OPERATIONS

 

The Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing value added products including LAM Coke, High Carbon Ferro Chrome, Pig Iron, Sponge Iron and Special Steel Billets / Blooms, Bars and Wire Rods. In addition, the Company generates Power mainly for captive use. During the year, the Company’s financial performance has been adversely affected due to the non-availability of raw material, increasing raw material costs, high bank interest rates and volatile foreign exchange. Due to shortage in availability of iron ore, Iron and Steel making facilities, i.e. Blast Furnace, DRI, SMS and Rolling Mill operated at very low production level and the Company was unable to achieve its revenue potential.

 

The Company has registered a revenue growth of 3% to Rs.13918.96 million in the FY’2011-12 compared to Rs.13466.45 million during the FY’2010- 11. The operating margins decreased to 8% at Rs.1060.62 million in the FY’2011-12 versus 18% at Rs.2376.09 million in the previous year. The PBT fell from Rs.864.55 million for the FY’2010-11 to a loss of Rs.1964.85 million. PAT fell from Rs.513.77 million during the previous financial year to a loss of Rs.1188.54 million during the FY’2011-12.

 

During the year, the Company’s volumes were impacted by the uneconomical prices of Iron Ore and Chrome Ore. The production of Coke was 354,634 MT compared to 340,339 MT in the previous year. The production of High Carbon Ferro Chrome was lower at 22,368 MT compared to 44,372 MT during the previous year. The production of Pig Iron was 84,454 MT compared to 46,233 MT in the previous year. The production of Sponge Iron was 157,356 MT compared to 134,538 MT in the previous year. The captive power generated during the year was 435 million units as against 226 million units in the previous year and Steel production during the year was 45,772 MT.

 

The Company has decided to set up a 0.5 MTPA Iron Ore Sinter Plant in order to hedge the iron ore procurement as it is currently buying only sized iron ore. This would also ensure continuous smooth running of the Blast Furnace. The Iron Ore Sinter Plant would enhance the profitability of the Blast Furnace and would further reduce the cost of raw material and improve the productivity of the Steel making facilities.

 

The Company’s subsidiary – VISA BAO Limited, is setting up a 100,000 TPA Ferro Chrome Plant with 4 Submerged Arc Furnaces of 16.5 MVA each at Kalinganagar in Odisha. The Company has made significant progress towards implementation of the project and the project is scheduled to be completed in phases during second half of the financial year 2012-13.

 

SUBSIDIARIES

 

The Company has two subsidiaries namely, VISA BAO Limited and Ghotaringa Minerals Limited:

 

(i)       VISA BAO Limited (VBL) is a Joint Venture between the Company and Baosteel Resources Company Limited, China. VBL is setting up a 100,000 TPA Ferro Chrome Plant in Odisha.

 

(ii)     Ghotaringa Minerals Limited (GML) is a Joint Venture between the Company and Orissa Industries Limited (ORIND) for assisting ORIND for developing a chrome ore deposit and is awaiting various Government approvals.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW

 

During the financial year 2011-12, the Company’s performance has been adversely affected due to non availability of raw material, increasing raw material cost, high interest rates and volatile foreign exchange. During

the financial year 2011-12, the Company registered a 3% growth in revenues to Rs.13,918.96 million, but a 55% drop in EBIDTA to Rs.1,060.62 million. PAT fell from Rs.513.77 million during the previous financial year to a loss of Rs.1,188.54 million during the financial year 2011-12.

 

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

STEEL INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

The global economy is witnessing another period of uncertainty due to the European Sovereign debt crisis. The increase in inflation in emerging economies has led to a sharp hike in interest rates, which has resulted in slowdown in demand. The global financial uncertainty has also resulted in volatility in exchange rates.

 

The global Steel industry has witnessed reasonable demand growth and Steel making capacities have gradually shifted to emerging markets such as China and India. However, the high cost of raw materials and increased volatility in prices has put pressure on margins.

 

The Steel industry in India has suffered due to non availability and high prices of Iron Ore which has impacted Steel production. The Iron Ore mining ban in Karnataka and subsequent impact in Iron Ore production in Goa and Odisha has forced many Steel Companies to operate at reduced capacities and even close down operations. It is expected that the raw material constraints shall ease towards second half of FY’2012-13 and mines will gradually get back to normal production.

 

The Government of India has imposed an export tax of 30% on export of Iron Ore and Chrome Ore which should discourage exports and encourage value addition within the Country. The removal of 5% import duty on thermal coal is also a relief for the Sponge Iron based Steel producers.

 

The Indian economy is expected to grow at 7.6% in 2012-13 against 6.9% in 2011-12. The economy is likely to grow significantly over the next decade driven by the infrastructure (power, road, railways, ports etc.) and consumption (automobile, real estate etc.) sectors which will result in sustained growth in demand for various Iron and Steel products.

 

The States of Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand which account for majority of the Iron Ore and Coal reserves in the Country will remain the most attractive locations for setting up Iron and Steel manufacturing capacity.

 

The Odisha Government is currently reviewing the renewal of all expired mining leases which are operating under deemed extension, which will offer an opportunity for Steel producers in Odisha. Meanwhile, the draft MMDR Bill is also under discussion.

