PREFACE

TO BE AN MBA student is a matter of pride because you are in field, which helps you to develop from a normal human being into a disciplined, and dedicated professional. In the management field you cannot create success stories if you are not a good learner. You need to be a good learner to sharpen your knowledge in the particular field to achieve and attain the desired goals and heights. Mere bookish or theoretical knowledge cannot help you in any field whether it is management, technology, research, or any other field. The only thing that can help you is having a sound practical knowledge of the concerned field. As a part of our learning in management field and also a requirement of the MBA programmed, we have been very fortune to receive practical knowledge in one of our countrys premier organization RELIANCE INDUSTRY (BARODA COMPLEX) I received our training at RIL as a requirement of the MBA curriculum. This training has made us clear the difference between the theoretical knowledge and the practical scenario, making us aware of the importance of practical working conditions. I have tried to present whatever knowledge, I gained and learned at RIL during our training period in a very systematic manner.

Major Milestones
2009

RIL joins the league of global deepwater oil and gas operators - RIL commenced production of hydrocarbons in its KGD6 block in the Krishna Godavari basin with the production of sweet crude of 420 API. The production of oil in KG-D6 was commissioned in just over two years of its discovery, making it the worlds fastest green-field

deepwater oil development project. With the commissioning of the new refinery in its Special Economic Zone (SEZ), Jamnagar has now become the petroleum hub of the world. With 1.24 Million Barrels Per Day (MBPD) of nominal crude processing capacity, it is the single largest refining complex in the world. RPL merger with RIL: Value creation through scale and synergies - The merger of Reliance Petroleum Limited (RPL) with Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has enabled seamless integration of operational scale and financial synergies that existed between the two Companies. Assets and liabilities of RPL have been transferred to RIL with effect from 1st April 32008, as per the approval granted by the Hon. High Courts of Mumbai and Gujarat. Shareholders of RPL received 1 share of RIL in lieu of every 16 shares of RPL held by them, as per the scheme of merger. Accordingly, 6.92 crore new equity shares of RIL have been allotted to the shareholders of RPL. 2008 During the year, Reliance signed an agreement to acquire certain polyester (capacity) assets of Hualon, Malaysia. In the Refining & Marketing business, Reliance took over majority control of Gulf Africa Petroleum Corporation (GAPCO) and started shipping products to the East African markets.

Products & Brands

The Company expanded into textiles in 1975. Since its initial public offering in 1977, the Company has expanded rapidly and integrated backwards into other industry sectors, most notably the production of petrochemicals and the refining of crude oil. The Company from time to time seeks to further diversify into other industries. The Company now has operations that span from the exploration and production of oil and gas to the manufacture of petroleum products, polyester products, polyester intermediates, plastics, polymer intermediates, chemicals and synthetic textiles and fabrics. The Company's major products and brands, from oil and gas to textiles are tightly integrated and benefit from synergies across the Company. Central to the Company's operations is its vertical backward integration strategy; raw materials such as PTA, MEG, ethylene, propylene and normal paraffin that were previously imported at a higher cost and subject to import duties are now sourced from within the Company. This has had a positive effect on the Company's operating margins and interest costs and decreased the Company's exposure to the cyclicality of markets and raw material prices. The Company believes that this strategy is also important in maintaining a domestic market leadership position in its major product lines and in providing a competitive advantage. The Company's operations can be classified into four segments namely: Petroleum Refining and Marketing business Petrochemicals business Oil and Gas Exploration & Production business Others

The Company has the largest refining capacity at any single location. The Company is: Largest producer of Polyester Fibre and Yarn 4th largest producer of Paraxylene (PX) 5th largest producer of Polypropylene (PP) 7th largest producer of Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) and Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG)

PLANTS
The Vadodara Complex houses 21 plants on over nearly 500 hectares of land and produces large variety of products consisting of Linear Alkyl Benzene, Acrylic Fibers, Acrylic Esters, Ethylene Glycol, Polyvinyl chloride, Polyethylene, polypropylene, Butadiene rubber, etc. The company's registered office is located in Vadodara Complex and that was the first manufacturing facility setup by the company.

