1. This limit is applicable prior to additionof cetane number improvers, if used. In case a value exceeding the limlt is obtained on finished fuels in the market, ASTM D 4046 shall be used to establish the presence of nitrate containing cetane number improvers. In such case the present limit for carbon residue cannot be applied. However, the use of cetane number improvers does not exempt the manufacturer from meeting this requirement prior to the addition of additives. 2. When a test engine is not available or when the quantity of the sample is too small for an engine rating ‘Calculated Cetane Index by Four Variable Equation’ by ASTM D 4737 may be used for estimation of cetane number. The error in prediction of the ‘Calculated Cetane Index’ by this method will be less than +2 Cetane Number for fuels having Cetane Number within the range of 32 to 56. It may be noted that this method is not applicable to pure hydrocarbons or fueIs containing cetane improvers or fuels derived from coal. For arbitration purposes, the direct determination of cetane number by means of the standardized engine test shall be used unless the buyer and the seller agree otherwise. 3. Subject to agreement between the purchaser and the supplier, a lower or higher maximum, pour point andCFPP may he required for special applications and geographical areas. 4. Winter shall be the period from November to February (both months inclusive) and rest of the months of the year shall be called as summer. 5.

DISINVESTMENT POLICY 2003 FOR STATE OF SIKKIM

Objective

1. The primary objectives for disinvesting/privatising the Public Sector Undertakings are as follows:

Releasing large amount of public resources locked up in non productive PSUs, for redeployment in areas that are much higher on the social priority, such as, basic health, family welfare, primary education and social and essential infrastructure;

Stemming further outflow of scarce public resources for sustaining the unviable PSUs;

Reducing the public debt that is threatening to assume unmanageable proportions;

Transferring the commercial risk, to which the taxpayers’ money locked up in the public sector is exposed, to the private sector wherever the private sector is willing and able to step in. The money that is deployed in the PSUs is really the public money and is exposed to an entirely avoidable and needless risk, in most cases; Releasing other tangible and intangible resources, such as, large manpower currently

locked up in managing the PSUs, and their time and energy, for redeployment in high

priority social sectors that are short of such resources.

2. 0ther benefits expected from privatisation

Disinvestment would expose the privatised companies to market discipline, thereby forcing them to become more efficient and survive or cease on their own financial and economic strength. They would be able to respond to the market forces much faster and cater to their business needs in a more professional manner. It would also facilitate in freeing such companies from Government control and introduce corporate governance in the privatised companies.

Disinvestment should result in wider distribution of wealth through offering of shares of privatised companies to small investors.

Opening up the public sector to appropriate private investment would increase economic activity and have an overall beneficial effect on the economy, employment and tax revenues in the medium to long term.

The main objective of disinvestment is to put state resources and assets to optimal use and in particular to unleash the productive potential inherent in our public sector enterprises.

Government would continue to ensure that disinvestment does not result in alienation of state assets, which, through the process of disinvestment, remain where they are. It will also ensure that disinvestment does not result in private monopolies. Disinvestment is not merely for mobilizing revenues for the Government, it is mainly for unlocking the productive potential of these undertakings, and for reorienting the Government, away from business and towards the business of governance.

Disinvestment/ privatization will be carried out in a fair/legal/transparent manner.

3.Rationale

The Public sector has played a laudable role in enabling our state to achieve the objective of self- reliance. However, the significantly changed economic environment that now prevails both in the state and the country makes it imperative for both the public sector and the private sector to become competitive. Learning from our experience, especially over the last decade, it is evident that disinvestment in public sector enterprises is no longer a matter of choice, but an imperative. The prolonged fiscal haemorrhage from the majority of these enterprises cannot be sustained any longer. The disinvestment would ensure the availability of resources for other purposes which are at present are being pumped into these enterprises without any return.

