INTRODUCTION
GLOBAL BASE CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES HISTORY
Chemical industries can be traced back to Middle Eastern artisans, who refined alkali
and limestone for the production of glass as early as 7,000 BC, to the Phoenicians who
produced soap in the 6th cent. BC, and to the Chinese who developed black powder, a
primitive explosive around the 10th cent. AD In the Middle Ages, alchemists produced small
amounts of chemicals and by 1635 the Pilgrims in Massachusetts were producing saltpeter
for gunpowder and chemicals for tanning. But, large-scale chemical industries first developed
in 19th cent. In 1823, British entrepreneur James Muspratt started mass producing soda ash
(needed for soap and glass) using a process developed by Nicolas Leblanc in 1790. Advances
in organic chemistry in the last half of the 19th cent. allowed companies to produce synthetic
dyes from coal tar for the textile industry as early as the 1850s.
In the 1890s, German companies began mass producing sulfuric acid and, at about the
same time, chemical companies began using the electrolytic method, which required large
amounts of electricity and salt, to create caustic soda and chlorine. Man-made fibers changed
the textile industry when rayon (made from wood fibers) was introduced in 1914; the
introduction of synthetic fertilizers by the American Cyanamid Company in 1909 led to a
green revolution in agriculture that dramatically improved crop yields. Advances in the
manufacture of plastics led to the invention of celluloid in 1869 and the creation of such
products as nylon by Du Pont in 1928. Research in organic chemistry in the 1910s allowed
companies in the 1920s and 30s to begin producing chemicals for oil. Today, petrochemicals
made from oil are the industry's largest sector. Synthetic rubber came into existence during
World War II, when the war cut off supplies of rubber from Asia.
Since the 1950s growing concern about toxic waste produced by chemical industries
has led to increased government regulation and the establishment of the Environmental
Protection Agency (1972). The leakage of toxic chemicals at the Union Carbide plant in
Bhopal , India (1984), was the worst industrial disaster in history and heightened public
concern about lax environmental regulations for chemical companies in developing countries.
Beginning in the 1980s, U.S. corporations faced expanding competition from foreign
-7-
producers, including some Third World oil producers who have set up their own oil refining
and petrochemical industries. In 1997 the U.S. chemical industry produced about $389 billion
worth of products and employed 1,032,000 workers. It exported about $71 billion worth of
chemicals.