COMPANY LOGOS

The first logo, which consisted of a tetrahedron representing the molecular structure of the simplest organic chemical, methane in a circle.

This decision of the government, Everything under one roof inspired the second logo of IPCL. IPCL took up the challenge of setting

up the entire integrated complex at Vadodara.

IPCL, as a

corporate entity, is and what it shall strive to be. This symbol, or logo, reflects

what IPCL is a single matrix of the many; a diversity of activities and products, emerging from one sourceand branching out in different directions, yet retaining its unity and identity. The lines flow upwards and outwards from a common base into infinity, reaching for unending growth, universal goodwill, general prosperity and excellence in everything. The green colour used in the design reinforces the theme - aspiration and growth, rooted in the earth and in harmony with the other elements - water, light, air and space.

The government of India handled over management control to Reliance group on June 4, 2002, since then the company is being managed by reliance.

SWOT ANALYSIS OF RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LTD.

Strengths:
Consolidation: The Indian petrochemicals industry has witnessed

consolidation over the last few years and nearly 85% of the polymer capacity in the domestic market is with the top three participants (Reliance, IPCL and Haldia Petrochemicals (HPL)). Of the three companies mentioned, IPCL forms a part of the Reliance stable while

GAIL is set to pick up stake in HPL. Such high concentration is likely to benefit these players, as this would help reduce duplication of production.
Synergies: Most of the petrochemical players have integrated facilities,

thereby reducing external dependence to a large extent. To put things in perspective, Reliance Industries uses naphtha from its own Jamnagar refinery as a feedstock for the petrochemicals production. IPCL uses Reliance's vast and widespread marketing network to reach out to global consumers. On the other hand, GAIL utilizes natural gas for its petrochemicals capacity. Rich natural gas is evacuated into the pipelines and after separation of the hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane and butane, the lean gas is transmitted to consumers such as power and fertilizer industry. Further, petrochemicals business being a high value add, would add further to the profitability of these integrated companies. Weaknesses:
Low bargaining power vis--vis the suppliers: Input costs form nearly

50% to 60% of the raw material costs. Further, gas prices are regulated but in short supply, while naphtha is an expensive source of feedstock. Refineries realize the import parity prices on naphtha produced and in case of high feedstock prices, petrochemical players have little bargaining power against the suppliers. These players are therefore vulnerable to raw material prices.

Low Bargaining power vis--vis customers: In case of increase in input

costs, the companies might not be able to pass on the rise to the consumers as the prices of products is highly influenced by factors such as international prices and supply. Opportunities:
Low per capita consumption: Currently, domestic per capita polymer

consumption is nearly 4 kgs while the global average is nearly 20 kgs. This underlines the fact that there is immense scope of capacity expansion in the country as the market to be tapped is huge. Further, spending on R&D activities is around 2% of sales as compared to an international average of 18%. This leaves enough room for product development. Also, currently, India has a chemicals trade deficit of about US$ 1.5 bn a year, which leaves enough investment opportunities in the industry.

 Increased economic activity:The government has set aside nearly Rs

400 bn for infrastructure projects such as roadways, airports and convention centers and also towards rural housing augur well for the petrochemicals industry as this is likely to increase demand for various products (high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene among others) for the purpose of road development, packaging, cables and wiring. Also sustained growth in the auto sector is likely to keep the demand for petrochemical products high. As per our estimates, the auto sector is likely to grow at nearly 12% over the next few years. Threats:
Customs duties: Historically, the domestic industry has been protected

