LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

HISTORY

 

Subject was incorporated on 12th September 1972 at Panchmahal in Gujarat having Company Registration Number 2153.

 

Subject was incorporated as a private limited liability company to manufacture 18000 tpa of mild steel ingots.  Subsequently it was converted into a public limited liability company.

 

It became a sick unit and a winding up petition was filed by the creditors.  In February, 1976 the Gujarat High Court sanctioned the takeover of the company by Mr. R. L. Malhotra and Mr. Ashok Malhotra from the previous management.

 

After the takeover, the company turned around.  Rolling facilities were set up in 1982 and secondary refining facilities were commissioned in 1986. The company switched over from production of mild steel to carbon, alloy and stainless steel. 

 

The company has facilities to manufacture 750000 tpa of steel billets and 120000 tpa of rolled products at the GIDC Industrial Estate, Panchmahal District, Gujarat.

 

The first stage of technological upgradation and expansion of the rolling mill division commenced commercial production in March, 1994, while the second stage was commissioned in March, 1995.   The capacity of the forgings division had also been expanded from 1800 tpa to 4200 tpa in 1994-95.

 

The company is putting up a modern steel melting shop with a capacity to produced 0.2 million tpa of stainless steel billets.

 

Company exports had registered a growth of 20% during the year 2000-01, as the figures stood at Rs. 493.000 millions in the previous year.

 

The company’s quality system had been accredited with ISO 9002 certification during the year 2000-01.

 

OPERATIONS: 

 

The Company achieved a turnover of Rs.3275.100 millions as against to Rs.3301.600 millions during the previous year. Your Company is mainly in production of Stainless Steel Long Products and is concentrating on value added cold finished Stainless Steel Bright Bars and Wires. 


The Company's products are used in the construction, engineering and consumer durable sectors. Your company has earned a reputation for quality and reliability, both in international and domestic markets. Globally, the Stainless Steel markets are expected to grow at an average of about five percent, while the domestic market is expected to grow at an average of ten to fifteen percent. 


DIVIDEND: 
 
The Directors do not recommend any dividend in view of accumulated losses. 


REHABILITATION AND FINANCIAL SCHEMES


The Company had made reference under Section 15 (1) of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 (SICA) and was registered with Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR). 
 
 The Company has been in discussion with financial institutions for its debt restructuring. 


 During the year, State Bank of India (SBI) has assigned its term debt to Asset Restructuring Company (India) Limited (ARCIL). SBI has also restructured its working capital facilities, resulting in FITL of Rs.40.000 millions and waiver of the balance overdue interest of previous years. The Company has paid the FITL amount of Rs.40.000 millions as per the terms of sanction.

 
 ARCIL has approved the restructuring package consisting of a term debt of Rs.1162.300 millions (assigned to ARCIL by ICICI Bank and SBI). LIC has also approved the restructuring scheme consisting of a term debt of Rs.96.100 millions. 


 The Company has started making payments to ARCIL and LIC as per the sanctioned schemes. 
 
 NEW SMS PROJECT: 


 The Directors are optimistic about the Company's future and growing business prospects. Plans to commission the new SMS Project are being prepared.

 
 Performance: 
 
 The performance of the Company has been satisfactory during the year. The Company has continued its thrust on increasing value added products and broadening market base. 


 
 Opportunities, Threats and Future Outlook: 


 The Company has established itself as a quality producer and a reliable supplier of Stainless Steel long products internationally. This provides the Company an opportunity to further strengthen its customer base and improve volumes. 
 
 However, the Company's main raw material viz. Nickel is subject to high price volatility. This puts the Company in a vulnerable situation when the sales realizations do not match the changes in nickel prices. The Company is also required to compete established competitors on the international arena.

 
 The Government Policy in relation to export benefits and import duties has a bearing on the profitability of Company. 
 
The Company has established stringent quality system and produces world class products. It has also established cost effective production practices. It is, therefore, hopeful of meeting the threats and challenges and show imp roved performances in future.

 
 Internal Control System and their adequacy: 


The Company has a proper and adequate system of internal controls developed over a period of time. The system is supported by management and internal audits. 

 

The company is in trade terms with:
