PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

 

STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

During the Year:

During the year, Indian economy witnessed various issues such as slower growth, high inflation, uncertain political environment and strong forex volatility. Inspite of such adverse external environment an aggregate income of Rs.22909.900 millions was generated which was merely 9% lower than that of previous financial year when the economy did not suffer from all such adverse factors in one single year.

 

The Profit before depreciation and finance cost stood at Rs.4326.000 millions as against Rs.4132.900 millions in previous year thereby registering a growth of 4.7 %. However, the Net Profit before and after Tax stood at Rs.696.600 millions and Rs.541.600 millions during the year respectively against Rs.1046.600 millions and Rs.756.600 millions in the previous year.

 

For the Year:

a) Due to decline in Profit before Tax during the year, the amount of Rs.54.200 millions proposed to be transferred to the General Reserve Account is lesser than that transferred in the previous year.

 

b) Due to similar reason as stated above, the credit balance of Profit and Loss Account proposed to be carried to Balance Sheet is Rs.183.900 millions, which is lesser than that of previous year balance.

 

c) In addition to an Interim Dividend of Rs.2.00 per share paid by the Company, the board has also recommended payment of Rs.2.00 per share as final dividend, thereby aggregating to a total dividend of Rs.4/- per share for the financial year 2011-12.

 

 

IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS

 

Members are aware that amongst various pipe manufacturers in the country, the Company is the only one which has attached adequate importance to establish its pipe manufacturing facilities at various strategic locations of the country. Such decision taken in the past has indeed proved fruitful since a manufacturing capacity in the vicinity of the major pipeline projects as and when they arise, definitely helps in substantially saving on account of transportation cost thereby directly reducing the overall project cost, hence this factor gets more weightage in the minds of prospective customers. This benefits not only the Company, but also facilitates timely execution of major pipeline projects by reducing logistic difficulties and complexities in turn pleasing the owner companies.

 

 

PRESTIGIOUS ORDER FROM INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED

 

As stated above the strategic locational advantage of the Company's Jaipur Pipe Mill directly benefited the Company when Indian Oil Corporation Limited recently awarded a very prestigious order for "DE-BOTTLENECKING OF SALAYAMATHURA PIPELINE". This order to the Company further proves, Company's planned development across the country as it demonstrate that proximity of pipe manufacturing to required delivery point is a key advantage both financially and in terms of logistic in the pipe supply business.

 

Having secured this prestigious order, the Company, in the shortest possible time, enhanced the production capacity at its Jaipur Pipe Mill from the previous levels of 150,000 MT per annum to 300,000 MT per annum, effectively doubling the capacity.

 

In addition, specialized coating facilities for Oil and Gas Pipelines were also installed and the whole unit obtained the requisite approval from Indian Oil Corporation Limited and other agencies to supply a portion of SALAYA-MATHURA PIPELINE order.

 

 

NEW FACILITY FOR THREE LAYER COATING ON LARGE DIAMETER PIPES

 

Continuing to set a pioneering pace, the Company, having secured large supply orders for water pipeline in the state of Gujarat, became the first manufacturer in India and amongst a handful worldwide, to undertake specialized three Layer Polyethylene Coating application on steel pipes having diameter upto 100".

 

The specialized facility was deployed and commissioned in a record time to meet client's requirement for the Gujarat Water and Irrigation Board, which had laid down this challenging specification which the Company was the first to respond to and achieve success in.

 

 

PERFORMANCE OF SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

 

ON DOMESTIC FRONT

 

PSL CORROSION CONTROL SERVICES LIMITED - an Indian Company

PSL Corrosion Control Services Limited Operates through its various divisions such as Rebar Coating Division, Corrugated Steel Plate Bridge Division, Steel Structure Division etc.

 

The corrosion resistance FBE coated bars provided by the Company meets all international standards on the subject thereby directly contributing in country's efforts in developing its infrastructure sector. During the year, the Company could bag prestigious orders for providing FBE Coating to the Steel Bars for usage in various infrastructure projects of reputed Companies like ONGC, L&T, Navy, Tata Projects Limited, CIDCO etc.

