One should carefully consider all of the information in this Draft Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment decision. Risks have been quantified, wherever possible. If any of the following risks actually occur, the business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer, the trading price of the Equity Shares may decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. A. INTERNAL TO THE COMPANY 1. Non-availability of raw material and other resources Alcohol industry being a raw material intensive industry, the Company is constantly exposed to possible unpredictability in the supply of raw materials. Disruption in the supply of raw material may lead to hampering of the production process flow. Uncertainty over the availability of raw materials such as molasses, grains and other sources such as water, power, skilled manpower etc may also affect the Company’s operations and in turn the profitability of the Company. Management Perception The main raw material viz., molasses is procured from the numerous sugar mills in the Company’s neighbourhood. All the major raw materials are easily available in the vicinity of the plant site. The plant site is well connected with public roads thus ensuring an uninterrupted supply of raw materials. The Company, in order to reduce its dependence on molasses as primary raw material, is setting up an Alcohol plant, which would have the capacity to run on both grain and molasses. 2. Prices of Raw Material and Finished product The Company is mainly engaged in manufacture of Country liquor, Rectified Spirit, and IMFL products, and the main raw material is molasses, which is a by-product of Sugar industry. Due to shortfall in sugarcane production, on account of drought during any season, there could be substantial increase in the prices of molasses, which could affect the profitability of the Company. Management Perception Increase in prices of molasses is purely seasonal in nature and the prices settle down with each new sugarcane crop season. In the event, there is a fall in supply of molasses, the Company, in order to tide over the situation, will import molasses at competitive prices from neighbouring countries. With a very robust sugar industry currently, the Company does not foresee any major fall in production of molasses, and consequently does not see any adverse price volatility. Also, the Company, in order to reduce dependence on molasses, is setting up a 50 KLPD Grain cum Molasses based plant in the current project. 3. Rise in Input Costs The input costs of the products of the Company may increase due to various reasons. In case the Company is not able to pass on such increase to the consumers because of competition or otherwise, it may affect the profitability of the Company. Management Perception The Company constantly endeavours to procure raw materials and packing materials at the lowest prices using its long-term association with the suppliers and constantly developing new sources. The Company will also follow prudent pricing policy to keep the costs under check. The risk on account of price fluctuation in raw material is reduced to a significant extent by passing incremental raw material cost to the prices of finished products thereby insulating the Company from fluctuation in raw material prices. Profitability will depend upon the extent up to which the company is able to pass on the burden of rise in the price of raw material to the consumers. 4. Change in Technology Any failure to keep abreast of the latest trends in the IMFL industry may adversely affect the competitiveness and ability of the Company to compete with newer generation products. Management Perception The Company is in the liquor business for over 35 years, and has the requisite experience and ability to adapt to newer generation products and technology. The Company is well aware of the development of market description, consumer preferences, competition, regulations etc. vii 5. The Company’s sustained growth depends on its ability to attract and retain skilled personnel. Failure of the Company to attract and retain skilled personnel could adversely affect the Company’s growth prospects. Management Perception The Company has devised a sound human resource policy to develop and retain its key management personnel and talent and the Company has been able to retain significant part of its manpower, talent and its employee turnover has been very low over the years. 6. Termination of Bottling Arrangements The Company has entered into bottling arrangements with other companies for IMFL supplies. The Company is therefore exposed to the inability of any of such tie-up units to market their brands of IMFL effectively due to any reason. Either party can terminate these tie-up contracts. Further details of these contracts or arrangements are given on page no. 95 and 99 of this Draft Prospectus. Management Perception In such an eventuality, the Company can either try to utilize the capacity available or enter into contracts with other well-known brands to cater to their requirement. Moreover, these tie-ups are reciprocal in nature and it is a practice followed by most of the companies in this trade and the Company does not foresee any problem in this area. 7. Time and Cost overrun The Company, as regards this Project, has made certain assumptions on the time frame by which the Project will be completed. Also, the sanctioning of the loans is contingent on the satisfaction of certain conditions such as raising of funds through IPO etc. In case there is a delay in complying with any of the conditions, it may result in time and cost over run, which in turn may adversely impact the future profitability. Management Perception The Company hopes to work in a time-bound implementation schedule as mentioned at page nos. 34 and 35 of the Draft Prospectus. 8. Size of the Project The total cost of the project is Rs. 5000 lakhs, excluding IPO expenses. Although the promoters have experience in the Alcohol industry, their competence in handling a project of this magnitude remains to be demonstrated. An equity investor is therefore faced with an uncertainty of performance by the management. Management Perception The Company has drawn out a business plan for the activities to be pursued in the alcohol industry. The promoters of the Company have considerable experience in this business segment of over 35 years, and the business having been the sole enterprise of the promoter family spanning four generations, the promoters foresee an overall long-term economic viability. The Company has also appointed senior and experienced Professionals who have the experience of setting up similar facilities in the past. Moreover, the promoters view the present optimistic scenario in the Alcohol sector as an opportunity to enlarge the scale of the operations of the Company. Please refer page nos. 123 and 120 to 121 of this Draft Prospectus for profile of the promoters and experience of key managerial personnel respectively. 9. Delay in raising funds from the IPO The expansion plan of the company is partially funded from this IPO. Any delay /failure of the same, may adversely impact the implementation of the project. Management Perception The management is aware of the fact, and although no failure or delay is envisaged, it will make alternate funding arrangements through an equitable mix of secured/unsecured loans and contribution from the promoters, should there be any eventuality such as delay or failure of IPO. 10. Orders yet to be placed for capital goods relating to project The Company is yet to place Orders for plant & machinery, miscellaneous fixed assets and civil works aggregating to Rs. 4700 lakhs, which constitutes over [*] of the total project cost. Management Perception The Company has already floated enquiries for all the main equipments and the quotations from various parties have already been received. Since the Company has already set up similar facilities, it will have an advantage to identify and select the right supplier at competitive rates. The Company proposes to order for all the items in the next eight to twelve week’s time. viii 11. Further equity offerings The company may require further infusion of funds to satisfy its capital needs and future growth plans, which it may not be able to procure. Any future equity offerings by the company may lead to dilution of equity and may affect the market price of its Equity Shares. Management Perception In the near future, there are no plans to issue further equity shares. In case the Company decides to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, the same would be done for further value creation for the shareholders of the company and after taking adequate consent from them. 12. Loss Making Companies promoted by the Promoters The following group companies of the Promoter Group have made losses during the last three financial years: i. Companies promoted by Mrs. Ved Vati Swarup 1. Jagdish Brahma Ice Factory 2. Meenakshi Industries & Finance Pvt. Ltd. ii. Companies promoted by Mr. Madhav Kumar Swarup 1. Ridhi Estate Pvt. Ltd. 2.

The Company’s dependence on its promoters is tremendous, and any inability on the part of the promoters to contribute to the growth and business of the Company may affect its performance. Management Perception The Company is dependent on the experience and efforts of its promoters, as is applicable to any other company/industry. However, the Company has been in this business for nearly four decades. Generations of the promoters’ family have been associated with the Company and its business since inception. The promoters have been involved with critical functions like development of new products, marketing, and other operations of the Company. The Company also has a qualified team of marketing executives, finance professionals and other professionals who are involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company. This reduces the company’s dependence on the promoters to manage the operations of the company. 16. No knowledge of Branding and poor geographical spread of products Management Perception The Company already has branded products in other segments i.e., Country liquor and its market share has picked up from the year 2001 when the branding of country liquor started in Uttar Pradesh. At present, the Company is covering western Uttar Pradesh region, and is planning to increase the spread of its brand. Through bottling of UB Group’s products, the Company’s name in the market has improved. The Company is making efforts to acquire CSD registered brand, which it would supply to the Defence services. Thus, the brand will have the requisite presence in CSD market. With some efforts, the Company will make its presence in the civil market as well. The IMFL marketing strength is proposed to be strengthened by taking a Marketing head to lead this division. 17. No distribution network of IMFL Management Perception In UP, the distribution network/channel that is developed for country liquor will be used for IMFL products. In CSD supplies, as an established brand will be acquired, no extra burden for promotions will be required, but only supplies are to be fulfilled. In the civil market, with a new IMFL suitable team, a marketing distribution network will be set up. 18. Franchise bottling with UB Group is a potential threat Management Perception At present, the Company is bottling a number of UB Group products. After acquiring and developing its own brands, the Company is of the opinion that there will not be any direct conflict of interest, as the Company will continue to supply to CSD, and simultaneously enter in the IMFL civil market with products which will not be in direct competition with UB Group products. xi 19. The Project/Objects of the Issue for which funds are being raised have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution Management Perception The Project for which the funds are being raised has not been appraised by any bank or financial institution. However, the Company has in-house expertise of nearly four decades in this business, and it is going ahead with this project and intends to procure items and, machinery from established and wellknown suppliers of such equipments. The Project’s debt component of Rs. 12 crores has been sanctioned by SREI Infrastructure Finance Ltd vide its letter no. SIFL:IPF:2005-06 dated January 24, 2006. 20. The Company has Unsecured loans amounting to Rs. 676.83 lakhs comprising Rs. 26.96 lakhs raised from its Directors, and Rs. 649.87 lakhs raised from Others. The entire Unsecured loan amount bears no interest and is repayable on Demand. In the event of any demand, the cash outgo may affect the Company’s operations and profitability. Management Perception The Company has more than reasonable assurance from its lenders that there will be no bulk and sudden withdrawal of the above loan. However, the management has adequate reserves to make such payment in the event of such a withdrawal, and therefore is of the opinion that it will not affect the Company’s operations or profitability. 21. Our company is involved in the following legal proceedings: Our company is involved in certain civil, regulatory and taxation proceedings. These legal proceedings are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts and tribunals. Should any new developments arise, such as a change in Indian law or rulings against us by trial or appellate courts or tribunals, we may need to make provisions in our financial statements, which could increase our expenses and our current liabilities.

