INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

US investment bank Goldman Sachs  has upgraded its outlook on Indian markets as it expects positive impact of the election cycle.

 

India’s economy may grow 4.7 % in the current financial year, lower than the official estimate of 4.9 %, Fitch Rating said. The global rating agency expects the economy to pick up in the next two financial years.

 

Global ratings agency Standard & Poor said increasing focus by India Inc on lowering debt is likely to improve their credit profiles.

 

Singapore (1.1 million Indian tourists in 2012), Thailand (one million), the United Arab Emirates ().98 million) and Malaysia ().82 million) emerged as the preferred holidays hotspots for Indians. The total figure is expected to increase to 1.93 million by 2017, according to the latest Eurmonitor international report.

 

There is a $29.34 bn outward foreign direct investment by domestic companies between April and January of 2013/14 which has seen some signs of recovery according to a Care Ratings report.

 

There are 264 number of new companies being set up every day on average during 2014. Most of them are registered in Mumbai. India had 1.38 million registered companies at the end of January, 2014.

 

Twitter like messaging service Weibo Corporation has filed to raise $ 500 million via a US initial public offering. Alibaba, which owns a stake in Weibo is expected to raise about $ 15 billion New York this year in the highest profile Internet IPO since Facebook’s in 2012.

 

Bharti Airtel has raised Rs.2,453.2 crore (350 million Swiss Francs) by selling six-year bonds at a coupon rate of three per cent and maturing in 2020. This is the largest ever bond offering by an Indian company in Swiss Francs. Bharat Petroleum Corporation raised 175 million Swiss Francs by selling five year bonds at 2.98 % coupon rate in February.

 

Indian Oil Corporation plans to invest Rs 7650 crore in setting up a petrochemical complex at its almost complete Paradip refinery in Odhisha in three to four years.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

During the year the turnover of the company has increased marginally from Rs. 4301.500 Millions to Rs. 4534.600 Millions recording a 5.42% growth over the previous year. The Profit Before Interest and Depreciation (PBID) of Rs. 367.800 Millions and Profit Before Tax (PBT) of Rs. 229.400 Millions during the year have grown by 19.00% and 23.33% respectively over the previous year. The performance of the company during the first half of the financial year was significantly better than that of the corresponding period in the previous year. However, during the second half of the financial year the Company experienced unfavourable conditions due to decline in prices, slump in market conditions and severe competition. As a result, the production, sales and operations were adversely affected and consequently the overall outcome for the financial year 2012-13 was only marginally better than the previous year.

 

The income for the year also includes Rs.21.352 Millions received from AP Transco for the power supplied in earlier years towards rate difference. An increase in revenue by Rs. 7.775 Millions was achieved from wind mills due to improved wind velocity over the previous year.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Fatty Acids and Soap

 

The company commissioned new equipment under expansion cum modernization programme implementing latest technology and increasing plant capacities. However, the production figures for the year under consideration could not be improved over the previous year due to unfavourable market conditions. Yet, the investment in new upgraded plant and machinery helped the company to sustain the bottom lines through reduced processing costs and improved efficiency.

 

The recession in European markets in recent times has adversely affected the business prospects of some of their major customers and as a result their offtake has come down. Stearic Acid and Soap Noodles markets were also disturbed by new entrants offering their products at low rates to get an entry into the market but these prices may not prevail for long and are expected to settle at a reasonable level. The overall market conditions are expected to improve soon from the slow down since October, 2012.

 

 

Biomass Power Plant

 

The extremely bleak power scenario at present had never been experienced in the past. Yet, they were able to carry out their operations normally only because of Biomass Cogeneration Captive Power Plant. The industry is not allowed to draw extra power even at additional cost since 7th November 2012 after the introduction of Revised Restriction and Control (R&C) measures by Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC). The company obtained No Objection Certificate (NOC) for purchase of power under Open Access from third parties as and when required to meet the exigencies. The capacity utilization of Biomass Power Plant has improved considerably during the year to 60% over the previous year at 47%, due to the extra efforts put in to procure biomass fuels. Since the continuous running of power plant is very essential, biomass fuels are being purchased at a higher cost.

 

During the year the company has received Rs.21.352 Millions from Andhra Pradesh Power Coordination Committee towards differential tariff amount for the power exported during the period 1st April 2004 to 31st March 2011as per the interim orders of the Hon’ble Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (ATE) dt. 1-2-2012. The ATE passed final orders dt.20-12-2012 giving directions to APERC to finalise the tariff which is yet to be complied with.

