Industrial Packaging<br />

The division manufactures range of 165, 200 & 210 litre capacity mild steel drums and barrels and is the largest manufacturer of<br />

steel barrels. These containers are used for packaging, transport and storage. It has six manufacturing plants across the country. The<br />

customers include manufacturers of lubricating oil & greases, transformer oil, agrochemicals, fine chemicals, paint, food products, chemicals<br />

and bitumen. During FY ’12, the division achieved highest volume & value of sales ever, and increased its market share, while maintaining<br />

its lead position.<br />

However, the segment suffers from surplus capacity leading to depressed prices. Tender based supplies result in to wafer thin margins.<br />

The products also face competition from alternate products like plastic drums and intermediate bulk containers. Another factor causing<br />

concern is the steady escalation in input costs, especially steel and paint, which have cut in to the margins in the past. Sluggish demand from<br />

lubricant industry, which is single largest customer segment, is also impacting the division. Also, GOI’s proposal to reserve the purchase of<br />

steel drums and barrels by all government institutions and PSUs from MSME sector will restrict market available to the division. It is trying<br />

to establish long term contracts with private sector customers as a preferred supplier. Prices of <strong>Co</strong>ld rolled sheet, the main input, although<br />

higher than previous year were stable during FY ’12.<br />

Indicative trends point to a slower growth in FY ’13, which can be partly due to slower economic growth. The division undertook<br />

equipment upgradation during FY ’12, which can have positive impact since production capacity has been further augmented.<br />

Greases & Lubricants<br />

The business of the division can be broadly divided into Processing Business & Direct Sales. The direct sale segment may be categorized<br />

into Industrial/ Institutional sales, Retail sales and Export. In the Institutional sales category, the major customers are Railways,<br />

Defense, Steel, Jute, <strong>Co</strong>al and Sponge Iron sectors. The processing business during FY ’12 has been down by around 12% compared to the<br />

previous year, largely because the PSU Oil <strong>Co</strong>mpanies, who were traditionally using the <strong>Co</strong>mpany’s grease manufacturing facility, have begun<br />

switching to their own facility.<br />

During FY ’12 the division maintained volume of its direct sales business. Sales volume under the ‘<strong>Balmer</strong>ol’ brand was marginally<br />

higher in FY ’12 over the previous year. Severe price competition from the major players ( cross subsidization by some oil majors) and<br />

sharp rise in the cost of base oil & additives impacted the all-round performance of the division. However, it reported highest turnover with<br />

16% growth y-o-y. In Retail sector it posted a volume growth of 4%. <strong>Co</strong>mpany is laying additional thrust on this sector through promotional<br />

campaigns etc.<br />

The <strong>Co</strong>mpany operates as a specialist Indian lubrication company. The lubricant industry has become extremely competitive due<br />

to the dominant market position of the PSU Oil <strong>Co</strong>mpanies and the MNCs especially in the automobile / retail lubricating oil segments, on<br />

account of their brand value and reach.<br />

The automotive lubricant market is highly price sensitive and volume growth is slow due to longer drain intervals of lubricants in<br />

view of upgraded version of engines in 4-wheeler & 2-wheeler segments. High interest rate and slow growth in economy has affected sale of<br />

vehicles which in turn have affected automotive lubricant industry. The continuous rise in base oil price has also impacted the industry. In<br />

fact, over the last one year, the base oil price has shot up by 20% and the increasing trend continues. Despite the challenges, the long-term<br />

outlook for the industry appears to be quite good because of vehicles growth in the economy. In the Industrial lubricating oils & grease<br />

segment, the <strong>Co</strong>mpany has emerged as a significant player and this would, therefore, continue to be a focus area for the <strong>Co</strong>mpany.<br />

Opportunities also exist in the area of development of ecofriendly biodegradable lubricants as also high-end innovative products<br />

using <strong>Co</strong>mpany’s R & D capabilities. Using its own in-house R&D Centre, the <strong>Co</strong>mpany has launched a number of specialty lubricants like<br />

rolling oils, expander oils, fire resistant hydraulic fluids, synthetic mould oils, specialty greases, etc. which find application in critical areas of<br />

the industry. Import substitution is also a strength area for the <strong>Co</strong>mpany.<br />

