CHAIRMAN(cid:146)S STATEMENT

To the Members,

Your Company, since it went public, has consistently shown growth in all key areas namely gross block, products, range
of production, turnover, profitability, etc. Though the Company continued to maintain its lead in the polyester industry,
for  reasons enumerated in the Directors(cid:146) Report, the gross profit did not move up and amounted to Rs. 129.39 crores
against Rs. 133.25 crores in the previous year against a tur nover which rose by 23.3% i.e. in absolute terms Rs. 904
crores against Rs. 733 Crores in the previous year.

We hope the Government would take measures to reverse the adverse conditions affecting this industry.

CONTRIBUTION TO EXCHEQUER:

You will be pleased to note that your Company(cid:146)s contribution to the exchequer, rose in line with its tur nover. It paid to
the National Exchequer over Rs. 460 crores compared to Rs. 380 crores in 1985, an increase of 21% over the previous
year(cid:146)s  contribution.

NET WORTH:

The Company(cid:146)s equity capital stood at Rs. 51.61 crores and the shareholders -reserves and surplus stood at Rs. 254.12
crores by the end of 1986. On conversion of (cid:145)G(cid:146) series debentures, the equity capital will rise by Rs. 69 crores and the
Share Premium Account by Rs. 431 crores. The net worth of Rs. 311.53 crores at the end of 1986 will rise to Rs.
811.53 crores upon conversion of Debenture Series (cid:145)G(cid:146) (excluding 1987 profits) a spectacular jump of over 260%.

GROSS BLOCK:

The Company added during the year to its fixed assets Rs. 402 crores taking the gross block to Rs. 1138 crores from
the previous year(cid:146)s Gross Block of Rs. 736 crores, an impressive rise of 55 per cent The depreciation fund amounted
to  Rs.  188  crores  against  Rs.  129  crores  at  the  end  of  the  previous  year.  The  debt:  equity  ratio  on  conversion  of
Debenture Series (cid:145)G(cid:146) will be at 0.67:1. The Con my will have further borrowing power of Rs. 1100 Rs. 1200 crores
within the present debt: equity norms to take on hand further expansion and diversification plans.

SHOW CAUSE NOTICE FROM CUSTOMS AUTHORITIES:

After  the  close  of  the  accounting  year  1986,  the  Company  received  a  Show  Cause  Notice  under  the  Customs  Act
1962, alleging basically that additional machines/lines have been found imported and installed.

The Company in its interim reply dated 25th February, 1987, pointed out that the contract for import of equipment or
expansion of plant capacity, proforma invoices in respect thereof and the concerned licence clearly indicated that what
was purchased, imported and installed by the Company did not violate any regulations.

The allegation in the Show Cause Notice of alleged misdeclaration of more than twice the declared capacity at Patalganga
and of the alleged unauthorised importation of spinning, machines and the consequential notice to show cause why a
claim should not be made on the Company for alleged differential duty/penalty of Rs. 119 crores was ex -facie unfounded.
The Company has also asked the Authorities to give inspection of the documents referred to in the Notice and to give
certain particulars of the allegations. These are still awaited from the Authorities.

According to the Company and as advised after due consideration, the Company is certain that it will not be faced with
any liability in respect of the Show Cause which is unfounded and legally untenable.

These are brought to the notice of the members as a matter of information.

CURRENT YEAR OPERATIONS:

Operations of the current year of your Company are quite encouraging. It has achieved higher production. higher sales and
better realisation. The turnover for the first quarter of 1987 has touched Rs. 270 crores as against Rs. 210 crores for the
corresponding period of 1986 indicating an impressive growth of over 28% in sales. Your Company hopes to achieve much
higher  turnover  exceeding  Rs.  1200  crores  for  the  whole  of  the  current  year,  apart  from  the  results  arising  out  of  the
commissioning of PTA and LAB plants as well as higher capacity utilisation of PFY and PSF plants. Keeping in view of the
above. I am sure, the Company will show a better performance in the current year.

