FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

The Company, registered a growth of 13.19% in sales for the year ended 31.03.14 over the previous year. For the same period, it achieved a sales turnover of Rs. 3400.700 Millions as against Rs. 3004.300 Millions in the previous year. The plant operated smoothly and on schedule during the year.

The Company achieved ISO 9001:2008 standards, reflecting its commitment towards quality and customer satisfaction. Operating margins were under pressure due to sharp depreciation of the rupee. This led to a substantial increase in input costs.

 

 

SEGMENT-WISE/ PRODUCT-WISE PERFORMANCE

 

Domestic sales saw 8.15% growth this year, contributing Rs. 2399.700 Millions, as against Rs. 2218.800 Millions in the previous year. Export sales (excluding export benefits) saw 27.31% growth this year, contributing Rs. 965.000 Millions, as against Rs. 758.000 Millions in the previous year. Since direct export operations contributed more than 10% of the company’s total revenue, they consider this geographic segment to be a primary segment.

 

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

Plastics and textiles find their place in countless facets of the modern life. From health and well-being, nutrition, shelter and transportation to safety and security, communication, leisure activities, etc, they are present everywhere. Plastics and textiles improve their lives, bring them joy, convenience, efficiency and connection to others. In some forms, these materials can even prove to be life savers. In short, the versatility and adaptability of these materials make them an indispensible part of an increasingly complex world. Hence, it is rational to expect the demand for these products to only increase in the future, as they are amongst the largest manufacturing industries in the world.

 

The Company manufactures color and additive Masterbatches for the dope dyeing of man-made fibres (MMF), various plastic applications and engineering plastics and compounds. These are essential products required for textile and plastic products. Masterbatch consumption in India is estimated to be 400 KT in 2016-17 from 255 KT during the year 2012-13. India’s exports of man-made fibres (MMF) have shown some growth this quarter after seven consecutive quarters of decline. MMF exports for the 9 months period, April to December 2013, touched US $ 4.2 billion against US $3.8 billion in the previous year.

 

With the increasing costs of natural and blended textiles, the demand for synthetic textiles is bound to increase. As per Technopak, a retail consultancy, the total textile and apparel market size (domestic and export), estimated at $89 billion in 2011, is projected to grow at a 9% CAGR to reach $223 billion by 2021. The domestic textile and apparel market size, estimated at $58 billion in 2011, is projected to grow to $141 billion by 2021. The key growth segment is technical textiles, which is likely to see a 10% CAGR, followed by 9% in apparels and 8% in home textiles.

 

Polymer consumption in India is poised to grow multifold, with the help of new developments in packaging applications, infrastructure growth, modernization of agricultural sector, improved healthcare facilities, improved lifestyles and disposable incomes, automobiles demand and rural penetration. The key growth drivers for this sector are food and processed food items, FMCG and cosmetics. Polymer demand in India is likely to touch 16.5 MMT in 2016-17 from 11 MMT in 2012-13. The Indian plastics industry is growing at close to 15% p.a. As the consumption of masterbatches is linked to the consumption of polymers and synthetic dope dyed fibers, the domestic market is also expected to grow at the rate of 15% p.a. for the next few years.

 

The global textile fibre industry is expected to grow from 81MMT to 105 MMT by 2020. Of this, the growth of polyester will account for over 68%. India is poised to strengthen its global foothold, with its production rising from the current 8% to 10% of the global volume. Polyester fibre and yarn continue to be the major contributors to the growth of the fibre industry. The global capacity polyester fibre and yarn is expected to reach 44MMT by 2015, as compared to 41.31 MMT in 2012. Demand has largely been lead by the Asian countries, with China contributing 9% growth.

 

India's domestic textile front is also in a very strong position. While the global per capita consumption of man-made fibre is around 12 kg per annum, it is merely 3.5 kg in India, hence providing significant scope for the increase in domestic consumption.

 

Polyester is the primary MMF in all the major product segments, and accounts for 54% of the global textile consumption, owing to its versatility. They have witnessed an increase in the share of MMF amongst all fibres, particularly in China. This trend is likely to favor the overall polyester consumption. The domestic market is expected to have a healthy filament demand growth, owing to import substitution and new application areas in FDY (Fully Drawn Yarn). Domestic polyester demand grew by 6% during the year led by Fully Drawn Yarn (FDY) and PET. FDY witnessed the highest growth rate of 17%, owing to increased applications and newer areas of consumption.

 

India’s per capita consumption of plastic is at 6.6kg, far behind that of the US (67.3Kg), China (36.7Kg) and Brazil (24.6Kg). However, the polymer industry is growing at 2.5 times India’s GDP growth. Besides, the subcontinent’s surging industrialization and increasingly powerful economy holds immense untapped growth potential.

The company has made in-roads into some of the world’s largest masterbatch markets. The growth from export sales is expected to be around 15% per annum for the next few years. The company’s thrust on the continuous development of new and innovative products will enable it to stay ahead of the competition. With the growing demand of masterbatches, it can optimistically be stated that in the coming years, the company is headed towards excellent growth and better all-round performance.