Logistics<br />

The total market size of the Logistics industry in India is estimated at US$ 90 – $100 billion. Logistics industry includes transportation,<br />

warehousing, freight forwarding and value added services. The division operates in the freight forwarding and value added services,<br />

which account for about 13% of the total industry revenue.<br />

82% of freight forwarding business is estimated to be conducted through Ocean and only 18% through air. This opens a wide business<br />

avenue for the division in the Ocean sector. As the strength of the division lies essentially in interfacing with Government departments and<br />

in providing logistics solutions to PSUs, it is increasingly focusing on catering to the ocean import requirements. Enhanced focus on Ocean<br />

export has also yielded positive results, doubling the Ocean export business. The <strong>Co</strong>mpany also sees vast opportunity in entering into the<br />

private sector.<br />

The division offers a comprehensive array of services including import consolidation by Air and Ocean, customs clearance at various<br />

air and sea ports, handling of projects cargo through multi-modal transportation, chartering of aircrafts and vessels besides providing express<br />

services. Air cargo handling and allied support services such as customs clearance and chartering continue to be the core revenue generator<br />

for the division. The overall growth in turnover/profit of the division from air freight and support services in FY ’12 was around 15%.<br />

The business has become extremely competitive largely because of low entry barriers in this industry. The Logistics industry<br />

continues to be highly fragmented despite frequent mergers and acquisitions taking place. Similarly, backward integration by the shipping<br />

lines have now brought them into direct competition for handling of Ocean cargo.<br />

Logistics Infrastructure (LI)<br />

The Logistics container market consists of three segments viz., <strong>Co</strong>ntainer Freight Station [CFS], Inland <strong>Co</strong>ntainer Depot [ICD] and<br />

Warehousing & Distribution [W&D]. The division currently operates three state-of-the-art CFSs located at Nava Sheva-Navi Mumbai,<br />

Chennai and Kolkata. These ports account for nearly 82% of the total containerized traffic at the major Indian ports. The SBU operates its<br />

W&D facility at Kolkata and <strong>Co</strong>imbatore.<br />

Ports in India handle approximately 70% of the EXIM trade by value and 82% by volume. <strong>Co</strong>nsidering the low level of containerized<br />

traffic at major ports, there is ample scope for increase in volumes. India is witnessing major infrastructural development including<br />

development of new ports. However, rapid increase in CFSs and ICDs have led to creation of overcapacity in the industry. Uncertainty in<br />

global economic environment and weak local currency can impact EXIM trade in the current year.<br />

This division alongwith logistics division is the main profit earner for the <strong>Co</strong>mpany. It operates at nearly 100% capacity against<br />

average capacity utilization of 60% for CFSs in India. During the year the SBU has embarked on major capacity expansion at all the existing<br />

three locations. LI recorded significant volume growth in FY ’12 over previous year, 94% of which was related to import trade. The competition<br />

in the industry has been aggravated by the increased entry of shipping lines in setting up their CFSs. Over-capacity in the industry, rising<br />

fuel cost and pricing pressure have lead to volatility in the flow of revenue. W & D activity has started focusing on retail & consumer durable<br />

sectors apart from bulk metal which has enabled it to report nominal profit.<br />

Tours & Travel (T & T)<br />

The business of the division comprises three segments viz., Domestic travel, International travel and Tours. T&T is one of the largest<br />

travel agencies in the country affiliated to the International Air Transport Association [IATA]. T&T is primarily dependent on the<br />

Aviation sector. The Indian aviation market is growing at a much faster pace than the global average – about 12% domestically and 8-9%<br />

internationally. However, of late, Aviation sector is facing major crises. The sector as a whole is not generating sustainable revenues, which<br />

one would associate with a large high-growth market. Nearly all domestic airlines on an annualized basis, have reported huge losses.<br />

