Consolidated Revenues – Business Wise Breakup:

COMPANY PROFILEGujarat Fluorochemicals Limited (GFL), a subsidiary of Inox Leasing and Finance Limited, and incorporated in 1987, has

evolved as the largest producer of chloromethanes, refrigerants and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in India. The

Company is a part of the Inox Group, which is diversified across the industrial gases, engineering plastics, refrigerants,

chemicals, cryogenic engineering, renewable energy and entertainment sectors.

GFL was incorporated in 1987 after it set up India’s largest refrigerant plant in Ranjitnagar, Gujarat. The Company

primarily supplied CFC and HCFC to more than 75 countries across the globe. As CFC and HCFC were eventually

phased out under the Montreal Protocol, in 2007 the Company forward integrated into PTFE (Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene)

by commissioning one of the worlds’s most integrated and technologically advanced PTFE facility in Dahej, Gujarat.

GFL is fully focused on and diversified within fluorine chemistry, making refrigerant gases, Fluoro-intermediates and a

host of fluoropolymers. Fluorine chemistry is the most interesting molecule today due to its increasing use in life saving

pharma molecules, dose efficient and eco-friendly crop protection chemicals a host of fluoropolymers meeting increasing

demands from automotive, semis, mobile telephony, oil & gas, and high speed LAN cables.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The Fluoropolymers Industry:

The market size of high performance fluoropolymers is estimated to grow from US$ 3.69 billion in 2017 to US$ 5.08

billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 6.6%, according to the report “High Performance Fluoropolymers Market – Global

Forecast to 2022” by Markets and Markets, a global research firm. The market is driven due to the replacement of

conventional materials by HPFs in various end-use industries such as electrical & electronics, medical industrial

processing, and transportation for high temperature applications, as well as improved regulations by the regional

environment associations.

Fluorpolymers 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

Document code: FOTL_061220185_2 Copyright © 2016 Firstobject Technologies Ltd. All rights reserved

China, South Korea and Japan, in light of increasing domestic demand, along with presence of R&D base, is expected to

augment growth in the near future, according to a report by Grand View Research.

Uses of Fluoropolymers

Data Communication

Renewable Energy

Chemical Process Industries

Automotive

Electricals & Electronics

Cookware

Fabrics

Aerospace

Building Applications

The utility of fluoropolymers arises from properties such as high temperature resistance, outstanding chemical resistance,

better toughness, outstanding electrical properties, and low coefficient of friction. Fluoropolymers are also being used in

coatings for all-weather apparel and non-stick cookware. Fluoropolymers are widely used in numerous chemical plants

and various semiconductor parts as they are maintenance-free even under severe circumstances and contribute to

improving productivity. The excellent performance of fluoropolymers in extreme environments and demanding

applications act as major drivers for the global fluoropolymer market.

The PTFE Landscape:

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a fast-growing fluoropolymer formed by the polymerisation of monomer

tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) in presence of an initiator. It is also combined with other materials such as glass fibers, carbon,

and graphite to improve its mechanical properties. It is found in numerous product types ranging from flexible foam to

elastomers, and from rigid foams to solid compositions.

Features of PFTE:

Extreme chemical inertness

Excellent heat resistance

Optimum dielectric properties

Low frictional co-efficient

Key Growth Drivers for PTFE:

Consumption of PTFE by the medical industry is high in North America and Europe.

In North America, PTFE is also used by the chemical and industrial processing and automotive sectors.

Development in the automotive, aerospace, and other transportation systems is anticipated to drive the fluoropolymer

market in Asia Pacific.

Lightweight materials are preferred in most industries owing to the need for enhanced fuel efficiency and lower emission,

giving rise to the growth of fluoropolymers market in India, China and Japan.

Electronics and electrical is the largest end-user industry of fluoropolymers, where they are gradually being preferred for

usage in cable and wire insulation, jacketing, lithium-ion batteries, and semiconductor fabrication.

Technological development in the field of electronics, particularly in South Korea and Taiwan, has led to increase in

utilization of these materials to enable superior tensile strength and high thermal stability.

Global PTFE Market:

The global PTFE market is forecast to exhibit a CAGR of 4.6% between 2016 and 2024, reaching a size of US$ 3.57

billion by 2024, up from US$ 1.87 billion in 2015. 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.

Management Outlook:

The company aim to become a leading fluoropolymer player globally. The outlook for company’s 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. Company’s vision for 2020 is to consolidate the capacities company had created in each business

segment, especially in fluoropolymers and operate these in a world-class and safe manner to serve its global customers as

a reliable, long-term and high quality supply chain partner. Company’s backward integration plan also provides 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, company hope to leverage on this, being

the only producer of fluoropolymers.

Over the next few years, the Company will be ramping up capacity utilization, improving realizations 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-feed stocks.

The Company has already incurred a capex of around Rs. 20000 mn to build-up the current capacities and the integrated

value chain. Since most of the capex on creating capacities has already been incurred, the proposed 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.
