MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT, OUTLOOK
Aluminium Foil Packaging Industry
Aluminium foil, which is very commonly used in the packaging industry, is a continuous web of aluminium metal
rolled to thickness ranging from 6 microns to a maximum of 64 microns. Foil is available in many forms like light,
hard, soft (annealed), lubricated, non-lubricated, plain, coated, coloured, printed, embossed and laminated to a variety
of paper, polythene and synthetic films.

14
Aluminium foil inherits all the important characteristics from aluminium, which is why aluminium is a preferred
metal for manufacturing packaging foils.like good formability, odourless and tasteless, excellent printability and
Impermeability and non-absorptive to water, grease, oil and light. Aluminium packaging would rank higher than
most other packaging materials, like paper or glass with very low MVTR and MTR values. Because of all these
reasons, aluminium packaging material is the preferred material for packaging in the Pharmaceutical and Food &
FMCG sectors
Pharmaceutical industry is one of the major end-users of aluminium foils. The global pharmaceuticals market is
about USD 773 billion in size. North America, Europe and Japan jointly account for 82% of the audited and
unaudited drug sales (Source: IMS Health, Industry Research).
The Indian Pharmaceutical Industry ranks 14th in the global league table, with sales of almost USD 19 billion in
March 2009 (Source: Department of Pharmaceuticals, Third Round Up of Developments in the Pharmaceutical
Sector – July, 2009). It is expected to rise to USD 50 million by 2020, climbing to be one of the industry’s top 10
markets (Source: Industry Research). Key triggers for this growth are the expanding economy and increasing per
capita GDP, amongst others.
Indian pharmaceutical industry has witnessed average annual growth of about 14% during the past three years
(Source: Industry Research). Indian pharmaceutical industry is expected to sustain average annual growth of 12-14% in
the long term (Source: Industry Research). This is expected to drive demand for aluminium foils
The Indian processed food industry size is estimated at Rs. 2,800 billion; including Rs. 1,000 billion of value added
products (Source: Ministry of Food Processing Industries, Government of India). The Indian processed food industry is
expected to witness a healthy annual growth in the long term. This is expected to drive demand for aluminium foils.
The company derives the demand for its products mainly from the pharmaceutical and FMCG industry. The role of
packaging is paramount here as the packaging is directly in touch with the medicines and requires extremely high
quality and standards to be maintained. The company has forayed into the FMCG and retail space. Here the role of
packaging is multi- dimensional as it not only produces the products but also enhances its brand recall and gives it a
unique identity. With increased investments from private players the organized retail segment is expected to grow.
The aluminium consumption in the packaging is driver primarily by growing application in personal care products
(FMCG) Pharmaceuticals formulation and processed foods. Growing consumption followed by sharp rise in income
levels of, growing middle class, changing Indian demographic and advent of organized market will the Company’s
growth strategy.
OPERATIONS
Your Company operates in single segment i.e Advanced Packaging Solutions.
The company’s foil rolling mill expanded capacity was at 37000 tons during the year. The PVC unit continued with
stable operations and the Coating and laminating unit worked at full capacity during the year.
With core competency in aluminium packaging, your company has extended its product portfolio to include specialized
packaging for the food and FMCG sectors. Your company has established itself as a leading supplier of primary
packaging materials and as a specialist in providing tailor made aluminium foil based flexible packaging laminates and
PVC & PVDC coated PVC based thermoforming solutions. Resultantly, your company is first in India to manufacture
dedicated high-end pharma packaging products like cold form blister and child-resistant blister packaging. The
quality of your company’s product portfolio has been significantly enhanced by sophisticated and technologically
advanced products. The new pharmaceutical applications include cold form blister packs, oral rehydration salts,
PVDC-coated PVC, child resistant packs, cough lozenges, and anti-TB combo packs.
Your company has also established presence in the prophylactics segment and has been entrusted with the task of
providing specialized aluminium foil based laminates for large contraceptive brands. Our facility at Daman has been
approved by contraceptive manufacturing companies like TTK and Hindustan Latex.
The plant in Daman also offers cost-effective aluminium foil based laminates to the food and FMCG sectors. Many
products that we intend to make are import substitutes and will facilitate usage expansion.

