Company Overview Incorporated in the year 1981 as Gulsan Sugars and Chemicals Ltd. (GSCL merged with GPL with effect from April 2007), Gulshan Polyols Ltd. (GPL) is primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing calcium carbonate, both precipitated and activated grades, with an initial installed capacity of 2100 MTPA. In a phased manner, GPL expanded its installed capacities to the current levels of 1,05,000 MTPA. As a part of diversification in 1996, the company had set up starch derivative unit for manufacturing cornbased specialty chemicals such as sorbitol (70%) and liquid glucose, which is running at a capacity of 60,000 MTPA at present. GPL has six manufacturing facilities spread across five states in India and also has commissioned 10 MW co-generation power plants at various locations. Company Fundamentals Margins improved despite dip in the sales revenue for FY12 Total revenue for FY12 stood at Rs crore against Rs crore during the previous financial year, translating into a decline of 0.8% Y-o-Y. The dip in revenue growth is mainly attributed to the global economic slowdown which had an effect on the demand and margin outlook for industrial products across the globe. However, EBITDA margins improved to an extent of 2.0% Y-o-Y despite fall in the revenue growth. The net profit of GPL improved to Rs 17.9 crore in FY12 compared to Rs 16.3 crore in FY11 owing to reduced interest expenses. Operational Performance The company is operating in two business segments of inorganic chemicals, namely sorbitol and calcium carbonate (CC). During the year under review, the company produced a total of 50,700 MT of sorbitol and sweetener (SS) and 83,396 MT of CC, registering a combined de-growth of 9.0% Y-o-Y. The total quantity (both SS and CC) sold during FY12 also declined by 5.7% Y-o-Y. Despite dip in volumes, the product-wise sales of SS and CC improved by 1.3% and 5.3% respectively, owing to better realisation. Venturing into new product segment along with capacity expansion Gulshan Polyols Ltd. intends to diversify its product portfolio into value added starch-based products called mannitol and dextrose monohydrate, which will operate with a capacity of 4,000 MTPA and 12,000 MTPA respectively at Jhagadia Industrial Estate, Gujarat. This diversification is likely to increase the company s reach in specialty polyols and starch derivatives. Further, the company is venturing into new vertical of alcohol division under the brand name Indus Spirits. The facilities for producing IMFL and captive bottling unit are being set up at the industrial area of Boregaon Distt, Chhindwara (M.P.) with a capacity to produce 60,000 litres/day and are likely to commence operations during FY13. Also, the company is focusing to expand its existing wet corn grinding capacity and cater to new segments of starch and sweeteners industry. Key Strengths - Diversified product portfolio - Immense growth potential foreseen in specialty chemical segment, driven by high growing end-user industries Initiative of the BSE Investors Protection Fund -1-

3 Industry Overview The chemical industry is a multi-product and multi-faceted one that comprises basic chemicals, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, specialty chemicals, agrochemicals and biotechnology and their sub segments. With Asia s growing contribution to the global chemical industry, India emerges as one of the focus destinations for chemical companies worldwide. The Indian chemical industry, which is worth $108 billion as on FY10, accounts for approximately 7% of Indian GDP*. The chemicals sector accounts for about 14% in overall Index of Industrial Production (IIP). In terms of volume, India is the third largest producer of chemicals in Asia, after China and Japan. Despite its large size and significant GDP contribution, India chemicals industry represents only around 3% of global chemicals. With increasing demand in India based on increasing per-capita consumption, improved export competitiveness and resultant growth impact for each sub-sector of the chemical industry could lead to an overall growth rate greater than 15% p.a. and a size of $290 billion by 2017*.

The global specialty chemical market is $740 billion in FY11, representing a compounded annual growth rate of 3.7% during Indian Scenario: The Indian specialty chemicals industry is valued at $17.7 billion and has grown at 11-13% p.a. over the XI th Plan period (FY07 to FY11). The key specialty segments in India are agrochemicals, paints coating and construction chemicals, colorants, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), personal care chemicals and flavours and fragrances. APIs and colorants, including dyes and pigments, are the key export-oriented products. The growth potential of the specialty chemicals consumption in India is strong and is expected to reach $38 billion by *. Broadly the growth is driven by more end-user demand; intensity of consumption and improved consumption standards. Compared to the developed countries like the U.S., Europe and China, the current penetration of specialty chemicals within India s end market is low. With an increased focus on improving products, usage intensity of specialty chemicals within these end markets will rise in India over the decade and also act as an important catalyst to the growth of the overall chemical industry. * Source: Indian Chemical Industry- XIIth five year plan report (Planning Commission of India) Competitor Analysis We have compared Gulshan Polyols Ltd. with its close peers in the chemical industry.