from overseas competition by high import duties imposed by the government. However, of late, Import duty on polymers has been steadily reduced and is currently at 20%. As part of its commitment to various multilateral and bilateral trade agreements, the government is likely to reduce duties going forward and this is likely to reduce the cushion enjoyed by the domestic players as against the landed cost of imported products.
Growing competition: The domestic industry is likely to witness

immense competition going forward with IOC all set to enter the segment with its Rs 64 bn project in FY06. Further, ONGC is also venturing into petrochemicals business. With commitments to reduce and eliminate tariff and non-tariff barriers, India, with huge market potential, might witness entry of global majors such as ExxonMobil, Dow Chemicals and Shell into the business. These global majors with deep pockets can actually lead into a pricing war, which could result in squeezing margins. The above analysis is just to provide a view of the sector and by no way advocates any opportunities to invest in the petrochemicals sector. Taking a cue from their global counterparts, Indian majors such as IOC and ONGC are entering into this value add business in a huge way and this is likely to change the entire business dynamics of the companies, not only in India but Asia as Asia is fast becoming the largest petrochemicals manufacturing hub. Going forward, investors need to be aware of this reality and make informed investment decisions in the energy sector.

TDS

& TCS

What is TDS?

TDS is Tax Deducted At Source. When an employee is drawing a salary of Rs. 1,50,000, his employer is liable to deduct TDS (read Income Tax) on his salary part above Rs. 1,50,000 once the employee claims all his/her savings done through LIC, Insurance schemes, PPF, Children School Fees, EPF, House Loans etc. At the end of the year, the employer issue TDS Certificate in the form 16A which employee submit with the Income Tax Return to the Income Tax department while filing ITR. Assesses pays tax in the assessment year on income earned in previous year. Due to this rule the tax collection is delayed till the completion of the previous year. Even sometimes people conceal their income and the tax is not paid at all. In order to overcome these problems, government started to deduct some amount of tax from the amount which is receivable by the assessee. The amount of tax so deducted is called as "Tax Deducted At Source" or TDS in India.

AdvanceTax In some cases, the assessee is required to make a payment of advance tax. Such taxes paid in advance are called prepaid taxes. Tax deduction is mainly done to reduce ones taxable income. In a way tax deductions can reduce the taxable income and thus provide tax relief. Tax deducted in this manner needs to be deposited in the Government treasury and assigned to the Central Government, within a stipulated time period. Indian Government is adhering to the policy of TDS to broaden its tax bracket in the country. Income gained through several sources falls under the tax deduction at source or TDS scheme. Some of such income that is subjected Salary. Interest. Rental fee. Interest on Securities. Insurance commission. Dividends from shares and UTI/Mutual Funds. Commission and brokerage. Prize money won from lotteries, horse races, etc. Payments to non-resident sportsmen or sports associations.

Commission on sale of lottery tickets. Fees for professional and technical services and the like. Compensation for compulsory acquisition. Income from units of an offshore fund. Income from foreign currency bonds or shares of Indian Companies (unless specified as tax-free).

What is TCS? TCS is tax collected at source. When company sells its scrap then it collects tax from vendor it is TCS.

For Example If company sells its scrap worth Rs 1oo and if TCS is 1% then company will collect Rs101 from vendor, 100 (Sale) + 1 (TCS) 101 (collected from vendor)

TCS is not collected on all scrap it depends on different products.

SERVICE TAX

What is service tax?

The scheme of the taxation in India for long concentrated only taxation of goods whether it was excise duty or customs duty. Only marginally the states used to levy some cess / surcharge etc. on water or electricity. But the union government was constrained in the nineties to look for scope for taxation of service as the requirements of revenue for meeting various expenditure of the government. Services are necessary adjunct to any distribution of goods primarily. Even otherwise there are many services which have no link with the manufacture / distribution of goods. But services have a positive nexus with the growth and development the economy. Roughly over 50% of the contribution to GDP in India comes from the service sector.

