Strategic acquisition in Brazil

The Company has entered into Definitive Agreements for acquisition of Vale do Ivaí S.A. Açúcar e Álcool (“VDI”), a Brazilian sugar and ethanol production company. The acquisition includes two sugar and ethanol production facilities located in the Southern State of Parana with a combined cane crushing capacity of 3.1 mn Tons per annum. Brazil is the largest and among the lowest-cost producers of sugar in the world with strong growth potential in the medium and long-term. The global trade and imports into Asia are, in particular, significantly dependent on production surplus of sugar in Brazil. In addition, the area around India which is the Middle-East, South-Asia, East-Africa and Southeast-Asia are competitively covered distance wise from our two refineries in India. Hence, the Brazilian acquisition will make significant value additions to the Company in terms of long term viability.

Other significant developments

Athani plant: During the year, 180 KLPD distillery was made operational. The sugar manufacturing capacity of Athani plant was enhanced to 8,000 TCD from 6,000 TCD. Expansion of refinery is projected to complete by February 2010 which will enhance the capacity by 1,000 to 2,000 TPD.

Havalga plant: 25.5 MW co-generation facility and a 210 KLPD distillery became operational during the year. The installed and utilised capacity of sugar manufacturing unit is enhanced to 8,000 TCD from 4,000 TCD. A new refinery with a refining capacity of 1,000 TPD is under construction and projected to start its operation by February 2010.

The Company acquired a ready to commission 30MW co-generation power project at Panchganga in Maharashtra and other co-generation projects which were under development from Shree Renuka Energy Limited. Since the complete co-generation assets had been transferred to the Company, the equity stake held by the Company in Shree Renuka Energy Limited was divested and that company ceased to be the subsidiary of the Company.