Overview
Growing at an average rate of 12.5%, the Indian chemical industry offers a
wide spectrum of opportunities for the investors both from India and the world. The
significant market potential, coupled with the existing pool of human resources, and
the comprehensive variety of resources in the country make its profitable destination
in the new millennium. In the world production of chemicals, Indian industry stands at
12th position. Major segments of Indian chemical industry include -
-9-
the world level, India stands 9th in terms of polymer consumption and is expected to
be the 3rd largest consumer of polymers after USA and China by 2010. To meet the
growing domestic requirement, 9 global size ethylene crackers of 700 kt each would
need to be set up by 20112012, over and above the present capacity of 2.4 million
tons.
Dyes
The Indian dye industry is valued at around US$ 3 billion, with exports of
about US$ 1 billion. The per capita consumption is very low (50 gms) as compared to
average global consumption (400gms). The industry is highly fragmented with 50
players in organized sector and 900 in unorganized sector. (400 gms). The industry
has undergone tremendous over the years, starting as an intermediate manufacturing
industry to a full fledged industry with huge export potential. At present, India's share
of the dye output globally stands at 5%, with a manufacturing capacity of 1,50,000
tons per annum.
Specialty chemicals
Specialty chemicals comprise fine chemicals and performance chemicals. The
Indian fine chemical industry is in a growth phase with an estimated worth of US$
700 million. The industry primarily caters to the pharmaceutical industry. The Indian
specialty chemicals industry is valued at an approximated worth of US$ 3 billion.
Inorganic Chemicals
Characterized by high degree of fragmentation even across high volume
product areas, Indian inorganic chemicals industry account for less than 4.5 % of
global market. The sector comprises of production of chemicals, such as sulphuric
acid, phosphoric acid, titanium dioxide, carbon black and chloralkali industry, which
forms a major part of inorganic sector.
- 10 -
diverse range of products can be broken down into several categories, which include
inorganic and organic (commodity) chemicals, plastics and petrochemicals, drugs and
pharmaceuticals, dyes and pigments, pesticides and agrochemicals, fine and specialty
chemicals, and fertilizers.With primary focus on modernization, the Govt. of India has taken
an active role in promoting the growth and development of Indian domestic chemical
industry.
Chemical Industry in India is fragmented and dispersed - multi product and multi
faceted.
Foreign Trade :India was a net importer of chemicals in early 1990s , but has now become a net
exporter due to reduction in Imports because of implementation of many large scale
petrochemical plants like Reliance etc. and also because of tremendous growth of exports in
sectors like bulk drugs and pharma, pesticides, dyes and intermediates.
Exports by the basic chemical sector in 1995-96 surpassed the target of Rs 6,742 crore
by reaching a figure of Rs 7,979.30 crore and showing a massive growth of 24% over the
preceding year's figure of Rs 6,403.90 crore. During 1994-95 exports totaled Rs 6,403.90
crore against the target of Rs 5,504.60 crore, while in the preceding year shipments reached
Rs 4,904.40 crore against the target of Rs 4,584.00 crore. The drugs and pharmaceuticals and
the organic/inorganic/agro-chemicals contributed as much as 63% of total exports. This has
been a herculean task, which has been achieved by competing with big multinational
corporations of the world. Turnover for the year ended 1998-99 is close to Rs.15,000 crores.
The chemical industry comprises the companies that produce industrial chemicals. It
is central to modern world economy, converting raw materials (oil, natural gas, air, water,
metals, minerals) into more than 70,000 different products. Polymers and plastics, especially
- 11 -
Polyethylene
terephthalate (aka PET, PETE or the obsolete PETP or PET-P) is a thermoplastic polymer
resin of the polyester family and is used in synthetic fibers; beverage, food and other liquid
containers; thermoforming applications; and engineering resins often in combination with
glass fiber. ... Polystyrene (IPA: ) is a polymer made from the monomer styrene, a liquid
hydrocarbon that is commercially manufactured from petroleum by the chemical industry. ...
Polycarbonates are a particular group of thermoplastic polyesters. ...
In the U.S. there are 170 major chemical companies. They operate internationally
with more than 2,800 facilities outside the U.S. and 1,700 foreign subsidiaries or affiliates
operating. The U.S. chemical output is $400 billion a year. The U.S. industry records large
trade surpluses and employs more than a million people in the United States alone. The
chemical industry is also the second largest consumer of energy in manufacturing and spends
over $5 billion annually on pollution abatement.
In Europe, especially Germany, the chemical, plastics and rubber sectors are among
the largest industrial sectors. Together they generate about 3.2 million jobs in more than
60,000 companies. Since 2000 the chemical sector alone has represented 2/3 of the entire
manufacturing trade surplus of the EU. The chemical sector accounts for 12% of the EU
manufacturing industry's added value.
- 12 -
The chemical industry has shown rapid growth for more than fifty years. The fastest
growing areas have been in the manufacture of synthetic organic polymers used as plastics,
fibres and elastomers. Historically and presently the chemical industry has been concentrated
in three areas of the world, Western Europe, North America and Japan (the Triad). The
European Community remains the largest producer area followed by the USA and Japan.
The traditional dominance of chemical production by the Triad countries is being
challenged by changes in feedstock availability and price, labour cost, energy cost,
differential rates of economic growth and environmental pressures. Instrumental in the
changing structure of the global chemical industry has been the growth in China, India,
Korea, the Middle East, South East Asia, Nigeria, Trinidad, Thailand, Brazil, Venezuela, and
Indonesia.
- 13 -
Due to its low cost infrastructure, the country has huge export potential.
According to a recent report, India's chemical exports have the potential to rise
- 14 -
The country has the capacity for high value addition being close to Middle
East. This is a cheap and ample source for petrochemical feedstock.
In some categories of chemicals, India does have the advantage for exports
(dyes, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals) by establishing strategic alliances
with countries like Russia. With the expertise and know-how available in the
country, there is a tremendous export potential in dyestuff and agrochemical
market.
Availability and abundance of raw materials for titanium dioxide and agrobased products, such as castor oil provide an opportunity to yield significant
value addition. This, however, would require substituting their exports in raw
form by producing high value derivatives.
The major challenges are pursuit for feedstock and knowledge management.
The naphtha-based crackers that have been providing feedstock to the industry
traditionally, have now been replaced by new gas-based crackers. Along with
China, India pose a stiff competition to the Middle East due to the vibrant
exports and huge unexplored reserves of oil and gas. The Govt. of India is
acting as a facilitator by establishing LNG terminals and acquiring equity
interests in overseas proven oil reserves. This will fuel the fast growth in
chemical industry. The govt. is also engaged in the development and
formulation of a National Policy on Pharmaceuticals and mega-industrial
chemical estates.

