REVIEW OF THE ECONOMY

 

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) has estimated that Indian economy is likely to register growth of 7.4 per cent in 2014-15, as compared to a growth of 5.1 per cent and 6.9 per cent in 2012-13 and 2013-14 respectively. Industrial and services sectors registered significant growth but growth in agricultural sector affected adversely due to sub-optimal monsoon in 2014-15. The year 2014-15 has witnessed key policy reforms aimed at promoting growth and eliminating structural constraints in the economy. The Government's initiative of 'Make in India' aided further by liberalization in foreign direct investment, low oil price, easier credit conditions, etc. should give greater impetus to the economy.

 

While the Indian economy seems to be getting back on track, global economy is still struggling to gain momentum as many developed economies continue to grapple with the still lingering legacies of the global financial crisis and the emerging economies are performing below their potential. Global growth in 2014 was a modest 3.4 per cent indicating a sluggish pickup in the advanced economies in relation to previous year and a slowdown in emerging markets and developing economies, as per the World Economic Outlook (WEO) update released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Activity levels in United States and United Kingdom have gathered momentum due to well thought out monetary and labour market policies. The recovery has been miniscule in Eurozone and Japan. China is undergoing a carefully managed slowdown. Overall global growth is projected to reach 3.5 per cent and 3.8 per cent in 2015 and 2016.

 

GRAPHITE INDIA

 

The Company recorded a subdued performance during the year. Revenue from Operations decreased by 14.8 per cent to Rs. 1,5713.600 Million for FY 2014-15 as against Rs. 1,8448.900 Million in the previous year. The decline was primarily driven by lower sales volume and lower price realization. One of the major reasons for low demand of Graphite Electrodes was Chinese over production of steel through the Blast Furnace method leading to higher export of steel from China at low price which ultimately impacted global steel production through Electric Arc Furnace route. The rapid slide in price of Graphite Electrodes continued unabated due to excess capacity and fierce competition. The year witnessed steep fall in pricing of Graphite Electrodes further aggravated by weak Euro. Commodity and oil prices dropped resulting in reduction in input cost. However, the reduction was not sufficient to compensate for the falling price of finished goods which resulted in lower margins. The PAT of Rs. 821.900 Million for current year was lower by around 52% in comparison to Rs. 1709.200 Million of previous year.

The Company's Graphite and Carbon Segment continues to be the main source of revenue and profit for the Company, accounting for about 89% of the total revenue.

 

Glass Reinforced Plastic Pipes and Steel divisions have performed better during the year in comparison to previous year.

 

The business environment in all segments has become intensely competitive. In order to sustain and survive through this difficult phase, the Company has taken extraordinary measures in ensuring efficient management of all resources, innovative approach to cost reduction and high level of operating efficiencies.

 

The performance of the German subsidiaries continues to suffer due to unremunerative selling prices and weak demand scenario in Europe. However the industry projections are indicating a recovery in the medium term.

 

 

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Industry's structure and developments

 

 Graphite and Carbon Segment

Graphite Electrode is used in electric arc furnace (EAF) based steel mills for conducting current that melts scrap iron and steel and is a consumable item for the steel industry. An increasing proportion of global steel is made using electric arc furnaces, and the electric arc furnace itself is getting more efficient, making more steel per tonne of electrode. The principal manufacturers are based in USA, South America, Europe, India, China, Malaysia and Japan.

 

Graphite Electrode demand is primarily linked with the global production of steel in electric arc furnaces. Between the two basic methods for steel production - (1) Blast Furnace (BF); and (2) Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) – the EAF route to steel production has increased over the last two decades to about 30% at the global level. The share of EAF is expected to grow further in years to come due to its inherent favourable characteristics of (a) an environment friendly and less polluting production process; (b) low capital cost; and (c) faster project (commissioning) time. Fresh investments in EAF steel mills are characterized by large furnace capacities requiring large diameter UHP Electrodes. It is expected that the demand for UHP Electrodes too will grow synchronously. These industry features coupled with an increasing proportion of EAF steel share in total crude steel production in future should proportionately augment the demand for Graphite Electrodes.

