INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

HISTORY:

 

Armed with little knowledge and great determination, Champaklal H. Choksey, Chimanlal N. Choksi, Suryakant C. Dani and Arvind R. Vakil get together to manufacture paint in a garage on Foras Road, Bombay. They named their company as 'The Asian Oil and Paint Company'. It was started in the year 1945 and now the subject becomes 10th largest decorative paint company in the world. By the way of producing Decorative Paints and Industrial Coatings, the company pioneered in the segment from inception of its business. Subject operates in five regions across the world viz. South Asia, South East Asia, South Pacific, Middle East and Caribbean Region through the four corporate brands viz. company, Berger International, SCIB Paints and Apco Coatings. Also presents in 22 countries with 27 manufacturing locations, over 2500 SKU's, Integrated SAP, ERP and i2 and SCM solution. Subject mascot, Gattu, the mischievous kid was born in the year 1954. The name was changed to Asian Paints (India) Private Limited in the year 1965.

 

The Company was converted into a public limited company in the year 1973. A major modernisation programme was undertaken to streamline the paint production facilities by improving the layout of machines, addition to balancing equipment and replacement of old machinery during the year 1974 to meet the demand. During the year 1985, The Company had set up a third paint unit at Patancheru, a notified backward area near Hyderabad, for the manufacture of 15,000 MT of paints and enamels and also in the same year entered into a collaboration agreement with Nippon Paints Company Limited, Japan, to obtain technical know-how to manufacture powder coating and coil coatings. Company commissioned a plant for the manufacture of synthetic rubbers lattices with a capacity of 1,200 tonnes per annum in the year of 1987. In the identical year of 1987, the company jointly with Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO) promoted a joint sector company under the name of Pentasia Chemicals Limited, (PCL), for the purpose of manufacture 3,000 TPA of pentaerythritol and 1,800 TPA of sodium format.

 

In the year 1990, the company had promoted Asian Paints (South Pacific) Limited, in Fiji and Asian Paints (Tonga) Limited are two joint venture sets up in abroad with the Company supplying the necessary know-how. Both these are the Company's subsidiaries. Apart from this, also the company had formulated two more joint ventures in the same year of 1990 under the names and styles of Asian Paints (Nepal) Private Limited and Asian Paints (S.I.) Limited. The Company acquired 1910000 equity shares of Rs.10 each in the share capital of Pentasia Chemicals Limited from TIDCO in May of the year 1991. As an upshot, PCL became a subsidiary of the company. Manufacturing facilities for the powder coatings with a capacity of 300 MT were installed and commissioned at Kasna plant during 1992-93 and in the year 1993, the company had set up a joint venture unit along with its overseas subsidiaries, in Queens land, Australia for manufacture of paints, enamels and varnishes. Pentasia Chemicals Limited was merged with the company. The assets and liabilities of the erstwhile PCL are vested with the company with effect from 1.10.1994. Asian Paints had sets up a joint venture unit during the year 1995 for the manufacture of paints, enamels and varnishes in the Republic of Mauritius. The joint venture involved a total cost of 18300000 Mauritius Rupees. Out of this 49% financed by the company and the remaining balance from Mauritian parties. A joint venture company namely Asian PPG Industries Private Limited was set up during the year 1996 along with PPG Industries, Inc. of USA to market and/or manufacture automotive paints and certain Industrial products. The Company had introduced three new products, NC range of wood finishes, ACE Exterior Emulsion and Asian wall putty in the year 1998 and also in the same year launched a new marketing thrust with the introduction of a one-stop Colour shop for paints complete with a software for consumers to choose and select their different shade combinations. Launched its first exclusive showroom in Mumbai. In its first-ever acquisition overseas, the company had acquired a 76 % of equity stake in Sri Lanka-based Delmege Forsyth and Company (Paints) Limited during the year 1999. Subject had launched two variants in polyurethane (PU) wood finish under the brand name Opal in the year 2000 and in the same year opened a manufacturing plant in Oman in partnership with a local company. Also the company had acquired the entire paints business of Pacific Paints Company based in Australia in the year 2000 for over of Rs.10.000 Millions. For the festive season in the year 2001, the company had introduced Utsav Enamel. In 2002, APL revamped its international operations and transferred shares in its subsidiaries in Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Island, Vanuata, Australia and the Sultanate of Oman to the Mauritius based subsidiary Asian Paints International.

