The juggernaut rolls on...


IIPM Publication

Mukesh Oil is life... at Reliancehas ensured that RIL continues to lead in three critical benchmarks of excellence – raise money from the market at cheaper rates than the competition, complete all outstanding projects on schedule and dictate the pricing mechanism in every segment they enter. The Jamnagar unit in Gujarat, with a capability of 33 MMTPA is the biggest green field project across the orb, bringing together a complex plant that has a captive power incorporated with petrochemicals. With the expansion processes being undertaken on a major scale, Reliance Petroleum should start functioning in full capacity by the month of December next year. The sheer size & scale of this project should make Jamnagar the next big refining destination of the globe and in the process, also ensure that RIL further strengthens its overwhelming price leadership in the petrochemicals arena. The company is also setting up an acrylic monomer complex with a capacity of 200,000 TPA in an MoU with US-based Rohm & Haas. There were also rumours of an attempt to form a JV with Dow Chemicals, which did not ultimately see the light of day.

The all pervasive Tata!


IIPM BEST B-SCHOOL

Just count the zeros, $30 billion in the next 3-5 years.


Blink The all pervasive Tata!once & you might risk missing out some expansion or acquisition plan by the Tata group. With a stupendous Rs.1.6 trillion expansion plan announced in 2006, the Tatas seem to have decided that they have to move far ahead of the rest. Six Tata group companies featured in the B&E Power list, with combined profits worth $2.83 billion.

In early 2007, Tata Steel took the world by the storm when it decided to acquire Anglo-Dutch steel maker Corus for a highly profligate sum of $12 billion. Tata Tea made a $677 million acquisition of Glaceau (which it sold off to Coca Cola recently for $1.2 billion). The Taj Group initiated the Ginger group of hotels venture during the period. The Tatas also initiated the Infiniti chain of retail stores in late 2006.

The Six companies in the list of 100 most profi table companies & combined profi ts worth $2.83 billiongroup has caused it’s fair share of controversy too, in particular with the Rs. 1 lakh car plant in Singur, West Bengal. Besides, the group does faces great risk due to a higher debt-equity ratio. No risk, no gain, as they say!

The current Outstanding order book of the top three in capital goods is at a whopping $25 billion

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Larsen & Toubro (L&T), Bharat Electronics Ltd. and Kirloskar Brothers are the major companies from the sector, which have made it to the B&E list of 100 most profitable companies. Despite the rising cost of raw material, the earnings visibility and margins of the companies in the sector have improved, thanks to the robust order flows. BHEL grabbed rank one in the capital goods sector notching up profits of Rs.24.15 billion, 44% higher than last year. L&T, with its 39% higher profits of Rs.14.03 billion, ranked second in the sector. The company had revenues of Rs.179.01 billion; 18% of which came from its international operations. Fourth in place is Bharat Electronics that secured profits of Rs.7.14 billion, as compared to Rs.5.53 billion in 2005-06. Kirloskar Brothers, which failed to make it to the list last year, has made it this time because of a gigantic leap of 106% in its profits, which reached Rs.3.36 billion. Tariff s on the capital goods sector, which is on a continuous decline (from 20% in 2003-04 to 12.5% in 2006-07), helped the sector clock record growth.

The politics of fragmentation will only make resolution of disputes more difficult in future


36TH Full Time Programme In Planning & Entrepreneu...

“The The politics of fragmentation will only make resolution of disputes more difficult in futureGujjars have not abandoned their cause, we have only made a tactical retreat, only to bounce back if the Rajasthan government continues to hoodwink us with false promises,” says Vikram Singh, a graduate Gujjar working in Delhi. This new found love for a cause among the Gujjar community in Rajasthan and adjoining regions in North India is not to upgrade their status in the caste hierarchy. Ironically, the Gujjars (presently in Other Backward Caste (OBC) list) ,desire to be downgraded to the Schedule Tribes (ST) list.

The Gujjars perceive that the competition (for jobs and other benefits) among the communities in ST list is not as intense, as it is among the castes belonging to the OBC category. Therefore, the Meena community (included in the ST list) has moved up the economic ladder at a faster pace; leaving the Gujjars behind.
