Strong Value Chain
We have integrated production plants that enable us to ensure a steady supply of raw material to
control the quality of our pipes and fittings. The process starts with importing the raw material Ethylene
dichloride (EDC), Ethylene, Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) and coal from international markets. They are
stored in bulk at our plant in Ratnagiri, and used for manufacturing PVC resin. The advantage of a captive
power plant is that it ensures a steady power supply and reduces the manufacturing costs. The majority
of the PVC resin manufactured is transported to our PVC pipes and fittings manufacturing plants. The rest
is sold in the open market. At the PVC pipes and fittings plants, numerous products are manufactured
which are transported to our dealers and various warehouses around the country.

A Conservation of energy
a) Energy Conservation measures taken:
VCM, PVC and CPP Plant
• Gave Motor Feeder control supply through UPS to avoid de-latching of
electromagnetic contactors, due to Voltage dip, which otherwise used to result
in tripping of crucial service motors in cracker unit leading further to plant
shutdown. One such trip results in approximate 70 MT production loss.
• Indirect heat recovery from hot effluent of Poly reactors implemented for line 1
and 2 in this year on similar basis as for line 3 in last year. Direct heat recovery
system was not working due to fouling of air heater coils and cleaning not
possible without a major shutdown. The Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) used for
indirect heat transfer is periodically cleaned and operation continued without
down time. This has resulted in steam saving of 0.8 ton per hour.
• C
eramic insulators were replaced with Polymeric insulators at 220 KV voltage
level to avoid corona. This avoided chances of insulator failure thereby avoiding
unwanted trip at 220 KV level.
• T
hree poly reactors’ internal surface was electro-polished to improve heat
transfer coefficient thereby reducing reaction time by 45 minutes to result in
increased productivity.
• S
econd PVC cooling tower was upgraded with high surface area fills fitting in
available space to lower down approach to wet bulb temperature which resulted
in improved cooling water supply temperature.
• A
PHE installed to replace a shell and tube interchanger in recycle Ethylene Di
Chloride (EDC) chlorination inlet versus outlet streams saved 0.4 ton per hour
steam. Former one could not work efficiently as the Long Mean Temperature
Difference (LMTD) of heat transfer is very low.
• In Ethylene terminal facility added new low capacity cooling water pumps to cater
to the normal demand. High capacity pumps were designed for re-liquefaction
load which were being run for normal demand also. With this change there is a
power saving of 25 kWh.
b)
Additional investments proposals if any, being planned for reduction in
consumption of energy.
• Presently Demineralised Water (DM) water from Off sites is pumped to Captive
Power Plant (CPP) with multistage pumps. As head requirement for this duty
is less, it is proposed either to modify existing pumps with less number of

stages or to install a new low head pump for required duty so as to save power
OVERVIEW
consumption.
• U
pgradation of one cell of PVC cooling tower with Gelvanised Iron (GI) structure
replacing old timber structure for higher durability and increased air volume. This
will improve the cooling water approach by 0.5 degree.
Impact of the measures at a) and b) above for reduction of energy consumption and
consequent impact on the cost of production of goods.
STRATEGIC REPORT
- Resulted in reduction in consumption of energy and cost of production of goods.
Technology absorption
Research and Development (R&D)
Specific areas in which R&D efforts have been put in by company are:
Statutory Reports
• A continuous process for reduction of Chloro-acetaldehyde (CAA) impurity in furnace
EDC to replace the batch process avoiding the losses encountering due to double
handling of EDC. Caustic requirement for this process of CAA destruction is also
reduced to as good as NIL resulting in saving in caustic.
• A
pellet machine is installed to convert garden garbage into useful fuel pellets. This
system is comprised of shredders, a conveyor feeder and a pellet machine & a
cyclone dust controller to reduce dusting during shredding operation. These pellets
are used in specially made stoves for preparing food in employee canteen. This is
in line with company’s policy of opting for renewable energy sources wherever
possible.
• C
type drift eliminators replaced with S type drift eliminators in one of 4 cells of
power plant sea water cooling tower. This reduced the drift losses by 90%, thereby
reducing sea water induced corrosion of nearby structure.
• A
coustic hood installed for two Aerzen air blowers (K4801 A,B) in the PVC conveying
system resulted in reduction of noise level from 105 dB to 93 dB.
• C
PP coal transfer tower T4 in coal handling system supporting the coal transfer belt
is covered with PVC sheets in north end to avoid sea water corrosion.
1 Benefits derived as a result of the above R&D

-Improvement in reaction efficiencies
- Improvement in on stream time
- Conservation of base material
- Environmental protection and effluent quality improvement
2 Future plans
• S type drift eliminators will be installed in remaining three cells of the sea water
cooling tower of power plant to reduce drift losses thereby reducing sea water
induced corrosion of surrounding structure..

