accordance with a scheme framed in that behalf, through a special trust,

Company  to  enable  the  Employees  Trust  to  acquire,  purchase  or
subscribe for the shares of the Company. The proposed resolution is
designed to enable achievement of these objectives.

Section 81 of the Companies Act, 1956, provides, inter alia that when it
is proposed to increase the issued capital of a company by allotment of
further  shares,  such  further  shares  shall  be  offered  to  the  existing
shareholders of the Company in the manner laid down in the said Section
unless the shareholders in General Meeting decide otherwise. The listing
agreement with the Stock Exchanges provide inter alia, that the Company
in the first instance should offer all the securities to be issued by the
Company for subscription pro-rata to the Equity Shareholders unless
the Shareholders decide otherwise in a General Meeting.

Under the said special resolution consent of the Shareholders is being
sought  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  the  said  Section  and  all  other
applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, and in terms of the
provisions of the listing agreement executed by the Company with the
various Stock Exchanges in India where the Company’s securities are
listed.

Your Directors recommend the resolution for adoption.

deemed to be concerned or interested in the resolution to the extent of
offer of securities which may be issued to them and benefit which may
accrue to them.

Company to the effect that Shri Mukesh D. Ambani, Vice Chairman and

Ambani may be deemed to be concerned or interested in the resolution.

None of the other Directors of the Company is, in any way, concerned or

Polyester Staple Fibre (PSF)

Your Company operated at over 100% capacity as against the industry’s
capacity utilization of 60%. The Company produced almost one-third
(among  10  producers)  of  the  industry’s  production. Your  Company
continues to lay emphasis on achieving consistently high quality and
ensuring  good  customer  ser vice.  Steps  have  been  taken  for  the
improvement of the product mix as well as the production of speciality
products for a better average realization. Given the prevailing competitive
conditions,  active  marketing  efforts  were  pursued  to  maintain  your
Company’s position in the polyester industry.

Polyester Filament Yarn (PFY)

Your Company produced 31% of the total industry’s production (among
22 producers) during the year under review. The production achieved
during the year was in excess of 17% over the previous year. During the
year, the Company changed its product mix suitably to meet the market
requirements. Apart from the increase in production, there was an allround
quality improvement and your Company offered a wide range of products
to the market. The value added products included textured, twisted, high

twisted dyed yarns as well as bright yarns. The superior quality of these
yarns enabled consumers to increase production of high value fabrics
for local sales and for the export mar ket. The Company is continuously
making efforts to increase production by debottlenecking/ expansion and
also by upgrading quality and developing new products.

FIBRE INTERMEDIATES DIVISION:

Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA)

Your Company produced 65% of the combined DMT and PTA industry’s
production during the year under review. The Company achieved over
100% capacity utilization. With the increased acceptance of the PTA route
for the manufacture of polyester in India, the demand for PTA is expected
to grow much faster in the coming few years. However, with the reduction
in import duties, the prices remained under constant pressure.

Ethylene Glycol (EG)

In the very first year of its operation. EG production recorded 86% capacity
utilization at Hazira which was over 50% of the industry’s production
during the year under review. Most of the MEG production at Hazira is
used captively in the production of polyester at Patalganga. The balance
of about 42,000 MT was sold to the other polyester producers who are
also the consumers of PTA produced by your Company.

POLYMERS DIVISION:

84.81

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

Your Company started the commercial production of PVC, producing
about 37% of the industry’s production capacity during the year under
review. After the initial star t-up problem, the Company has been able to
achieve over 100% capacity utilization. The entire production has been
successfully marketed. The major reason for this success is superior
product quality, on par with international standards.

85.67

11

Reliance

Enthused by the positive response to the product, your Company has
taken up debottlenecking/expansion plans which would almost double
the PVC capacity in the near future.

PROJECTS:

NGL/NAPHTHA CRACKER

The period under review was significant, as for the first time in this country,
action was taken against foreign suppliers by imposing an anti dumping
duty. The Indian PVC Industry which suffered the consequences of large
scale dumping during the first three quarters of the year under review
got relief from the government by way of a provisional anti dumping duty.
Submissions  are  being  made  by  the  PVC  Resin  Manufacturers
Association seeking permanent relief against dumping.

The  implementation  of  the  NGL/Naphtha  Cracker  Project  has  made
good  progress.  A  majority  of  detailed  engineering  work  has  already
been  completed.  Procurement  activities  and  construction  work  at
the site have also commenced. The Company has received permission
from the Government of India to increase the capacity of the proposed
cracker to 7,50,000 TPA of ethylene and 3,65,000 TPA of propylene and
to  produce  2,35,000  TPA  of  benzene,  1,97,000  TPA  of  toluene  and
1,00,000 TPA of xylene.