CONCLUSION:

I am grateful to the workers as well as to the Supervisors and Officers for their continued enthusiasm which has been the
main  contribution  towards  our  success.  I  would  also  like  to  thank  the  Shareholders  and  the  Board  of  Directors  for  their
considered support, as well as the Government, Financial Institutions and Banks for their help whenever it was sought.

right to retain 25 % of the issue in the event of oversubscription. the
largest issue made so far by a private sector company. in the country
The  issue  was  made  to  part  finance  the  capital  expenditure  of  the
Company and for augmenting the long term resources of the Company
for meeting its working capital requirements.
The Company is the first company in India to file Prospectuses
both In United Kingdom and Hong Kong as per international
practice.  Merrill  Lynch  &  Co.  .  Inc.,  one  of  the  lar gest
International  Investment  Bankers  acted  as  Advisers  to  the
Issue.
The  domestic  issue  mobilised  application  money  of  Rs.  494  crores.

14.55  lakhs  allottees.  Arrangements  are  being  made  to  list  these
debentures on the Stock Exchanges at Bombay, Ahmedabad, Calcutta.
New Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, Kanpur, Cochin and Madras.

4. YEAR IN RETROSPECT:

4.1 Overall Performance:
The  sales  during  the  year  under  review  reached  Rs.  904  crores  as
against Rs. 733 crores in the previous year with an increase of 23.3%.
There  was  a  pressure  on  margins  partly  because  of  unrestricted
smuggling  of  Polyester  Fabrics  as  well  as  unrestricted  imports  of
Polyester Staple Fibre and Yarn and partly due to the higher levy on
Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) compared to Dimethyl Terephthalate
(DMT).  though  both  are  alternative  raw  materials  of  the  polyester
industry  and  PTA  being  a  superior  raw  material  for  the  Polyester
Industry.  But  (or  these  factors,  the  gross  profit  would  have  smartly
risen in consonance with the turnover.
4.2 Textile Division:
During  the  year  under  review,  this  Division  started  taking  steps  to
implement  a  program  of  re-adjusting  its  product-mix  to  synchronise
with the changes in the consumers demand for high value high quality
products. The Company further strengthened its marketing net work
to meet the changing competitive scenerio.
4.3 Fibres Division:

4.3.1.  Polyester Yarn Division:
The Company maintained its growth both in annual production and
sales in polyester yarn in the year under review However. profit margins
were  under  pressure  mainly  due  to  unrestricted  imports.  removal  of
anti dumping duty of Rs. 15 per kg. on imports and the discriminating
policy of levying a higher import duty on PTA, a superior raw material
for the polyester industry. The reduction in excise duty on polyester
staple  fibre  and  not  on  polyester  filament  yarn  was  yet  another
discriminating policy to the disadvantage of polyester filament industry.
This resulted in a further pressure on the realisation of this division.
The division during the year introduced several new products such as
flat yarn, bright yarn and fancy yarn to enhance the product range.
thus making the Company a highly diversified producer in the polyester
industry.
4.3.2   Polyester Staple Fibre Division:

The Polyester Staple Fibre plant encountered several teething problems
and stablised its production as well as quality only during the later part
of the year under review The staple fibre demand was restricted owing
to the policy of free imports.The polyester staple fibre of your Company
has now been accepted as one of the best quality fibres in the market.

7

Reliance

The  Company  hopes  that  suitable  measures  will  be  taken  by  the
concerned  authorities  to  reverse  the  import  duty  on  PTA  to  restrict
imports of polyester fibre and yarn and to reduce the exorbitant excise
duty.  This  will  lead  to  fuller  capacity  utilisation  and  increased
consumption and enhance revenue to the exchequer

4.4

Show Cause Notice from Excise Authorities:

Your attention is drawn to the Auditors(cid:146) Report dated 29th April, 1987,
on the subject. You may be aware, that in the notes to Accounts of
1985, it was, inter alia, shown as a contingent liability a sum of Rs.
27.23 crores in the matter of a Show Cause Notice issued by Excise
Authority in respect of Polyester Yarn and contested by the Company.

This amount was the subject matter of a Show Cause Notice to which
the  Company  has  filed  a  detailed  reply  raising  therein  certain  basic
preliminary  contentions.  In  the  preliminary  contentions  the  very
maintainability of the substantial part of the Show Cause Notice was
challenged as the alleged excise duty was sought to be demanded not
on goods which have been actually produced or manufactured but on
goods which ought to or must be deemed to have been manufactured
on the basis of certain chemical formula set out in the Show Cause
Notice.  The  Collector  of  Central  Excise  heard  the  preliminary
contentions and decided that the Show Cause Nonce was maintainable
and deferred the consideration of the Show Cause Notice on merits.
In  an  appeal  before  the  Central-Excise  &  Gold  (Control)  Appellate
Tribunal (CEGAT) against the Order on the preliminary contentions,
differing judgements were given. one member holding that the appeal
was  not  maintainable  whilst  the  other  member  held  that  the  appeal
was maintainable, but held that CEGAT, unlike a Writ Court, had no
jurisdiction to quash the Show Cause Notice.

