CHAPTER - 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE

In India, industrial valves market has been catalysed by rising demand for power across
diverse end use sectors such as oil and gas, power, petrochemicals, etc. Oil & gas pipeline
infrastructure is undergoing considerable expansion in India and since valves are regularly
deployed in pipelines, which in turn has been driving their sales in this sector in India.
Widening demand supply gap in Indian power industry has been driving the need for power
capacity additions, which in turn is providing a boost to valves market in the country. With
policy liberalization, power sector has been allocated with huge inflow of investments over
the past few years. In the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17), government of India allocated
76,000 MW capacity addition in the country’s power infrastructure. The sector also attracted
ample foreign direct investments during 2000-14, which added to the growth of industrial
valves market. On account of rising growth, other industries including chemical,
petrochemical and fertilizer have also been driving the demand for valves in the country.

The global economy has had subdued growth for the last few years with global output
contracting by 0.6 per cent in 2009. However, it is expected to embark on a growth trajectory
going forward largely on the back of developing economies, and the IMF expects global
output to grow by 3.8 per cent in 2015. The Indian economy seems poised for the next phase
of growth after sluggish performance over the past few years. The recent data on the
composite performance of eight core industries – coal, crude, oil, natural gas, refinery
products, fertilisers, steel, cement and electricity – is seen to be encouraging. Assuming such
trends are sustained in the coming months, there would be much better industrial growth in
H2 of FY15. The pumps and valves manufacturers are significant suppliers to the process
industry and also cater to other end use sectors such as automation for discrete manufacturing
and pumps for agricultural use. The pumps and valves market in India provides an
opportunity of `17,500 crore and is expected to grow at an annual rate of 7 to 10 per cent over
the next few years. The new government in the centre is expected to take policy initiatives
that will help the Indian industry. The signs of recovery in the global economy also bode well
for pumps and valves manufacturers. It is thus time for domestic manufacturers to strive to
overcome current challenges and gear up for the next phase of growth. Indian Pumps Industry
 2

Global pump market is estimated at USD 47 billion in 2014 and is estimated to reach USD 56
billion by 2017. The Indian pump market is close to 2 per cent of the global market and was
estimated at ` 8,500 crore in FY14. Agriculture and Building services are the two largest end
use segments, as depicted in the figures 1 and 2. The pump industry is classified into
centrifugal and positive displacement pumps, with centrifugal pumps being 95 per cent of the
market, within which single stage radial flow pumps and submersible pumps together make
up 70 per cent.

Features positive displacement pumps account for the largest share of positive displacement
pumps. Key manufacturers of centrifugal pumps in India are: Kirloskar Brothers Limited
(KBL), KSB, Grundfos, CRI and Aqua Group. India exports pumps to nearly 70 countries. In
FY14, exports stood at `1,280 crores, having more than doubled over three years. As much as
16 per cent of Indian pump manufacturing capacity is geared for exports. Key export
destinations are the Middle East, North Africa and other more developed economies such as
USA, Germany and Russia. The emerging markets of China and Latin America also provide
attractive opportunities. the industry players reveal that succeeding in global markets will
require increased focus on quality along with low cost positioning and active marketing. India
is well positioned to grow into a much larger manufacturing base for pumps driven by
attractive factor conditions. It is very likely that India will be a significant exporter of pumps
in the coming years. Indian Industrial Valves Industry Industrial valves market is divided into
two segments - On-Off valves and Control valves. On-off valves accounts for 98 per cent of
the valves market by volume and 80 per cent by value. About 88 per cent of the demand is
from projects, while 12 per cent is replacement demand. Global market for industrial valves is
expected to reach USD 75 billion by 2017 with China, Africa, Middle East and India
expected to propel the demand. Oil and gas followed by power, petrochemicals, chemicals
and fertilisers are the major end use sectors, as shown in figure 4. The Indian valve industry is
highly fragmented with around 600 valve manufacturers, of which more than 95 per cent are
in the micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) category. Top 10 players service 40 per
cent of the market. Demand for high end customised valves is bound to grow in the MENA
region with their shift from upstream oil and gas based economy to supply of refined
petroleum products. Large addition of refining capacity is underway in the MENA region.
Investment in desalination plants will further increase demand for valves. The NAFTA region
will account for about 18 per cent of total valve demand by 2017. Discovery of shale gas and
huge investment for its extraction has turned USA into a net exporter of oil and gas. These
investments will drive demand for valves in the future. Way Forward Indian pumps and
 3

