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.

LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

The Company was formerly known as Chemicals and Plastics India (CPIL)), incorporated in 1962 was promoted as Urethanes India by Chemplast, the flagship of the Sanmar group, Tamilnadu. It became a fully-owned subsidiary of Chemplast in 1991 when the name was changed to the present one. 

 
The company set up a 2500 tpa thermoplastic polyurethane plant in Tamilnadu in technical collaboration with BF Goodrich Company, US. It manufactures caustic soda, chlorine, chlorinated solvents, PVC, refrigerant gases and industrial alcohol.  

 
In 1991-92, the capacity of PVC was enhanced to 48,000 tpa, making it the third largest manufacturer of PVC resin in the country. The company formed Peroxides India in collaboration with Atochem, US, for a wide variety of polymerisation initiators; and Drechem Speciality Chemicals, in technical collaboration with Dragoco, Germany, to manufacture aromatic chemicals.  

 
The PVC capacity is being enhanced from 48,000 tpa to 60,000 tpa and that of chloromethanes is being enhanced to 25,000 tpa. In 1995-96, Metkem Silicon, a subsidiary of the company manufacturing poly and mono crystalline silicon was merged with the holding company. During the same period, the thermoplastics polyuerthane division of the company was spun-off into a joint venture with Bayer, Germany. It also has entered into a joint venture with Cabot Corporation, US, for the manufacture of fumed silica as a springboard. 

 
The company is in advanced stage of discussing raw material tie-ups for its proposed shore-based PVC project. As a measure of conservation of power, the company is replacing shell and tube acid cooler and condensers with plate heat exchangers in the Chlor-alkali process. 

 
The company has taken on hand a backward integration captive project for setting up an oxychlorination with the capital outlay of over Rs 600 Millions. This will help the company to improve captive feedstock (EDC) capacity, leading to lower dependence on imported feedstock. 

 
During 2000-01, the company brought on stream an oxychlorination plant which would increase captive production of EDC and reduce dependence on imports and also significantly reduce the environmental impact of its operations. 

 
Subject to necessary approvals the company planned to amalgamate Sanmar Properties and Investments Limited (SPIL) excluding its Investment and Shipping business w.e.f. Nov 2, 2003. SPIL's Investment and Shipping division would be demerged to Sanmar Holdings Limited effective from Nov 1, 2003. SPIL sharehodlers get one equity share of Chemplast sanmar for every share in SPIL.

 

Operations  

 

The  company  is  going  through one of the most  difficult  times  in  its history.  The operations of the company for the year 2008-09 resulted in  a substantial loss of Rs.990.700 millions, contributed by factors arising out  of the  global economic crisis and the violent fluctuations in  petroleum  and petro-chemical   prices.  This  was  compounded  by  the   non-accrual   of anticipated revenues from the large projects the company has set up, due to delays  in their commissioning- These are discussed in more detail in  this report.

 

The sharp increase in crude oil and petro-chemical prices in the first half of  the  year, was followed by their sudden collapse  concurrent  with  the onset of the. Global financial crisis in August-September 2008. The price of

a barrel of crude oil dropped from a peak of around USD 145 on 1st July  08 to USD 70 on October, and subsequently to as low as USD 40 on 10th  January 09.  This resulted in a corresponding meltdown of prices of  petro-chemical intermediates  and  finished  products.  The stocks  of  raw  material  and intermediates that the company was holding at prices linked to the  earlier prevailing peak prices of crude oil, accounted for a substantial portion of the losses incurred during the year.

 

While  the  economic  situation continues to be grim,  the  expertise  that company's  management  has developed over forty years in  handling  highly' cyclical  commodity  businesses, and the focus on full  fledged  integrated operations, are helping the company face these challenges.

 

In  view of the losses incurred, the Directors do not recommend payment  of dividend on equity shares for the year 2008-09.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS:

 

The year under reference witnessed the company recording significant losses in  business  and  that  too, for the first time  in  almost  40  years  of operation.  As  explained  above,  the global  financial  meltdown  took  a particularly  heavy toll on commodity businesses, and the company  was  no exception.  The  management  is  continuing to  focus  on  integration  and capacity growth to ward off the effects of rough ride in the economy.  With this end in view, the company has'nearly completed two major projects - one to cut cost in power generation and the other - to add significant capacity in PVC business .through a greenfield expansion. These projects are waiting for the final nod of the iWgulator to commence operation.