 

COMPANY OVERVIEW

 

The Company’s current saleable products include Iron and Steel products such as LAM Coke, High Carbon Ferro

Chrome, Pig Iron, Sponge Iron and Special Steel Billets / Blooms, Bars and Wire Rods. In addition, the Company

generates power mainly for captive use.

 

BUSINESS REVIEW

 

The Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing value added products including LAM Coke, High Carbon Ferro Chrome, Pig Iron, Sponge Iron and Special Steel Billets / Blooms, Bars and Wire Rods. In addition, the Company generates power mainly for captive use.

 

The manufacturing facilities of the Company are situated at Kalinganagar which includes Coke Oven, Ferro Chrome, Blast Furnace, Sponge Iron, Power and Special Steel and at Golagaon in Odisha where the Chrome Ore Beneficiation and Chrome Ore Grinding Plants are located.

 

During the year, the Company’s financial performance has been adversely affected due to the non-availability of raw material, increasing raw material costs, high bank interest rates and volatile foreign exchange. Due to shortage in availability of iron ore, Iron and Steel making facilities, i.e. Blast Furnace, DRI, SMS and Rolling Mill operated at very low production level and the Company was unable to achieve its revenue potential.

 

 

IRON AND STEEL PRODUCTS

 

(a)    LAM COKE

 

The Coke Oven Plant, with a total capacity of 400,000 TPA, operates on the stamp-charging technology which allows blending of semi-soft and semi-hard Coking Coals with prime hard Coking Coals to produce Low Ash Metallurgical Coke.

 

The total coke production during 2011-12 was 354,634 MT compared to 340,339 MT in 2010-11. Coking coal, the primary raw material for producing coke, was imported from Australia. Coke was partly consumed in the Blast Furnace and partly sold with total sales contribution amounting to Rs.5,659.30 million, equating to 40% of total revenues.

 

(b)    FERRO CHROME

 

The Ferro Chrome Plant, with a total capacity of 50,000 TPA produced 22,368 MT of Ferro Chrome in 2011-12 compared to 44,372 MT in 2010-11. The main raw material is Chrome Ore, Coke and Power. Ferro Chrome is sold to various Special and Stainless Steel Plants in India and globally. The sales contributed 10% of total revenues during the year amounting to Rs.1,415.88 million.

 

(c)     PIG IRON

 

The Blast Furnace with a total capacity of 225,000 TPA is currently producing Hot Metal which is poured into moulds to produce Pig Iron. Hot Metal / Pig Iron was partly consumed for making Special Steel and partly sold to various Steel and foundry customers in eastern and northern India.

 

The total hot metal production during 2011-12 was 84,454 MT as compared to 46,233 MT of hot metal in 2010-11.

 

Pig iron sales contributed to 13% of the total revenues of the Company during the year, amounting to Rs.1,826.19 million.

 

(d)    SPONGE IRON

 

The Sponge Iron Plant having capacity of 300,000 TPA produced 157,356 MT during 2011-12 of Sponge Iron as against 134,538 MT of Sponge Iron during 2010-11. It has contributed 20% of the total revenues amounting to Rs.2,890.01 million.

 

The main raw materials for Sponge Iron Plant are Iron Ore and Thermal Coal. Iron Ore is procured mainly from OMC and JSPL. Thermal Coal is procured from Mahanadi Coalfields Limited and also imported from South Africa.

 

(e)    POWER

 

The Power Plant produced 435 million KWH of power during the year 2011-12 as against 226 million KWH produced during 2010-11. The Power produced was mainly used captively.

 

(f)      SPECIAL STEEL

 

The Steel production was 45,772 MT during the year 2011-12.

 

 

PROJECT OVERVIEW

 

The availability and pricing of raw materials mainly Iron Ore has been a major challenge for the Company and has impacted the Special Steel operations. In view of the same, the Company has decided to set up an Iron Ore Sinter Plant in order to hedge the iron ore procurement as it is currently buying only sized iron ore. This would also ensure continuous smooth running of the Blast Furnace and consequently the Special Steel Plant. The Iron Ore Sinter Plant would enhance the profitability of the Blast Furnace and would reduce the cost of raw material and improve the productivity of the Steel making facilities.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

India has immense potential for creating new steel capacity. Indian per capita steel consumption is presently very low compared to world average which further re-confirms the opportunities for steel demand to continue accelerating in the times ahead. The Company with a well diversified product portfolio is well poised to take advantage of the growth in the demand for Special Steel products, Coke and Ferro Chrome.

Commenting on the performance for Q1 FY’2011-12, Mr. Vishal Agarwal, Managing Director, VISA Steel, said -

 

“Our financial performance during Q1 FY’2011-12 registered a sharp growth in sales revenue due to increase in price realization and production volumes. Operating margins have been lower due to higher cost of raw material such as Coking Coal, Iron Ore and Chrome Ore.

 

VISA Steel has completed the full integration of the manufacturing facilities for 0.5 million TPA Special Steel Plant and has emerged among the leading special steel players in the Country. As the production volumes ramp up over the coming quarters, we expect revenues and profitability to improve.

 

VISA BAO Limited, a Joint Venture between VISA Steel and Baosteel, which is setting up a 100,000 TPA Ferro Chrome Plant at Kalinganagar in Orissa has made significant progress towards implementation of the project and expects to commission the Plant in phases from March 2012 onwards.”
