granules ltd......

Granules India is a merchant exporter of bulk drugs like Paracetamol, Guaifenesin and Chloro Pheniramine Maleste. It has been exporting mainly to the developed markets such as U.S.A., Europe, Mexico and Hongkong.Company has commenced the Commercial Production w.e.f. March 10, 2006, from its API plant situated at Bonthapally, Medak Dist., Andhra Pradesh, with a manufacturing capacity of 8000 TPA of Paracetamol. The unit is a 100% EOU. The company registered 53 per cent rise in net profit at Rs 2.22 crore for the quarter ended December 2005, as against Rs 1.45 crore recorded in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The company's sales increased by 43 per cent to Rs 44.44 crore as against Rs 31.15 crore in the same period last financial year.Granules India is moving up on strong export impetus. Granules India, engaged in the manufacture of compressible granules as a value-added product to the pharmaceuticals formulation players, is witnessing steady growth in its sales and exports. It has established itself as a favoured partner with an array of pharmaceuticals companies world over in the API outsourcing market. With its latest facilities and several approvals, including USFDA for its plant, the company has gained an edge over its competitors in the international arena. A few global pharmaceutical companies posses the capability to provide granulation solutions in commercial batch sizes at a time when globally granulation outsourcing is increasing for cost consideration. Granules India is among a few global companies offering a product range comprising PH solution in combination with others. The company's ability to provide tablets in batch sizes has also extended its clout in the outsourcing market. The company has raised additional fund through issue of warrants to promoters at a price of Rs 102.50 to carry on with the expansion work.The company has issued GDR at a price of .30 which comes to around Rs 103.50.The proceeds of this issue were mainly being used for expansion projects that were in various stages of implementation and were yet to contribute to the earnings.The script is trading at P/E of 14 discounting FY06-07 expected EPS of 5.8 and 11 discounting FY07-08 expected EPS of 7.25 which looks reasonable.Technically,the script has fallen hard from the levels of 124 and is now trading around 84 levels.It has major support around 80 levels which looks unlikely to break.So downside looks limited.Moreover the company is expected to post good result for quarter ending 31st March,2006

