Financial
Tiny equity capital of `12.9 crore is supported by huge book value of the share of `286. PAL’s gross block increased 160% to `572.7 crore from `220 crore in FY10 owing to its expanded capacity becoming operational. Debt equity ratio as at FY12 works out to 1.5:1.
The above both expansion was financed through internal accruals, debt and issue of preferential warrants converted at a various price of `260, `225, `115 and `105 from time to time. With its two manufacturing facilities situated strategically in the tax haven of the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, India, the tax outgo is rather minimal.
Prospects
Packaging accounts for around 11% of aluminium usage in India as compared to a global share of around 20%. Given the rising middle-class and with an increasing disposable income, health awareness and the preference for eco-friendly packaging and serving solutions, the demand for AFCs is set to increase at a rapid pace. As the Indian economy matures, this share is expected to move towards the global level of 20%.
The industry in which PAL operates is at a very nascent stage in India as the usage is largely restricted to airlines and railways. However with increased awareness for health and hygiene the demand for AFCs and AFRs is expected to pick up over the next couple of years in a big way.
Moreover, AFCs and AFRs are slowly and steadily replacing other packaging substitutes like plastic, porcelain and glass containers as AFC’s offer various advantages; Aluminum Foil has amazing properties. It is light weight, aesthetic, attractive, resistant to odour, water, air, light, gas, oil and grease and possesses high thermal and electrical conductivity features. All this adds up to a highly versatile product that can be used in myriad applications from the traditional food industry to the hi-tech electronics and telecommunications industry
