OPERATIONS

 

In the financial year 2009-10, the operational and other income went up by over 17%. The year ended with an operational and other income of Rs.2653.700 millions (Rs.2261.900 millions)*.

 

The Company’s Sales and Income during the financial year 2009-10 comprised of the following:

  • Welding Consumables at Rs.1960.100 millions (Rs.1651.700 millions)*
  • Equipment and Project Engineering at Rs.647.300 millions (Rs.586.700 millions)*
  • Other Income at Rs.46.300 millions (Rs.23.600 millions)*

 

DOMESTIC BUSINESS

 

Welding Consumables

 

Domestic Sales of Consumables recorded a volume growth of 57% over the previous year. This was driven by aggressive Sales policies, market demand and the expansion of their reach to more and more end-users / project sites. Their product portfolio expansion in wires and fluxes, were key to this success.

 

Welding Equipment and Project Engineering

 

The Welding Equipment / Accessories / spares volume business grew by 63% over the previous year. The Project engineering business grew by 50% over the last year. The volume growths were facilitated by the strategic cost reduction projects successfully implemented across most products for mass markets as well as aggressive sales initiatives taken to increase market share.

 

EXPORTS

 

During the year, there has been a decline in their exports compared to the previous year. The Export Income during the financial year 2009-10 was at Rs.248.200 millions (Rs.327.600 millions)* Since their main exports have been to the Oil producing Gulf countries, the slow-recovery in the oil-based economies in these countries has adversely affected their business. Similarly impact of recession in UAE has also contributed to the decline in the sale. They are in the process of restructuring their business in countries of Saudi Arabia / Africa and some of the South East Asian nations, with an effective distribution system with pre-and-post sales support to the customers / end users.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

BUSINESS SCENARIO

The year saw the Company achieve a growth of around 17% over last year. The over all market opportunities were better as compared to the earlier year. The Indian Economy grew at an annual GDP rate of around 7%. The Company could achieve a better PBT from the unprecedented sales volume growth and strong cost control measures undertaken. The stable steel prices also contributed to some extent. The Company successfully followed high impact strategies which included conserving cash, driving down the cost of goods sold, getting closer to customers and improving per employee productivity.

 

The economy in the Current Year is expected to continue to gradually improve and is expected to attain a reasonable GDP growth level by the HY2 of this year. The emphasis on accelerating infrastructure growth is a good augury for their business and they are fully geared to meet the requirements.

 

The new submerged – Arc Flux Line has been commissioned which will substantially improve their business of consumables in the current year. The Company is also in the process of introducing several new products which will generate a sizeable turnover in the coming years. The additional investments in the coming year in R and

D and manufacturing facilities will help us grow their business substantially.

The Company is currently working on many interesting projects, at the instance of key customers – in the areas of nuclear power, fossil power plants with lower emissions, high temperature and creep resistant properties consumables, low-cost automation solutions for accelerating power equipment delivery cycles, more efficient and reliable steel construction for the infrastructure sector and modern production lines for shipyards and offshore fabrication yards.

 

The Company continues to invest in significant resources in R and D. The R and D expenditure is expected to go up substantially in the coming year.

 

OUTLOOK, CONCERNS and RISKS – and their RESPONSE

 

Welding will play a vital role in the growth of infrastructure of their country be it Railways, Bridges, Power Plants, Refineries, Shipyards or Pipe Lines. At least 100 industries are involved in projects related to welding activities. Major projects in diversified sectors like Steel, Power, Chemicals, Railways, etc. promise a lot, in terms of growth, in Welding Industries in India. This will further boost the market size of Rs.25,000 millions of Welding Industry. Indian Welding Market will have extensive use for stainless steel solid and FCAW wires and other special consumables. Similarly potential for welding equipment, and low cost as well as highend automation aids to speed-up welding productivity will provide many opportunities for growth. With an estimated investment of Rs.400,000 millions in infrastructure in Government Plan, welding industry in general and the Company in particular is gearing up to meet the challenges.

 

The Competition meanwhile continues to be challenging. More international players are establishing bases in India. With globalisation of the Indian market, the Company has also taken steps to develop partnerships with global experts, academicians and engineers to expand their technology base, product portfolio and markets. Their technical experts constantly participate in various welding forums, seminars, exhibitions in India and abroad.

 

The major challenges faced by local market are the unorganised imports of welding products, specifically equipment of non-standard specifications and safety aspects. This is over and above the unequal competition from the domestic unorganized sector in the mass market products. The other challenge will be instability in steel prices and currency exchange rates.