Certain current and earlier non-compliances: The Company was not compliant with certain requirements of the Companies Act as regards formation of Audit Committee and Remuneration Committee. In terms of the provisions of the Act the Company is compulsorily required to have the following committees: (a). Audit Committee (Section 292A): The Company’s paid-up capital was increased to Rs. 5 crores on 31.8.1994. In terms of the provisions of section 292A of the Act, every company having a paid-up capital of Rs. 5 crore or more is required to constitute an Audit committee, which shall comprise of at least three directors as its members and two third of its total number shall be the directors other than the managing/ whole-time directors. The Company had not complied with the provisions earlier. However, the Company has now complied with the requirement and formed the Audit Committee. (b) Remuneration Committee (Schedule XIII): The Company has been paying remuneration to its managing/ whole-time director in terms of the requirements and within the limits specified in section II of Part II of Schedule XIII (i.e., Remuneration payable by companies having no profits or inadequate profits). In terms of the requirement of schedule XIII to the Act, payment of remuneration in such cases has to be approved by a Remuneration Committee. Remuneration Committee for this purpose shall be a committee, which consists of three non-executive independent directors including nominee director(s). The Company had not constituted the Remuneration Committee. However, the Company has now complied with the requirement and formed the Remuneration Committee. (c). The Company has its corporate office in Delhi. The Company however does not have registration under the Delhi Shops and Establishment Act for its place of business. xiii B. EXTERNAL TO THE COMPANY 1. IMFL industry is heavily regulated by the Government The business of the Company is subject to the State government policy on excise. Changes in the fiscal policies of the Government could have an adverse impact on the profitability of the Company. A significant change in the Government liberalization and deregulation policies could affect business and economic conditions in India and the business of the Company in particular. Adverse changes in other regulation such as the distribution norms may affect the operations of the Company. States may individually decide to impose prohibition on the sale of alcoholic beverages including IMFL, as has been done in the past. Management Perception This is a risk applicable to the entire industry. The Company will address the same as and when required, by falling in line with other industry players. However, any change in Government which would, directly or indirectly, adversely impact the liquor industry is highly unlikely as the state governments are heavily dependent on liquor for a large part of their revenues. 2. IMFL industry is witnessing high level of competition as the domestic players gear up to compete for a larger share of the market. The entry of multinationals in the domestic liquor business has led to increased competition. Growing competition may force the Company to reduce the prices of its products and services, which may reduce its revenues and margins and/or decrease its market share, either of which could have a materially adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operation. Management Perception In view of favourable market scenario, prospects of liquor industry are very promising. The Company, therefore, does not foresee any problem despite competition and entry of multinationals. The Company’s products command good acceptance both in the Country Liquor and IMFL sectors. The Company aims to sustain growth with dynamic business strategies and plans to broad base its product-mix by introduction of new products. The Company is now making conscious efforts to enhance the brand positioning and has allocated specific funds for the said purpose. 3. The IMFL industry has negative perception in the Indian cultural context. This leads to circumstances like ban on advertising of alcoholic beverages in the print/TV media, which is not conducive to business development. Management Perception This is a risk applicable to the entire industry and it has responded by methods like surrogate advertising. With the globalization and opening of the economy, the perception of the consumer is gradually changing. Nonetheless the industry is registering a positive growth year on year. 4. Evolving IMFL industry standards, changing consumer preferences and new product introductions have an important impact on the Company’s business. The Company’s success depends on its ability to keep pace with these changes. In addition, products developed by competing companies may make the Company’s products less competitive. Management Perception This is a risk applicable to the entire liquor industry. The Company constantly endeavours to keep pace with the latest developments in the industry and is gradually strengthening its position to enhance its market share by introducing new products, appointing new distributors, extensive geographical coverage etc. 5. IMFL business is seasonal in nature with the sales volume dipping during the period April to June each year because of summer. Management Perception This is a risk applicable to the entire industry. Lower sales volumes in the first quarter are compensated by higher sales volumes in remaining quarters/festive seasons. 6. Any change in the policies by the countries, in terms of tariff and non-tariff barriers, from which the Company imports or intends importing its raw materials and/or to which its products may be exported in future, will have an impact on the Company’s profitability. Similarly, any adverse movement in the exchange rate may have a corresponding effect on the export realization/cost of imports and consequently affect the Company’s profitability. Management Perception Whenever such policy changes affect the Company’s business, the company would work towards complying with or reckoning the policy changes and adopt appropriate strategies to sustain the effect on its business. xiv 7. Floods, earthquakes, terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war/destruction involving India and other countries could adversely affect the Country’s business and economy, and consequently reflect on the Company’s business. These acts may also result in a loss of business confidence, make travel and other services more difficult and ultimately affect the Company’s business, financial conditions and results of operations. Management Perception The consequences of any of the above are unpredictable and the Company may not be able to foresee events that could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. 8. Liquor – Government policy prohibition Management Perception It has been observed that prohibition on the part of Government is untenable looking at the contribution to the State exchequer from this industry. 9. Dependence on agri products Management Perception We have mitigated the above with the help of technology wherever possible like being able to process a variety of agri raw materials in the event of crop failures for one or two commodities. 10. The Company’s performance is highly dependent upon the growth of business and economy in the State and the country, whose progress and welfare generates the demand. An economic down turn may negatively impact the operating results of the Company. 11. Any change in the regulatory environment may have an impact on the business of the 12. Regional conflicts in South Asia could adversely affect the Indian economy, which in turn may disrupt the Company’s operations and cause its business to suffer. 13. Company’s performance is linked to the stability of policies and the political situation in India. 14. Since the Equity Shares of the Company are required to be traded compulsorily in demat form, shareholders who are allotted/who hold shares in Physical Form may not be able to trade in such Equity Shares unless they get their holdings dematerialized.

SUMMARY You should read the following summary together with the Risk factors beginning from page no. vii of this Draft Prospectus and the more detailed information about SVP Industries and its financial statements included in this Draft Prospectus. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW The Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) market has grown at around 8% per annum over the past decade. The IMFL market primarily comprises of Whisky, Rum, Brandy, Gin and Vodka. The country liquor market is basically a regional market and there exist a large number of small manufacturers spread across the State. Major IMFL manufacturers, however, have a countrywide presence. The branded IMFL market in India is estimated to be 112 million cases out of which the Whisky, being the largest selling IMFL, accounts for 55% of the market share, Rum 27%, Brandy 14%, Gin 3%, and Vodka 1%. The whisky segment is further classified into Scotch, Super Premium, Premium, Prestige/Deluxe, Regular, Medium and Cheap segment. (Source: Draft Model Excise Policy by Ministry of Food Processing Industries; from mofpi.nic.in/excisepolicy.pdf) Taxation being a major contributing factor to the increase in the price at the consumer level, the trend to go in for cheaper products in key whisky and rum segment has been on the increase of late. As per the Model Excise Policy compiled by the Ministry of Food Processing Industry, the growth rate in India for Spirits will be 12% per annum for the period 2003-2008 and for Country Liquor it will be 15% for the same period. Majority of the State Governments have realized, over a period of time, the futility of enforcing prohibitions in their respective states. Prohibition has bred crime and jeopardized the economies of various states. (Source: Draft Model Excise Policy by Ministry of Food Processing Industries; from mofpi.nic.in/excisepolicy.pdf) In the state of Uttar Pradesh, excise revenue collected was Rs. 2,473.16 crores in 2003-04, Rs.2556.77 crores in 2002-03, and Rs. 1963.89 crores in 2001-02, and is the one of the largest sources of revenue collection for the state. (Source: Excise Department Manual of 2005-06 of U.P. Government) While potable liquor, which includes Country Liquor and IMFL (Indian Made Foreign Liquor) is witnessing a growth of more than 10%; Industrial Alcohol sector is not lagging far behind. Industrial Alcohol is a source of raw material for various alcohol-based chemical industries and is used in manufacture of ethanol, acetaldehyde, polyethylene, PVC, ethyl acetate, mono ethylene glycol, acetic acid, various esters, paints, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides. There is a huge demand for these products in the market. As energy crunch looms large, fossil fuel stocks are falling. Oil prices have broken records. Many countries are switching to bio fuels. The European Union (EU) has decided to use 5.75% bio-fuels like ethanol in motorcars by 2010. China plans to use 10% bio-fuels by 2010. The US already produces about 10 million tonnes of ethanol. The US is adding 30% to its capacity while China is setting up the world’s biggest plant. India has started with a 5% ethanol blend with petrol, which can be increased to 10 & 20% progressively. Brazil is already successfully using 50% blend. Ethanol is anhydrous, the purest form of alcohol. India’s petrol consumption last year was eight million tonnes. It needs only four lakh tonnes of ethanol to get a 5% blend. The Company’s distillery can also produce lower grades of industrial or methyl alcohol (denatured spirit) at Rs. 6-10 per litre. Industrial alcohol blended with kerosene (50% or even higher) can provide energy required in rural India. It can fire cooking stoves, light up lamps, drive water pumps or auto rickshaws and run cold storage units working on the absorption cycle. It will also save womenfolk the hardship of walking long distances to collect firewood and in the process save trees. (Source: All India Distillers Association; Monthly Issue of November 2005; Volume V, Issue 11) The programme to supply ethanol-doped petrol is expected to move forward in the coming years with oil companies calling sugar mills for price negotiations. This is important for the sugar mills, as it will contribute to boosting the prices of alcohol. (Source: All India Distillers Association; Monthly Issue of November 2005; Volume V, Issue 11) For further details, see the section on ‘Industry Overview’ beginning from page no. 46 of the Draft Prospectus. 1 BUSINESS OVERVIEW SVP Industries Ltd is engaged in the business of manufacture, marketing and sale of Industrial Alcohol, Country Liquor, and Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) being the core businesses.