The public sector has played a vital role in the development of our economy. However, the nature of this role cannot remain frozen to what it was conceived years ago - a time when the technological landscape, and the domestic and national economic environment were so very different. The private sector in State has come of age, contributing substantially to our state building process. Therefore, both the public sector and private sector need to be viewed as mutually complementary parts of the industrial sector. The private sector must assume greater public responsibilities just as the public sector needs to focus more on achieving results in a highly competitive market. Most of the public enterprises have accumulated huge losses. With public finances under intense pressure, State Government is just not able to sustain them much longer. Accordingly, the State Government is compelled to embark on a programme of disinvestment.

There are many PSUs, which are sick and not capable of being revived. The only remaining option is to close down these undertakings after providing an acceptable safety net for the employees and workers. The entire proceeds from disinvestments/privatisation would be deployed in social sectors and retirement of public debt. The public sector has overgrown itself and their shortcomings have manifested in the shape of Iow capacity utilization and Iow efficiency due to over manning and poor work ethics, over capitalisation due to substantial time and cost overruns, inability to innovate, take quick and timely decisions, large interference in decision making process etc.

Because of the current revenue expenditure on items such as interest payments, wages and salaries of Government employees and subsidies, the Government is left with hardly any surplus for capital expenditure on social and physical infrastructure. While the Government would like to spend on basic education, primary health and family welfare, large amount of resources are blocked in several PSUs. Not only this - the continued existence of the PSUs is forcing the Government to commit further resources for the sustenance of many non-viable PSUs. The Government continues to expose the taxpayers’ money to risk, which it can readily avoid. To top it all, there is a huge amount of debt overhang, which needs to be serviced and reduced before money is available to invest in infrastructure. All this makes disinvestment of the Government stake in the PSUs absolutely imperative.

4.The criteria for disinvestment/privatization

Government would disinvest/Privatize public sector undertakings which are making losses for last three years.

Government would disinvest/Privatize public sector undertakings which have not paid dividends to the Government of Sikkim for last three years.

Government would disinvest/Privatize public sector undertakings from which the return on investments is less than the prime-lending rate of the Nationalized Banks.

For the existing employees of the Public Sector Undertakings, Job security/ opportunities for retraining and redeployment will be assured. Interests of workers will be fully protected through attractive VRS and other measures.

5. Procedure

The procedure to be followed by Government of Sikkim for disinvestment/privatization seeks to promote administrative simplicity and speed of decision-making without compromising on transparency and fair play. The process will be as follows--

Proposals for disinvestment/privatization in any PSU, based on the recommendations of the Administrative Department will be placed for consideration of the State Govt. through the Minister in charge of the concerned PSU.

After the State Govt. clears the disinvestment proposal, the valuation of the current assets of the PSU will be done by the concerned technical departments of Government of Sikkim. The value of the current assets so calculated will serve as the floor/ reserve price for the purpose of bidding.

Bidders will be invited through advertisement in newspapers/website to submit their Expression of Interest (EOI) in the first stage. After the receipt of the Expression of Interest (EOI), in pursuance of Advertisement in newspapers / website, a list of bidders will be prepared.

The qualified interested parties/bidders will undertake due diligence of the PSU and hold discussions with the Administrative Department/the representatives of the PSU for any clarifications.

Now the bidders will be asked to submit their financial offers. Based on the highest offer received from the prospective bidders, the Sale Agreement/Lease Agreement will be finalised by the Administrative Department. After getting the Sale Agreement/Lease Agreement vetted by the Department of Law, the Sale Agreement will be approved by the Government.

After the transaction is completed, copies of all papers and documents relating to it will be sent to Finance Department of the state for reference and record.

6.BIDDING PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED FOR DISINVESTMENT OF PSUs

* Bidders will be asked to submit their Expression of Interest in a sealed envelope-on a specified date, time and venue along with the following documents.

1. Solvency certificate from a Bank. 2. Board Authorisations in case of a company 3. Other documents, if necessary, on a case to case basis

* Bidders will be asked to submit their financial offer in a sealed envelope on a specified date, time and venue along with the following documents when Secretary of the Administrative Department will receive the bids.

* A committee of Secretary, Additional Secretary and Deputy Secretary of the Administrative Department will prepare a comparative statement of the financial offers received.

