mainly because of adverse market effect. Other income has increased to
Rs. 148.86 lacs from Rs. 3.55 lacs in the previous year due to sale of
properties.
DEVELOPMENT OF NEW BUSINESS - BARREL MANUFACTURING PLANT
The company is already engaged in manufacturing Seed Processing
Barrels. This product contributed Rs.330 Lakh the year 2011-12 as
against Rs.170 Lakh in 2010-11.
The Company after careful market research thought to diversify in to
other products and accordingly decided to enter into manufacturing of
M. S. and G. I. Barrels on the vacant space available in the premises
of the Company. Proposed plant is to manufacture 10,000 Nos. per month
standard barrels of 210 liters capacity.
The management has collected some details from market about the
production capacities of various Barrel plants located in Gujarat. As
per the information available total production capacity of these plants
works out to 250,000 to 310,000 barrels per month. Of these three major
suppliers are located in Daman/ Silvasa and cater to both Gujarat and
Maharashtra and they account for 170,000 to 200,000 barrels per month.
The second group of manufacturers, four in numbers, account for around
50,000 to 80,000 barrels per month. Other manufacturers account for
around 32,000 to 40,000 barrels per month.
While analyzing the capacity and capability, the management feels that
by adding standard types of barrels will give company reach into
industry other than agribusiness area. This will reach out the market
throughout the year and insulate from the cyclical demand from the
Agriculture based market for seed processing barrels.
The management at present has planned to enter the standard barrel
market as it has a wide application across different industries from
chemicals to agro-based products.
As per the study by the management demand for standard barrels is
around 100,000 barrels per month in Gujarat region and with new
chemical plants coming up in SEZ like Dahej and Hajira the demand is
expected to shoot up. As the nearness to user saves cost of
transportation the management intends to compete with the supplies from
outside Gujarat and also take slice from the new demand that is being
created. The management has already put the marketing team in action
and as per the estimate the company can consider at least 10,000 to
12,000 barrels per month from the first year operations. The management
has already planned and commenced implementation and establishing
manufacturing facilities at the existing manufacturing facility of the
company.
