CH-3: FUNCTIONAL AREAS
Around 75% of our HCFC22, PTFE, PFA, FEP, FKM sales are in the export markets. The
major markets that we export HCFC22 to are the Middle East, South Asia and Japan. PTFE
exports are largely to Europe and USA.
REFRIGEREANT BUSINESS:
FLUOROPOLYMERS BUSINESS:
Fluoropolymers play a vital role in numerous services and products that are frequently
used by human beings in their day-to-day activities. They are extensively used in
numerous applications for various industries including automobiles, electrical and
electronics and chemicals processing industries owing to its high heat resistance and
excellent tensile strength. Rising demand for the polymer for manufacturing semi-
conductors which are used in electrical appliances including computers and smart
phones is expected to drive growth. The growing electronics industry, particularly in
China, South Korea and Japan are the focused segments of fluoropolymers business.
Market demand for PTFE is growing considerably due to the emerging industry
applications. Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing market for
fluoropolymers. Asia Pacific held the dominant 44.3% of the global PTFE market in
2015, followed by Europe and North America. The demand in this region is projected
to grow on account of persistent growth in the chemical industry in this region.
Demand for fluoropolymer materials in the region is estimated to be chiefly driven by
a swift rise in consumption of fluoropolymers in India and China. There is also a
growing demand for PTFE in Asia-Pacific due to the continuous industrial expansion
there. An increase in the purchasing power of PTFE in the developing countries and
the need for high-performance products is adding to the high demand in the future.
Over the next few years, US and Europe will contribute majorly to the rising demand,
fueling the PTFE market in North America. Untapped opportunities across developing
regions and innovative strategies adopted by leading players are seen resulting in
faster growth over the years.
REFRIGERANT BUSNIESSS:
Refrigerants gases used in the room air conditioner, central plant, pharmaceutical and
chemical industries, and in precision refrigeration. Highest use of refrigerants are in
central plant is 50%. GFL supplies refrigerants in all segments customer like
industries, refrigerator manufacturer, precision and fridge manufacture companies and
customers who involved in central plant.
GFL produces all type of refrigerant shows in chart. R22 and R410A refrigerants are
most used gases so GFL have high capacity plants to produce them. Their refrigerants
plant capacity is depended on requirement and demand.
3.1.4 PRODUCT WISE SALES VOLUME AND SALES REVENUE OVER THE
LAST FEW YEARS
Caustic Soda revenue grew by 35%, from 3.41 billion to 4.60 billion.
Chloromethane revenue grew 13%, from 2.35 billion to 2.65 billion.
Refrigerants revenue grew 36%, from 2.30 billion to 3.13 billion.
PTFE revenue increased by 47%, from 5.09 billion to 7.50 billion.
Other products went up by 137% from 1.13 billion to 2.68 billion.
As a result, overall sales from the Chemical business (inclusive of excise duty),
which was 15.32 billion in FY2019, went up by 36% to 20.84 billion in FY2019.
Revenue growth from the Chemical business (other than subsidiaries) went up by
36% from 15.32 billion to 20.84 billion.
We aim to become a leading fluoropolymer player globally. The outlook for our
business is steadfast with a robust business model, competition from China
lessening and with fluoropolymers growing at a healthy pace of 6% to 7% CAGR
globally.
Our vision for 2020 is to consolidate the capacities we have created in each
business segment, especially in fluoropolymers and operate these in a world-class
and safe manner to serve our global customers as a reliable, long-term and
highquality supply chain partner.
Our backward integration plan also provides us with a competitive base to stand
upon. Further, PTFE, FKM, FEP, PFA and PVDF are versatile fluoropolymers
going into about 20 top industries, which take care of >75% of India’s GDP.
As the GDP grows, we hope to leverage on this, being the only producer of
fluoropolymers. Over the next few years, the Company will be ramping up
capacity utilisation, improving realisations by churning product mix in favor of
higher value added grades, and implementing cost reduction schemes.
It will also be value adding by diversifying into fluoro-speciality chemicals as
well as other fluoro-polymers, based on low-cost captive availability of a host of
fluoro-feedstocks. The Company has already incurred a capex of around Rs 2,000
crore to build-up the current capacities and the integrated value chain. Since most
of the capex on creating capacities has already been incurred, theproposed value
addition will need a marginal capex. Barring unforeseen circumstances and
considering build-up for these initiatives, the Company plans to incur additional
capex and estimates to reap the benefits of these initiatives by April 2020.
The key operational highlights of the year 2020 were:
o Capacity enhancement in PTFE.
o Setting up of new polymers (PFA, FEP, PVDF) and VDF, and additives
plants.
This diagram shows the input/output relation of raw materials and products. It shows
just main raw material required in production of specific chemical product, there so
many raw material used in the manufacturing process.
Natural gas and coal used as a fuel in captive power plant to fulfil the power
requirement of plant. Caustic and chlorine raw material used to produce chlorine
based products, methanol wart material used to produce products like hydrochloric
acid and Methylene Di-chloride. Fluorspar is also used as main raw material to
produce fluoro specialities, and chloroform and fluorospr both used in the production
of various types of refrigerants.