SWOT ANALYSIS
Strength
IGL is uniquely positioned as a petrochemical manufacturer through the
organic route, and is probably the largest player in the world in its segment. Though
the gross block of the company is Rs9.7bn, its replacement cost is estimated to be
~Rs32bn. This along with technological know how, would act as a strong barrier for
entry, thereby offering competitive safety for the company.
Weakness
IGLs margins could face pressure if MEG prices continue to fall vis-a-vis
hikes in prices of molasses and ethanol. While IGL is integrating backwards to reduce
the price volatility in its raw materials, the same cannot be eliminated and hence
would continue to dog the operations of the company. Newer capacity expansion
being undertaken in the M. East (Saudi Arabia & Iran) has the potential to lower the
landed cost of imported MEG in India and to impact realisations.
Currently,
POY/PSF industry accounts for ~70% of MEG consumption in India and ~35% of
IGLs revenues. This imparts high sensitivity to an industry and any slowdown in that
sector has the potential to impact IGLs earnings.
- 18 -
Opportunities
IGL has flexibility in using ethanol or molasses as its feedstock for MEG/EO
manufacturing, which can help optimise its raw material cost. By setting up cogeneration plants, IGL will be able to lower its power costs (12% of net sales in
FY08) to 8% of net sales in FY10. Expansions in the polyester industry (Indo Rama,
JBF, Reliance and Garden Mills) will ensure offtake of IGLs incremental capacity.
IGL is diversifying its revenue stream through venturing into Nutraceuticals, CO2 and
Real Estate, which are expected to account for ~10% of revenues by FY10.
Threats
MEG capacity expansion in M. East may dampen IGLs offtake. Additional
capacitiesmay impact global prices which will impose margin pressure. Also, any
changes in custom duties on MEG (7.5%) and swing in Rs/USD rates have the
potential to dampen realisations and margins. Currently the Reliance group, which is
the largest domestic manufacturer of MEG, consumes majority of its production inhouse. Any sharp scale up in its merchant sales can upset the business prospects of
IGL. After Shakumbari expansion, there would be another factor influencing the
costing structure of IGL namely sugarcane. We have drawn our estimates on cane
prices of Rs 125/qntl. Thus, any unfavourable change in the pricing or availability of
cane can substantially impair the earnings of the company . IGL is undertaking capex
of Rs4.9bn over the next 2 years. There is also a shutdown of 25-35 days envisaged at
its MEG facility. Any derailment or delay of the same could impact its earnings
substantially. Exports constitute ~14% of its revenues and any adverse movement in
exchange rate can depress margins.
- 19 -
IGL is also setting up co-generation power plant in Shakumbari and Kashipur that will
reduce the power cost to <Rs 1perunit. Thus, we estimated power and Fuel cost as a %
of net sales to ease to ~8% in FY10 from 12% in FY08. Besides reducing the cost,
IGL is also focusing on high margin EO derivative business where prices are more
stable and competition minimal. We estimate this business to register a CAGR of 19%
from FY08-10 and attain a size of Rs8.5bn by FY10. The revenue flow from other
streams i.e. Nutraceuticals, CO2 plant, property lease and sugar will also help
augment by FY10. With inclusion of guar gum powder and industrial gases, revenues
from other streams will be ~10% of total revenues by FY10 (v/s 3% in FY08). In
FY10, we estimate net revenues of Rs17bn (CAGR 13% from FY08-10), OPM of
27% (+200bps from FY08) and net profits of Rs2.9bn (v/s Rs1.8bn inFY08).

synchronization of UPCL with captive power grid, resulting in the reduction of highcost RFO consumption in DG sets. Additionally, a new bagasse-fired boiler has been
commissioned in the RAB unit for steam generation from bagasse in place of coal,
and TG 12-MW steam turbine has been commissioned for reducing RFO consumption
in DG sets.
Energy conservation measures have also been taken at the distillery plant,
such as use of alcohol scrubbers in distillery fermentation and distillation section for
increased alcohol recovery and reduction in steam requirement,
The Company is also implementing measures for reducing the consumption
of energy such as installation of extraction / back pressure steam turbine with capacity
of 8.64 MW; MEG return condensate for Rab boiler de- aerator - resulting in

to stand at 20%
The market for EODs continues to show strong traction. The Company is
expected to increase the volume and value contribution from these
products strongly in the future.

The overall result will be subject to realization trends within MEG. The
macro factors in this business appear good-given the strong demand for
polster products. Further the prices of molasses are expected to trend
upward given the decline in cane acreage overall. In the meantime, the
company is strengthening its flexibility in usage of key input sugarcane,
molasses and ethanol. As the largest plater in the molasses/ethanol market
the Company has storage capacities to meet internal requirements for 3-4
months.
India Glycols-Outlook
In fiscal year 2009-10 IGL will see noticeable improvements to revenue and
earnings performance owing to:
Volume upsides on account of the 20% increase in production achieved due
to catalyst change and de-bottlenecking at Chemicals facility at Kashipur.
Strong product line-up in Chemicals-with higher proportion of turnover
from value added, performance chemicals.
Augmented distillery capacities that will result in higher level of captive
sourcing of ethanol thereby benefiting already good performance in
chemicals. Power generation from distillery effluents will ramp-up and
further enhance profitability.
Strong growth prospects are also in the IMFL and Country liquor business,
where the Company has plans to improve the distribution of its range to
other market nationally.
The new business initiatives taken by the company i.e. Nutraceuticals and
the Co2 can also be expected to show better traction in the same period.