As molasses is a by-product of Sugar mill, it is produced during the sugar season i.e., November to May, when the price of the same is cheaper than the off-season and availability is also in abundance. Thus to take advantage of cheaper availability of molasses during season, the Company wants to increase the storage capacity so that molasses can be stored and used in offseason. The cost of each tank of 75,000 quintals will be around Rs. 50 lakhs, which will be fabricated in-house with approx 100 MT of steel. The Company is proposing to install two such tanks.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW Status of alcohol industry in India The alcohol industry is very important from the Government’s revenue perspective. It generates an estimated Rs. 16,000 crores per annum in spite of the fact that the per capita consumption of liquor in India ranks among the lowest in the world. Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) accounts for only a third of the total liquor consumption in India. Most IMFLs are cheap and are priced below Rs. 200 per bottle. Alcohol sales proceeds account for 45% of the total revenue collection in the country. Whisky accounts for 60% of the liquor sales; while rum, brandy and vodka account for 17%, 18% and 6% respectively. MNC's share is only 10% and they have been successful only in the premium and super premium range. (Source: A Tipsy Liquor Policy by. H.B. Soumya; from www.ccsindia.org/RP01-6.html) Being a state subject; within India itself, the policy on alcohol retail differs from state to state. While some states such as Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu have a liberal policy, other states such as Haryana and Andhra Pradesh have had very bitter experiences in trying to make these states dry and have eventually had to withdraw the policy. The distillery industry today consists broadly of two parts, one - potable liquor and two - industrial alcohol. The potable distillery producing IMFL and Country Liquor has a steady but limited demand with a growth rate of about 8 per cent per annum. The utilization of Ethyl alcohol or Ethanol, now popularly known as alcohol, for industrial use is a recent phenomenon and its importance came into being towards the end of the Second World War. With protection being granted to the sugar Industry in 1932, a large number of sugar factories were established in the country, particularly in the states of Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, where irrigation facilities existed for cultivation of sugarcane. This increase resulted in accumulation of molasses, which resultantly, caused unmanageable environmental problems. At that time the demand for molasses was almost insignificant and the sugar mills had to incur some expenditure on removal of this by-product i.e., molasses. For resolving these problems a joint committee of U.P. and Bihar was constituted to explore the possibilities of developing alcohol based industries for the purpose of utilization of molasses. The Committee in its report recommended the establishment of distilleries for production of alcohol, utilizing molasses as substitute. They also recommended that alcohol produced by the distilleries should be admixed with petrol, to supplement motor fuel. The production of alcohol did not only help in solving the problems of disposal of molasses but it also filled up the gap in the demand and supply of motor spirit. As a substantial quantity of alcohol after meeting its requirement for manufacture of gasohol alcohol was diverted for production of alcohol based chemicals in different parts of the country, the utilization of alcohol for this purpose progressed steadily and a substantial quantity of alcohol produced in the country is now being utilized for manufacture of solvents and intermediates. Till a few years back, a little more then 50 % alcohol produced in the country was being utilized for production of alcohol based chemicals, but after the decontrol of molasses in the year 1993, the utilization of alcohol for production of chemicals, dye-stuffs, synthetic rubbers, polymers and plastics etc. has received a setback. (Source: About Distillery Industry of India from www.aidaindia.org/aida/about_distillery.html) Liquor industry is unique in that there are certain key variable factors that influence its viability and growth such as Duty Structures, Excise Rules and regulations, product-pricing, marketing initiatives to promote the brand, distribution and several regulatory issues like licenses to manufacture, labeling etc. On issues of excise and duties, these are fast coming to World Trade Organization (WTO) levels. The industry does not have many entry barriers and with the opening up of the economy there are multiple ways of market entry; it could be Bottled in India (BII) or Bottled in Origin (BIO) or Bulk Import and locally bottled. While this will enable world-class quality brands to enter India, there is a fear that the stagnating markets overseas may trigger dumping of cheap liquor into the Indian market, which will not be a healthy trend for both the Indian consumer as well as the domestic liquor players. Manufacture of alcohol Alcohol is a member of a class of organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, considered as hydroxyl derivatives of hydrocarbons, produced by the replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms by one or more hydroxyl (-OH) GROUPS. (Source: About Distillery Industry of India from www.aidaindia.org/aida/about_distillery.html) 46 In this country the bulk of alcohol is being produced from sugar cane molasses. Molasses is a thick viscous bye-product of the sugar industry, which is acidic in nature, rich in salts; dark brown in colour and it also contains sugar, which could not be crystallized. For manufacturing alcohol, the Molasses is diluted with water into a solution containing 15-16% of sugar. This solution is then inoculated with yeast strain and is allowed to ferment at room temperature. The fermented wash is distilled in a series of distillation columns to obtain alcohol of adequate/ requisite strength and quality/ specification. This alcohol is used for various purposes including potable and industrial. For manufacture of alcoholic beverages, the alcohol is, if required, matured and blended with malt alcohol (for manufacture of whisky) and diluted to requisite strength to obtain the desired type of liquor/ Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL). This is bottled in bottles of various sizes for the convenience of consumers. India has over 295 distilleries, which are scattered throughout the country, which have an installed capacity for production of 3,198 million litres of alcohol. The requirement of alcohol in the country for all purposes however stands at about 1200 to 1300 million litres of alcohol in a year, which works out to about 40 percent licensed capacity. The bulk of capacity thus remain dormant which can be utilized for production of anhydrous alcohol for being used as oxygenate/ fuel. The utilization of ethanol as oxygenate is the prime need of the country. As the air pollution becoming a serious threat to the health of community, it is absolutely necessary to devise ways and means to curb pollution. The cheapest and best way is to utilize ethanol as oxygenates in admixture with Petrol/ Diesel. The implementation of this program has been delayed, rather inordinately, and it should therefore be implemented as promptly as possible. (Source: About Distillery Industry of India from www.aidaindia.org/aida/about_distillery.html) Industry Structure and Developments The IMFL market has grown at around 8% over the past decade. The IMFL market primarily comprises Whisky, Rum, Brandy, Gin and Vodka. The IMFL industry in India is estimated at nearly 100 million cases and is growing at 9 per cent per annum. Consumption is largely skewed towards whisky, which accounts for over 54 per cent of the market. Brandy accounts for 14 per cent, rum for 27 per cent and whites (Gin, Vodka and others) for 5 per cent. The Country Liquor market is basically a regional market and there exist a large number of small manufacturers spread across various States. Major IMFL manufacturers, however, have a countrywide presence. Whisky being the largest selling IMFL has about 54% of the market share. The whisky segment is further classified into Scotch, Super Premium, Premium, Prestige/Deluxe, Regular, Medium and Cheap segment. Taxation being a major contributing factor to the increase in the price at the consumer level, the trend to go in for cheaper products in key whisky and rum segment has been on the increase of late. The lower category whisky segment has grown at a compounded annual growth rate of about 28% during the last 3 years. The lower per capita consumption in India, the high volume in the unorganized cheap segment of the spirits business with its likely transition into the organized sector, the changing consumer perception of alcohol and the progressive regulatory changes are the key drivers to the growth of this industry. In the state of Uttar Pradesh, excise revenue collected was approximately Rs. 2,500 crores in 2003-04, and is the second largest source of revenue collection for the state. (Source: Excise Department Manual of 2005-06 of U.P. Government) While potable liquor, which includes Country Liquor and IMFL (Indian Made Foreign Liquor), is witnessing a growth of more than 10%; Industrial Alcohol sector is not lagging far behind. (Source: Draft Model Excise Policy by Ministry of Food Processing Industries; from mofpi.nic.in/excisepolicy.pdf) Industrial Alcohol is a source of raw material for various alcohol-based chemical industries and is used in manufacture of ethyl acetate, mono ethylene glycol, acetic acid, various esters and pesticides. It also finds extensive use in the pharmaceutical and paints industry. There is a huge demand for these products in the market. Government Policy Each State levies taxation and duties on alcohol at its own decided rates. Each State also levies excise duties and also regulates distribution channels of alcohol in its own way. Liquor happens to be a major contributor to the state’s exchequer. Some states, have, in the past, taken firm action in terms of banning the sale of alcohol within their state, but their decision had its own political fallout, and the ban had to be 47 withdrawn. The state of Andhra Pradesh, in 1995, enforced prohibition and it had to lift prohibition in mid 1997. Similarly, the state of Haryana also enforced prohibition in 1996, but had to withdraw its decision in April 1998. As per AIDA 2004 Report, Whisky is the basic IMFL spirit, and it continues to grow. Advertising of alcohol and alcohol-related products is officially banned and considered illegal. Major liquor manufacturers, however, circumvented such regulations and indulge in spending heavily on surrogate brands under the same brand names such as glasses, mineral water, music items, fashion articles etc. Satellite and cable television however, being uplinked from outside India, have allowed liquor advertising by Indian brands. As regards the distribution system, all outlets have to be licensed; Wholesalers, Retailers, Bars and Restaurants, and Bonded Warehouse operators. Potable Liquor Industry is experiencing growth of 12 per cent every year. Majority of the State Governments have realized, over a period of time, the futility of enforcing prohibitions in their respective states. Prohibition has bred crime and jeopardized the economies of various states. (Source: Model Draft Excise Policy – www.mofpi.nic.in) The Government of India has amended the control order regulating the supply and distribution of petrol to enable doping of 5 per cent ethanol in petrol. Five per cent