NEWS ON SHREE CEMENT

(1)Shree Cement has commissioned a captive power plant and added clinker capacity during the 4th quarter. During the 4th quarter, it had commissioned a 1.20 MTPA clinker unit in Rajasthan, a 1.80 MTPA clinker unit in Uttarakhand, green power projects totalling 46 MW and a 50 MW thermal power plant in Rajasthan.

(2)“Now, what has happened is the depreciation has increased from (Rs)55 crore last year to (Rs)280 crore, because of commissioning. (of additional capacity),” Shree Cement MD, HM Bangur said.The Rs280 crore depreciation for the quarter is against Rs570 crore for the whole of last year, he said.

(3)“Our policy is written-down value on income tax basis, and if power plants are there, government of India allows us to charge very heavy depreciation in the first year itself. That has resulted in very high rates of incidence of depreciation,” he added. According to Bangur, if the company were to consider normal depreciation, the net profit would have been around Rs180 crore, rather than a loss of Rs71.37 crore.

(4)The company has also made a one-time provision of Rs44 crore as a precaution for a legal issue.

(5)“there is some capacity addition (plans). ...it is 12 million tonnes (as on FY10) and by the end of the year (FY11) it would be increased to 15 million tonnes,” Bangur said. The capacity addition would take place at its unit in Rajasthan and would be funded through internal accruals. The cement dispatches were at 10.26 million tonnes during the March quarter, up by 10%.There was no pricing pressure, as during the quarter prices were up 5% compared with a year ago, he said.
