn over during current year.

DIVISION WISE PERFORMANCE:

 

a) PVC Division

 

The turnover of the division is Rs. 5176.300 Millions as compared to Rs. 4566.600 Millions in the previous year, registering an increase of 13%. This increase in sales was due to increase in quantity sold of PVC compared to previous year. The company sold 89944 MT of PVC resin compared to 85311 MT in the previous year. All major user segments are recording good demand and PVC industry continues to show positive growth. The Government has identified irrigation, power and infrastructure, as thrust areas and increased activity in these sectors are likely to boost demand of PVC Resin.

 

b) Caustic Soda Division:

 

The turnover of the division is Rs. 4387.200 Millions as compared to Rs. 4388.400 Millions in the previous year. The Company sold 81355 MT of Caustic Soda during the year as compared to 75611 MT in the previous year, an increase of 8%. Though Caustic Soda registered higher quantity of sales, realization on Caustic Soda has been lower during the year compared to previous year.

 

Also due to higher captive consumption of power by the company surplus power available for sale has come down compared to previous year. Average realisation on sale of power has also come down compared to previous year due to the State Electricity Board purchasing lower quantity of power.

 

c) Soda Ash Division:

 

The turnover of the division was Rs. 1882.800 Millions as compared to Rs. 1928.700 Millions in the previous year, registering a decrease of 2%. The decrease in turnover is mainly due to lower quantity of Soda Ash and Soda Bicarbonate sold compared to previous year. The Company sold 72658 MT of Soda Ash, 19638 MT of Soda Bicarbonate and 31489 MT of Detergent during the year as compared to 80186 MT of Soda Ash. 23741 MT of Soda Bicarbonate and 29721 MT of Detergent, in the previous year

 

PROJECTS IMPLEMENTED AND UNDER IMPLEMENTATION:

 

Projects Implemented during the year:

 

Additional 8.27 MW Turbine in Thermal Power Plant:

 

The Company has successfully commissioned additional 8.27 MW Turbine in its Thermal Co-generation power plant during the year. The additional turbine will help company in reducing the overall cost of energy.

 

Porjects Under Implementation:

 

Calcium Chloride Plant:

 

The Company had started necessary modification in its Calcium Chloride plant at its Soda Ash Unit, during the year as suggested by Akzo Noble, Netherlands, by installing additional equipments. The work on the plant is in final stages and is expected to start production by second quarter of 2011-12.

 

Solway Towers

 

Solway towers installed at the Soda Ash Unit are still to be commissioned. An assignment was given to Akzo Noble, Neatherlands, to do basic engineering to utilise the towers and to increase Soda Ash production. Akzo Noble has submitted Basic Engineering documents and detailed Engineering work is under progress. On completion of same company will start placing orders for doing the necessary modifications to the towers in current year and is expected to be completed by next year.

 

Synthetic Iron Oxide Pigment and Calcium Chloride Project:

 

The company is establishing a Synthetic iron oxide pigment (SIOP) plant at its production facility located at Sahupuram, in Tamil Nadu. The proposed new facility will refine and convert waste effluent stream coming out

from it Beneficiated ilmenite plant which is rich in iron (iron Chloride liquor). The project will enable the company to utilise its waste and generate a commercially viable product.

 

The facility will be employing both DCW’s inhouse developed patented yellow iron oxide pigment technology and also the technology it has licensed from Rockwood Italia (Group Company of Rockwood Pigments, USA) for manufacture of red iron oxide pigment. The facility’s annual iron oxide pigment manufacturing and finishing capacity will be approximately 32,000 TPA. Waste steam coming out from the Synthetic Iron Oxide Pigment Plant will be used to convert it into Calcium Chloride and pure water, the company will be producing 50000TPA of Calcium Chloride.

 

The Company has appointed UHDE India Limited., well known engineering company to provide engineering services for this plant. Detailed engineering has been completed and the company is in process of placing orders for various equipments with the vendors. This plant is expected to start commercial production by 2013-14.

 

DCW has also entered into a product off take agreement with Rockwood Italia for 50% of the Synthetic Iron Oxide

Pigment produced. The company to sell the remaining 50% of the product manufactured either to Rockwood Italia or to third parties at its option.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT:

 

Outlook:

 

The Company has a diversified operation with three business segments viz. PVC, Chloro Alkali and Soda Ash. It is thus reasonably protected from the vagaries of individual business cycles of these products.

 

PVC Division:

 

The Company, one of the country’s five producers of PVC resin, has maintained its market share of about 10%. Against demand of 1.75 million tons, the domestic production capacity is 1.25 Million Tons thereby leaving shortfall of over 0.50 Million Tons. Also PVC demand is growing at a CAGR of above 10%, with increased government spending towards infrastructure, agriculture and water management. The Company is exploring the possibility of increasing PVC Production, to cater to this demand supply gap.

 

Caustic Soda Division:

 

The Company continues to be a major player in South India with a market share of approximately 15%. The demand for caustic soda is expected to grow at a steady rate of 4% to 5%, especially with increased demand from alumina manufacturers. The company is able to fully use its HCL & Chlorine to maintain Caustic Production at full level.

 

The conversion from Mercury Cell to Membrane Cell technology has not only resulted in substantial capacity addition but also has brought down the consumption of power which has helped in improving the bottom-line.

 

Soda Ash Division:

 

The Soda Ash Industry continues to grow at a compounded rate of 4% to 5% per annum and this trend is expected to continue due to strong demand from end user industries. Plans are being made to marginally increase Soda Ash production by utilizing the Solway Towers and installation of Co2 compressor.

 

Sale of Surplus Power:

 

The Company’s Captive Thermal Co-Generation Plant established as part of its Caustic Soda Division to meet company’s present and future energy requirements. This Thermal Cogeneration plant at present has additional un-utilised capacity. With the demand of power going up due to power shortfall in the country, the company is

selling the excess power to Tamil Nadu Electricity Board and to third parties in the State