The Company thereafter held a Writ Petition under Article 226 of the
Constitution of India after the Order of CEGAT in the High Court of
Judicature  at  Bombay.  After  hearing  Counsel  for  the  Department
Government, the Hon(cid:146)ble Court admitted the Writ Petition and issued
rule nisi. The Order of the High Court also directed that the Collector
should  not  pass  any  final  order  on  the  Show  Cause  Notice  till  the
disposal of the Writ Petition The matter is, therefore. sub-judice and
no order of adjudication has been or can be passed till the disposal of
the Writ Petition. The Company has also contended that even on merits
there  is  no  basis  or  foundation  in  the  Show  Cause  Notice  and  that
there  is  no  liability  of  whatsoever  nature  for  excise  duty  or  penalty
arising therefrom.

In  the  light  of  the  above  and  since  the  maintainability  of  the  Show
Cause Notice itself is the question in issue before the High Court in
the Writ  Petition  which  has  been  admitted  and  is  pending.  and,  the
Show Cause Notice is totally unfounded your Directors are of the view
that any consideration of the sum of Rs. 27.23 crores in the financial
working of the Company for the year ended 31st December, 1986 or
in the Notes of Accounts thereto does not arise at all.

5. PROJECTS UNDER IMPLEMENTATION:

5.1

Textile Division:

The modernisation of twisting and knitting divisions taken on hand by
the Company with a capital outlay of Rs. 67 crores at Ahmedabad is
expected to be completed in the current year Upon completion, your
Company will not only attain the status of being the largest twisting
installation  in  the  world  under  one  roof  but  will  also  produce
sophisticated  furnishing  fabrics  of  international  quality  to  meet  the
quality conscious consumers in India and abroad.

5.2

Fibres Intermediate Division:

Purified Terepthalic Acid (PTA):

Chemical Industries, plc, U K.. Messrs. UOP Processes International Inc.,
U.S.A. and Messrs. John Brown Engineers & Constructors Ltd.. U. K. It
will be heartening to note that in the history of your Company. this project
is the single largest project, so far to be implemented.

The Company(cid:146)s industrial licence has been re-endorsed for the enlarged
capacity of 100,000 tonnes per annum. This is the minimum economic
capacity. The PTA plant is the first of its type in India and there are only
27 other plants existing in the world. With the commissioning of the PTA
plant, the Company will have adequate source to meet its growing raw
material requirement apart from meeting the demand of the producers of
polyester in India. This project will save over Rs 80 crores per annum
(based on current imports) in foreign exchange for the country.

5.3

Detergent Intermediate Division:

Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB) Project:

The  Company  has  taken  up  the  LAB  project  by  way  of  further
diversification in the held of Petro Chemicals, in order to meet the fast
growing requirements of synthetic detergents in the country. Currently.
the projected demand for LAB is 120,000  tonnes per annum This is met
by importing LAB at a foreign exchange expenditure of Rs. 70 crores.
The Company has got its industrial licence re-endorsed for a higher capacity
of 60,000 tonnes per annum. On account of the delay in obtaining certain
clearances the commissioning of LAB plant has also been delayed. It is
now  expected  that  with  all  equipments  at  site  this  project  will  also  be
commissioned  in  the  second-half  of  1987  with  the  guidance  of  UOP
Processes International Inc., U.S.A., the Technical Collaborators associated
with the project.

6. NEW GROWTH CENTRE PETRO CHEMICAL COMPLEX:

Your Company has decided to enter the rapidly growing held of Plastic
Resins and has obtained a Letter of Intent for the manufacture of 50,000
tonnes of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and 1()0,(K)() tonnes of Poly
Vinyl Chloride (PVC) per annum.

For setting up these projects, the Company has acquired lands at Hazira,
in the State of Gujarat. The Company has signed Agreements with the
Technical  Collaborators.  viz.  Messrs.  Du  Pont,  Canada  for  HDPE  and
Messrs. B.F. Goodrich & Co., the world leaders in PVC technology.

