hi hit,
in a recent interview in cnbc ramesh damani said he is very bullish on asbestos companies and he owned hydrebad industries,visaka industries and he bets more on everest industries.

I feel the whole sector as a whole probably is in for a re-rating. If they can manage good results for a couple of quarters, things can improve on valuation front.

Hello Hit,

I want to better understand this asbestos business.
Where is it exactly used?
Any idea where I can understand this sector better?

Also can we say that this business is a consumer driven business?

Also suppose if we want to do a basket buying in this sector ... top 4 companies. Which one do you think we should bet on? (in order of priority)

Thanks,
Dhruvesh

P.S: Hit its really amazing the way you digout these stocks. Is it again from the Edel screener

Hi dhruvesh,

The main consumers for asbestos sheets would be rural lower and middle income group people who cannot afford pukka houses. With benefits of buoyant economy percolating to the rural sector, it is likely to be the new sector that drives demand and hence the focus on this sector.

In order of preference, I would go for sahyadri, visaka and hyderabad inds. I own the first two. Sahyadri because for a small company it is available at great valuation of 5-6 PE and ROE of 34 to boast of. I am playing for the growth to continue and a rerating of the sector to around 7-8 PE.

Also, not to forget, falling cement prices can be a big boost to these companies, although thats an industry-wide phenomenon and not connected with any particular company.
 
I have just one company of them in my portfolio. And the reason I would just stick to Hyderabad Industries, is that they are into other products as well besides corrugated fibre cement sheets.

I understand that Asbestose is hazardous for health. Use of Asbestose is banned in Western countries. Many companies faced serious problems of survival in Western countries due to Asbestose related law suits.
 
Even though this might not be the case currently in India, how about possibility of ban on Asbestose? & then associated issues with these companies?

Absolutely right sir. Use of the same is banned in all MNC and many of private project undertakings.

I had read the director's report of both sahyadri and visaka and both mention the threat of anti asbestos lobby

"Availability of adequate power, exchange rate fluctuations, increase in input cost such as cost of power, transport, and raw material , inadequate
monsoon, additional entries, increasing capacities and the malafide campaign against Asbestos Products are the concern to the industry as a whole."

The above is from director's statement of sahyadri. Funnily, they describe the thread from malafide campaign.

I think these fears are reflected in the valuations of these companies. Just as mentioned above in tobacco stocks, fears till date have been ungrounded in India and tobacco companies continue to make merry with healthy cash flows. One has to consider risk reward and think about investing.

Kaun rokega???? Sugar causes obesity and causes diabetes and other lots of associated ailments, so shall we ban the use of sugar? Consuming alcohol is bad for society, has these countries named in the report imposed a ban on them???
 
Dont confuse ethics with business...and dont mix them up too much. Its the job of the Law to decide to when the business is breaching the accepted level, not us. Intervene when you can provide the alternative solution, otherwise you end up creating a bigger mess.
 
Now, surely we cannot afford to put the coming generation to risk...surely we cant. So, develop a road-map....like phasing out of gasoline guzzling vehicles and replacing them with those which follow high emission standards. Dont ban, but give a period for a phase-out during which you can implement your plan.
 
Understand the constraints.....You are talking about risk in tobacco companies.....read ITC's Annual Report. The health hazard is posed more by products of unorganised sector. Moreover, they dont pay excise duties and other levies. How to curb that menace....is the society ready for that kind of action?
 
Now think about who uses asbestor sheets, mainly the rural households. Can everyone migrate from mud-roofed/tiled roof house directly to a pucca house. No.....but wont they like to have a better protection than what the mud-roofed/tiled roof house offers...they would. Would he/she listen to this argument of asbestos being a cause of cancer and decide against using it.....he wont.
 
As an investor, I wont like my company to be producing something which puts the lives of people at risk....but then, why the heck shall I beleive anyone which comes out with a study showing the health hazards of asbestos sheet production. There are studies which can be shown to support the counter-argument.

