Grasim Annual Report 2013-14

Grasim Industries Limited - Annual Report 2013-2014
THE CHAIRMANS LETTER TO THE

SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholders,
The Global Scenario
Worldwide, 2014 portends to be much more
encouraging than 2013, with the forces
driving the global economic recovery rmly
entrenched. The IMF projects that global
economic growth will rise from 3% in 2013
to 3.6% in 2014, and to 3.9% in 2015.
This is largely due to a turn for the better
in the developed economies estimated to
grow 2.25% in 2014, a full percentage point
more than in 2013. The US GDP growth for
2014 is projected at 2.8%, and in the Euro
area at 1.2%, while Chinas economy is
expected to grow at 7.5%. The GDP growth
in the emerging markets and developing
economies is slated to increase from 4.7%
in 2013 to 4.9% in 2014, as these regions
step up exports to the developed markets.
Continued scal easing, loose monetary
policy in developed economies and stable
commodity prices should boost the global
recovery. The nervousness in the nancial
markets, particularly related to stability of
the southern European economies, has
abated considerably. That said, we must
be prepared for unforeseen geopolitical
developments, which may have disruptive
ripple effects on the global economy.

SHAREHOLDERS
The Indian Economy moving on to a stable footing

Developments on the
global and the domestic
front have a telling effect
on your Companys
growth and end-results.
Your Company has posted
a consolidated turnover of
US$ 4.9 Billion (` 29,324
crore) and an EBIDTA of
US$ 0.9 Billion (` 5,491
crore).
The outlook for the Indian economy has turned distinctly

positive. The increasing traction of the global economic
revival and plans to restore vim to Indias economy
through a slew of timely measures by the new
Government by addressing scal imbalances and fastforwarding investment activity should play out positively
in the coming year. The RBIs deft moves to stabilize
the Rupee, enabled it to recover from a low of around
` 68/$ to ~ ` 60/$. The current account decit for the
year has been contained at around 1.7% of GDP. Some
progress has been achieved on clearing the backlog of
large projects, whose approvals had been held up. The
GDP growth is predicted at around 5.5% in 2014-15.
However, industrial production needs to accelerate with
the IIP declining 0.1% year-on-year in the rst 11 months
of 2013-14, vis--vis 0.9% growth in the same period
last year. Ination also remains a concern, with the
wholesale and consumer price indices in March 2014 up
5.7% and 8.3%, respectively, year-on-year. Continuing
inationary pressures have been a constraint in reducing
interest rates. In the medium term, the economy stands
to benet, if the Goods and Services Tax is rolled out.
Further initiatives and reforms in areas such as land
acquisition, allocation of natural resources and taxation
would help greatly to boost investor condence and
accelerate investment activity. Overall, the stage seems
set for India to shift to a higher growth trajectory.
These developments on the global and the domestic
front have a telling effect on your Companys growth
and end-results.
In the face of these odds, your Company has posted a
consolidated turnover of US$ 4.9 Billion (` 29,324 crore)
and an EBIDTA of US$ 0.9 Billion (` 5,491 crore).

SHAREHOLDERS
The VSF business has been facing severe pressure

on margins due to the huge overcapacity, largely in
China. Therefore, despite the signicant improvement
in its operational efciencies, the business has seen its
margins decline. The pulp and bre business increased
its sales volume at 367K tpa, reported a consolidated
turnover of over US$ 1 billion and an EBITDA of US$
119 million.
Consequent to the countrys low GDP growth,
coupled with the tremendous slide in the housing and
infrastructure sector, the cement business turnover was
US$ 3.6 billion (` 21,652 crore) and EBITDA at US$ 676
million (` 4,086 crore).
Your Companys Cement

business installed
capacity has been scaled
up to nearly 62 million
tons. In the next 2 years,
we expect it to touch 70
million tons when all of its
ongoing projects will be
fully commissioned.
The Captive Power plant and the VSF expansion at

Harihar have been commissioned. The 120,000 tpa VSF
project, at Vilayat in Gujarat, is being commissioned in
phases with production having started on the rst 2
lines during this year. The 51,500 tpa Epoxy plant at
Vilayat has also been commissioned.
The acquisition of the 4.8 Mn. tpa Gujarat Cement Unit
of Jaypee Cement Corporation Limited at a cost of US$
636 million (` 3,800 crore) by UltraTech Cement Limited
(UltraTech) represents a milestone in UltraTechs growth
strategy. It strengthens your Companys foothold in the
growing Western market, bolsters its coastal footprint
and enables it to deepen our exports as well. There are
many other synergies, which are mutually reinforcing.
All of your Companys expansion plans are on track.
During the year, UltraTech commissioned a 10,000
TPD clinkerisation plant together with a cement grinding
capacity of 1.45 Mn. tpa at Rajashree Cement, Karnataka;
a 1.6 Mn. tpa cement grinding unit in Odisha; and
Thermal Power Plants of 30 mega watts at Rawan
Cement Works and 25 mega watts each at Rajashree

