The company is a Public Sector Non Ferrous giant and a leading player in the Aluminium Industry. The company owns one of the largest deposits of Bauxite together with integrated production facilities thus making it one of the lowest cost producers of aluminium in the world.  


As an integrated player the company owns a bauxite mine (4.800 millions TPA capacity), an Alumina refinery (1.570 millions tpa capacity), an aluminium smelter (0.345 millions tpa) and captive power plants. Further the company have a port facility and was the first Indian company to link domestic prices of its products to the London Metal Exchange (LME). With the advantage of being lowest cost producer of aluminium in the world Nalco derives more than 50% of its sales from exports. 


The company, usually which is not hesitant to expansions if the market demands has completed a series of expansion programme during the year 1998-2001 consisting of expansion of Bauxite mine capacity to 4.800 millions tpa (from 2.400 millions tpa) aluminium refinery to 1.575 millions tpa (from 0.800 millions tpa) with an capital outlay of Rs.42000.00 millions has submitted its second pase of its expansion plan with an capital outlay of Rs.40000.000 millions to Government of India for its approval. This second phase of expansion involves hiking bauxite mine capacity to 6.300 millions tpa, Alumina refinery capacity to 2.100 millions tpa, aluminium smelter capacity to 0.460 millions tpa and the captive power plants capacity. The captive power plant capacity is expanded at a cost of Rs.4800.00 millions funded brom internal accruals and borrowings. This project meet the additional power requirement for the expanded capacity of its aluminium smelter (to 0.345 million tpa). The smelter was expected to be commissioned by Feburary 14, 2004.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENTS

 

Alumina & Chemicals

 

During the year 2005, the world consumption of Alumina was 62.324 million MT against the world production of 60.995 million MT thus showing a deficit of 1.329 million MT. The world Alumina production and consumption grew by approx. 5.21% and 7.24% respectively during 2005 as compared to 2004.

 

The consistent demand for Alumina has prompted promoters to commence project work for new green field Alumina projects and these projects may become operational in the coming years. It is expected that there might be a massive investment for undertaking green field and brown field expansions.

 

Aluminium

 

During the year 2005, the world consumption of primary Aluminium was 31.947 million MT against world supply of 31.966 million MT, showing a marginal surplus of 0.019 million MT. The world supply and consumption grew by approx. 7.15% and 5.41% respectively during 2005 as compared to 2004. In China, consumption is estimated to have risen by 18.07% and production by 18.25% during 2005. Good demand from USA, Europe, China, Japan, India and South Korea helped in strengthening the international prices during the year.

 

During the year, production from the Company's expanded capacities of the Mines, Refinery and Aluminium Smelter was fully available. Apart from this, ambitious second phase expansion programme of the Company's production facilities has received the Government's nod on 26.12.2004 at an estimated capital cost of Rs.4092 crore and the project activities have already commenced.

 

The Company's other value added products such as Special Grade Alumina, Zeolite and other products have made a good presence in the market and are being well received.

 

SEGMENT-WISE PERFORMANCE

 

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

 

The Company with its large availability of surplus Alumina can explore the possibility of setting up of Aluminium Smelter in the areas where the energy is available at cheaper rates. With its excellent track record over the years, it can also take an 'opportunity for setting up of green field projects elsewhere in the country. The possibility of further expanding capacities in the existing locations with proper debt checking is being explored. The threat perceptions in the country includes competition from substitute materials particularly plastics, progressive reduction in aluminium import tariffs, increasing competition from across the borders, poaching of its manpower by competitors for their green field projects and levy of antidumping duties on imported raw materials.

 

OUTLOOK FOR THE INDUSTRY

 

Domestic Market Outlook

 

The domestic Aluminium supply is going to witness more metal flowing in from the expanded capacities of their producers. The domestic demand of Aluminium is expected to remain strong during 2006-07 and is anticipated to grow at more than 8%.

At the beginning of 2004-05, Nalco had loans amounting to Rs.6543.9 millions. However, the Company has been able to repay the entire loan amount with prudent financial management, coupled with increased production and realization.

It may be mentioned here that following the equity restructuring in March 1999, Nalco brought down its paid-up capital from Rs.12886.2 millions to Rs.6413.1 millions and issued 14.5% debentures amounting to Rs.6413.1 millions, which have been repaid in three installments in the years 2003, 2004 and 2005.

The Company had borrowed a total of $980 million from a consortium of international banks to finance its initial project costs.

The repeat achievement of the zero-debt status will favourably reflect on the Company's bottom line, since there will be no interest burden.

Meanwhile, the Company has started work on the 2 nd phase expansion at an investment of Rs.40910 millions. The Company hopes to meet the fund requirement through internal resources and partly through external borrowings.
