OPERATIONS

 

Despite on-going recessionary situation in early FY 09-10 which has caused average realization of steel products lower by 17% over that of its preceding year, the organization has taken various steps which has resulted in 60% improvement in Sales Volume of Steel Products and 10% improvement in sales volume of Seamless Pipes in FY 09-10 over that of FY 08-09. Some of the noteworthy Plant Improvements include Installation of Continuous DRI feeding system- which has brought in savings in manufacturing cost as well as stability in production, Outsourcing of smaller size rolled products to vendors -which has resulted in increased through-put of their rolling mill and recent Installation of LRF transformer which started showing results of reduced cycle time in steel thereby reducing the cost of steel making. Preventive Maintenance system has been further strengthened across all production processes which has resulted in increased production level of quality material.

 

By diversifying sales into Bearing, power, Defense and railway segments from hitherto Auto and General Engineering Segments, their product mix got a wider spread. they have also started developing niche products especially, high grade special steels (Creep Resistance Steel, Ball Bearing Steels, Low Phosphorous and Low Sulphur Nickel Chrome, Mo Steels and Round Ingots) to maximize sales and profitability. The newly installed heat-treatment furnace would aid in strengthening quality of these niche products.

 

In view of the above steps taken, the Company expects improvement in performance as compared to previous year.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE and DEVELOPMENT

 

The year 2009 was not favorable for the steel industry as production dipped in response to weak demand from end— user industries. However, amidst the turmoil in the global industry, China and India stood apart with positive growth at the time when the world was reeling under demand pressures. Even other BRIC countries — Brazil and Russia didn’t put up a good show with production down y-o-y.

 

The World Steel Association in its April 2010 forecast of “Short range outlook for Steel for 2010 and 2011” estimates that apparent steel usage will increase by 10.7% to 1241 Million tones after contracting by -6.7% in 2009. The report says that Indian Steel Demand Maintained stable growth during 2009 crisis and is expected to grow by 13.9% and 13.7% in 2010 and 2011 respectively after 7.7% in 2009, indicating that the worst is behind them.

 

The key drivers of growth would be significant investments toward large scale public infrastructure development, including roads, ports, power plants, airports, etc., as well as increasing levels of urbanization generating demand for housing, automobiles and white goods.

CARE maintains ratings on RMGL's bank facilities BB/PR4

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

9 February 2011 - India'sCARE yesterday reaffirmed the ratings assigned to the long and short-term bank facilities of Remi Metals Gujarat Limited (BOM:500365), or (RMGL), at BB and PR4, respectively.

 

The agency issued the following press release:

 

Ratings

 

Facilities                                               Amount (Rs. crore)         Ratings                         Remarks

Long-term Bank Facilities                                   198.00               'CARE BB' [Double B]  Reaffirmed

Short-term Bank Facilities                                  175.00              'PR4' [PR Four]              Reaffirmed

Total Facilities                                                   373.00

 

Rating Rationale

 

The ratings continue to be constrained by the relatively small size of RMGL's operations with limited product offering, operational inefficiencies of the seamless pipe plant leading to operating losses, RMGL continuing to be under the purview of the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) and its stressed debt coverage indicators.

 

The ratings, however, draw strength from the financial support provided by the Welspun Group through regular infusion of funds into RMGL and the benefits arising out of association with the group with respect to raw material sourcing, marketing arrangements and maintenance of the manufacturing facilities as well as improvement in the operating efficiency of steel manufacturing facilities.

 

RMGL's ability to improve the operational efficiency of the seamless pipe plant along with the profitability as well as to turn its networth positive and come out of the purview of BIFR are the key rating sensitivities.

 

Company Background

 

Promoted by Mr. V.C. Saraf and Mr. R.C. Saraf, RMGL is engaged in manufacturing of carbon and alloy steel seamless pipes/tubes with captive facilities for steel melting and continuous bloom/ingot casting at Jhagadia, Gujarat. Due to inefficiencies in the plant on account of lack of critical equipment, the operations of the company were unprofitable. Subsequently, the company became a sick unit in August 1999 and came under the purview of BIFR. In 2009, the Welspun group was inducted as a strategic partner of RMGL for revival of the company.