SHAREHOLDERS
With additional capacities

coming on stream in both
its Pulp and Fibre business
and Cement business, your
Company is well poised
to further consolidate
its leadership position in
these sectors.
Cement and Andhra Pradesh Cement Works at a total

capex of US$ 450 million (` 2,562 crore).
Your Companys Cement business installed capacity has
been scaled up to nearly 62 million tons. In the next 2
years, we expect it to touch 70 million tons when all of
its ongoing projects will be fully commissioned.
Despite the rather subdued growth of the industry, I
believe the long-term fundamentals and growth prospects
remain intact, and capacity additions in both the sectors
keep us in the state of preparedness.
Outlook
Given the over capacity buildup in China and its
consequent impact on prices and margins, the Pulp
and Fibre industry continues to face a challenging
environment in the short term. However, the long-term
growth prospects are encouraging.
In the Cement Sector, a 6% growth with the potential
to move to over 8% with the economy on a more
stable footing, augurs well for your Company.
Having said that, with additional capacities coming on
stream in both its Pulp and Fibre business and Cement
business, your Company is well poised to further
consolidate its leadership position in these sectors.
To Our Teams
In the face of continuing external challenges, our teams
across geographies have stayed focused and delivered
performance. I thank all of our employees for their
tenacity and commitment to sustain top line and bottom
line growth year after year.
The Aditya Birla Group in Perspective
Despite the tectonic shifts witnessed globally and in
India, at the Group level, we have managed to sustain

SHAREHOLDERS
our revenues at US$ 40 billion. Much credit must go to

the talent resident in our 1,20,000 committed workforce,
spanning 36 countries and 42 nationalities.
I would like to reiterate that we place big bets on
our people. Let me elaborate on this aspect in some
detail.
As a high performance driven meritocratic Group, we are
constantly focusing on building our talent pool to support
our business vision. To this end, substantive initiatives
taken earlier have since materialized. These include
focused endeavours to build a robust talent pipeline,
building the employer brand of our Group beyond India,
and achieving the distinction of becoming the most
aspirational employer for manufacturing professionals
also, besides augmenting talent on the technical side.
Furthermore, to support our long-term strategies, our
business structures have been signicantly bolstered.
Despite the tectonic shifts

witnessed globally and in
India, at the Group level,
we have managed to
sustain our revenues at
US$ 40 billion. Much credit
must go to the talent
resident in our 1,20,000
committed workforce,
spanning 36 countries and
42 nationalities.
Our reputation as an employer of choice is again

something we are incredibly proud of. We are recognised
as an employer that offers a World of Opportunities
and is concerned about the professional growth of its
people. We continue to fast track our talent from our
management cadre comprising of 38,200 colleagues,
13% have been promoted, 20% have changed roles and
12% have moved location during the year.
Gyanodaya, our in-house world-class university, continues
to be an important mainstay of our progress. Leveraging
resources across geographies and partnering with leading
global faculty, institutions and corporates ensure that
our leadership and talent pool stays contemporary, and
is always in the learning mode.
To be a learning and growing organisation is an ongoing
endeavour.

SHAREHOLDERS
For the second year

running, our Group has
been ranked No. 1 in
the Nielsen Corporate
Image Monitor 2013-14.
Across the six pillars of
corporate performance
products and services,
vision and leadership,
workplace environment,
nancial performance,
operating style and social
responsibility Aditya
Birla Group emerges as
the pace setter, way ahead
of 40 corporates.
Ranked No. 1 in the Nielsen Corporate Image

