Business Overview 7

Cement 8

Grasim s Cement Business! Amongst three largest producers in India " 10.36 Mn TPA existing capacity across 5 locations " 2.2 Mn TPA additional grinding facilities at split locations (by Dec. 01) " 1.14 Mn M 3 RMC plants (6 Nos.) and 0.65 Mn Ton Bulk Terminal " Captive power plant at all locations, meeting entire requirements " Four strong national brands - Birla Tristar, Birla Super, Birla Ready Mix and Birla White; Two strong regional brands - Rajashree and Vikram! Excellent market position " Dominant player in key consuming states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Western M.P., Western U.P. and Haryana " Domestic market share exceeds 10% #North(12%), East(8%),West(11%) and South(9%)! Largest producer of white cement in India with capacity of 400,000 TPA (55% market share), 6th largest in the World 9

Industry Outlook Positive 1970-71 1980-81 1990-91 2000-01 2010-11(F) Annual Production Volume in Mn. MT 14.22 18.66 48.90 93.52 200(E) Per Capita Consumption (Kgs.) 22 28 54 87 153(E) Source : NCAER Study! Cement consumption to more than double in next 10 years " 6% GDP growth to drive 7-8% annual growth in demand " Per capita consumption is lower than many developing countries - India (87Kgs) Vs. China (400 Kgs) and Brazil (250 Kgs) 10

Industry Outlook Positive (Contd..)! Demand growth will be accelerated by : "Strong growth in housing sector # Rural demand to pickup with normal monsoon # Fiscal incentives for private housing to continue # Changing preference towards nuclear families # Impending recovery and pickup in industrial activity to boost urban demand "Renewed focus on infrastructure sector by the Government # Thrust on road sector re-iterated in the Union Budget. Plan outlay up 93% to Rs.8,730 Crs. # Golden Quadrilateral - 6000 Kms Road Project; to be completed by Year 03 # North-South and East-West Corridor Project - 7000 Kms of expressway underway- To be completed by Year 07 # Construction of Flyovers, expressways and concretisation of roads by State Governments to augment further consumption 11

Long term supply pressures to ease! Cement production exploded after decontrol " 50 Mn MT added in last 10 years " Sharp rise in capacity coupled with sluggish growth in demand resulted in domestic surplus and pricing pressures! Capacity additions to slow down " Stringent financing environment (e.g. Lender s policy shift in project finance) " Sales Tax incentives phased out " Additional 12 Mn Greenfield capacity likely in next three years " Significant addition to Greenfield capacities unlikely, as same unviable at current prices " Capacity addition may be by way of de-bottlenecking, brown field expansion and higher proportion of blended cement! Demand supply balance likely within next 3 years 12

Short term surplus to continue! Demand growth to recover in second half of FY 02 on the back of good Monsoon in almost all key cement consuming states and infrastructure spending! Supply pressures to continue " Present capacity utilisation offers room for increased supplies " On-going de-bottlenecking to add fresh capacities " Progressive shift towards blended products to increase latent capacity with existing producers! Capacity utilisation expected to grow gradually with pick-up in demand 13

Price outlook remains firm! Prices recovered during 2HFY01! Significant downside in cement prices unlikely " Economic compulsion #Substantial cost increase in last 3 years " Stressed gearing of large players " Valuations of recent acquisitions assume higher price levels " Producers wanting to exit cement business keen on keeping cement prices at remunerative level! Industry consolidation process to contribute positively " Around 30 Mn MT capacities up for sale! Historically no major imports. Imports not viable even at current prices 14

Going Forward! Key Challenges " Greater competition among majors " Focus on improving market position " Retention of market share " Cost Control! Strategies to overcome challenges " Maintain market position " Capital and manpower productivity " Maintaining competitive cost structure 15

Strategy : Market Position! Focus on identified core markets (North, Western corridor and South)! Strengthen brands to ensure regional dominance! Improve realisation thru " Change in product mix " Change in market mix # Better penetration into new markets of South and North # Grinding unit at Bhatinda underway # Improve presence in profitable retail segment! Value added products will be a focus area! Selective acquisitions, to benefit from industry consolidation " Strong cash flows to fuel cement growth initiatives 16

Strategy :Capital and Manpower Productivity! Capacity expansion from 9.10 Mn. MT to 10.36 Mn. MT achieved without major capex.! Cost effective expansion of capacities " Adding 2.8 Mn MT in next 15 months through change in product mix and de-bottlenecking " Capital cost per ton to reduce from Rs.1800 to Rs.1600! Capex plans to enhance returns! Employee productivity is focus area " Rationalisation of labour force 17