 

PVC Business:

 

The company's integrated facility at Mettur Dam with a present capacity  to produce  64,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of PVC resins has recorded 42  years of  continuous  operation. The company is the only  domestic  manufacturer with  a  product  range of four different grades of  PVC  resin,  providing ability  to optimise product mix and maximise contribution. The  feedstock, Ethylene  Dichloride  (EDC) required for the manufacture of  PVC,  is  also produced captively.

 

Suspension Resin:

 

Suspension  resin demand in India for the yea. is  estimated at,  1.375 millions tonnes, clocking a modest growth of 0.8% over the  previous year. Of this, around 102 millions tonnes were met out of domestic  production with  the balance coming from imports. The slowdown in construction  sector had  a  negative impact-on consumption. With several  projects  planned  by various State Governments in the agriculture and irrigation sectors, it  is expected  that  the demand would rebound and register good  growth  in  the current year.

 

Paste Resin:

 

Consumption in India during the year 2008-09 is estimated at 62,000 tonnes, registering  a growth of 60%, over the previous year. Low priced import  of finished  leather cloth continues to affect this segment. In addition, the slowdown  in  automobile  and retail home segment also  led  to  suppressed demand. The company's paste resin continues to enjoy a  preference  with most buyers.

 

Battery Separator Resin (BSR):

 

BSR  market in the country continues to stagnate at 5,000 TPA. Prices  came under  pressure during the year on the back of cheap imports. Your  company decided to cut back on BSR production to maintain its premium prices in the market.

 

Copolymer Resin:

 

In view of very small volume involved, the company decided to suspend this business.

 

PVC Pipes (Trubore Piping System):

 

The demand for PVC Pipes remained healthy in the early part of the year  on the  back  of investments in irrigation and water schemes. The  rising  PVC prices  and  general economic slowdown resulted in  suppressed  demand  for Pipes  as  the year progressed. However, as agricultural  sector  has  been performing  well,  combined  with Government's focus  on  micro  irrigation schemes, the demand for pipes in irrigation segment contributed to a  smart recovery towards the end of the year.

 

The company's PVC Pipes manufactured at Trubore Piping Division have  been approved  by all southern State Governments for their water supply  schemes as  well as by the Government of West Bengal. The company's Pipes are  the first to be approved by the State Government agencies in Andhra Pradesh for sewer application.
 

During the year, production in the PVC pipes plant at Ponneri in Tamil Nadu got  affected due to 40% power cut announced by the Tamil Nadu  Electricity Board. In line with production requirements, the labour strength was right sized.  Following this, the contract labour proceeded on an illegal  strike in  February 2009, supported by the workmen and a section  of  supervisors. Pursuant  to this, production has been stopped completely  and discussions are under way to bring about a solution.

 
The  new greenfield PVC pipes plant in Shinoli, Maharashtra (near  Belgaum) with a capacity of 20,000 TPA went on stream in December 2008. This project had  been  delayed  by  about  4 months due  to  delay  in  getting,  power connection  in  Maharashtra. The company is attending to  various  teething troubles in the new plant and it is expected that production will stabilise shortly. The, plant has been certified by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for ISI marking for Pressure, Casing and SWR Pipes.
 
During 2008-09, new dealers have been,appointed(in all the southern states. 
The sales volume achieved during the year was 13,662 tonnes, an increase of 
12% over last year.,
 
Risksnd concerns:
 
(a)  The  thin spread of just 3% between import duty on PVC  (5%)  and  the intermediate EDC (2%) affects the contribution of the PVC business.
 
(b)  Fall  in  sugar crop production resulted in  reduced  availability  of molasses and alcohol. This, coupled with double-digit growth in consumption in potable sector, is putting severe pressure on margins' on alcohol  based 
EDC. This is an area of concern for your company.
 
(c)  The  high levels of fuel cost that prevailed during most part  of  the year has deeply impacted margins of the company.
 
Review of Operations:

 

The  PVC production during the year 2008-09 was 61,297 MT, an  increase  of 17%  over  previous  year's  production. The  company's  Marine  Terminal Facility  at  Karaikal  along with a facility to  manufacture  captive  raw material,  Ethylene Dichloride REDO, was principally responsible  for  this smart improvement in production.