heritage food

Heritage Foods (India) Ltd (HFL) is one of South India's leading privatesector milk processing and distribution companies. Hyderabad based HFL ispromoted by Mr. Chandrababu Naidu and family. It has got presence in southIndia's three leading states i.e. Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.It derives its turnover from large cities in Andhra (42%), Tamil Nadu (28%)and Karnataka (30%).*Industry Outlook: -*Incidentally, in India, only 15% milk is processed in factories for liquidmilk and milk production otherwise most of the milk comes from unorganizedsector (which sells loose and often adulterated milk). But, this scenario isexpected to be changed sooner then later amidst changing demographiccondition. Global consumption pattern shows that as income increases, theconsumption of protein foods increases. India is no exception. As per theICRA report, increasing income always accompanied by a change in the foodbasket.The growth of disposable income, change in family structure, focus onhealthy, nutritious and quality products are likely to result in demand fora shift towards branded safe and quality dairy products. Growing demand ofDiet milk, Fortified milk and other such niche categories are example of it.The projected demand for milk and milk products in 2020 is expected toincrease more than five times to 289 mn tones from 52 mn tones in 1993. Sourban India is going to be effective market for branded and healthy milk andrelated products. Currently nearly 50% of total milk produced is beingconsumed by urban India. The expected rise in urban population (it isestimated to grow by 85 million over the next 10 years, the second highestin the world) and the amplification of the affluent & upper middle levelgroups would be a windfall to Indian dairying.*Diversifying into Food Retailing and Infrastructure Development: -*It has recently announced its intention of foraying into retail business forfood processing products. Here the company will not only market only its ownproducts but also that of other food processing companies. It decided toappoint KSA Technopak (India) Pvt Ltd, a Curt Salmon Associates jointventure, as consultants for the proposed processed food products retailbusiness. KSA has to its credit successful experience of working withleading FMCG majors such as ITC and HLL. At present, three teams of KSA areworking out details on procurement, technology and logistics for foodproducts retailing. I expect the final report of KSA on the business modelto be ready by March-end. I expect once the retail foray takes shape,company growth from this segment will spur the revenue and valuations.Further the company also proposed to gain from the booming infrastructureindustry using its current networth towards taking up of projects in the BOTmodel. It has recently Floated an infrastructure company – Heritage InfraDevelopers Ltd, wherein the company would hold 51% equity. The company hasplots of land in Hyderabad, Chennai and other cities. It will developcommercial and residential flats on these plots. Also, this new subsidiaryis expected to participate in government infrastructure projects. The paidup capital of this company will be Rs. 90 mn. It will pay 6 to 7 mn toacquire 51% stake in this company. This will be a one time funding activityand further free cash flows of Heritage food will not be deployed to fundthe expansion activities of this infrastructure company.*Future Outlook: -*HFIL's future growth would be driven by increasing consumption of milk, gainin market share from unorganized sector (which sells loose and oftenadulterated milk), entry into new cities and higher sales of value addedproducts such as ghee, Curd, Paneer, Cream etc.On the back of better monsoon this year the raw milk prices (accountsfor 79-81% of total operating expenditure) have fallen by approximately 10%in all three states in which the company operates. This is quite visible inthe Nine Month operating margins, which are at 8.15% compared to 7.8% of theFY05. For the nine month ended December'05, the turnover has increased by 9%YOY while PAT has increased by 42.75%, jumped to Rs.9.85 Cr.*Valuations: -**At CMP of Rs.175, it is selling at just 8.33x its expected FY07 earnings ofRs.21, which is very low for the company which has maintained CAGR of 41% insales and 39% in net profits since inception and average RoE of over 25%during the same period*. In its core business, company expects its volume togrow 15-20% going forward on the back of venturing into new states likeKerala and also by increasing its market share into existing states byopening more plants and distribution centers. *Diversifying intoinfrastructure development & processed food products retailing would lead tode-risking of revenues and company's earning will be on high growthtrajectory than what has observed so far from its core business, hencegoing forward HFL is ideal case for PE re-rating. I think Re-rating wouldhappen someday or other.****Also, in terms of Market cap/Sales ratio, its valuation is ridiculouslycheap. The company is available at a market cap of around Rs.165Cr. It isselling at Mcap/ Sales ratio of 0.57 for its FY06 sales of Rs.287.1Cr.Taking into consideration past return ratios up to 2004; it has potential toachieve Mcap/ Sales of 1.3 to 1.5 which is benchmark for commodity playersin normal times. Even if we give 1 time Mcap/ Sales over FY06 sales, HFL isavailable at very cheap and attractive valuations.* *I feelthat the Heritage Foods's Share price would Outperformer broad market rally.****Concerns: -***The dairy business is susceptible to seasonal fluctuation. Drought in theprocurement area leads to shortage of milk outputs, this in turn impacts thequantity of milk a company can procure process & sell. Also, the liquid milkbusiness is not capital intensive and there very few entry barriers forkeeping out new entrants. So, going forward, higher competition level mayimpact company's growth and profitability. However, we are confident onHFL's business model amidst its latest initiatives of entering intoretailing of high margin, value added packaged milk products andinfrastructure development activity. We also feel that the company isuniquely positioned to capture growth in existing states as well as newstate such as Kerala.

Eldeco has what it takes to bring in phenomenal returns to investors.
CMP

BSE Code
523329
With hard-core technical people sitting in the center, Eldeco Housing is a name to be reckon with construction in UP. With a 13-year-old history, there are many group companies under the flagship of Eldeco, a few of them are: Eldeco construction Pvt. Limited, Eldeco housing and Industries Limited, Eldeco Infrastructure and properties Limited (run by Mr. Pankaj Bajaj), Eldeco buildtech Pvt. Limited, Eldeco Projects Pvt. Limited.
With Mr. Pankaj Bajaj emerging as a Young Turk in the Housing sector, and founder MD Mr. VK Garg growing in age, the chances of merging all group concerns under one roof is a high probability. If this move works out on desired lines, the 1400 acres of land bank owned by the unlisted Eldeco Infra, could come under Eldeco Housing and add to the existing 400 acres of land bank that Eldeco Housing has in Lucknow, Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad and Gurgaon.
In last few years time, company has completed projects worth Rs.100 crs in Lucknow, Kanpur, Agra, Noida and Greater Noida.
For the next 5 years time, company has confirmed orders of Rs.450 crs and to complete the projects on time, the company is working overtime. Some of the big projects, which are currently under construction, are Ananda (Noida), Eldeco Mansionz (Gurgaon), Utopia (Greater Noida), Golf view apartments (Greater Noida) Residency greens, Green Meadows, Eldeco arcadia, and Eldeco apartments, Vaishali.
The company faces no problem in getting loans from the banks because of the strong balance sheet. Apart from that, the projections given by the different bodies of GOI for the construction shows and holds a very promising future for the company and for the industry.
We expect a price of Rs.500 in one year's time