 

During the same year 2002, the company had acquired controlling stake of 50.1 per cent in Berger International, Singapore, for the consideration of Rs.580.000 Millions. In 2003, Asian Paints, via its Singapore-based subsidiary - Berger International - inks a technology and brand licensing agreement with PT Abadi Coatings Solusi, an Indonesian paint company and also in the year, acquired Taubmans Paints (Fiji) Limited through its subsidiary in Fiji, Asian Paints (South Pacific) Limited, (APSP). Asian Paints amongst the Indian companies in Corporate Governance ranked by The Asset, one of Asia's leading financial magazines in the year 2002.

 

During 2003-04, Pentasia Investments Limited, (wholly owned subsidiary of the company) was merged with the company. In 2004, the company had launched paint solutions for kids. In January of the year 2005, Asian Paints new paint plant at Sriperumbudur, in Tamil Nadu was commenced its production. Berger International made a partnership with Filipino firm Dutch Boy during the year 2005.

 

During the year 2006, the company had commissioned a manufacturing facility for powder coatings at Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. The Company was ranked 24th amongst the top paint companies in the world by Coatings World - Top Companies Report 2006. In September of the year 2007, company tailored its first exclusive industrial coatings manufacturing facility at Taloja in Maharashtra; it covers 12 acres of land and has an installed capacity of 14,000 KL per annum in the first phase. The Company performed 'Bhoomi Pooja' (ground breaking ceremony) at the site of its proposed state-of-the-art paint plant with initial production capacity of 1.5 lakh KL at the Industrial Model Township (IMT), Rohtak of Haryana in June 22nd of the year 2008.

 

Company aims to become one of the top five Decorative coatings companies world-wide by leveraging its expertise in the higher growth emerging markets. Simultaneously, the company intends to build long-term value in the Industrial coatings business through alliances with established global partners.

 

STANDALONE FINANCIALS:

 

Net Revenue from Operations for the standalone entity increased to Rs. 79641.600 Millions from Rs. 63360.800 Millions in the previous year – a growth of 25.7%. The operating profit (EBITDA) increased by 21.2%, from Rs. 12321.600 Millions to Rs. 14932.400 Millions. The profit after tax for the current year is Rs. 9583.900 Millions as against Rs. 7751.500 Millions in the previous year – a growth of 23.6%.

 

EXPANSION OF THE JOINT VENTURE WITH PPG INDUSTRIES INC., USA.

 

During the FY 2011–12, the Company has filed a Composite Scheme of restructuring under Section 391– 394 of the Companies Act, 1956 and other applicable provisions with the Hon’ble High Court of Judicature of Bombay. The Scheme envisages merger of AP Coatings Ltd (100% subsidiary of the Company) and a wholly owned Indian subsidiary of PPG Industries Securities Inc., USA (PPG) i.e. PPG Coatings India Private Limited into Asian PPG Industries Limited (APPG), 50:50 joint venture between the company and PPG and thereafter, certain businesses will demerge into Asian Paints PPG Limited (APPL), new 50:50 joint venture between the Company and PPG.

 

As informed in the last year’s Annual Report, the new Joint venture will service the protective, industrial powder coatings, industrial containers and light industrial coatings markets. The Company will have effective management control in APPL while PPG will take lead in APPG. This would enable utilization of respective strengths in order to capture the growth in infrastructure development and globally driven markets in India.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

 

The year began with several challenges both on the domestic and international fronts. The upheaval in Middle East, sovereign debt crisis in the European countries and weak recovery hopes for other developed economies threatened to derail the global economic environment at the beginning of the year. Additionally, India had its own set of challenges viz., inflation, interest rates and regulatory uncertainties. Amidst all these, however, there was a sense of optimism and hope that the environment would recover sooner than later and it was expected that the Indian economy would grow at around 8.5% on the back of strong domestic demand and a thrust on Infrastructure development.

