INDUSTRIAL PROFILE:
Birth of Textile Industry in India:
The rich tradition of Indian textile dates back to 4000 years BC.
Travellers in 13th century wrote about the excellence of the Indian fabric.
The post world-war second witnessed the launching of large scale
programs by the less developed countries for the development and
expansion of the textile industries along with the older textile producing
countries. These industries put into operation plans for the modernization
and recognition of textile. Consequently the industries find themselves
today up-to-date.
The textile Industry, which launched the industrial revolution, is
now over 200 years old. India is the largest textile producing country in
the world. In terms of installed capacities, production of the cloth and
yarn and employment potential, the textile industry has few equals. We
have the decentralized sector comprising the handloom and the power
looms. The organized cotton mill sector consists of both private mill and
government owned national corporation group of mills and other sector
like the woollen, the raw silk and synthetics, the jute and pure silk.
Production of the silk sector reached a maximum of about 4800
million meters in 1956. Since then there has been gradual reduction. This
is because the average counts of the country as a whole have been
increasing gradually in response to public taste. People prefer finer fabric,
which takes longer time to produce. It is also interesting to note the
steady increase in the blended fabrics as well as 100% non-cotton fabrics
during this period. This accounted for 25% of the total production.

India has had such a rich tradition in textile; we can study the
evolution of textile Industry under two heads:
Natural Fibers
Man made fibers
Natural Fiber:
The origin of the cotton textile Industry, the largest single industry
in the country dates back to 1818 when the first cotton mill was
established at fort Gloster near Calcutta. The grant of protection by the
Government and Swadeshi movement enabled the industry to step rapid
strides. By September 1976 as many as 105 mills were taken over by the
National Textile Corporation.
Man Made Fibers:
Man made textile made their appearance on the Indian scène about
four decades ago. It was only in 1950 that first Rayon manufacturing
unit’s commenced production in India. Subsequently Acetate filament
yarn and staple fibers were added to the cellulose production. However,
cellulose fiber had entered the world scene around the turn of the century
and made their debut in India later. Synthetics on the other hand made
their first world appearance in 1940 and in India in 1962, when the first
Nylon plant was commissioned. The first polyester staple fiber plant went
on stream in 1965 and subsequently plays propylene staplene staple and
acrylic staple came on scene. The man made fiber industry has gathered
momentum over the years. These fibers became popular because of the
following characteristics:

Grasim Harihar Industries
They have a very short life of less 3 to 4 times than, that of cotton
cloth.
Wash and wear qualities of polyester and blended fabrics reduce
the maintenance the cost in terms of washing and ironing of cloths
is reduced.
Prestige values are associated to blended fabrics.
Viscose Staple Fiber:
Grasim is India's pioneer in Viscose Staple Fiber (VSF), a man-
made, biodegradable fiber with characteristics akin to cotton. Extremely
versatile and easily blended with other fibers, VSF is widely used to
manufacture fabrics for both woven and knitted garments. The range of
applications extends from apparel — both top wear and bottom wear —
to home textiles, dress material, knitted inner wear and outer wear, and
non-woven fabrics.
Aditya Birla Group is today the world's largest producer of VSF,
commanding a 24 per cent global market share and meeting over 98 per
cent of India's VSF requirements.
Grasim's VSF plants are located at Nagda in Madhya Pradesh,
Kharach in Gujarat and Harihar in Karnataka, with a combined installed
capacity of 2,51,850 tones per annum. Nagda is its largest unit producing
a wide range of VSF to suit customer requirements in terms of length,
denier and color. Nagda is also the largest producer of spun-dyed
specialty fiber in the world.
The Harihar unit produces rayon grade pulp, the basic raw material
for VSF production and raw white VSF. The Company's rayon grade
plant was the first in India to use totally indigenous resources like
JSS College, Dharwad 3
Grasim Harihar Industries
eucalyptus. It uses an in-house technology for producing rayon pulp with
an innovative oxygen bleaching process to reduce the use of chlorine.
The VSF plant at Kharach, set up in 1997, employs the most
contemporary technology, and today overseas customers demand "fiber
from Kharach". The AV cell unit in Canada, an overseas joint venture,
also supplies dissolving grade chemical pulp to the Group's VSF units in
India, Thailand and Indonesia.
This spread and scale of operations makes the Group's VSF
operations extremely cost competitive. In addition, vertical integration
into production of various principal raw materials required for VSF
production — caustic soda, CS2 and rayon grade pulp — heightens its
competitive edge.
Grasim has earned prestigious awards for its technology and its
innovative range of fibers. Made from wood pulp through an eco-
friendly, non-polluting process developed and patented by the Aditya
Birla Group, it is the world's only heavy-metal-free viscose fiber.
The Birla Research Institute for applied sciences at Nagda along
with the Company's R&D teams endeavors to make technology work for
improving quality, lowering costs and optimizing resources, the
Company's Textile Research Application Development Centre (TRADC),
coming up at Kharach, will continually develop new applications and
products. It will also explore possibilities of strategic alliances with
downstream textile product manufacturers to commercialize the
applications, leveraging superior quality of VSF in terms of feel, comfort,
hygiene and aesthetics.

