CEMENT DIVISION

Industry Structure and Developments

The Indian cement industry is the second largest market after China accounting for about 8% of the total global production. The per capita consumption of cement in India is about 210 kg., which is substantially poor when compared with the world average of 560 kg.This underlines the tremendous scope for growth in Indian cement industry in the long term. The Indian cement industry is currently struggling with both weak demand and over Capacity, which has kept the operating margins under pressure.

 

Sales

 

During the year, even though on all India basis, the cement industry has shown a growth of about 3%, the Company has registered a growth of 16.69% in cement sales. In absolute terms, the sale of cement has increased to 73.63 Lacs tons compared to 63.10 Lacs tons in the previous year.

 

Outlook

During the Financial Year 2013-14 the cement demand has been muted with poor off take from infrastructure segment and slow economic growth. However, after the completion of the General Elections and assumption of the new Government at the Centre, the economic activities are expected to give a push to the Indian economy. Consequential increase in construction activity in the housing and infrastructure sector is expected to give a fillip to the demand for cement.

JUTE DIVISION

Industry Structure and Developments

 

Jute Industry occupies an important place in the economy of West Bengal. It is one of the major industries of Eastern Region. It supports nearly 4 million farm families, besides providing direct employment to about 0.250 Million industrial workers. Jute goods possess excellent property for packaging of agricultural products. The use of Geo-textiles jute products is increasing in areas like road construction, mining and soil conservation. Main products manufactured by the industry are Sacking, Hessian, Carpet Backing Cloth, Yarn, Food Grade Products.

 

Performance

 

Birla Jute Mills at Birlapur achieved highest ever production of jute goods during the year at 38015 MT as against 15380 MT during the previous year. The performance of the Mill during 2013-14 is not comparable with the previous year as the Mill was under `Suspension of Work` for substantial period during 2012-13.

 

The production during the year could have been higher but for the lower demand due to the dilution of the Jute Packaging Materials (Compulsory use in packing commodities) Act, 1987, (JPMA), which has resulted in severe drop in demand for jute goods. As a result, the jute division of the Company had to resort to production cuts from November, 2013. To overcome vagaries of government orders under the jute division is laying emphasis on improving export of jute goods. Export performance during the year has shown substantial improvement at 6966 metric tons as against 3012 metric tons in the previous year.

 

Outlook

Rainfalls in the jute growing areas of India and Bangladesh in the current season have been very scanty and the jute growers were unable to start sowing. The climatic conditions during the later part of the year will prove to be decisive for raw jute yield which would consequently impact the performance of the division.

NEW PROJECTS

Considering factors such as market potential, proximity to fly-ash sources, availability of tax incentives etc. The setting up of three grinding/blending units in Madhya Pradesh, one grinding unit in Bihar, one blending unit in Uttar Pradesh and another blending unit in Jharkhand has been approved by the Board of Directors during the year. The Company is in the process of acquiring land and obtaining various government clearances for the above projects.

FINANCE

The high financial discipline and prudence and the strong credit rating has enabled the Company to reduce its cost of working capital borrowings. The Company continuously undertakes review of liability management so as to    reduce cost.

During the year, the Company has signed an agreement with Foreign Banks to refinance the existing foreign currency Term Loan of USD 70 million with another foreign currency Term Loan with same maturity at a lower rate of interest. Out of the above, the Company has drawn USD 35 million up to 31st March, 2014 and the balance will be drawn by May, 2014.

Further, the Company efficiently manages its surplus funds by investing in highly rated debt securities and debt schemes of mutual funds considering safety, liquidity and return.

AWARDS & RECOGNITION

During the year, the Company has been declared "Winner of Silver Award in the Cement Sector for Outstanding Achievements in Safety Management" by Greentech Safety Award 2013.

Further, the Quality Circle team, "Anusandhan", of the Satna unit, has won the "Distinction Award" at the International Convention of Quality Circles at Taiwan. The Satna Unit also received `HR Gold Award` under Best Strategy Category by Greentech Foundation.

The Chanderia unit of the Company had received `Bhamashah Award-2013` from the Minister of Education, Govt. of Rajasthan, for excellent contribution towards education. The unit has also received the 12th Annual Greentech Safety Award - 2013 from Greentech Foundation, New Delhi, for outstanding achievement in safety management.

During the year, Birla Jute Mills has become the first composite Jute Mill to be certified under ISO 14001: 2004 and the OHSAS (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) 18001: 2007.
