ACTIVITIES

Profit before tax for the year ended 31st March, 2014 stood at Rs. 1,943.600 million as compared to Rs. 1,690.300 million for the previous year which represents an increase of 15.0%.

 

Profit after tax at Rs. 1,278.700 million during the year ended 31st March, 2014 was higher by 12.1% compared to the previous year.

 

The Agricultural Solutions Segment has shown good growth in sales and significant increase in profits during the year ended 31st March, 2014 mainly on account of introduction of new products and adoption of innovative marketing initiatives.

However, margins were under pressure for care chemicals, performance chemicals and dispersion and pigments businesses.

 

The Chemicals Segment of the Company comprises of intermediates, petrochemicals and monomers businesses. The sales and profits of the Chemicals Segment were lower as compared to the previous year. This was mainly on account of marginal growth in sales of intermediates and petrochemicals businesses.

 

The Functional Materials and Solutions Segment of the Company comprises of coatings, construction chemicals, performance materials and process catalyst technologies businesses. The sales of the Functional Materials and Solutions Segment registered growth during the year under review. However, margins were impacted mainly on account of slowdown in the automotive and construction industries and infrastructure investment, rising interest rates, liquidity crunch and weakening of the dollar against the rupee.

 

Exports sales stood at Rs. 4,026.100 million during the year under report and represented an increase of 50% over the previous year. This was mainly on account of higher exports of fluorescent whitening agents and paper dyes.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

The Indian economy recorded growth of 4.5% (revised) in 2012-2013 and is estimated to continue its subdued growth of less than 5% in 2013-2014. Good monsoon is estimated to lead to a healthy growth rate of 3.6% in agriculture, up from 1.5% a year earlier. However, high interest rate, rising inflation, sharp depreciation of rupee against the dollar and weak global market lead to low industrial and services growth. Manufacturing sector is estimated to remain flat in 2013-2014 compared to growth of 1.1% in the previous year.

 

During 2013-2014, the domestic automotive industry was hit adversely by high inflation and rising interest rates. Two-wheeler segment grew at 7%, while the passenger and commercial vehicles declined by 3.9% and 18.7%, respectively.

 

The domestic pharmaceutical market is estimated to have increased at 8% due to increased opportunities in the exports of generic medicines and greater penetration in rural markets.

 

Indian construction industry is expected to grow by 2.6% in 2013-2014.

 

The products manufactured by the Company serve several sectors including agriculture, automobiles, construction, pharmaceuticals, consumer durables, consumer care, paint, paper, leather and textiles. In a challenging year which saw many market segments remain flat or decline, the Company continued to strengthen its position in the market.

 

 

AGRICULTURAL SOLUTIONS

 

The Agricultural Solutions business includes agrochemicals like insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and specialties. The Crop Protection industry in which this business of the Company operates is dependent on the monsoon. The Agricultural Solutions business registered a good growth in sales and profits during the year mainly on account of introduction of new products and adoption of innovative marketing initiatives.

 

The SAMRUDDHITM (prosperity) programme, where the Company operates as a total solution provider to the farmers contributed significantly to this growth. This program was recognized as a good example of corporate engagement in rural India by the German Society of International Cooperation and the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs.

 

With appropriate pricing policies for agricultural commodities and higher investment and production, the agricultural sector is expected to perform better.

 

 

PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS

 

The Performance Products business includes performance chemicals, dispersions and pigments, care chemicals, nutrition and health products and paper chemicals. The business caters to the requirements of a wide spectrum of industries, including textiles, leather, plastics and coatings, detergent formulators, pharmaceuticals, automobile and oil.

 

During the year, the Leather Chemicals business witnessed a growth in sales, both in volume and value terms. New opportunities in the area of automotive upholstery systems were identified. The business continued its efforts

to work closely with its customers. New concepts viz., low emission, process innovation and premium leather were also introduced during the year.

 

Closure of tanneries on account of stringent pollution norms, currency fluctuations, import regulations on hides and skins, fluctuation in raw material prices and acute water shortage in tanneries are major concerns for this business.

 

Despite the difficult market conditions, outlook for the Leather Chemicals business looks optimistic as the Company focuses on serving high value markets with innovative products and services.

 

The Indian textile industry is one of the major contributors to the Indian industry contributing 4% to GDP, 14% to industrial production and 11% to export earnings. During the year, the Company’s Textile Chemicals business achieved good growth in sales and profits.

 

Demand for home textiles and denims are expected to grow during the year. Technical textiles would also witness

significant investments. Innovation in process optimization and resource savings would lead to further growth opportunities in this segment.

 

Lack of innovation in textiles, credit crunch, high transportation and utilities costs and stringent pollution control norms are the major concerns for this business.

 

The outlook for the Textile Chemicals business looks challenging due to rising raw material cost, higher local capacities, weakening of rupee and stiff competition in the domestic market.