All of the VSF business offerings have been branded under the
'Birla Cellulose' umbrella. To penetrate into niche market segments, and
to grow further, the division has ventured into the production of high
performance viscose fibers aptly named Viscose Plus, High Wet Modulus
Fibers (Modal) and Birla Excel, the new generation solvent spun fibers.
Grasim is also the largest producer of sodium sulphate, a by-product of
VSF manufacture.

COMPANY PROFILE GRASIM INDUSTRIES HARIHAR POLY FIBER :
A. Background of the Company:
Grasim Industries, a flagship of the Aditya Birla Group was originally
incorporated as Gwalior Rayon Silk Manufacturing (Weaving) Company
in 1947. The company’s key businesses are viscose stable fiber (VSF)
and cement. It also produces sponge iron, chemicals and textiles. Grasim,
which commenced operation in 1950 by manufacturing fabrics using
imported
Rayon (a manmade cellulosic fiber) at Gwalior, has now turned into
India’s top ten largest private sector companies in terms of assets and
sales. The company’s foray into cement became a successful
diversification and now it is the largest producer of cement in India with
the acquisition of UltraTech Cemco (erstwhile L&T). Previously, it
acquired Shree DigVijay Cement, cement division of Indian Rayon and
Dharani Cement.
The company had successful joint ventures abroad that include viscose
staple fiber plants in Thailand & Indonesia and carbon black plants in
JSS College, Dharwad 8
Grasim Harihar Industries
Thailand & Egypt and pulp plant in Canada. Joint ventures in India are
Tanfac Industries, Bina Power Supply Company, Birla AT&T Co and
Bihar Caustic & Chemicals. The company recently divested its stake in
Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals. The company also acquired
controlling stake in Bihar Caustic & Chemicals by an open offer made
during 2002-03. Grasim’s subsidiaries are Kerala Spinners, Sun God
Trading and Investments and Samruddhi Swastik Trading and
Investments.
The company hived off its software business Birla Technologies Ltd
(BTL) to PSI Data Systems, a group company for a consideration of
Rs113mn during the year 2001-02. Further, Grasim has currently hived
off its stake in Indo-Gulf fertilizers as well.
Products:
Viscos Staple Fiber:
The company has 14% of the world market share in VSF. The company
produced 221,005 tons of VSF, which is 2% lower than previous year.
This was due to water scarcity and the closure of Pulp and Fiber plants at
Nagda where the factory remained close for 45 days. To avoid this
problem, they have increased the reservoir at Nagda. The outlook for
VSF looks positive with increasing global demand. The realizations
improved by 6% to Rs72.3/kg. A steep price rise in raw materials led to a
squeeze in the operating margins by 300bps.
Cement Business:
With the current capacity of 13.5mn tons, and when combined with
UltraTech Cemco, its total capacity stands at 31mn tons. While the
cement industry grew at 5%, Grasim grew at 7.5% in volume terms. The
operating margins increased by 200bps driven by higher prices and lower
JSS College, Dharwad 9
Grasim Harihar Industries
power cost. The company gained market share in south where the sales
increased by 11% while in the north and the east, the sales grew by about
8- 9%. West was extremely competitive throughout the year. Key
emphasis is laid on RMC, blended cement, setting up captive power
plants and improving operational efficiencies. The realizations improved
to Rs1, 712/ton.
Textile Business:
The textile business witnessed a turnaround in the current year. It has
gained in terms of volume and profitability. The company’s products are
marketed under the popular brand ‘Grasim’ and ‘Graviera’. The
production grew 17% to 149lakh meters.
Chemical Business:
The company performed well in this business as the production grew by
4% to 157,541 tons. Here, the average realizations grew by 13% to
16,338/ton due to better international market conditions. The operating
margins are up by 400bps due to full capacity utilization of the company.
Sponge Iron:
The company’s sponge iron division is installed with a capacity to
produce 9lac tons per annum of sponge iron located at Salav (in Raigad
Dist) of Maharashtra. It was the star performer in the current year due to
robust steel prices. The average production grew 12% yoy to 687,272
tons and the realizations improved 44% to 9,188/ton.

The Pulping Process at Harihar Polyfibers:
The production process is the isolation of cellulose from the rest of the
wood constituents. The eucalyptus wood logs are chipped in every
efficient high speed fulghum chippers. The chips are screened and cooked
in batch digesters employing prehydrolysis sulphate process. The
liberated cellulose (pulp) along with spent cooling liquor is blown to a
blow tank. The entire digester, washing and bleaching plants have been
automated to reduce steam consumption, improve turbine efficiency,
reduce process variation, reduce chemical consumption and improve
environmental performance.
After; passing through a closed compact; pressure screen, the pulp is
washed in four stage counter current pressure washers screened and
centri- cleaned to remove shives, ash and silica. The pulp is bleached in
multistage bleaching sequence to desired brightness and characteristics,
screened and cetricleaned. The pulp is then de-watered in screw presses,
50% of de-watered pulp at 48-50% moisture content is supplied as such
to fiber plant for production of viscose staple fiber. The balance 50% of
pulp is dried to 68% dry content in rotary flash dryers baled and
dispatched to fiber plant at nagda for production of VSF.