• Installation of additional Antioxidant dosing system in Monomer recovery plant to
dose antioxidants at compressor discharge header to control Auto-polymerization.
• Installation of PHE instead of shell tube condenser for Recovered VCM

condensation in Monomer recovery unit to overcome frequent condenser fouling
problem.
• U
pgradation of cooling tower in Recycle water plant to pultruded- FRP tower for
durability and stoppage of wood in repair work.
• A
humidity meter will be installed in air cooling duct of the turbo generator for in
time identification of leak of water cooler tubes.
• A
moisture analyzer will be installed in Lube oil and control oil circuit to identify
Lube oil cooler tube leak in time to avoid turbo generator bearing failure.
• T
o improve safety, an interlock will be provided such that Boilers’ ESP doors can
be opened for any maintenance only if and when ESP transformer is isolated.

Withdrawal rate 1% increase (7.22) (11.22) (10.52)
1% decrease 8.02 12.46 11.68
The sensitivity analysis above have been determined based on a method that extrapolates
the impact on the defined benefit obligation as a result of reasonable changes in key
assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period. The sensitivity analysis is
based on a change in one significant assumption at a time, keeping all other assumptions
constant. The sensitivity analysis may not be representative of an actual change in the
defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that changes in assumptions would occur in
isolation of one another.
The same method has been applied for the sensitivity analysis as when calculating the
recognised defined benefit obligation.

The management assessed that cash and short-term deposits, trade receivables, trade
payables, bank overdrafts and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts
largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which
the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties,
other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were
used to estimate the fair values.
Non-current investments
The fair value of investments in quoted equity shares is based on the respective quoted
price in the active markets as at the measurement date.
The fair value of investments in unquoted equity shares has been estimated using the
net asset method. The valuation requires to consider the cost of replacement of an
asset as an indication of the fair market value of that asset.
Current investments
The Company’s current investments consist of investment in units of mutual funds and
quoted non-convertible debentures. The fair value of investments in mutual funds is
derived from the NAV of the respective units in the active market at the measurement
date. The fair value of the non-convertible debentures is derived from quoted market
prices in active markets at the measurement date.

payables and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is
to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include
investments, trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents that arrive directly from
its operations.

management oversees the management of these risks. The Company’s management
is supported by a risk management committee that advise on financial risks and the
appropriate financial risk governance framework. The risk management committee
provides assurance to the Company’s management that the Company’s financial risk

OVERVIEW
activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks
are identified, measured and managed in accordance with Company’s policies appetite.
It is the Company’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be
undertaken. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of
these risks, which are summarised below.
STRATEGIC REPORT
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument
will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise threetypes
of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk such as equity price risk and
commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings
and investments.
Statutory Reports
The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31,
2017 and March 31, 2016.
The sensitivity analysis have been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debt
and the ratio of fixed-to floating interest rates of the debt are all constant as at March
31, 2017 and March 31, 2016.
The sensitivity of the relevant statement of profit and loss item is the effect of the
assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and
financial liabilities held at March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016.
Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument
will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has short term
borrowings with fixed interest rates and hence the future cash-flows of relevant financial
instrument are not affected by changes in market interest rate.
Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the
risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to its operating activities on
account of import of raw materials.
PVC pricing is on import parity and import parity value of sales of the Company
approximately equates the USD payables on a six monthly rolling basis due to which
a natural hedge exists and hence the Company does not generally need to resort to
hedging by way of forward contracts, options, etc.
Nature of exposure Currency As at As at As at
Borrowings (Secured) USD 145.23 168.30 645.69
Trade payables USD 271.94 311.27 182.39

involve the ongoing purchase of Vinyl Chloride Monomer (‘VCM’), Ethylene and Ethylene
Dichloride (‘EDC’), all being petrochemical products, and manufacturing of PVC and
pipes and fittings and therefore require a continuous supply of these materials. Prices
of PVC manufactured by the Company are monitored by company management and are
adjusted to respond to change in import parity price of PVC in Indian market. Market
price of input and output, generally get adjusted over a period of time. Accordingly, the
company is exposed to the variation in commodity prices over short term period.
Commodity price sensitivity

47. Standards issued but not yet effective

In March 2017, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) (Amendments) Rules, 2017, notifying amendments to Ind AS 7, ‘Statement
of cash flows’ and Ind AS 102, ‘Share-based payment.’ These amendments are in
accordance with the recent amendments made by International Accounting Standards
Statutory Reports
Board (IASB) to IAS 7, ‘Statement of cash flows’ and IFRS 2, ‘Share-based payment,’
respectively. The amendments are applicable to the Company from April 1, 2017.
Amendment to Ind AS 7:
The amendment to Ind AS 7 requires the entities to provide disclosures that enable users
of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities,
including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes, suggesting
inclusion of a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the balance
sheet for liabilities arising from financing activities, to meet the disclosure requirement.
The Company is evaluating the requirements of the amendment and the effect on the
financial statements is being evaluated.