Monitor
I am pleased to share with you that for the second
year running, our Group has been ranked No. 1 in the
Nielsen Corporate Image Monitor 2013-14. Across
the six pillars of corporate performance products and
services, vision and leadership, workplace environment,
nancial performance, operating style and social
responsibility Aditya Birla Group emerges as the
pace setter, way ahead of 40 corporates. Nielsens
Corporate Image Monitor measures the reputation of
the 40 leading companies in India across sectors, and
serves as an important indicator of the strength of
the corporate brand, they state. The companies were
covered in the survey, using the Economic Times 500
and the Business Today 500 ranking of listed companies.
Nielsen is among the most renowned global market
research companies, headquartered in New York and
operating in 60 countries.
In Sum
With the best of talent in our midst, our strong Balance
Sheets, robust Cash Flows, the eye on the customer
and unrelenting focus on delivering shareholder value,
we are condent of the future. The year ahead, I
believe, will be the one when we consolidate and
reinforce what we have achieved in recent years. And
see the fruition of the several projects and initiatives
in each of the businesses that are currently underway.
Yours sincerely,
Kumar Mangalam Birla

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OVERVIEW
During the Financial Year 2013-14 (FY 13-14), advanced economies were gradually recovering while
emerging market economies slowed down. They faced the dual challenge of slowing growth and tighter
global nancial conditions. Currency depreciation accentuated inationary pressure and most of the
emerging economies central banks engaged in monetary tightening. Slower economic growth in China
also impacted global economic environment.
The economic slowdown has impacted the performance of your Company as well. In Viscose Staple Fibre
(VSF) business, though demand continued to grow globally, margins contracted given rising raw material
prices coupled with subdued realisation in line with the global scenario due to the large surplus capacities
in China. The Cement industry witnessed sluggish demand due to the slowdown in infrastructure projects,
real estate sector and capex cycle.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES
In line with its objective of strengthening its leadership position in both VSF and Cement businesses, your
Company made considerable progress with its expansion plans:
VSF Business Expansion
The capacity expansion from 334K TPA to 498K TPA is in its nal stage of becoming operational. Of this,
the Browneld expansion (36K TPA) at Harihar, Karnataka, has been completed with the commissioning
of Power plant in Phase-II in May 2013. In respect of Greeneld project (120K TPA) at Vilayat in Gujarat,
trial runs for Line 1 have commenced in April 2014, to be followed by trail runs of Line 2 shortly. The
remaining two lines focusing on specialty bre are expected to be commissioned in the 2nd quarter of
the current year. Besides increasing volumes, the plant will augment your Companys presence in speciality
bres such as Modal and Micro-modal.
Cement Business Expansion
Considerable progress has been made in Browneld expansions under implementation. Clinkerisation plant
(3.3 Mn. TPA) along with the grinding capacity (1.45 Mn. TPA) at Malkhed, Karnataka and Jharsuguda,
Odisha (1.60 Mn. TPA), was commissioned in FY 13-14. This is in addition to clinkerisation plant at
Raipur, Chhattisgarh (3.3 Mn. TPA) and grinding capacity at Hotgi, Maharashtra (1.55 Mn. TPA) already
commissioned in FY 12-13. The remaining cement grinding facility of ~4.5 Mn. TPA is slated to go
onstream in a phased manner by 2015. Work on the 2.9 Mn. TPA expansion at Aditya Cement in Rajasthan
is expected to be commissioned in 2015.
Acquisition of 4.8 Mn. TPA Cement Capacity in Gujarat
In September 2013, UltraTech Cement Ltd. (UltraTech), the subsidiary of your Company, entered into an
agreement to acquire, by way of a demerger, the Gujarat Cement units (4.8 Mn. TPA) comprising of an
integrated cement plant at Sewagram and a grinding unit at Wanakbori of Jaypee Cement Corporation
Limited (JCCL). The transaction has received the requisite regulatory approvals from Competition Commission
of India, shareholders, creditors and Honble High Courts, and is now subject to the approval of Securities
and Exchange Board of India.
On completion of the ongoing expansions and the acquisition, UltraTechs cement capacity will increase
to 70 Mn. TPA.
Strengthening of Backward Integration through Expansion in Chemical Business
The 182,500 TPA Caustic Soda plant at Vilayat, Gujarat, has been commissioned in May 2013. With this,
your Company has the largest capacity of 452,500 TPA in the Chlor-alkali segment in India.
11
The Indian economy further slowed down with GDP growth in FY 13-14 estimated to be less than 5%.
Industrial growth rate continued to stay weak at 0.5%. Domestic investments declined due to high interest
rates and slowdown in capex cycle. Rupee witnessed sharp depreciation during the rst half of the year,
though it has stabilised since December 2013. With focus on improving macro stability, scal decit has
been contained at 4.6% of GDP, current account decit has come down to 1.7% of GDP and the ination
trend is moderating. This should help in accelerating growth in Indian economy, going forward.
To expand its portfolio of downstream Value Added Products, a 51,500 TPA Epoxy plant began operations
in December 2013.