The Fiber process at Grasilence Division:
The unit is manufacturing VSF Grasisik by adopting in house
development and patented friendly Zinc free process. In this process there
is no generation of hazardous waste.
The manufacturing process starts with steeping of rayon grade pulp in
caustic soda solution and separating the excess lye in slurry press to
obtain a mat of alkai cellulose. The alkai cellulose is shredded and
maturing drum and they reacted with carbon disulphide under vacuum in
simplexs to yield cellulose Xanthante. The xanthate is dissolved in
caustic soda to give a honey like liquid called “viscose”.
The viscose is then filtered in 3 stages of filtration using continuous
filters, deaerated and ripened under controlled conditions in spinning
tanks. It is then extruded as filaments through noble metal spinnerets on a
spinning machine into a spinning bath containing sulphuiric acid, sodium
sulphate and special additives. The filaments are then cut into fiber form
of required staple length. The fiber mat is further treated in an after
treatment machine where it is washed, de-sulphurished with caustic soda,
bleached with hypo chlorite, finished with finishing, agents, opened and
dried in drum dryer. This viscose staple fiber is then baled and sold.
Viscose staple fiber is a most versatile fiber, which is widely used in
commodity textile applications either as 100% fiber is in blends with
synthetic fibers such as polyester, cotton, acrylic, wool etc., this as
resulted in the improvement in the quality of the blended fabrics at
reduced cost. Cotton and viscose are the only two fibers, which are
biodegradable.
The other attributes that position VSF superiority over cotton are:
13% moisture regain as compared to 7% for cotton.
Soft feel for comfortable wear.

INFRASTRUCTURAL FACILITIES:
Water Treatment:
Water constitutes one of the major physical environments of man. It is
used almost for all purposes. Like bathing, drinking, industry etc. This
water contains varying amounts of organic and inorganic contaminants
may be dissolved suspended or colloidal. Hence the aim of water
treatment is to produce water fit to be used as boiler feed and other
purpose.
HPF gets water from Tungabhadra River. This water is generally low in
mineral contents but will have lot of floating matters as well dissolved
solids. Depending upon the quality of raw water the treatment is carried
out in the plant. The different steps involved in treating this water are:
1. Sedimentation with coagulation.
2. Filtration.
3. Demineralization.
4. Softening.
Intake well supplies about 48000 M3-50000 M3 of river water per day
for pumps of 250 HP capacities are provided fro this. The PH o water
ranges between 7.8-8 comes to constant head tank where coagulating
agents like polyaluminium chloride and soda ash is added to water. Now
a day they are adding PAC because the river water contains less turbidity.
If more turbidity is in river water then alum and soda ash are added The

perform and what rules and procedures exist to guide the various
activities performed by members are all part of organizational structure.

THE MCKINSEY’S 7S MODEL
The hard elements of McKinsey’s model are feasible and easy to
identify. They can be found in strategy statements, corporate plans,
organizational charts and other documentations.
The four soft S’s however, are hardly feasible. They are difficult to
describe since capabilities, values and elements of corporate culture are
continuously developing and changing. They are highly determined by
the people at work in the organization. Therefore it is much more difficult
to plan or to influence the characteristics of the soft elements. Although
the soft factors are below the surface, they can have a great impact of the
hard structures, strategies and systems of organization.

SWOT ANALYSIS:
Strengths: Double digit growth rate: Cement demand has grown in tandem with strong economic
growth; derived from:

Grasim Harihar Industries
-Growth in housing sector (over 30%) key demand driver;
-Infrastructure projects like ports, airports, power projects, dam &
irrigation projects
-National Highway Development Programme
-Bharat Nirman Yojana for rural infrastructure
-Rise in industrial projects
-Export potential also demand driver
Capacity utilization over 90%
Weakness: Low value commodity:
Cement Industry is highly fragmented
Industry is also highly regionalized
Low – value commodity makes transportation over long distances
un-economical
Opportunities: Demand–supply gap: Substantially lower per capita cement consumption as compared to
developing countries (1/3 rd of world average)
Additional capacity of 12 million tons per annum will be required
to match the demand
Limited green field capacity addition in pipeline for next two years,
leading to favorable demand – supply scenario
Threats: Rising input costs: Government intervention to adjust cement prices
Possibility of over bunching of capacities in the long term as some
of the players have already announced new capacities
Transportation cost is scaling high; bottleneck due to loading
restrictions

Coal prices climbing up; industry players say current shortage of
coal in the country is estimated to be over 10 million tones