KCP LTD

KCP Ltd has 5 divisions :

1. Cement - 5 lakh tons at Macherla, Andhra Pradesh (30kms from Nagarjuna Sagar)
2. Hydropower - Small 8 mw power plant near a place called Vinukonda for captive use.
3. Engineering - Workshop at Tiruvottiyur in Chennai - 130 acres
4. Sugar subsidiary in Vietnam
5. Biotech.

Cement :

The company has reported a loss of about 2.20 crs for the first 9 months as realisations were very poor. This is due to the fact that it is present in a bad cluster. There is a lot of overcapacity in their cluster. The cement companies in that cluster got together and agreed on maintaining price discipline. The other players in this cluster are India Cements, Pennar Cement and Priyadarshini Cement. However due to the floods in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, manufacturers like India Cements dumped their excess stock in Andhra which significantly depressed prices. The prices were between 110 - 120 a bag.
However, in the fourth quarter prices have recovered to between 130 - 140 a bag and the company should be able to recover their losses in this segment for the last 9 months. The company should report close to 100 crs revenues this year from cement. The company selles 85% in Andhra, 10% in Tamil Nadu and 5% in other states like Karnataka. The capacity utilisation is close to 100%.

Hydropower :

This plant was set up a few years ago to cut down their operating costs. However due to the erratic rainfall in the past few years, the plant was not running at optimum level. Only this year, the power plant is making a significant contribution to the profits.

Engineering :

The company operates in 5 segments :

1. Power - The company manufactures the mechanical part of power equipment like gears for turbines, spiral tubes etc.
2. Cement Machinery - The company earlier had a joint venture with the global leader in cement machinery, Fuller. It was called Fuller KCP. The company has now become a 100% sub of Fuller India. Fuller has moved its global design centre to Chennai. FL Smith has now taken over Fuller globally. Fuller does not have a manufacturing facility in India and KCP being so closely associated with them is a preferred partner. KCP manufactures the entire range of cement machinery. The main competitors are Walchandnagar Industries and Krupp India Ltd. The company has had very few orders from the cement sector for the last few years due to the lack capex. However as cement prices keep trending upwards, cement players may now begin to get tempted to get into an expansion mode again and hence KCP could be one of the biggest beneficiaries assuming Fuller bags a lot of the orders.
3. Sugar - KCP manufacuters sugar machinery like boilers. It has supplied equipment to companies like the EID group in the past. KCP's strength is in the south. However as not many south based sugar companies are expanding at the moment, the sugar order book isn't very large at the moment. If sugar prices remain strong, there could be a hughe capex in the south next year.
4. Defence equipment - KCP manufacutrers mechanical components for defence equipment. Their client base includes DRDO, ISRO etc. They have built the second rocket launhpad at Sriharikota showing what they are technically capable of. The company hopes that as more and more defence production is getting diverted to the private sector, the order book will increase.
5. General Engineering Equipmet - These are custom build applications for companies in a diverse range on industries. This contributes almost 50% of engg division sales.

The engineering order book is about 80 crs.

Sugar :

KCP holds a 66% stake in a sugar company in Vietnam. The company has a crushing capacity between 2500 to 3000 TCD. The plant has a sugar refinery. This gives KCP the flexibility to either buy cane from local farmers if the crop is good or import raw sugar and sell it domestically if there is a crop failure. Either way, KCP is hedged. For the last few years, this subsidiary has been making losses as the initial plant location was not suitable for sugarcane. The yields and recovery rate were low. Hence last year KCP dismantled the plant and moved it to a more appropriate area. This subsidiary is likely to report sales of approx 60 crs and report its first year of profits.