The amendment to Ind AS 102 provides specific guidance to measurement of cash-
settled awards, modification of cash-settled awards and awards that include a net
settlement feature in respect of withholding taxes.
Since the Company does not have cash settled awards or awards with net settlement
features, this amendment does not have any effect on the financial statements of the
Company

37 Segment Information
For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their
products and has three reportable segments, as follows:
1 PVC – engaged in producing and distributing PVC resin
2 Pipes and fittings – engaged in producing and distributing pipes and fittings required
principally in the agriculture and construction industries
3 Power – engaged in generation of power for captive consumption
No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating
segments. The management monitors the operating results of its business units
separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and
performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss
that is measured consistently with profit or loss in the financial statements. The Group’s
financing (including finance costs and finance income) and income taxes are not allocated
to operating segments.

Geographic information
In the year ended 31st March 2015, 31st March 2016 and 31st March 2017 the Group
catered mainly to the needs of the Indian markets. Export turnover during each year
was less than 10% of the total turnover. Hence, there are no reportable geographical
segments.
38 Earnings Per Share

Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity
holders of the parent by the weighted average number of Equity shares outstanding
during the year.
There are no potential shares that have a dilutive effect on the EPS.

Withdrawal rate 1% increase (7.22) (11.22) (10.52)
1% decrease 8.02 12.46 11.68
The sensitivity analyses above have been determined based on a method that extrapolates
the impact on the defined benefit obligation as a result of reasonable changes in key
assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period. The sensitivity analysis is
based on a change in one significant assumption at a time, keeping all other assumptions
constant. The sensitivity analysis may not be representative of an actual change in the
defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that changes in assumptions would occur in
isolation of one another.

The same method has been applied for the sensitivity analysis as when calculating the
recognised defined benefit obligation.

OVERVIEW
The management assessed that cash and short-term deposits, trade receivables, trade
payables, bank overdrafts and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts
largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which
the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties,
STRATEGIC REPORT
other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were
used to estimate the fair values.
The fair value of investments in quoted equity shares is based on the respective quoted
price in the active markets as at the measurement date.
Statutory Reports
The fair value of investments in unquoted equity shares has been estimated using the
net asset value method. The valuation requires to consider the cost of replacement of
an asset as an indication of the fair market value of that asset.
Current investments
The Group’s current investments consist of investment in units of mutual funds and
quoted non-convertible debentures. The fair value of investments in mutual funds is
derived from the NAV of the respective units in the active market at the measurement
date. The fair value of the non-convertible debentures is derived from quoted market
prices in active markets at the measurement date.
Description of significant unobservable inputs to valuation:

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements categorised
within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, together with a quantitative sensitivity analysis

44. Financial risk management objective and policies

The Group’s principal financial liabilities comprise short term borrowings, trade payables
STRATEGIC REPORT
and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance
the Group’s operations. The Group’s principal financial assets include investments, trade
receivables and cash and cash equivalents that arrive directly from its operations.
The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s management
oversees the management of these risks. The Group’s management is supported by a
risk management committee that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial
Statutory Reports
risk governance framework. The risk management committee provides assurance to the
Group’s management that the Group’s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate
policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed
in accordance with Group’s policies appetite. It is the Group’s policy that no trading in
derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Board of Directors reviews
and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument
will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise three types
of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk such as equity price risk and
commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings
and investments.
The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31,
2017 and March 31, 2016.
The sensitivity analyses have been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debt
and the ratio of fixed-to floating interest rates of the debt are all constant as at March
31, 2017 and March 31, 2016.
The sensitivity of the relevant statement of profit and loss item is the effect of the
assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and
financial liabilities held at March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016.
Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument
will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group has short term
borrowings with fixed interest rates and hence the future cash-flows of relevant financial
instrument are not affected by changes in market interest rate.

Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to the
risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to its operating activities on
account of import of raw materials.
PVC pricing is on import parity and import parity value of sales of the Group approximately
equates the USD payables on a six monthly rolling basis due to which a natural hedge
exists and hence the Group does not generally need to resort to hedging by way of
forward contracts, options, etc.
Nature of exposure Currency As at As at As at
Borrowings (Secured) USD 145.23 168.30 645.69
Trade payables USD 271.94 311.27 182.39
EUR 0.86 - -

The Group is affected by the volatility of certain commodities. Its operating activities
involve the ongoing purchase of Vinyl Chloride Monomer (‘VCM’), Ethylene and Ethylene
Dichloride (‘EDC’), all being petrochemical products, and manufacturing of PVC and
pipes and fittings and therefore require a continuous supply of these materials. Prices of
PVC manufactured by the Group are monitored by Group management and are adjusted
to respond to change in import parity price of PVC in Indian market. Market price of
input and output, generally get adjusted over a period of time. Accordingly, the Group is
exposed to the variation in commodity prices over short term period.
The following table shows the effect of price changes for VCM, Ethylene EDC after the
impact of hedge accounting:
March 31, 2017
VCM +5% (2,862.63)

STRATEGIC REPORT

Equity price risk

The Group’s listed and unlisted equity securities are susceptible to market-price risk
arising from uncertainties about future values of the investment securities. The Group
manages the equity price risk through diversification and placing limits on individual and
total equity instruments. Reports on the equity portfolio are submitted to the Group’s
management on a regular basis. The Group’s Board of Directors reviews and approves
Statutory Reports
all equity investment decisions.
At the reporting date, the exposure to unlisted equity securities at fair value was
` 862.68 Lakhs . A decrease of 10% in the fair value will have an impact of approximately
` 86.23 Lakhs on OCI and ` 0.01 on Profit and loss or equity attributable to the Group.
An increase of 10% in the value of the securities would also impact OCI, profit and loss
and equity.

At the reporting date, the exposure to listed equity securities at fair value was
` 114,662.86 Lakh. A decrease of 10% on the NSE market index could have an impact
of approximately ` 1,162.27 Lakh on OCI and ` 4.02 Lakh on Profit and loss or equity
attributable to the Group. An increase of 10% in the value of the listed securities would
also impact OCI, profit and loss and equity.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial
instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group evaluates credit
risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its payment terms are mostly advance
basis.
Financial instruments and cash deposits

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Group’s
treasury department in accordance with the Group’s policy. Investments of surplus
funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to
each counterparty. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Company’s Board of
Directors on an annual basis, and may be updated throughout the year subject to approval
of the Company’s Finance Committee. The limits are set to minimise the concentration
of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through potential counterparty’s failure to
make payments. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of
the statement of financial position is the carrying amounts as illustrated in Notes 13-15.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Group will not be able to settle or meet its
obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Group’s finance department is responsible
for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and
polices related to such risk are overseen by Senior management. Management monitors
the Group’s net liquidity position on a monthly and quarterly basis through its Senior
management meeting and board meetings. They use rolling forecasts on the basis of
expected cash flows.
The senior management focuses on reducing the outflow in working capital via, reducing
the inventory as at end of any period, reducing the trade receivable balances. The Senior
management ensures that the future cash flow needs are met through cash flow from
the operating activities and short term borrowings from banks.
The Group assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and
concluded it to be low. Access to sources of funding is sufficiently available and debt
maturing within 12 months can be rolled over with existing lenders.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities
based on contractual undiscounted payments:

OVERVIEW
45. Capital management
Capital includes equity shares and other equity attributable to the equity holders of the
Group. The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it
maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business
and maximise shareholder value. The Group manages its capital structure and makes
STRATEGIC REPORT
adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the
capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return
capital to shareholders or issue new shares.

capital plus net debt. The Group’s policy is to keep low gearing ratio. The Group includes
within net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings, less cash and cash deposits.

Lakhs relating to period April 1, 2011 to March 31, 2014. This has been recognised as an
exceptional item in the financial statements.
47. Standards issued but not yet effective

In March 2017, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) (Amendments) Rules, 2017, notifying amendments to Ind AS 7, ‘Statement
of cash flows’ and Ind AS 102, ‘Share-based payment.’ These amendments are in
accordance with the recent amendments made by International Accounting Standards

Board (IASB) to IAS 7, ‘Statement of cash flows’ and IFRS 2, ‘Share-based payment,’
respectively. The amendments are applicable to the Group from April 1, 2017
The amendment to Ind AS 7 requires the entities to provide disclosures that enable users
of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities,
including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes, suggesting
inclusion of a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the balance
sheet for liabilities arising from financing activities, to meet the disclosure requirement.
The Group is evaluating the requirements of the amendment and the effect on the
financial statements is being evaluated.

The amendment to Ind AS 102 provides specific guidance to measurement of cash-
settled awards, modification of cash-settled awards and awards that include a net
settlement feature in respect of withholding taxes.
Since the Group does not have cash settled awards or awards with net settlement
features, this amendment does not have any effect on the financial statements of the
Group.