Not always good to blame the West. We are also bad. Recently, radioactive material from Delhi University was sold as bhangaar. Adulteration of foods and making of fake medicine is also done by us only.

A lot of NGOs have taken up the business of raking in money by raising various causes. Maybe some have got hold of the asbestos sheet industry and trying to milk the issue. As Vivek pointed out unless and until a viable and economical alternative is available, we need to view the concerns with a pinch of salt.

Just look at pan masala. I personally have seen a lot of oral cancer patients and there is a direct proven link between consumption of pan masala and oral cancer. Still does it stop the people from consuming the product? And even bigger issue is does it make the govt ban the product? Govt is interested in collecting taxes from the producers rather than protecting lives of people consuming it. For asbestos, there is far less evidence of causing cancer than pan masala.

Basically I think this is a sector for a fixed amount of returns after which one needs to review the investment made, whether it makes sense to hold on or to move on to other greener pastures.

I agree with Hit(jee) and Vivekjee,

We all agree that there is a threat to asbestos industry. Now our task is to bet on the odds. The odd are high that it wont be banned in India for a few years atleast. (We have hardly seen things being banned in India. and that to things for the rural consumption)

If at all it is being banned a study would be ordered by the Indian government and before that there should be some signals of it in the local media .. I mean some propoganda by anti asbestos lobby.

So I think we move back to discussing companies and periodically update about this threat.

---
@Vivek and Hit: Recently in the newspapers I read that for the quarter rural consumption growth was higher than that of urban. This was more from the FMCG view.

But do you think that this can/is an indicator of higher demand for these companies?

Well, rural housing is both a challenge as well as an opportunity, depending upon how you look at it.
 
As far as this news is concerned, it should ideally be beneficial for fibre cement sheet consumption. A person's first aim would be a better house before he plunges big on FMCG items. But it surely depends upon how much money he has got. If the rise in income is marginal, then FMCG companies will be more beneficial....but if its substantial, then these manufacturers will make a hay.

As part of my professional work, I have been dealing since years with applications involving sour gases with high percentage of toxic substances like H2S in it. I am basically hard wired to think about safety and hazards involved and do the best for its containment & mitigation of risk.
 
It is difficult for me to separate my general approach towards work and life with that for investment. Many times I think that if those engineers & technicians working in Union Carbide's Bhopal plant would have taken stand against poor maintenance practises followed (instead of buckling under pressure and, adopting "chalta hai" type of approach), we would have prevented the worst industrial disaster.
 
Unless citizens are careful about hazards, no improvement will happen. It is good for shareholders if there is no ban on Asbestose in this country. However, if this is the approach, I am afraid we will end up being dump yard and manufacturer of all hazardous things in the world.
 
I am all for socially responsible living & that includes investment. I believe that if a bar is not acceptable to my next door then that would not be acceptable for me to anyone else's next door as well.
 
I understand the logic for investing in Asbestose companies, But for me, this goes beyond just an investment. It crosses path with my way of life.
 
Please note that I have nothing against anyone investing in these companies. I have just taken this opportunity to express my views. My apologies if anyone feels offended.

These companies are good for long term investment,
But if you see they do not have sustained earnings YOY basis. Compare last 5 years earnings.

They generally have average NP margin of around 5%, some of these companies are having NP margin around 9% in FY10 so they might have lower NP margin in FY11, who knows...

Also recent Management interview of Hyderabad Industries said they see 8 to 10% growth this year directly linked to the GDP growth.

Whereas, Everest Industries Management said they are seeing 30-40% growth this year due to their steel fabrication business.