Biotech :

KCP has a small biotech plant in Hyderabad. The company extracts natural colours from chillies, turmeric etc and exports it to South Africa, US, Japan and other EU countries. However, the current sales are extremely low and the company is still running the biotech facility like a testing centre. They are facing practical difficulties like getting uniform quality chillies and turmeric as there cannot be a variation in the colour extracted. Hence for the moment this division is going to remain extremely small while the company tries to make the operations commercially viable. This division has a small loss.

Financials:

From very rough calculations, the company sould do a consolidated turnover of close to Rs 250 crs in FY06 with a PAT of about 16 crs. On an equity base of 12.89 crs this gives an EPS of about 12.50. At the current price of 170, it trades at 13.5 times.

Property :

KCP holds some really prime property. The corporate office is located in Egmore just off Mount Road. The company has 30 grounds of posh property. Each ground = 2400 sq feet. MICO recently sold its property located close by at about 2crs per ground. On the basis of that the land value is 60 crs.

KCP had aquired 130 acres of land in Tiruvottiyur for their Engineering workshop about 40 years ago at about 500/acre. Tiruvottiyur is a suburb of Chennai, just a few kms from Parrys Centre. When KCP aquired the property, it was an industrial belt. However, Tiruvottiyur has now reportedly developed into a middle class residential locality. According to local real estate brokers, the land is going at about 1500/sq ft. Assuming its going at 1000/sq ft, the value of that property is about 500 crs.

The total long term debt of KCP is just about 6 crs. The mkt cap at the current price is 220 crs. So, total enterprise value is abt 230 crs. However, the company has said that they don't have any plans of unlocking the land value by either selling it or developing it.

Growth Plans :

On stabilisation of cement prices, the company would like to expand its cement capacity from 5 lakh tons per annum to 7.5 lakh tons per annum. Also the company wants to increase the capacity of its engineering workshop and expand the product range it offers. Depending on how the sugar subsidiary in Vietnam performs, an expansion plan may also be developed for it.

Negative concerns :

The company is extremely conservative and does not disclose any information on their operations. They do not reveal even basic information which makes it extremely difficult to make accurate projection of their profits. Also, as the company has so far said it isn't interested in unlocking value from its land holdings, this stock may remain significantly under invested as far as funds are concerned. However there is deep value in the stock.

Fair Value Calculations :

Real Estate :

Tiruvottiyur - 56 lakh sq ft @ 1000/sq ft - Rs 560 crs
Egmore - 30 grounds @ 2 crs / ground - Rs 60 crs

Total Real Estate Value - Rs 620 crs

Cement :

5 lakh tons @ us $ 70/ton - 154 crs

Hydropower :

8 mw @ 2crs/mw - 16 crs

Sugar Subsidiary :

Estimated profit - 6 crs
KCP's share @ 66% - 4 crs
PE @ 5

Total Value - 800 crs (This does not include the property in Hyderabad, Biotech division and Engineering division equipment)

pricol.....contra script

I examined the nine-month financial statement of Pricol Ltd.
In summary
a) The sales have increased marginally (7.4%) over the nine-month period in the last FY (2004)
b) Correspondingly, the PBT have fallen significantly (from 43.9 crs to 28.6 crs; a drop of 34.8%)c) Notice the rise in interest cost. The nine month interest cost is at 8.43 crs while the financing cost was 4.87 crs in the previous FY. (a 73% rise)
d) Net profit after tax, dep and interest (PAT) is at 22.9 crs while it was 28.09 crs for FY2004-05.

The balance sheet reads ...Share Capital - 9.00 crsLoans - 155.90 crsInvestments - 14.75 crsNet CA - 86.13 crsFV - 1.00 rupees per shareDividend per share - 1.00 rupeeCMP - 39.75 rupees/share (15-Mar)Thus, the NCAV (as per 2004-05 balance sheet would come to negative 7.75).

Estimating trends in FY2005-06, I find ...1. The profits for the year should be around 29 crs. This would mean a P/E of 12.08 on todays CMP.
2. There is no margin of safety here. The NCAV is infact, negative.
3. The company would be in a position to give a dividend of 75 paise only this yr due to the lower earnings. This comes to a 1.89% dividend yield.
4. There is no news of value on the stock too - although it has decent volumes on the bourses.

