Subject uses the world-renowned CPE technology and is capable of producing size range from 3/4' OD to 7' OD in hot finished and from 10 mm OD to 108 mm OD in cold drawn and cold pilgered condition. Besides seamless pipes and tubes, the company also makes large diameter Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) pipes from size 8' to 20' and wall thickness from 3.2 mm to 12.70 mm. About 20 per cent of the production of subject is exported to USA and 7 per cent to other countries. The Company had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for continuous supply of Steel Billets in the year 1994-95. Subject agreed with Salosha Investments and Financial Services Limited and Shree Ambaji Properties Limited during the year 1995-96 for manufacturing activities. In September of the year 2000 the company's new project of Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) Pipes for producing 4' OD to 21' OD ERW Pipes with an installed capacity of 50,000 M.T. per annum at Pipe Nagar, Maharashtra was commissioned. In the year 2001-02, the company production capacity was doubled from 50,000 MT to 1, 00,000 MT. During the year 2004-2005, the company entered into joint venture with Hydril LP to manufacture premium joint connections to facilitate company consolidation in both domestic and international market of seamless pipes by going to new export avenues. In same year of 2004-2005 the company expanded its production facilities, using plug mill technology supported by world class revelers, to manufacture for the first time in India, large size seamless pipes of diameter upto 14 inches and wall thickness upto 40 mm. As on 4th January 2008, the company acquired seamless plant in Romania with an installed capacity of 200,000 TPA. In the same year, the company opened its export branch in USA to facilitate better services and customer support to its large base of Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) and Line pipe customers in USA, Canada and Latin America. In June of the same year 2008, subject had bagged export orders worth USD 45 million from USA. The company has also received domestic order worth Rs 860 million from Indian Oil Corporation (IOC). Subject plans to set up a 1 million ton per year billet plant in Maharashtra to feed its planned seamless pipe expansion. The backward integration project at Dubri in Orissa is part of subject's aim to increase pipe capacity to 5, 00,000 tons per year from the current 3, 50,000 tons. The proposed steel plant will manufacture billets for captive consumption. Estimated to cost USD 44.8 million (about Rs 1800 million), the project involves relocation of the firm's newly acquired pipe plant in Romania to India.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Total turnover of the Company during the year was Rs.16912.200 millions against Rs.21835.100 millions in the previous year. The profit before tax for the year was Rs.4311.000 millions as against Rs.3850.300 millions in the previous year. The profit after tax and adjustments for the year was Rs.2845.900 millions as against Rs.2578.400 millions in the previous year.

 

The lower turnover was mainly on account of reduced sale prices of the products owing to decline in raw material cost, without affecting the profitability margins.

 

The Company has primarily two segments - Steel Pipes and Tubes and Wind Power. Both segments contribute positively to the profitability of the Company. The contribution of Steel Pipes and Tubes Division is over 89% of the total Profit before Tax. Wind Power Project of the Company is meeting around 12% of Power requirement and has helped in reducing over all cost of power.

 

EXPANSION PLANS

 

The erection work of 6” Seamless Pipe Plant at Mangaon is on schedule and is likely to be completed during the current fiscal. This would also enable the Company to increase the total installed capacity to 5.5 Lac Ton for Seamless Pipes. The plant has the facility to manufacture Drill Pipe which is a value added product.

 

The Government of Maharashtra has conferred the status of “Mega Project” to Company’s aforesaid project, which would enable the Company to avail various incentives from the Government of Maharashtra in due course of time.

 

BACKWARD INTEGRATION PROJECT

 

The Company is committed for its backward integration project to make steel billets, with a capacity of 1.0 million ton in phases. A suitable location is being looked at for this Project.

 

Ministry of Coal, Government of India, has also allocated a Non Coking Coal Block to subject near Nagpur (Maharashtra), which is an important raw material to produce DRI required for Steel making. The Company is successfully moving for its Coal Blocks Project near Nagpur in a Joint Venture Company named Gondkhari Coal Mining Limited

 

Thus the Company will have better control on cost of production of Seamless pipes and poised for a good positioning in Seamless pipe industry.

 

DIRECTORS

 

Shri U. C. Agarwal and Shn D. K. Parikh, Directors of the Company, retire by rotation at the ensuing Annual General Meeting and being eligible, offer themselves for reappointment.