 

Reality, however, turned out to be otherwise. The macro business environment during the year was characterized

by uncertainty and volatility. The set of challenges which they began with either intensified or are still to be addressed. The sovereign debt crisis in Europe remains unresolved, USA saw a downgrade for the first time in the recent history and Middle East continues to face socio-political tensions. Expectedly, crude oil prices have remained firm during the year leading to commodity inflation across the board. The world has been trying to solve these problems or at least avoid any further aggravation, for quite some time now.

 

The ground realities in India have not met the expectations either. The country is expected to have grown at 6.9%

during the year against a growth of 8.4% registered in previous year. This in itself is an indication of the pressures being faced on the domestic front. Although disappointing, the fact that the country was battling near double digit inflation (mainly due to global cost push and agricultural supply constraints) cannot be ignored. Sticky inflation also led to a tight monetary policy which moderated growth during the course of the year. The impact was largely felt on the industrial sector whereas agriculture and services continued to do well. The rupee felt this pressure and breached the 50 level mark during the year, aggravating the concerns for importers.

 

However, after remaining subdued for a better part of the year, some of the indices have started looking up. Inflation has started showing signs of easing and RBI has responded by cutting CRR and interest rates, signaling a softer regime going forward. It remains to be seen how the economy responds to these measures.

 

In this uncertain environment, the Company has made the best use of its resources and abilities to come out stronger from the tides. They have a lot to thank the outgoing Managing Director and CEO, Shri P M Murty for what the Company has achieved. His contribution to the Company during his tenure needs no reiteration. They are indeed grateful to him for his leadership and guidance.

 

THE PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY DURING FY 2011-12 IS DETAILED BELOW:

 

PRODUCTS AND MARKETS:

 

The Company operates in Decorative coatings and Industrial coatings segments across India and in the geographies of Asia, Middle East, Caribbean and South Pacific Islands through its subsidiaries and joint ventures. It has presence in 17 countries with 24 paint manufacturing facilities.

 

The Paint industry volume growth in India during FY 2011-12 was strong across regions, albeit a bit lower than initial expectations. Margins in the industry were under pressure owing to surging inflation in input prices seen during the year. Industrial Paints business faced pressures due to the slowdown witnessed in the Industrial sector. Especially in automotive coatings, the markets didn’t perform as was expected initially due to surging fuel prices and tightening interest rates.

 

International business did well in spite of the regional turmoil in Middle East and subdued economic conditions in the Caribbean region. The Asian markets fared well owing to strong domestic demand conditions. Raw material inflation caused pressures on the margins of international units as well.

 

DECORATIVE PAINTS INDIA:

 

Decorative Paints contribute more than 75% of the Indian Paints market. The Company continues to do well in the market place and has focused on defending the position earned over the years. Strong volume and value growth was seen in the segment during FY 2011-12. The strategies followed by the Company have enabled it to grow satisfactorily in spite of stiff competition.

 

The key feature of FY 2011-12 was the high level of inflation for the second consecutive year. Despite five price increases with an overall impact in excess of 12%, gross margins dropped during the year. Fortunately, the substantial increases in prices did not affect demand which continued to be fairly robust. Going forward, margins are likely to remain under pressure in light of the uncertainty in commodity and other input prices.