The bulls have been waiting in anticipation for some time for the Sensex to
climb over 8000. But the jinx continued as they were thwarted again. The blame was
squarely placed on the governments decision to hike fuel prices. However, the
optimists far outnumber the pessimists at the street and are betting for the index to
take the final few steps before the week is over.
Right chemistry
Prudent Fund has taken a liking to the chemicals stock India Glycols, as
evidenced by its purchases at the counter. The stock has been on a vertical climb in
the past few weeks and has seen a 79 per cent appreciation in the past month alone to
Rs 259.
Apparently, what has caught the attention of Prudent is the fact that molasses
prices has been falling. To make the connection apparent, India Glycols makes monoethylene glycol (MEG), for which it uses molasses as raw material.
According to pundits, molasses prices have fallen by more than 25 per cent in
the last month and a further fall is expected. Also Prudent feels that the stock
valuation at 9x is very low, compared with its growth potential.
Going soft
Those who have been wondering about the reason behind the rise in stock price
of Four Soft got their answers. Close on the heels of many domestic and foreign fund
purchases at the counter, came news that the company has signed an agreement to
acquire the logistics software business of UK-based DCS Transportation for $19
million (over Rs 85 crore) in an all-cash deal. Apparently, this would make Four Soft
the worlds largest transportation and logistics software product company.
The buying at the counter had taken the stock price from Rs 45 levels a month
back to above Rs 100. Phoenix fund was among the many who had bought the stock
in anticipation of the deal. The buyers were quick to book profits too, which led to the
stock tumbling down yesterday.
However, domestic operators who have been late to wake up, were back at the
counter on Tuesday, resulting in a 2.5 per cent rise in stock price.
- 83 -
In other news...
The Amtek India stock has witnessed a sustained rise over the past few months.
The buzz has been that the company could get merged with Amtek Auto. Pundits have
been noting that any such merger is sure to enhance the share value of Amtek India.
However, some are already in the mood to book profits at the counter. Uncle Sam for
example has decided to book profits at the counter at Rs 502 levels. Considering the
fact that the stock has gained more than 90 per cent in the past four months, that seems
to be a wise decision.
India Glycols buys UP sugar firm In a bid to expand backward integration and
get a strategic hold on ethanol costs, the Rs 1,400-crore India Glycols Ltd (IGL), a
leading petrochemicals and specialty chemical player controlled by the Bhartia group,
has acquired a 96.6 per cent stake in UP-based Shakumbari Sugar & Allied Industries
Ltd for Rs 47 crore. India Glycols will invest Rs 180 crore in the acquired company to
enhance its distillery, power generation and crushing capacities, the company said in a
statement on Sunday.Shakumbari Sugar has a crushing capacity of 3,200 tonnes per
day (TCD) along with a modern distillery of 40 kilo-litres per day, which will be
increased to 7000 TCD and 250 kilo-litres per day, respectively.Shakumbari Sugar has
a captive cogeneration power capacity of 8 megawatts, which would be increased to
40-50 MW. The company intends to sell the surplus power after meeting its captive
requirements.
This acquisition is a first step towards attaining a complete backward
integration for the company. This would greatly strengthen our position to enable us to
operate at an optimum capacity required for a robust growth strategy of ours, the

CONCLUSION
To work in India Glycol Ltd. under Commercial department was a wonderful
experience for me as a trainee. That was just like my non salary based job in which I
have learnt a lot. I got the exposure of practical work apart from my learning stage. I
have found real working environment where the employees give their best in the job.
IGL was a first industry in India which produce Ehtlene Oxide and Mono-ethele
glycol as a product and was the largest exporter. In the fiscal year 2009-10 there are a
lots of growth opportunities for generating revenue like company move towards the
100% export orientated unit in by the name of Ennature bio-pharma divisioin for
extraction of dietary food supplement, natural colours healthcare fruits and vegetables,
But due to the establishment of plant in Europe with the same key export product in
minimum cost than the India Glycol Ltd. it become down into the International Level
so govt. should support the company and provide extra facilities to encourage the
export.
I found in IGL every employee got the best facilities related to education of
their wards, sports, medical, transportation and security, these all facilities make
employees to be psychologically relaxed towards their family and loyal towards the
organization.
