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.

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

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

producer under the brand name VIMAL. This Division is formulating an
overall modernisation and expansion plan to maintain its leading position.

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).

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.
Discussions are in progress with various Indian and multinational lending
institutions to meet the necessary foreign exchange requirement. The
polyester project will be based on DuPont technology which is currently
in use at the company’s Patalganga Complex.
PURIFIED TEREPHTHALIC ACID (PTA)
The Company has plans to set up a new 3,50,000 tons PTA plant also at
Hazira. The Company has already submitted its proposal to the financial
institutions. The project is estimated to cost about Rs. 850 crores. The
project is being set up to meet the raw material requirements of the
Polyester/PET project being proposed at Hazira as well as to meet the
needs of quality conscious customers who consider PTA as the preferred
feedstock for polyester.
CAPTIVE POWER PLANT (CPP)
Your Company has set up large manufacturing complexes at Naroda,
Patalganga and Hazira. To ensure quality and maintain stable operations,
the Company proposes to set up Captive Power Plants. at all the three
manufacturing sites.

As a step in backward integration, the Company is in the process of
setting up manufacturing facilities for ethylene di-chloride (EDC), a
feedstock for PVC. The Company has received permission to set up a

The Company has made substantial progress towards the implementation
of one of the largest ever grass root refineries in India. This refinery will
have an annual capacity of 9 (nine) million tonnes. The project will be
implemented through a newly formed company in the name of Reliance

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

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.
