| | Fixed cost compensation to urea units-I: Not implemented yet | Aug 21:
The DOF is still sitting on the decision to allow Rs 350 per tonne of as fixed cost under NPS-III
8The increase in fixed cost was approved by the Group of Ministers in January, 2014 and this was approved by the cabinet in February, 2014
8The policy in fact was notified by the DOF in April, 2014 and yet the long due payments have not come through yet
8The point to note is that the fixed cost element pertains to the year year 2012-13 as compared to the year 2002-03 and was based on certified cost data. In fact the weighted average during 2002-03 was Rs 521 per tonne and the average during 2008-09 was in the four components -- salaries & wages, contact labor, selling expenses and repair & maintenance -- came to Rs 1003 per MT
8But the government in its wisdom decided to grant a maximum ceiling of Rs 350 MT under NPS-III.
8Why is this increase in fixed cost not put into effect three years after the decision to reimburse was taken.
8The problem with urea manufacturing today is that the actual return is way lower than the normative return promised under the policy
8Part of the reason for this is the indecision at the DOF over reimbursement of this outstanding amount

Details | | Fixed cost compensation to urea units-II: Case by case approval likely now; "discriminatory", cries other units | Aug 21:
It is now learnt that a highly discriminatory case-by-case approval process of this fixed cost element is now on.
8The policy called for payment of a fixed cost element of Rs 350 per tonne under NPS-III.
8The policy also says that after adding Rs 350, if the fixed cost of a unit is less than this amount, then an additional amount will be paid to ensure that the minimum fixed cost is Rs 2300
8The DOF is reported to be clearing a policy wherein payment is to be made only to those units which reach the Rs 2300 per tonne mark
8No payments are to be made to those who are above this ceiling.
8Clearly such a policy, if followed, will require the sanction of the CCEA, but an approval is not being sought so far, highly placed sources said.

Details | | DAP market update | Aug 21:
 8DAP retail prices in Sangli district of Maharashtra have shown a downward trend from the month of November'16 to August'17.
8During the period, a fall of 5pc has been recorded for both ZACL and Deepak Fertilizers.
8Similarly, a dip of 9pc has also been recorded for HINDALCO which has gone down from Rs1130/50 kg to Rs1060/50 kg bag in the last couple of months.
8Whereas, ZACL's retail prices were slightly on the higher side than the other companies on account of better brand equity.
8HINDALCO's DAP is being sold at Rs40/50kg bag lower than Deepak and ZACL.
8A lower price works better for HINDALCO as instead of the other way around, as it is also preferred by farmers as its price is always lower.
8In the last couple of months, the state has not been receiving enough rainfall which has resulted in slow movement of fertilizers in the market.

Details | | $5 billion Iran-India underwater gas pipeline: More than a pipedream | Aug 18:
The $5 billion SAGE Middle to India Deepwater Pipeline -- that seeks to ferry around 30 mmscmd of gas from Iran to India -- is being pushed with much doggedness by its New Delhi-based private promoters. There is even talk of building another parallel pipeline soon after the first one is done!
8Several years of efforts have culminated in a presentation made before the Iranian oil minister recently.
8The promoters have calculated that the landed price of piped gas at around $1-2/mmbtu cheaper than LNG.
8The Iranians seem interested in the fact that only transportation tariff will be applicable in comparison to liquefaction charges, transportation tariff and regas charges applicable to LNG.
8The point to note is that a reasonable amount of footwork has already been done by the promoters in terms of identifying and testing out deepwater pipeline manufacturers, lay vessels and a repair systems for the deepwater pipeline.

Details | | Our project software-III: Why we employ only mechanical engineers | Aug 14:
We employ only mechanical engineers for to fill up our database and prospect for business development opportunities.
8Why do we do so?
8The reason is that they understand the dynamics of an industrial facility or unit better than anyone else.
8We split up a power plant or a refinery into its major industrial components, going down to the level of the boiler or the turbine or the heat exchanger.
8The idea is to allow our engineers to understand the dynamics from bottom up, so that when they are interviewing their contacts, they are able to quickly collect the relevant information needed to fill up our databases.
8And we know mechanical engineers can do that job better than anyone else.
8Our database therefore has many unique usages since we have laboriously built it up, bottom up
8We can, for example, provide you component wise business development prospects in the segments in which we are present.
8If you are, say, a pump supplier, you can search the database on the basis of the pumps that you supply for a future business development prospect
8What is more, we allow you to be directly in touch with our engineers. If you need a clarification, or you want to check out something you have heard, just call up one of our engineers and he will help you out.
8Business development in India is a stressful and complicated exercise.
8We just made it simple for you.
Contact us for more
Details | | Our project software-II: How our contact directory is different | Aug 14:
The most important point to note is that we just do not provide you with a list of relevant contacts. We go far beyond that.
8Every contact comes with a rich tapestry of information on the facility and the unit in which the contact is present, along with attendant business development prospects.
In an industrial facility, we give you a whole lot of additional information including
-- Technology parameters
-- Design and actual Input-Output data for every raw material and product
-- Multi-parameter utility matrix
-- Long term maintenance contracts
-- Feedstock data
-- NIC codes
8A facility is further split up into its individual units and for each unit we have a similar set of parameters as in the facility
8And for each unit or facility, we have a resultant business development prospect, either in terms of maintenance prospect or a capital project, be an additional expansion or debottlenecking or a revamp or a new capital project
8The point to note is that we are always looking ahead and never behind, giving you exclusive information not on a tender that is already out but on a genuine future prospect, which may be a month, six months, a year or two years away from being tendered out.
8Having worked in the business for more than two decades, we know what you are looking for.
8India has so far had a poor business prospect database because the existing databases do not fulfill the requirements of a business development manager. What we have done is just plugged that gap
8For you, a deal can just be a phone call away
Contact us or fill up the registration form to know more about what we have to offer
Details | | Our project software-I: For us, a contact list is more than what meets the eye | Aug 14:
A contact list usually conjures up the image of a directory in which names, designations and the companies are available. But for is a contact list is much more than that.
8For us however it is a lot more more than that.
8A contact list is one of our most effective business development tools for a manager. And it is a dynamic phone validated tool that keeps changing ever so often as people get posted in or out of key designations.
8We go to extraordinary lengths to give you at least 5 to 8 key contacts within each company, facility and unit or project. And these are not just people in a company but people who are directly responsible for giving out business.
8Then again, the onus of implementing a project moves from an owner to the contractor, and we shift our focus accordingly, giving you a list of phone validated contact numbers for every contractor associated with a project because we know that these contractors in turn will give our sub-contracts which you may be interested in.
8We understand that striking a deal is all about building relationships with the right people at the right time.
8So not everyone figures in our contact list. We pick and chose departmental heads who you can talk business with.
Among the departments that we keep track of within a given industrial facility are:
8Facility in-charge
8Purchase in-charge
8Engineering in-charge
8Projects in-charge
8Logistics in-charge
8HSE in-charge
8IT in-charge
8We also have contact lists within every unit and a facility. There is an independent contact list too for the company or for headquarters.
8A Google map will provide you the exact location where the contact is situated
We know that a valid contact list within a running project is of paramount importance for you.
We give you the right onsite names of the:
8Manager representing the owner
8Manager representing the EPC or PMC contractor
8Manager representing the various sub contractors in the project
Contact us to know more about what we have to offer
