To meet this demand, your company has upgraded itsmanufacturing facility at Ahmedabad and has procured latest machinery to enhance the productivity and operational excellence.
The global manufacturing shift to Asia (China and India) heralds new opportunity for your company. Your company havingrefurbished its manufacturing facility is in discussion with various global manufacturing companies to outsource theirmanufacturing requirements from your company.
Currently, your company is engaged in an In-House transformation initiative to change the way it is doing business. Substantialresources are being invested in attaining operational excellence, focusing on cost, quality and on-time performance. This agendaof your company is being driven by independent project monitoring cell and MIS Reporting System. This is helping your companyto come up with quicker decision making, increasing throughput, dispatch and commissioning schedules to match the changingrequirements of the customer. Several proprietary products are being redesigned on the principle of “Value Engineering”. Thecompany is also adopting the root of global sourcing of raw materials and components.
Your company has recently launched its “Knowledge Process Outsourcing” Center in Mumbai, which is duly registered underSTPI.

Your company has a unique track record of building almost 90% of phosphatic and fertilizer plants on turnkey basis. Many of theexisting phosphatic fertilizer plants are under expansion and your company is already executing Expansion Orders for IFFCO attheir Kandla and Paradeep units. More enquiries from other DAP/NPK plants are under various stages of discussion.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Your company is a pioneering company, in water & waste water treatment plant market in India. Your company has executedmany Waste Water Treatment plant projects for most of the core sector industries like Refineries, Process Chemical, Steel,Fertilizer, Sugar, Pulp & Paper etc. In recent past your company has further strengthened its presence in this sector, by securingcontracts from refineries and Government & semi Government organizations.
Water infrastructure market in India is consistently growing in last few years. Even today large section of population in India, donot have access to safe drinking water & safe treatment and disposal of sewage is still a distant reality for most of the semi urban& rural population in India. Government of India, has identified these needs & is taking steps to address this problem by increasedfunding through central government grants, NRCD etc. Many Municipal corporations & State Governments are planning projectswith funding from international agencies like World Bank, Asian Development Bank, JBIC etc.
Growing water demand is forcing many Industries to look for effluent recycling option involving membrane separation technology.In States like Tamilnadu & Gujarat, sea water desalination projects are coming up in big way. Your company is aggressivelypursuing this business, by technology tie ups / consortium bids with International companies. Many such projects are in advanceplanning stage and your company expects to get its potential share.
PULP & PAPER
The core strength of your company in the Pulp & Paper area is in the Fibre line equipments and Recausticizing plant in Recoveryarea and fibre recovery in the Machine side. Most of the Paper mills in India are based on Sulphate process of Paper making andinvariably all these mills have our equipment. Without the Recausticizing plant the process of Paper making is not economicallyviable.
With the growing demand of Paper Globally, your company is poised to make headway in the Fibreline area. A recently concludedEPC contract for Yunus Emere Pulp & Paper Mill in, Ashgabat, Turkministan won us all round accolade in our capacity to executesuch contract.
In the past, while small Paper Mills were successful in making paper out of Agro based pulp, your company promoted Specialwashers for such pulp handling and had the expertise to make it a grand success. Similarly, in the area of cooking Continuousdigesters, are introduced which is gaining ground and will be an addition to the existing product line.
Since the Central Government pollution laws have become very stringent, many small mills have augmented their capacities andpreferred to go for your Recausticizing plant, wherein the spent liquor from the system is recovered and reused preventingpollution and thereby abiding by environmental regulations.
Added to this, in the fibre line area, new technologies like Oxygen Delignification and the latest Ripple deck design washers havecreated considerable interest among our long chain of clientele.

packages and EPC installations for its core business. Through its network of local business agents, your company keeps close
coordination with its overseas customers and provides sales and service. Your company has developed long-term business

RISK MANAGEMENT
The company recognizes that this is inevitable and believes in having an optimum, well-defined and integrated risk management
strategy. It also believes that proper risk identification; evaluation and mitigation would help to achieve its target of sustainable
growth and profitability. Your company operates in the sectors where business is of cyclic nature. While the project business has
higher cyclical volatility, it is lower for the product business. The company’s attempt at de-risking includes expansion in complete
system solutions rather than focusing only on proprietary products. The company is also attempting to diversify into Cement and
Coal business and is in discussion with leading technology providers for jointly participating in various projects.
Increase in raw material prices adversely affects profitability. Hence, the company constantly monitors raw material prices and
accordingly, revises the selling price of its product. In case of large projects, normally the contracts do not provide for any input
price link escalation. In such cases, the increase in raw material price can have substantial impact on profitability. To minimize
this risk, the company has a system of obtaining back-to-back quotations from its suppliers and it also carries out price
finalization with major vendors during the initial months of project commencement.
The company has robust and well-documented system in place for reporting, evaluating and monitoring project risks at regular
intervals. The company faces various risks in the execution of large projects, which are monitored throughout the life cycle of
projects from commencement to commissioning. Proper estimation and evaluation systems provide major risk management
tools. During execution, cost and progress of the project are regularly monitored through well defined reporting system.
HUMAN RESOURCES
The company’s HR Policies and Processes are aligned to effectively drive its expanding business and forays into emerging
opportunities. This has been achieved by continuously investing in training and development programs, creating a compelling
work environment, empowering employees at all levels and maintaining well structured reward and recognition mechanisms.
The company helps employees build new skills and new competencies and promotes knowledge sharing and team building.
During the year, the company added several new employees at all levels through recruitment. The company’s recruitment
practice ensures that suitable candidates with merit are recruited and provided with the right opportunities.
