LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

Incorporated on 14 May '90 as a private limited company, Hisar Metal Industries set up a project for manufacturing cold rolled stainless steel strips. It was converted into a public limited company in Jun.'92. Commercial production commenced at its plant in Hisar, Haryana, in Mar.'91 with an installed capacity of 1800 tpa, which was raised to 3600 tpa in 1993-94. The company was promoted by M P Jindal and Abhi Ram Tayal. 
 
The company expanded its operations by enhancing the installed capacity of cold rolled stainless steel from 3600 to 6000 tpa in 1995. The project was part financed by a public issue made by the company in Nov.'95. 
 
The company is going to setup a Bright Annealing and a 6 Hi Mill which has good potential to boost exports and domestic sale

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Industry Structure and Developments: 


Stainless Steel (SS), a combination of Steel, Nickel and Chromium is recognized for its anti-corrosive nature, long life glossy outlook. Today it has emerged as the specialty version of common steel. Almost 70% of the country's demands comes from Kitchen segment and the rest 30% comes from industrial and other segments. In 2007, the world production of Stainless Steel increased by 9.1% while the Asian Region showed the strongest increase at 21% (China +54% and India +7%). Indian producers anticipate demand to multiply in near future due to the demand from Railways, infrastructure projects including those from Stadia, Shopping malls, high rise buildings etc. 
 
OPPORTUNITIES: 
 
India and China share 40% of the world's population while China has surged ahead in stainless steel per capita consumption (1.6 Kg. in 2000 to 5.3 Kg.in 2006) India's per capita consumption is far lower 1.6 Kg. Even in developed countries the per capita consumption of S.S. is in the range of 15-20 Kg. This highlights the potential for high growth in view of higher expected growth in GDP, higher industrial production, existing low per capita consumption, availability of key natural resources such as manganese and chrome ore and competitive manpower costs. While in automotive and transport sectors the major countries share nearly 14%, the construction sector takes around 12% of stainless steel. Against this India's present consumption in both these segment put together is just one percent. Therefore the industry possesses vast potential especially looking at the fast growing consumption. 

 
The Company has 3 Nos. of 4 Hi Mill and One 6 Hi Mill and it is now planning to setup one more 6 Hi Rolling Mill to produce wider width thinner material. Besides, they always look forward to cope with any technological advancement. 
 
THREATS: 
 
Nickel accounts for more than 60% of the cost of making the 300 series of stainless steel and therefore, the volatility in its price has always been affecting the growth of S.S. although it is likely to settle down in the second half of the financial year 2008. Indian Stainless Steel manufacturers for the past few years have been focusing on low nickel stainless steel grades in a bid to offset rising costs of the metal. Morever, there are other deterrents also like rise in rupee value, poor availability of power and the concern of the government over rising steel prices. 


The poor availability of power, the fluctuations in the prices of raw materials due to fluctuation in the paces of nickel and chrome are the main reasons for lower performance during the financial year 2007-08. 
 

 


OUTLOOK: 
 
Stainless steel has gained impressive recognition and achieved quantum progress over the past decade. With the improvement in the lifestyle of the average Indian and the burgeoning middle class with a higher propensity to spend on life style products the per capita consumption of S.S. in India is expected to improve significantly. Steel without stainless recorded only 1.38% growth and so did other metals aluminium, copper, zinc and lead within the range of 2.99% to 1.26% while there is 5.20% growth in Stainless Steel. The rising costs of the key inputs such as Chromium and nickel have triggered substitution efforts world-wide with low nickel content grades (Cr-MN 200 series) and ferritic grades gaining momentum. Indian Stainless Steel Manufacturers for the past few years have been focusing on low nickel stainless grades. 


During the financial year 2007-08, the low nickel material production is the 56% of the total production of the financial year 2007-08. 


RISK AND CONCERNS: 


Though India is a small importer of Stainless Steel now, rising input costs is affecting the competitiveness of the industry. The imports have grown by 50% It is suggested that custom duty on CRC should be increased so that India does not turn into a dumping ground for Chinese manufacturers. The major factors for the lower per capita consumption of S.S. in India are lack of awareness about its use and benefits, non-availability of steel fabricators, under developed production technology etc. Though ISSDA's efforts has helped to increase the consumption of S.S. in the country, more efforts are required from the Industry players. 


The growing demand from the infrastructure industries is expected to increase the demand for their product and they hope to have better performance in the coming financial year. 


 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE


This year the production and turnover both are down by 22% and 21% respectively in terms of volume. The Company has produced 9407 M.T. of prime CRSS Strips as compared to 12083 M.T. in the previous financial year while the Company has sold 9549 M.T. of prime CRSS Strips as compared to 12084 M.T. in the previous financial year. The turnover in terms of value is down by 11% to Rs.17287 Lac. 


The Profit before tax has decreased to Rs.15.800 millions and Profit after tax has decreased to Rs.11.400 millions  down by 44% and 38.5% respectively. 


 Capital Expenditure during the year stood to Rs. 2.300 millions
 
 The Reserve and Surplus stood to Rs. 66.200 millions. 
 
 The Earning per share is Rs. 3.18 and the Book value per share is Rs.28.39. 
 
 The Board of Directors have recommended a dividend of 10% for the financial year 2007-08. 

 

COMPANY'S BUSINESS GROWTH AND PROSPECTS

 

This year the performance is not good although satisfactory. The production is down by 22% and the Sales in terms of quantity by 21%.The Sales in terms of value is down by 11% approx. to Rs. 1728.700 millions and the result is that the PBTand PAT both are down by 44% to Rs.157.84 and 38.5% to Rs.1143.000 millions respectively. The reasons are price fluctuation in the raw material throughout the year causing poor demand of their finished product, poor export demand and poor availability of power throughout the year. They hope to do better in the coming financial year.

 

 

 

 

EXPENDITURE ON NEW PROJECTS AND SUBSTANTIAL EXPANSIOAN

 

Expenditure directly relating to construction activity is capitalized. Indirect expenditure incurred during construction period is capitalized as part of the indirect construction cost to the extent to which the expenditure is indirectly related to construction or is incidental thereto. Other indirect expenditure (including borrowing costs) incurred during the construction period, which are not related to the construction activity nor is incidental thereto are charged to the Profit and Loss Account. Income earned during construction period is deducted from the total of the indirect expenditure.

 

All direct capital expenditure on expansion is capitalized. As regards indirect expenditure on expansion, only that portion is capitalized which represents the marginal increase in such expenditure involved as a result of expansion. Both direct and indirect expenditure are capitalized only if they increase the value of the asset beyond its originally assessed standard of performance.