 

The Board of Directors has reappointed Shri SaketJindal as Managing Director of the Company for a period of five years w.e.f. 1st April, 20 0. The Board of Directors has also reappointed Shri S. P. Raj as Wholetime Director of the Company for a period of five years w.e.f. 1St October, 2010.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The statement in the Directors’ Report and Management Discussion and Analysis Report contains “forward-looking statements” about the business, financial performance, skills and prospects of the Company. Statements about the plans, intentions, expectations, beliefs, estimates, predictions or similar expression for future are forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements should be viewed in the context of many risk issues, and events that could cause the actual performance to be different from that contemplated in the Directors’ Report and Management Discussion and Analysis Report, including but not limited to, the impact of changes in oil, Steel prices worldwide and domestic, economic and political conditions. They cannot assure that outcome of this forward-looking statements will be realized. The Company disclaims any duty to update the information given in the aforesaid reports.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Global sentiments have shown slight recovery towards the beginning of 2009 after the steep slowdown. However demand recovery is still undermined by short to medium term uncertainties emerging from global market conditions. The demand for raw materials and employment in US is still facing setback, which is being debated at different forums.

 

India continues to be a major export hub to countries like the US, Europe and the Middle East. In Asia, since China has experienced rapid economic growth. China’s pipe demand in general construction, as well as oil pipeline, electrical, water pipe and highway construction usages, has continued to increase, China’s pipe mills have exported lots of pipe to overseas markets. This has caused many countries to start limiting China’s exportation of pipe to their countries. The US Government has given final approval to anti- dumping duties on welded Steel line pipe from China which was being sold at unfairly low prices. Also, according to the news reports, European Union member States have approved a European Commission proposal to impose punitive tariffs on import of steel pipes from China.

 

EXPANSION PLANS

 

The erection work of 6’ Seamless Pipe Plant at Mangaon is in progress and is likely to be completed by the end of this fiscal. This would also enable the Company to increase the total installed capacity to 5.5 Lac Ton for Seamless Pipes. This will also have the facility of manufacturing Drill Pipe, which is a value added product. The Project has been awarded the status of “Mega Project” by State Government of Maharashtra.

 

BACKWARD INTEGRATION PROJECT

 

The Company is committed for its backward integration project and planning a Integrated Steel plant with an annual capacity of 1.0 million ton per annum of steel billets in phases, as it would offer complete control on cost, price, quality and delivery of its raw material. A suitable location is being looked at for the Project The Company is, however, successfully moving for its Coal Blocks Project near Nagpur in a Joint Venture Company named Gondkhari Coal Mining Limited

 

OPPORTUNITIES and THREATS

 

Growing energy demand coupled with heavy investment in the Power Sector promises higher revenue for Indian steel pipe makers. Globally, pipes are the most economical way to transport oil and gas. Consistently rising global demand of energy. especially in a developing country like India, would continue growth momentum in the steel pipe industry. In addition, the number of blocks. offered under various rounds of NELP will come into Drilling / Production over next couple of years. This will also offer a huge demand for Seamless Pipes.

 

Major oil marketing I transportation companies like GAIL IOCL etc. have plans to lay Pipelines across the length and breadth of the country and would result in a huge demand for welded pipes. The country’s domestic gas availability is expected to increase manifold in couple of years and would require huge infrastructure for domestic Pipelines.

 

Domestic Seamless Pipe Industry has approached Government of India to ensure level playing field in the domestic market against the cheaper imports of pipes from China. The Government of India has already initiated the investigation against dumping of Seamless pipes in the Country by China and Anti Dumping Duty is likely to be imposed.

 

SEGMENT-WISE PERFORMANCE

 

The Company has primarily two segments - Steel Pipes and Tubes and Wind Power. Both segments contribute positively to the profitability of the Company. The contribution of Steel Pipes and Tubes Division is over 89 % of the total Profit before Tax. Wind Power Project of the Company is meeting around 12 % of Power requirement and has helped in reducing over all cost of power.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Global demand for Seamless Pipes from Oil and Gas Industry has recovered owing to increase in Rig counts and E and P activities. Domestic Oil companies are also moving on with their ongoing project and Exploration and production activities. Some competition in the Domestic market for Seamless Pipe is expected from Imports. which could have bearing on both revenues and margins. The company is now putting up intensive and aggressive marketing approach by expanding customer base both in domestic as well as international markets to improve its competitive edge.
