1.
INTRODUCTION
An organizational study encompasses the study of organizations from
multiple viewpoints, methods and levels of analysis. The study has been carried out in
a production industry named Travancore Titanium Product Limited, Trivandrum
(TTPL). TTPL is a public limited company under the State Public Sector with
Government of Kerala owning 80.94% of the shares. Kerala State Industrial
Development Corporation (KSIDC) holds 7.91% and the balance held by the public.
In this industry there are approximately 720 Employees and 110 officers, all work
with the view of improving efficiency, profitability, and competitiveness and maintain
market leadership. The workers age limit is 58 and officers age limit is 60.TTP has
proposals to expand its capacity to 27000 tons per year, modernize and diversify in
stages to produce both Anatase and Rutile Grades of Titanium Dioxide pigment and
the new plants to this connection will be launched during the current year.
Travancore Titanium Products Ltd. was incorporated on 18th December 1946, to
produce pigment grade Titanium Dioxide from ilmenite, which is abundantly
available as placer deposits on beaches near Kollam, in the coastal state of Kerala,
India. The unit was promoted by the princely state of Travancore in collaboration with
the British Titan Products (BTP) Company Limited; U.K (now known as Tioxide
Group limited). The administrative control of the company was with a managing
agency, Indian Titan Products Company.
The company which started production at a modest rate of 5 tons per day increased its
capacity in stages to the present level of 40-45 tons per day. Till recently, Travancore
Titanium Products Ltd. was the only unit producing Anatase grade Titanium Dioxide
pigment, in India.
It is a matter of pride that the manufacture of a rare chemical like Titanium Dioxide
which was confined to highly industrialized nations of the west, was taken up herein
Trivandrum five decades. TTP was the only unit producing this white pigment, not
only in India, but also in the whole of South-East Asia.
The plant has the capacity to produce both Anatase and Rutile grades of Titanium
Dioxide. The plant functions round the clock in 4 shifts.

2. INDUSTRY PROFILE
Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) is an organic solid with a number of excellent
physical properties, which make it the principal white pigment of commerce. TiO₂ is
becoming increasingly dominant over rival white pigments such as white lead,
lithopone and zinc white. Its predominance is mainly attributable to three important
physical characteristics, which are a high refractive index, lack of colour and chemical
inertness.
TiO₂ found in nature is invariably coloured due to the presence of impurities

such as iron and other elements. Processing is necessary to produce pure TiO₂.Large
crystals of pure TiO₂ are transparent, but when finely ground to optimal particle size
they are highly opaque. TiO₂ pigments are distinct from coloured pigments because
the latter is characterized by selective light absorption in the visible spectrum.
TiO₂ also exhibits great chemical inertness. It has good heat resistance, with a
melting point of around 1840 °C. TiO₂ is also non-toxic, which has seen it displace
white lead in paints.
TiO₂ is polymorphous, showing three distinct crystalline forms:- rutile,

anatase, brookite. Only rutile and anatase are of importance technically and
commercially. These two modifications of TiO₂ differ in their basic structures and
some physical properties:
1. The refractive index of anatase is slightly less than rutile.

2. Rutile crustal structure modification exhibits greater stability than the anatase
form.
3. Anatase is less abrasive than rutile.
4. Rutile pigments impart greater durability than anatase.
2.1 TiO₂ pigment industry: Product demand

The white pigment Titanium Dioxide accounted for almost two-thirds of
overall production capacity, translating to 3.17 million tons per annum. Furthermore,
TiO₂ also dominates the world market for white pigments, with a 75% share. Its
predominance is mainly due to a combination of excellent physicalproperties, in
particular, a high refractive index, lack of colour and chemical inertness. White
pigment such as white lead, lithopone, zinc sulphide, etc are to a greater extent, being
replaced by TiO₂.
The main industrial consumers of TiO₂ are paints and coatings, plastics and
paper, inks, ceramics, cosmetics, fibres, etc.
2.2 TiO₂ Demand and the World Economy

The onset of global recession in 1989 saw GDP plummets, resulting in
excessive TiO₂ production capacity relative to demand. This left manufacturers with
not only an over-capacity problem but also a product of reduced value. For example,
between 1989 and 1991 the decline in TiO₂ coupled with over optimistic capacity
increases, led to price falls in the US and Germany of 13% and 16% respectively.
Another good indicator of performance of the TiO₂ industry is the „Operating

rate‟. The Operating rate is defined as the percentage of production capacity in use at
any given time. Throughout the 1980‟s, which was seen as golden era by the TiO₂
industry, the world operating rate fluctuated between a healthy 92-97%.However,
with the onset of recession this dropped to a low of 85% in 1991 and more recently
83.5% in 1996.The 1996 rate was attributed to factors such as customer destocking, a
drop in demand for paper and increased competition between manufacturers. These
factors affected a sudden slump in TiO₂ price and ultimately curbed the operating rate.
Industry was evident with the chairman of SCM, one of the leading TiO₂
manufacturer, describing the 1996-operating rate as „devastatingly low‟. The
operating rate usually declines through scaling down or even temporary closure of
plants.
A host of other small manufacturers includes Kemira with production capacity
2,90,000 tons, Ishihara with 1,97,000 tons, Kerr McGee with 1,73,000 tonnes, Bayer
with 1,47,000 tons etc combined accounted for 1,796,000 tonnes representing 43% of
world capacity.

3. COMPANY PROFILE
Travancore Titanium Products Limited, an ISO 9001:2000 company is a
Public Sector Undertaking under the administrative control of Government of Kerala,
India engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of different grades of Titanium
dioxide pigments. It is situated at Kochuveli, Thiruvananthapuram in the State of
Kerala. It is established for the commercial exploitation of valuable natural resource
called illmenite. This material sand deposit stretches along the sea coast between two
tidal channels between Neendakara in the South and Kayamkulam in the North.
Titanium dioxide can be very economically processed out from this raw material,
illmenite. Travancore Titanium Products is the largest manufacturers and suppliers of
Titanium dioxide (Anatase grade) pigment in India with ISO 9001:2000 certification.
Titanium dioxide is an industrial raw material for textiles, cosmetics, paper, paint,
PVC and plastics, rubber, ink, electronic industries, chemicals, ceramics etc. The
process followed by Travancore Titanium Products Ltd for the production of
Titanium is Sulphate process using Sulphuric acid. In this process finely grind
illmenite is digested with strong sulphuric acid whereby titanium sulphate is produced
which is converted into TiO2 by hydrolysis. The main product of the company is
Anatase grade Titanium dioxide.
3.1 History of the company

Travancore Titanium Products Limited (TTP) is a Public Sector Undertaking
managed by Government of Kerala. It is the first Titanium dioxide manufacturing
company in India. This company was incorporated on 18th December 1946 with
capital Rs.1.7 crores to produce Titanium dioxide from illmenite. The proposal to start
a plant producing Titanium dioxide was first put forward by the then diwan of
Travancore Sir C. P. Ramaswamy Iyer. The illmenite for the production of TiO2 is
found on the beaches at Chavara near Kollam and 65 kms north of the Capital city,
Thiruvananthapuram. The unit was promoted by the then princely state of Travancore
in collaboration with the British Titan Products (BPT) Company Limited; UK (now
known as Tioxide Group Limited).The administrative control of the company was
with a managing agency, Indian Titan Products Company. The company started
production at a modest rate of 5 tons per day, increased its capacity in stages to the
present level of 40-45 tons per day. The company started production in 1951.In 1960,
Government of Kerala undertook the management of Travancore Titanium Products
Ltd owing 80.94% of the shares. Then its production capacity was increased to 10
tons per day. A Sulphuric acid plant was also installed in the same year. In 1963, the
capacity of Titanium dioxide produced was further increased to 18 tons per day with a
commensurate addition to the sulphuric acid production also. A major expansion was
undertaken and completed with Rs.140 crores in 1973, when the production capacity
of Titanium dioxide plant was increased to 45 tons per day (15000 tons per annum). A
third acid plant started production with a capacity of 300 tons per day in the same
year. A new pollution controlled Sulphuric acid plant was established and started
production in 1996 which utilizes the tail gas recycling DCDA (Double Catalysis
Double Absorption) technology. The alkali scrubbing system incorporated there in
helps to keep sulphur dioxide emissions well within permissible limits and helps in

maintaining a clean environment. The Company started its first expansion programme
in 1957 for doubling the annual production was commissioned on 29th March 1996

4.1.2 Manufacturing process of Titanium Dioxide
TTP‟s production process is aimed at the separation of Titanium dioxide from
illmenite through SULPHATE PROCESS.
Ilmenite, a mixed oxide of titanium, ferrous iron, ferric iron is grounded in ball mills
to fine powder and reacted with sulphuric acid in specially designed digestors.
Digestors are reinforced concrete tanks lined with lead and acid resistant bricks. The
heat of dilution of the acid initiates highly exothermic reaction and a porous cake is
obtained as product. This is dissolved in dilute sulphuric acid and the titanium goes
into solution as titanium oxysulphate. The solution then goes through a reduction
phase using scrap iron, when the ferric iron gets completely reduced into the ferrous
state. The reduced crude liquor is closed with settling agents and sent through large
settling tanks to remove the sludge consisting mainly of unreacted ilmenite and silica.
The clear overflow from the settler is concentrated to a specified extent in order to
increase TiO₂ content from 150 gpl to 200 gpl and then charged into precipitation
tanks. On boiling by injecting steam, the titanium content gets precipitated as
hydrated titanium.
It is filtered over drum type rotary vacuum filters to increase TiO₂ content in pulp.
Any ferric iron still present is reduced to washable ferrous form by leaching the pulp
with diluted sulphuric acid and aluminium powder. It is washed further and then
treated with small quantities of potassium sulphate solution and mono ammonium
phosphate to develop the pigmentary properties. The treated pulp is dewatered to 40%
solids and the dewatered pulp is sent to calcinations unit through screw conveyers and
this pulp is dried completely in the calciner. Then the hydrated titanium dioxide is
decomposed to titanium dioxide and sulphuric acid decomposes and crystalline
properties get fully developed. The hot product from the calciner discharge is fed into
the cooler. The cooled is discharged to the screw conveyer and then the belt conveyer
and the product in the pellet form is conveyed to the pulverizer. Then using pendulum
mills, the granular product is pulverized to very fine particles of average size of 0.35
microns and packed in 25 kg HDPE bags and kept for dispatch. The product is
classified as Rayon Grade (RG), ISI Grade, General Purpose Grade (GP) according to
the quality.

Significant Accounting Policies

Every organization has its own accounting policies. TTP has also has its own
accounting policies. They are as follows:
1. Fixed Assets
Fixed Assets are started at cost of acquisition or construction less depreciation. All
costs relating to the acquisition and installation of fixed assets are capitalized. Assets
and liability are consistently being recorded at historical costs to the company and
therefore they are not adjusted to reflect the change in value in the purchasing power
of money.
2. Investment
All investment is valued at cost.
3. Inventories
 Raw materials, materials in process and stores and spares are valued at the
cost on weighted average method.

 Finished goods – Titanium dioxide is valued at cost or net realizable value
whichever is lower. Excise duty which is payable at the time of removal of
goods is not included in the valuation of finished goods.
 Goods in transit are valued at cost.
4. Sales
Sales are exclusive for excise duty and sales tax.
5. Depreciation
Depreciation on fixed assets has been provided as per the rates prescribed in
schedules XIV of the company‟s Act of 1956. Under written down value method
depreciation on additions and deletions of fixed assets is calculated.
6. Retirement Benefits
Gratuity liability is provided based on the company rules prevailing from time to time.
The gratuity fund created to the company has been approved by the income tax
authorities. The net asset enables the fund to fully discharge the company‟s obligation
in respect of gratuity, payment to the employees etc. The liability to pay leave
encashment accrues only when the employees can encash unveiled leave during their
period of service till the employee exercise his rights. Hence it is not quantifiable and
is accounted on cash basis.
7. Scraps
Accounting of scrap is done at the time of sale.
8. Salary
The employees get their salary/wages on the last, but one day before of each
month. Salary/wages is given on monthly basis. It is paid through bank/cash. Before
the payment of salary every employee will receive his pay slip.
9. Allowance
Some allowances are paid to the employees to compensate without changing
the basic pay structure. DA is paid to cover the increased cost of living. When
housing accommodation is not provided, house rent allowance on suitable BP
structure will be paid. In TTP there are different pattern of DA and HRA. They are

5.3 PORTER’S FIVE FORCE MODEL

Michael .E. Porter‟s five force model is used as the framework for analysis. The
five competitive forces-entries, threat of substitution, bargaining power of buyers,
bargaining power of suppliers and rivalry among current competition-reflects the fact
that competition in an industry goes well beyond the established players. Customer,
Suppliers, Substitutes and potential entrants are all competitors to firms in the
industry and may be more or less prominent depending on the particular
circumstances.

Fig:.5.3 Porter’s Five Force Model
5.3.1 RIVALRY
The incumbent‟s share in the total Indian TIO₂ market has drastically came
down from a position of monopolist. An industry with growth rate assumed to be 7 %
(based on GDP) is meaningful provided the demand/supply position is controlled by
indigenous players. But with liberalization, import duty cut made it cheaper to import
customized quality products. Of the four players in the industry, two large producers
are in the public sector and the other two are in the private sector. Indian import of
ANATASE grade TIO₂ during 96-97 is of the tune1881.897 tonns for a value of
Rs13.6 crores.
5.3.2 THREAT OF NEW ENTRY
TiO₂ industry is capital intensive in nature. For justification a price of

