CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

The company is a private limited company domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The Company is engaged in manufacturing and selling of Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA).

 

 

THE FINANCIAL YEAR IN RETROSPECT

 

The Indian PTA industry, along with its global counterparts, continued to incur severe losses owing to the historically poor PTA  PX margin, mainly on account of oversupply of PTA vis-a-vis undersupply of PX during the year under review. PTA production in India suffered adversely due to series of shutdowns in many PTA units. Inflation on the other hand, hovered around 10-11% and the resultant high cost of capital, exerted severe pressure on working capital, thereby negatively affecting the overall growth of the polyester industry. Though some specialized yarns, PET resins and polyester films makers performed relatively better, the overall situation remained dismal and quite a few major polyester makers were compelled to lower their operation rates or to shut down their operating lines. As much as 1.2 million MT per year polyester capacity were also added against an uncertain and inadequate demand in the downstream spinning and textile sectors, thereby making the overall situation very complex. Overall operation rate of the polyester industry could be realized to the extent of around 65% with a growth rate of only 9.8% over the previous year.

 

PTA producers across Asia continued their losing streaks and in a completely unbalanced demand supply scenario, failed to achieve sustainable prices for their product. China, which had been a significant importer, cut down on its imports of PTA due to substantial domestic capacity addition, resulting in other PTA producing nations resorting to selling their product at unsustainable and distressed prices in Asian market, including India. With no considerable PX capacity additions there was severe paucity of PX, leading to steep rise in PX price, making it the most profitable product in the entire polyester chain. PTA price though, could not catch up comparatively with the rise in PX price, owing to oversupply situation. Consequent to such imbalances, PTA - PX spread remained at a historical low-level, resulting in an average spread of below $ 80 per MT throughout the year under review, which was almost $100 per MT lower than the average spread recorded during the last 15 years. The Company’s performance was also severely affected consequent to continuous devaluation of Indian rupee against $, arising out of its PX and other raw materials imports. Consequent to the cumulative effect of all such constraints, the Company could not achieve the desired results and accordingly could generate a net revenue from its operations of Rs. 68500.840 million in the year under review, as against the corresponding amount of Rs 52140.990 million in the year ended March 31, 2013. The Company recorded net loss of Rs 9314.450 million in the year under report, as compared to the net loss of Rs 7678.280 million for the year ended March 31, 2013.

 

Inspite of such dismal scenario, it may be worthwhile to mention about the effect of the ongoing stabilization process of its line 2 PTA manufacturing facility, consequent to which the Company could record overall historic production of 1.05 million MT of PTA during the year.

 

The financial performance of the Company, unfortunately could not match its operational success as referred above, because of various external and market regulated factors like historical low PTA PX spread, persistent inflationary trends, unstable market conditions, currency devaluation, etc. The Company, while accepting its inability to control the external factors, has resolved to control and regulate the internal forces to maintain and improve its market competitiveness. Accordingly, the Company has since initiated several cost reduction and rationalization efforts at all levels and all across the Company. Further, the Company, in coordination with and technical support of its parent company, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (MCC) has also embarked on a journey for effective and optimum resource utilisation and process rationalization through various mechanical improvements / upgradation, which include, inter-alia, formulating and implementing plans for availing electricity through state owned power generation organisation, on grid power basis expectedly by February 2015 thereby replacing the existing power supply arrangement through DG installation and reducing substantially high cost furnace oil usage vis-a-vis rationalizing pollution factors, installing coal fired thermic fluid heaters in place of the existing oil fired thermic fluid heaters expected to be commissioned by December 2015 which would also reduce furnace oil consumption and operation cost, etc. The Company has also started availing technical assistance from MCC, for improving the paraxylene oxidation technology at both its manufacturing units through the licensed SNC Technology. To note further, the Company has also received from the Directorate of Industries, Government of West Bengal, incentives inter-alia, in the form of Sales Tax / VAT relief on finished goods, on the overall manufacturing capacity of the Company, which was earlier received only on line 1 manufacturing unit. In order to negate the impact of the cheap PTA import price, the Company alongwith other PTA producers have also approached the Government of India to impose Anti-dumping Duty on PTA imports from certain specified countries.

 

The Company, is a single product entity, being engaged in manufacture / sale of PTA. Its segmentwise information, have been indicated in the Annual Accounts and Notes thereto, relating to the year ended March 31, 2014.

 

The Company continued to produce quality PTA during the year under report, which is being commended as of international standard by its customers throughout the world. The Company was also the largest PTA merchant seller in India in the year.

 

The Company pursued its commitment and efforts for streamlining and implementing internal control measures / methods, in consonance with the changing market scenario thereby ensuring safeguarding of assets, conservation and rational utilization of resources and enhancing scope of their sustainability, perusal of compliance / corporate governance / risk management and counter measures thereof, practice and adherence of various internal control rules / regulations / policies / measures / guidelines / code as compatible to the group policies / ideologies and applicable enactments, throughout the period.

