The Plant is located at Jorehira in Bankura District of West Bengal with a capacity to produce 100,000 MTPA of Rolled products (TMT), alongwith the intermediate products Sponge Iron, M.S. Ingots/Billets and 12.5 MW Captive Power Plant. Having its’ Sponge Iron unit operationalised in October’05, presently, the unit has successfully implemented all the facilities, and has started producing 100,000 mt of TMT bars (ISI Certified) annually under the brand name of ‘ANKIT TMT’.

 

The Captive Power Plant is a combination of Waste Heat Recovery Based and AFBC which entails the Company to generate power at a lower cost compared to the State utilities, consequently resulting in overall lower cost of production.


The Plant is enjoying a locational advantage by being positioned close to the coal belt in Ranigunj and having linkage wih Coal India Limited for supply of company’s annual coal requirement, thereby deriving cost savings in logistics and transportation. The plant site has good linkages with state and national highways, railways and ports thus ensuring an uninterrupted movement of raw materials and finished products

 BUSINESS REVIEW:

 
 This year under report has witnessed a strong growth in overall economy of the country. Manufacturing, Service, Trading and Allied sectors of economy are reporting excellent performance. Foreign capital and enterprise are increasing their participation. The Central Government is pushing forward economic reforms whether it be Insurance, Aviation, Retail Trade, Banking, Pension Funds or Infrastructure. Financial Institutions and Banks are extending credit facilities on competitive terms. Indian entrepreneurs are either acquiring or setting up business interests abroad. Foreign Exchange resources are at its peak and Foreign Direct Investment is increasing day by day. 

 
 Demand and Production of Iron AND Steel has increased in 2006-07 but prices remained by and large subdued putting pressure on profit margins. Steel Industry has slowly come out of this temporary reduction in price realizations and prices are now showing marked improvement. Demand for Iron and Steel products is bound to increase in coming years due to strong emphasis of the Government on development of infrastructure in the country. 

 
 Foreign steel behemoths like Mittal Steel and POSCO of South Korea AND all large domestic players have announced plans to set up steel making facilities in India, which shows that there is a great potential for steel industry in this country.

 
 PERFORMANCE REVIEW OF THE COMPANY:


 The Company has improved its performance in the year 2006-07 compared to the year 2005-06. The total income has gone up from Rs. 622.000 Millions to Rs.1992.900 Millions and the net profit after tax from Rs. 34.800 Millions to Rs.105.400 Millions.