What are the substitutes for asbestos??
Monkeyji very well said. Now let us invert the problem.
Given that asbestos is harmful for health but companies are attractively priced maybe some users may feel it is good buy.
Now I assume that Indian government is sensible so in 3-5 years we may have certain safeguards for asbestos just like for vehicle emissions and for cigarettes.
At such a time what product is the best substitute for asbestos, i.e. what is the replacement material being used in foreign countries for asbestos, and which are the attractively priced Indian companies for it .
While it may be a bit of twist to it, maybe it is a good idea to keep one eye on the horizon. I will google for it and update if I find anything interesting.
Note:-Just to add, a lot of companies even multinationals engage in what is politely called regulatory arbitrage.
For example Coke was fined many years ago for pssting ads on sensitive rocks in Himalayas, it is again getting fined for incorrectly using water in Palakkad Kerala.
So I assume that as India develops, these instances will become less hopefully and where not, there may be lots of Amrikan style lawsuits coming and we should be ready for them if we invest in such listed companies(there may be opportunities also).

I think at best these companies are trading buys and I expect them to return a fix percentage return after which I intend to book out. I dont see these as long term buys because of these very fears of some or other regulatory problems arising. Till then make hay while the sun shines.

Well said.....and there can be no arguments against what you have said.
 
But I am against going against any company because X or Y or Z comes up with a study showing that its products are harmful for human use/consumption. Its the task of the adjudicating authority to decide that, not ours. And surely we can be judgemental, but that judgement should have a scientific basis.
 
Tell me, wont it be cruel to deny people a basic shetler above their head in the name of a study that the use of asbestos sheet causes cancer in one among hundred or whatever.
 
And its wrong in my opinion to compare Chernobyl or Bhopal with what we are talking about here. No one is saying anything about adhering to process safety norms. Adhere to the best in the world, no one's complaining. No one is saying that Asbestos sheet manufacturing companies are producing stuff in such a reckless manner which will kill 25000 in their sleep in one night. We are not talking about disasters, but about perils. And perils have to be first proven, before setting the price for it.

Vivekji,

 

I take your point that hazard due to Asbestos is not comparable to what happened in Bhopal. However, there are many silent killers which are probably worst than Bhopal. One example is that of tobacco Gutka (Pan masala) explained by Hitji in one of his posts. At least Bhopal tragedy has drawn serious attention. However, there is no account of the problems caused by Pan masala.

 

Coming to Asbestos, I am not qualified to make a judgment. But I know for sure that my employer was almost driven to bankruptcy due to Asbestos related claims and I lost quite a few annual bonuses attributed to big write-offs company had taken for settling Asbestos claims. In the process, I understand that many options were explored, including that of challenging validity of whole claim that Asbestos is harmful for humans. But, it did not fly as I think it is proven beyond any doubts. That is the reason it has become banned substance in all developed countries. This type of ban does not happen just because of one study did by someone. Because, if that is the case, entire validity of conclusion will be challenged by parties affected adversely due to that. Even if we give benefit of doubt, my preference will be not to take chances. I would be wary of using Asbestos in my home even if I give it benefit of doubt.

 

About denying Asbestos roof to poor people in need, yes, this is tricky thing and I do not have any answer for this question. But, at least, there should be some attempts to make people aware of hazard and leave the decision to them till the time any other viable  & cost effective alternative is found. As they say, necessity is mother of invention and if we are serious enough, I am optimistic that solution would be found.

 

In any case, as far as investing goes, it is personal choice. I have nothing against anyone seeking to make money by investing in Asbestos companies.

Perfect....makes complete sense.
 
But I guess if someone 10 years back would have decided to shun ITC just because of what legal problems Altria and Philip Morris were facing in US, it would have been called a not-so-good a decision.
 
The government, in the interest of public health, should encourage a fair reserach conducted on this topic, done by some reputed and well recognised and trustworthy research Institute/lab/university/consumer body/health department. But till then, I guess we shouldnt castigate the asbestos sheet manufacturing companies.

There definitely are health hazards related to long term and excessive exposure to asbestos fiber inhalation. There are no studies available on the effects short term exposure to humans or animals. In India we are used to various hazards  in our daily life ,asbestos or others and we take it all in our stride. Our drinking water is spiked with  unspeakable chemicals, our water sources so polluted  only mosquito larva can grow , we bring  the  developed worlds junk to our shores to  do the so called recycling. Our cities have  pollution levels many times the safety levels, we disregard every law in mining   to manufacturing . Can asbestos be more harmful than the 7 million who defecate in  the open in  Bombay alone.