CENTRAL EXCISE DUTY-1944

INTRODUCTION An excise or excise tax (sometimes called an excise duty) is a type of tax Charged on goods produced within the country (as opposed to customs Duties charged on goods from outside the country). It is a tax on the Manufacture of excisable good. Typical examples of excise duties are taxes on tobacco, alcohol and Gasoline. Definition The New Oxford English Dictionary says the same thing: "a tax levied on Certain goods and commodities produced or sold within a country And on licenses granted for certain activities

APPLICABILITY OF EXCISE DUTY As per section 3 of Central Excise Act (CEA) excise duty is levied if: If There is a good, 1. Goods must be moveable 2. Goods are marketable 3. Goods are mentioned in the central excise tariff act (CETA).

Goods are manufactured in India. Therefore we can say that excise duty is not levied on:

1) Services such as doctors treating the patients, accountants preparing The accounts, in these cases service tax are levied. 2) Immovable goods such as roads, bridges and buildings. 3) Non-Marketable goods, i.e., goods for which no market exists, e.g. Melted iron ore at 1600 degree Celsius. 4) Goods that are not mentioned in CETA; and 5) Goods manufactured or produced out of India. If production or Manufacture is in special economic zone then no excise duty is levied

VALUE ADDED TAX (VAT)

Introduction
CENVAT" means Central Value Added Tax. Earlier it was known as MODVAT. CENVAT is introduced to remove the cascading effect As the stages of production and sales continue, each subsequent purchaser has to pay tax again and again on the duty paid material. By this process cost of product goes on increasing until it reaches to the ultimate consumer.

By this scheme, manufacturer, 1st stage dealer, 2nd stage dealer can take the credit commonly called as CENVAT Credit on "duty paid" on raw material or the eligible inputs for the payment of duty on final products. For this purpose Government has prescribed CENVAT Credit Rules, 2002

W.e.f. 10.9.2004 New CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 has been introduced vide which has superseded CENVAT Credit Rules, 2002. This new cenvat credit rules,2004 has introduced inter sectoral credit scheme.

Conditions for allowing CENVAT credit.-

 The CENVAT credit in respect of inputs may be taken immediately on receipt of the inputs in the factory of the manufacturer: The CENVAT credit in respect of capital goods received in a factory at any point of time in a given financial year shall be taken only for an amount not exceeding fifty per cent. of the duty paid on such capital goods in the same financial year.

The balance of CENVAT credit may be taken in any financial year subsequent to the financial year in which the capital goods were received in the factory of the manufacturer, if the capital goods, other than components, spares and accessories, refractories and refractory materials and goods falling under heading No. 68.02 and sub-heading No. 6801.10 of the 1ST Schedule to the Tariff Act, are in the possession and use of the manufacturer of final products in such subsequent years. Illustration. - A manufacturer received machinery on April 16, 2001 in his factory. CENVAT of two lakhs rupees is paid on this machinery. The manufacturer can take credit up to a maximum of one lakhs rupees in the financial year 2001-2002, and the balance in subsequent years.

The CENVAT credit in respect of the capital goods shall be allowed to a manufacturer even if the capital goods are acquired by him on lease, hire purchase or loan agreement, from a financing company. The CENVAT credit in respect of capital goods shall not be allowed in respect of that part of the value of capital goods which represents the amount of duty on such capital goods, which the manufacturer claims as depreciation under section 32 of the Income-tax Act, 1961( 43 of 1961).

Restriction on Credit Capital Goods- Upto 50% Cenvat amount is to be availed in Current financial year. Balance 50% credit to be availed in next financial Year. Capital Goods acquired in Office premises is not eligible for credit. Capital Goods are used exclusively for exempted product not eligible for credit. The Cenvat Credit can be allowed only to the extent II stage dealer and not beyond that. Material Send for the job work must be received within 180 days or required to pay duty. Direct delivery of inputs to sub contractor - credit allowed only after receipt of material.

