LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

PRODUCTION
 
The Aluminium Smelter and Captive Power Plant of the Company recorded the highest-ever production since inception. The level of capacity utilization at Mines (100.5%), Refinery (98.8%), Smelter (96.4%) and CPP (91.7%) respectively was achieved at a satisfactory level for the year under

 

Drop in Alumina Hydrate production, during the year, was due to shut down of plant for pending maintenance jobs and attending hook-up jobs under expansion project . Bauxite transportation was in line with the demand of Alumina Refinery.

 

SALES
 
The will be pleased to know that The Company achieved the highest-ever domestic metal sale of 340,752 MT which was 17.9% higher than the last year, surpassing the previous record of 289,032 MT achieved in 2009-10. Total metal sale of The Company during the year under report was 438,952 MT, which is the highest-ever surpassing the previous best of 435,979MT achieved during the previous year. This has been possible due to rise in demand for aluminium and improvement in Company''s share in the domestic market. Besides, The  Company also widened its international customer base for metal by adding new overseas clients during the year.
 
In the value-added segment, the Company sold 20,126 MT of Rolled Products, which was the highest ever surpassing the previous highest sale of 15,092 MT achieved in 2009-10. During the year, The  Company exported 4,614 MT of billets, after a gap of almost a decade.
 
Higher production and sale of rolled products and billets resulted in increased share of value-added products in The Company''s operations. The Alumina/Hydrate sale of 681,917 MT during the year under report was 8.4% less than the previous year's sale of 744,069 MT, due to higher consumption in Smelter Plant for producing more aluminium metal, thereby resulting in less availability of alumina for sale compared to last year.
 
The domestic sale of Alumina and Special Grade Alumina at 16,411 MT and 7,635 MT respectively was the highest-ever recorded. In addition, domestic sale of total Chemicals (Alumina/Hydrate/Special Grade Alumina/Special Grade Hydrate/Zeolite) of 45,916 MT achieved during the year was the highest-ever surpassing the previous highest of 44,420 MT achieved in 2009-10.

 

FINANCE
 
They will be pleased to know that The Company has earned a net profit (after tax) of Rs.106.900 millions for the year, s compared to Rs.8140.000 millions for the previous year, recording an increase of 31%. Sales revenue during the year at Rs.59590.000 millions was 18% higher as compared to the previous year. The operating cost was higher by Rs.3990.000 millions, an increase of 10% over the previous year, due to increase in prices of coal, fuel oil and provisioning for wage revision. The profit before tax for the year was higher because of higher sales realization as compared to the previous production and sale of metal. The results would have been still better, but for the adverse impact of exchange rate of rupee on sales, which made a dent of Rs.1590.000 millions during the year.  The depreciation was higher by Rs.1030.000 millions due to commissioning of one more captive power unit during the year and provision for impairment.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

Economies of different countries started recovering after unprecedented sharp fall inFY'09. The recovery has been impressive but burdened with some element of uncertainty. As a result of FY'09 meltdown most of the producers in Aluminium Industry resorted to strategies in response to the situation faced such as curtailing production, closures, etc. However, some of these producers considering the improved situation have subsequently re-started these facilities.

 

ALUMINA AND CHEMICALS

 

During the year 2009, the world consumption of Alumina was 73.859 million MT against the world production of 74.309 million MT thus showing a surplus of 0.45 million MT. The world Alumina production and consumption declined by approx. 5.9 % and 5.8% respectively during 2009 as compared to 2008.

In 2009, the spot price of alumina averaged around $249 a tonne. Prices showed signs of recovery in Q1, 2010 to an average of $340 a tonne, which reflected the improved outlook for aluminium. The refinery curtailments during the first half of the year 2009 reduced availability thereby providing necessary impetus for alumina prices to rise from rock bottom level of $180/tonne. The recovery in aluminium prices triggering smelter restarts saw alumina prices recover to above $300/tonne level. Stronger demand mainly from smelterre starts and an unprecedented level of curtailments in refining capacity helped the market to return to balance during the course of the year. Delayed restarts and fresh commissioning of refineries helped in the balancing act of fundamentals.

Alumina demand and supply are expected to be balanced in medium term. Increase in bauxite and freight costs, as well as energy cost is likely to support the alumina price in medium-term

 

ALUMINIUM

 

During the year 2009, the world consumption of primary Aluminium was 34.341 million MT against world supply of 37.781 million MT, showing a surplus of 3.440 million MT. Theworld consumption declined drastically by approximately 8.2% while the supply declined by5.9% respectively during 2009 as compared to 2008.

Aluminium price averaged at $ 1664.8/T in 2009 which is 34% lower than the average price in 2008, primarily because of weaker demand for aluminium in major consuming countries. Lower consumption and a relatively weaker response from global aluminium production resulted in stocks build-up which stood at historical highs of 4.63 milliontonnes at LME by the end of 2009. Analysts expect production to remain around current levels for most of 2010.

 

OUTLOOK

 

DOMESTIC MARKET OUTLOOK

 

The Indian economy showed strong resilience in FY'09 in withstanding the economic crisis and staged recovery largely on the back of stimulus packages by the Government. India witnessed a recovery as the GDP grew by approx. 7.4% in FY'10 from about 6.7% inFY'09. A sharp turnaround in the end-user segments of aluminium industry such as auto mobiles, industrial & infrastructure and thrust on power sector growth propelled the industry growth.

 

The current demand-supply situation for aluminium is largely balanced with consumption in line with existing production plus imports and a relatively small volume of exports. However, the aluminium sector faces a significant concern of medium-term over-capacity due to projects pursued by the three major players in the country. Capacity expansion through planned projects would almost treble production to 4.4 million tonnes by 2013. Considering that all aluminium projects would begin commercial production with expanded capacity as envisaged, there could be at least two million tonnes of additional capacity for exports by 2013. India's per capita consumption of aluminium is about 1.3 kg as against about 30kg in the developed world for which the industry need to explore new application areas and untapped demand potential thereby setting up preference for aluminium in the future.

 

INTERNATIONAL OUTLOOK ALUMINIUM

 

Global aluminium consumption is expected to grow annually around 5% during the next decade, supported by continued urbanisation, industrialisation and economic development particularly in developing economies.

Industry experts forecast that 2010 would witness considerable growth of the aluminium market generated by rising demand from the automotive and packaging sectors. Aluminium consumption is likely to grow by 12% in 2010 over 2009 because of such growth and of low base effect.

 

ALUMINA

 

For 2010 as a whole, alumina prices are forecast to average $325 a tonne, which is around 30 per cent higher than the average for 2009. In the short term, prices are expected to be supported by higher assumed world economic activity and thus, increased demand for aluminium.

 

Over the medium term, spot alumina prices are projected to ease, as production increases following the commissioning of new refining capacity.

PRESS RELEASE

 

27 STATE PSUS MAKING PROFITS, SAYS MINISTER

 

Bureaucracy Today (India)

 

29 December 2011

New Delhi, Dec. 29 -- Twenty seven out of 33 working state public sector undertakings are making profits with the state government committed to step up their profitability further and also transform loss making units into profitable ones.

This was stated by state minister for finance and public enterprises Prafulla Chnadra Ghadai.

"The department of public enterprises has initiated a programme to increase profitability of firms that are already making profits. Presently, 27 out of 33 working state PSUs are earning profits while the remaining six are incurring losses. Our department is also focused on wiping out losses of such units and is committed to convert them into profitable firms," Ghadai told newspersons here.

The department has taken several steps to improve the organizational efficiency of the state PSUs like inculcating high standards of professionalism among the employees and appointing independent directors, the minister said.

Besides, efforts were underway for restructuring of two state PSUs- Idcol Ferrochrome Alloys Ltd (IFAL) and Idcol Kalinga Iron Works Limited (IKIWL).

For Idcol Kalinga Iron Works, we are thinking of forging joint venture either with a Central or state PSU, Ghadai informed.

Similarly, the state was planning to revamp IFAL through infusion of fresh capital investment, he added.

Two Central PSUs- Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) and National Aluminium Company (Nalco) have evinced interest in picking up stakes in IKIWL and IFAl. It may be noted that the 13th Finance Commission had recommended the state government to draw up a road map for closure of non-working PSUs by March 2011 which the state government had not done. The Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) observed there are 32 working PSUs in the state with the other 51 PSUs being non-working.

The state government's investment in most of the PSUs run by it has come a cropper. While the government had invested Rs 21903.700 millions on statutory corporations, rural banks, joint stock companies and cooperatives by the end of 2010-11, the returns from this investment were negligible on absolute terms.

The latest report on state finances for the year ended March 31, 2011 says the average return on this investment was a meagre 8.44 per cent in the last five years. The return obtained from these PSUs in 2010-11 was Rs 1015.800 millions, meaning only 4.64 per cent of the committed investment.

Ironically, two statutory corporations, 77 government companies and 29 cooperative societies where the government had invested 94 per cent of its total investments did not return any dividend to the government. The government had pumped in Rs 4907.000 millions on two statutory corporations, Rs 12425.400 millions on 77 government companies and Rs 3209.800 millions on 29 cooperative societies.