There is no doubt whatsoever about asbestos being hazardous materials. Tons of research, analysis, survey, court judgments and studies are available on net. One does not need to be rocket scientist to make out the problems. Just cut the sheet, inhale the dust and have your lung checked for the residue after a year.
Now, if there are regulatory norms and the usage is banned legally, one can not do anything about it even though he/she does not agree with the reasons supplied.

Choosing investments on based on morals in extremely individualistic.

Making timely short term profits on such industry is also individualistic on moral grounds and ability to understand the movements of stock.

But taking a long term value call in my opinion has to offer higher risk to reward ratio.

P.S. People were living in affordable housing before the introduction of asbestos roof sheets and other products and they will in future with cheap, more durable and less hazardous alternatives.

I agree with you..As with tobacco, you will find some studies that show that Asbestos Cement Sheets are safe. Even the EPA (US) has okayed its use.

However in India, unlike in the US, there is large scale cutting of the sheets which release asbestos. Further, during storage and transport when the sheets rub against each other, there is release of asbestos.

Near a storage yard in India, with constant movement of sheets in and out of trucks, children have been found to have severe lung and underdevelopment problems.

Dear Mr. Sainivas,

From what you have written about cement sheets, it implies that people who are actually working in those manufacturing companies are on a daily basis exposed to this harmful asbestos and so logically and scientifically, they should have health problems. Right?

Well, the reality seems to be totally different. I wud recommend that you visit at least one good cement sheet manufacturing co and do your own due diligence. Well i m not holding any cement sheet co shares. But just thot of sharing my view.

Best wishes,

JM

Most good AC Sheet manufacturing faciliites in India have totally isolated mixing of asbestos. ie the asbestos line is fully secured and the mixing etc is done automatically.

The key problems are in the field.

Asbestos is released while cutting sheets in the field.

Other income is from sale of property Rs.6.9 cr..
Some positives from the result:
Raw mat consumption as a % of sales has remained almost constant..all other expenses have, however, gone up, leading to a drop in operating margins.
Interest cost has halved vis-a-vis Q3FY09.
Their PEB business has shown profitability at the PBIT level for the first time.
By and large, i agree with Jose's estimate..

no doubt all of them look cheap but a few factors to consider:

1) asbestos is a environmental hazard and despite what they say about the type of asbestos which is carcinogenic, the process is a health hazard.

2) there is no technology inherent technology.

3) logistics costs are high and hence the farther that you go beyond a certain distance there is a need to set up another unit to manufacture.

cement is a key input and prices have been going up. the more a company gets into structured urban markets, the greater the capital investment and lower the margins.

asbestos is mostly imported and its availability is simply because canada etc have banned asbestos products.

for these reasons, i think this sector will never get a higher discounting.

Slow Poison’ Scars Indian Lungs as Asbestos Firms Sell $7 Roofs for Slums

May 30 (Bloomberg) -- Bloomberg's Paul Allen reports on the ill health effects of asbestos use in India. The lessons learned by nations which banned asbestos in factories decades ago have been slow to take hold in India, where demand for a sturdy material to make roofs for millions of slum-dwellers serving the world’s second fastest-growing economy has overpowered concerns about safety.