 

Stagnant demand, intense competition and sliding sales price continued to push challenges during the year. This is compounded by liberalization of import tariff for these items by the Government in new FTA regime. Unabated imports of Graphite Electrodes from China, Malaysia and Japan caused severe setback to the industry. However, the Government has finally clamped Anti Dumping Duty on imports from China with effect from 13th February, 2015.

 

The duty drawback on export of Graphite Electrodes has been further reduced from 3 per cent to 2.4 per cent with effect from 22nd November, 2014. However, the value cap was increased from 3200/MT to 8000/MT. The interest subvention available for export finance till 31st March, 2014 was not extended during the year resulting in high cost of funds. Recently announced Foreign Trade Policy provides for incentive on export to notified markets to offset infrastructural inefficiencies and associated costs under Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) which should augur well for exporters.

 

Calcined Petroleum Coke and Paste

 

The Coke Division in Barauni, engaged in the manufacture of Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC), which is used as a raw material for certain grades of electrodes, is one of the several backward integration initiatives of the Company. The Division also makes Carbon Electrode Paste and Carbon Tamping Paste. Two grades of CPC - aluminium and graphite - are produced here. CPC is a raw material used in the manufacture of regular and high power grade Graphite Electrodes. This is also a critical raw material for fine grained high density graphite used in speciality graphite products and imperviousgraphite equipment. Carbon Electrode Paste is used in ferro alloy smelters and Carbon Tamping Paste is used as a lining material in submerged arc furnaces.

 

This division could not perform to expectations because of poor demand, low realisation and constraint in supply of basic raw material i.e. raw petroleum coke.

 

Impervious Graphite Equipment

 

The Impervious Graphite Equipment (IGE) Division is engaged in manufacturing and marketing of heat exchangers, ejectors, pumps and turnkey plants. These have a wide range of applications in corrosive chemicals industries such as pharmaceutical, agro-chemical, chloro alkali and fertilizer industries.

 

Over the years the Company has built this product line into a reliable brand with a reputation for prompt service, good quality and consistent performance through investing in strengthening the core competencies. The division did not perform up to expectation due to weak export demand. Export realization also suffered due to weak Euro.

 

Captive Power

 

Power constitutes one of the major costs of Electrode Production. For captive consumption, the Company has an installed capacity of 31.5 MW of power generation through Hydel (18 MW) route and 13.5 MW through multi-fuel route. Power generation through Hydel Power Plant was 48.48 million units as against 52.54 million units in the previous year. The multi fuel power generating sets remained as a stand-by facility as adequate power was available from the Grid.

 

Steel Segment

 

Powmex Steels Division (PSD) is engaged in the business of manufacturing high speed steel and alloy steel having its plant at Titilagarh in the State of Orissa. PSD is the single largest manufacturer of High Speed Steel (HSS) in the country. HSS is used in the manufacture of cutting tools such as drills, taps, milling cutters, reamers, hobs, broaches and special form tools. HSS cutting tools are essentially utilized in - (a) automotive; (b) machine tools; (c) aviation; and (d) DIY market. The industry is characterised by one good quality manufacturer of HSS viz. PSD and several other small manufacturers who cater to the low end of the quality spectrum in the retail segment. On the demand side, the industry is broadly divided into large and small cutting tool manufacturers who use both domestic and imported HSS. PSD faces competition from small domestic producers and imports from large overseas manufacturers.

 

During the year under review, there was a marginal improvement in the domestic market for the Division's HSS products. The Division has identified a few potential customers in the domestic market who as part of their indigenization programme approached the Division for their HSS requirements, with more stringent specifications. The Division is able to meet those specifications and hence the customers have decided to buy their bulk requirements from PSD. Newer grades and sizes are also being developed for the domestic market to widen the product range. Exports remained subdued due to slowdown in the European economies.

 

 Other Segments

 

Glass Reinforced Plastic Pipes and Tanks (GRP)

GRP Division is engaged in manufacturing of large diameter Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic Pipes and Pipeline liners, by continuous filament process with computerized, advanced technology. These pipes have diverse applications such as water supply projects, power plants, sewerage disposal schemes, industrial effluent disposal, etc.

 

The Company has a good track record of supplying large diameter pipes in major infrastructure projects. Units which were under-cutting the prices to an unsustainable level are shutting down their operations due to various reasons. This will give edge to the units which are in quality production. However project cost overruns, delay in completion of projects, disputes on contractual defaults and non-receipt of receivables remain inherent risks in the business. The Company's policy of picking up orders selectively has paid off and the unit has performed better than previous year. Further consolidation in the industry is expected.

