com www. hsl. nic. in E-mail : 1 CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS Dear Shareholders, I have great pleasure in welcoming you to this 58th Annual General Meeting of your Company and share with you some of the significant achievements of the Company during the year under review.

During the year, the administrative control of Hindustan Shipyard Limited was transferred from the Ministry of Shipping to the Ministry of Defence on 22nd February,2010 through a Presidential Order for requirements of Defence. The Directors’ Report and the Audited Statement of Accounts for the year 2009-10 and the Notice to the Shareholders have already been circulated and with your permission, I take them as read. HSL is one of the largest Defence Shipyard in the country, and it has 68 years of glorious history in ship building and repairs.

HSL has built 163 Vessels including 11 Plotforms ships and repaired around 2000 vessels for various clients. HSL has thus achieved many significant mile stones and earned a name for itself as a ship builder of repute both within India and abroad. The highlights of the year 2009-10 are as follows : a) In keeping with its image as a premier shipyard, HSL has shown consistent growth in almost all aspects of its activities. More importantly, the company has been able to achieve progressive growth for the last five years pending implementation of the revival plan.

The year 2009-10 has also been a special one for the company in many ways. The Company achieved the highest ever income of Rs. 662. 03 Crores in its history despite restrictions imposed on taking fresh orders since last two years. The Ship Repair Income of Rs. 266. 04 Crores was also the highest ever. The Company recorded a profit after tax of Rs. 2. 32 Crores for the year 2009-10 as against the loss of Rs. 140. 01 Crores in previous year. Details of the Keels laid, ships launched, handed over, productivity improvement measures 3 ) and income generated are given in the Directors’ Report. c) Some of the major achievements during the year are as follows :
• •
• •
• • Three ships were delivered including the last 30,000 DWT Bulk carrier. First largest 53,000 DWT Bulk Carrier was floated from Building Dock. Keel was laid for four new vessels. Launching of the first and second Inshore Patrol Vessels from slip way. New infrastructure set up for pipe manufacturing & testing. Progress of ONGC rig repairs contract of approx Rs. 00 Crores has been remarkable and most of the works were completed in given time frame of one year. The ship building order book position is lean and new orders for small crafts as well as high value orders for capital ships are expected from the Navy and Coast Guard. The order book is likely to grow exponentially over next five years with construction of Warships and Submarines. Recently Ministry of Defence has placed an order on HSL on 27th August,2010 for construction of 3 Numbers 50 Ton Bollard Pull Tugs.

Your Company is thus creating value addition by not only achieving path breaking achievements in shipbuilding & Ship repairs but also developing indigenous repair capabilities of Naval Submarines and Offshore Rigs in the Country. I am happy to report that due to these efforts, the overall production of this yard has improved from 63772 DWT in the year 2008-09 to 67572 DWT in 2009-10 with a capacity utilization of 89%. On approval of the financial restructuring, the yard will be able to make good profits in the coming years.

These all round improvements in the performance of the company were made possible by team work, dedication, sacrifice and hard work put in by all our employees. Industrial Relations during the year continued to be peaceful and harmonious. Grading vide Memorandum of Understanding The performance of the Company for the year, as per the internal Assessment, is expected to be adjudged as “Very Good” in terms of the MoU signed with the Government of India. Corporate Governance It is the constant endeavour of the company to dopt and maintain the highest standards of ethics in all spheres of business activities. The Company’s philosophy of Corporate Governance is based on the principles of honesty, integrity, accountability, adequate disclosures and legal compliances. It strives for transparency in decision making. The company adheres to good corporate practices and is constantly striving to adopt the best practices. Ministry of Defence has approved additional post of Director(Corporate Planning) and Director(Strategic Projects) for meeting the new business goals & requirement of the Company.

The Company is also making all efforts to enhance transparency through use of IT systems, ERP, e-tendering and e-procurement. 4 Future Out look Your Company is fully committed to build quality ships for the Indian Navy and Coast Guard. Consequent to transfer of Administrative control of HSL from Ministry of Shipping to Ministry of Defence, the Company is endeavoring to obtain orders from Naval and Coast Guard Ships for large capacity utilization. The Company is also planning to upgrade its infrastructure through major modernization programme for concurrent construction of ships & submarines.

The company plans to enhance its design capability by modernizing its Design office with additional Tribon Licenses and augment the manpower strength for detailed design of Submarines and Warships. Yard Modernization The yard needs immediate upgradation to increase its production capacity in order to cater for the defence requirements. The yard infrastructure also needs to be upgraded for construction of submarines. The modernization programme is being taken up on high priority. Skill Development The Yard is planning to induct young workforce to take care of large attrition due to retirements.

The Skill Development through training is one of the high priority areas to hone the skills required for construction of complex warships and Submarines HSL has travelled a long way in these years and I have no doubt that this yard will continue to make significant contribution to the ship building industry and the National security at large in the days to come.

Item No. 3 Clause 2 of the Memorandum of Association of the Company provides that the Registered Office of the Company will be situated in the State of Delhi within the jurisdiction of the Registrar of Companies at Delhi. Hindustan Shipyard Limited (HSL) is a Central Public Sector Undertaking wholly owned by the Government of India (GoI).

Though at present the Registered Office of the Company is situated in the State of Delhi at rented premises, the company’s Administrative and work offices are in Andhra Pradesh and all business activities are based in the State of Andhra Pradesh. If the Registered Office is located in Andhra Pradesh it will be convenient, efficient and also economical to manage the operations of the Company. The shifting of Registered Office to Andhra Pradesh will enable the Company to have better and effective control over the working of its Registered Office. It will also enable better coordination and integration of the Company’s activities, which in turn shall result in more efficient and economical working of the company. HSL Factory & Administrative Office is located at Vishakhapatnam in the State of Andhra Pradesh.

For Administrative convenience and in order to carry on its business more economically, conveniently, efficiently, effectively and advantageously, it is deemed expedient in the overall interest of the company to shift the Registered Office of the Company from the State of Delhi to the State of Andhra Pradesh. The Directors are of the opinion that shifting of Registered Office would ensure better cost and operational control. Therefore the Directors, consider that the Memorandum of Association of the Company would be altered so as to change the place of its Registered Office from its present situation at 209 & 209A, Vikram Tower, 16 Rajendra Place, New Delhi in the State of Delhi to Hindustan Shipyard Limited, Gandhigram P. O. , Visakhapatnam -530 005, in the State of Andhra Pradesh.

The Articles of Association of the Company have been amended from time to time to incorporate/delete some of the Articles since their adoption. Your Board of Directors considers that instead of amending the existing articles substantially which would have been a very cumbersome affair, it will be proper and convenient to adopt the New set of Articles of Association in substitution of the existing articles of Association of the Company. Hence a new set of Articles of Association of the Company have been prepared in conformity with the companies Act,1956 and in line with similar corporate entities in Ship building & Shiprepair under administrative control of the Ministry of Defence.