The major clients of the <strong>Co</strong>mpany are Government Departments and PSUs. Austerity measures introduced by government have<br />

depressed the overall sales to a large extent. Inspite of problems faced by airlines, silverline for the division is the fact that despite a<br />

slowdown in economic growth, International and Domestic Tourism has continued to show growth. It also expects to have excellent volume<br />

of business from Online Travel Portal which is being set up. The presence of an extensive network of offices providing comprehensive services<br />

and PSU status of the <strong>Co</strong>mpany, are contributing to the strengthening of the volumes and the top-line.<br />

Despite abysmally low commissions and in case of some airlines, zero commission, competition in the travel & tours market is<br />

becoming progressively more intense with small operators offering deep discounts to customers. Another major concern area for the division<br />

is the deep financial problems faced by airlines. Large outstandings from various government departments increase the working capital<br />

requirements. Reduced seat capacity following problems faced by some airlines might slow down the growth in domestic travel.<br />

Performance Chemicals<br />

India’s export of Leather & Leather articles stood at US$ 4.5 billion in the FY ’12. India ranks as the fourth largest exporter of leather<br />

goods / garments. Focusing on footwear - accounts for 60% leather goods export in the world - India is the second largest manufacturer<br />

of footwear in the world albeit much lower than China which produces about 16% of the global output.<br />

Leather chemicals industry in India is dominated by MNCs, which hold 40% market share in ` 1500 Crs. market, which is growing<br />

consistently in tandem with increase in volumes of leather processing. However, market is fragmented and there is overcapacity resulting<br />

in to fierce competition. BLCL, has been able to retain its market share and increase its reach in to overseas market with product development<br />

skills. Prices of Paraffin Wax and other petroleum products – key raw materials - saw consistent increase in FY ’12, resulting in pressure<br />

on margins, as increased cost could not be passed on due to competition. The division plans to enter construction chemicals market having<br />

market size of ` 3000 Crs.<br />

Tea<br />

Division is engaged in blending and packaging of tea. India’s tea production during 2011 was about 988 million Kg up by about 23<br />

million Kg from the previous year mainly due to favourable weather conditions & rejuvenation of acreage by planting young tea plants.<br />

The volume of exports also improved from 185 million Kg in 2010 to about 193 million Kg in 2011. Domestic consumption stood at around<br />

856 million Kg and continued to grow at a rate of around 2% annually. Import of tea aggregated 19 million Kg. Strategically, the division is<br />

concentrating more on establishing its own brands through presence in various domestic markets, particularly in tier II & III cities, smaller<br />

towns and rural markets in WB and Jharkhand & has appointed distributors in these states and Maharashtra. It has also entered into a<br />

contract with major tea producer for meeting their blending and packing requirements.<br />

Refinery & Oil Field Services (ROFS)<br />

The Refinery & Oilfield Services portfolio consists of Mechanized Tank Sludge Cleaning & Hydrocarbon Recovery Services and also offers<br />

systems for prevention of vapour loss of petroleum products from storage tanks and other technology driven services. This is a nascent<br />

industry with a very limited number of players. ROFS enjoys market leadership in processing of oily sludge. Further growth opportunity<br />

exists in lagoon sludge cleaning business and this is expected to further intensify with the applicability of stringent pollution norms in the<br />

Oil industry. The market for composite repair is now in its nascent stage, but is expected to pick up with the increased awareness of users.<br />

<strong>Balmer</strong> <strong>Lawrie</strong> (UK) <strong>Ltd</strong>. (BLUK) – 100%<br />

BLUK has exited from its existing businesses and the proceeds are now being utilized in investment in new ventures. Accordingly, it has<br />

invested US $ 1.52 million in a JV called PT. <strong>Balmer</strong> <strong>Lawrie</strong> Indonesia (PTBLI) for 50% stake. PTBLI has commissioned its plant in<br />