 

The division of manufacturing steel plate bridges has commenced its operations in India very recently. The division completed the FIRST ever Corrugated Steel Plate Bridge in India at Jawahar, by Govt. of Maharashtra. The project was successfully completed with the help of their collaboration with Fixon, Korea in 21 days.

 

Another division of the Company namely Steel Structure Division was fortunate enough to bag an order from

Reliance Group for constructing a Reliance Retail Mall at Ring Road in Rajkot, Gujarat. This division by using circular steel columns could complete this first steel structure mall in a record time of four months.

 

PSL Corrosion Control Services Limited is confident that with state of the art technologies that it uses in all its aforesaid three divisions, it will be in a position to bag more prestigious order for each of these three divisions in the Current Financial Year.

 

 

ON INTERNATIONAL FRONT

 

PSL FZE - a UAE based company

The Company's subsidiary PSL FZE, in a systematic and time bound manner, doubled its pipe manufacturing capacity during the course of the year, taking it from 75,000 MT per annum to 150,000 MT per annum.

 

The project was successfully commissioned and the additional capacity has been deployed in serving the customer's pipe requirement in neighbouring Saudi Arabia.

 

 

PSL NORTH AMERICA LLC - a US based company

The Company's subsidiary in the U.S. "M/s PSL North America LLC" enhanced its pipe manufacturing capacity by adding a specialized module of 75,000 MT per annum capacity enabling the facility to produce pipes for structural application, as well as extra large diameter pipe for upto 110" diameter as opposed to its earlier limitation of 60" diameter maximum.

 

This important development will enable the subsidiary to serve the needs of the rapidly increasing water pipeline sector in the region.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

During 2011-12 Indian Economy found itself in the midst of conflicting demands namely managing the growth at the minimum desired level on one hand and keeping strict check on prices so as to contain the inflationary pressures.

 

As per the economic survey presented in the parliament, the Indian economy was estimated to grow by 6.9% in 2011-12, after having grown at the rate of 8.4% in each of the two preceding years. At the same time, as compared to many other economies of the world, India remains among the front-runners. Also, it is expected that their economy would rise up to 7.6% in 2012-13 and 8.6% in 2013-14. With Agriculture and Service Sector continuing to perform well, India's slowdown can be attributed almost entirely to weakening Industrial growth. The Service sector contributed 59% in GDP in 2011-12 as compared to 58% in 2010-11 with a growth rate of 9.4%. Inflation as measured by Wholesale price Index (WPI) was high during most of the year, though by the year's end there was clear slow down. Food inflation came down significantly with most of the remaining WPI inflation being driver by non-food manufacturing products. Reserve Bank of India also tightened the monetary policy to control inflation and inflationary expectations. The growth rate of investment registered significant decline and witnessed a sharp increase in Interest rates that resulted into higher cost of borrowing and other cost that affected profitability.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Overall growth of the pipeline industry would positively be affected by the growth in domestic and emerging market, largely driven by economic growth and increased government spending on pipeline projects. With the growing population and emerging economic spending power of Asian countries, energy needs are increasingly on rise. Based on the various surveys, in India around 200 new cities have been identified for implementation of City Gas Distribution network by 2015. On an average there is a need for laying 30-40 kms. of pipelines per city.

 

On the global front, the growth in the oil and gas pipelines expenditure will be fuelled by the emerging countries of China, Brazil and Venezuela as well as some mature markets such as Canada and Russia. The overall spending on the oil and gas pipeline systems will depend on the future oil price developments, the level of natural gas demand and the expansion of unconventional oil and gas activity. Connecting unconventional and offshore oil and gas to consumption centers would also help to drive the market. Economic growth in the Asia - Pacific has led to surge in demand for natural gas, crude oil and petroleum products. Countries in South Asia and South East Asia is dependent on oil and gas imports from Central Asia and the Middle East. Company's subsidiary PSL FZE has established itself well in the middle east. Another subsidiary setup in North America namely PSL North America LLC also bagged an order for Shale Gas Transmission from US based pipeline operators.