My take - this stock will not move much from this level for the next few weeks. Further improvements in the stock price will be a function of news or increase profitability. There is no hidden value in the stock that is visible.

i will start accumulating below 33-35 levels since its a value play...many mutual funds hold this script in their portfolio........a contra script

Chordia Food Products

Moneytimes has mentioned about this stock in Towertalk. The company is dividend paying (15 percent),low equity 2.58 crores,high book value Rs 55. The trigger is it is merging its Food procesing park with itself.At Rs 42 it looks like an attractive option as it will not just be a food procesing company but a company having a full fledged Food park.

There are some information extracted from company website and news papers
Chordia Food Products Ltd has informed BSE that a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company will be held on March 07, 2006, to consider the proposal to amalgamate, subject to the approval of Central Government, Shareholders, Creditors, Stock Exchanges and the Hon'ble High Court at Mumbai, Agri Food Park India Ltd a closely held non listed public limited company with the Company .Chordia Food Products Ltd


New food park for Pune Chordia Food Products of India is to create a new food park near the city of Pune at a cost of some Rs1 billion (€20.9m) over the next seven years. According to a report from Business Line in 2002 , the 100-acre park is designed to help small and medium-sized food processing companies in the area compete on a level playing field with the bigger players.
Pradeep Chordia, director of the Chordia Food Park, told Business Line that the first two years would see a total investment of around Rs120 million, with five boutique companies, five small-scale producer and one or two medium-sized firms leasing the first few units.
Chordia said the Ministry of Food Processing had already sanctioned the food park status to the project and had contributed Rs40 million to develop various facilities.
The park was also negotiating a number of concessions with the local authorities, he said, adding that the national government had already sanctioned about 25 per cent capital subsidy with an upper limit of Rs5 million for the units to set up their venture. Talks were also on with banks for reduced interest rates for the units.
The park will offer companies a complete range of facilities from processing, packaging, transportation and finance, and would even help them to market the products.
The food park is one of many springing up around India as companies see the potential in the processed food industry there. Chordia said that just 2 per cent of India's total produce was processed as against 70 per cent in developed nations.
The food processing sector is getting sufficient importance at the Central level and can change the face of the rural India, if given a right direction, according to Mr Pradeep Chordia, Managing Director, Chordia Food Products Ltd and Chairman of the Pune chapter of the All India Food Processors Association . He welcomed the focus on food processing, which has been identified as a job creating sector and priority sector status in bank lending among other things

karur kcp packing...more info

Karur KCP Packaging is basically an integrated packaging company. This company manufactures paper bag and polypropylene bags. They have fully integrated operations, which means that they manufacture extensible sack kraft paper which is used for making paper bags. They have got four units in all. Two units are located in Pondicherry and two are located in Karur district of Tamil Nadu.
This company is going in for a FCCB issue right now. The proceeds of the FCCB issue will be utilized for taking over another paper unit, which is located in Pondicherry, for capital expansion. Since this company mainly caters to the cement industry, there is a structural change that is happening there. We are seeing consolidation happening in the cement industry now and with the entry of companies like Lafarge and Holcim into the Indian market, I believe there is going to be an increased strength towards the use of more paper bags in the Indian market. In India we only use polypropylene and a very small percentage of paper bags. With their entry, there is gong to be a shift in the use of paper bags and this company being the only manufacturer of extensible sack kraft paper and one of the largest converters of sack kraft papers into paper bags, is going to be the biggest beneficiary of the changing trend.
Besides the opportunity, which is available to the company, it has been performing well too. For the first nine months of the current financial year, they have done a turnover close to Rs 160 crore and they have done a profit of around Rs 6 crore. For the full year, we expect the company to do a turnover of close to Rs 225- Rs 240 crore and a profit close to Rs 8-Rs 9 crore, which means an EPS of Rs 8-Rs 9. At the current price, the stock is discounted at about 10 times and given the potential opportunity for the company and the fact that they are the largest manufacturers of paper bags in India, the opportunities can be good.
So at the current price earning ratio of 10, it does not seem to be fully discounted. Next year, after they complete the FCCB issue and after they takeover another paper company, the turnover and profitability can also go up.
Another thing is that this company has got a debt of around Rs 100 crore. This company is also thinking of ways to restructure that debt and there is a possibility of a decrease of about 4-5% towards the interest cost. So this would mean decrease of about Rs 4-Rs 5 crore on a debt of Rs 100 crore and this goes straight in the bottomline of the company.

one shld buy on decline.....a price for 75 -78 looks good for accumulating....my personal view