Strategy : Cost Control 97-98 98-99 99-00 00-01 Power (KWH / MT) 100 95 90 90 Fuel (KCal/Kg) 751 735 728 720 Freight Distance (Kms) 551 539 490 465! Further reduction in energy costs " Increase proportion of thermal power " Reduce unit energy consumption further " Change in fuel mix - increase use of petcoke! Reduce distribution costs " Better logistics management " Leverage advantages of new plant in South " Set up grinding facilities close to profitable markets! Amalgamated Dharani Cements Ltd. will result in annual saving of Rs.14 crores. 18

Viscose Staple Fibre 19

VSF - Another Key Business for Grasim! Largest domestic producer with strong competitive advantage " 3 fibre plants with 2,20,000 TPA installed capacity! Market leader with over 90% domestic share! Amongst lowest cost producers in the World! Fully integrated operations " Caustic Soda and Power requirements met fully from captive sources " 50% of pulp requirement met from captive sources! Strong in-house R&D facilities 20

VSF Industry Profile! Two producers with a production capacity of 277000 MT " FY 01 Grasim s production - 218847 MT " FY 01 Other Producer - 17326 MT! Cellulosic fibre and filament segment is around 15% of total man made fibre segment! VSF constitutes 6% of overall textile fibre segment! Over last decade domestic demand has risen 4% annually Year 1980 1990 1999 2000 2001 Demand (MT) 84474 147655 178180 202036 236173 CAGR Over 80 6% Over 90 2% Over 99 13% Over 00 17% CAGR over 1990-4%! On the other hand global demand has been declining (from 1.9 Mn. ton in 1990 to 1.7 Mn. ton in 2000) 21

VSF to Remain Stable Performer Outlook! Recent fall in volumes due to down-turn in textile industry and low yarn demand " VSF yarn prices in European and Asian markets declined from its peak of US$ 2.27/kg in May 00 to US$ 1.90/kg in June 01. Exports from India declined from 2800 MT per month in March 01 to 1150 MT per month in June 01 " Export realisation lower due to weakening of Euro " Increased competition due to fall in value of Indonesian Rupiah by 9% in Q1 FY01 " Falling demand is partly attributable to increased price disparity with PSF. Price differential widened from Rs.18/kg in FY01 to Rs.24/kg in Q1 FY02! Demand expected to pick-up in the second half " Indonesian Rupiah as well as Euro has gained part of lost ground, enhancing competitive strength of domestic yarn exporters. " Declining pulp prices has helped correction in VSF prices #Pulp prices showing a declining trend at US$ 525/MT, from the peak level of 750/MT in Q4FY01 22

VSF to Remain Stable Performer Outlook (contd..)! Operating profit expected to improve in second half " Operating profit will get support from lower pulp prices. " Closure of non-viable Mavoor operation to add Rs.27 Crs. per annum to bottom line! Towards ensuring long term growth, Grasim will focus on enlarging use of VSF through " Positioning VSF at the high end of the market as the Fibre for Feel, Comfort and Fashion " Branding Birla Viscose to create awareness in the value chain and promote VSF as an Eco-friendly Fibre. " Product and application development " Strategic alliance with trend - setters for new applications 23

Performance Highlights Q1FY02! Excellent performance due to improved scenario of Cement, AND despite poor off take of VSF and curtailed operations of Chemical division! Turnover marginally down due to lower volume of VSF, curtailed operation of Chemical division and planned reduction of trading activity! Operating profits higher at Rs.248 crores (up 31%), Operating margins higher at 21% (corresponding quarter 16%)! Declining trend in interest charges continues; down by 22%! Net profit before extraordinary items and deferred tax liability increased by 88%, despite higher current tax 43

Performance Highlights Q1FY02 (Contd..)! Deferred Tax Liability " Provision of Rs. 10 Crs. in Q1FY02 made as per AS-22 " Liability for corresponding Q1FY01 would have been Rs.4.7 Crs. " Provision for liability for the past year upto FY01 estimated at Rs. 587 Crs. which, as per AS requirements, will be met out of accumulated Revenue Reserve " The deferred tax liability has arisen substantially on account of the timing difference between the Depreciation admissible under Income-tax Laws and Accounting Depreciation. " Having regard to the normal capital expenditure plans of the Company in the future years, the timing difference is not expected to be reversed. No cash outflow therefore expected to materialise towards such liability in foreseeable future. 44