Performance Review
Total textile bre consumption has been growing at a steady pace of 4% from 2008 to 2012. The rate
of growth, going forward, is expected to remain around this level. Against this, world demand for VSF
has grown at 12% CAGR (CY 09-CY 13), primarily driven by VSF industry in China (CAGR of 15% in last
5 years).
Despite good growth, the business environment continues to remain challenging. Over the last few
years, all the leading VSF manufacturers have actively pursued capacity expansion. This has led to a large
over capacity and pressure on realisations. The capacity addition in China has been much faster than the
rest of the world, resulting in a 69% capacity utilisation in 2013 against the global average of 79%. The
availability of dissolving grade pulp, which was a constraint until last year, has become surplus in the
current year, as several paper grade pulp producers have converted their facilities from paper grade to
dissolving grade. This too has supplemented overcapacity in VSF.
With a large surplus capacity, Chinese players are aggressively exporting, leading to a decline in global
prices. The demand supply imbalance and liquidity crunch in China impacted VSF prices in global markets.
The fall in realisations of your Company were much lower compared to global trends, supported by rupee
depreciation.
Your Companys production increased by 7% vis--vis FY 12-13, with the enhanced capacity at Harihar
plant. Despite difcult market conditions, sales volumes grew by 9%. A sharp depreciation of the rupee
and a steep increase in pulp and wood prices resulted in a substantial increase in input costs and decline
in EBIDTA margins.
Led by better efciency and realisations, protability has improved in Pulp JVs. Losses at AV Terrace Bay
amounting to ` 79 crore (your Companys share) has affected the consolidated performance, despite the
signicant improvement in plant efciency. The performance of the VSF JV in China was affected due to
depressed market conditions.
Capex plans of ` 2,725 crore are under implementation, including the Greeneld Vilayat project and the
normal capex, of which ` 1,870 crore has already been spent as at 31st March, 2014.
12
Sector Outlook
The world economy continues to pass through an uncertain phase with high volatility. Though the US
is showing signs of slow and steady recovery, the challenges in the Euro Zone remain. The slowdown
in China will pose additional concerns. Margins are likely to remain under pressure in the near term
due to overcapacity in China. However, the slowdown of new capacity additions in China should lead to
improvement in industry utilisation.
In the long term, with limitations for growth of cotton production due to competition with other cash
crops, growing population, rising prosperity and increasing consumer awareness about the benets of
cellulosic bre, VSF is well positioned to achieve a larger share of the global bre pie.
Business Outlook
The Business is committed to achieve world benchmark quality besides expanding new product offerings
by expediting R&D projects as elaborated in the Directors Report. Further, the Business will continue to
focus on improving its cost competitive position. These measures will ensure the Company maintaining
its leadership position.

Caustic Soda
Performance Review
The Chemical business reported a growth of 16% and 17% in production and sales volume, respectively.
Additional volumes from its Vilayat plant and an uninterrupted production at its Nagda plant were the
key drivers. Production at the Vilayat plant was hampered during the third quarter on account of the
unprecedented oods. ECU realisation saw a marginal decline in the rst half from the peak level witnessed
during FY 12-13, even as it recovered during the second half. The operating prot for the business was
lower due to the initial losses after the commissioning of Caustic and Epoxy plant at Vilayat.
Sector Outlook
Caustic demand in India will benet from expected high growth in the aluminium industry in India.
Demand growth from paper as well as soaps and the detergents segment would be healthy with rising
consumption. Chlorine demand will be linked with growth in agrochemicals, dye intermediates, organic
intermediates, etc. However, increase in production volume in Western India may impact its demand
supply balance.
Business Outlook
The full benet of the Chemical complex at Vilayat (Chloro-Alkali, Epoxy and other value added products)
will accrue in FY 14-15 with the gradual ramp up in production.
13
The additional capacity from the ongoing Greeneld expansion at Vilayat will push volume growth. Your
Company will continue to focus on specialty bres.