MERITS OF EXCISE DUTY

Central excise revenue is the biggest single source of revenue for the Government of India. The Union Government tries to achieve different socioeconomic objectives by making suitable adjustments in the scope and quantum of levy of Central Excise duty. The scheme of Central Excise Levy is suitably adapted and modified to serve different purposes of price Control, sufficient supply of essential commodities, industrial growth, and Promotion of small scale industries and like Authority for collecting the Central Excise duty. Article 265 of the Constitution of India has laid down that both levy and Collection of taxes shall be under the authority of law. The excise duty is levied in pursuance of Entry 45 of the Central List in Government of India Act, 1935 as adopted by entry 84 of List I of the seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India. Charging section is Section 3 of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944.

Limitations of the excise duty

Critics of excise tax - such as Samuel Johnson, above - have interpreted And described excise duty as simply a government's way of levying further and unnecessary taxation on the population. The presence of "refunds of duty" under the UK's list of excisable activities has been used to support this argument, as it results in taxation being implemented on persons even where they would normally be exempt from paying other types of taxes hence why they are getting the refund in the first place.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Inventory is a very expensive asset that can be replaced with a less expensive asset called information. In order to do this, the information must be timely, accurate, reliable, and consistent. When this happens, you carry less inventory, reduce cost and get products to customers faster. -J. David Viale RIL vadodara complex is the only unit in whole Asia, which is having 22 plants in a single complex. RIL has various department like finance, marketing, human resource, material procurement, research and development and safety and security etc.

My focus of study is on finance (material) department. We all know that material is required for the any organization and it cost about the 60% to 70% of the total cost of the organization. The basic work of material management is to procure the material to the required department and to maintain the stock. The materials that are purchased are both indigenous and imported. The inventory can be classified in to various categories.

Raw material, chemical and catalysts. Fuel and lubricants. Instrumentation items. Mechanical consumables. Safety and fire items. Steel and cement. Packaging items. Scrap.

Classification of inventory Inventory can be classified in to different types

ABC analysis VED analysis FSN analysis JIT MRP MRP II

1. ABC analysis ABC in ABC analysis stands for Always Better Control that is the control should be there on the more costly items to less costly items. The inventory whose cost is round about 70% of the total cost of inventory are regarded as type A, while inventory with 20% to 25% of total cost are known as type B and 5% to 10% cost is of type C. imported items and costly items are included in A type. For RIL they are doing the ABC analysis every six months and get the information.

2. VED analysis VED means Vital Essential Desirable, by it name only it tell how it manages the inventory. The items that is vital for the production process without which the whole plant can be shutdown. So these types of items are known as Vital, they can be chemicals, catalysts and spares equipments. While the essential types of item are those, which are needed for, the production process but they will not create the shutdown of the plant. And Desirable items are those which is also required but that can be stocked or can be purchased whenever required.

3. FSN analysis FSN stands for Fast moving, Slow moving, Non-moving inventory, it states the movement of the inventory, if any inventory is been not used for more than 5 years then it is included in non moving inventory, the inventory which are been used within the year are known as fast moving inventory, and the inventory which is not used for 0 4 years are included as slow moving inventory.

4. Just In Time Just in time is also known as JIT, this type of purchasing will avoid the overstocking. In JIT the inventory is purchased only when it is required, this type of inventory management is used for only those inventories, which are easily and at a time available. So that the shutdown may not arise due to its shortage. In RIL only seals are purchased under the JIT, and all other inventory are been stocked.

5. MRP MRP stands for Materials Requirement Planning; this is time-phased priority planning system. This is the tool that helps the management to forecast the proper amount of production and on that basis purchase planning of inventory is made.

It takes into account the valid master production planning Materials required for the production process.

Accurate and timely inventory status. Order policy Lead time for purchasing and production process.

It also comprises of following steps 1. 2. 3. 4. Gross requirement of inventory. On hand inventory. Residual open orders. Plan new orders.

