Similarly, for consumers like fuel companies and chemical manufacturers, alcohol does not have any viable alternative currently. Science and technology inventions do provide a scope but the same also holds true for current technological advancements and Research & Development efforts towards mitigating such risks. 5. The extent to which material increases in net sales or revenue are due to increased sales volume, introduction of new products or services or increased sales prices: • Yes, the major contributor to increases in net sales or revenue are sales volumes due to basic increase in consumption patterns socially, increase in per capita consumptions year upon year and increased sales prices primarily due to increases in the duties payable to the government as well as increase in cost of input. • However, another contributor to increased net sales or revenue is the constant effort on cost reduction with the help of technological input in the system and economies of scale, which become better year upon year. 6. Total Turnover for the Industry Please refer to the discussions in the section titled “Industry Overview” beginning on page no. 64 of this Red Herring Prospectus. 7. The extent to which the business is seasonal: The business is not seasonal as the demand and consumption is prevalent throughout the year. 8. Any significant dependence on a single or few suppliers or customers: Though the agri raw materials being used by the industry are seasonal in nature, the production, consumption and storage norms that have evolved over a period of time are such that this is not a risk. Further, there is virtually no dependence on any particular supplier or group of suppliers or customers. 9. Competitive conditions: The competitive conditions are like that of any FMCG product. However, in this industry, securing the use of basic raw material like molasses is an issue, which for stand-alone distilleries requires special efforts. This has been mitigated by ensuring large storage capacities and the ability to process multiple raw materials like grain etc. in the event of a storage / high price of molasses. 10. Competitive position of the company within Indian market and overseas with reference to market share, major competitors and new capacity coming up: There is no impact on the position of the company as far as overseas products and companies are concerned due to completely different market segment that is being addressed by the Company. However, domestically the Company’s competitive position can be impacted with new capacities and competitor activities. This is mitigated by the fact that the pace of capacity addition is similar to that of overall growth of the market. Further, constant improvement efforts in terms of quality and costs of production, the Company’s competing market strategies and its current product / brand franchise in the segments the Company is present in acts as a mitigant. 197