One thing Rajendra Pevekar remembers from falling asleep on his father’s chest as a child is the smell of burnt plastic and the shiny specks of dust sticking to his clothes.
What Pevekar didn’t know was that the dust had a name -- asbestos -- and a record of wrecking the lungs of those who inhale it. Only last year did he draw a connection between the fiber from the auto-parts factory where his father worked sweeping the floor, the man’s early death, the disease that left his mother crippled and his own shortness of breath.
“This is a slow poison,” Pevekar said in an interview at his home in Mumbai’s working class neighborhood of Ghatkopar. “It destroys your lungs and you don’t even know it.”
Pevekar’s mother was among the first Indians last December to get paid about 700,000 rupees ($16,000) -- more than 10 times her son’s annual income -- from a Manchester, England-based trust established by factory owner Turner & Newall Plc. The payment was compensation for asbestosis, an occupational disease first identified in the U.K. in 1906. Last month, another 40 workers received payouts, bringing the year’s tally to a record 70 million rupees.
The lessons learned by richer nations like the U.K. and Germany, which banned asbestos in factories decades ago, are slow to take hold in India, where demand for a sturdy material to make roofs for millions of slum-dwellers serving the world’s second fastest-growing major economy has overpowered concerns about worker safety.
Roofs Needed
India is the largest importer of asbestos, according to the United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics Database. Most of it goes into making corrugated roofing sheets that sell for as little as 300 rupees ($7). More than 100,000 people in India are employed by companies producing the material, according to the Asbestos Cement Producers Association, an industry lobby group.
“It is totally outrageous,” said Gopal Krishna, founder of the Ban Asbestos Network of India. “We’ve known that this stuff is deadly for many years and the government is not banning it. In fact, they are making asbestos artificially cheaper by giving incentives.”
A 15 percent duty is payable on asbestos imports, according to the Ministry of Commerce & Industry. The tariff, which stood at 78 percent in 1995, has been gradually cut over the past decade, Krishna said. Imports totaled 322,200 metric tons in 2009, UN data shows. Asbestos mining is allowed for permit holders, though the government stopped granting licenses in 1986.
Homes will be unaffordable for 38 million families in India by 2030 based on projected market prices, McKinsey & Co. estimated last year. The need for cheap roofing and piping material is fueling asbestos shipments from Russia, Brazil and Canada, where the use of the raw material is restricted in Canadian factories.
Pawned Jewelry
Pevekar’s troubles began when his 71-year-old mother, Indira, developed a debilitating shortness of breath in 2003, 11 years after her husband died from an ailment diagnosed as bronchial asthma. Indira has been hospitalized more than six times since then, recalls Pevekar, who ferries her to medical appointments at least once a month.
Bills began to mount.
“We pawned jewelry, borrowed from friends, relatives and money lenders to pay for all these expenses,” Pevekar said.
That held the family back, forcing him and his brother to stay in the same slum house where they grew up and continue to care for Indira, who is partially bedridden and can’t use the bathroom without help.
Pevekar said he came to understand the connection between his mother’s woes, his father’s death and his own pulmonary problems in February 2010, when he attended an event organized by a non-profit organization to inform workers and their children of what is called secondary exposure to asbestos.
Natural Fiber
“Before that, I had no idea,” he said. “At the event, I asked the organizers to check my mother for asbestosis.”
Indira and another worker’s wife were the first two women to receive compensation from Turner in India, according to Pralhad Malvadkar, head of the Occupational Health and Safety Centre, which organized the event Pevekar attended.
Asbestos is the name given to six natural fibers about 1,200 times smaller than a strand of human hair that can be woven like fabric. Their resistance to fire, heat and chemicals makes them well suited to the construction and auto industries.
The fibrous mineral has been used for the last 140 years in construction. Evidence of its harmful effects began appearing a century ago and national bans were first enacted in the 1970s.
Bruise Lungs
Harm occurs when the asbestos fibers are inhaled. They bruise the lung tissue, leaving behind scars that accumulate and cripple the organ’s ability to process oxygen, said Arthur Frank, a professor of public health at Drexel University in Philadelphia.
“If you think of the lung as a balloon that expands and contracts, it’s as if the capacity of the balloon is reduced,” Frank, who specializes in asbestos-related diseases, said in a telephone interview. Chest X-rays identify the scars with characteristic squiggle marks.
The fibers can also lead to the development of lung cancers, including a rare malignancy of the lining of the lungs and abdomen known as mesothelioma, which often causes stabbing chest pains and can be fatal within 18 months.
“Even a day or a month at an asbestos factory can do you in,” said Frank, adding that there is no safe minimum level of exposure. It can take 20 years or more for symptoms to appear, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s website.
Rockets and Millionaires
India has ranked behind China as the briskest-growing major economy for much of the past decade, sending rockets into space and giving rise to a class of entrepreneurs and billionaires. The speed of industrialization has outpaced improvements in infant survival, infrastructure and workplace conditions.
“It’s a difficult issue,” said David Heymann, chairman of the U.K. Health Protection Agency. “Some countries say: ‘We’re developing just like you did during the industrial revolution.’ The difference is that, now, we know what asbestos does.”
India’s use of the material since the 1980s is equal to the amount used by the U.K. during its entire industrial history, according to estimates by the International Ban Asbestos Secretariat, a London-based umbrella group of non-profit organizations.
As many as 55 countries including Japan and all members of the European Union have banned asbestos in factories, buildings and car parts. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency selectively bans the material in products such as spray-on paint and pipe insulation.
Mine in Quebec
Canada was India’s second-largest overseas supplier of asbestos in 2009, trailing Russia, according to the United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics database.
The Quebec government approved in April a C$58 million ($60 million) loan guarantee to a group of Canadian and Indian investors, enabling them to expand production at the Jeffrey Mine, said Jolyane Pronovost, a spokeswoman for Quebec’s economic development ministry. The assistance is conditional on the investor group securing C$25 million in additional financing by July 1, she said.
To secure the loan guarantee, the owners of the Jeffrey mine had to commit to annual checks by an independent auditor of their clients to ensure that the white, or chrysotile, form of asbestos is being used safely and meets Quebec standards, Pronovost said.
“Our position hasn’t changed,” she said in a May 31 telephone interview. “We support the safe use of chrysotile.”
Supply Stalwart
The decision, opposed by public health groups including the Canadian Cancer Society, may allow one of Canada’s last remaining asbestos mines to produce 250,000 metric tons annually, said one of the investors, Baljit Chadha, an India-born businessman who made his fortune trading nuts and dried fruit.
At that capacity, the mine would produce more than an eighth of global asbestos production, according to 2010 estimates from the U.S. Geological Survey. About 40 percent of the mineral may end up in India, and sales will generate $130 million in revenue, Chadha estimated.
“I’m going into this with an absolutely clear conscience,” said Chadha, who disputes the risks asbestos poses, citing an open letter from six European and North American doctors published last year which said the chrysotile that emerges from the mine isn’t dangerous for workers as long as it’s “properly controlled.”
All forms of asbestos are carcinogenic, according to the World Health Organization. The Geneva-based UN agency estimates that one person dies every 5 minutes from an asbestos-related disease somewhere in the world, causing 107,000 deaths annually.
Canada’s Natural Resources Ministry declined to comment on asbestos exports to India and deferred questions about the Jeffrey mine expansion to the Quebec provincial government.
Tainted Water
While living under an asbestos roof may be less harmful than working with it in a factory, the risk isn’t negligible, said Drexel University’s Frank. In the monsoon season, rainwater can seep through the roof, mixing with the fiber. Data on the dangers from drinking asbestos-tainted water isn’t conclusive, though some studies have found a small increase in deaths from cancers of the stomach and colon among people who ingested it, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Pevekar installed a plastic sheet under his roof last year after learning about the risks of asbestos, stopping tainted water from dripping onto his sleeping children like it had for years before.
Giant Mixing Vats
In India, government regulation about asbestos exposure is lax, said Jagdish Parikh, a retired deputy director of the National Institute of Occupational Health in the west Indian city of Ahmedabad. Factory owners often don’t ensure that pollutant levels are below regulatory limits and inspections are infrequent, he said.
While workers receive regular medical check-ups by a company-approved doctor, the reports aren’t routinely given to employees, who may not be informed that that they are suffering from an occupational disease, said Malvadkar at the Occupational Health and Safety Centre. The claim was repeated by more than 10 current and former laborers at asbestos factories in Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
At Everest Industries Ltd. (EVI)’s roof factory in the village of Lakhmapur, a four-hour drive from Mumbai, cement, asbestos, water and materials including discarded denim fiber are mixed in giant vats. The cavernous shop floor, large enough to accommodate two jumbo jets, has no visible exhaust system.
No Exhaust
“It is a well ventilated area as per the requirement,” said K.K. Rameshan, the plant’s general manager. “No exhaust system is needed here.”
About two dozen workers whose clothes carried traces of gray dust were seen operating machinery, cleaning, and handling raw materials and finished roof sheets during a factory tour last month. Only two of the workers were seen working with a face mask. One was assigned to the “asbestos room,” where 110- pound sacks from Russia and Kazakhstan are stacked around a machine with green, peeling paint that crushes chunks of the mineral for mixing with cement.
“The entire unopened bag is put into the machine and there is no exposure to air,” said Rameshan, shouting to be heard over the rumble of machinery as he led visitors through the factory. “It’s completely safe.”