Dec. ’11, to manufacture and market greases and other lubricants in Indonesia. Certain areas in the operations need improvement for better<br />

performance.<br />

AVI-OIL India Private <strong>Ltd</strong>. (AVI-OIL) – 25%<br />

The <strong>Co</strong>mpany is engaged in blending lubricating oils, and reprocessing of greases and manufacture of synthetic ester base stocks. It<br />

reported gross revenues of ` 41 Crs. in FY ’12 as compared to ` 37 Crs. in previous year. In FY ’12 company also entered in to several<br />

long term rate contracts with major customers like Min. of Defense and Hindustan Aeronautics <strong>Ltd</strong>. etc. for supply of aviation lubricants.<br />

<strong>Balmer</strong> <strong>Lawrie</strong>-Van Leer <strong>Ltd</strong>. (BLVL) – 40%<br />

BLVL’s revenues went up by 8% in FY ’12 to ` 188.93 Crs. With the commencement of new facility at Dehradun, sales volume of Plastic<br />

<strong>Co</strong>ntainers increased by 9% over the previous year. However, in quantitative terms, sale of steel drum closures was marginally impacted<br />

on account of lower export performance. During FY ’12, profit was significantly lower as against that of previous year. Profitability of plastic<br />

container too faced a set-back due to foreign exchange loss on imports of polymer and reduced production arising from acute power shortage<br />

in the Plastic Division at Chennai. The JV has taken several initiatives to step up efficiency at its manufacturing facilities to bolster performance<br />

in FY ’13.<br />

Transafe Services Limited (TSL) – 50%<br />

During FY ’12, TSL achieved marginally lower turnover of ` 75.53 Crs. and incurred a loss of ` 10.1 Crs. (loss of ` 16.2 Crs. in previous<br />

year). The JV suffered because of lower business in creative container division from oil & gas exploration companies and private rail<br />

operators. For FY ’13, TSL has shifted its focus to the logistics activities in order to step up its profitability. In line with the <strong>Co</strong>rporate Debt<br />

Restructuring (CDR) mechanism approved by the bankers of TSL in Oct. ’10, TSL has repaid to the banks about 2.5% of the total long-term loan<br />

outstanding during FY ‘12.The CDR scheme envisages a ballooning repayment schedule under which ` 10 Crs. representing 6.5% of the loan,<br />

would become repayable by TSL in FY ’13.<br />

As per Auditor’s report, BLCL allowed its JV partner in TSL – ICICI Venture - to exit at a premium and it also arranged for funding<br />

for its exit and identified new JV partner. Investments totaling ` 37 Crs. in TSL by BLCL, is prejudicial to the interests of BLCL as per Auditor’s<br />

report. An accounting fraud was detected in TSL subsequent to BLCL increasing stake to 50% and exit of ICICI Venture. Apart from filing<br />

criminal cases against ex employees of TSL, BLCL has also filed a petition against ICICI venture for appropriate remedies.<br />

<strong>Balmer</strong> <strong>Lawrie</strong> (UAE) LLC (BLUAE) – 49%<br />

JV with HH Sheikh Hasher Maktoum of Dubai, BLUAE is engaged in manufacture of wide range of packaging media including steel<br />

A drums & kegs, plastic containers, tin cans etc. with plant located at Dubai. BLUAE achieved satisfactory performance in calendar 2011,<br />

but continued to face the effects of the recessionary conditions all around the world, difficult local market conditions, intense competition in<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mpany has only one wholly owned subsidiary – BLUK. Rest of the businesses outside <strong>Co</strong>mpany are held in JVs. <strong>Co</strong>mpany’s share<br />

of revenues in subsidiary and JVs amounted to ` 387 Crs. in FY ’12, about 17% of standalone revenues. Net profit contribution from<br />

subsidiary and JVs is still lower at ` 3.57 Crs. – 2.1% of standalone net profit.<br />

Although Logistics Infra and services form only 20% of standalone revenues, they contribute ~ 60% of EBIT. The next biggest<br />

contributor to profits is Industrial packaging with 20% revenue share & 17% share in EBIT. Operating margins are better for June ’12 quarter<br />

(7.77%) as compared to FY ’12 (6.88%) , however, net margin was impacted by high tax provision inspite of higher other income.<br />

Performance of most of the divisions of the <strong>Co</strong>mpany has high correlation with growth in economy and should improve with higher<br />
