Executive Summary
The Project was about analyzing Indian Wood companies. The analysis
comprised of detailed analysis of companies business line, shareholding
pattern of the company, press releases and the impact of this press
releases on the stock prices. The research has helped in understanding
how dierent companies function and operates, its arious competitors.
The growth aspects of the company was determined by going through the
annual reports, as well as Inestor Presentation. The result of !"#$% was
found on the &'( website in the corporate )lings. The research was
conducted by going through arious management interiews to )nd out
what they will be doing in the coming years and what their long#term
goals are.
!or )nancial analysis of the company, it was re*uired to go through the
Income 'tatement, Pro)t + oss of the company. -arious calculations
were undertaken to )nd the )nancial ratios, aluation ratios of the
company. These ratios helped in understanding the )nancial iability of
the company. The research helped in )nding out arious sources from
where the company generates reenue and what the break#up of the
reenue is and also epenses carried out by the company on its /esearchand deelopment. The information for the research was taken from the
companies0 o1cial website and from arious other websites such as
/esearch bytes, money control etc.

Chapter 2Introduction
2.1 Introduction to the Industry:
The international wood industry has become more comple due to
globalisation, production assortment and the deelopment of
technologies. (nironmental protection also plays a major role to
the deelopment of this sector 2processed materials, naturepreseration, etc3. (uropean, 4ustralian and 5'4 manufacturers
compete with the imported 4sian products that are cheaper. The
industry has responded to these threats by enhancing productiity,
targeting niche markets and improing *uality, design and
marketing. In many companies, the production process consists of
the assembly and gluing of particleboard which is coated with a
decoratie coering such as a eneer. The leel of skills inoled is
not as sophisticated as in craft work. 6eertheless, the skills are
important particularly in respect of the operation and maintenance
of computer numerically controlled machines, )nishing techni*ues
and in the case of soft furniture, the sewing, cutting and pattern
making.
The method of working, howeer, is as important as the actual skills
of the operaties. 'peci)cally, 7working in cells0 has been shown to
be more e1cient in reducing lead times and in optimising machine
utilisation. These working arrangements, howeer, re*uire a high
degree of multi#skilling on the part of the production operaties.
The deelopment of craft skills is essential for the surial of the(uropean furniture industry. 8raft skills are necessary to produce
high *uality, intricate furniture items based on solid wood.

The market for such products is less sensitie to price than the
market for mass produced furniture constructed from wood
composites and it is a market therefore which can be successfully
eploited by the (uropean companies. The increasing compleity of the industry means that it re*uires a cadre of uniersity *uali)ed
professionals to proide many of the technical, superisory and
management functions. :esign and marketing hae become the
twin pillars on which any successful deelopment strategy for this
industry must be based.
The diersity of India0s range of forested areas is a distinct
adantage for the country0s wood industry. The country has anabundance of dierent kinds of forest growth such as tropical
hardwood, deciduous, eergreen and coniferous forests. The wood
industry produces a wide ariety of items such as decoratie and
constructional plywood, hardboard, particleboard and )breboard.
Wood and wood#based products are demanded by seeral
segments including defence, railways, furniture and indiidual
consumers. ;oweer, the rapid depletion of the forest resources
has dealt a blow to the industry0s future prospects. The industry is
also highly fragmented and unorganised that leads to problems in
the demand#supply chain.

2.1.1 Forest Situation & Outlook
$n $=%9, the >oernment of India established a goal to raise the
forested area to one third of India0s land mass. 'ubse*uently, a
number of eorts were made to limit human and animal pressure
on forests and reforest key areas. ;oweer, the pressure from
humans to harest wood for fuel and other uses along with the
clearing of land for agriculture, coupled with persistent use of forests as a source of fodder for animals, hae preented the
goernment from reaching its goal. In addition to $.9 billion
inhabitants liing in an area that is one#third the size of the 5nited
'tates, India has large cattle and goat populations that graze widely
and consume forest resources.
4ccording to the 9?$$ !orest 'urey of India, forests coered just
99 percent of India of which 9.% percent is dense forest de)ned as a
tree canopy density of @? percentA $? percent is moderately dense
de)ned as a tree canopy density of B?#@? percentA and = percent isopen forest de)ned as a density of $?#B? percent. These )gures do
not dierentiate tree coer by typeA hence parks, orchards,
mangroe areas, and plantations are counted as part of the forest
coer, suggesting that actual forest coer is well below 99 percent.

hardwoods that are perceied to be more resistant to termites and
decay. 8onsumers also hae a strong preference for dark tropical
woods. Teak is typically seen as a benchmark with respect to grade
and prices of other wood species.
Dajor imported wood species are teak, meranti, and mahogany.
:omestic farmed and plantation timber includes teak, eucalyptus,
and poplar, spruce, pine, and )r. India imports small *uantities of
temperate hardwoods such as ash, maple, cherry, oak, walnut, and
beech for commercial and home interiors and furniture, some of
which is made for eport. Wood imports are epected to continue
rising, but the moe away from logs and tropical woods will likely be
slow. (en as Indians become aware of foreign woods, the
perceied bene)ts of importing logs and the cost of foreign woodsare often cited as reasons for maintaining the status *uo.
6eertheless, India is a potential market for imported wood
products, including 4merican species, but eporters should be
prepared to start small and be patient.
/ising incomes and real estate deelopment are boosting demand
for imported hardwood and softwood lumber arieties for use in
building projects as interior decorating materials and furniture.
India0s smaller Ftier# twoG and Ftier#threeG cities are emerging
markets, with a growing housing supply and need for interiormaterials and furnishings. India0s )rst home stores hae opened
oer the past few years, introducing customers to new concepts in
home decoration. 6ew stores include ;omecentre, :urian, (ok,
;omestores, and ;ometown. (#business is also emerging as an
increasingly important marketing and distribution channel for both
raw wood materials and )nished wood products. India has an
estimated $9? million actie internet users and online retailing is
the fastest growing retail segment.

!or wood logs and lumber, wholesale markets remain the most
important distribution channel for medium or small#sized processors
and interior design companies. ;oweer, large construction projects
and manufacturers prefer to purchase directly from woodmanufacturers and importers. !inished consumer wood products
2Hoorings and furniture3 targeted at domestic markets are mainly
further distributed through professional building material markets
and specialized showrooms to urban consumers. India is
increasingly becoming a market where imported woods are
conerted to higher alue products such as furniture for eport.
