(a) Installed capacity has been certified by the Works Manager and accepted by the Auditors without verification, being a technical matter.

 

(b) Production does not include goods processed outside. Sales, opening stock and closing stock include goods processed and purchased from outside. The closing stock is after adjustments for obsolescence and shortages. Closing stock figures, if derived from opening stock plus production / purchases and less sales would therefore be different.

A series of innovative product launches and service capabilities like Just In Time (JIT) have been some of the key enablers for sustaining the leadership. For the Decorative business, the organization is known for its innovative products and services and has many firsts to its credit like launch of low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC), low odour and lead free (no added lead) paints.

 

The organization, through the course of the last decade had benchmarked itself against the practices of several organizations and devised the Mission for all the business segments. A series of initiatives with long term strategic implications on the organization had been undertaken in all the functions.

 

Subject has always propagated innovation, use of technology and value engineering. It has continuously demonstrated leadership traits and challenged the way business is done in the Decorative as well as Industrial segments.

In order to meet the industry requirements, capacity expansions took place at Jainpur and Hosur Subject got statutory clearances for expanding the plant capabilities and commissioning at Hosur. This will be helpful in catering to future customer demands.

 

Huge investments in IT interventions are indicative of the organization’s focus on exploiting the power of Information Technology as a strategic differentiator.

Industry Progress

 

In the year 2010-11, the Indian economy has seen good growth. Demand across various key end user segments be it housing, automobiles, consumer durables has been robust. The paint industry as a whole is expected to have grown by 22% in 2010-11. During the year Subject has grown by 26%. Growth across all segments has been encouraging.

 

Through the investments and implementation of various IT packages and other strategic interventions, the organization has leveraged its brand, product range, reach, delivery capabilities, infrastructural support and operational controls to achieve the desired growth momentum.

 

As an outcome, Subject has been able to focus on the decorative and non auto liquid business, while consolidating its leadership in the Automotive and powder coatings business.

 

The year also saw high inflation which put cost pressures on the Industry and the company. The company has through a series of internal measures of operational efficiencies tried to minimize the impact. In the Decorative business the company was able to pass on the cost increases to a certain extent. However, in the Industrial business, passing on the cost impact continues to be a challenge. This has had an impact on the bottom line growth for the company.

 

As far as the market for paints segment for India is concerned, the long term fundamentals are sound and the industry is expected to grow at about 12-13% annually over the next five years.

 

Despite the long term positive growth prospects in the Indian Economy, there have been signs of tightening interest rates, increasing inflation, political uncertainties and rising commodity and oil prices. These along with the instability in the policy making process, cost pressures and market uncertainties have made the business environment very challenging for the year and years ahead. While Subject has taken various measures to meet the challenges, it maintains a cautious view about the near future both in terms of top-line and bottom-line growth.

 

The industry size for paints is estimated at Rs. 240000.000 millions wherein the organized sector accounts for 65% while the remaining is with the unorganized sector comprising of around two thousand small scale paint units. The decorative paints segment accounts for Rs. 180000.000 millions while industrial accounts for Rs. 60000.000 millions of the total paint market.

NEW RELEASE:

 

Economic Times (India)

 

08 August 2011

 

BY BY SUTANUKA GHOSAL, THE ECONOMIC TIMES, INDIA

 

August 08--KOLKATA -- Paint companies may go in for a price rise as raw material prices are going northwards. Input cost has gone up by 13 percent in the first quarter of the current fiscal year and this may force companies to increase product prices by 3 percent in coming months. Price of titanium dioxide (TiO2), one of the key raw materials for paint, will go up further as closure of a few Tio2 plants in the West has created a wide gap between demand and supply, thus pushing the prices up almost every quarter.

 

Talking to ET, Ramakanth Akula, president (decorative) of Nippon Paint (India), said: "Prices of emulsions, resins and solvents are on an uptrend as a result of volatile crude prices. Price of TiO2 has shot up by more than 20 percent in the last one year. We can expect another round of hike in the range of 2-3 percent."

 

The size of the Indian paint industry is estimated at. Rs.210000.000 millions, which has a growth potential of around 15 percent. The organised sector constitutes 65 percent of this value while the remaining 35 percent is contributed by the unorganised sector.

 

"Raw materials account for about 60 percent of the total cost. Any increase in the input cost will affect the margins adversely. In the decorative paint category, the price hikes are passed on to consumers when it becomes untenable, but it is not the same in the industrial paint sector owing to the contractual obligations," Akula added.

 

Debi Prosad Basu, president of Indian Paint Association, said: "There is a huge competition in the industrial paint category and, therefore, it will become difficult to sell the product at high prices." Berger Paints has raised prices thrice in the last quarter with an aggregate impact of 8 percent.

 

Subir Bose, MD of Berger Paints, doesn't see prices being raised anytime soon. "There is a pressure on margins as raw material inflation is continuing. But we have been successful in raising prices - thrice in the first quarter -and in another three months we would be able to stabilise our margins," Bose had said recently. Ti02 and crude based products constitute the key raw materials in the paint Industry and the prices of these products are continuously on the rise. Pravin Chaudhari, executive director (auto division and supply chain) of Kansai Nerolac Paints, said: "There has been 6 percent to 8 percent increase in prices. The price hike of paints has not yet affected the demand. The dealers have taken their stocks." It is to be seen whether consumers will pick up the stock now."

 

PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

 

29 July 2011

 

Mumbai, July 29 2011 (PTI) -- Kansai Nerolac Paints Limited (KNPL), one of the leading Paint companies in India today registered 17.9 per cent growth in net profit at Rs 612.300 millions in Q1 FY 12.

 

For the quarter, the company declared net sales of Rs 6516.600 millions, marking a growth of 24.1 per cent over the same quarter of the previous year, a company statement said.

 

"While there has been a good demand for decorative products, we have seen moderation of demand in automobiles, white goods and electrical appliances during the quarter. The inflationary pressures witnessed in earlier quarters continued. KNPL has been able to partly pass on this increase to the market," Kansai Nerolac Paints Managing Director, H M Bharuka said.

 

"Going forward, the high interest rates coupled with uncertainty in the global economy and high input prices, make the immediate future very challenging, both, in terms of top-line and profitability," he said.

 

"We will have to wait and watch as to how these factors will play out and hence the out-look for the short term remains cautious overall. However the picture of paint demand remains very positive over the long term," Bharuka added.

 

The size of domestic paint industry is estimated to be at Rs 240000.000 millions as of March 2011. The good growth in infrastructure, core sector as well as automobile and real estate is likely to have a positive effect on the overall demand of paint for the industry, he said. PTI AP NP.