 

In line with international trends, domestic Suspension- PVC prices improved dramatically  in the early part of the year on the back of strong  economic growth all across the globe. However, in the later half of the year, global

slowdown  started  affecting demand and, both  international  and  domestic suspension prices started to decline. Prices did recover to%ards the end of the  year,  thanks to the strong demand in irrigation sector in  India  and

increase in raw material prices in the international market. ,

 
Chlorochemicals Business:   
 

The  compam operates a highly integrated Chlorochemical business in  Mettur JDam  producing Caustic Soda, Chloromethane Products, Silicon  Wafers  'and Refrigerant   Gas  (HCFC).  Power  and  salt  required  for  caustic   soda manufacture  is  available from captive source. Chlorine  produced  in  the Chlor Alkali plant is completely consumed for captive production of EDC and Chloromethane products.

 
Caustic Chlor : 
 

During  the  year, Indian Caustic Soda industry  witnessed  an addition  of over 0.400 million tonnes of capacity. Mirroring the price  trend  in PVC  resin, the year witnessed strong rise in prices during the first  half of the year on the back of improved demand from most consuming sectors; the later  half, of the year saw prices continuously decline as the demand  was impacted  by  the  global  economic  slowdown.  Caustic Soda prices have maintained its south-ward journey in the current year and registered, steep drop.

 

While the  company  has adequate captive capacity for  meeting  its  salt requirement,  unseasonal  rains during several months  along  with  cyclone Nisha that hit Tamil Nadu coast in November 2008, impacted salt  production

adversely and forced the company into buying salt from Gujarat, a  costlier option.  This affected the company's operation during the year to the  tune of almost Rs.170.000 millions.

 

Solvents:

 

With  the  major demand for Chloromethane products being  from  the  pharma sector,  and  with this sector not being adversely impacted by  the  global economic slowdown, demand for Chloromethane products witnessed a 5%  growth against  a  normal  growth  of around  6%.  However,  low  priced  imported Chloromethane products towards the later half of the year resulted in steep fall in prices.   

 
The  fall  in end product prices in Chloromethanes was  mitigated  to  some extent by the fall in methanol prices as the year progressed. 
 

The  company ceased production of Trich.loroethylene and Ethyl Silicate  as margins  were turning out to be unviable. This afforded an opportunity  for the company to divert chlorine for better value addition in manufacture  of EDC.

 
In line with the Montreal Protocol, the company regulated the production of CTC for non-feedstock applications and towards this the company received  a compensation of Rs.37.900 millions during the year.
 
Mettron:
 

CFC  production was scheduled for phase out by December 2009 in  line  with the schedule mandated by Montreal Protocol. India agreed for an accelerated phase  out  of  CFCs  by  31st  July  2008. The company  also  therefore discontinued the production of CFCs by this date.

 
The company  received  a  compensation of Rs.12.300 millions  in  line  with compensation agreed for phase out as per original schedule.
 

HCFC production was at 1612. MT. The company also earns Certified Emission Reduction (Carbon Credits) from its Clean Development Mechanism project.

 
Metkem:
 
The  company  restarted  manufacture  of  polysilicon  after  updating  its manufacturing  facility during the year.  This  would  insulate the   company  from  the  vagaries  of  polysilicon  availability  in   the international market.
 
Risks and concerns:
 

(a)  As Chlor Alkali operations are energy intensive, high levels  of  fuel prices impact the company's margin sharply. The company's tie up with a Gas based power-generating entity for 22 MW of power at lower rates has limited this  impact  to some extent. In addition, a project to convert  fuel  from LSHS  to imported coal for generating 48.5 MW of power at Mettur Dam is  in an advanced stage of implementation.

 
(b)  Sale volume of CTC will shrink as the deadline 2010 set for phase out under the Montreal Protocol nears.
 
(c) Unseasonal rainfall affects your company's salt production.
 
PROJECTS:
 
Fuel Conversion Project at Mettur Dam:
 

To circumvent the impact of increasing liquid fuel prices resulting in high cost  of  power  generation, the company has taken  on-hand  a  project  to convert   48.5   MW  LSHS.  based  cogeneration  facility   to   coal-based cogeneration  of  the same capacity. The project is in its final  stage  of  completion.  On completion, the project would contribute  significantly  to reduce the power and steam cost as compared to LSHS.

