LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

Earlier known as Mukand Iron & Steel Works, Mukand was incorporated in Nov.'37. Founded by Lala Mukand Lal, it was later taken over by Jamanlal Bajaj and Jeewanlal Motichand Shah. It is a multi-product, multi-division company. The main divisions are the steel plant, steel foundry and real estate. The steel foundry and the stainless steel coils finishing division received certificates of approval under ISO 9002 from the Bureau Veritas Quality Internationale. 
 
 A leading producer of stainless steel, Mukand manufactures cold-headed quality steel, ball-bearing steel, carbon and alloy steel bars and wire rods, and, leaded steel bars. Its foundry produces a wide range of components from intricate tiny pieces weighing a few kilograms to large castings weighing over 80 tonnes.  
 
 As a leading special and alloy steel producer, Mukand has been a pace setter for technological development in Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking. In 1965, Mukand became India's first steelmaker to install a continuous casting machine. Today, its entire steel production is through the continuous casting route. 
 
 In 1989, it set up a new company for engineering and project management services in collaboration with Dravo Wellman Company, US. The Company also issued Bonus shares in the ratio of 1:2. Beco Engineering Company was amalgamated with the Company in Oct.'92 in terms of the AAIFR order with effect from Apr.'91. 
 
 In 2001, the company like other industries in manufacturing segment experienced liquidity crunch throughout the year resulting from excess production capacities and longer credits granted by competitors. The company has entered into co-operation agreements with JSC Centrodorstroy(CDS) a Russian based company to whom the Road construction contracts were awarded on early 2001. The total project value being Rs.5610 million and it involves four-laning and strengthening of the existing two-lane sections on the NH-2 in UP.  
 
 The Road Construction division has commenced execution of the four laning project in Uttar Pradesh during the year 2002-03.The net worth of the company has eroded in excess of 50% of its peak net worth during the immediately preceding four financial years and the company has thus become Potentially Sick. On restructuring of company's debts,the revised proposal for restructuring has been finalised by ICICI Bank Ltd and the same has been approved by Corporate Debt Restructuring Cell(CDR) set up RBI

* Including year end adjustment for loss of Rs 722.07 lakhs

Notes :

1.The turnover for the year increased by 7.70% to 1,802 crores including excise duty as compared to Rs.1,673 crores in the previous year.

However, EBIDTA improved by 58% to Rs.249 crores as compared to Rs.157 crores in the previous year. This was on account of concerted efforts to maximize the margins by higher production of value added heat treated steels and bright bars, as also improved performance by Industrial Machinery Division.

The turnover of steel division increased by 7% to Rs. 1,524 crores from Rs.1,424 crores in the previous year on account of higher sales of alloy steels to automotive sector.

The revenues from Industrial Machinery Division also went up by 58% to Rs.146 crores as an outcome of rapid expansion and investments for additional capacities in the engineering and steel sectors of the economy as against Rs.92 crores reported in the previous year. Orders on hand as at the end of the year aggregated to Rs.202 crores.

The Company’s profit before exceptional items, waivers and tax increased to Rs. 86.03 crores from Rs. 13.48 crores in the previous year.

2. Exceptional items (net) includes net surplus on sale of land at Kurla, Mumbai, net surplus on disposal of assets of the closed unit of Foundry at Kurla, Mumbai, compensation under VRS, bad debts/advances written off/recovered, provision for doubtful debts/advances, provision for diminution of value of investments, expected loss on assets retired from active use, loss on termination of lease agreements and damages awarded under an arbitration in respect of erstwhile engineering construction division, etc.

It also includes net surplus of Rs.0.90 crores for the quarter (Rs.9.08 crores for nine months) on disposal of assets of the closed unit of Foundry at Kurla, Mumbai, compensation under VRS, bad debts/advances written off/recovered and provision for doubtful debts/advances including Rs.34.49 crores for dues recoverable from Stainless India Limited, a sick industrial company whose reference is pending disposal with BIFR.

3. The Board of Directors recommend payment of dividend (including arrears) @ 0.01% on the Preference capital of the Company with effect from 12 th January 2004.

4. Management's response to the qualifications of the auditors on the financial statements for the year ended 31.3.2006:

a) The Company continues to rely upon the market value of assets and the earnings from ongoing business of Stainless India Limited (SIL) and Bombay Forgings Limited and also upon the market value of assets of Vidyavihar Containers Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary), for recovery of the value of investments and other dues from these Companies (net of amounts provided as doubtful of recovery for dues from SIL and for diminution in value of investments in VCL).

b)
Regarding recoverability of loans from Companies whose net-worths have eroded, the Company continues to rely upon the time bound schedule given by these companies for re-payment of loans and the fact that part of the loans have been repaid by these companies during the year under review.

5. Figures in respect of previous quarter / nine months / year have been recomputed / regrouped / recast wherever necessary.

6. There were no complaints of investors pending at the beginning of the quarter as well as at the end of the quarter. During the quarter, the Company has received two complaints all of which have been resolved.

7. The consolidated accounts as shown above include the audited results of three wholly owned subsidiaries, Mukand Global Finance Limited, Vidyavihar Containers Limited, Mukand International Limited and the pro-rata share in the audited results of associate Company Mukand Engineers Limited and the pro-rata share in un-audited results of associate Companies Bombay Forgings Limited and Stainless India Limited.

HISTORY

            Mukand Iron & Steel Works Limited, re-christened ‘Mukand Ltd.' on and from March 23, 1989, was registered on November 29, 1937. The Company then operated re-rolling mills and foundry in Lahore and at Reay Road, Bombay. Two years later, Lala Mukand Lal who had the controlling interest in the Company and had been doing constructive social work under the guidance of Mahatma Gandhi, expressed his desire to leave the Company. The Mahatma asked Jamnalal Bajaj and Jeevanlal Motichand to take over the Company which was then under serious financial strain. They did so after some persuasion, in 1939.

The Steel Plant at Kalwe commenced operations in 1965. A structural shop, later re-christened ‘Machine Building Division' was also set up at Kalwe by the same year. The Company established its leadership in the two businesses, steel and machine building, fairly quickly.

The history of Mukand Ltd is the history of its resilience, continual renewal and resurgence.

 

 

ASSOCIATES COMPANY

     

Mukand Ltd.'s leadership in steel technology is built on a long history of pioneering, kept alive by adaptive absorption of advanced technology's sustained in-house research and development.

Mukand Ltd. was India's first steelmaker to successfully adopt the ‘continuous billet casting' technology using ‘F' type continuous casting machine, when this technology was in its infancy in the West.

Mukand Ltd. was the first in India to successfully adopt the vacuum oxygen decarburisation technology for the manufacture of stainless steel. It was also the first in the country to install an oxygen top and bottom blown converter for the manufacture of stainless steel, there being only three other plants in the world that used this technology.

Mukand's steel plant is the fourth in the world to introduce the ‘easy draw continuous cooling' system for wire rods.