The plant’s in-house doctor, Dinesh Thakare, said workers get their lung function assessed as part of a broader checkup, and chest X-rays are conducted every three years. So far, he hasn’t seen any sign of asbestosis, he said.
“The reason is this is a very slow-progressing disease, it takes 15 to 20 years, and in these kind of modern units all kinds of precautions are taken,” said Thakare, who keeps a copy of the Encyclopedia of Occupational Health and Safety, a 4,000- page reference book, on his desk.
`So Shocking'
Once workers suffer health problems, the process of seeking damages is arduous. Patients need an official certificate from the government-run Employee State Insurance Corporation to be eligible for disability compensation. Only 54 workers in asbestos-related industries received compensation from the agency up to 2009, says Madhumita Dutta from the Ban Asbestos Network in the southern city of Chennai. She didn’t have an estimate for 2010.
“It’s shocking that so few have been compensated, given that hundreds of thousands of people have been working in this industry for decades,” Dutta said in a May 30 interview.
Compensation is often elusive because proving that exposure at work is the direct cause of disease is difficult, said P.K. Nag, director of the National Institute of Occupational Health, a government agency that studies work-related diseases. Asbestos “is harmful, there is no doubt about that,” Nag said.
Job Threat
Some employees don’t apply for fear of losing their job. Those who do seek redress are often frustrated by bureaucratic hurdles, said Raghunath Manwar, a union activist who is trying to get compensation for workers making roofing sheets and other asbestos products at a factory owned by Gujarat Composites Ltd. in Ahmedabad.
“I have been going to the government office for the last five years, but they keep sending me back,” said Chinnappan Chinnakannu, 57, one of the workers who Manwar is helping.
A request to interview Gujarat Composites managers made in person outside its gated compound was refused by five staff members, who said that asbestos is safe and poses no risk to workers. They declined to allow access to the factory or give their names.
‘Delaying Tactic’
“We maintain all the safety procedures that are required,” said D.K. Dutta, the factory’s general manager, in a May 17 telephone interview. He declined to elaborate on safety measures.
Factory worker Chinnakannu doesn’t hold his employer completely to blame. It took two years for his case to go to a medical board appointed by the state of Gujarat, where Ahmedabad is located, he said. That’s in part because Manwar’s group had to file a request under the Right to Information Act, the Indian equivalent of the Freedom of Information Act.
Chinnakannu gathered medical records according to the government board’s guidelines, only to be told the chest X-rays and lung function reports weren’t presented the right way, he said. The medical board has heard his case three times over the past three years, he said.
“They tell you how to conduct the tests and then don’t accept the reports,” Manwar said in an interview. “It’s just a delaying tactic.”
Avoiding Insolvency
That means Indian companies that use asbestos, including Everest, Gujarat Composites, Visaka Industries Ltd. (VSKI), and Hyderabad Industries Ltd. (HYI) don’t face the same kinds of disability claims that pushed Turner & Newall into insolvency, according to Dutta of the Ban Asbestos network. U.S. auto-parts maker Federal-Mogul Corp. (FDML), which acquired Turner & Newall, filed for bankruptcy protection in 2001. A judge ruled four years later that the company might face $9.4 billion in death and injury claims triggered by asbestos-related conditions.
A bill pending in the upper house of India’s parliament proposes a ban on the use, trade and manufacture of the material. While it’s supported by scientists and health officials, it lacks the backing of any major political party.
That means it’s unlikely to be passed into law anytime soon, said lawmaker Vijay Jawaharlal Darda. Darda, who is a member of the ruling Congress party, introduced the measure after more asbestos companies tried to set up factories in his home state of Maharashtra.
India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare deferred all questions to its labor counterpart, saying the health of factory workers doesn’t come under its purview. S.R. Joshi, deputy director general, and Vandana Sharma, deputy secretary for industrial safety and health at the Ministry of Labour and Employment, declined to be interviewed.
‘Looming Time Bomb’
“I will have to study the impact,” Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said when asked whether asbestos should be banned. “I haven’t been able to put my mind to it yet.” Ramesh, who has held the post for two years, declined to comment further.
India faces a “looming time bomb” of serious health problems in workers because companies aren’t penalized for compromising on employee safety and most doctors don’t know how to diagnose occupational diseases, said Laurie Kazan-Allen, coordinator of the International Ban Asbestos Secretariat.
The government requires factory operators to ensure that workers aren’t exposed to air containing more than 1 fiber per cubic centimeter. That’s 10 times the maximum prescribed limit by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Employers in India must provide gloves, helmets and masks for workers, though wearing them isn’t mandatory. Employees must receive regular medical checkups, including X-rays and lung function tests, and the government notified of patients with an occupational disease.

