III. OTHER INFORMATION:
1. Reason for loss or inadequate profits:
Traditionally, the can industry is high volume and low profit industry. The can sales have been restricted
to low value added products which are very sensitive to price increase, resulting often in lower margins.
Kaira Can Company Limited established its can manufacturing plant in the State of Gujarat, mainly to
cater to the demands of Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Limited (GCMMF) for marketing
Amul products. As GCMMF is a co-operative organisation, taking care of the welfare of farmers, they
are very sensitive to price of cans. Hence, our sale price of cans to GCMMF has low margin of profit.
The sale of OTS cans is highly depending on the mango season every year. This segment of OTS cans
faces fierce competition, where the price and credit period play an important part in the buying decision
by the customers.
The export business of metal cans and its components is highly competitive, which also results in low
margin of profit.
The main raw-material for can manufacturing is tinplate, which forms 70% of the input cost. Most of the
tinplate requirement is procured from indigenous sources.
2. Steps taken or proposed to be taken for improvement of profitability:
Performance and Profitability Improvement Initiatives
The Company has implemented a series of strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing operational
performance and profitability:
1.Operational Efficiency: Streamlined operations by aligning demand with supply, minimizing
manufacturing waste, and driving cost optimization through improved productivity and enhanced
customer satisfaction.
2.Technological Upgrades in the Can Division: The installation of a state-of-the-art printing/
coating machine and oven has significantly improved product quality while reducing production
waste.
3.Capacity Expansion: Deployment of a new body maker and sheet feed press has bolstered the
manufacturing capacity of the Can Division and further elevated product standards.

4.Sugar Cone Division Enhancement: The addition of an advanced machine has increased
production capacity, supporting growth in demand and operational scalability.
5.Energy Load Optimization: Focused on the optimal utilization of maximum demand load to
improve energy efficiency and reduce operational costs.
6.Cost Reduction Measures: A comprehensive cost rationalization strategy is being actively pursued,
targeting all key areas of operation.

III. OTHER INFORMATION:
1. Reason for loss or inadequate profits:
Traditionally, the can industry is high volume and low profit industry. The can sales have been restricted to
low value added products which are very sensitive to price increase, resulting often in lower margins. Kaira
----------------Page (19) Break----------------
Kaira Can Company Limited
www.kairacan.com22
Can Company Limited established its can manufacturing plant in the State of Gujarat, mainly to cater to the
demands of Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Limited (GCMMF) for marketing Amul products.
As GCMMF is a co-operative organisation, taking care of the welfare of farmers, they are very sensitive to
price of cans. Hence, our sale price of cans to GCMMF has low margin of profit.
The sale of OTS cans is highly depending on the mango season every year. This segment of OTS cans
faces fierce competition, where the price and credit period play an important part in the buying decision by
the customers.
The export business of metal cans and its components is highly competitive, which also results in low margin
of profit.
The main raw-material for can manufacturing is tinplate, which forms 70% of the input cost. Most of the
tinplate requirement is procured from indigenous sources.
2. Steps taken or proposed to be taken for improvement of profitability:
Performance and Profitability Improvement Initiatives
The Company has implemented a series of strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing operational
performance and profitability:
1.Operational Efficiency: Streamlined operations by aligning demand with supply, minimizing
manufacturing waste, and driving cost optimization through improved productivity and enhanced
customer satisfaction.
2.Technological Upgrades in the Can Division: The installation of a state-of-the-art printing/
coating machine and oven has significantly improved product quality while reducing production
waste.
3.Capacity Expansion: Deployment of a new body maker and sheet feed press has bolstered the
manufacturing capacity of the Can Division and further elevated product standards.
4.Sugar Cone Division Enhancement: The addition of an advanced machine has increased
production capacity, supporting growth in demand and operational scalability.
5.Energy Load Optimization: Focused on the optimal utilization of maximum demand load to
improve energy efficiency and reduce operational costs.
6.Cost Reduction Measures: A comprehensive cost rationalization strategy is being actively pursued,
targeting all key areas of operation.
7.Sustainable Energy Practices: Continuous energy conservation efforts are underway to support
long-term environmental and economic sustainability.
8.Employee Development: Ongoing training programs and awareness campaigns are being
conducted to enhance workforce skills and align them with organizational goals.
9.Energy Audits and Corrective Action: Regular energy audits are performed to identify inefficiencies
and implement corrective measures promptly.
3. Expected increase in productivity and profits in measurable terms :
With the economy growing steadily and a burgeoning middle class, the processed food market, which is
one of the significant drivers of demand for cans, is set to take a giant leap. India as a low cost high
quality manufacturing base has got worldwide acceptance. This holds great promise for exports of juice
cans, components and printed sheets. Installation of Printing and Coating lines and installation of a new
Body Maker and sheet feed press would enable the Company to compete more effectively in the OTS
market and aggressively tap the export markets.