 

In  May  2006,  Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board  (TNPCB),had  given  the necessary  approval  to the Company for the above conversion of  fuel  from LSHS  to coal based co-generation facility of 48.5 MW. However, in  January 2008,  TNPCB'4assed  orders  revoking the consent  given  by  them  earlier alleging  contravention of conditions imposed while granting  the  consent. The  company's  appeal  against the order of TNPCB  was  dismissed  by  the Appellate Authority -Tamil Nadu Pollution Control in May 2008. Against this order of the Appellate authority, the company filed a writ petition in  the Honourable Madras High Court. In September 2008, the Honourable Madras High Court  had  allowed  the writ petition of the company and  set  aside  the, orders  of  the  TNPCB  and the Appellate authority.  The  High  Court  has remitted the matter back to TNPCB to pass appropriate orders on merits  and the same is pending.

 
Greenfield PVC Project at Cuddalore:
 

The  company  has canpleted setting up of the state of art  greenfieid  PVC plant  at Cuddaiore including a captive Marine Terminal Facility  (MTF)  to enable  import of Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM), the feedstock  required  to manufacture PVC. The issues encountered in laying the pipeline to carry VCM from  the  MTF  to  the plant were  resolved  pursuant  to  the  directions contained in the Government order issued in October 2008 by the  Government of  Tamil  Nadu  on  the basis of the  findings  of  high  level  committee appointed by the Government. This, of course, resulted in a delay of around six  months  in  completion of the project. The company  could  obtain  the 'Consent  to  Operate' order for the MTF from the TNPCB and  the  issue  of 'Consent to Operate' order for the PVC plant is under consideration by  the said  authority.  The manufacturing operations would  commence  immediately after  receipt  of  the said consent The company has also tied  up  with  a couple of manufacturers for supply of VCM.for its operations.

 

The  delay  in  commissioning  of  the  above  two  projects  involving  an investment of around Rs.8000.000 milllions has put enormous financial burden on the company.  The fact that the company could not commission these projects  in time despite receiving all initial approvals and consents is agonising.

 
Environment:
 

The  Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) facility set up at a cost of Rs.260.000 millions at  Mettur  Dam is functioning satisfactorily. Similar  facility  has  been installed  at  the Greenfield PVC project at Cuddalore.  Besides,  the  PVC plant at Cuddalore will operate by desalinating the sea water and no ground water will be used at the location.

 
The company  has  taken  further  concrete  steps  in  the  direction  of sustainability.

AS PER WEB DETAILS

 

The Sanmar Group, with its corporate headquarters at Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu state in south India, has set the benchmark for global partnerships—in chlorochemicals, Speciality chemicals, and engineering.

 

These businesses are grouped and managed in industry segment FINANCE: 

 

The company has established a good track record with the bankers and financial institutions, thereby enjoying their confidence fully. The increase in interest cost in recent period is a matter of concern, however with good standing of the company with the lenders, the company is confident of securing loans at optimum costs. 

 
With a view to enhance liquidity of company's shares on the stock exchanges and facilitate easier accessibility to the company's equity shares by small investors, during the year, the company carried out a stock split by sub-dividing each equity share of Rs.10 of the company into 10 equity shares of Re. each. 

as follows:

  

·         PVC/ Chlorochemicals

·         Speciality Chemicals

·         Shipping

·         Engineering

 

 

In addition to significant or majority holdings in all these businesses, the group has also made major investments in life insurance and cement manufacture.

 

Professionally managed

 

In the course of its well planned professionalisation initiatives over the years, the group has successfully separated ownership and management by establishing a broad-based, empowered Group Corporate Board comprising eminent persons from varied backgrounds. The GCB oversees all Sanmar businesses, but is involved only on a strategic level, with the management of the businesses fully delegated to professional managing directors and run by over 600 highly qualified managers.

 

Group Strengths

 

The Sanmar Group has over three decades of experience in running and managing a large industrial organisation with multiple businesses. It is renowned for its exceptional management skills covering diverse and complex businesses, strong and conservative financial practices, and its ability to source, assimilate and apply complex technologies in different fields.

 

Some of the group’s major strengths are: Its leading edge HR practices and reputation as a preferred employer; its high level of IT integration, with SAP ERP in place in all the businesses; and its successful relations with the government, based on professional merit and integrity.

 

A history of consistent profit making

 

The group entered into its first international joint venture back in the 1960s when it started Chemicals and Plastics India Limited to manufacture PVC resins in joint venture with B F Goodrich of the USA.