Benefits of MRP

Reduction inventory Quick response in demand and supply RIL does not follow the MRP technique

1. MRP II MRP II stands for Manufacturing Resources Planning, it provides the necessary tools for effective planning controlling and managing the resources of manufacturing organization. It helps in various stages like resources, planning, business plan, and production plan. It also helps in providing information to plan priorities and respond the production changes, meet delivery schedule and material costs under control.

Benefits of MRP II

Optimizes the inventory investment Improves productivity Improves product quality Reduce purchase cost Reduce obsolescence

On the above chart we see that company can able to write off 40% value of electrical stores and 28% value of mechanical stores, but company can not write off any value of packaging stores. Very important matter is that purchase value of RM/CHE/CAT is very high but company writes off its value only 0.143% it is very low compare to other materials. There for company should take certain steps against RM/CHE/CAT stores.

Because of the non moving nature of items mentioned in previous chart it is mandatory to create provisions as above.

FINDING AND RECOMMENDATION From the study of various functional department like Production, Finance, HR and Purchase and stores department, we come to know that the company is having latest technology and highly educated employees are adding the value of Indian chemical industries. It can be considered that RIL is using backward integration strategy . RIL is using best technology for the production and increasing the GDP of India by producing standard quality of products. The quality of products is up to the mark as per ISO standards. RIL is giving tremendous HR activities to the employees. Employees are getting top class facilities like Medical, LTC, RLTE, Canteen facilities, Transport services, children education assistance etc. Company has adapted Six sigma to improve quality in every aspect. Finance department is working on continuous basis and it is highly facilitated with SAP as its operating system. Here entries are continuously made as per the merger has proved to he boon for RIL, it is indicative thought the lifetime high turnover of Rs.1061 crore. There are other six sister concern which are merged. Thus it is apparent that company is performing very well.

RECOMMENDATION The company should complete the pending inventory clean up exercise and merge useful inventory in SAP as early as possible. It should takeover all pending sub- stores items (only useful ones) and eliminate sub-stores practices. The company communize and merge more and more items across all sites. The company should crystallize bare minimum stock control items lists and clamp on strict MRP levels to work with phased deliveries and ARCs (Annual Rate Contracts.). The company should developed and inculcate an Inventory efficient culture in the complex Out of total inventory 28% working as non-moving, it is not to high but company should reduce this level, it will help for increase profit margin of company. In non moving materials, purchase value of RM/CHE/CAT store is near about RS. 122.87 crore. It is 44% of total purchase value so it is very high than other, company should take some steps for reduction of stock with proper method of inventory.Company wrote provision in the balance sheet for the non moving materials as depreciation fund. Company could write off 40% value of electrical store, 28% of mechanical store and 21% of instrumentation store. But for other material company could not write off their value even more than 2% or 3% of their purchase value in these 17 years and for packaging Materials Company could not

write off its any value. Therefore company should take some steps for provision for the other than electrical stores. Company calculated Rs. 55.81crore for the provision during last 17 years; it means company mention Rs.3.28 crore every year as provision. From that provision company could benefited in tax saving. From the provision company could save near about 1.62 crore rupees every year therefore company should also payable more 0.08 as EPS. Company should try to remove non moving materials because of without non moving materials company should increase its inventory tern over ratio 1 time from 4.63 to 5.56 times in the year. It will helpful for the company to increase profitability of company.

 If there is no any types of non moving material in company, inventory holding period also decrease from 78.81 to 65.60 days. It will also benefit for the company to increase efficiency of the operating cycle. Without non moving materials operating cycle makes also faster by 13 days and it will put very good position to the company Company has taken care to include Six Sigma in each and every department but in inventory there is approximately 10% of non moving inventory, we can reduce this to save at least 300 crore of non moving inventory, it is suggested to reduce this to 5% to save at least 200 to 250 crore approximately. It is tough to have six sigma in weights thats why it is nearly impossible to have six sigma in this area.