“The onus is on the company to declare every case and the government doesn’t independently monitor the worker’s health,” said Parikh, the retired occupational health agency official.
Some Indian villagers aren’t waiting for legislative changes to begin protecting their communities.
Clashes between protesters and police erupted in December and January in a village called Chainpur, in the eastern Indian state of Bihar, as local residents blocked the entrance to a plant being built by Balmukund Cement & Roofings Ltd. to make asbestos roof sheets. The Kolkata-based company stands by the claim made in its proposal to the state government that the land is barren, said P.S. Ray, a project director. The majority of villagers support the factory, he said.
Red walls that surround the factory under construction border wheat fields and are within 500 meters (547 yards) of a primary school and hundreds of straw-hut homes.
Protest Injuries
“The government thinks we are so desperate for jobs that we will accept a factory that will poison our children,” said Saraswati Devi, 50, a landless farm-laborer, pointing to a cast on her right arm she said was the result of a police beating.
Pevekar has started taking part in demonstrations against asbestos manufacturing in Mumbai.
“This needs to stop,” he said. “I don’t want anyone to go through what we went through.”
There isn’t one country, corporation or system to blame, said Heymann of the U.K. health agency, who was assistant director-general of the WHO for health security and environment until 2009.
“It’s not always the ‘big bad North’,” he said in an interview. “Sometimes these countries should be protecting their people and to protect them, there are certain things they should be requiring of these companies.”
‘Darling Son’
Pevekar was 3 years old when he, his mother and his four siblings moved to a slum in Mumbai, where their father had found a job sweeping the floors at the Hindustan Ferodo factory, Turner’s Indian subsidiary that made asbestos brake pads for cars and scooters. By sharing a single room measuring 9-feet-by- 11-feet they all risked inhaling fine dust particles from the elder Pevekar’s clothes.
“Rajendra was the darling son,” said Indira, Pevekar’s mother. “He would fall asleep lying on his father’s chest, hugging him.”
Pevekar isn’t sure what price he may have to pay for his exposure in childhood, he said. He can’t climb more than two flights of steps, has to walk slowly, and said he has to settle for a job as a butcher in a Mumbai suburb rather than look for better paid work in the city. The crowded trains into Mumbai compound his breathing problem, he said.
“There is no peace of mind,” Pevekar said, choking back tears. “I worry about living long enough and well enough to take care of my children. I want our lives back.”
