GENERAL and PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW: 

 

 The Company, Vikash Metal and Power Limited had developed a platform that allows it to cater the needs of Indian Steel consumers. The financial year 2006-07 was a landmark for the Company, and during the year it has reported a remarkable turnover of Rs. 1815.700 Millions and posted a net profit of Rs.75.900 Millions The Financial Statements have been prepared and presented in compliance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1956 and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAPP) in India. The Statement depict true and fair state of affairs of the Company and the management of Vikash Metal and Power Limited accepts responsibility for the integrity and objectivity of these financial statements as well as for various estimates and judgments used therein. 
 
 INDUSTRY STRUCTURE and DEVELOPMENT:

 
 The impressive growth of the steel sector continued for the fourth consecutive year, in the line with global trend. During the year, the Indian economy continued to grow strongly on the back of macroeconomic fundamentals with a growth rate 9.2% (ES-2006-07). During the first three quarters of the fiscal year 2006-07, steel prices started firming up. The price rise has been stronger in case of flat products, where most of the key items saw marked rise during October 2006, from a year ago. For non-flat steel, the rise has been of a lesser intensity as compare6 to the flats. The increase has been mainly due to the strong domestic demand for steel and increase in cost of raw materials like Zinc and Ferro-Alloys. Along with Brazil, Russia and China, India is expected to be a strong growth engine for global steel demand in the coming years, With an overall upsurge in the Indian economy, the demand of Iron and Steel is ai an all time high and the growth in automotive sector and investments in housing projects are expected to trigger a growth in demand for steel by over 10% during 2007-08. 


 On the global front world - wide steel consumption during 2006-07 was over 1,113 million tons, which was higher by 8% over the previous year. The prestigious International Iron and Steel Institute has projected an apparent steel use of over 1,250 million tons by 2008 at an annual growth exceeding 6%. 

 
 The agreement between Arcelor and Mittal Steel is one of the biggest developments in the global steel industry, creating the world's biggest steel company by a significant margin. The Lakshmi Narayan Mittal owned Mittal Steel acquired French steel Company Arcelor for Euro 18.6 billion ($22.7 billion) to create the world's number one steel company, Arcelor Mittal. 


 After the Mittal - Arcelor takeover, one the biggest international victories for India Inc. was India's Tata Steel's victory for Anglo-Dutch steel giant Corus. 

 
 OPPORTUNITY AND THREATS: 

 
 Domestic demand of steel is expected to grow at a rate of 7% on a compounded basis over the next decade. Additionally, global demand is expected to grow by over 6% creating enormous opportunities for being explored by main line steel producers. There are tremendous opportunities with the company. With the thrust on economic development and infrastructure, the products manufactured by the company have tremendous scope. There are all round infrastructure developments both within the state and country, where the long products manufactured by the company will find its use. The company is under pressure of the varying prices of its key Yaw materials namely iron ore, coal and melting scrap. In order to safeguard itself with such variations the company is exploring options to acquire or lease mines. Imports of key raw materials have been done to hedge against price variations. All efforts are being made to reduce the cost of raw materials but not compromising on the quality of its finished products. With the commissioning of the power plant soon, the company expects to reduce its cost further and will be in a more stronger position to sustain competition from other plants. 

 

 FUTURE OUTLOOK: 

 
 The outlook for 2006-07 remains growing for a number of reasons. The Indian Government has continued its focus on investment, job creation, rural development etc. with a stress on comprehensive economic reforms. Industrial growth in India has risen by around 10% per annum and similar growth is expected to continue. The Company is taking all out efforts to improve plant efficiency and enhance production and marketing.