The  Company  has  also  taken  up  steps  to  set  up  a  project  for  the
manufacture of Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG), a basic raw material required
for the Polyester Industry Permission of the Government authorities for
endorsement in the licensed capacity to 60.000 tonnes per annum, which
is the minimum economic capacity, is awaited. The Company has also
entered  into  collaboration  agreement  with  Messrs.  Scientific  Design
Company. New York, for this project.

Recruitment of key engineering personnel required for these projects is
underway. Implementation of the aforesaid projects will entail a capital
outlay of over Rs. 500 crores (approx.)

7. DIVERSIFICATION INTO ELECTRONICS:

Your  Company  has  received  a  clearance  from  the  Government  to
manufacture 15,00.000 Colour Glass Shells and 5,00,000 Colour Picture
Tubes  annually  involving  a  capital  outlay  of  over  Rs.  200  crores.  The
Company has initiated action to identify collaborators to implement this
project. Diversification in this held by the Company is yet another project
in the series of projects of import substitution taken up by the Company
to reduce dependence on imported items by the country.

8. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT:

Due  to  unexpected  delay  in  receiving  certain  clearances,  the
commissioning of your PTA Plant has been delayed. However, requisite
permissions have now been received and all equipment is at the site.
The Company is hopeful of commissioning the plant in the second-
half of 1987 with the guidance of technical collaborators.  Messrs. Imperial

Research  &  Development  Division  at  Ahmedabad  worked  on  various
projects associated with textile production and introduced various schemes
and measures in dyeing, printing and processing of fabrics. At Patalganga,
the Research and Development Wing achieved a major breakthrough in
developing and implementing the waste recovery process.

and IV, at their Class Meetings held on 28th August, 1986 your Company
has  received  the  final  permission  of  the  Controller  of  Capital  Issues,
Government of India, New Delhi, for redeeming the outstanding face value
of the said debentures aggregating Rs. 1.28 crores.

Requisite  notices  until  be  sent  shortly  by  the  Company  requesting  the
debentureholders to surrender the debenture certificates to redeem the
said debentures not later than 30th June, 1987.

10. INVESTORS(cid:146) SERVICES:

The total strength of investors of your Company has now reached almost
28 lacs. To cope with the increasing volume of transfers, many areas of
the  transfer  system  have  been  computerised  and  mechanised.  Further,
special  counters  have  been  additionally  opened  in  South  Bombay  and
Ahmedabad to receive transfer documents. The Company hopes to extend
this facility to other metropolises very shortly.

Your Company planned a unique scheme to refund excess application
money to the investors in respect of its recent debenture issue Series (cid:145)G(cid:146)
whereby  the  refund  amounts  were  deposited  in  the  investors(cid:146)  account
automatically. The Company with the co-operation of the head offices of
certain banks identified over 4200 branches in 29 towns to credit the
excess application money to the investors(cid:146) account. In a matter of seven
days. a sum of Rs. 90 crores was actually credited to the respective investors
accounts. Since this was the first exercise (involving massive analysis and
processing of application forms and deployment of various agencies) there
have been cases where the banks could not cope with the scheme which
resulted  in  some  complaints.  They  have  been  since  attended  to  most
expeditiously. In view of the experience, the Company avoided this scheme
for  the  Rights  Issue  in  refunding  excess  application  money  to  the
shareholders.

Keeping in view the investors convenience and to expedite despatch of
Debenture Certificate Debenture Series (cid:145)G(cid:146), your Company has opened
78 delivery centres at all major towns to deliver over 30 lakhs certificates.

The Company has been providing liability for Excise Duty in respect of finished products
lying in factory premises/bond as and when they are removed on the footing that
duty becomes payable only at the time of removal of goods. Accordingly, estimated
liability amounting to Rs. 61.06 crores in respect of such product at year end has not
been provided in the accounts and not included in the inventory of finished products.
Foreign Currency Loans availed of during the year to acquire plant and machinery
(a)
have  been  accounted  for  in  terms  of  Indian  Rupees  at  the  exchange  rates
prevailing on relevant dates.

(b) No effect has been given in the Accounts to the fluctuations in rates of exchange

(c) The Company has consistently been treating difference on account of fluctuations
in exchange rates on payments of instalments of loans, deferred credit facilities,
etc. as a revenue expenditure and the same amounting to Rs 4.32 crores (Previous
year Rs. 3.39 crores) has been included under the head (cid:147)General Expenses(cid:148).