 

The Company all through the year under report, voluntarily continued its efforts and activities towards the socio-economic development of the people, improvement of the environment, etc, primarily in / around the plant area in Haldia as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. The activities so carried out in these respects include, building up a book bank and books distribution to the underprivileged students of the local schools in / around Haldia, program of sweater distribution amongst poor children of local school, conducting health check up of students of schools in / around their plant area in Haldia, conducting monthly medical health camps for the villagers in / around the plant area in Haldia, facilitating eye check-up and eye surgery for the disadvantaged people, especially children and elderly, in co-ordination with NGO, blood donation, support to concerned NGO in Kolkata for providing treatment to poor Thalaseamia patients, promoting tree plantation and various other green environment programs, encouraging women empowerment projects for the women under BPL category in Haldia through the concerned NGO in tailoring and health care activities, extending support to people affected by the floods in the villages of Purba Medinipur jointly with local administration etc. The Company pledges to zealously pursue its efforts, to promote, consolidate the strong bond and relationship between people, society, nature and to establish its identity as a responsible corporate citizen in the coming years.

 

The Company during the period pursued its efforts, for creating and preserving a pollution free environment and conservation of natural resources, improving standards of occupational health, implementing, adopting procedures for safe and accident free operation etc. During the said period, the Company renewed its Integrated Management System with respect to ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007. The Company also successfully implemented co-processing of hazardous wastes jointly with external entity, in order to facilitate better environment management and achieve effective cost reduction. The Company continued its efforts to promote safety awareness amongst all concerned, during plant operation and throughout the plant premises, inter-alia, through various types of on-site and specific trainings. The Company overall, continued its efforts for implementation, maintenance of the required facilities related with Health, Safety & Environment, which eventually would cater to the need for better and secured environment through and within the region.

 

Despite the severe and constrained market conditions, the PTA related industry is expected t have a positive outlook for 2014 - 15, based on the following major assessments / estimates:

 

- Expected additions of new PX capacities in Asia approximating 6 - 7 million metric tons annually, could result in a much healthier and sustainable PTA - PX spread on account of stable PX supply.

 

- Expected restructuring of Chinese PTA industry considering the changing PTA market scenario.

 

- Increase in domestic polyester capacities is expected to be approximately 1.4 million tons annually, consequently resulting in increase in demand for PTA.

 

- Expected growth boost to the Indian economy as a whole, subsequent to new government formation.

 

- Per capita consumption of Polyester in India is low compared with other countries in the world, thereby hinting at future growth prospects of the Indian Polyester industry.

 

- Expected strengthening of the position of the Company, as the largest merchant seller of PTA in the domestic market compared to the projected status of other PTA makers in the country.

 

The Company’s 2nd PTA manufacturing line, appears to have been stabilized and in-line with the on-going modification / upgradation process, is expected to operate steadily @ 100%. New PX capacities in Middle-East, are also expected to make the PX supply situation more steady and balanced. With such positives around, along with the expected available production of around 1.2 million MT of PTA at its disposal at the desired 100% operational level, availability of in-house technical skill, expertise, technical support of MCC, on-going cost rationalization process, sustainable and optimum utilisation of resources and the like, Directors expect that the Company would be able to effectively make a turn around and make significant contributions towards the growth of Indian Polyester industry in the future years.

NOTE:

 

* The claims against the company comprise:

 

(a) The company has received a claim of Rs. 69.38 million (31 March, 2013: Rs. 69.38 million) from Technology Development Board, Government Of India for payment of cess under the Research & Development Cess Act, 1986 , with respect to the payments made to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Limited, Japan (M/s MHI). The company is of the opinion that such payments to M/s. MHI do not attract cess under the provisions of the said Act, which has been communicated to the concerned authority and therefore not provided for. The company has not received any further communication from the Technology Development Board.

 

(b) In respect of matter relating to claim of excise duty on deemed consideration arising from utilisation of advance licences received from specified buyers of PTA for sales under the deemed export category, the Central Excise Commissioner in January 2009 had adjudicated the matter against the company and confirmed the demands amounting to Rs. 306.970 million along with penalty of an equivalent amount for the entire period of April 2000 to November 2006 and interest as per section 11AB of the Central Excise Act, 1944.

 

Subsequently, in April 2009, the company filed appeals before the Central Excise and Service Tax Tribunal (CESTAT) against the Commissioner’s order. The case came up for hearing in October 2009 and the Hon’ble CESTAT dropped an amount of Rs.112.790 million on grounds of limitation and also dropped the original demands for interest and penalty leaving a total demand of Rs.194.200 million which the Hon’ble CESTAT also ordered the company to pre-deposit. The company did it in October 2009 by utilizing its Cenvat Account by Rs. 194.200 million. The company is awaiting the final disposal of the case by the Hon’ble CESTAT.

 

The company is of the view that the facts of the Supreme Court ruling in another case which was referred to by the Excise Department, are significantly different to its fact pattern and is thus, confident that this liability would not devolve on the company. The company has also obtained legal advice and opinion on the matter, and has not considered a provision necessary for these demands.

 

However, for the period commencing from December 2006, the company has charged excise duty on the price inclusive of such advance licence benefit and duly recovered the same from the ultimate customers.

 

(c) Other claims against the company with respect to demands raised by Central Excise, Service Tax, Sales Tax and Income Tax authorities not acknowledged as debts amount to Rs. 1233.560 million (31 March, 2013: Rs. 1427.880 million).