15
India is passing through an economic growth phase and resultantly witnessing the opening up of retail chains across
the country and consequent demand for increased packaging requirements. Aluminium foil remains best suited for
products requiring longer shelf life and preservation of properties.
The pharmaceutical companies are faced with the threat of counterfeit packaging solution from the spurious suppliers.
Your company has been endeavoring to provide innovative packaging solutions to pharmaceutical companies to
thwart the menace of spurious drugs.
Aluminium sheet is the major raw material which is imported from GARMCO, Bahrain. Company enjoys very
cordial relationship with the supplier having bagged the “best customer award” for two consecutive years.
STRENGTHS:
• State of Art manufacturing and R&D facility
• Strategic plant location facilitating PAN India presence.
• Market leader in the organized segment
• Derisked business with diverse and innovative products catering to different segments
• Reputed client base
OPPORTUNITIES
• The Indian packaging Industry currently estimated at US $ 14 billion is growing at 14-15% annually
• Organised retail market segment is expected to grow at the rate of 30-35% in the next 3-4 years
• The food and grocery segment is grossly underrepresented and offers strong growth potential in the coming
year
• FMCG segment is aligning its products with special emphasis on packaging to build brand equity and good
recall value.
• Strong growth opportunities in china and other world markets.
• India to involve into fast growing pharmaceutical packaging markets especially in area of generic ethical
drug
• The Indian and global markets are bullish and offers significant opportunities for capital infusion to fund
capex need.
RISKS & CONCERNS:
The major risks and concerns attributed to the performance of the Company are:
1. Increase in aluminium prices may have a negative impact on our financial performance.
Aluminium foil stock (Aluminium Sheets) is the primary raw material for our packaging products. Purchases
of aluminium foil stock accounted for around 44.63% of our sales and 56.10% of our total cost in Fiscal
2010. Costs of procuring Aluminium foil stock forms a significant portion of our raw material costs.
Numerous factors, most of which are beyond our control, drive the cycles of the aluminium industry and
influence aluminium prices. Some of these factors include general economic conditions, availability and ease
of access to bauxite mines, worldwide production capacity, capacity-utilization rates, fuel prices, a slowdown
in basic manufacturing industries, import duties and other trade restrictions and currency exchange rates. If
there is an upward movement in the prices of Aluminium, this would increase our cost of raw materials and
hence increase our cost of manufacturing.
We do not enter into any price contracts with our supplier of raw materials; hence, we have to bear the effect
of any changes in Aluminium prices.

2. Our Company relies on GARMCO, our single-largest supplier of our primary raw material viz.
aluminium foil stock and will continue to rely in the near future.

Our Company is dependent on GARMCO, Bahrain for supplies of its basic raw material viz. aluminium foil
stock. Currently, we do not have any agreement with GARMCO. While we believe that we can find additional
vendors to supply raw materials, any failure of our existing supplier to deliver these raw materials in the

16
desired quantities or to adhere to delivery schedules or specified quality standards and technical specifications
would adversely affect our production schedule and our ability to deliver orders on time and at the desired
level of quality.
3. Majority of our orders are short term and fixed price contracts.
Our product profile and the industry segment which we cater to facilitate only short term contracts. The
supply contracts which we enter into with our customers are usually for a short term, more often catering to
a particular batch of products produced by the customers. This does not facilitate a long term visibility of
revenues. Further, most of our contracts are fixed price contracts, whereby we do not have the provision to
change the sale price of our products during the tenure of the contract.
4. Our business is significantly dependent on pharmaceutical, food and FMCG sector.
Our Company primarily caters to the packaging requirements of pharmaceutical, food and FMCG sectors.
As a result, any negative impact on pharmaceutical, food and FMCG sectors may adversely impact demand
for our products. The earnings growth and future prospects of our customers engaged in the aforesaid
industries in India and abroad, will have an impact on our ability to generate sales. Any adverse impact on
Indian economy specifically in relation to the aforesaid industries or the aluminium foil industry will have an
impact on our performance and results of operations.
The Company has always been sensitive to risks associated with its business and has evolved decisive response
systems. Our business models have built in process for identifying and mitigating risks coupled with adequate internal
controls and audit processes.
INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS & THEIR ADEQUACY
Your company has an instituted an internal control system for all its units to ensure efficiency of operations,
financial reporting, proper recording and safeguarding of assets, compliance with applicable laws and regulations,
etc. This internal controls testing, forms the basis of CFO certificates under clause 49. The company has also
appointed a firm of Chartered Accountants as Internal auditors, who review the various functions of the
company thoroughly and report to the Audit Committee. The Company uses an Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) package, which enhances the internal control Mechanism.
The adequacy of the same has been reported by the statutory auditors of your company in their report as required
under the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003.
AUDITORS & AUDITORS’ REPORT