valves manufacturers must capitalise on the anticipated growth opportunities that the
domestic as well as the export markets present. With the global industry becoming more and
more competitive, it becomes imperative for any manufacturer to strive for excellence with
both inward and outward focus. Inward Focus: Bulk of manufacturing in the Pumps & Valves
industry is project based which necessitates the need for having strong but flexible business
processes in organisation. Domestic companies face growing complexity in terms of product
portfolio, geographies, customer expectation etc. as they grow in revenue. Symptoms such as
high and erratic lead time, underutilisation of plant and people and tapering of profit margin
point to current process’s inability. Those companies which will embrace evolved business
processes will remain competitive and grow further. Outward Focus: With a substantial part
of future opportunities expected to come from the export market, it has become inevitable for
the Indian manufacturers to be at par with their global peers. While Indian products fare well
on the quality front, there exists a lacuna in branding and service delivery. While a few
forward looking companies have already felt the need to address these challenges and are
reorienting themselves, a large section of the industry has significant work to do in this
regard. These point towards the need to gear up with robust processes to ensure relationship
building with global customers and hence profiting from global growth

According to “India Industrial Valves Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2020”,

industrial valves market is expected to register substantial growth at a CAGR of 13% during
2015-2020. Growing demand for industrial valves in power and oil & gas processing sector
have been driving the sales of industrial valves in the country. Indian government is also
investing significantly in the country’s oil and gas pipeline infrastructure development, which
is expected to drive the installation of valves over the forecast period. The market is also
moving towards significant consolidation on account of rising merger and acquisition
activities in the country. In addition to robust growth opportunities, industrial valves market is
also facing various challenges such as volatility in raw material prices and dependence on
imports for large-size choke valves. Some of the major players engaged in offering industrial
valves in the Indian market are L&T Valves Limited, NSSL Limited, Microfinish Valves Pvt.
Ltd., CRI Valves and Kirloskar Brothers Limited.

India’s valves industry, estimated at Rs 10,000 crore, is expected to grow at 7-8 per cent per
annum after a flat growth this year and exports too will expand at a healthy rate, experts said
today.
 4

With over nine per cent Compounded Annual Growth Rate, the Indian Industrial Valves
market is expected to touch USD three billion by 2023.

Valves and actuators play a critical role in sectors such as power, oil and gas, water, steel and
cement. With the growth in infrastructure sector, demand for valves and actuators in India has
grown significantly in the last decade.

Indian valves industry must gear up to meet the future demand expected from the substantial
investment proposed in power generation, petrochemicals, gas and fertiliser plants in the 12th
Five Year Plan (2012-17), Engineers India Director (Technical) P Mahajan said at Valves
Conference 2012 here.
According to a report on ‘Indian urban infrastructure and services’ drawn up in March 2011
by an expert committee set up by the ministry of urban development, investments totalling Rs
39.2 lakh crore investments are lined up for urban infrastructure development over the next
20 years. This apart, the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has plans to add 100,000 Mw in
power generation capacity during the 12th plan.

“Out of this total Rs 39.2 lakh crore investment, 10-15 per cent will go towards water-related
projects. And the valves segment constitutes 2 per cent of the total cost of the water projects,”
said an official of a Hyderabad-based valve manufacturing company.

However, despite the booming market opportunities, the valve industry is characterised by
low profit margins, lack of innovation and technology upgradation and problems relating to
supply chain management, logistics and increasing raw material costs. “Increase in raw
material cost hugely affects production, as it constitutes 60 per cent of the product cost,”
Seshaiah said.