 

The trend of high growth in emulsions and exteriors witnessed in recent years continued. This helped in registering a better mix and higher growth rates. Overall, the product mix offered by the Company is getting richer on account of good growth rates seen in emulsions, thus steadily reducing the dependence on enamels and distempers. The Company offers the broadest mix in the product portfolio to the customers and has successfully established its strength in the premium segment in the last few years. During FY 2011-12, the interior emulsion category continued to grow well on the back of good marketing work done in Royale (the new Teflon co-branding and the launch of the Shyne variant). Tractor Emulsion continues to grow extremely well, thereby, becoming the preferred Economy Emulsion in the market. The Exterior Emulsion category has strengthened with the inclusion of Apex Ultima and textured finishes in the portfolio. Asian Wall Putty has also been growing well in the recent past.

 

Major thrust areas were identified to secure growth, ensure customer satisfaction, supply chain capability and capability building for the future during FY 2011-12. The Company continued to expand its sales network. The ColourWorld reach has now grown to over 21000 dealers. The 43 Colour Idea stores that have been opened so

far continue to be an area of consumer delight. The concept would be expanded significantly over the next three years. The Signature stores in Mumbai and Delhi (which was opened during the year) continue to attract a large number of consumers who respond very positively to the experience. Innovative marketing initiatives are being undertaken to increase consumer connect and awareness on painting. The ‘Happy Painting Guide’ and ‘Colour Scheme PRO’ (Mobile application enabling consumers to create colour combinations) that have been launched are a step in this direction. Samplers and Foresites service continue to receive a good response. Shop-boy and dealer training and other Critical Retailer’s specific initiatives are also being undertaken vigorously.

 

With volumes doubling nearly every five years, the Company needs to invest in capability to effectively implement its growth strategies. Work on the construction of the 7th Decorative paint plant at Khandala (Maharashtra) is progressing steadily and is on course for commissioning a capacity of 300,000 KL in fourth quarter of FY 2012-13. Rohtak plant (Haryana) produced 125,000 KL in its second year of operation. The capacity at Rohtak has been increased from 150,000 KL to 200,000 KL per annum and this capacity is now available from the first quarter of FY 2012-13.

 

Construction of the Distribution Centre at Patancheru Plant is underway and by the end of FY 2012-13, all plants with the exception of the Bhandup Plant would have operating Distribution Centres allowing complete migration to the new Distribution Model. This new model is expected to facilitate higher service levels with lower levels of inventory going forward.

 

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS:

 

FY 2011-12 was a challenging year for the overseas operations of the group. Most of the international markets where the Company operates continued to be impacted by difficult market conditions. The political turmoil in Egypt and Bahrain continued and impacted demand. Bangladesh was impacted by sharp currency depreciation and a liquidity crunch in the market that has pushed up interest rates.

 

The focus in the international operations of the group during the year was on strengthening position in the market place through initiatives to improve customer centricity, increasing the number of dealer tinting systems, introduction of new  products, expanding the dealer network, increasing exports, focus on protective and industrial coatings segments and improving service level to minimize loss of sale due to stock outs. All these steps coupled with tight control on expenses and capital employed have helped the international operations of the group perform satisfactorily despite difficult market conditions. Sharp focus was accorded to further enhance safety standards in all subsidiaries. During the year, the subsidiaries in UAE and Trinidad were certified for ISO 14001.

 

The revenue from paint sales of the overseas operations of the group for the year is Rs. 11386.000 Millions as compared to Rs. 9745.000 Millions during the previous year. Material prices during the year saw an inflationary trend and profitability was impacted due to inability to take price increases commensurate with increase in material prices. The impact of inflation was mitigated to some extent by formulation re-engineering, economies of scale in purchasing and reducing losses in manufacturing.

 

Profit after tax for the overseas operations of the group during the year is Rs. 723.000 Millions as compared to Rs. 879.000 Millions during the previous year. During the year, Asian Paints International Limited, Mauritius, a 100% subsidiary of the Company, declared its maiden dividend. The dividend received during the year amounts to US$ 3.4 million (equivalent to Rs. 158.000 Millions) and royalty received during the year from overseas subsidiaries amounts to Rs. 152.000 Millions. The revenue from paint sales of Berger International Limited, a subsidiary listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange has decreased by 1% to S$ 107 million (equivalent to Rs. 4130.000 Millions).