11. The Company has been advised that there will be no tax liability for the year ending
31st  December,  1986,  in  view  of  various  reliefs  claimed  in  tax  proceedings.  The
Company is of the opinion that Taxation Reserve of Rs. 10 crores created in the
previous year is adequate to take care of tax liability. if any, for pending assessments.
12. The Company allotted 13.5% Secured Fully Convertible Debentures of Rs. 145 each
(Series (cid:145)G(cid:146)) for an aggregate nominal value of Rs. 500 crores after the close of the

subservient charge in favour of the Trustees for the holders of the said debentures by
mortgaging immovable and moveable assets and properties of the Company situate
at Naroda, in the State of Gujarat
The face value of each Debenture shall be converted into two equity shares of Rs. 10
each credited as fully paid up at a premium of Rs. 62.50 per share at the expiry of 12
months from the date of allotment of the said Debentures. Amount disbursed against
the above issue expenses till the year end amounting to Rs. 3.94 crores have been
shown under the head Advances Recoverable in cash or kind, pending allocation and
finalisation.

13. The Company until last year used to account for disposal of waste generated in the
course  of  production  on  cash  basis.  During  the  year,  one  of  the  Waste  Recovery
Plants  was  commissioned  for  recycling  of  Polyester  yarn  and  Fibre  waste  as  raw
material: Therefore, such usable waste lying with the Company to the extent of 4040

Directors are interested, save and except from a subsidiary company as
listed  in  the  register  maintained  under  Section  301  of  the  Companies
Act.  1956.  The  prices  paid  in  respect  of  purchases  made  from  the
subsidiary company in excess of Rs. 10,000/- in value for each type of
item so purchased are reasonable as compared to price quoted by others
or as per information available with the Company.

however, made a detailed examination of the same.

13. Provident Fund dues have been regularly deposited during the year with

the appropriate authorities.

14. In respect of trading activities. we are informed that the Company does
not have damaged goods lying with it at the end of the year. Therefore no

a  reasonable  system  of  recording  receipts.  issues  and  consumption  of
materials and stores commensurate with the size and nature of its business
and the system provides for a reasonable allocation of materials and man
hours consumed to the relative jobs. In our opinion, there is reasonable
system for authorisation at proper levels with necessary control on the

other assets.

7. There  are  no  purchases  during  the  year  of  stores,  raw  materials  or
components  from  the  firms  or  companies  or  other  parties  in  which
Directors are interested.

8. As  explained  to  us,  the  Company  has  a  regular  procedure  for  the
determination  of  unserviceable  or  damaged  stores  and  raw  materials.
Adequate provision has been made in the accounts for the loss arising on

As required by the Manufacturing and Other Companies (Auditors(cid:146) Report)
Order, 1975 issued by the Company Law Board in terms of Section 227 (4A)
of the Companies Act, 1956 and on the basis of such checks as we considered
appropriate, we further report that :

1. The  Company  has  maintained  proper  records  showing  full  particulars
including quantitative details and situation of fixed assets. The fixed assets
have been physically verifiedd by the Management during th year and no
serious discrepancies were noticed on such verification as compared with
the available records.

2. None of the Fixed Assets have been revalued during the year.

12. The Central Government has prescribed maintenance of cost records under
Section  209(  1  )(d)  of  the  Companies  Act,  1956,  in  respect  of  the
manufacturing  activities  of  the  Company.  We  are  informed  that  such
accounts and records have, prima facie, been maintained. We have not,
however, made a detailed examination of the same.

13. Provident Fund dues have been regularly deposited during the year with

the appropriate authorities.

14. In respect of trading activities, we are informed that the Company does

intervals during the year in respect of finished goods, stores, spare parts
and  raw  materials  save  and  except  goods  lying  with  third  parties.  The
discrepancies  noticed  on  such  verification  as  compared  with  the  book
records were not significant and the same have been properly dealt with
in the Books of Account- The valuation of these stocks is fair and proper
and is in accordance with the normally accepted accounting principles.

15. (n respect of processing activities, we are informed that the Company has
a  reasonable  system  of  recording  receipts,  issues  and  consumption  of
materials and stores commensurate with the size and nature of its business

system for authorisation at proper levels with necessary control on the
issues and allocation of stores and labour to relative jobs.
