GNFC vs Chemicals (2021 - 2026)
Question: "With the additional capacity of 163,000 tonnes for AN Melt, will our total capacity be approximately 363,000 tonnes?"
Answer: Yes, our current capacity is 175,000 metric tonnes per annum. The additional 163,000 tonnes will bring our total capacity to approximately 338,000 tonnes when it starts around July 2027.
Question: "Will the expansion include production of LDN as well as AN Melt?"
Answer: This expansion is solely for AN Melt. We assessed the potential for LDN but concluded the market premiums did not justify additional investment in that product.
Question: "Are the prices for WNA and CNA in India rising in line with global ammonia prices?"
Answer: Yes, WNA and CNA prices are increasing slightly; however, demand has been impacted by extended rains, preventing an increase in nitric acid prices, which are crucial for these products.
Question: "Will our ammonia requirements be fully met through captive production?"
Answer: After the expansions, we will still be short of around 35,000 tonnes of ammonia for our requirements and will need to source this from external suppliers.
Question: "What were the production volumes for WNA, CNA, AN Melt, and TDI in Q2?"
Answer: In Q2, we produced approximately 36,000 tonnes of AN Melt, 40,000 tonnes of CNA, 113,000 tonnes of WNA, and around 15,600 tonnes of TDI.
Question: "Has A.T. Kearney provided any finalized cost savings recommendations yet?"
Answer: A.T. Kearney has identified areas for cost savings, primarily in procurement and operations, and we expect annualized savings to be in the range of a few hundred crores over the next year.
Question: "What are the capex commitments for the ammonia, WNA, and power projects?"
Answer: For the power project, INR 536 crores has been committed of the total INR 613 crores, INR 306 crores of INR 331 crores for the ammonia project, and INR 1,128 crores of INR 1,420 crores for weak nitric acid.
Question: "What is the status of the INR 20,000 crore demand notice from the Department of Telecommunications?"
Answer: We have a strong case against this demand, which has been ongoing since 2021. It is currently with the TDSAT, and we believe it is unlikely to materialize due to the nature of our business.
Question: "What is the company's stance on initiating methanol production for acetic acid?"
Answer: Currently, the economics do not support resuming methanol production. We are purchasing it from the market as the prices do not favor captive production at this time.
Question: "Will there be any changes to the company's dividend or buyback policies due to upcoming capex?"
Answer: Decisions regarding dividends and buybacks are taken by the Board based on several factors, and it would be premature to comment specifically on any changes at this time.
