• The penetration level of micro irrigated area is growing rapidly with various Government efforts. The segment is growing at a CAGR of 40% for last few years. This will improve the revenue mix of JISL. MIS contributed 42% to the total revenues in FY09, which we expect to reach 45% in FY11.

• We recommend ‘BUY in this particular scrip with a target price of Rs.268.00 for Medium to Long term investment.

Industry Overview Micro and sprinkler irrigation The industry is broadly divided into the organized and unorganized segments in the country. The Company is the largest player in the organized sector. In view of the involvement of a large number of components in a system, all of which are not available with a single manufacturer, it is difficult to hazard a guess about the exact size of the industry as most of the figures are derived on the basis of information available from different sources. While the Company controls 55% of the Micro

15

Irrigation business in the country, it has a market share of 35% in the Sprinkler irrigation business in the country. The current estimate of industry size is Rs. 17 bn. and it is growing rapidly. Currently about 3.0 to 3.5 million ha of possible 70 million ha area is covered under the micro and sprinkler irrigation in the country. However, as per Government task force 17million Ha of land can be easily brought under micro irrigation coverage in the country in the near future, say in next 5 years or so. The world over the MIS/SIS industry is undergoing a consolidation phase with M & A activity at its highest in the last 30 years or so. The Company has secured a firm foothold in the mature North American market with two significant acquisitions to gain a 10% market share. The JV with Naandan gives it strategic access to markets the world over, specially in Europe, South America & Australia while it faces a demand explosion in the fastest growing Indian market. PVC Piping During the year 2007-08 the Indian industry used 1373 KT of PVC Resin, achieving a growth of 13% over previous year. Out of this about 70% i.e. 972 KT was consumed for pipes & fittings. For the year 2008-09 Indian PVC industry in general looks forward to consume 11% more and looks forward to a CAGR of 10% up to the year 2012-13, matching the Global pace. Jain Irrigation, with a 15% share, is one of the handful major players in the organized market. Rest of the industry, being small and medium scale in nature, is unorganized, fragmented and scattered near the user belts in the country. However, there are 3 major players in the organized sector. Increased micro irrigation spends; push for urban infrastructure by government agencies and Command Area Development Programme will improve the demand situation for the industry. PVC & PC Sheets The market is divided into two segment; Graphics Market (GM) and Building Materials Market (BMI) In the BMI segment, Lumber the traditional building material was being replaced by PVC. The basic uses of PVC in BMI was in Trim, used as surrounds for windows and garage doors, Corner Boards, Soffits and interior applications such as Wainscoat and Beadboards. The inherent qualities of PVC such as impervious to water absorbtion; protected against insect attacks and a life term warranty promulgated the product over traditional Lumber. Further, availability of good quality wood was a problem as resources were drying up and cost of processing was escalting. The market is serviced by 7 manufacturers and some Chinese imports. The GM market has been using PVC sheets in manufacturing Sign and Graphic boards, Point-of Purchase displays and large print mediums. This industry has stayed with PVC for over 3 decades. This segment is serviced by 5 manufacturers. Some China products have attempted to penetrate the market. Polycarbonate Sheets have been traditionally used in Glazings, Roofing, Security windows, some Sign and Display applications in the general purpose segment. At the high end, Aeronautical applications, Eyeware, Compact Discs have been its niche markets.

16

PE Piping The applications of PE pipes are growing at a fast pace and yet new applications are being developed for the product. In applications like Sewage & Effluent disposal the tougher environmental laws and stricter application of the same by the Govt. departments, the replacement of cement/metal pipes by PE pipes is becoming very relevant. Such possibilities are huge, especially since the larger diameter PE pipes are now indigenously available within the country itself. The Company’s presence in gas and cable duct segments of the PE pipe business is commanding and hence the overall market share is 30%. The Company is operating in all segments of the industry like cable duct, sprinklers, gas distribution, water conveyance, house service connection, Sewage conveyance, Effluent disposal, sand stowing, dust suppression etc. Fruit processing India is the world’s second largest producer of fruits next only to China and has the potential of becoming the largest producer. India also ranks second in the world in the production of fruits and vegetables. Despite the large production of fruits and vegetables, fruit and vegetable processing was limited to only 2% of the produce till 2001-02. This sector has been accorded a very high priority by the Government of India and fruit & vegetable processing industry has been encouraged. Further, with the economic developments taking place in India, increasing health consciousness and with the coming of organized retail trade, the food industry is poised to grow rapidly. The Indian fruit processing industry is growing currently at the rate of 20% p.a. The demand for fruit juices and fruit drinks and other processed fruit products is growing rapidly in India. Further, Indian mango and other processed fruit products are getting popular in developed markets overseas. There are 4,000 fruit processing units in the country with an aggregate capacity of 1.2 million tones per annum. It is estimated that 20% of the output is exported and the rest caters to domestic consumption. Realizing the opportunity and potential of fruit and vegetable processing, the Company established modern plants a decade ago for processing fruits and vegetables. The Company has also added new capacities, acquired a number of plants and also increased the product portfolio. Jain Irrigation is now the largest processor of fruits and vegetables from India. Apart from growth in mango pulp and the concentrate business, the Company has set-up the most modern and largest Pomegranate processing facility at Jargon. The rationalization of manufacturing locations was completed by the Company in the year under review by deciding to process the mangoes in season only at two locations. The IQF and BF fruit products have further diversified the basket of fruits being processed by the Company.