 

1.5 MW Hydel Power Facility

 

Power generated from this facility is sold to Karnataka Power Grid under a Power Purchase Agreement. Generation of power is entirely dependent on monsoon.

 

 

Segment-wise Performance

 

Revenue of the Company

 

The revenue from operations amounted to Rs. 15713.600 Million as against Rs. 1,8448.900 Million in the previous year. Aggregate Export Revenue of all divisions together was Rs. 7610.100 Million as against Rs. 1,0830.400 Million in the previous year.

 

Graphite and Carbon Segment

Production of Graphite Electrodes and Other Miscellaneous Carbon and Graphite Products during the year under review was 66,525 MT against 68,094 MT in the previous year.

 

Production of Calcined Petroleum Coke during the year was 21,668 MT as against 20,709 MT in the previous year.

 

Production of Carbon Paste during the year was 8,408 MT against 7,875 MT in the previous year. Production of Impervious Graphite Equipment (IGE) and spares at 1,114 MT was lower as compared to that of 1,121 MT in the previous year.

 

Power generated from captive Hydel Power Plant of 18 MW capacity amounted to 48.48 million units during the year as against 52.54 million units in the previous year. Multi-fuel generating facilities remained as standby and were not operated due to adequate availability from the grid.

 

The Segment Revenue declined to Rs. 1,3937.300 Million from Rs. 1,7047.700 Million in the previous year. Domestic and Export sales in terms of volume and realization impacted adversely due to severe competition during the year. The profitability of the segment decreased from Rs. 2940.200 Million to Rs. 1424.600 Million due to steep reduction in price of Graphite Electrodes coupled with decrease in volume inspite of various cost saving initiatives taken by the Company. Weak Euro also impacted realization.

 

Steel Segment

 

Production of HSS and Alloy Steels was 1,554 MT during the year as against 1,454 MT in the previous year Other Segments The GRP Division produced 10,350 MT as against 9,630 MT in the previous year.

Sale of power from 1.5 MW Link Canal facility was 3.900 million units as against 3.140 million units in the previous year.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The IMF in their April, 2015 report estimated global growth at 3.5 per cent in 2015 and 3.8 per cent in 2016 with widely varying prospects across the major countries and regions. Growth in emerging market economies has been projected to be weaker due to lower commodity and oil price while growth prospects for advance economies is improving owing to the rise in the disposable income from lower oil prices, continuous support from facilitative monetary policy stands and more moderate fiscal adjustments. The decline in oil prices could boost activity to more than expected levels.

 

Indian economy will outgrow China and its BRICS peers with a GDP growth of 7.5 per cent as per the IMF report. The oil price fall will benefit Indian economy. The Government initiatives for infrastructure development should give boost to the demand including steel demand. With the implementation of smart city project, demand of steel is likely to grow further.

 

Though steel sector is going through a recessionary phase due to lower demand and higher imports, the steel demand is expected to grow in future.

 

World crude steel production reached 1,662 MT for the year 2014, up by 1.2% compared to 2013. Annual production for Asia was 1,132.3 MT of crude steel in 2014, an increase of 1.4% compared to 2013. India's crude steel production in 2014 is 83.2 MT as against 81.3 MT in 2013, an increase of 2.3% on 2013. The production through EAF route should go up in view of its various advantages, primarily from the point of view of low emission of carbon dioxide. This development augurs well for the growth of Graphite Electrode demand in future years, inspite of reducing specific consumption of electrodes per tonne of steel produced, as a result of improvement in manufacturing technology of steel as well as electrodes.

 

With its competitive cost structure, strong technical product features and a well diversified customer base, the Company has established its presence in the global Graphite Electrode industry as a potential global player and this has significantly enabled the Company to penetrate aggressively, the growing market for large diameter UHP Graphite Electrodes.

 

It is expected that the domestic demand for steel and as a corollary for Graphite Electrodes may increase marginally. Faced with unfavourable business conditions, the global players have turned to the Asian markets and are following an aggressive pricing policy to capture volumes. This is likely to affect the Company's domestic volumes as also the profit margins.