India, Dec. 29 -- National Aluminium Company (NALCO) is currently trading at Rs. 50.20, up by 1.90 points or 3.93% from its previous closing of Rs. 48.30 on the BSE. The scrip opened at Rs. 48.90 and has touched a high and low of Rs. 51.20 and Rs. 48.05 respectively. So far 38,000 shares were traded on the counter. The BSE group 'A' stock of face value Rs. 5 has touched a 52 week high of Rs. 120.38 on 14-Mar-2011 and a 52 week low of Rs. 48.00 on 24-Nov-2011.Last one week high and low of the scrip stood at Rs. 51.20 and Rs. 48.05 respectively. The current market cap of the company is Rs. 129370.000 millions. The promoters holding in the company stood at 87.15% while Institutions and Non-Institutions held 9.44% and 3.41% respectively. In an effort of state-run National Aluminium Company failing to meet its February-end deadline set by the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB), the company is likely to face a strict action by the board. The pollution control board has given the deadline for the company to come out with an alternative ash pond for dumping its fly ash. NALCO had sought time till April-end to complete the third ash pond for dumping of high density slurry for its 1,200 MW captive power plant. However, SPCB had insisted on sticking to the deadline of February-end next year. Nalco owns 47 acres of land where it can dump the high density ash till their pipeline to the Talcher coal mine is completed. The company's smelter plant would have an irreparable impact if the pollution control board chooses to close the power plant as the smelter plant requires uninterrupted power supply round the clock to sustain itself. Presently, NALCO manages to utilize half of the generated slurry for other purposes while the other half is released to ash pond. The company has acquired land near Balaramprasad village and is in advanced stage to prepare an ash pond. The company is also building a pipeline to dump ash in Bharatpur mines.

NALCO MAY FACE ACTION ON FAILING TO MEET DEADLINE SET BY SPCB

 

India Public Sector News

 

22 December 2011

Kolkata: A consortium of three state-run public sector mineral and metals mining firms led by the aluminum major National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO) is aiming for an overseas exploration rights in Afghanistan.

The consortium, including Hindustan Copper Limited (HCL) and Mineral Exploration Corporation Limited, has submitted its Expression of Interest (EoI) against a tender bearing last date of bid submission is March 16, 2012.

The latest bid for exploratory rights in overseas will be first such attempt in non-ferrous sector after a successful overseas stake by the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL)-led consortium wining iron ore exploration rights in Afghanistan's Hajigak region.

It should be noted that the consortium has written to the central mines ministry urging for ministerial coordination on the matter. An ecstatic HCL Chairman and Managing Director Shakeel Ahmed, speaking on the development, said that they will take the step at the right moment and fine tuning of the consortium will be worked upon later.

This is for the first time that Afghanistan has invited bids for developing its goldmines in Badakhshan and Ghazni and copper in Heart, Sar-I-Pul and Balkh regions.

NALCO CONSORTIUM EYEING GOLD, COPPER RESERVE IN AFGHANISTHAN

 

India Public Sector News

 

09 December 2011

Kolkata: In order to meet its investment need for ongoing mine development projects, India-based copper producing company Hindustan Copper Limited (HCL) has plans to raise Rs 2 billion through external commercial borrowings (ECB).

The ECB would be raised in fiscal year 2013-14 when a funding gap between its cash reserves and capex need are expected to emerge. The state-owned company expects to have a funding gap of Rs 2.07 billion in fiscal 2014. HCL is planning to make investments worth Rs 46 billion in the next five years. The investment will be made to boost the production capacity of its copper ore from the current 3.4 million tonnes to 12 million tonnes.

"In 2013-14, we could have a small funding gap of Rs207 crore. Now this gap may go up or down depending upon the movement of copper price at London Metal Exchange (LME) that directly influences our earnings. If that gap exists, we have two routes: either ECB or Nalco (as an equity partner)", Shakeel Ahmed, chairman & managing director of HCL, was quoted by the Daily News and Analysis as saying. He further said that the company will take a decision regarding the ECB after the end of the current financial year (2011-12).

HCL (BOM:513599) had earlier issued tenders for engineering, procurement and construction contracts for expanding its Surda, Khetri, Chapri-Sideshwar and Malanjkhand mines and also to reopen the Kenadadih and Rakha mines. Earlier, HCL had entered into an agreement with National Aluminium Co Limited (Nalco) to explore options for getting equity participation for its mine development projects.