ethanol doped petrol has been made mandatory in nine sugarcane-producing states and four Union Territories from January 1, 2003. The blended fuel called ‘Gasohol’ would be supplied through 11538 retailing outlets in 9 states and four union territories. This has thrown up immense opportunities for industrial alcohol. (Source: Government Notification vide no. P45018/28/2000-CC in the Gazette of India Extraordinary (Part I-Section I) issued by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas Resolution dated 3rd September, 2002) Risks and concerns/opportunities and threats In India, excise duty on alcohol is a State levy, not a Central levy and each State has its own control measures to determine the excise duty structure and also the distribution system of potable liquor. Moreover, inter-state sales of IMFL attract export duty in the state of manufacture and import duty in the state of sale. This results in high prices at the consumer level and acts as a big trade barrier. Therefore, for all practical purposes, a Company has to have a manufacturing set up of its own or a bottling tie-up in a State to sell in that particular State in order to maintain economic and commercial viability. State level levies prevent economies of scale, increase costs and inefficiencies, hamper growth and reduce government collections. Steps have been undertaken to introduce uniform excise duty across the States and revenue sharing agreement for all Inter-State sales. When these regulations are put in place, they will provide a stimulus for the growth of the liquor industry in India. The liquor industry is suffering from over-taxation and over-regulation, which has impeded the profitability even in the face of continuing growth in demand for liquor products. Recent regulatory changes have imposed a further burden in the industry by an amendment of Section 206 C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The Government of India has imposed a mandatory Income Tax of 1% to be collected at source on sales. This has had an impact of increasing the price of liquor products in the hands of the consumer. Further widening the scope of service tax and increase in the rate of service tax has had a direct impact by way of increased expenditure on the Company. Distribution of IMFL is also regulated in some states either through auctions or through government procurement agencies (as in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh etc.) These regulations create monopolistic environment, stifle entrepreneurship spirit and hamper growth. The present distribution system is affecting the revenue collections of the states, and the state governments are increasingly looking to liberalize the distribution system. Uttar Pradesh is a good case in point where the excise revenues witnessed a substantial jump once the distribution system was de-regulated in financial year 2001-02. Stagnating excise revenues (from liquor) are also forcing state governments to re-look at archaic systems. Recently, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan Governments had also de-regulated the IMFL distribution system to improve its revenue collections. The industry is also constrained to cope with a ban on advertising of products. Advertising, the most effective tool for building brands and communication about products has been denied to the liquor industry. Keeping with its commitment with WTO, The Government of India has been consistently reducing the import duty on foreign liquor and spirits, although some measures of protection have been granted by the imposition of countervailing duties. Lowering of duties has facilitated the entry of large liquor MNCs in India 48 and the domestic brands are beginning to loose substantial market share to India specific brands of MNCs. However, new avenues may open for the established domestic companies for entering into manufacturing/marketing tie-ups with the MNCs who want to have presence in India. Future Growth of the Industry a. Demand drivers for alcohol industry: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Population growth Rise in income levels leading to increased consumption. Growing consumer preferences for high quality of alcoholic beverages. Lowest per capita consumption. Fuel ethanol requirement in India and abroad. Demand for petrol expected to grow at CAGR of 11.8%. (Source: Economic Times Commodities Bureau, Mumbai issue dated September 19, 2005) 7. Net increase in population is 4%, besides this average age of initiation into drinking is coming down. Therefore a growth rate of 10-12% on this account is a fair possibility. 8. Similarly, the increase in purchasing power has led to more consumption of lifestyle products like alcoholic beverages etc. 9. 490 million litres of ethanol required at 5% blending with petrol would be required by 2005-06, which is likely to scale up to 750 million litres by 2009-10 on an All India basis. (Source: Economic Times Commodities Bureau, Mumbai issue dated September 19, 2005) 10. More than 2 billion litres of alcohol required by 2009-10 at 5% and more than 3 billion at 10% blending only in petrol. (Source: Economic Times Commodities Bureau, Mumbai issue dated September 19, 2005) b. Supply drivers 1. 2. Production of Sugarcane, sugar and molasses. Production of crops like rice, sorghum, bajra and maize. What does this mean? * Domestic demand is likely to surpass production from molasses. * Part of the demand can be made up by producing from Grain. * India likely to emerge as net importer of alcohol over long term * Upward impact on global & domestic alcohol prices is likely over the intermediate term. With rapid growth in the middle class segment, increasing consumerism, rising disposable income levels, rising standards of living, increase in number of discerning customers, and increase in the number of liquor brands and categories available to the consumer, there will invariably be an increased growth of all segments of liquor industry. The foreign players are likely to have market grip over the super premium and premium segments and the Indian manufacturers would see a reduced market share. The domestic majors will nevertheless upgrade the large Country Liquor market into IMFL. Local players have all along dominated the Country Liquor segment wherein there are no large players or multinationals coming in to this specific segment. Even amongst the various IMFL segments, Vodka, White Rum, and Brandy are expected to grow at aboveindustry growth rates albeit on a very low base. Market The industry, over the years, has changed from a seller’s market to that of a buyer’s market. With a variety of brands being available, major Brand build-ups, media hype and information flow have influenced the behavioural pattern of the consumers/buyers, who are more discerning and see value for money. India, as a nation, has undergone a sea change. At a time in the past when liquor was typically looked down upon, with changing lifestyles and urbanization of our towns and cities, it is no more taboo to be seen drinking. In fact, it has rightly or wrongly enhanced the status. Women and teenagers too have started indulging in social drinking. The consumer today has a number of choices in terms of liquor and brands. The liquor industry itself is highly segmented; depending on how much one can spend. There is a brand and price catering to each class of society. The market is highly competitive with many local and international players vying for a share in the market. There are primarily three types of market in the liquor industry. 49 i. Government Market: Here the state government is the wholesale distributor of liquor and they purchase directly from the company. ii. Auction Market: In an auction market, the state is split into many smaller geographical segments. The government auctions the right to distribute and retail liquor in those areas for a specific period, to private entities. This auction is based on the minimum guaranteed tariff payment to the government over the specified period. Wholesale operations and retail outlets are owned/operated only by those parties that win the auction for that particular area. The private entities that win the auction for a specific area subsequently negotiate with liquor manufacturers to acquire liquor at competitive prices. Typically, all auction winners enter into inter-se arrangements to procure liquor at most competitive prices, and retail the same at relatively higher prices to recover minimum guarantees committed by them to the government during the auction process. iii. Open Market: In an Open market, there is no government intervention in the pricing and distribution of liquor. The manufacturers sell liquor to the wholesaler/distributor who in turn sell it to the retail outlets. Market forces determine pricing. The government issues wholesale/retail licenses for a fee. Ethanol: As energy crunch looms large, fossil fuel stocks are falling. Oil prices have broken records. Many countries are switching to bio fuels. The European Union (EU) has decided to use 5.75% bio-fuels like ethanol in motorcars by 2010. China plans to use 10% bio-fuels by 2010. The US already produces about 10 million tonnes of ethanol. The US is adding 30% to its capacity while China is setting up the world’s biggest plant. India has started with a 5% ethanol blend with petrol, which can be increased to 10% & 20% progressively. Ethanol is anhydrous, the purest form of alcohol. India’s petrol consumption last year was eight million tonnes. It needs only four lakh tonnes of ethanol to get a 5% blend. The Company’s distillery can also produce lower grades of industrial or methyl alcohol (denatured spirit) at Rs. 6-10 per litre. Industrial alcohol blended with kerosene (50% or even higher) can provide energy required in rural India. It can fire cooking stoves, light up lamps, drive water pumps or auto rickshaws and run cold storage units working on the absorption cycle. It will also save womenfolk the hardship of walking long distances to collect firewood and in the process save trees. (Source: All India Distillers Association; Monthly Issue of November 2005; Volume V, Issue 11) Ethanol (Absolute Alcohol) is the talk of the time at present. As the international oil prices are firming up, countries such as Brazil etc. are utilizing Ethanol in a big way to blend it with petrol and use it for car fuel. Brazil, in fact, has now gone to the extent of blending 80% to 100% in petrol used as fuel for car. In India, the Government has announced blending permissible to the extent of 5% with petrol, and thus the oil companies have started to consume Ethanol in a major way. (Source: www.ethanolindia.net) The programme to supply ethanol-doped petrol is expected to move forward in the coming years with oil companies calling sugar mills for price negotiations. This is important for the sugar mills, as it will contribute to boosting the prices of alcohol.

These cars which are able to run on any mixture of hydrous and anhydrous alcohol as well as gasoline have proved to be enormously popular. Introduced in March, 2003, sales in the first 13 months (March/March) have risen to almost 95,000 units, which compares with 37,000 units for ethanol-only powered vehicles sold in the same period. Forecasts for the future development of sales are similarly optimistic. The Association of Car Manufacturers in Brazil – Anfavea – expects to see the market share of flex fuel vehicles rising to 23% by 2008. Meanwhile, all the country’s major car manufacturers have flex fuel engines in their ranges. As a result, the Association of Sugar Cane Growers in the state of Sao Paulo – Unica – anticipates total fuel alcohol consumption in Brazil rising to almost 17 billion litres by 2010 from the current 11.5 billion litres.

