BACKGROUND

 

EICL Limited (formerly known as English Indian Clays Limited), a Company incorporated in India in 1963, under the Companies Act, 1956, was part of the erstwhile Thapar Group. The Company is engaged in the business of mining of clay (kaolin) and manufacturing of processed clay, starch and allied products.

OPERATIONS

 

The operations of the Company were adversely affected due to slow down in the manufacturing sector particularly in the paper, board and textile industries. The economic slow down has resulted in supply exceeding demand in starch business and the entry of new players in the clay market has put pressure on the margins of

the Company’s products.

 

The company has registered a marginal growth of 9%, with a net turnover of Rs. 4620 Millions as against Rs. 4210.000 Millions in the previous year. The Company’s efforts on process improvement coupled with price increases resulted in an increase of 33% in the PAT (Profit after Tax) to Rs. 160.000 Millions from Rs. 120.000 Millions in the previous year.

 

The speciality starch plant at Shimoga has taken a longer period for its stabilization, incurring EBIDTA loss during the year under review. However, the plant is expected to reach EBIDTA breakeven during the current financial year.

 

As informed earlier, the Company had put Bhuj Clay project on hold due to adverse economic conditions and management is constantly reviewing the same.

 

A detailed review of the operations and performance of the clay and starch businesses is contained in the Management Discussion & Analysis Report which is appended to the Directors’ Report and forms part of it.

 

 

EXPORTS

 

The continued thrust on export activities has resulted in volume growth by 16% during the financial year under

review. The Company’s total exports were at 483.200 Millions in the year under review as compared to ` 280.400

Millions in the previous year, showing a growth of 72%.