* The comparative statement will be put up to the Minister in Charge of the Administrative Department for final decision.

7.QUALlFICATION FOR BIDDERS

Introduction

7.1 In a disinvestment sale, apart from Government’s interest in receiving a good return or price for its companies, the Government is also concerned that the company, which is taken over, should function well after disinvestment. The buyer should be able to bring in more capital and improved technology, wherever needed, introduce better management practices and should be in a position to take proper care of the work force. In short, the buyer/partner is expected to have a good track record of performance so that the Government can be satisfied that its assets are being passed on to capable hands.

7.2 In order to achieve this objective, it is important that the Government evolves a selection procedure that ensures that only those entities get selected as strategic partners who possess:

The requisite managerial and financial strength.

A proven track record of following good corporate practices.

A good reputation as regards integrity.

7.3 While any company, domestic or foreign, in private or public sector, can take part in a strategic sale process, depending on the unique features of a case, and taking into consideration all relevant factors including monopoly issues, Government can always impose reasonable restrictions, in specific cases, in public interest.

7.4 The bidders are selected through a competitive bidding process but, for Government companies to pass into private hands, there are some critical areas which government has to ensure that the bidder is capable of complying with. These critical areas are: -

Financial capabilities of the bidder

Technical and Legal capacity of the bidder

FDI restrictions

Integrity of the bidder

Security considerations

7.5 The qualification/eligibility criteria for the bidders arise at two stages of the bidding process:

* At the time of submission of Expression of Interest (Eol).

* At the time of submission of the financial bid which comes much later and at the end of the process.

Financial Capacity

7.6.1 Since the bidder has to buy the PSU involving a substantial financial outlay, it has to be ensured that, companies which are financially sound and capable vis-a-vis the size and business of the PSUs being disinvested/privatized, are only allowed to bid. Therefore, while issuing an advertisement in the newspaper and website for inviting bidders to take part in the disinvestment process through submission of EOI (financial bids come much later at the end of the process) the qualifying minimum net worth criteria and/or minimum turnover required of the bidding company is specified. This gives a fair idea of the size and financial strength of the bidding company. Besides, relevant financial and performance details are also sought for. At this stage, those of the bidders who satisfy these criteria, get shortlisted and get on to the next stage.

7.6.2 At the stage of submission of the financial bids, the prospective bidders are required to

furnish a bank guarantee which is retained only in the case of the highest bidder. This is

meant to bind him to fulfill his commitments till the successful closing of the transaction.

7.8 Before accepting the financial bid of any party, a certificate is required either from the

banker or from an independent Chartered Accountant that the bidder has got enough

funds to complete the transaction.

7.9 These prerequisites are also a deterrent to bidders who may be having unhealthy balance sheets. The bank guarantee is a further proof of their financial standing and reputation in the financial world.

Technical and Legal capacity

7.10 Every company must provide along with the EOI a representation, duly executed by its authorized official/ representative that it has the requisite corporate authorization to submit the EOI and that all information provided in the EOI is complete and accurate in all material respects to the best of their knowledge. If, at a subsequent date, it is discovered that the company or any consortium member did 7.2 In order to achieve this objective, it is important that the Government evolves a selection procedure that ensures that only those entities get selected as strategic partners who possess:

The requisite managerial and financial strength.

A proven track record of following good corporate practices.

A good reputation as regards integrity.

Financial capabilities of the bidder

* At the time of submission of Expression of Interest (Eol).

* At the time of submission of the financial bid which comes much later and at the end of the process.

Financial Capacity

7.6.2 At the stage of submission of the financial bids, the prospective bidders are required to

furnish a bank guarantee which is retained only in the case of the highest bidder. This is

meant to bind him to fulfill his commitments till the successful closing of the transaction.

7.8 Before accepting the financial bid of any party, a certificate is required either from the

banker or from an independent Chartered Accountant that the bidder has got enough

funds to complete the transaction.