The Company has a brand portfolio of its own in the Country Liquor segment, and caters to well known Indian brands in the IMFL segment. Sir Shadilal Distillery & Chemical Works (SSLD & CW) is the sole unit of SVP Industries Ltd. The distillery was set up by the Company in the year 1960 and is one of the leading distilleries of the region. The manufacturing facility is situated in Mansurpur within District Muzaffarnagar in the western belt of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, considered the hub for availability of Molasses, as the plant is surrounded by all major Sugar Mills of the country. The plant is currently engaged in the manufacturing of Industrial Alcohol (comprising Rectified Spirit, Denatured Spirit and Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA); Country Liquor (CL); and Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL). At present the Licensed & Installed capacity of Industrial Alcohol is 1,35,00,000 Bulk Litres (BL) per annum along with potable (i.e. CL & IMFL) capacity of 86,40,000 Bulk Litres (BL) per annum. The distillery has already received additional license for increasing its capacity of Industrial Alcohol to 2,70,00,000 BL per annum and potable capacity to 1,35,00,000 BL per annum. The distillery has a modern bottling facility equipped with bottling machines, which caters to its own production of Country Liquor and IMFL brands. Apart from the above, the Company has tie-ups and separate arrangements for bottling IMFL products of India’s largest liquor company McDowell & Co. Ltd of United Breweries (UB) Group. UB Group also purchases large quantity of bulk spirit from SVP’s unit. In the Country Liquor segment, the Company is one of the leading suppliers and having 10% market share in the state of Uttar Pradesh. (Source: As Certified by U.P. Distillers’ Association) 51 The Company is now gearing up for a modernization and expansion of its production facilities in order to become one of the largest distilleries in the region, along with setting up latest facilities in utility management to enable it to lower the cost of production while continuing to produce high quality spirit. Notwithstanding its above plans, the Company also intends to enter the IMFL market by developing its own brands and/or acquiring existing brands and marketing it all over India. The Company also wants to put up an Ethanol plant at a capacity of 40,000 Litres per day in order to catch up with the demand. The brief project plan of the Company is as mentioned herein below: 1) Put up a multi-pressure distillation plant to produce best quality Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) of 50,000 Litres per day that can produce ENA both from Molasses and Grains as its raw material. As the Company is increasing its Industrial alcohol production capacity (license) from 1,35,00,000 BL per annum to 2,70,00,000 BL per annum, the above plant will facilitate in utilizing the licensed capacity to 100% level. At present, the Company is already producing on 100% Capacity utilization basis. Molasses, being a product of Sugar Mills, the price of Molasses and its availability have always been dependent on the fortunes of the Sugar industry and has consequently been volatile in recent times as it is linked to the ups and downs of the Sugar cycle. To negate and de-link the above effect, the Company is planning to put the new plant on grain route (which will utilize broken rice, ground wheat flour (atta), maize (bajra), jowar as its raw material to produce alcohol with the stand-by option to also use molasses as its raw material, in case of any emergency or shortfall in availability of grains. Apart from above, the Government of Uttar Pradesh state has now announced a policy that if a new project of Rs. 50 crores (capital outlay – which the Company is planning to do) is set up using grain route, then the Government will provide rebate of Excise revenue, additionally generated by the unit, up to the extent of Rs 25 crores over a 10 year span. The Company intends availing the above opportunity, so that the pay back becomes enormous. 2) To avail the above advantage, the Company is expanding its bottling plant by putting up new automatic bottling lines, so that it can produce additional own brands or tie-up brands of UB etc. 3) It is putting up a 40,000 Litres per day Molecular Sieve Ethanol Plant as already discussed earlier. 4) To meet the additional requirement of steam and power, and to replace existing high cost power and steam, the Company proposes to install high-pressure boiler and backpressure turbine. The boiler will primarily use biogas (which will be generated at no extra cost while treating the wastewater process at bio-methanation plant), and the balance fuel will be Pet coke, Rice Husk or Coal. 5) For strengthening its Pollution Control Equipment and meeting the norms of Central Pollution Control Board, the Company is putting up a new 60,000 Litre Thermophilic System bio-methanation plant. Apart from the above, a Reverse Osmosis Plant and Decanters along with Distillers Dried Grain Slops (DDGS) to convert waste to cattle feed are also proposed to be set-up. 6) Further to the above the storage capacity of both finished goods and raw materials are also being revamped. LOCATION OF THE PROJECT The plant is situated at Mansurpur in the district of Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh. This is a sugar belt where availability of basic raw material such as molasses is in plenty. The Company has a Distillery plant, and a Potable Liquor Plant. The plant site of the Company has the following location advantages: i. ii. iii. iv. The raw materials required for the plant is available locally, as it is in the heart of the state’s sugar belt. Water is available in abundance, which is primarily sourced through tube well. Cheap and skilled manpower is available in plenty. The plant is located adjacent to the main highway (National Highway 58) running across the District of Muzaffarnagar, and therefore, the Company has easy access and approach to move its produce, since road is the primary mode of transportation of Company’s products. 52 PLANT & MACHINERY, TECHNOLOGY ETC.

S & FPL:05:SSDCW:212 dated 25.11.2005 have estimated that the project LT Panels, Cables, and Motors will be installed at an estimated cost of Rs. 30 lakhs. The above cost includes new cabling, motors for pumping Spirits from tanks and panels etc. XX. MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPEMNTS For Miscellaneous equipments like Air conditioners, Office furniture etc., a provision of Rs. 16 lakhs has been considered. 78 MANUFACTURING PROCESS A. RECTIFIED SPIRIT Basic Raw material for manufacture of Rectified Spirit is Molasses. Molasses is a bye-product of Sugar industry. Molasses is available is abundance in the surrounding areas of the Company’s production facility. There are approximately 55 sugar mills in Western U.P. with huge crushing capacity and approximately 14 lakh hectare area is under the Sugarcane cultivation. Molasses of 40 – 50% total reducing sugar and 10 – 12% un-fermentable sugar is purchased from various sugar mills and brought to the Company’s facility through road tankers. Molasses is stored in huge tanks. It is then taken to the Fermentation House for fermentation in various fermentators. Fermentable sugar in molasses is converted into Ethyl Alcohol and Carbon dioxide with the help of microorganism called yeast in two distinct phases. Fermentation 1st Stage C12H22O11 Invertase Enzyme C6H12O+ + C6H12O6 In Yeast 2nd Stage C6H12O6 Zyenase Enzyme C2H5OH In yeast (Ethyl Alcohol) + CO2 Carbon Dioxide Distillation During the fermentation process, 8 to 9% alcohol is formed in distillation wash, which is taken for distillation in the distillation column to recover the alcohol. Fermentated wash is fed into the Analyzer column from the top and steam is supplied from the bottom. Alcohol vapour rises up in the analyzer and is fed into the Rectifier column. In the Rectifier column, fractional distillation takes place and alcohol vapour passes through beer heater, first condenser and then to vent condenser. Condensate from all the above three columns is again fed to rectifier top and drawn as Ethyl Alcohol or Rectified of 94.5% v/v (Volume by Volume). Rectified Spirit is then stored in receiver room in various tanks and then transferred to storage tanks/vats called warehouse as per state excise parlance. Rectified Spirit can then be sold to various other distilleries/bottling plants as raw material to the manufacturers of bottled liquor. Rectified Spirit is also used for manufacture of Country Liquor in the Company’s distillery after reducing its strength from 94.5% to 36.1% and by adding Demineralized (DM) Water, Essence, Caramel in the blending room. It is then taken to bottling vats in the bottling hall for manufacture of Country Liquor. 79 80 B. E.N.A. (EXTRA NEUTRAL ALCOHOL) Rectified Spirit contains impurities such as aldehydes, esters, higher alcohols that are not good for making quality potable alcohol for high grade liquor products like Whisky, Gin, Rum etc. Rectified Spirit is therefore re-distilled with DM (De-mineralized water) and passed through purification column, then rectifier column, condensers etc. All these equipments constitute Extra Neutral Alcohol plant. Higher alcohols and all other impurities get separated at various temperatures and pure ENA is collected separately and taken to storage vats. ENA can be sold to other distilleries and bottling plants for making quality alcoholic products like Whisky, Gin, Rum etc. In the Company’s distillery, ENA is used for bottling renowned brands of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) through the Company’s tie-up arrangement with reputed manufacturers. C. ETHANOL (GASOHOL) Ethanol, also known as ‘Fuel Alcohol’, is manufactured by passing Rectified Spirit of 94.5% v/v strength through benzene column. Benzene absorbs the water content present in the Rectified Spirit. The final product is of 99.5 to 99.90% v/v, which is called Gasohol or Fuel Alcohol. Ethanol could then be sold to various oil corporations like Indian Oil etc. for using as fuel in vehicles after mixing it with petrol. D. SPENT WASH 1st Stage (Primary Methanisation) It is the dark brown carboned liquid containing nitrogenous compound, potassium, magnesium, sulphates etc. obtained as waste product after obtaining Rectified Spirit. Its BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) is about 40,000 mg/ltr., and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) about 1,00,000 mg/ltr. It is the raw material for Effluent Treatment Plant where after methanisation process in huge reactors, we get Biogas, which is used as fuel in our boilers. 2nd Stage (Bio-composting) The waste product or heated spent wash from primary treatment plant is taken for Bio-composting to an open area of land where this product is sprinkled on sugar mill press mud for production of manure. Generated from Rectified Spirit: Molasses Dilution Yeast Fermentation Spent Wash Generated from ENA: Rectified Spirit Dilution Rectified Spirit Distillation Distillation Heads 81 ENA Generated from ETHANOL Rectified Spirit Dilution & Addition Fermentation Ethanol Benzene Benzene Proposed Molasses Dilution Fermentation Wash to ENA Distillation Heads E. ENA Spent Wash IMFL BLENDING/BOTTLING PROCESS: Here, ENA, DM water and required additives are mixed in the blending tank. After mixing is complete, strength and colour adjustment is done to and testing is done to see if the blend matches the original. Further alteration, if any required, is done and the blend is ready for bottling. It is shifted to filled tank to be filled in wash and cleaned bottles. Here, the bottles are sealed, labeled and monocartoned as may be the case. Quality control is done before the bottles are put into CC boxes. They are then moved to finished goods godown from where they are transported to different locations for final selling. 82 FLOW CHART OF FINISHING GOODS Rectified Spirit (Strength-94-95% v/v) Reduced with Demineralized Water Redistilled in Extra Neutral Alcohol Plant (Total Deooxidice Copper plant) Denatured with Denaturent ENA ( Extra Neutral Alcohol) -95 to 96% v/v Reduced with D.M.Water Blending with Color & Essences for C&L Denatured Spirit/Special Denatured Spirit (Not for Human Consumption) Blending with Color & Essence / Malt Spirit etc.(for IMFL) Bottling (Procedure) Empty Bottle Washing /Rinsing Filterisation (Liquor) Bottle Filling Sealing Labeling Packing (Finished Goods) Remarksemi-automatic complete bottling conveyors. 83 GRAIN BASED ALCOHOL PLANT PROPOSED GRAIN SPIRIT PLANT Grain unloading/ Storage Yard Milling (Basically gellitanisation means where starch molecule is split open with application of heat in order to ease the effect of the enzimes on the starch molecule) Cooking (The grain is course milled for the purpose of slurry preparation.

