BACKGROUND: 
 
 As the members are aware, the year 2006-07 happens to be the sixth financial year for the subject, after commencement of commercial operations of the Pig Iron Plant in May 2001. 


 HIGHLIGHTS: 

 

Some of the highlights of performance achieved by the company during the financial year 2006-07: 
 
Hot metal production - 180400 MT of Hot metal achieved during this financial year is the highest yearly production since inception. 

 

Pig iron production - 163219 MT achieved during this financial year is the highest since inception. 


Pig iron despatch - 153544 MT despatched during the year is the highest despatch in a year since inception. 


15349 MT of auxiliary material despatched is the highest yearly despatch since inception. 


Granulated slag despatch of 27135 MT is the highest despatch in a year. 


 PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE: 


 During the period of 2006-07, even though the production of 180400 MT of hot metal and 163219 MT of pig iron is the highest quantity achieved in the year, it is below the targeted hot metal production of 218490 MT and pig iron production of 205381 MT. 


 This financial year is the first year of production after capital repair work was completed in the first week of December 2005. The capital repair work has helped the Company to achieve highest production since inception during the year. In fact, the hot metal production level even in the month of April 2006 is 18055 MT which is the highest in any April month and even in the monsoon month; the Company could achieve the hot metal production of 17250 MT in August 2006 which is the highest monthly production in any monsoon months. In the month of May 2006, the production level was lower at 10433 MT due to non availability of metallurgical coke during the last week. From December 2006 problems were faced in the Pig casting machine. The conversion of hot metal to Pig iron was lower due to gap between Pig casting machine moulds which was created by elongation of chain links and problems in the carrier plate. This is a major problem which requires replacement of the spares in the complete machine and the same was ordered with the original supplier M/s Bhilai Engineering Corporation, Bhilai. The material is expected in the first week of July 2007 and after replacement of the spare, both the production level as well as the conversion from hot metal to pig iron is expected to improve. The above action is expected to reduce the production cost and improve sales realization.

  
 During the year, the saleable pig iron was produced in 7 grades differentiated on the basis of silicon content in the pig iron in accordance with the market requirement. 


 In the area of specific consumption of raw material, the main parameters i.e. dry coke rate and iron ore rate were higher than the budgeted norms due to the problems faced in the Pig casting machine. With the rectification of Pig casting machine during July 2007, the parameters are expected to improve.

 
 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: 

 

During the year under review, the net sales realization of pig iron was more than the budgeted figure. The average sales realization per tonne of pig iron was expected in the budget as Rs.13100/MT whereas actual average realization achieved was Rs.14647/MT in the year 2006-07. 


 During the year, the Company has made a cash profit of Rs.41.8 Millions before providing depreciation. However, the Company posted a net loss of Rs.116.4 Millions as against net loss of Rs.473.7 Millions during 2005-06 excluding interest on Loan drawn from KIOCL. This was mainly due to the improved market scenario for the pig iron as well as improved operation of the furnace after Capital Repair. The plant performance was better after capital repair and the performance of the plant is expected to improve during 2007-08 after the repair of Pig casting machine and also with the improved marketing trend for the Pig iron. 

 

 

 

 

FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS: 

 

During the period under review, the Company availed Overdraft of Rs.1005.4 Millions. as against Rs.1374.0 Millions. sanctioned by State Bank of India which is secured by lien on Term Deposits of KIOCL. 


 MARKETING: 


 During this financial year, the Pig iron is completely sold by the Company in the domestic market. The Company did not export pig iron due to less realization and heavy demand in the domestic market. The Company had exported 18343 MT of iron ore fines to China in May 2005 and earned foreign exchange to the tune of Rs.44.6 Millions
 

In addition to the direct marketing of Pig iron within and outside Karnataka, the Pig iron was also sold through the company appointed agents. During the year the company achieved Net sales realization of Rs.14647/MT.
