PTACrude Oil

Behaviour of PTA & Crude Oil Prices

16% fall in PTA prices since September : showing signs of better margins, way aheadFalling crude price pushes down Paraxylene prices resulting in softening PTA Prices

Promising Outlook

1. Global trade in textile & clothing to touch $ 700 – 800 bn by 2010 from existing $ 460 bn

2. India’s export to grow from $ 15 bn to $ 50 bn in 2010

Even considering only a 15% share of the incremental global opportunity of over $ 300 bn

Share in global textile trade to grow from about 4% today to 6% by 2010

3. With GDP growth of 6-8%, domestic per capita consumption expected to rise from 4.7 Kg. (World : 9.9 Kg.) to 6-7 Kg. by 2010

Factors Influencing Polyester Growth

1. Competitive Prices of Polyester to that of Cotton due to softening of PTA & MEG Prices

2. Abundant availability of PTA & MEG 3. Cotton fiber Supply Demand gap widening, good quality

cotton availability is increasingly becoming critical 4. Textile Industry a Priority sector for GOI, Major investment

in place across Spinning, Texturizing, Weaving, Processing and

Garmenting Industry5. Large Scale Expansions in Downstream Industry 6. Addition of 2.4 Mn Spindles per annum in Spinning

industry7. Estimated 300 Texturizing machines being added by 2008

In Short…

Favourable business environment to drive growth…

Polyester Industry Performance

(4) Robust growth in downstream industry

(1) Softening PTA / MEG prices

(2) Tariff rationalization

(3) Cotton prices on upswing

Factors influencing the

performance of

Indo Rama and the path

ahead…

16

16

Negative factors For the period April to Sept 2006 :

1. Steep increase in crude oil prices

2. Tight availability of Raw materials

3. Increase in Raw material prices

4. Sharp rise in Furnace oil prices Lead to big jump in power & fuel cost

5. Cheap availability of cotton

17

17

Positive factors 1. Reduction in excise duty of Raw Materials

• Duty on PTA reduced to 8% from 16%

• Duty on MEG reduced to 12% from 16%

2. Reduction in excise duty of Finished Goods • Duty on Polyester FG reduced to 8% from 16%

18

18

Against this back drop IndoRama is well positioned to take the advantage of favourable factors for Polyester and its anticipated robust demand

India Polyester Staple installed capacity to go up from 0.699 Mn Tonnes to 1.20 Mn Tonnes by 2007 India PFY installed capacity to increase form 1.52 Mn Tonnes to an estimated 1.98 Mn Tonnes by 2007

Market Estimates

19

19

Way forward1. Reduced production cost :

Commissioning of new polyester plant Economies of scale and advanced technology

Reduction in raw material cost due to improved PTA & MEG supply domestically as well as internationally

Reduction in power & fuel cost due to reduced FO prices and commissioning of CPP

2. Increased demand of Polyester : Less availability of quality cotton due to increasing

demand Domestic Polyester consumption showing rapid growth Huge export potential after Quota free regime

3. Thus both top line & bottom line are expected to show healthy increase in future quarters to come

20

20

Marketing Strategy

1. We will widen our customer base through competitive pricing and value added services

2. Additional Sales Volumes through Export Focus

3. Enlargement of Product basket by producing niche products to serve premium markets both Domestically as well as Internationally