The grain is fed to hammer mill in a controlled manner. In milling, grains are crushed to flour of uniform size. Oversized screening rejects are segregated with the help of vibratory screen. These are taken to coarse bin before sending it to mill again. Intermediate hopper is provided for buffer capacity for flour storage. The flour addition is metered through a weigh feeder with load cell arrangement before transferring to the mixing tank for slurry preparation process. B) SLURRY PREPARATION / LIQUEFACTION: Grain flour is fed at controlled rate to mixing tank and then to an agitated slurry tank where some amount of water and enzyme stabilizing chemicals are added. A portion of the liquefying enzyme is also added here. This slurry is then “cooked” in the jet cooker. The slurry is continuously pumped to a steam jet cooker where high-pressure steam at 7 bar (g) / 170 °C rapidly raises the slurry temperature. The mixture of slurry and steam is then passed through the holding coil which has several “U” bends in series and sufficient capacity to provide the desired retention time at a given flow rate. The cooked mash is discharged to a flash tank. The cooking process, accomplished in the above manner, converts the slurry into a hydrated, sterilized suspension (as starch molecule is solubilized) and is therefore susceptible to enzyme attack for liquefaction. The gelatinized mash from the flash tank is liquefied in a liquefaction tank where liquefying enzyme (alpha-amylase) is added. Then the liquefied mash is cooled in slurry cooler to about 60 °C. and transferred to partial pre-Saccharification tank where the Saccharifying enzyme (Glucosidase) is added. This process initiates the formation of sugar. The mash is then cooled and transferred to fermentors. 85 C) SACCHARIFICATION AND FERMENTATION: Yeast Propagation: Yeast seed material is prepared in water-cooled vessels by inoculating sterilized mash with culture yeast. Optimum temperature is maintained by cooling water. The contents of the yeast vessel are then transferred to Prefermentor. The prefermentors are filled with mash and loaded with contents of the yeast vessel. The purpose of the aerated pre-fermentation is to allow time for the yeast cells to multiply and reduce the chances of contamination in fermentors. When the prefermentor contents are transferred to the main fermentors, the concentration of yeast cells is high enough to substantially reduce the lag time associated with yeast growth in fermentation. GRAIN BASED FERMENTATION: The purpose of fermentation is to convert the fermentable substrate into alcohol. To prepare the mash for fermentation, it may have to be diluted with water. The pH of the mash is adjusted by recycled slops (which also provides for nutrients) and by the addition of acid. At the start of the cycle, the fermentor is charged with mash and contents of the pre- fermentor. Significant heat release takes place during fermentation. This is removed by forced circulation cooling in external heat exchangers to maintain an optimum temperature of 30°C. The re-circulating pumps also serve to empty the fermentors into beer well. After the fermentors are emptied, they are cleaned with water and caustic solutions and sterilized for the next batch. The carbon dioxide evolved during the process is scrubbed to prevent ethanol emissions by process water, which is taken to beer well. MOLASSES BASED FERMENTATION: Molasses is a by-product of a sugar factory and is generally stored in Steel tanks. The molasses is then pumped to the Molasses weighing system located in the plant premises. The Weighing system is generally load cell based system with a counter for measurement of quantity of Molasses being processed in a given period of time. After weighing the Molasses, it is then pumped to the Molasses dilutor located alongside the Fermentor. After Fermentation fermented Wash shall be fed to the Beer Well and from there it shall fed to the Distillation section for distillation. 86 INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES A. RAW MATERIAL MOLASSES Molasses, which is the bye-product of sugar industries, is the major raw material for manufacture of alcohol. The Company is situated in a sugar belt where availability of molasses is plenty. The requirement of raw materials for the Company was/is as follows: Molasses usage & requirement Year 2004-05 Year 2005-06 Year 2006-07 5.88 lakh quintals 5.89 lakh quintals 9.97 lakh quintals The Production and consumption figures of Molasses (the primary raw material) in the state of Uttar Pradesh is as under: Production (In Lakh Quintals) 2003-2004 2004-2005 Consumption (In Lakh Quintals) 224.81 241.71 212.19 211.80 (Source: Excise Department Manual of 2005-06 of U.P.

(Source: Excise Department Manual of 2005-06 of U.P. Government) The Molasses are procured directly from the neighbouring Sugar mills, and also through dealers at competitive prices. The Molasses’ market is expected to remain, more or less, stagnant during the year, with full availability of the same. No shortage in supply is envisaged. The Company expects the prices to be at its lowest during the months of March and April, 2006, because the stocks of molasses is usually high in the above months (when the Sugar mills are high in capacity of molasses and are in the process of disposing off the same on account of lack of storage capacity). 87 During the year 2005-2006, the Company expects the production level of Molasses to be around 305 lakh quintals, as against the current year production of 241 lakh quintals. The prices are expected to remain at a lower level in financial year 2006-07 as compared to the current year, with expected low during the months of March, April, May and September, 2006. Sl.

The other two DG Sets are kept as stand-by. The Company does not have any connection from the UP State Electricity Board. The Company has, however, applied for fresh connection of 250 KVA vide its application dated 12.11.2005 as standby, which is under consideration. D. STEAM GENERATION At present, Steam, an essential component in the production process, is required for the production of Industrial Alcohol (comprising Rectified Spirit and Extra-Neutral Alcohol), and also during the process of Fermentation. The total steam required currently is as under: Particulars of requirement Quantity M.T./Day* _______ _______________________________________________ Present Requirement: Rectified Spirit & ENA Plant Fermentation House 3% Boiler & Turbine Losses 4% 165.0 4.9 6.6 ____________ 176.5 ____________ Sub-total Additional Requirement: Rectified Spirit Plant/ENA - Steam for Cooling & Liquefaction : 1.2 Kg/Litre of Spirit - Steam for Multipressure Distillation : 3.0 Kg/Litre of Spirit - Steam for Evaporator: 3.40 M.T./hour Ethanol 235.0 81.6 24.0 ___________ 340.6 ___________ Sub-total TOTAL 517.1___ * On a three-shift basis At present, the Distillery has two Boilers: One Boiler of 6 M.T./Hr capacity of Thermax make 11 Kg./Cm2 The Second Boiler of 10 M.T/Hr capacity of Thermax make 24 Kg./Cm2 91 The Boiler runs on Biogas and Pet Coke/Rice Husk. Biogas, incidentally, is generated during the course of primary treatment of Spent Wash in Bio-methanated reactor plant. Pet Coke and/or Rice Husk are procured from stockists and suppliers at competitive prices. The Company has never faced any problem in procuring Pet Coke and/or Rice Husk. The Company is putting up a high-pressure boiler of 30 M.T./hour capacity i.e., 720 M.T./day in the proposed project, which will more take care of the total requirement of 517 M.T./day. E. EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT - DISTILLERY The Spent Wash generated from distillation is highly polluted in nature, as it is acidic in content. It adversely affects the flora & fauna of the region. In view of the above, for effective control of pollution, Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) is required: The treatment plant comprises as under: (a) Primary treatment plant: The spent wash is treated in closed tank with the help of Methane forming bacteria. The organic matter is degraded by Methane forming bacteria in to Biogas, which is highly inflammable as it contains 60-65 % CH4 content, used as fuel in the Boiler. (b) Secondary treatment plant: To bring the above effluent to desired norms of pollution control Board, further treatment plant is required i.e. Secondary treatment plant based on Activated Sludge process and followed by extended aeration. The effluent from primary treatment plant is fed in to this plant. This plant comprises following different units: Aeration Tanks. Clarifier. Extended Aeration tank Clarifier Sludge drying beds The secondary treatment is based on Aeration. The Aerators are provided to the tank with the result that the Aerobic bacteria degrade the organic matter. c) Bio composting: As per the requirement of the Ministry of Environment and Forest, to avail zero pollution, the only process available at present is Bio Composting. The effluent after Primary treatment plant is taken in Bio composting. The conversion of effluent into solid waste is done with the help of solid residue of Sugar mill waste known as pressmud. The pressmud has all available nutrients for plant growth, and the Bio methanated wastewater, which also contains organic matter, is left and degraded is sprayed over Pressmud. The Biocompost process completes in 45 / 60 Days time. The Pollution load, as of on date, is as under: Water: Before Treatment: S.S. : B.O.D. : C.O.D. : After Primary S.S. B.O.D. C.O.D. 4,000 Kg./Day 45,000 Kg./Day 1,25,000 Kg./Day Treatments: : 1,800 Kg./Day : 6,000 Kg./Day : 35,000 Kg./Day After the installation of the Bio-Composting Treatment plant, the resultant pollution load shall be Zero, due to non-discharge. 92 F. PRODUCTS At present, the Company manufactures the following products: Rectified Spirit 45 KLPD ENA 20 KLPD Country Liquor : 1,35,00,000 Bulk Litres per annum : 60,00,000 Bulk Litres per annum : 18,00,000 Cases per annum Contract Bottling (Third Party Vendor) for McDowell & Co. Ltd., Triumph Distillers & Vintners (UB Group) : 8,00,000 Cases per annum The Company proposes to install an energy efficient 50 KLPD distillation plant to manufacture ENA directly from wash. The plant would be so designed that the Company can produce Rectified Spirit for further use in Ethanol Plant if the Company desires not to produce ENA. To efficiently use all the Bio-gas that the Company would be producing, it is proposed to install a 30 M.T. per Hour high efficiency, high pressure boiler and a TG set to co-generate power, so that the Company is selfsufficient in power. A Bio-methanation Reactor (Thermophillic) is proposed to be installed to do primary treatment of Spent Wash. For the secondary treatment, a 800 M3/day Reverse Osmosis (RO) treatment plant is to be put up followed by a bio-composting plant for the rejects from the RO plant. G.