Suryalakshmi Cotton Mills

Broking house, Angel Broking is bullish on Suryalakshmi CottonMills...It has maintained a 'buy' rating on the company with a target price ofRs 300.
Key highlights

Q3FY2006 financial performance*"Suryalakshmi Cotton Mills recorded an impressive Q3FY2006 performance on the back of de-merger of the low-margin spinning division at Mehbubnagar andnew capacities coming on stream. As a result of this de-merger, SCMLwitnessed a margin expansion of 14.1% on a YoY basis. However, margins on asequential basis declined on account of lower realizations in denim, whichdeclined from Rs 94 in Q2FY2006 to Rs 90 in Q3FY2006. Going ahead, we do notexpect realizations to further fall significantly. Besides, a sequential384bps increase in other overheads also affected the margins adversely.Positive contribution from new denim capacities*"SCML is implementing its Rs 120 crore (Rs 1.20 billion) capex plan in thecurrent fiscal to expand its denim capacity from 20 million meters per annumto 40 million meters per annum. The company has already commissioned anadditional weaving capacity of 10 million meters in September'05 and thebalance 10 million meters per annum capacity will commence production inApril'06.""With the expanded capacity coming on stream, SCML will become the thirdlargest manufacturer of denim fabric in India. Share of the Denim divisionto total revenues is expected to increase from 60.4% in FY2005 to 75.7% inFY2007 following expansion of capacity."*Value added products to be earnings accretive*"SCML has a wide range of 300 varieties of denim fabrics and its yarn andrope dyed denim capacities are acknowledged to be one of the finest acrossinternational markets. The company's revenues from value-added denim arealso on the rise following increase in capacities.""We expect the share of value-added denim to increase from 40% in FY2005 to80% in FY2007. The company's concentration on value added denim will help itmaintain its realizations and also help improve its margins and profits."*Garments to facilitate growth*"SCML is setting up a fully integrated denim garment capacity from spinning,dyeing, weaving to finishing. This complete integration will enable SCML tohave a stronghold and presence across the entire denim value chain. Thus,SCML has progressed from being a pre-dominantly yarn manufacturer to afabric manufacturer.""The company also commissioned trial production of its 10,000 pieces a daygarmenting facility in September'05. However, major revenues from the samewould get reflected in FY2007. Going forward, SCML has plans to increase itspresence in its garments business. Overall, SCML's conscious efforts toprogress up the value chain will positively reflect in its profits goingforward."*Yarn manufacturing expansion*"Post de-merger, SCML's spindleage stood at 16,032 which it proposes toincrease to 48,088 by end of this fiscal. Post this expansion; SCML willhave a yarn manufacturing capacity of 14,000 tpa. This new capacity willhelp SCML meet increasing demand for yarn."*Sources of funding*"SCML's expansion programme will be funded through a 1:3:1 mix of freshissue, TUFS and internal accruals.""Preferential allotment of 1,428,300 shares aggregating 10.68% of theexpanded capital has been done with UTI Investment Advisory Limited at Rs245 per share (21% premium to the current market price). This equityinfusion of Rs 35 crore (Rs 350 million) by UTI signifies its faith andexpectation of future profitability of the company."*Outlook and valuation*"SCML's Rs 200 crore (Rs 2 billion) capex is expected to yield betterreturns and enable SCML to have a complete command over the denim valuechain. SCML's foray into denim garments through subsidiary Surya Kiran willfurther enhance its competitiveness and improve its margins andprofitability. We believe that SCML is on track to meet our profit estimateof Rs 34 crore (Rs 340 million) for FY2006E and Rs 54.5 crore (Rs 545million) for FY2007E.""*At the CMP of Rs 204, the stock trades at 4.7x FY2007E EPS of Rs 42.9 and1.4x FY2007E book value. We maintain our Buy recommendation on the stockwith a target price of Rs 300*

