HISTORY

 

Ratnamani Metals & Tubes (RMTL), incorporated in Sep.'83 as a small scale industrial undertaking as Ratnamani Metals & Tubes Pvt Ltd, became a deemed public limited company in Jul.'89. Another small-scale unit, Ratnamani Tube Industries Pvt Ltd was set up by the same promoters in 1985, which too became a public limited company in Jul.'90. Both the companies were converted into medium-scale units through expansion within 2-3 years of establishment. Ratnamani Tube Industries was amalgamated with Ratnamani Metals & Tubes in Apr.'91. 
 
 RMTL manufactures stainless steel seamless and welded pipes and tubes of various diameters upto 16" (cap.: 3000 tpa). In addition, it undertakes job-work for drawing of pipes. 


In Mar.'93, the company came out with a public issue to part-finance its Rs 6.57-cr project to upgrade its manufacturing facilities and augment its working capital. Under this project, in 1993-94, it installed four pilger machines imported from Intertec, Germany. 


It is having a separate divisions for S S Instrumentation Tubes and S S Heat Exchanger Tubes with additional capacity of 10 MT and 100 MT per month respectively. It has also undertaken modernisation of Weilded Tubes manufacturing facilities which was successfully developed in the year 1999-2000. 


During 1997-98, it installed the Saw Pipes and Carbon Steel Tubes & Pipes with a capacity of 10,000 MT and 1,200 MT. 


During 1998-99, As per the scheme of amalgamation Ratnamani Engineering Ltd was amalgamated with Ratnamani Metals & Tubes Limited.

 
The company is planning to develop capability of tape coating and cement mortar gunniting on pipes.The company has also been issued license for using the API monogram for API 2B products.

 

ISO 9002:1994

 

The company has already been awarded BSEN ISO 9002:1994, a prestigious certification.   This puts The Company at par with other International Companies in respect of globally accepted Quality Management Systems.

 

AD 2000 – Merkblatt W 0

 

The company had received AD 2000 – Merkblatt W 0 Certificate issued by TUV Germany, whereby the marketability of S. S. Tubular products is expected to increase, particularly for exports to Germany and other European countries.

 

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS: 

The year 2006-07 ended much better than expected. The Board of Directors is very much delighted to affirm that the year 2006-07 has been the best year so far in Company's history. Since 2001-02, turnover and profitability have grown consistently, year on year, each year proving to be historical for the

Company. 
 
During the year under review, the Net Income increased by 79% to reach the level of Rs. 5712.500 million from Rs. 3191.900 million in 2005-06, where as the Net Profit after tax stood at Rs. 641.800 million which represents a 91 % growth over the previous year figures. Company has achieved export sales of Rs. 3030 million that amounts to 54 % of Net Sales. 

 

STATUS OF EXPORT HOUSE 


The Board of Directors is pleased to inform that the Company has been awarded Trading House Status for a period of two years by the Joint Director General of Foreign Trade, Ahmedabad for having export turnover in excess of Rs. 5000 million. 

 

FUTURE PROSPECT: 


In the last three years, there has been a shift in the mindset of India's entrepreneurs. The change in thinking has been because of a confidence that India is making its presence felt firmly in World Economy. The word 'multinational' no longer means a foreign company. There are a sizable number of 'Indian Multinationals' now and the number seem to be growing.

 

The globally competitive assertion of India is visible as even larger amounts are being invested in ventures located worldwide. 


The pipes and tubes industry is no exception to this change. There is a huge potential demand for pipes and tubes manufactured in India, or manufactured by Indian entrepreneurs in plants located outside India. There would be ample opportunities and the key to unlock those would be the competitiveness and servicing of the customers'requirements. 


The two major Industry segments in which the Company has strong presence are Oil & Gas and Power. 


Oil & Gas Industry uses the pipes for a variety of applications in: 


* On shore and Offshore drilling platforms 

* For transporting crude oil/gas to refineries and user industries, including cross country pipelines 

* Refineries themselves have various applications of pipes 

* Down stream petrochemical projects use pipelines

 
The majority of the applications need SAW pipes.

 

Simdex (May 2007 update) data suggest there are 511 pipeline projects for 246,473 kms. of these, 90 projects for 81,736 kms are being planned in Asia. 


India is considered to have a low penetration of the pipelines at 15,000 km or 25% of the required volume as against the world average of 75%.

 

According to an estimate of CRIS INFAI, project for 23,643 km of pipelines have been planned till 2010. 


Such expansion in the pipelines both by the public as well as private sector companies would generate a sizable demand for the Company's products. 

 

GAS: 
 
Today, gas is considered as a clean form of energy. The transportation of gas through pipelines is becoming the standard means of transport and distribution world over as it is the cheapest mode. At present, country is in the process of laying down trunk lines as a part of the national grid. Also in select cities, the gas is now being distributed through pipelines. This penetration is going to be increasing in the coming days.

 

Their ERW pipes are being used for the purpose. There will be a sizable market both locally as well as globally for this product. 


Thus, the Company's Carbon Steel products would find adequate market from increased demand due to investment lined up spanning over 10 years in gas and oil exploration, oil and gas transportation, etc. The Company's increased capacity would be handily available to take advantage of the increased demand. 


The Stainless Steel products would also have global opportunities from refineries, power plants and other industrial sectors like paper, pharmaceuticals, etc. 


POWER: 
 
The other important sector is power. The Company's products find application in power plants - be it thermal, or nuclear. It is expected that during the 11th plan period (2007-12), a tentative capacity addition of 66,643 MW is planned comprising of 17,189 MW of hydro, 46,114 MW of thermal (44,000 MW coal/lignite, 2,114 MW gas/LNG) and 3,200 MW of nuclear capacity. This addition coupled with a potential of approximately 58000 MW from renewable energy sector, mainly wind energy would also be opening sizable demand for the Company's products. (Source: Central Electricity Authority/In WEA) 


The backward integration in extrusion capacity would come handy to ensure the ready availability of the raw material for Stainless Steel division with some cost savings. 


The Company is also in the process of removing equipment capacity imbalances, upgrading the equipment for better efficiency and closer tolerances. It is also in process of diversifying its product range and intends to add four to five new products during 2007-08.

 
The Company's 23 Wind mills are working satisfactorily. One more wind mill that was planned to be commissioned last year will be commissioned during 2007-08, thus taking the total installed capacity of Wind mills to 24 nos. with 20.54 MW. 


THE KUTCH PROJECT 


In its first full year of commercial operation, the Kutch plant has contributed to the Company's growth as per expectations. The backward integration project for the production of Hot Extruded Mother Pipes also stabilised in the last quarter of the year and their look forward to an increasing supply of all critical raw materials for the seamless tubes. 


FUTURE PLANS

 
The current year would see full scale production on the hot extrusion plant. The current year would also see higher capacity utilisation of both Kutch and Chhatral plants in both SSTP and SP divisions. 


As part of its philosophy of continuous innovation and growth, the Company is planning to move higher in the product chain in stainless steel. There are plans to take up production of tubes using higher grade raw materials such as super duplex and titanium, etc. The Company is also in the process of evaluating the possibilities of newer products having synergy with its current product line like the wind mill towers.

 
WIND POWER

 
During the fiscal year 2006-07, further investment of Rs. 610 million has been made and seven wind mills having combined capacity of 10.5 MW have been added. During the year under report, total power generation for captive consumption has been 12,703 MW. The Company continues to meet its almost 100% power requirement through 'Green Energy Generation' and contributes in a small way to a greener and cleaner earth.