The focus of marketing now has been to build brands and/or acquire existing ones, which would ensure a high growth in volume, a steady increase in market share as well as be strong enough to take on competition, both international and local. SUBSEQUENT TO PROPOSED EXPANSION Potable Liquor consumption is increasing @10 per cent per annum, which means that the Company’s captive consumption for Rectified Spirit for use in Country Liquor will go up every year. Likewise, ENA consumption for potable use will go up, because volume of contract bottling operations will increase. McDowell & Co. Ltd., and Triumph Distillers’ & Vintners Pvt. Ltd., both UB Group Companies, command more than 50 per cent market share on an All India basis in potable Liquor segment. At present, the Company is producing UB Group’s requirement for Uttar Pradesh market only. On enhancement of capacity, more markets will be serviced from the Company’s distillery, for which negotiations are on. i. Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) - Molasses/Grain based The Company proposes to manufacture ENA both from Molasses as well as Grains, depending on the market demand. Indian IMFL Industry has undergone a sea change ever since the world markets opened up. World famous Scotch whisky brands are now manufactured across the Country. Seagram, liquor Company of international repute, manufactures all its brands from grain based ENA. New IMFL brands are now being launched using grain-based ENA as raw material. The Company is in the process of negotiating with all such buyers who need grain-based ENA as raw material for their well-known brands. The Company proposes to build its IMFL brands and the same shall also be grain based. It is felt that over a period of time Country Liquor will be manufactured using ENA as raw material. Demand of ENA is therefore likely to go up. Existing Capacity - 20,000 LPD Capacity after expansion - 70,000 LPD 96 The Company dispatches around 5,50,000 Litres of Rectified Spirit to ENA Plant for making ENA. The actual production of ENA, after providing for wastages and collection of higher alcohols called ‘Heads’, is approximately 5,25,000 Litres. ENA is utilized in the following manner: a. ENA for IMFL tie-up units (appx. 3,00,000 Litres per month) The Company has tie-up arrangement with reputed companies such as McDowell & Co. Ltd., M/s Triumph Distillers & Vintners Pvt. Ltd. for bottling their IMFL brands. The Company bottles reputed brands like Bagpiper Whisky, Green Label Whisky, Carew’s Dry Gin, Mens’ Club Whisky etc. for the above units. The Company bottles approximately 70,000 cases of IMFL per month for these units, which takes care of appx. 3,00,000 Litres of ENA. b. Sale of ENA in bulk (appx. 2,25,000 Litre per month) The Company produces good quality ENA. Our ENA is purchased by Companies such as Shaw Wallace & Co. Ltd., Mohan Meakins Ltd. etc. for bottling their brands. ENA also finds use in various other industries like perfumery; medicinal preparations, after-shave lotions etc. ii. Ethanol The Government of India has amended the control order regulating the supply and distribution of petrol to enable doping of 5% ethanol in petrol. Five percent ethanol doped petrol had been made mandatory in nine sugarcane-producing states (including Uttar Pradesh) and four union territories w.e.f 1st January, 2003. The branded fuel called Gasohol would be supplied through 11,538 retailing outlets in a state and four union territories. Ethanol will command huge demand in the years to come. There is a huge gap in supply and demand. With more and more states opting for ethanol-doped petrol, there are immense opportunities for this product. Accordingly, the Company has decided to install an absolute alcohol plant. Out of the enhanced capacity, we propose to utilize 40,000 LPD for making absolute alcohol/power alcohol for which we have already been granted permission by Department of Excise, Government of Uttar Pradesh. iii. Rectified Spirit Existing capacity - 45,000 LPD At present, the Company is producing 45,000 Litres of Rectified Spirit per day. Monthly production of Rectified Spirit is approximately 12 lakh Litres. Out of the above quantity, about 5,50,000 LPM is dispatched to ENA Plant for making ENA (approximately 20,000 LPD) and the balance 6,50,000 Litres is utilized as under: a. Country Liquor (4,50,000 Litre per month) The Company has a market share of approximately 10 per cent in the state of Uttar Pradesh, which translates to about 1,75,000 cases of Country Liquor per month. Each case contains approximately 2.40 lakh litres of Rectified Spirit. The total Rectified Spirit consumed in production of Country Liquor per month is 4,50,000 litres. b. Sale of Rectified Spirit in bulk (2,00,000 Litre per month) The Company’s Rectified Spirit is purchased by reputed buyers such as Shaw Wallace & Co. Ltd., McDowell & Co. Ltd. for conversion of the same into ENA in their own Plant. A number of potable users like Bottling plants and Industrial users buy the Company’s Rectified Spirit within and outside the state of Uttar Pradesh. There is plenty of demand in the market and hence the need for expansion. Rectified Spirit is also used as a raw material for chemical industries, varnishes, paints etc. after adding denaturants. iv. Country Liquor The Company is at present operating only 10 CL-2A depots in the state of Uttar Pradesh (one in each district) and achieving market share of 10 per cent. It is proposed to increase the number of depots in the coming years and increase market share by extensive and intensive marketing. The Company’s brands have been well received in the market and there is potential for growth. 97 v. IMFL a. Tie-up business: IMFL tie-up business will grow substantially because the UB Group has become a major player in the IMFL market with more than 70% market share in the Indian market. This group has a bottling tie-up with the Company. The volume of tie-up business is likely to go up after grain-based ENA is made available to these companies for manufacturing their well-known brands at the Company’s facilities. b. Own brands / Acquisition of brands The Company is planning to launch own IMFL brands that will be grain based. Initially, the Company proposes to launch one brand each of Whisky, Rum, Gin & Vodka all in the regular segment. The Company’s competing brands in various segments are as under: Whisky: Aristocrat Whisky, Bagpiper Prestige Whisky and 8 PM whisky Rum : McDowell Celebration Rum Contessa xxx Rum Old Monk xxx Rum 8 PM Bermuda Rum Gin : McDowell Blue Riband Dry Gin Aristocrat Extra Dry Gin Vodka : Romanov Vodka Alcazar Vodka It is also proposed to launch one brand each of Whisky, Rum & Gin in the cheaper segment for the purpose of generating volume sales.

HISTORY AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE OF THE ISSUER COMPANY: Incorporation and Initial Progress: The Company was originally incorporated as Uttar Pradesh Pulp & Paper Mills Ltd. on October 24th, 1961 with the Registrar of Companies, Uttar Pradesh at Kanpur, and subsequently the name of the Company was changed to Swarup Vegetable Products Industries Ltd on September 30th, 1970. The name of the Company was further changed to SVP Industries Ltd w.e.f June 30th, 2004. Major events in the history of the Company are as follows: YEAR 1961 1964 1970 1971 MAJOR EVENT The Company was formed as Uttar Pradesh Pulp & Paper Mills Ltd. to set up a paper mill in collaboration with Parswhits. Cost of the project was revised to Rs. 828.34 lakhs. Facing three principal problems namely a) increasing project costs, b) decreasing profitability, and c) raising of Rs. 50 lakhs in equity capital by the Indian promoters under the then prevalent investment climate, the implementation of the project in view of the above facts became difficult. The project, on account of the above reasons, was abandoned. The Company took on long-term lease the Distillery unit known by the name of as Sir Shadi Lal Distillery & Chemical Works. The Company took on long-term lease a confectionery unit by the name of Shalcon’s Confectionery Works w.e.f. 1st July, 1970. The unit was shut down after short working. Sir Shadi Lal Sugar & General Mills Ltd was merged with the Company with effect from 1st October, 1971. All the employees of the merged company were fully absorbed and given employment in the amalgamating company as per the Hon’ble High Court Order of Allahabad. The Sugar mills started crushing on 07-11-1971 in this company. Vegetable Ghee Plant set-up. Trial run began. Two new units viz., Parivar Soap Works and Swarup Oxygen Bottling Plant were set-up to manufacture Laundry Soap and Industrial Oxygen Gas, utilizing the waste oils and oxygen gas being the by-products of Vegetable Ghee Plant. 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1984 1987 1990 1991 1992 Production in the Confectionery unit was started in May, 1971 Tin plant was installed to meet the requirement of Vanaspati Ghee plant. Vanaspati factory was compelled to be closed in July, 1973 due to the uneconomical working of the factory on account of difficulties in procuring both indigenous and imported oils, pressure on the margins due to rising prices of edible oils, and power cut/failure. The Company entered into a contract for supply of Country Liquor to Delhi Administration. Vanaspati unit, which was lying closed resumed production in February 1975 Vanaspati unit was closed again on account of continuous steep fall in the prices of oils and consequently in the prices of Vegetable Ghee. Manufacture of Dry gin, Whisky and other varieties of Indian Made Foreign Liquors for supply in the Civil Market started. The Company entered into partnership with M/s Arjan Dass Goyel, Nathoo Ram Goyel, Sadhu Ram Goyel, Madho Lal Goyel, Mangal Sain Goyel, Mohan Lal Goyel, Sohan Lal Goyel and Vimal Kumar Goyel of Ludhiana to run the Vegetable Ghee Factory under the name and style of ‘Mansurpur Vanaspati Udyog’. Before the start of production, the partnership was dissolved. The Confectionery unit started manufacturing Icing Sugar. Confectionery unit finally closed down on 21st July, 1979, due to continuous losses. The plant and machinery of the confectionery unit was appropriately disposed off. Renovation and rehabilitation work of the sugar Mill was undertaken.

