Traded in:Nse-bse
Story:Gokul Refoils is a leading player in the edible oils market in Gujarat and also has interests in castor oil and its derivatives, captive power generation and commodity trading. Proximity to the port and oilseed-growing regions give it a strategic advantage in the business of refining domestic or imported oil.The company operates in bulk, as well retail market, with retail constituting 37% of its sales. It claims to sell its products under its national brand ''Gokul'', predominantly in the northern and eastern states. It intends to increase the proportion of its retail sales, as margins in retail business are 3-4% higher than those in bulk sales.Around 15-20% of the revenues are contributed by trading activity, which has margins of 1-2%.The company currently has a seed-processing capacity of 680 tonnes per day (tpd),600tpd of solvent extraction, 1,200 tpd of refining and 200 tpd of vanaspati production. It has two wholly-owned subsidiaries in Mauritius and Singapore, which trade commodities on international commexes. The Singapore subsidiary is also involved in procuring raw materials and trading in oil and oilcakes.The company plans to increase its seed-processing capacity by more than three times from the current 680 tpd. In order to reduce its dependence on refined edible oil and consequently improve margins, Gokul Refoils is improving its product mix in favour of oilcake and solvent oil.It is also looking at undertaking backward integration in the refining unit at Gandhidham by setting up a solvent extraction plant. It plans to expand its distribution network by engaging more clearing and forwarding agents and increasing the visibility of its products.The company at present levels is fairly valued compared to established peers, leaving little value on the table for investors. The future gains for investors will entirely depend on the company''s financial performance in the coming quarters.A switch to other better oriented stock would be my call in it.
