HISTORY

 

The company was incorporated in the name and style of Gupta Tubes and Pipes Private Limited on 27th April, 1970.  The name of the company was changed to Lloyds Steel Industries Private Limited on 10th September, 1985.  The company’s status was changed to that of Public Limited Company with effect from 3rd June, 1986.

 

It’s Company Registration Number is 14621.

 

The company’s registered office was shifted from “Lloyds House, 954, Appasaheb Marathe Marg, Prabhadevi, Mumbai – 400 025, Maharashtra” to the above address.

 

The company was promoted by Mr. R. N. Gupta and is the flagship of the Lloyds group. Its’ engineering division manufactures a wide range of capital equipments and executes turnkey projects. Its steel division, commissioned in 1994, at Wardha, Maharashtra, manufactures wide strip hot-rolled coils. Hot-rolled coils are cold-rolled and converted to GP/CG sheets (installed capacity : 400000 tpa). The company has a worldwide collaboration to obtain technology on a long-term basis with Vosper Thornycroft, U.K., CE Natco International, Singapore, FMC, Europe, SA, France, Mechron Energy, Canada, LGE, U.K. and United Engineering, U.S.A. Lloyds Realty is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company.

 

The company came out with an issue of convertible debentures in February, 1994 to part-finance facilities to manufacture 0.4 million tpa of hot-rolled steel strips. Commercial production commenced in 1994. The forward integration project undertaken by the company to manufacture CR coils and CP/GC sheets/coil, has been implemented. Of the several turnkey projects executed successfully are some of the world’s largest – a fully automatic LPG loading station at Hazira for the Oil and Natural Gas Commission (ONGC),  a space simulator for Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), steering, Gear and Stabilisers for the Indian Navy, Storage facilities for Reliance Industries, Horton spheres for the PVC projects of Finolex Industries and Reliance Industries.

 

During March, 1996, it came out with an offer of 75.141 millions equity shares of Rs. 10/- each a premium of Rs. 18/- aggregating Rs. 2100 millions with detachable warrants in the ratio of 1 warrant for every 10 equity shares to the existing shareholders of the company on Right basis in the ratio of 64 shares for every 100 shares held, to part finance the project to manufacture 225000 tpa Cold Rolled Close Annealed (CRCA) and 125000 tpa Galvanised Plain (GP) / Galvanised Corrugated (GC) sheets at Wardha, Maharashtra.

Vidarbha Power Limited and hence forth this project will be implemented by the said company.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: 

The core business of the Company is manufacturing and marketing Iron and Steel products and manufacturing capital equipments and turnkey projects.

The Management discussions and analysis is given hereunder: 

Industry structure and development : Steel prices remained firm during second half of the year after seeing a fall in prices during the previous year. The steel sector has performed well in the year under review. The Engineering Products of the Company has been approved for its engineering skills/works/services by various premier consulting companies and Inspection Agencies. The company is highly competitive in view of tough competition from foreign companies/agencies. 

Segment-wise performance: The Company is mainly in the business of manufacturing Steel and Capital Equipments and Turnkey Projects. The Company has no activity outside India except export of steel products manufactured in India. Segment wise performance is given at Note No.17 of Schedule Q i.e. Notes on Accounts. 
 
Outlook: With sustained global demand and the industry consolidation gathering momentum, there is every possibility of the steel producers getting back the pricing power. Intact, the consolidation is also expected to lower the prices because of expected synergies in such areas as procurement and logistics though the timeline is difficult to predict.

However the input cost showing no signs of softening, pressure on margins is likely to continue during the current year. For Engineering Industry, the Current year appears to be promising. The Company is participating on continuous basis in the tenders of major public sector undertaking amongst various other companies.