 

CARIBBEAN REGION:

 

During the year, the revenue from paint sales has increased by 9.5% to Rs. 1718.000 Millions from Rs. 1568.000 Millions. Adjusted for exchange rate impact, the revenue from paint sales has increased by 3.7%. PBIT (profit before interest and tax) for the region is Rs. 76.000 Millions for the year. Continuing economic slowdown in all the Caribbean economies, coupled with state of emergency declared in Jamaica and Trinidad impacted demand. All the subsidiaries in the region have earned profit after tax.

 

MIDDLE EAST REGION:

 

During the year, the revenue from paint sales has increased by 12.1% to Rs. 5784.000 Millions from Rs. 5159.000 Millions. Adjusted for exchange rate impact, the revenue from paint sales has increased by 8.9%. PBIT for the region is Rs. 615.000 Millions for the year.

 

The Middle East region is the largest operating region for the group outside India. The region now contributes 50% of the revenue from overseas operations. Demand conditions in all economies continued to be challenging, particularly in UAE. Political turmoil in Bahrain and Egypt has further impacted the business environment in these countries. Except UAE, all the other subsidiaries in the region have earned profit after tax.

 

ASIA REGION:

 

During the year, revenue from paint sales has increased by 31.0% to Rs. 3147.000 Millions from Rs. 2403.000 Millions. Adjusted for exchange rate impact, the revenue from paint sales has increased by 28.0%. The PBIT for the region is Rs. 246.000 Millions for the year.

 

Bangladesh has received environmental clearance for increasing its plant manufacturing capacity to 24000 KL per annum. The expansion is expected to be completed in FY 2013-14. In Nepal, capacity expansion to 20000 KL per annum is under way. This is expected to be completed in FY 2012-13. In the region, Nepal and Sri Lanka have earned profit after tax and Singapore and Bangladesh have reported a loss.

 

SOUTH PACIFIC REGION:

 

During the year, revenue from paint sales has increased by 20.9% to Rs. 906.000 Millions from Rs. 750.000 Millions. Adjusted for exchange rate impact, the revenue from paint sales has increased by 7.3%. The PBIT for the region is Rs. 122.000 Millions for the year. All the subsidiaries in the region have made profit.

 

INDUSTRIAL COATINGS:

 

AUTOMOTIVE COATINGS: ASIAN PPG INDUSTRIES LIMITED (APPG):

 

APPG, the 50:50 Joint Venture (JV) with PPG Industries Inc., was formed in the year 1997, for manufacturing Automotive, OEM, Refinish and certain other Industrial Coatings. APPG is the second largest automotive coatings

supplier in the country. The passenger vehicle segment registered a mere 4.7% growth during FY 2011-12, in sharp contrast with 26.7% growth in builds witnessed in FY 2010-11. Rising fuel prices and a series of interest rate hikes drove up the price of ownership, slashing demand. However, most OEMs posted decent growth in the last quarter of the year aided by strong pre-budget demand from customers.

 

The year also saw high inflation which put cost pressures on the Industry and the Company. The Company has taken series of internal measures to improve operational efficiencies and minimize the impact on margins due to input price pressures. In the Auto Refinish business, the Company was able to pass on the cost increases to a certain extent. However, in the Auto OEM business, passing on the cost impact continued to be a challenge. This has impacted the bottom line growth for the Company during the year.

 

Capacity enhancements, operational excellence, higher service delivery, reduced inventory has been the agenda for supply chain function. In order to meet the industry requirements, capacity expansion at the Sriperumbudur plant was embarked upon during the year. This will be helpful in catering to future customer demands. Total revenue from operations increased to Rs. 6591.000 Millions from Rs. 5695.000 Millions in the previous year with a growth of 15.7%. The profit after tax dropped to Rs. 262.000 Millions from Rs. 329.000 Millions.

