LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History

 

Monnet Ispat (MIL) promoted jointly by Sandeep Jajodia and Jindal Strips in 1990 to manufacture sponge iron has set up a plant to manufacture 0.100 Millions tonnes of sponge iron per annum at Village Kurd in the state of Madhya Pradesh.,

 
To part finance this project the company came out with a public issue aggregating Rs.46.000 Millions in Jun 1993. The estimated cost was Rs.360.000 Millions. MIL entered into a 100% buy-back agreement for its output for a period of five years with Jindal Strips.


 In 1994-95, MIL successfully commissioned steel-making facilities with an installed capacity of 50,000 tpa. As part of forward integration, the company proposed to make steel billets and various finished steel products. It also proposed to set up power generation facilities. MIL decided to double the capacity of Sponge Iron plant from 0.100 Millions tonnes per annum to 0.200 Millions tonnes per annum. 

 
The company has increased the capacity of Sponge Iron from 0.230 Millions TPA to 0.360 Millions TPA during the year 2000-01. The capital outlay for this expansion is expected to be around Rs.410.000 Millions. 

 
The company has decided to merge Monnet Power Limited with itself. The swap ratio is fixed at one equity share of Monnet Ispat for 10 equity shares of Monnet Power Limited.

 

CHANGE OF NAME 


The company has changed its name from Monnet ISpat Ltd., to Monnet Ispat & Energy Ltd. The fresh Certificate of Incorporation regarding change of name was issued by Registrar of Companies on 21st March 2006. The new name reflects the true nature of the activities in which the Company is engaged. 

 
 OPERATIONAL REVIEW 

 
During the year under review, the Company produced 301084 MT of Sponge Iron, 222675 MT of M.S. Products and 29344 MT of Ferro Alloys as against production of 240133 MT of Sponge Iron, 145109 MT of M.S. Products and 37813 MT of Ferro Alloys. 

 
 RISK MANAGEMENT 

 
The Company's Risk Management Policy is backed by strong internal control systems. The risk management framework consists of centrally issued policies and divisionally laid down procedures to ensure that the business risks are adequately covered including their monitoring and implementation. The policy is periodically reviewed by the Board and Audit Committee with emphasis on maintaining its effectiveness in dynamic business environment. 

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 
 INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURE 

 
The steel industry was passing through global boom for the last 2-1/2 years till mid of 2005 and started to consolidate towards the second half of Financial Year 2005-06. The prices had risen sharply up to 2004-05 but started to correct through the Financial Year 2005-06 by as much as 20-25%. However the consumption of steel continues to be strong particularly in Asia. Noticeable change in the industry was the disproportionate fall in the prices of steel but not so much for the raw materials. While the steel products across the board had a sharp correction there was marginal depreciation in the prices of non-coking coal and iron ore in particular. 
 
 They had stated in their previous report that industry dynamics are likely to change owing to emergence of price disparity of raw material and end products. The shrinking margins have posed a big challenge to the steel companies, exposed to external raw materials, whereas the integrated players may see decline in the operating margins, but the profitability levels would still continue to be close to industry standards. This emergence of dichromatic situation, where the raw material would continue to trade closer to peak prices and end product will sell relatively cheap is going to prevail for a while. Therefore it is incumbent for the industry to pass through this challenge by attempting to rationalize the cost through the process of integration of operations. 

 
There is expected to be huge economic development in the country with focus on infrastructure development. Keeping this in the view the demand for the steel in the country would continue to be buoyant. Not with standing the threat of imports, the efficient and integrated steel companies would be able to do well and take advantage of this expected robust demand for steel in the foreseeable future. 

 
 OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS 

 
The major threats in steel company today would come from within the company in the sense that if the companies are not able to manage the effective cost control and be competitive through integration of raw materials, they will remain exposed to the threat of getting adversely effected in the market and eventually may stand wiped-off. Therefore, this threat will make the companies to look for opportunities wherein they integrate themselves backward and forward significantly to improve their cost competitiveness and increase the volume growth. 
 
 They also see an era of consolidation in the industry, which was hitherto not seen. The takeovers and mergers will become much more active in the industry on the back of having higher volumes and cost efficiency to take on to the global challenges. This could be a major threat for many less performing companies and opportunity for the more efficient ones. 




 SEGMENT-WISE OR PRODUCT-WISE PERFORMANCE

 
 
 The company has done very well in the area of product segment viz. sponge iron, steel and power. The company has reported excellent volume growth in all the three divisions. The sponge iron has reported over 100% capacity utilization and the steel division has reported a growth of 50% in the operations compared to the preceding year. The power division continue to do well and has reported growth of about 15% during the year. 
 
 OUTLOOK 
 
 Outlook of the company from the current financial year will have a major change in the backdrop of capacity expansion and focus on the energy sector. The company is going to complete major expansions in sponge iron and power during the current financial year, which will move it to the pedestal of second largest coal based sponge Iron Company in the country. The increase in the volumes would be a growth impetus in the profitability of the company. The power generation capacity in the company will reach to 150MW by the end of the financial year and coal-mining operations are expected to reach above one million ton capacity making it the single largest underground coalmine in the country. The combined impact will mean a significant portion of the bottom line getting contributed from the energy sector. The energy portfolio comprising of coal and power will henceforth be a key driver to the future growth of the company. 

 
 RISKS AND CONCERNS 

 
The availability of iron ore continue to be a challenge to the company. The iron ore mining arrangement done in the previous year may partly address the concern. However, their efforts for looking for additional iron ore mines are on. 

 

As per website details

 

Their Strong conviction and belief in the basic human values has helped us to grow into a multifaceted conglomerate with a diverse portfolio ranging from Steel, Ferro Alloys, Power, Mining etc.

 

A young group, Monnet has come a long way in a very short span of time. They view the human resource as their most valuable asset, much more valuable than the other factors of productions i.e. money, materials and machinery. A Product can be duplicated, technology is available for a price, but human being are non-duplicable. In the 21st century, the human resource is going to be the competitive advantage of any company, be it in the manufacturing or the service sector. A customer driven company, they at Monnet, are as much concerned about their external customers as they are about their internal customers.

 

It is assured that with the given growth potential of the group, opportunities for personal and professional development will be plentiful, but each opportunity is like a door, of which "accepting challenges" is the key.