Performance Review
The Cement industry was affected by a sluggish demand on account of lower government spending,
prolonged monsoon, a gloomy economic environment leading to low off-take from the infrastructure and
housing sectors, coupled with the shortage of construction material like sand in some of the major cement
consuming states.
Higher capacity addition compared to incremental demand resulted in sector capacity utilisation declining
to below 70%. The subdued demand and over-capacity resulted in prices remaining under pressure.
UltraTechs domestic cement realisation was at ` 4,097 per ton as against ` 4,253 per ton in FY 12-13.
UltraTech continued its efforts towards cost optimization and operational efciencies, which to some extent
helped in containing costs. The overall energy cost at ` 948 per ton eased by 4% over the previous year.
The gain in cost was achieved with a continuous focus on improving efciencies in consumption and
increasing the usage of pet coke. Although prices of imported coal softened, the depreciation in rupee
negated the benet. Limestone mining cost and landed cost of all major input material have increased,
linked to regular hike in HSD prices. The rise in rail freight and diesel prices (more than 20%) impacted
the logistics cost substantially.
UltraTech has earmarked a capex of ~` 10,000 crore to be incurred in setting up the grinding units,
Browneld expansion in Rajasthan, cement terminals and other normal capex. These are likely to be
commissioned in a phased manner by 2015.
Outlook for Cement Business
Industry is likely to face an oversupply situation till FY 16-17 with the utilisation remaining below 75%.
As a result pricing may remain under pressure. The pace of capacity addition is slowing down and an
additional ~50 Mn. TPA is expected in next three years.
14
The demand growth should gradually recover to 8% on improved economic environment. Higher
infrastructure spending, robust potential in rural housing and the expected decline in interest rates augur
well for the cement industry.
Textiles - Grasim Bhiwani Textiles Limited (GBTL)

GBTL, your Companys textile subsidiary, grew on the back of higher volume in the OTC segment in India
and better realisation in export markets. Its operating prot at ` 36.7 crore improved by 17% with higher
margins in export markets. Net prot almost doubled from ` 9.1 crore in the previous year to ` 18.1 crore.

Other Income of ` 577 crore declined by 7% as the surplus treasury size reduced with ongoing capex
plans.
Operating Prot (PBIDT)
PBIDT at ` 5,491 crore is lower by 16% due to a fall in realisations in both Cement and VSF businesses.
Protability was also impacted due to rise in freight cost in Cement and pulp cost in VSF due to rupee
depreciation. However, the impact was partially offset by higher volumes in all the Businesses and cost
control measures.
Finance Cost
The nance cost increased from ` 324 crore in the previous year to ` 447 crore, primarily due to
commissioning of projects in the Cement business. Finance cost is net of subsidy received in Cement
business in terms of State Investment Promotion Scheme amounting to ` 62 crore and concessional
interest rate on loans secured by VSF business under the Scheme of TUF loans. Interest cover (including
interest capitalised) is high at 9 times.
Depreciation
During the nancial year, with the commissioning of various projects, gross xed assets rose to ` 34,112
crore on 31st March, 2014, from ` 28,332 crore on 31st March, 2013. Consequently, depreciation has
increased by 16% to ` 1,458 crore.
Tax Expenses
Tax expenses declined by 50% at ` 735 crore on account of lower prots and reasons indicated.
Current tax declined from ` 1,223 crore to ` 359 crore. Your Company as well as its subsidiary
UltraTech has made tax payments under the Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) provision during the year
and has accounted for MAT credit amounting to ` 392 crore. MAT Credit will be available for set off
against tax liability of coming years.
Deferred tax liability of FY 12-13 was higher due to one-time impact of ` 102 crore on account of
increase in tax surcharge from 5% to 10%. Further, in the current year, there is lower deferred tax
liability on account of tax holiday for newly commissioned thermal power plants.
There was a reversal of income-tax provision for earlier years amounting to ` 125 crore during the
current year (` 7 crore in the previous year).
Prot for the Year
Net prot before exceptional item for the year stood at ` 2,072 crore vis--vis ` 2,500 crore last year.

Revenue rose by 7% on the back of higher volumes in both VSF and Chemical businesses. Standalone
performance was subdued mainly due to lower operating margins in the VSF business. Depreciation has
increased from ` 159 crore to ` 219 crore, largely on account of VSF expansion at Harihar and Chemical
plant at Vilayat. Net Prot before exceptional item was ` 896 crore as compared to ` 1,022 crore in the