 

The consolidated revenue from operations was Rs. 6873.000 Millions and the profit after tax was Rs. 268.000 Millions. Despite the long term positive growth prospects in the Indian economy, the year ahead appears challenging due to the challenging market conditions, increased competition, volatile foreign exchange, high interest rates, inflation and rising crude oil prices.

 

NON-AUTO INDUSTRIAL COATINGS:

 

PARTNERSHIP WITH PPG:

 

The Company had initiated the process of forming a second 50:50 Joint Venture with PPG Industries Inc., USA (PPG) last year to further the long standing and successful relationship with PPG. As announced earlier, this JV will aggressively promote the industrial coatings and powder coatings products (earlier serviced by the Company through its Growth Business unit and its 100% subsidiary Asian Paints Industrial Coatings Limited (APICL)) in India. It will leverage the significant expertise, market presence, and channel access of the Company in the domestic market with the considerable global scale and technology of PPG. The Company will be responsible for day to day management of this new JV.

 

As a first step to the JV formation, a new Company named AP Coatings Limited (100% subsidiary of the Company) was formed to carry on the Non-Auto Industrial business including Powder Coatings business of the Company. The second 50:50 JV, Asian Paints PPG Limited (APPL) was also established during the year with PPG. As a part of the arrangement, AP Coatings along with an Indian subsidiary of PPG would merge into APPG and thereafter, certain businesses from APPG would demerge into APPL.

 

The Composite Scheme for Merger and Demerger under Sections 391 – 394 of the Companies Act, 1956 and other applicable provisions was filed with the Hon’ble High Court of Judicature of Bombay and Hon’ble High Court of Judicature of Madras in September 2011 for the arrangement. During the year, PPG Industries, Inc., USA decided to restructure its operations in India prior to the proposed merger/demerger due to which the petitions filed in the Hon’ble High Court of Judicature of Bombay and Madras have been withdrawn. A revised Composite Scheme for Merger and Demerger encompassing all businesses of companies, as originally envisaged, has been filed with the Hon’ble High Court of Judicature of Bombay in February, 2012. The amalgamation process is currently in progress and the regulatory clearance for this new structure for Industrial operations is likely to be obtained by the second quarter of FY 2012-13.

 

As a part of the JV arrangement, Industrial paint Plant at Taloja and APICL’s two powder coating plants at Sarigam and Baddi will continue to be a part of the Company and APICL respectively and will not form a part of the new JV. The JV’s requirements will continue to be produced by these industrial plants under a tolling arrangement. APPG, the existing 50:50 JV in the area of automotive coatings, will now additionally cover marine coatings, consumer packaging coatings and other liquid industrial coatings segments. PPG will be responsible for day to day management of this JV.

 

AP COATINGS LIMITED:

 

As mentioned earlier, AP Coatings Limited (100% owned subsidiary of the Company) was formed to carry on the industrial business of the Company as well as the business of APICL till the formation of the new JV.

 

The major product segments handled by AP Coatings Limited includes:

 

·         Protective Coatings

·         General Industrial Coatings

·         Road Marking Coatings

·         Floor Coatings

·         Powder Coatings

 

Overall, the demand position in industrial coatings continued to be relatively weak. High borrowing costs and poor liquidity in the market also contributed to a slow down in the industrial projects business. The Company focused on the high-end Protective Coatings business, resulting in a substantial improvement in the product mix and weighted average selling prices. Raw Material prices increased significantly in the first half of the year, with the average overall inflation in material costs at around 20% for the financial year. The Powder Coatings and Road Marking Coatings businesses were significantly affected by the weakening rupee in the last two quarters, as a large proportion of the raw materials in these businesses are imported. Inflation coupled with relatively weak demand conditions, intense competition, and inability to pass on price increases, affected margins adversely.

