LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

OPERATIONS

 

Ferro alloy products are used in the production of steel as de-oxidant and alloying agents and the Ferro alloys industry acts an intermediate industry to the Iron and Steel industry. As a result the demand and prices of ferro alloys depend on the production and consumption of stainless steel.

 

With recessionary effects gradually disappearing ferro alloys market has recovered considerably from the sluggish performance in second half of 2008-09 to register a production growth of 7.20% during the fiscal 2009-10 [as per Indian Ferro Alloys Producers Association (IFAPA)]. The growth was primarily driven by the local demand coupled with demand from overseas especially from China. However, lately ferro alloys demand in China is taking a hit as steel producers are cutting down on production due to falling prices and softening demand. The industry continues to be plagued by high power tariff and lower capacity utilization due to high cost of production. The recent rise in demand is being offset by high electricity, power cuts and raw material costs. Although, government has taken measures to reduce input costs but the cost of power still remains very high as a result of which ferro chrome produced in India is comparatively expensive in the international market.

 

Although capital intensive, the Captive power generation for large scale producers of ferro alloys holds the key. Accordingly, a number of ferro alloy producers are setting up captive power plants. The company’s turnover for the current financial year, 2009-10 stands at Rs. 3485.760 Millions as against Rs.3102.262 Millions last year, posting an increase of 12.36%. Exports during the year saw a rise of 52.04% at Rs. 20834.88 Millions as against Rs. 1370.377 Millions last year. Profit before tax stands at Rs. 234.924 Millions as against Rs.466.148 Millions in the previous year, recording a decline of 49.60%.

 

 

FINANCE

 

The Company has not raised any deposit from public during the year.

 

PROSPECTS

 

Fortunes of Ferro Alloys Industry are linked to that of the Steel Industry. With the growth of Indian economy being pegged at 8-10 percent. Steel production is likely to witness growth with increase in per capita consumption of steel which is presently lowest in the world. Considering the stabilization of economy in various parts of the world especially in steel and infrastructure industry the prospects of ferro alloys industry for the coming years are expected to remain good. During the year the Indian ferro alloys industry registered a production growth of 7.20% and is projected to maintain it. Global crude stainless steel production for 2008-09 was at 24.6 million tonnes, a fall of 5% compared with 2007-08. Total output for the first quarter of this year is estimated at almost 7.5 million tonnes, which is 54.6% higher than the corresponding quarter of 2009-10. Forecast for Global output in calendar year 2010 is 28.5 million tonnes. The major stainless steel producing nations viz. China, South Korea and Taiwan, have continued to operate at close to full capacity in recent months. Production levels in India too continue at record levels. With power shortage in South Africa hitting India is now being seen as a hub for Ferro Alloys Industry. Also, strong demand from Stainless Steel makers, tightened ferro chrome supplies, rising power cost and higher raw material costs including chrome ore and coke are likely to strengthen the ferro chrome industry. Also the steps taken by the Government of India to boost the sentiments of the manufacturing industry in general and iron and steel industry in particular, provide an indication for the future of Indian ferro alloys industry. Government is exercising required control for export of friable Chrome Ore to ensure availability of this important raw material for production of High Carbon Ferro Chrome by imposing excise duty on chrome ore and restricting exports. However, the impact of power reforms on ferro alloy producers is difficult to assess, as the electricity market still seems to be in a state of flux.

 

FUTURE STRATEGY AND GROWTH

 

The first phase covering 45MW of the 100 MW captive thermal power plant set up by Facor Power Limited is already in the process of commissioning which, barring unforeseen circumstances, is likely to go on stream by end of December, 2010. Further, the  Company also views the power sector as the growth drivers of the company and is looking for strategic investment in companies in the business of thermal and/or solar power generation and distribution. Also, the  company is also looking at forward integration by way of setting up green field projects, acquisitions, joint ventures etc.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE, DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS

 

The Indian ferro alloys industry is more than five decades old and the present installed capacity is 3.64 million tons per annum. Being an intermediate industry to the Iron and  Steel industry the growth of ferro alloys industry is primarily driven by the demand and supply of steel. Being a power intensive one, electricity costs accounts for substantial portion of the cost of production. Despite attempts to have uniform tariff fixed for all ferro alloy units across states, the industry continues to be plagued by high electricity costs. As a result it also loses out on competitiveness in the international markets to producers from countries like South Africa, Kazakhistan, Russia, China etc. where power costs are 2-3 times lower than the prevailing rates in India. Chrome ore. Manganese Ore and LAM Coke are the raw materials that go into the production Ferro Alloys products. Unavailability of low Phospherous Coke in the domestic market renders the company to depend on imports which, in turn, increases the cost of production further. As a result the ferro alloys product manufactured in India is dearer in the international market.

 

With gradual easing of recessionary forces and stimulus measures provided by the Government to the manufacturing industries, industrial production has grown at double digit figures since second quarter of 2009-10 to May 2010 with its peak at 16.52% in April, 2010 and is expected to grow at the rate of 9% for fiscal 2010-11. However, the current rise in inflation may pose as a hindrance to achieve the expected growth figure. Further, the rise in fuel prices have led to increase in transportation costs triggering a cascading effect on the overall cost of final product.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Ferro alloys industry is a cyclical industry. To ensure that a healthy production growth is maintained certain exclusive stimulus/ relief needs to be provided by the Government by ensuring availability of all inputs, especially power, at internationally comparable prices to not only enable the domestic ferro alloys produce to compete in the international market but also against cheaper imported material flooding the domestic market. Though costs of some of the inputs were lowered by the Government, cost of power remains very high. Not much effective steps have, so far, been initiated by the Government to fix a uniform power tariff for all ferro alloy units across the states.

 

Further, the Indian Ferro Alloys Industry is facing problems on account of the following:

 

  • Import duty at present stands at 5% well below the World Trade Organisation's (WTO) recommended level of 7.5. A 2.5% hike should be made to the current rate.

 

  • Insufficient availability of good quality of Manganese ore and Chrome ore, the basic raw materials for production of ferro alloys.

 

  • High power tariff makes Indian ferro alloys non-competitive against produce of other competing countries like Russa, South Africa and Khazakistan

 

  • Considerable hike in LAM coke prices

 

  • Increase in transportation costs due to increase in fuel prices; and Highly fluctuating and volatile market

 

There is, thus, a need to consider implementing uniform power tariff for ferro alloys industry to make it economically viable and competitive as also make available raw materials like Manganese ore and Chrome ore in-sufficient quantity and required quality at reasonable prices. The major consumer of steel and ferro alloys, China has started cutting production due to falling prices and softening demand. This shall, as a result have an overall impact on the exports of ferro alloy products and producers in turn would have to look for the domestic consumers. Market for ferro alloy products on the domestic market seems good consequent to Minister of Steel's announcement to achieve 124 Million Tonnes steel capacity by 2011-12.. Further, with improvement in economies of Europe demand for Ferro alloys product is expected to get a boost