New Industrial undertaking set up to manufacture Edible Refined Oil having an installed capacity of 15000 MT per annum. Production commenced on 30-03-1990. The product was sold under the trade name “SHIVALIK”. Job work secured for refining the oil for National Dairy Development Board, which were making the Mustard Refined Oil under the famous trade name of “DHARA”. In December, 1992, the Vanaspati Factory was ultimately closed. The Sugar Mill given under License to The Dhampur Sugar Mills Ltd., for a period of five years expired on 30-06-1992. Since there were disputes between the Company and the Licensee, the matter was referred for arbitration in terms of License Deed Dated 03-09-1987 to Shri Man Mohan Mittal, 105 Advocate, who gave the following award on 28-06-1992. The main terms of the award were: i. That a new Company under the name and style of Mansurpur Sugar Mills Limited will be incorporated. The new company was since incorporated. ii. That the new Company would take over all assets of Sir Shadi Lal Sugar & General Mills, (owned by the Company) which were given under Licence to The Dhampur Sugar Mills Ltd., as per the Licence Deed dated 03-09-1987, at a consideration of Rs. 150 Lakhs by way of allotment of 7,50,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each fully paid and the balance of Rs. 75 Lakhs in Cash. iii.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES IN THE LAST THREE YEARS Please refer to Annexure III of the Auditor’s Report dated 2nd February, 2006 on page no. 131 of this Draft Prospectus. 171 iii. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AS REFLECTED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with our audited financial statements for each of the Financial Years 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, and 2001, and for 9 months ended 31.12.2005 including the notes thereto and the reports thereon, which appear from page no. 127 onwards in this Draft Prospectus. Overview of the business of the Company: Sir Shadi Lal Distillery & Chemical Works (SSLD & CW) is the sole unit of SVP Industries Ltd. The distillery was set up in the year 1960 and is one of the leading distilleries of the region. It is situated in Mansurpur, Dist. Muzaffarnagar of Western U.P., which is the hub of Molasses availability as all major Sugar Mills surround it. The unit is engaged in the manufacturing of Rectified Spirit, Extra Neutral Alcohol, Indian Made Foreign Liquor and Country Liquor. At present, the Licensed & installed capacity of Industrial Alcohol is 1,35,00,000 BL per annum along with potable (i.e. IMFL & Country Liquor) capacity of 86,40,000 BL per annum. The distillery has applied for and received additional license for increasing its capacity of Industrial Alcohol to 2,70,00,000 BL per annum and potable capacity to 1,35,00,000 BL per annum. The distillery has a modern bottling unit equipped with bottling machines, which caters to its own production of Country Liquor and IMFL brands. Apart from the above, The Company has tie-ups and separate arrangements for bottling IMFL products of McDowell & Co. Ltd. (UB Group, India’s’ largest distillers) and are manufacturing their brands under tie-up arrangement with them. UB Group also takes large quantity of bulk spirit from the Company’s unit. In the Country Liquor segment, the Company is one of the leading suppliers in the state of Uttar Pradesh. At present, the installed capacity is 135 Lakhs BL and the production for 2004-2005 is 134.84 Lakhs BL i.e., capacity utilization is 99.88%. The Company is now planning for a modernization and expansion of its production facilities to become one of the largest distilleries in the region along with putting up latest facilities in utility management so that cost of production can be lowered while producing high quality spirit. Apart from it, the Company proposes to enter the IMFL market by acquiring brands or developing its own brands and marketing it all over India. Ethanol (Absolute alcohol) is the talk of the time at present. As the international oil prices are firming up, countries like Brazil etc. are utilizing Ethanol in a big way to blend the same with petrol and use it for car fuel. Brazil has now gone to the extent of blending up to over 80% in petrol used for automobiles. In India, the Government has announced blending 5% of Ethanol with petrol and thus the Oil Companies have started to consume Ethanol in big way. The Company also wants to put up an Ethanol plant for a capacity of 40000 Litres per day in order to meet such rising demand. The brief project plan of the Company is as below: 1) Put up a multi pressure distillation plant to produce best quality Extra Neutral Alcohol of 50,000 Litres per day, which can produce ENA both from Molasses and grain as its raw material. As the Company is increasing its Industrial alcohol production capacity (license) from 1,35,00,000 BL per annum to 2,70,00,000 BL per annum, the above plant will help to utilize the license capacity at 100% levels. At present, the Company is already producing at 100% Capacity utilisation. Molasses being a bye-product of Sugar Mills, the prices of Molasses and its availability became much volatile in recent times and the Company is dependant on the ups and downs of the Sugar industry cycle. To negate the above effect, the Company is planning to put up a new plant on grain route (which will utilize broken rice, atta, bajra, jowar) as its raw material to produce alcohol with the option that, if 172 required, the plant can also use molasses as its raw material, so that raw material mixture can be optimum. Apart from above, the Government of U.P. has now announced a policy that if a new project of Rs. 50 crores (capital outlay–which the Company is planning to put up) is set up using the grain route, then the Government will give rebate of Excise revenue additionally generated by the unit up to the extent of Rs. 25 crores over a period of 10 years. The Company wants to avail the above opportunity, so that the pay back becomes more attractive. 2) To take the above advantage, the Company is expanding its bottling plant by putting up new automatic bottling lines, so that it can produce additional Own brands or tie-up for bottling brands of UB Group etc. 3) It is putting up a 40,000 Litres per day Molecular Sieve Ethanol Plant as already discussed above. 4) To meet the additional requirement of steam & power and to replace existing high cost power & steam, the Company is installing high-pressure boiler and back pressure Turbine. The boiler will use biogas, which will come out free of cost while treating the wastewater of process at bio-methanation plant and balance fuel will be Pet coke, Rice Husk or Coal. 5) For strengthening its Pollution Control Equipments and meeting the norms of Central Pollution Control Board, the Company is putting up new 60,000 Litre Thermophilic System bio-methanation plant. Apart from above, it is also putting up Reverse Osmosis Plant and Decanters along with DDGS to convert waste to cattle feeder. 6) Further to the above, the storage capacity of both finished goods and raw materials are also being revamped. Significant Development after December 31, 2005 that may affect the result of operations of the Company To our knowledge, no circumstances have arisen since the date of the last financial statements as disclosed in this Draft Prospectus which materially and/or adversely affect or are likely to affect, the manufacturing, trading or profitability of the Company or the value of its assets or its ability to pay material liabilities within the next twelve months. Factors that may affect Results of the Operations * The major cause for qualification under this category could be drastic change / principal shift in the policy of the Central / State governments imposing complete Prohibition in the State. * As this industry is essentially dependent on agri-product input as raw material, all trends / uncertainties related to agricultural production have an impact on all of the above. This, at best, can only be forecast using the traditional tools available largely with the Government sector. * Besides, changes in Government policy regarding opening up of the market economy can have significant, though short term, impact on sales, revenue and income. * Any slowdown in the economic growth and business conditions in India. The following discussion on the financial operations and performance should be read in conjunction with the audited financial results of the Company for the years ended March 31 2003, March 31, 2004, and March 31, 2005 and 9 month ended 31st December 2005: A summary of past financial results based on the restated statement of accounts is as under: Rs. in Lakhs Particulars Net Sales Other Income 31.3.2003 31.3. 2004 31.3.2005 31.12.2005 (9 Months) 8,750.98 6757.28 7552.35 7851.21 48.35 100.89 73.25 82.42 192.76 (44.92) 387.39 Increase (Decrease) in i i 173 inventories (133.22) Total Income 8666.11 7,050.93 7,580.68 8321.02 - - - 1711.82 Raw Material Consumed 3,103.76 1,281.43 2,726.83 1825.68 Manufacturing Expenses 4,139.85 3,981.41 3,176.07 2921.35 Administrative & Selling Exps. 835.22 1,065.62 929.45 925.62 Staff Costs 252.44 216.43 230.32 171.89 8,331.27 6,544.89 7,062.67 7556.36 PBIDTA 334.84 506.04 518.01 764.66 Interest & Finance Charge 179.31 229.01 205.30 98.92 76.81 - 78.29 96.67 74.99 - - 4.21 78.72 198.74 216.04 586.54 10.14 63.97 70.55 184.85 68.58 134.76 145.49 401.70 Expenditure Purchase Total Expenditure Depreciation Fringe Benefit Tax Profit before Tax (PBT) Provision for Taxation Profit after Tax (PAT) Rs.

OF SEBI DIP GUIDELINES 1. Unusual or infrequent events or transactions: The various events / transactions that could fall in this category are strike / lockout due to issues related to Industrial Relations and/or Political intervention, Political unrest leading to bandhs/chakka jam etc., major natural calamity like earthquakes, floods etc., accidents like fire/major equipment like boiler/turbine breakdown. There have been no events, which may be called “unusual” or “infrequent”. 2. 3. 4. Significant economic changes that materially affected or are likely to affect income from continuing operations: * The only major cause for qualification under this category could be drastic change / principal shift in the policy of the Central / State governments imposing complete Prohibition in the State. * It is however observed that this action on part of any government is untenable looking at the contribution to the revenues from this industry. In fact, States like UP which financially are already on the brink of a melt down cannot even consider taking away this major source of revenue for them. Known trends or uncertainties that has had or is expected to have a material impact on sales, revenue or income from continuing operations: * As this industry is essentially dependent on agri-product input as raw material, all trends / uncertainties related to agricultural production have an impact on all of the above. This, at best, can only be forecasted using the traditional tools available largely with the Government sector. * Besides, changes in government policy regarding opening up of the market economy can have significant, though short term, impact on sales, revenue and income. * The Company, with the help of technology, has mitigated the above wherever possible, like being able to process a variety of agri raw materials in the event of crop failures for one or two commodities. * Similarly, constant interaction with the government representatives and their overt dependence on the revenues from this Industry in the State is the only mitigating factor for uncertainties related to policy. Future Changes in relationship between costs and revenues, in case of events such as future increase in labour or material costs or prices that will cause a material change are known: * The structure of the business is such that any such change, as it happens, has a proportionate relationship to the price of the end product. This leads to a fair amount of consistency in earning ratios. In fact, the main reason for this is the non-alternative nature of this product i.e. there is no replacement for potable alcohol as an intoxicant or a life style consumer product. Similarly, for consumers like fuel companies and chemical manufacturers, alcohol does not have any viable alternative currently. Science and technology inventions do provide a scope but the same also holds true for current technological advancements and Research & Development efforts on towards mitigating such risks. Therefore though the future relationships are unknown in the present, they do not seem to be a major risk factor. 5. The extent to which material increases in net sales or revenue are due to increased sales volume, introduction of new products or services or increased sales prices: * Yes, the major contributor to increases in net sales or revenue are sales volumes due to basic increase in consumption patterns socially, increase in per capita consumptions year upon year and increased sales prices primarily due to increases in the duties payable to the government as well as increase in cost of input. However, another contributor to increased net sales or revenue is the constant effort on cost reduction with the help of technological input in the system and economies of scale, which become better year upon year. 177 6. Total Turnover for the Industry Please refer to the discussions in the section titled “Industry Overview” at page no. 1 and the detailed version beginning from page no. 46 of this Draft Prospectus. 7. The extent to which the business is seasonal, any significant dependence on a single or few suppliers or customers: Though the agri raw materials being used by the industry are seasonal in nature. The production, consumption and storage norms that be evolved over a period of time are such that this is not a risk. Further, there is virtually no dependence on any particular supplier or group of suppliers or customers. 8. Competitive conditions: The competitive conditions are like that of any FMCG product. However, in this industry, securing the use of basic raw material like molasses is an issue, which for stand-alone distilleries requires special efforts. This has been mitigated by ensuring large storage capacities and the ability to process multiple raw materials like grains etc. in the event of a storage / high price of molasses. 9. Competitive position of the company within Indian market and overseas with reference to market share, major competitors and new capacity coming up: There is no impact on the position of the company as far as overseas products and companies are concerned due to the completely different market segment that is being addressed by us. However, domestically our competitive position can be impacted with new capacities and competitor activities. This is mitigated by the fact the pace of capacity addition is similar to that of overall growth of the market. Further, constant improvement efforts in terms of quality and costs of production, our own competing market strategies and our current product / brand franchise in the segments we are present in acts as a mitigant. 178 SECTION VI LEGAL AND OTHER INFORMATION i.