 

The Care Chemicals business of the Company mainly caters to personal care, home care and formulation technology sectors. During the year, the Care Chemicals business of the Company registered healthy sales growth but margins were under pressure mainly due to exchange rate impact. Higher demand for increased functionalities in personal care products during the year was well-supported by launch of new concepts and solutions in the personal care segment. Investments made by leading personal care players in the industry will provide good opportunity for personal care ingredients supplied by the Company. Similarly, demand for better performing and higher efficiency products in the Home Care industry will drive the demand for polymers, fluorescent whitening agents, stain remover and surfactants of the Company. Growth opportunities for the formulation technologies were also seen in the emulsion polymerization, construction and paper industries. Increased demand is also seen in eco-friendly surfactants and chelating agents. The Care Chemicals business also achieved good growth in export sales on account of higher demand for export of fluorescent whitening agents.

 

The Plastic Additives business is categorised into anti-oxidants, light stabilizers and pigments for the plastic industry with customers broadly classified into upstream and downstream industries such as packaging and automotive industries. Expansion plans of major polymer producers and shift from natural fibres to plastic in the packaging sector will increase the demand for light stabilizers in the plastic additives business.

 

The Fuel and Lubricants business caters to the automotive, fuel, lubricants, refinery and refrigeration industries. Inspiteof challenging economic conditions, this business registered good growth in sales as compared to the previous year. This business continued to supply anti-freeze coolants to major manufacturers in India. With new product launches, this business is expected to grow.

 

The Water Solutions business of the Company provides offerings to raw water, industrial and municipal effluents. Significant growth in the municipal effluent sector is expected to offer good opportunity for their products; flocculants and coagulants. Global integration of INGE water technologies with advanced ultra-filtration membranes will further enhance the offerings of the Company in the water sector.

 

Oilfield solutions cater to the service companies that carry out work for the oil sector. Growth areas have been identified in the enhanced oil recovery areas in future.

 

Mining solutions is mainly focused on the coal and alumina mining sectors. With expected reforms in the mining sector, this business is expected to grow.

 

The Nutrition and Health business of the Company offers a comprehensive range of products and solutions for the Human Nutrition, Animal Nutrition, Pharma Ingredients, Application Services and Flavours and Fragrances. The Nutrition and Health business performed well over the previous year. This business offered solutions to the base of the pyramid market segment in the area of healthcare and also continued promotion of innovative solutions through joint development projects with key pharma Companies.

 

The Dispersions and Pigments business of the Company comprises of pigments, resins, dispersions and additives which cater to the needs of the adhesives, paints and coatings, printing and packaging and construction industries. This business registered moderate growth in sales during the year on account of slowdown in the automotive, paints and coatings industries. Discontinuance of some of the products in the printing range due to low profitability impacted the sales of this business to the printing and packaging industries. However, strong growth was witnessed in the products of this business supplied to the construction industry. The Dispersions and Pigments business is also proposing to increase its volume growth once the new plant at Dahej commences production in mid 2014.

 

The Paper Chemicals business of the Company caters to the paper industry comprising of writing and printing paper, coated paper, packaging paper and boards and newsprint. The Paper Chemicals business has a comprehensive product portfolio as well as the requisite technical expertise and grew in sales and profits during the year.

 

A new product “XELOREXTM”, which helps reduce raw material usage in paper and improves productivity, was launched. However, financial liquidity in the paper industry is a concern for this business.

 

The dyes plant of the Company at Ankleshwar is running at full capacity and exports of PERGAFAST® continued to be good. The new production plant at Dahej will further help in catering to the customers in Northern and Western India. Despite the challenging environment, the Paper Chemicals business is expected to grow in the coming years on account of likely increase in export of paper dyes.

 

 

CHEMICALS

 

The Company’s Chemicals business includes intermediates, petrochemicals and monomers. The chemicals supplied by the BASF Group cater to the requirement of a wide range of user industries including coatings, life sciences, construction additives, food and feed, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, plastics and fibers, process chemicals and intermediates.

 

Sales of the chemicals business were lower as compared to the previous year.

 

During the year, the intermediates business of the Company witnessed marginal growth both in volume and value. Products supplied to the agrochemicals and pharmaceutical industries grew while rupee depreciation impacted imports of products to customers. The inorganics chemicals business was integrated with this business during the year, further strengthened the offerings to the life science industry.

 

The product portfolio of the petrochemicals business comprises of Oxo-alcohols, Solvents, Acrylics monomers and Plasticizers. The sales of this business grew marginally during the year despite an unplanned shutdown of the petrochemicals production plant in Malaysia and higher supply from new capacities being built-up for Oxo-alcohols and Acrylics in China and Middle East. Inspite of this challenging environment, the petrochemicals business was able to maintain its position with key customers in the paints, coatings and plasticizers segments.

 

A new business division known as Monomers was created with effect from 1st April, 2013 under the Chemicals segment, which includes majority of the product group from the inorganics chemicals business, basic raw materials for polyurethane and polyamides and intermediates from Performance Polymers.