 

The outlook on the domestic front is also encouraging as apart from valuable orders received by the Company from some major players such as IOCL's Debottlenecking of Salaya- Mathura Pipeline Project, many more pipeline projects have been bid by the company and it is hoped that based on the past performances, their company would be successful in its bids.

 

Another most significant development in the Indian market impacting pipe manufacturers was the removal of some of the critical bottlenecks which have prevented, over the last 3 years, the construction of the National Gas Grid planned for implementation from 2008 onwards.

 

 

Gas Grid

 

Consisting of approximately 10 major cross country pipelines, this grid was to have been completed by 2013. However, only 2 of the 10 major segments could actually come forward for implementation, while the remaining 8 segments were kept in abeyance due to diverse reasons including:

 

i. Jurisdictional disputes between Public Sector Undertaking charged with implementing 6 of the remaining 8 segments, and

 

ii. The drastic drop and reduction in national gas output from the KG Basin which impacted the implementation of the balance 2 segments.

 

Due to policy resolution and judicial decisions which took place in the intervening 2 years 2010 - 2011, many of the reasons causing these delays were set aside, or resolved, enabling most of the remaining segments to come up for implementation with pressure on the implementing entities to expedite the projects and compensate for some of the lost time.

 

Based on the above, it is expected that 2013, 2014 and 2015 will see a surge in gas pipeline construction in the country, resulting in substantially improved capacity utilization among the pipeline manufacturing industry units.

 

Another significant factor aiding the above development is the conception of a policy to encourage import of LNG, in particular, on the east coast, to compensate or set off the reduction in gas production from KG Basin, and this policy when implemented will further enhance pipeline construction, in addition to the gas grid, to facilitate off take of this imported LNG.

 

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATONAL PERFORMANCE

 

The board has decentralized most of the operational powers to different operational levels at widely spread network of Company's plants so as to reduce the occurrence of inefficient operational performance due to lack of decision making powers. Delegation of powers at Senior and Middle management has been resorted to avoid such occurrences. However, important areas like funds requirements at different units and mode for raising such funds are done in a centralized manner.

 

Apart from routine up gradation of the production facilities at various plants set up by the company, planning for setting up of new projects at various strategic location is done at the Headquarters with the help of suitable inputs from experienced unit heads and management.

PSL SECURES ORDER FROM INDIAN OIL WORTH RS.5700.000 MILLIONS FOR SALAYA-MATHURA PIPELINE DEBOTTLENECKING PROJECT

 

PSL - Wednesday, April 11, 2012

 

Company Completes the supply of pipes for Kochi-Kottanad-Bangalore-Mangalore Gas Pipeline (KKBMPL) Project of GAIL India  PSL Limited, a global leader in manufacturing and coating of pipes for transporting hydrocarbon products, water products, and steel structural applications, and the largest manufacturer of high-grade large diameter Helical Submerged Arc Welded (HSAW) pipes in India, today announced that it has bagged an order from Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOC) cumulating to approximately Rs. 5700.000 Millions for the manufacture of pipes and provision of ancillary coating services towards the Salaya-Mathura Pipeline (SMPL) Project.

 

The company is to supply 28-inch diameter coated steel pipes for IOCs 821 km. oil pipeline de-bottlenecking project. Production for this order is expected to commence almost immediately, with pipe for this particular project being of X-70 Grade and up to 40 feet in length. PSL’s state-of-the-art pipe mills located at Jaipur and Kandla shall be pressed into service to meet the aforementioned supply requirements - these facilities are fully geared to meet the challenge and complete supply within the current financial year.