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM
Your Companys internal control system is commensurate with its scale of operations. Roles and
responsibilities are clearly dened and assigned. Standard operating procedures are in place and have been
19
designed to provide a reasonable assurance. During the year, a Chartered Accountant rm has also been
engaged for internal audit, covering all business operations. The Audit Committee reviews the adequacy
and effectiveness of internal control systems and suggests ways of further strengthening them. Apart
from having all policies, procedures and internal audit mechanism in place, your Company also periodically
engages outside experts to carry out an independent review of the effectiveness of various business
processes. The observations and good practices suggested are reviewed by the Management and Audit
Committee and appropriately implemented with a view to continuously strengthen internal controls.
CONCLUSION
In the VSF sector, margins are likely to remain under pressure in the near term due to over capacity in
China. The slowdown of new capacity additions in China should lead to improvement in industry utilisation.
With additional capacity coming on stream, your Company is well equipped to further consolidate its
leadership position in the industry.
In Cement, the demand growth for the industry should gradually recover to 8% on improvement in
economic environment.

TOWARDS INCLUSIVE GROWTH
Our Vision
To actively contribute to the social and economic development of the
communities in which we operate. In so doing, build a better, sustainable
way of life for the weaker sections of society and raise the countrys
human development index.
- Mrs. Rajashree Birla
Chairperson, Aditya Birla Centre for Community Initiatives and Rural Development
SOCIAL REPORT
Adds Mrs. Birla: Over these decades through our

committed engagement, largely around our plants,
all of us have laboured hard to lift the burden of
poverty, from the lives of thousands. Each one of
our Group Companies, such as yours, has played
a signicant role to bring in change. And together,
we have managed to make a difference. Today,
our Group is regarded as an exemplar in the CSR
domain. Our work has been well recognised.
Since its inception, we at Grasim have been
working towards inclusive growth.
The Companies Act, 2013 (Act) has been
primarily introduced, to bring in inclusive growth
in totality, through roping as many corporates as
possible.
Our focus areas are healthcare, education,

sustainable livelihood, infrastructure and social
reform. The Act clubs several areas under different
headings in 10 buckets given below. Consequently,
we have reclassied our activities as well.
The rst is eradicating hunger, poverty and
malnutrition, preventive health care and sanitation
and making available safe drinking water.
Second, education continues to be a
major plank. Within education, the Act includes
employment enhancing vocational skills and
livelihood enhancement projects.
The third plank is promoting gender equality,
empowering women, setting up homes and hostels
for women and orphans. This sits in well with our
Mrs. Rajashree Birla with a team of empowered women at Grasim, Harihar (Karnataka)

women empowerment programmes including Self

Help Groups (SHGs).
Fourth on their list is ensuring environmental
sustainability, inclusive of animal welfare, agro
forestry. The projects that we do with BAIFintegrated livestock development and animal welfare,
water harvesting structures, non-conventional
energy programmes come within its purview.
Fifth on their list is protection of national
heritage, art and culture, as well as promotion and
development of traditional arts and handicrafts. In
this regard, over the years, in a small way we have
been doing this. May be, wherever possible, you
can scale it up.
The sixth subject in which we are engaged
to some extent, is training to promote rural sports.
The seventh on their agenda is the rural
development projects. All of our work, by and
large, falls within its ambit.
Other areas that the Act has specied as
CSR include- measures for the benet of armed
forces veterans, war widows and their dependents,
contribution to the Prime Ministers Relief Fund
and other funds set up by the Central Government
and lastly, contribution of funds to trusts for
CSR engagement and to technology incubators
in academic institutes approved by the Central
Government.
The Act also makes it mandatory to have a
CSR policy and a CSR Board level Committee in
every company. The CSR Board level Committee
of your Company comprises of:
-
Mrs. Rajashree Birla, Chairperson
Mr. Shailendra K. Jain, Director
Mr. B. V. Bhargava, Independent Director

To gain benet from her group wide experience,

Supporting the Nirmal Gram Yojana, we have
facilitated the construction of 324 individual toilets
in villages around Harihar and Nagda.

These learning programmes were highly appreciated
by the 375 farmers at Harihar and 778 farmers at
Nagda, who participated.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
ENERGISING GROWTH WITH RESPONSIBILITY
It is our responsibility to see sustainability becoming one of the dening

attributes of our Group.
I appreciate the commitment of our businesses and their teams to sustainable
development. I believe that in so far as it relates to sustainability, there
is no nish line. Because the goalpost will keep moving. Therefore, our
endeavour should be to constantly raise the bar and strive to match the
worlds best on all the metrics of sustainability measurements.
- Kumar Mangalam Birla
Chairman, Aditya Birla Group
One key focus area this year has been our

investment in water treatment and reduction of
water usage. We have upgraded our efuent
treatment plant at Nagda, installed a reverse
osmosis plant at Kharach which has resulted in
saving of 2,500 cubic meters of water per day
and also saved the same amount of waste water
Your Companys Sustainable Development philosophy

is to manage the businesses in a responsible
manner, far ahead of legal compliance. It has been
this way since our inception and this year, we are
pleased to report that, while maintaining our ISO
14001 certication, we have taken more positive
steps to preserve the environment.

