The Zinc from Hydro plants & Lead products are registered with the London Metal Exchange. Hydro I is a 100% Export Oriented Undertaking. Chanderiya Smelting Complex is located about 110 kilometers north of Udaipur, in the State of Rajasthan, India and is very well connected by both rail and roadways.

 

POWER

 

They have strategically installed Captive Power Plants (CPP) to cater to the power requirement of the smelters and mines. They have thermal Captive Power Plants at Chanderiya and Zawar with power generation capacity of 314 MW. In addition they also generate power from the Diesel Generation (DG) units installed at Debari, Chanderiya and Zawar with a total power generation capacity of 35.62 MW. With respect to the green energy initiative projects, they have 123.2 MW wind power plants in the State of Gujarat and Karnataka.

 

They also generate power from the waste heat generated from Roasters. They have 20.2 MW of power generation capacity from waste heat recovery. Any surplus power generated is sold to State grid and power

exchanges, thereby helping the power deficit state of Rajasthan.

 

To further consolidate the Power generation capacity in correspondence to the requirement of the upcoming smelting complex in Dariba, they are in the process of commissioning a 160 MW (2X80) captive power plant at the same location; this will enhance the thermal power generation capacity from the present 314 MW to 474

MW. The erection and commissioning activity in CPP at Dariba Smelting Complex (DSC) is under progress and is well on track for scheduled completion. Operations and maintenance of the power plants have been outsourced to the world’s renowned power plant maintenance and operations companies.

 

As a part of the power cost reduction measures, they have taken various initiatives to decrease the cost of Coal, the main cost driver, including obtaining Coal via Coal linkages, optimizing the blend of Indian and imported Coal, keeping the auxiliary consumption at a minimum and operating the power plants at a high plant load factor

(PLF). The CPP units in Chanderiya and Zawar have maintained consistency in generation by generating more than the installed capacity; they have achieved 100% PLF and look to further achieve more PLF with completion of improvement initiatives in that direction. As a part of the efficiency drive, CILMS (Composite Islanding and Load Management System) was commissioned in May 2009 to keep Chanderiya station immune from heavy system disturbances, which had the potential to cause generation loss/equipment damage.

 

Wind Power Plants

 

They have 123.2 MW of wind power generation capacity in the state of Gujarat (88.8MW) and Karnataka (34.4MW). Both these plants are functioning efficiently and feeding electricity to the respective state grids.

 

The wind energy mills have the state-of-theart gearless synchronous wind turbine generator technology which facilitates higher power generation. During the year, they produced 219.1 Million Units of wind power, marginally lower as compared to FY 2009. The wind energy projects in Gujarat and Karnataka have achieved the second highest per Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) power generation amongst the peer group. The wind energy projects at Gujarat and Karnataka are registered under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC’s) Kyoto protocol for Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). Both the wind projects are registered with a CER potential of 223,000 per annum.

 

In addition, advanced mineral exploration technologies have been introduced. Hyperspectral data were utilized for mineral alteration mapping. Heliborne Magnetic and Electro-Magnetic surveys (VTEM) were flown over 1,500 km2 area. They have also pioneered to bring Deep Earth Imaging (Titan) technology in India to locate concealed opportunities, with completion of survey at three locations with promising results.

 

Coal

 

Coal is the most important raw material for the captive thermal power plants and the cost of Coal has a significant impact on the cost of production.

 

The captive power plants use a mix of Indian and imported Coal. They have taken various initiatives to maximize the percentage of Indian Coal in the plants. They are currently maintaining a fair combination of both Indigenous and Imported Coal as inputs to the Captive Power Plants. They have a Linkage Coal/ Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA) with South Eastern Coalfields Limited (a subsidiary of Coal India Limited). All of the domestic Coal comes through the linkage. The balance requirement of Imported Coal is currently being catered through imports from Indonesia & South Africa. The strategy is to procure Coal on TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) basis, to reduce the

ultimate cost per unit.

 

In addition, they secured in January 2006, as part of a consortium with five other partners, the award of a coal block from the Madanpur Coal Block; which is expected to help meet the coal requirements of the captive power plants in the future. The share in the coal block is 31.5 million tonnes, which, according to the Ministry of Coal of the Government of India, are proved reserves with ash content ranging from 28.7% to 47.0% and gross calorific value ranging from 3,865 Kcal/kg to 5,597 Kcal/kg.