Promotion Mix

Cold Calling
Cold calling is a technique in which a salesperson contacts individuals who have not
previously expressed interest in the offered products or services. Cold calling typically refers
to solicitation by phone or telemarketing, but can also involve in-person visits, such as with
door-to-door salespeople. Successful cold call salespersons should be persistent and willing to
endure rejection. To be successful, they should adequately prepare by researching the
 13

demographics of their prospects and the market. Consequently, professions which rely
heavily on cold calling typically have a high attrition rate.

Exhibition
A trade fair (trade show, trade exhibition, or expo) is an exhibition organized so that
companies in a specific industry can showcase and demonstrate their latest products and
services, meet with industry partners and customers, study activities of rivals, and examine
recent market trends and opportunities.

Brochures & Cate logs

A brochure is an informative paper document (often also used for advertising) that can be
folded into a template, pamphlet or leaflet. A brochure can also be a set of related unfolded
papers put into a pocket folder or packet. Brochures are promotional documents, primarily
used to introduce a company, organization, products or services and inform prospective
customers or members of the public of the benefits.

Channel of Distribution

Supply chain and distribution channel are the two important arms of any
manufacturing organization, without which any manufacturing firm cannot run their business.
Here FLS follows the Direct Export method to the supplier based on their orders and as per
their requirements. There is no intermediates for this process.
CRM Practices

CRM or Customer Relationship Management is a strategy for managing an

organisation's relationships and interactions with customers and potential customers. A CRM
system helps companies stay connected to customers, streamline processes, and improve
profitability.
In FLS, the CRM is done through the representatives that they have in several
countries. They will be acting like a agents of FLS and intermediate FLS & customers/clients

2.4 PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT

Production Process
 20

Designing
New products, variants of standard products or products entirely developed on
specifications provided by customers are studied and designed by the highly trained staff of
the Technical division. Thanks to the assistance of avant-garde technologies and software,
together with great experience grown during the years, the company stands out for fast
execution and maximum flexibility from the very beginning.

Pattern Manufacturing
In casting, a pattern is a replica of the object to be cast, used to prepare the cavity into
which molten material will be poured during the casting process.

Patterns used in sand casting may be made of wood, metal, plastics or other materials.
Patterns are made to exacting standards of construction, so that they can last for a reasonable
length of time, according to the quality grade of the pattern being built, and so that they will
repeatedly provide a dimensionally acceptable casting

Moulding

Moulding is the shaping of raw material using a solid frame of a particular shape,
called a pattern. It is a process used in manufacturing. A mould is a hollow container that will
hold the liquid material until it turns solid. The liquid hardens or sets inside the mould,
adopting its shape. Materials commonly used in moulding include plastic, metal, glass and
ceramic.

Core Making
Shell Core-Making Process. Sand is pre-coated with a resin and poured into a pre-heated core
box. In this case, there is no catalyst and the surface is heated until it forms a thin, hard shell.
The sand on the inside of the core is uncured and can actually be poured out and reused.

Melting
 21

It is a process of melting the casting with the particular temperature of heat and make it as a
liquid form

Pouring
The melted casting will be poured into the pre-set moulding in liquid form. The liquid
material will be kept for dry to make it as a solid material.

Cutting
In this process the main core will be removed out from the mould and it will be shape with
lots of unwanted or extra casting deposited on it. That will be removed by using cutting tools
and sharpened before it goes for the machine shop

Machine Shop

The product will be fully finished in this part called pre-machinery and the machinery.
The machining of all valve bodies and components are made internally in the machining
division thanks to qualified staff and advanced CNC machining stations

Quality Development

To test the product to check whether that is on best quality or not, before giving final
clearance. Testing is performed on the entire production by highly qualified personnel under
the supervision of Quality Control. Testing stations are designed to test for tightness at a
pressure significantly higher than the exercise class reported on the body of the valve. On
demand, Quality Control can issue the certificate showing the test results from the type (air or
water) and parameters (intensity & duration) of the tests performed. Throughout the
production process components and semi-finished products are subjected to rigorous checks
and tests to verify their compliance during the production stages that precede the assembly.

Assembling

After testing process is done, the parts of the product will be assembled properly and
turned as a finished product
 22

Logistics

After finishing the product, the dispatching process that is packing and shipping will
be done by the logistics department and usually that will be done by