granules---more info

Granules India is a different company in pharma space.Granules is getting ready with timely expansion of its facilities for Pharma formulation intermediaries[PFI],Active pharma ingredients[API], Granulation and Finished dosages.Thus Granules is going to become a 'ONE STOP INTEGRATED' solution provider to major pharma companies who want to outsource some of their processes.The ongoing expansion of API and Finished Dosage facilities at Bonthapally and Gagillapur should result in sharp increase in Granules topline as well as bottomline over next few quarters.Also, the fact that promoters have recently alloted themselves fresh equity @Rs.102/-per share gives comfort about their confidence in company's future.Granules fundamentals are also quite strong.With a bookvalue of Rs.61/-,trailing EPS of Rs.6/-[estimated for 2005-2006 Rs.8/-]and a growth rate of more than 50% Granules is a safe pharma play.
The fibre sheet cement industry is growing at 18-20% per annum on strong demand from industrial capacity expansion and the government’s thrust on rural housing. Taking into consideration the present economic scenario, the fibre cement sheet industry is likely to continue to grow for the next few years at a satisfactory double-digit rate. Against this backdrop, market leader Hyderabad Industries (HIL) continues to offer attractive investment opportunity.HIL operated in two segments: building products and heavy engineering. However, the company sold and transferred its heavy engineering (HE) division to Titagarh Wagons on 8 July 2005, and disposed of fixed assets at a loss of Rs 0.11 crore, which has already been provided. In the half year ended September 2005, net sales increased by 9% to Rs 219.33 crore driven by a 12% increase to Rs 204.18 crore in the revenue of the building products division. The operating profit increased by 80%, while the operating profit margin increased by 790 basis points to 20% on sale of the heavy engineering division. The other income was down 2% to Rs 1.75 crore and interest cost reduced by 61% to Rs 2.19 crore. After providing for depreciation (down 3% to Rs 4.11 crore), the profit before tax (PBT) before extraordinary items (EO) increased by 141% to Rs 39.21 crore. The entire amount on VRS (Rs 2.61 crore) was charged in the first quarter ended June 2005. Even then, PBT after EO was up 125% to Rs 36.60 crore. Total tax grew by a whopping 144% to Rs 15.15 crore. The profit after tax increased by 122% to Rs 22.33 crore.Thus, due to the impressive performance by the building products segment, HIL was able to raise its overall revenue and profit even after selling its heavy engineering division. According to the Union budget 2005-06, the government proposes to build 14,54,428 lakh rural houses in addition to a credit-cum-subsidiary scheme under the Indira Awas Yojana (IAY), for which the allocation has been increased from Rs 2500 crore in FY2005 to Rs 2750 crore in FY2006. This will result in an additional 15 lakh units. In addition to this, the budget also provides for setting up rural building centres and higher equity support to agencies like Hudco to improve the outreach of housing finance in rural areas. Higher spend for rural housing boosts demand for fibre cement products.In the industrial segment (which forms about 30% of the total demand), asbestos sheets are preferred over galvanised steel sheets due to better heat resistance, anti-rust qualities and lower prices. Corrugated roofing sheet are extensively used for roofing of industrial sheds, warehouses, poultry farms, shops. The expansion of industrial capacities and the overall buoyant economic scenario are boosting demand from this segment.HIL is the market leader in the Rs 1400-crore asbestos-based roofing industry, with a market share of 27% and the highest capacity of 4,72,000 tonnes. It has a strong marketing network across the country. Charminar, the company's well-known brand since the past 50 years in the building products market, particularly in fibre cement sheets, has established a credible record. HIL is introducing value- added products under Charminar to leverage the brand value. To be able to participate in the projected market growth and maintain its market share, HIL is now putting up new greenfield capacities. The first phase of this new plant will have a capacity of 1,20,000 tonnes per annum and will be operational in January 2006. Thus, the fourth quarter of the current year and the whole of FY 2007 will see the benefit from this capacity expansion. Moreover, as part of the inorganic growth, it recently acquired Malabar Building Products, which will be merged with the company.The benefits of the expanded capacities and acquisition of MBPL in a positive industry scenario augur well for future growth. The company’s book value will cross Rs 160 by end of FY2006, making it ripe for a bonus

On-going projects-are being put up in industrial towns of Bhiwadi, Neemrana in Rajasthan, Jamshedpur in Jharkhand and Ghaziabad and Greater Noida of UP. The corporate has concenterated on a niche, high demand consistent growth area of sub-urban India. To that extent this is a de-risked business venture, and one that offers phenomenal appreciation in land value over the coming years.At present the following projects are under implementation...-Ashiana Woodlands, Pardih, Jamshedpur which offers Villas, Exceutive Floors, Luxury Apartments with 3 Bedrooms; the bookings have opened.