Rs100000/tonne is required as return on investment. The process technology to
produce ANATASE grade TiO₂ (sulphate route) is not tightly controlled as that of
RUTILE grade TiO₂ (chloride route). An interesting feature of the domestic TiO₂
industry scenario is that a number of green field manufacturing plants have been
advertised but have not made headway beyond the conceptualization stage.
5.3.3 SUBSTITUTION

TiO₂ introduced as a substitute to zinc oxide and lithopone in the early
twenties, was in the ANATASE form, sooner TiO₂ in the rutile form was
manufactured using sulphate route. Later chloride process was introduced to
manufacture rutile. Now in essence 80% of rutile TiO₂ is an ideal substitution for
100% ANATASE TiO₂. Substitution of TiO₂ can be made by using Kaolin, calcium
carbonate, silica and calcinated clay.
5.3.4 BUYERS
Developments in the paint industry are moving at a great pace. It is

particularly important for paint manufacturers to have access to TiO₂ pigments with
the highest standards of performance and quality as well as to well qualified and
knowledgeable pigment specialist to assist them in their formulating work.
5.3.5 SUPPLIERS
With more technological advancements in the feed stock scenario, suppliers

are providing wide range of feed stocks. In the global feed stock scenario 56%of
titaniferous feed stocks represent upgraded products. This is because of awareness of
their technical/commercial needs. Feed stock producer would probably not be
successful TiO₂ pigment manufacturers because of the specialist technology require

6.1 FINDINGS
Findings in general:
 The company is providing a well conceived transport system and most of the
workers rate the conveyance facilities as good.
 There is a good follow up of the well defined rules and regulations.
 The employees express satisfaction over the functioning of the various
departments.
 The organization is blessed with highly skilled and experienced employees.
 Uniform for all workers except those in the administrative levels.
 As the company is a PSU, government sanction is needed for most of the
process and hence administrative delay is of great concern for the firm.
Production Department
 Only male workers are employed in the plant of Travancore Titanium Product
Limited.
 They are using an old technology for the production of anatase grade TiO₂.
Marketing Department
 Absence of promotional activities.

Finance Department
 Cost of production is high.

 As profit on 2007( Rs,38,51,09,463) is less than that on 2006 (Rs.
41,96,52,158 ), it is obvious that the financial performance of the company in
the year 2007 is not up-to the mark as compared to the previous year.
HR Department
 Trade union intervention is more.

 Lack of training for the workers (plant).
 They recruit people directly or through PSC.
Medical Department
 Doctors are on contract basis.

 They conduct medical camps as per the preference of the employees of the
organization.
 Periodical check up for employees are there in the medical department.
Legal Department
 Complaints from the local inhabitants, nearby the company

 Pollution is the main problem faced by the company.

Project Department
 Only selection process done in the project department.

 As the PSU, no special preference to the government companies for the
selection of tenders.
Engineering Department
 Lack of sufficient workers in the engineering department.

 Every year one month shut down the plant for the maintenance work.
Safety and Environment Department
 Only one manager employed in the safety and environment department.

 The workers are not using safety tools.
6.2 SUGGESTIONS
1. Technological Up gradation
TTP Ltd still follows the old technology that needs to be replaced immediately so that
new technology up gradation could give TTP a much better output.
2. Pollution Control
If proper steps are taken to treat the liquid waste and vapour emission from the
company, the company will become zero pollution company. TTP should undertake
more projects to control the pollution.
3. Method of production
Adopt new method of production that will minimize the cost of production
4. New project
The management of the company should take steps to continue the Effluent
Treatment Plant Project submitted by the project department
5. Development of new products
Because of the wide applications of titanium products, the company can
develop new products using the R & D facility.
6. Introduction of good Management Information System
TTP Ltd doesn‟t have a good management information system. If it is
introduced in the company, the company should achieve a better integration
between the departments in the organization.
7. Training programme
Provide more training programmes to all the workers and office staff
of the organisation in order to develop their skills, knowledge and their attitude
towards works etc. This will automatically increase the production.

6.3 CONCLUSION
Titanium dioxide being an essential ingredient in almost all products that use in
our day to day life. It has grown as an important product and has created an annual
sales turnover of about more than 1.6 billion to Travancore Titanium Product Ltd.
The study helps to arrive at a conclusion that the TTPL is having a well efficient and
well educated management which is one of the main secret of its success. It is
supported with a good HR team and which will ultimately take the TTPL to the higher
level in the near future.
The pollution caused by the TTPL will be removed by the upcoming project of
effluent treatment plant. Thus TTPL by overcoming all the existing limitations and
drawbacks, it will come forward and exploit the monopoly market of TiO 2.