ENERGISING GROWTH WITH RESPONSIBILITY
generation. At our recently commissioned plant in

Vilayat, we have installed a continuous monitoring
system for water usage to allow high levels of
control.
In our manufacturing facilities, we have very
positive progress to report from a number of key
focus areas.
Waste Management
We have had impressive results in the area of

waste management. At your Nagda plant, a Novel
Technology of Recovery of Cs2 from Spinning Off
Gases using an absorptiondesorption technology is
under nal stages of optimization. Also, extending
the same Technology Platform, the team has
installed a Pilot Plant for H2S gas recovery. The
same is being explored for Technological Feasibility.
Further efforts have been focussed on nding
better solutions for the disposal of y ash. At your
Kharach plant, all y ash is now used for brick
making. We have agreed with our sister company
Ultratech that all 6,860 MT of gypsum will be
taken for use in cement manufacture.
Water
Multiple projects at Kharach, including re-use of
scrubber water, back water recycling and the use
44
of RO reject water, have resulted in a total saving

of 2,500 cubic metres of fresh water per day.
Reducing the Carbon Footprint
At your Harihar plant, the team has increased
use of Bio Gas in process from 24% to 35%,
thereby reducing the use of furnace oil. Also, post
commissioning of Line 3, use of LDO in Pulp
Production has been completely stopped through
process synergy between Pulp and Fibre units
from June 2013.
Life cycle assessment
At your Nagda plant, a focused life cycle assessment
study was conducted for Spun Dyed Viscose Fibre
and Excel bre. We expect this information to
focus our energy and efforts towards prioritized
improvement areas across supply chain in the
coming year.
Your Board and Management team across all the
operations remain committed to a sustainable
future.
DIRECTORS REPORT
Dear Shareholders,
Your Directors take pleasure in presenting the
67th Annual Report and Audited Accounts of your
Company for the year ended 31st March, 2014.
The Management Discussion and Analysis Section,
forming part of the Annual Report, focuses on
your Companys strategies for growth and the
performance review of the businesses/operations in
depth. So, we are providing only a brief overview
of these matters in this Report.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES
Your Companys strategic intent continues to be the
strengthening of its leadership position in both the
Viscose Staple Fibre (VSF) and Cement businesses.
In this regard, signicant progress has been made
on its expansion/acquisition plans.
Expansion Projects
Your Companys expansion plan to increase VSF
capacity from 334K TPA to 498K TPA is nearing
completion. The 36,500 TPA Browneld expansion
at Harihar in Karnataka has been completed. Trial
runs for Line 1 have commenced at the Greeneld
project (120K TPA) at Vilayat in Gujarat from April
2014, to be followed by trial runs of Line 2 shortly.
The other two lines for specialty bre are expected
to be commissioned in the 2nd quarter of the
current year.
The Caustic Soda plant of 182,500 TPA capacity
for backward integration for VSF plant at Vilayat
has been commissioned in May 2013. The capacity
utilisation of the new plant is being ramped up in a
phased manner. Consequently, your Company now
has the largest capacity of 452,500 TPA in Chloralkali segment in India.
As part of its strategy to increase its downstream
value added products portfolio, a 51,500 TPA Epoxy
plant at Vilayat in Gujarat, was commissioned in
December 2013.
Acquisition of 4.8 Mn. TPA Cement Capacity in
Gujarat
Your Companys subsidiary, UltraTech Cement Ltd.
(UltraTech), entered into an agreement to acquire,
by way of a demerger, the Gujarat Cement units
(4.8 Mn. TPA) comprising of an integrated cement
plant at Sewagram and a grinding unit at Wanakbori
of Jaypee Cement Corporation Limited (JCCL). The
transaction has received the requisite regulatory