 

 

Wind Energy Generators (WEGs)

 

Power generation from the four wind energy generators (WEGs) of the Company aggregating to 6.3 Mw capacity has improved during the current year to 164.18 lakh units as against the previous year at 136.77 lakh units because of improved wind velocity. In the last two years power generation from the wind mills was much lower than expected due to prolonged winter season and low wind velocity.

 

Wind energy is a boon to the power starved Tamil Nadu State Government. Yet, the Tamil Nadu Electricity Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO) has been delaying payments for power supplied to it for more than a year. As on 31st March, 2013, Rs.45.033 Millionsis due for payment by TANGEDCO. Indian Wind Power Association in which the Company is a Member, took up the issue and the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (ATE) directed TANGEDCO to pay interest at 12% per annum on delayed payments. Inspite of these Orders TANGEDCO pays neither the interest nor the principal in time which is causing problems to the industry.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

The Company is engaged in the manufacture of Stearic Acid, Fatty Acids, Refined Glycerine, Soap Noodles, Toilet Soap and Industrial Oxygen and in the generation of Power from biomass and wind. Non-edible oils and fatty acid distillates, both indigenous and imported, are used as raw materials for manufacturing the finished products. The products manufactured are marketed directly from the factory as well as through Depots and C&F Agents located in major cities across the country. The Company also undertakes to manufacture Soap Noodles and Toilet Soap on jobwork for reputed customers.

 

The Company is having Biomass Cogeneration Captive Power Plant and the surplus power is sold to AP Transco. It is also having four Wind Energy Generators (WEG) set up in Tamil Nadu and the power generated from these plants is sold to Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Ltd. (TANGEDCO).

 

Majority of the Fatty Acids produced in the industry are consumed as raw material in Soap industry for making Toilet Soap. Hence performance of toilet soap industry will also have its impact on the demand for fatty acids. Stearic Acid is a chemical used in rubber, plastic, metal polish and number of other industries and any changes in demand by the major user industries may lead to fluctuations in demand. Glycerine and Industrial Oxygen are by-products.

 

The country is short of both edible and non-edible oils. Therefore the fatty acid industry is heavily dependent on imports of palm based products from Malaysia and Indonesia. As a result, the supply and demand position in the international market for vegetable oils influence the indigenous market. Further, fluctuation in crude oil prices also have impact on edible and non edible oils due to their usage in production of biofuels.

 

The fuels intended for running the plant are Rice Husk, field residues like Cotton Stalk, Chili Stalk etc., available in the surrounding areas. Their availability is not only limited but also seasonal. Shortage of labour, farm works during the season, high labour cost, influence their procurement. Transportation and storage of field residues is also a problem because of their large volume. In order to ease the tedious process of receipt and storage of huge volumes of Cotton Stalk in its raw state, it is planned to mechanise the entire process of receipt and storage of Biomass by baling which is expected to reduce its volume to less than a quarter. This will also reduce the risk of fire accidents considerably. During the year the Company was able to procure a good quantity of Cotton Stalk and Rice Husk to meet part of the fuel requirements, albeit at a higher price. The capacity utilization of the power plant during the year is also better than earlier year due to improved procurement of fuels.

 

Steam and power requirements of Process Plants are met from the 6 Mw Biomass Cogeneration Captive Power Plant located within the premises. Without the captive power plant it would have been impossible to run the plants from the power supply of the State Utilities due to the Revised Restriction and Control (R&C) measures presently imposed by the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulation Commission (APERC) with effect from 07-11-2012 in order to meet the power shortage in the State.

 

Continuous development efforts are being made to absorb the latest technologies and practices. Quality Management Systems (QMS) Standard ISO 9001:2008 obtained from a renowned certification agency, Det Norske Veritas (DNV) is being followed by the Company.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The toilet soap industry is expected to recover from the slowdown since 2011-12. The technical upgradation and increase in plant capacities of fatty acid, soap and glycerine plants under expansion cum modernization programme are expected to help to improve the operations of the Company once the market conditions in fatty acid industry improve. The Company will have to face challenges from new entrants into the industry which may affect its profitability.

 

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE:

 

During the year the Profit Before Tax has shown a growth of 24.32% over the previous year inspite of the increase in turnover being only about 5%. This is largely due to receipt of Rs. 21.312 Millions towards increase in power tariff for the power sold from the Biomass Power Plant in earlier years and also due to increase in revenue by Rs. 7.775 Millions due to improvement in generation of power by wind mills.