Polyethylene (PE)

POY/PET PROJECT

The Company commenced trial run production of polyethylene at Hazira.
The plant has a rated capacity which is 55% of the combined capacities
of the three domestic producers. Your Company has established a strong
distribution  network  consisting  of  consignment  agents  and  product
promoters all over the country. With the help of Product Application and
Research  Centre,  the  Company  will  be  able  to  give  strong  technical
support to the downstream manufacturers.

CHEMICALS DIVISION:

Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB)

Your Company produced almost 38% of the total industry’s production
during the year under review. The capacity utilization was nearly 100%.
With the start-up of the Normal Paraffin manufacturing facilities using
kerosene, the Company was able to achieve a better contribution during
the year under review.

Ethylene Oxide (EO)

Your Company produced EO and captured a sizeable market share. The
Company has plans to expand its EO manufacturing facilities through
debottlenecking/expansion.

TEXTILE DIVISION:

The Company improved its position as India’s largest synthetic textile
producer under the brand name VIMAL. This Division is formulating an
overall modernisation and expansion plan to maintain its leading position.

EXPORTS

The focussed efforts of your Company to establish itself in the expor ts
market yielded good results. Exports in the year under review totalled
Rs. 121 crores - an increase of 50% over the last year (Rs. 81 crores).
The Company exported most of its products and has established quality
standards in the international market.

SHIPPING DIVISION

During the year, the Company acquired 2 Tugs, having a Bollard Pull of
14  Tons each, from an Indian yard. Approval has also been received
from the Government of India towards the acquisition of 2 Suez-Max
crude oil tankers. To ensure the efficient and safe supply of ethylene to
the Hazira plant, the Company has successfully carried out its lighterage
operations by deploying its own fleet of 3 LEG Carriers. Having gained
the  necessary  expertise  to  handle  ethylene,  attention  is  now  being
focussed on evolving a system for transporting other raw materials like
EDC and VCM by the ocean route which is inherently safer and more
economical. The  acquisition  of  suitable  vessels  is  on  hand  and  work
relating to the enhancement of berthing facilities is also progressing apace
with the objective of providing an economic and environmentally safe
mode of transporting captive cargoes.

The Company proposes to set up a project for the manufacture of 70,000
TPA of polyester yarn and 30,000 TPA of bottle grade PET chips in Hazira
at a total cost of Rs. 736 crores. The proposed project will be the largest
in the country and will enjoy considerable economies of scale. With the
implementation of this project, the Company will be doubling its existing
capacity in polyester yarn. The raw materials for the project, namely PTA
and MEG, will also be produced by the Company. The project is expected
to meet the fast-growing demand for these products in India and abroad.

The  project  cost  of  Rs.736  crores  has  been  appraised  by  ICICI.

In accordance with the accounting policy followed by the Company, the estimated liability as on 31st March, 1993 amounting to Rs.54.35 crores
for excise duty in respect of finished products lying in bonded premises has not been provided for in the accounts and hence not included in the
valuation of inventory. This accounting treatment has no impact on profits of the current financial year.

The income-tax assessments of the Company have been completed upto Assessment Year 1990-91. The total demand raised by the Income-tax
Department upto the said assessment year is Rs.78.46 crores which are disputed. Based on the decisions of the First Appellate Authorities and
interpretation of other relevant provisions. the Company has been legally advised that provision for taxation made in respect thereof aggregating to
Rs.15.52 crores is sufficient and no further provision for taxation in respect thereof is required in the accounts The taxation reserve created in the past
amounting to Rs.10.00 crores would be adequate enough to meet the liabilities, if any, in respect of disputed matters which are pending in appeals.
The Company has been advised that no provision for taxation is necessary for the current financial year in view of various unabsorbed past reliefs.

1.

The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars
including quantitative details and situation of fixed assets. We are
informed that most of the assets have been physically verified by the
management during year and that no material discrepancies were
noticed on such verification. In our opinion, the frequency of such
physical verification is reasonable having regard to the size of the
Company and the nature of its assets

2. None of the fixed assets have been revalued during the year.

According to the information and explanations given to us, the stocks
of finished goods, stores, spare parts and raw materials have been

to the size of the Company and the nature of its business.

As explained to us, there were no material discrepancies noticed on
physical verification of the stocks and the same have been properly
dealt with in the books of account.

or from companies under the same management within the meaning
of  Section  370(1B)  of  the  Companies  Act,  1956  The  terms  and

determination of unserviceable or damaged stores, raw materials and
finished goods. Adequate provision has been made in the accounts
for the loss arising on the items so determined.

1956 and the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 1975 are
not applicable to the Company.
