LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

Subject was incorporated in the year 1979 for the manufacture of aluminium extrusions and aluminium alloys. The company, formerly known as Sudarshan Aluminium Industries, was promoted by S C Chokani in association agreement with Hindustan Aluminium Corporation for providing technical assistance. The Company has already awarded a Licence for the Quality Systems Certification in accordance with IS 14002/ISO 9002 by the BIS.

 

The company's products are aluminium extrusions and alloys. The company's commercial production started in the year 1981. During 1985-86, the performance of the company was unsatisfactory due to under-utilisation of capacity, shortage of raw material and labour strike, etc. The situation slightly improved during the next two years but again ran into rough weather during 1988-89 due to the increase in the cost of raw materials and inputs, drastic reduction in selling prices and increase in excise duty. The intermittent and inadequate supply of aluminium ingots also added to the problems. Consequently the company incurred loss continuously.

 
The company's products find extensive usage in agricultural, transportation, electrical, electronics, consumer durables, defence, tubing, irrigation tubing, pump body extrusions, airways, shipping, etc. The company's client list consists of companies like BHEL, TELCO, L and T, Philips, Siemens, Mahindra and Mahindra, Godrej, Bajaj Auto, Crompton Greaves, ABB and Kirloskar Electrodyne, etc. The company has technical collaboration with Reynolds (Europe). The Reynolds group is the world's largest producers of Aluminium and its varied products. Their technical assistance is to enable the company to reduce costs, increase its production and productivity. 


During 1990-91, the company diversified into downstream products. The company started manufacturing irrigation and sprinkler systems. It also manufactures drip irrigation systems and value added products like heat exchanger tubing, truck body kits, etc. 


The company has developed Extruded Sections for sophisticated end users like BARC,HAL,etc and also in down stream activities by manufacturing fabricated components, Truck Body Kits etc which gives more value for its extruded product. The company is progressing in implementing quality systems as per QS 9000 and new IS 9001.

 

DIRECTOR’S REPORT

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS: 


During the year , though the company has shown better performance but it has affected during the year from power cuts/load shedding, irregular raw material supplies and its frequent price changes by primary producers apart from non re-reimbursement of the interest by the customers though agreed to by them. 
 
However, with customer profile coupled with better product - mix and with better price realisation the company could sell and earn more in a most competitive market. 


Had the workers achieved the production and productivity as per the terms and norms specified in the agreement (though re-assured for co-operation for increasing production and productivity), the company would have achieved better operational performance. 


EXPANSION: 


The Company has plans to go into various activities and add more Extrusion Presses with a view to meet with the growing range of market and products.

Accordingly, the Company is expanding its casting facilities,adding certain equipments and has already placed the order for 3rd extrusion press and project is in progress. 


OUTLOOK AND OPPORTUNITIES: 


The strengths of the Company are varied and sound base of the customers, complete attention for customers' delight and locational advantage whereby the company can have an edge to get better and higher realisation. 
The growth in End-User Industries i.e. Automobiles, Electrical Equipments, Architectural, Consumer Goods and Infrastructure is going to give a further boost to the prospects of more opportunities to the company to open up its operating capacities and horizons which are already coupled with built up goodwill and continued support of reputed and multinational customers. 


The ongoing change in global scenario,economic and industrial outlook would keep pace in demand for company's products which would facilitate the Company to streamline the pricing strategy. 


Presently the Company is only in one segment i.e. Aluminium Extrusions and its Down Stream Value Added Products. 
 
BIFR SCHEME AND OUT OF PURVIEW: 


At Bench review hearing of BIFR held in Mumbai on 22.11.2007, the Syndicate Bank was directed to submit a Draft Modified Revised Scheme by taking into consideration,among other things, the issue of shares on preferential basis to the promoters of the company whereby the company's net worth would become positive by 31.03.2008 based on profit projections for 2007-2008, instead of 2008-2009. Accordingly, the Company had submitted revised DMRS, in consultation with SB which was submitted by Syndicate Bank by the end of March, 2008 to BIFR for its onward consideration. However, eventually, the Company's net worth(exceed the accumulated losses) has become positive from its profits earned in the year ended 31/03/2008 itself and hence it is not required to the company to wait for the Scheme getting sanctioned by BIFR and to operate upon it. 
 
Therefore, the Company is applying to BIFR and shall request the Board to issue an order that their company has ceased to be a Sick Industrial company within the meaning of section 3(1)(o) of the Sick Industrial Companies (special provisions) Act and no longer requires to be dealt with the Board and hence to close their case.