 

The two Powder Coatings’ manufacturing facilities located at Sarigam in Gujarat and Baddi in Himachal Pradesh, and the Industrial Liquid Paints’ plant at Taloja in Maharashtra, operated satisfactorily in meeting market requirements. The year ahead looks challenging, with no respite expected in the increasing input costs. Both crude prices and the exchange rate will play a significant role in determining the input costs. However, since cost of credit is expected to come down in future, demand conditions are likely to improve.

 

OTHERS:

 

The Company’s two chemicals businesses, Phthalic Anhydride, manufactured at Ankleshwar, Gujarat, and Pentaerythritol, manufactured at Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, were set up as backward integration initiatives in the late

eighties, primarily to cater to the in-house demand for these chemicals.

 

During FY 2011-12, 60% of Phthalic Anhydride produced was transferred for internal consumption. The plant operations were stable and the plant achieved the highest ever production volumes during the year. Rising raw material costs pushed Phthalic Anhydride prices to high levels. Safe guard duty at the rate of 10% on imports from all countries was imposed from January 2012. Profits from the Phthalic Anhydride business were in line with expectations.

 

52% of the Pentaerythritol produced by the Company during FY 2011-12 was transferred for internal consumption. Prices of key raw materials moved up during the year, resulting in an increase in material costs.  Their Company was able to obtain price increases from customers, albeit, with a delay. Production at plant and profits from the business were in line with expectations.

 

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY:

 

There are four mega trends in the Information Technology (IT) world, shaping the way information is getting generated and consumed today. These trends are Mobility, Social, Cloud Computing and Consumerization of IT. During FY 2011-12, the Company has explored the impact of these trends and its relevance for the Company and deployed innovative applications around these mega-trends. A third generation cutting edge mobile application for the front line sales force of the Company was developed which will allow the territory officers to manage the dealer network efficiently by providing a 360 degree view of dealers. As this report goes to print, the application and associated devices are being rolled out pan India. Going forward the other customer facing roles of the Company are also planned to be mobile enabled.

 

The relevance of managing online reputation has gained immense significance in today’s world. The Company has already established its presence on popular social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. To enable structured management of the Company’s online reputation, a social sentiment analytics tool was proto-typed and developed during FY 2011-12 , which can ‘listen’ to opinions expressed by various consumers about the Company and channel it to the Customer Relationship Management Systems. The three year roadmap that was drawn in FY 2009-10 in the area of Information Management is well underway. The Business Intelligence initiative that was started in early April 2011 has largely achieved its objective of providing a warehouse of information which managers can use to gain valuable insights to manage key performance indicators at work. This is expected to improve the decision making capability of the managerial cadres significantly. With this framework the Company is poised to leverage the technology trends in the area of in-memory analytics to provide even further insights into market trends and consumer behavior.

 

To improve the overall resiliency of the IT systems, a three pronged approach has been adopted to improve information security of various enterprise systems to global standards, deploy tools for IT disaster recovery as well as tools that aid in overall IT operations, management and governance. The Company is also partnering with leading IT vendors to build innovative applications that exploit the nexus of mobility, cloud and consumerization of IT. These will be deployed to solve complex business problems in the coming years.

 

OUTLOOK:

 

In spite of all the inherent risks in the macro environment today, the outlook for FY 2012-13 is full of opportunities.

FY 2012-13 marks the beginning of the first year of the twelfth five year plan of the government of India, which aims at faster, sustainable and inclusive growth. One of the objectives identified for the same is focus on domestic demand driven growth recovery. Aided by a young demographic profile, India is regarded as one of the youngest economies in the world with considerable opportunities as a consumer market and manufacturing hub. The government has also recognized, as emphasized by the finance minister in his budget speech, that there is a need to accelerate the pace of reforms and improve supply side management of the economy. The GDP growth outlook at 7.6% for FY 2012-13 is significantly higher than the GDP growth registered in FY 2011-12, showing signs of optimism. The prospects and future of the Indian economy are bright and being an integral part of this economy the Company has always been committed to strong and sustained value creation. The Company continues to participate in accelerating economic growth and giving customers and stakeholders the benefits of the technology and the values which have been its driving force.
