Asian countries) and higher cost of production due to inordinate delay in alJeviating its capacity constraint for manufacturing of HRG rubber which is a key intermediate product. The ratings, however, continue to draw comfort from the established and long track record of 51Lwith its leadership position in the Indian Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) & Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN) co.polymer markets with focus on customized specialty products, diversified clientele, steady demand prospects from end-user industries such as consumer durables and refrigeratiDn liners. The ratings also take into account the established position of the promoter group of SIL in the styrene based polymer business glDbally, its state.Df.the-art manufacturing facilities, established arrangement fDr procurement of key raw materials along with its comfortable leverage and adequate liquidity indicators. However, the above rating strengths continue to be constrained by susceptibility of SfL's moderate profitability to volatile raw material prices as they are derivatives of crude oil, foreign currency lComplete definitions of the ratings assigned are available at www.coreratinqs.com and in other CAREpublications.

Moreover, it also helps Sil to compete effectively against large scale producers from South - East Asian countries. Board of Directors including Independent Directors of Sil is competent marked by experienced professionals including nominees from Jneos group. Market leader in A8S and SAN business in India which has diversified application Sil manufactures various grades of ABS under the brand name 'Absolac', 'Novodur' and 'luran', and SAN under the brand name 'Absolan' and has been a pioneer in this field and continues to remain the market leader in both these product segments in India. ABS and SAN are versatile engineering thermoplastic material and their high-impact, ignition-resistant and other properties meet the application needs across a broad range of market segments.

It benefits from its presence in the specialty grade of ASS where it faces relatively lower competition from imports; albeit this demand has experienced moderation since H2FY19 due to slowdown in demand from the domestic automotive industry. Apart from automobile, SILalso caters to the demand from household consumer durable application and other commodity grades of ASS which in turn results in large and diversified customer base. State-of-the-art manufacturing facilities generally operating at comfortable capacity utilization levels; albeit some moderation in capacity utilization during lost one year SILhas modern manufacturing facilities and a state-of-the-art R&D center located in Gujarat. Sll has an installed capacity of 80,000 MTPA of ASS, 100,000 MTPA of SAN and 78,000 MTPA of Polystyrene as on March 31, 2019. Capacity utilization of ASS,though moderated due to slowdown in demand from the auto sector, stood comfortable. Captive consumption of SAN in the manufacturing of ASS has remained stable during FY19 (refers to the period April 1 to March 31). SIL has an ongoing project to expand its ASS compounding capacity by 34,000 MTPA at its Moxi plant at a tentative cost of RS.130 crore funded through borrowing from Ineos group to the tune of RS.I00 crore and balance from internal accruals.
