EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS:-

As per the guide lines issued by Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and Ministry of Corporate Affairs the Company has booked the foreign exchange gain/loss on mark to market basis.

FUTURE STRATEGIES:-

Pigments:

Global demand to rise 3.9% yearly through 2013

The size of the global pigment and dyestuff market is estimated at USD 13.9 Bn in 2009. Of this, the size of the organic pigment market is estimated at USD 9.1 Bn. The market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% to emerge as a USD 16.9 Bn market by2013.

The organic pigment market is expected to grow at a faster pace as compared to the dyestuff market. In volume terms, demand will grow 3.5 percent annually to 2.3 million metric tons. While the textile industry will remain the largest consumer of dyes and organic pigments, faster growth is expected in other markets such as printing inks, paint and coatings, and plastics. Strong gains will occur in the Asia/Pacific region and, to a lesser extent, other developing regions such as the Africa/Mideast region and Eastern Europe, while market maturity will limit advances in North America and Western Europe.

The downturn seen in 2009 continued in2010 with some improvements. We expect the market to stabilize in 2011. High raw material cost will no longer be a critical issue in 2011. Despite this expected market condition, we continue to expect pigment users to seek alternate sources affording reasonable growth in 2011 and beyond.

Agrochemicals

The global agrochemical industry is expected to grow at 8.9% CAGR to touch USD 78.3 Bn by 2014, on account of many reasons unparalleled grain prices resulting in increase in demand for pesticides, favorable weather conditions in many parts of the world, increase in crop acreage, etc while Indian market is set to grow 12-15%, given the low penetration and the rising income levels of farmers.

NEW AGROCHEMICAL MANUFACTURING FACILITY AT DAHEJ TO MANUFACTURE 2,4-DANDMCAA

In order to leverage the inherent strengths of global presence and customer confidence, along with the availability of basic raw materials like caustic soda and chlorine from in-house source, MOL has invested in projects for manufacture of 2,4-D - a widely used herbicide, as well as Monochloroacetic acid (MCAA) - the intermediate for 2,4-D; also having many other applications. Both the products have vast growth potential, as the global market for them is huge and growing rapidly.

MOL has also started production of Trichloroacetyl chloride (TCAC), a backward integration project for its insecticide - Chlorpyriphos. The Company has last year expanded its production capacity for Chlorpyriphos The entire project proposal is interlinked with the in-house availability of caustic soda and chlorine. The mother liquor generated during manufacture of TCAC is used in production of MCAA. TCAA is used in production of Chlorpyriphos and MCAA is used in production of 2,4-D. Both TCAC and MCAA use caustic soda and chlorine which are steadily available through pipeline from the adjoining complex of Meghmani FineChem Limited. The projects are synergistic and would result in reduction in cost of production for the connected products. All these projects have been set up at CH-1+2A, GIDC Dahej.

The cost of the Project is firmed up at Rs. 84 Crores. The Project is funded byway of term loan of Rs. 51 Crores and Rs. 33 Crores by way of Internal Accruals. The implementation of the entire chain of new projects is to be undertaken in a phased manner. The operation of MCAA and TCAC is to start in 01 July,2010 and in the Second phase, 2,4-D is likely to start operation by 01 October, 2010.

AGROCHEMICAL FORMULATION EXPANSION AT PANOLIANKLESHWAR

MOL has also set up plant at Panoli, Ankleshwar, for formulation of its active pesticides, to meet the increased demand based on focused efforts for market penetration in retail / branded segment both locally as well as in global markets. An investment of around Rs. 3 Crore has been made, with a planned turnover of Rs.50 crore in 2010-11. The Plant started commercial production on 30th September, 2009. This has been a strategic investment, made with a view to free some of the formulation capacities at Chharodi and Ankleshwar plants and utilize them in a more meaningful manner for manufacture of high value active ingredients. In-house R&D efforts for launch of new generation pesticides are currently on at a priority level. The new formulation plant is likely to boost our presence in markets like Asia, North & Latin America, Africa, Central Asia & East European markets.

Registrations

The focus for the year has remained Brazil and the African markets, as well as getting registrations of three products with the Word Health Organization (WHO) and Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) under United Nations, which would allow us access to vast tenders floated by these agencies for humanitarian work. To date, 162 registrations have already been received and 440 registrations are applied for in different parts of the world. We have 131 registration of Central Insecticides Board (CIB) of India.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Last year, our in house Research and Development unit at our Chharodi plant got recognition from DepartmentofScientificand industrial Research (DSIR), Government of India, Ministry of Science and Technology. It will boost the R&D activities of the Company in off-patent molecules, improvements in process parameters, time cycle optimization, waste management, cost reduction and scale up of new technology from laboratory to production level.
