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.

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.

OVERVIEW

The Company set up an automated Resin Plant at Vishakhapatnam, with a capacity of 3,000 MT per annum of Phenol Formaldehyde resins.

 

During the year, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Kanoria Africa Textiles Plc. was incorporated in Ethiopia, Africa. A manufacturing plant is being set up there to manufacture 12 million metres of Denim per annum. Necessary land for the project has already been allotted and preliminary work is progressing satisfactorily. The Plant is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2014.

 

The Company acquired 90% stake in APAG Holding AG, Switzerland in the year 2012. APAG Holding AG, through its wholly owned subsidiary, APAG Elektronik is engaged in development and sale of electronic and mechatronic modules and control devices for the automotive, consumer goods, power tool electronics and building automation industries. The designing and engineering facility of the company is located in Switzerland, whereas the manufacturing facility is located in the Czech Republic. APAG's performance during the year was noteworthy with significant new business opportunities in the automotive sector. It now proposes to increase its production capacity through modernizing its production line, as well as setting up an additional Greenfield plant near its existing manufacturing facility in the Czech Republic. During the year it also strengthened its development team to cater to prospective new business.

 

PERFORMANCE

 

The operations of the Alco Chemicals Divisions remained stable during the year. Revenue from the sale of Pentaerythritol during 2012-13 was Rs.743.000 millions compared to Rs.662.000 millions in the previous year. Production of Formaldehyde also improved and revenue accruing from it increased from Rs.836.000 millions in 2011-12 to Rs.1114.000 millions in 2012-13. Revenue from the sale of Hexamine was Rs.489.000 millions in 2012-13 compared to Rs.470.000 millions in the previous year.

Market leadership position in several products provides the Divisions a competitive edge in the market. New value added products like Phenol Formaldehyde resins would improve the product mix.

 

Anti dumping action on some countries expected to prevent cheaper imports driving down prices.

 

Extensive backward and forward integration of products and processes, and the innovative use of waste ensure positive commercial impact.