 

Major demand drivers for this business are in the areas of flexible packaging and spinning industries. However, increasing material inflow from countries, especially from Thailand with duty benefits and volatile raw material prices coupled with currency fluctuations are impacting this business.

 

The outlook for this business looks positive, especially in the area of mattress and footwear.

 

The Company is also setting up an MDI splitter at Dahej which will help Indian customers to switch from imported MDI to local MDI.

PRESS RELEASE

 

BASF GIVES RS 170.000 MILLIONS BOOST TO INDIA BUSINESS

 

Saturday, 8 March 2014

 

BASF has opened a global research and development (R&D) centre at its manufacturing facility in Turbhe, Navi Mumbai.

 

"The initial capital expenditure for the centre will be 2 million euros (Rs 17 crore) and it will have 60 scientists to start with," said Raman Ramachandran, head, South Asia, and chairman, BASF companies in India.

 

This facility has been set up by BASF under its group company BASF Chemicals India Private Limited and is not part of the listed Indian entity.

 

Harald Lauke, president, biological and effect systems research, said: "By 2020, we plan to conduct 50% research activities outside Europe, of which one quarter (25%) will be in Asia Pacific and the other (25%) in the US," he said.

 

Lauke said the company is also evaluating further investment options in R&D in Asia Pacific, including India.

 

BASF has over 700 researchers in Asia and this is set to increase to 3,600 in six years. "It will be difficult to give out numbers for the India operations," he said.

 

An Agronomical Research and Development Field Station in Pune, established for the agricultural business, is among the other initiatives. BASF has 16 R&D facilities and a host of technology centres across the globe.

 

In India, the company the company has eight production sites, including those in Mangalore, Ankleshwar and Chennai. In Mangalore, BASF already has an R&D facility.

 

The company made it India entry as a commodity seller over 100 years ago. It makes chemicals, plastics, performance products, crop protection products and has interest in the oil and gas sector.

 

"We have already initiated an integrated manufacturing facility for production of polyurethanes, care chemicals and polymer dispersions in Dahej, Gujarat. The new facility, costing Rs 1,000 crore, will start production sometime in 2014," said Ramachandran.

 

Ramachandran said BASF's India turnover has grown from Rs 4,600 crore in 2008 to Rs 7,900 crore in 2013. "We have almost doubled business in the last five years. The India business contributes about 2% to the company's global sales of around euro 80 billion," he said.

 

 

BASF’S DAHEJ PROJECT TO BE COMPLETELY FUNDED BY EXTERNAL COMMERCIAL BORROWINGS

 

Chennai, Aug 24:  

 

BASF India Rs. 10000.000 Millions greenfield project at Dahej in Gujarat is to be entirely funded by debt from its group company, BASF Co-ordination Centre NV.

 

The debt will come in the form of ‘external commercial borrowings’, according to rating agency Crisil.

 

The agency said in a recent press release that BASF India would be able to meet the ECB repayment obligation which will be due in five years from draw-down.

 

“Crisil also believes that the parent will allow BASF India to extend the repayment tenure of ECBs in case of exigency,” the statement said.

 

Dahej unit

 

At Dahej, BASF India is putting up a chemical plant to produce polyurethane, care chemicals and polymer dispersion chemicals for coatings and paper. The plant is due to go on stream in 2014.

 

BASF India’s products cater to a variety of end-user industries, including leather, textile, paper, construction, automotive, personal and home care, agriculture, petrochemicals, and refining.

 

The diversity of revenue streams helps the company mitigate the impact of cyclicality and competitive pressures in some business segments.

 

Networth, liquidity

 

BASF India has a “healthy financial risk profile”, marked by its sizeable networth of Rs. 10300.000 Millions as on March 31, 2012; healthy liquidity with unutilised bank limits of Rs. 3500.000 Millions as on June 31, 2012; and estimated cash accruals of more than Rs. 1700.000 Millions.

 

The company’s liquidity is expected to remain unaffected by the additional debt as the same is raised from the parent, and the company enjoys adequate flexibility in repayment terms.

 

However, any significant time or cost overrun in the capex or additional project funding from external sources will remain rating sensitivity factors.

 

Agrochemical, plastic biz

 

However, BASF India also remains exposed to risks inherent in the agrochemical business, including erratic rainfall, and intense competition, especially from spurious pesticides and insecticides.

 

Besides, the company’s plastics business continues to witness pricing pressures and is reporting weak profitability because of competition and surplus capacity, thereby impacting the company’s return on capital employed ratio.

 

Net profit, operating income

 

For 2011-12, BASF India reported a net profit of Rs. 1000.000 Millions on an operating income of Rs. 35160.000 Millions, against a net profit of Rs. 1180.000 Millions on an operating income of Rs. 30640.00 Millions for 2010-11.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, BASF India reported a net profit of Rs. 716.800 Millions compared with Rs. 526.600 Millions in the same period of last year.

 

On the BSE today, the BASF shares were trading at Rs. 651, down 0.79 per cent from the previous close.