approvals from the Competition Commission of
India, shareholders, creditors and the Honble High
Courts, and the Scheme is now subject to the
approval of Securities and Exchange Board of India.
Capacity Expansion by UltraTech Cement
UltraTech is implementing capacity expansion
projects at its plants in Chhattisgarh, Karnataka
and Rajasthan. The Clinkerisation plants of 3.3 Mn.
TPA, each at Raipur in Chhattisgarh and Malkhed in
Karnataka, have already been commissioned along
with the grinding capacity at Hotgi in Maharashtra
(1.55 Mn. TPA), Malkhed in Karnataka (1.45 Mn.
TPA) and Jharsuguda in Odisha (1.60 Mn. TPA).
The balance grinding facility of ~4.5 Mn. TPA of
cement is slated to be commissioned in phases,
in FY 14-15. Work on Aditya Cement expansion of
2.9 Mn. TPA at Shambhupura in Rajasthan, is on
track and the capacity is expected to go onstream
in FY 15-16.
On completion of all the expansions and the
acquisition, UltraTechs cement capacity will increase
to 70 Mn. TPA.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
In the VSF business, globally the demand was
healthy led by growth in Asian countries, particularly
China. Despite the volume growth, the business
environment continues to remain challenging. The
demand supply imbalance and the liquidity crunch in
China have impacted VSF prices in global markets.
Your Companys sales volume increased by 9%
with the enhanced capacity at Harihar plant. The
decline in realisations was much lower compared
to global trends, supported by rupee depreciation.
A steep increase in pulp costs, due to the rupee
depreciation and the increase in wood costs, led to
a fall in EBIDTA margins.
In the Cement business, the industry witnessed
sluggish demand, given the slowdown in economic
growth leading to lower offtake from infrastructure
projects, real estate sector and capex cycle. The
subdued demand and over-capacity resulted in
a price squeeze. The year witnessed continuing
pressure on input and logistics costs, because of
the increase in railway freight and a continuous
hike in diesel prices. Your Companys subsidiary,
UltraTechs volume growth also remained subdued
at 3%. Optimization of fuel mix and other initiatives

amortised as expense or income over the life of the contract. Any gain or loss arising on cancellation or renewal
of such forward exchange contract is recognised as income or expense, as the case may be on such occurence.
Forward exchange contracts entered to hedge rm commitment and outstanding as at the year end are

reference to the month of addition/deduction, however, in case of new projects the depreciation from the date
of commissioning of such project is charged to the Statement of Prot and Loss.
1.19 Provision for Current and Deferred Tax:
Deferred Tax, resulting from timing difference between book and taxable prot for the year, is accounted for
using the Tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted as on the Balance Sheet date. The Deferred
Tax asset is recognised and carried forward only to the extent there is a reasonable certainty of its realisation
in future.
1.20 Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT):
MAT is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence based on projections
that the Company will pay normal Income-tax during the specied period. In the year in which the MAT credit
becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in the
Guidance Note issued by the ICAI, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the Statement of Prot and
Loss and is shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each Balance Sheet date
and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing
evidence to the effect that Company will pay normal Income-tax during the specied period.
1.21 Provisions/Contingencies:
A provision is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of past event, and it is probable
that an outow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate
can be made. Provisions are determined (as provided/charged to the Statement of Prot and Loss) based on
estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date and are not discounted to
the present value.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised but are disclosed in the nancial statements. Claims against the
Company where the possibility of materialisation is remote are not considered as contingent liabilities.
Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed, in the nancial statements.
81

We have audited the accompanying consolidated nancial statements of GRASIM INDUSTRIES
LIMITED (the Company), its subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities (the Company, its subsidiaries and
jointly controlled entities constitute the Group), which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at
31st March, 2014, the Consolidated Statement of Prot and Loss and the Consolidated Cash Flow
Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of the signicant accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
Managements Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Companys Management is responsible for the preparation of these consolidated nancial statements
that give a true and fair view of the consolidated nancial position, consolidated nancial performance and
consolidated cash ows of the Group in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India. This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant
to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated nancial statements that give a true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated nancial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated nancial statements are
free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures
in the consolidated nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated nancial statements,
whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the Companys preparation and presentation of the consolidated nancial statements that give
a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control. An
audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of the accounting estimates made by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the consolidated nancial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufcient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and
based on the consideration of the reports of the other auditors/one of the joint auditors on the nancial
statements of the subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities, associates and management accounts referred to
below in the Other Matter paragraphs, the aforesaid consolidated nancial statements give a true and fair

for alleged cartelisation, for which no provision has been made based on a legal opinion obtained by UTCL.
Our opinion is not qualied in respect of this matter.

disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and an associate, is based
solely on the reports of the other auditors.