 

Today, it has a turnover of around Rs.10 billion and a presence in some 25 businesses, with 25 manufacturing units spread over 10 locations in India.

 

Characterised by strong and conservative financial practices, it has a track record of steady growth and consistent profitmaking over the last three decades, enjoying an excellent reputation in the financial markets. The group is known for its high ethical standards and healthy respect for intellectual property rights.

 

At the company, the flagship company of the Sanmar Group, integration - forward and backward - is the key.

The company has two main businesses – PVC and Chlorochemicals. The basic feedstock for its PVC plant, ethylene and chlorine, come from its industrial alcohol plant at Panruti and its own chloralkali facilities.

 

The Chlorochemicals Division of Chemplast, itself the result of backward integration by the group, manufactures a wide range of products using a highly integrated manufacturing process. These downstream products are either chlorine derivatives or chlorine users in the production process. The feedstock for the refrigerant gases is supplied by the solvents division.

 

The salt needed for chlorine manufacture is supplied by Chemplast's own salt fields at Vedaranyam. The process being capital intensive, Chemplast is fully equipped to generate sufficient captive power to meet its entire requirements, thus making it one of the most integrated chemical plants in the country with a closed manufacturing loop.

 

Between the two main businesses, Chemplast's product range falls into five distinct groups — PVC Resins, Caustic Soda/ Chlorine, Chlorinated Solvents, Refrigerant Gases and Silicon Wafers.

 

The manufacturing facilities are located at Mettur in Tamil Nadu and Karaikal in Pondichery.

These businesses are grouped and managed in industry segments as follows: 

·         PVC/ Chlorochemical

·         Speciality Chemical

·         Shipping

·         Engineering

 

 

In addition, the group has also made major investments in cement manufacture.

Ownership and management have been separated through a series of top level initiatives, including the formation of a broadbased, empowered Group Corporate Board, which oversees all businesses, including strategies and policies. The businesses are managed by professional managing directors, with highly qualified managers working under them.

 

Group Strengths

 

The Sanmar Group has over three decades of experience in running and managing a large industrial organisation with multiple businesses.

 

The group’s innate strengths include:

 

·         An ability to source, assimilate and apply complex technologies in different fields.

·         Leading edge HR practices and a reputation as a preferred employer

·         A high level of IT integration with an SAP ERP platform across businesses

·         A global outlook highlighted by successful JVs with world leaders, and a high level of cross border trade

 

Blazing a trail

 

The group entered into its first international joint venture back in the 1960s when it started Chemicals and Plastics India Limited to manufacture PVC resins in joint venture with B F Goodrich of the USA.

 

Today, it has a turnover of over Rs.13 billion and a presence in some 25 businesses, with manufacturing units spread over numerous locations in India.

 

Characterised by strong and conservative financial practices, it has a track record of steady growth and consistent profitmaking over the last three decades, enjoying an excellent reputation in the financial markets. The group is known for its high ethical standards and healthy respect for intellectual property rights.

 

Where integration is the key

 

At the company, the flagship company of the Sanmar Group, integration - forward and backward - is the key.

 

The company has two main businesses – PVC and Chlorochemicals. The synthesis that underlies the polymer chemistry of PVC manufacture is also reflective of the company’s approach to business. The basic feedstock for its PVC plant, ethylene and chlorine, come from its industrial alcohol plant at Panruti and its own chloralkali facilities at Mettur and Karaikal.

              

The Chlorochemicals Division of Chemplast, itself the result of backward integration by the group, manufactures a wide range of products using a highly integrated manufacturing process. These downstream products are either chlorine derivatives or chlorine users in the production process.

 

The salt needed for chlorine manufacture is supplied by Chemplast’s own salt fields at Vedaranyam.

 

The electrolysis process of manufacturing chlorine, is power-intensive, but Chemplast is fully equipped to generate sufficient captive power to meet its entire requirements.

 

All this makes subject one of the most integrated chemical plants in the country with a closed manufacturing loop.

 

Between the two main businesses, the companies product range falls into five distinct groups — PVC Resins, Caustic Soda/ Chlorine, Chlorinated Solvents, Refrigerant Gases and Silicon Wafers.

 

The manufacturing facilities are located at Mettur and Panruti in Tamil Nadu and Karaikal in Pondichery.
