KSL has absorbed various technologies from Aichi Steels, Japan; Mann, Germany; Inteco, Austria; and Concast, Switzerland. 
 
 KSL has also set up an electro-slag refining (ESR) plant to manufacture ingots with a maximum diameter of 800 mm. The company went public in Sep.'92 with an issue of FCDs and NCDs with warrants attached to part-finance its seamless pipe project at Baramati near Pune.  
 
 In Jan.'95, the company transferred its 90,000-tpa carbon and alloy steel seamless tubes plant at Baramati, Pune, to Kalyani Seamless Tubes, a company promoted especially to take over this project.

The project is expected to be completed by November 2005. 
 
 In the 2004-05 the company has commenced a project for integrated steel manufacturing project of 30000 TPA at village Ginigera, Koppal, Karnataka. The company will commission 350m3 capacity Mini Blast Furnace, Coal based Sponge Iron Plant of 350 TPD capacity and Power plant to utilise the engery of the flue gases generated in the above processes in the first phase and in the second phase it will commission steel melting shop and Rolling Mills.

Power Project :

 

The Directors are pleased to inform commissioning of the Power Plant on 20th April, 2005. The said plant uses the blast furnace gases generated by mini blast furnaces, which were earlier unutilised and the entire power generated by the plant is used for captive consumption. The total capital expenditure incurred for setting up of the plant amounted to Rs.251 Million, which was financed from internal accruals and term loans. The plant is currently operating at its full capacity and has generated 9.5 Million units from its commissioning date.

 

Coke Oven Batteries Project :

 

Members are aware of an agreement entered into between tyie Company and Gujarat NRE Coke Limited (GNCL), for setting up of Coke Oven Batteries Project. The Company has contributed to 40% Equity of Bharat NRE Coke Limited viz. a company incorporated, in terms of the said agreement, for setting up one or more coke oven batteries at mutually agreed location, for conversion of coal into coke, by using the technology of GNCL. BNCL has proposed to set up eight coke oven batteries at Dharwad, in the State of Karnataka. The first coke oven battery was commissioned during April, 2005 and has already started conversion of coal into coke. Commissioning of the second battery is in process and both the batteries taken together are expected to produce 5,400 tonnes per month of coke. Remaining six batteries are expected to be commissioned at the rate of two batteries per month commencing from September, 2005 to November, 2005. As the project is nearby Company's existing integrated steel plant, coke handling will be for a shorter distance, resulting in reduction in hanHling losses. Savings is also expected, due to lesser generation of fines by 5 to 7%. Coke supplies to the Company are being started and project will facilitate assured supply of coke, at the reduced costs.

 

New Steel Project :

 

In pursuance of the Company's philosophy to focus on its core competency in steel manufacturing, the

Company has embarked upon an integrated steel manufacturing project of 300,000 TPA at Village Ginigera, Taluka and District Koppal, in the State of Karnataka. Location of the proposed project is in the vicinity of major raw material viz. iron ore. Necessary water, electricity and other infrastructural resources are also available due to its proximity to the existing plant of the Company. The said New Steel Project is being planned for execution in two phases : In Phase I, the Company will commission 350m3 capacity Mini Blast Furnace (MBF), Coal based Sponge Iron Plant of 350 TPD capacity and Power Plant to utilise the energy" of the flue gases generated in the above Processes  Phase II will consist of Steel Melting Shop (SMS) and Rolling Mills. The total cost of the project is estimated at approx. Rs.4,450 Million. The Company has already initiated dialogues with various Technology and Equipment Suppliers for making the necessary tie-ups for the Project. With this additional capacity, the Company would become one of the largest alloy steel manufacturers in the country.

 

New Pig Iron Making Facility :

 

Pig Iron is a basic ingredient / raw material in steel making process and required in large quantities by the

Company. At present, part of the pig iron requirements are met internally by the two Mini Blast Furnaces

(MBFs) of the Company and part is required to be procured from outside sources. In order to achieve, the cost advantage in pig iron procurement, the Company has entered into lease agreement with M/s Shree Ram Electrocast Private Limited and taken on lease for the period of 22 months, Pig Iron Making Facilities consisting of one mini blast furnace of 175m3 capacity, pig casting machine, raw material

handling system, electrical facilities including 2.5 MW captive power plant etc. The said facility is situated at Village Honarhalli and Halekote, Taluka Siruguppa, District Bellary, in the State of Karnataka and expected to produce 108,000 TPA of Pig Iron. The facility is expected to commence its operations from July, 2005.

 

 Outlook :

 

Members will appreciate that with the initiatives taken in various areas the Company has secured, assured supply of quality raw materials and energy sources by way of : Long term arrangements for iron ore mines, to make the Company self sufficient, for its major raw material requirements in steel making  Long term contracts for procurement of coal and its conversion into coke, an energy source for hot metal production. Captive Power Plants : Existing and proposed power plants would make the Company self sufficient as regards to its power requirements, a short supply commodity. This would ensure a long-term viability to the operations of the Company to register consistent and sustainable top line and bottom line growth over years to come, while facing the challenges thrown up by internationally competitive environment.