Technical and Legal capacity

7.10 Every company must provide along with the EOI a representation, duly executed by its authorized official/ representative that it has the requisite corporate authorization to submit the EOI and that all information provided in the EOI is complete and accurate in all material respects to the best of their knowledge. If, at a subsequent date, it is discovered that the company or any consortium member did not either possess the requisite authorization or that any part of the information provided in the EOI was not complete or accurate in any material respect, the Government reserves the right to disqualify such company or consortium or member of the consortium from the process.

7.11 To access the technical capabilities of the prospective bidder, the Government may ask them to provide a business plan so that the Government is assured of continued services to the satisfaction of the user. In certain cases, Government may even require the bidders to satisfy a criteria of minimum experience in a particular business/sector, say manufacturing.

7.12 The bidder is required to submit enough information in the EOI for Government to assess the bidding entity’s managerial, financial and technical capability. Typically, the EOI would contain the following details:

(i) Executive Summary: This provides a brief description of the bidding company and (where appropriate) of each member in the consortium, containing details like ownership structure, write up on business history and growth, business areas / activities, respective revenue details, etc. It includes a brief commentary on the capability of the company/ consortium, as demonstrated, inter alia, in its past track record, to run its own business.

(ii) The Applicant: The full name, address, telephone and facsimile numbers, e-mail address of the company or of each member of the consortium and the names and the titles of the persons who are the principal points of contact.

(iii) Basic Information: This contains the details of the place of incorporation, registered office, current directors, key management personnel and principal shareholders of the company/companies in the consortium. It also contains a copy of its current Memorandum and Articles of Association and copies of audited accounts for the last three years of the company / companies in the consortium. (The latter details help in evaluating financial capabilities as well).

(iv) Management Organization: An overview of the applicant’s senior management and organization structure and in the case of a consortium, that of each member; summaries of the roles and responsibilities of the directors, key management personnel of the applicant and, in case of a consortium, those of each member.

(v) International Operations / Joint Ventures / Alliances: Brief write up of the company’s or, in the case of a consortium, of the members, of their international operations, joint ventures / alliances (whether international or domestic), nature and size of such operations, equity ownership, if applicable, copies of the audited accounts for the last one year of such companies.

(vi) Professional Advisors: The names and addresses of those companies and the professional firms, if any, who are (or will be) advising the applicant/consortium, together with the names of the principal individual advisors at those companies and firms.

(vii) Outstandinq Litigation: Each company, and each member of a consortium must provide with the EOI a statement of pending litigation.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Restrictions

7.13 In case of foreign bidders, the prospective buyer has to comply with the sectoral Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) caps determined by Government of India and revised from time to time. In some cases of disinvestment, the FDI restrictions on the bidder are more onerous than the sectoral restrictions.

Security Considerations

7.14 PSUs, the companies were wholly or substantially owned by the Government and were operated and managed by the Board of the company under the administrative control of the Administrative Department concerned. In this arrangement, security consideration, if any, were taken care of. At the time of transfer of these companies to private players, the Government has to ensure that the security of the state/country is not jeopardized through use / abuse of these companies.

7.15 Further, the companies which have been charge-sheeted or convicted on matters relating to “national security or integrity” under the provision of the Indian Penal Code or Official Secrets Act or other relevant legislation, are disqualified from the bidding process.

Confidentiality Undertaking

7.16 On being found suitable after submitting the EOI, the Qualified Interested Parties are required to enter into a Confidentiality Undertaking with the Government. Only then are they allowed to participate in the disinvestment process.

7.17 Typically, this undertaking requires that the potential bidders do not misuse this wealth of information. It is not uncommon for competitors to send a bogus team to discover the trade secrets of the other parties. The undertaking is made by the bidder in favour of Governor of Sikkim (acting through Deputy Secretary of the administrative department), the company treat all the confidential information in confidence and not to disclose to any person, the fact that he has been provided the ‘Confidential Information’ or has inspected any confidential documents or the discussion/negotiation regarding the transaction.

7.18 ‘Confidential Information’ means all information, concerning the business, operations, prospects, finances, or other affairs of the company.