 

The coal block is located in the Hasdev Arand coal field of Chhattisgarh which is falling under moderate to dense forest. The environment clearance and approval for forest diversion was rejected by the MOEF and accordingly letter of rejection was issued by the state government on 23.1.2010. Company had represented the matter to the Ministry. PMO office had constituted a committee of Secretaries under the Chairmanship of Chief Secretary to review the same.

 

GROWTH PROJECTS

 

During the year, they successfully completed the following projects:

 

  • Successfully commissioned the 210 ktpa Hydro Zinc smelter in Dariba Smelting Complex.

 

  • Successfully commissioned the 1 mtpa concentrator at Rampura Agucha. The expansion projects announced in FY 2009, in line with achieving the stated production capacity goal of one million tonnes of metal per annum,  The 210 ktpa Hydro zinc smelter at Dariba was successfully commissioned in March 2010, a quarter ahead of schedule. SHG Zinc (99.995%) was produced on the fourth day from commissioning. 1 mtpa concentrator at Rampura Agucha was also commissioned successfully in March 2010, around three months ahead of schedule. The total Zinc and Lead metal production capacity now stands at 964 ktpa.

 

The work at the 100 ktpa lead smelter and the 160MW CPP at Dariba, is progressing well for scheduled completion in Q2 FY2011.

 

The Sindesar Khurd mine project is also on schedule for progressive expansion to 1.50 mtpa. They will also progressively increase the Silver production from the current levels of 180 tonnes per annum to a level of approximately 500 tonnes per annum. Post completion of the 100 ktpa lead smelter, they will become the world’s largest integrated zinc-lead producer having total Zinc-Lead metal production capacity of 1,064 ktpa.

in Q2 FY2010.

 

Operational Performance

 

During Q2, the company achieved its highest ever zinc and lead mined metal production at 204,836 tonnes, up around 6% compared with the corresponding prior quarter, primarily on account of stabilization of the new

concentrator at Rampura Agucha.

 

During the same period, zinc refined metal production was highest ever at 176,239 tonnes, up around 25% compared with the corresponding prior quarter. The increase in the production was primarily on account of contribution from the new 210 ktpa Hydro Zinc smelter at the Dariba, which contributed around 39,000

tonnes in Q2.

 

Refined Lead metal production increased 20% to 16,167 compared with the corresponding prior quarter.

 

Refined silver production during Q2 was 43,953 kilograms, an increase of around 9% compared with the corresponding prior quarter. The increase in production was primarily on account of higher silver content in the mined ore and improved plant efficiencies.

 

Financial Performance

 

Revenues and net profit for Q2 were Rs 21630.000 Millions and Rs 9490.000 Millions, an increase of around 21% and 2% respectively, compared with the corresponding prior quarter. The increase was primarily on account of higher volumes and improved LME prices. The silver realization for Q2 was Rs 1080.000 millions.

 

The positive impact of higher volumes and improved LME prices was partly offset by the impact of increase in coke and coal costs, increase in commodity prices and higher stripping cost at mines. As a result of the same, net zinc metal cost with royalty, during the quarter was Rs. 45,000 per MT (US$ 977), an increase of 21% compared with the corresponding prior quarter.

 

During Q2, average zinc and lead LME prices were $2,013 per tonne and $2,032 per tonne respectively, compared with $1,757 per tonne and $1,925 per tonne, in the corresponding prior quarter.

 

 

Expansion Projects

 

The 100 ktpa lead smelter at the Dariba Smelting Complex is expected to be commissioned by Q3 FY11. Primary mine development activity at Sindesar Khurd Mine (SKM) project is also on schedule. The new 1.50 mtpa mill at SKM is expected to commence production by end of Q3 FY11. We remain on track to achieve a capacity of 500 tonnes of silver by FY 2013.

 

Liquidity and investment

 

Company follows a conservative Investment Policy and invests in high quality Debt instruments in Mutual Fund and Fixed Deposit with Bank. As at 30 September 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of Rs. 122130.000 Millions, out of which Rs. 74380.000 Millions was invested in debt mutual funds and Rs. 47750.000 Millions were in fixed deposits with Banks.