 

It would also be interesting to note that very recently PSL successfully completed the pipe supply requirements for another large oil and gas major, GAIL, adhering to the most stringent quality specifications. The total order value was Rs. 7530.000 Millions, and the total length of pipe supplied was an estimated 735 km., of which 437 km. comprised API X-80 Grade Pipes and the remaining 298 km. comprised API X-70 Grade Pipe. This was the third major gas pipeline being implemented by GAIL utilizing high-grade X-80 pipe, making GAIL, and India, operators of the second largest X-80 pipeline network globally. Both PSL’s Chennai and Vizag pipe mills, which were in close proximity to the pipeline’s right-of-way (ROW), enabled PSL to offer not just competitive prices but timely delivery as well.

 

Mr. Ashok Punj, MD, PSL Limited stated “PSL has steadily built its strong supply-chain capabilities over many years, and therefore looks forward to ever-enhancing participation in the development of the nation’s energy grid and oil and gas network. These orders reinstate the trust of our clients in PSL Limited and further strengthen our foothold in the Indian market. We are positive that our technical expertise and the proximity of our various mills to these projects will deliver high quality products and services to our customers in a prompt manner.”

 

Following the receipt of these projects, the standalone order book of PSL Limited stands at approximately Rs.30500.000 Millions, while the consolidated order book is approximately Rs.36100.000 Millions, with various high-value bids still outstanding and currently awaiting award.

 

PSL BAGS ADDITIONAL ORDERS WORTH RS.7420.000 MILLIONS FOR VARIOUS INTERNATIONAL/DOMESTIC PROJECTS - COMPANY AND ITS FOREIGN SUBSIDIARY SECURE NEW PROJECTS WITHIN THE OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS, WATER, AND PETROLEUM STORAGE SEGMENTS

 

PSL - Tuesday, February 14, 2012

 

PSL Limited, a global leader in manufacturing and coating of pipes for transporting hydrocarbon products, water products, and steel structural applications, and the largest manufacturer of high-grade large diameter Helical Submerged Arc Welded (HSAW) pipes in India, today announced that both the company and its Middle Eastern subsidiary PSL FZE, based in Sharjah, UAE, have bagged orders cumulating over Rs. 7420.000 Millions for the manufacture of pipes and the provision of ancillary coating services. The orders are with leading international and domestic infrastructure majors such as M/s. Leighton Offshore, M/s. Larsen and Toubro, M/s. Nagarjuna Construction Company, M/s. Pratibha Industries, and assorted other customers, and have all been secured in Q4 FY2011/12 till date.

 

The foreign order component comprises the award of an offshore pipe coating project by Leighton Offshore, Malaysia, for an SPM Pipeline Project in Iraq. The scope of work includes coating approximately 66 kms. of 48-inch diameter bare line pipes, and the contract has been awarded to PSL FZE despite stiff competition from well-established pipe coating companies based in the Middle East. PSL had earlier worked successfully as a subcontractor for Leighton India on its SPM pipeline projects in both Vishakhapatnam and Kandla, and this had been an important factor for favourable award of works in favour of PSL FZE.

 

Mr. Ashok Punj, MD, PSL Limited stated “With oil prices at current levels, Iraq and other Arabian Gulf Nations are looking forward to ramping up their infrastructure capabilities to boost export capacities. Thus, the market for supply of pipe and attendant coating services is quite positive, and PSL FZE is accordingly geared with vendor approvals from major clients like Abu Dhabhi Marine Operating Company and Qatar Petroleum to serve this requirement.”

 

PSL also announced that the company has secured orders from large domestic companies L&T, NCC, and Pratibha for water pipeline projects being implemented in the states of Gujarat and Tamilnadu. The company’s Kandla and Chennai pipe mills, respectively, shall be pressed to meet these pipe supply requirements.

 

Mr. Punj added “These customers have placed firm orders on PSL mills in order to both optimize their logistic and procurement costs, and ensure timely completion of their water pipelines in accordance with project schedules. The pipes manufactured by PSL at its various locations across the country hence offer the best solution to these repeat customers on a regular basis.”

 

Following the receipt of these projects, the standalone order book of PSL Limited stands at approximately Rs.29000.000 Millions, while the consolidated order book is approximately Rs.35000.000 Millions, with various high-value bids still outstanding and currently awaiting award.
