Future Plans

Your company is an established player in the sugar industry and has been showing consistent profits despite overall dismal performance of the industry in the last few years. The management is taking keen initiatives in bringing the technology and performance of the unit at par with the big players in the industry. As briefed by the management in previous reports that it has proposed to set up a 25MW capacity cogeneration power plant apart from expansion and modernization of existing sugar plant. As a part of the Concurrent modernization and expansion plan of the sugar plant, the company has invested an amount of Rs. 5.27 Cr. from its internal accruals for increasing the installed capacity of the unit to 3000 TCD from the existing 2500 TCD during the financial year under review which shall be further increased to 5500 TCD before the start of sugar season 2014 in a phased manner thus stabilizing operations to 229 TCH from existing 125 TCH. The company is also at the final stages of entering into an implementation agreement (IA) with Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency (HAREDA) for setting up the Grid Connected Industrial Bio mass/Bagasse Cogeneration Power project. The power project is on implementation stage and is likely to be commissioned before the start of sugar season 2014 in integration with sugar mill expansion / modernization plans of the company.

The company has designed and initiated the installation of modification scheme for achieving steam and power economy. The design philosophy will be able to generate optimum levels of power from high pressure steam, supply steam and power requirements of the sugar complex and auxiliaries and export optimum level of power to HSEB''s substation. The cogeneration project has several advantages in terms of availability of required space, suitability from topographical and geological considerations, availability of rail/road networks, sugar availability, water availability and nearest grid connectivity for operating the project.

The alone integrated project shall not only improve the quality of sugar for meeting the national and international standards while operating at optimum levels, but also reduce the manufacturing costs apart from providing raw material for cogen power plant in the form of Bagasse. Implementation of cogen power plant concurrently with sugar expansion/modernization project along with other by-products right from beginning goes a long way to integrate the operations and improve sustainability and shall mitigate the risk of fluctuation in international market prices to some extent.

In view of the above your Board expects much better performance in the years to come. DIVIDEND

Future Plans

Your company is an established player in the sugar industry and has been achieving profits despite overall poor performance of the industry in last 3-4 years. The management is taking keen interest in upgrading the technology and performance of the sugar manufacturing unit. Presently, the sugar mill has an installed capacity of 4000 TCD at its plant. However, the Company has not been able to achieve desired utilization levels on account of various technical limitations in its manufacturing process. Such limitations have affected the company's operational efficiency and created a dent on its profitability.

Looking at the potential of the plant and the uptrend in the sugar industry, the company has targeted to optimize its current capacities from current utilization levels of approx. 62% to 90%. For the purpose, the company has undertaken an in house feasibility with the help of newly recruited, highly competent technical professionals and now envisages implementing a Modernization cum Debottlenecking Scheme involving a capital outlay of Rs. 4000 lacs. The said enhancement will improve the profitability quite substantially to more than double of existing profits as it will not have additional fixed cost.

In addition to this, a separate refinery section will be set up to process raw sugar which will be imported from other countries. The processing of raw sugar will be done in off-season when sugarcane is not readily available and most of the sugar factories are shut down. The sugar so processed shall be much better in quality as compared to the sugar produced after crushing of sugarcane. The company intends to eliminate the old mechanical system and substitute the same with power saving equipments thereby reducing the power consumption to 80% of the present consumption. This will increase the viability of the project and will also increase the Sugar recovery rate from 0.5% to 0.9%.

In view of the above, your Board is expecting much better performance in the current year.

Cane Crushing

The comparative figures of Cane crushed during the current and last financial year is given hereunder:-



Particulars Sugar Season (2009-10) Sugar Season (2008-09) 24.11.2009 to 03.04.2010 12.11.2008 to 14.03.2009

CaneCrushed(Qtls) 2530195.12 2729223

Recovery(%) 9.25 9.l8

Production(Qtls) 235500 252430

The company has been able to achieve much better results despite the fact that sugarcane crushing has been low by 199028 qtls as compared to the last financial year. This is mainly because of the following factors:

(a) Lot of emphasis was given on higher sugar recovery due to insufficient and inconsistent availability of sugarcane. While most of the neighboring sugar factories were not able to achieve their last year pattern, we have been able to increase our sugar recovery substantially.

(b) Lot of emphasis was laid on improving the quality of sugar. The quality of sugar produced was much better than the production of previous year. The quality has been appreciated by the dealers/actual users who have started considering our sugar at par with the best being produced in the region.

(c) We started crushing season from 24th November, 2009 while other sugar manufacturing concerns started production in the first week of December, 2009. Similarly, our production continued till 03rd April, 2010 as compared to other factories which ended their season in second week of March, 2010, because of which we could get more number of working days.

(d) Though the availability of sugarcane was quiet low, however good market prices with better marketing strategies helped us a lot in improving the profitability.

During the year company had paid higher cane price to our cane growers which is approximately Rs 270/-per quintal as compared to previous year Rs. 180/-per quintal which has affected our profitability adversely.

Future Plans

Your management is taking keen interest in upgrading the technology and performance of the sugar manufacturing unit. Presently, the sugar mill has an installed capacity of 4000 TCD at its plant. However, the Company has not been able to achieve desired utilization levels on account of various technical limitations in its manufacturing process. Such limitations have affected the companys operational efficiency and created a dent on its profitability. Therefore, the Companys management in conformance with its technical team has decided to overcome such inefficiencies by de-bottlenecking its manufacturing process through modernization of its key plant fit machinery in various stages of manufacturing process. The proposed investment in modernization of plant fit machinery and optimization of production process coupled with intensive cane development program will result in significant improvements. It will improve the capacity utilization from average 67% to 95% of installed capacity besides bringing a significant improvement in the yield, thereby, providing a one third production increase without substantial investment. The said enhancement will improve the profitability quite substantially to more than double of existing profits as it will not have any additional fixed cost.

Further, with the introduction of new technology, steam consumption shall be reduced from 52% to 40%. Besides this various power saving equipments shall be implemented to obtain optimum utilization of resources. The company has targeted to optimize its capacity to 4000 TCD with 95% efficiencies. For the purpose, the company has done an in house feasibility with the help of newly recruited, highly competent technical professionals and now envisages implementing a Modernization cum Debottlenecking Scheme. In addition to this, a separate refinery section will be set up to process raw sugar which will be imported from other countries. The processing of raw sugar will be done in off-season when sugarcane is not readily available and most of the sugar factories are shut down. The sugar so processed shall be much better in quality as compared to the sugar produced after crushing of sugarcane. The company intends to eliminate the old mechanical system and substitute the same with power saving equipments thereby reduced the power , consumption to 80% of the present consumption. This will increase the viability of the project and will also increase the Sugar recovery rate from 0.5% to 0.9%.
