OPERATIONS:

 

F.Y. 2011-12 was a challenging year with a moderate growth of business due to turbulent economic environment. There was a slowdown in global economy activities across major part of the world and India was also affected to a larger extent coupled with domestic factors such as inflation, decelerating growth and widening current account deficit. Despite these constraints and the challenging environment, the Company performed reasonably well and sustained its production and sales in quantitative terms. The Company's Revenue from operation has increased from Rs. 17095.300 Millions in 2010-11 to Rs. 19166.600 Millions in 2011-12 representing an increase of 12.12 %. Export sales showed an increase from Rs. 5663.300 Millions to Rs. 8226.900 Millions, an increase of 45.27 % due to higher proportion of sales in the export market. The Company's profit (PAT) for the year was Rs. 423.800 Millions as against Rs. 1546.400 Millions. The decline was due to steep rise in raw materials prices mainly of iron ore and coal and sharp depreciation of INR against dollar.

 

During the year D.I. pipes production was 2,70,168 MT as against 2,70,327 MT in the previous year, showing marginally decreases. This year more product varieties have been added in the said production to satisfy their customers. Production of D.I. fittings was higher by 23.34% over the previous year (from 5,038 MT to 6,214MT).

The production of C.I. pipes at Elavur was 19,177 MT as against 30,199 MT in the previous year due to the customer's preference for DI Pipes over CI Pipes.

 

 

FUTURE PROSPECTS:

 

Government's thrust on the infrastructure facilities is already showing continuous increasing demand for D. I. pipes in the domestic market. However, additional capacity installed by new entrants and peer group companies may intensify the competition in the domestic market. There is constant endeavor by the Company for increasing the share in existing foreign markets and enter new countries. The Company has opened a new office in Italy with two stockyards. There are plans to set up an office and stockyard in Germany this fiscal. A branch office is also being opened shortly in Morocco to service the West African market where they have already started getting projects. Approvals have been obtained in Brazil and other South American markets and initial businesses obtained. In short, they see an exciting year ahead.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

 

OVERVIEW

 

The Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing Ductile Iron Pipes, Fittings and Cast Iron Pipes. Additionally, the Company also undertakes turnkey solutions for water transportation and sewerage management, which includes manufacturing DI Pipes, supplying and laying various types of pipes, operating the system and transferring to the owners.

 

 

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

 

To transport sufficient quantities of water from different sources to treatment plants with minimal loss and then transport it to the end users, a strong reliable transport medium is required. Earlier, the only major means available for the use in water transportation application (supply and sanitation) were the CI pipes. The DI pipes were first introduced in 1955, which has since been recognized as the industry standard for modern water and wastewater systems. DI pipes are preferred over CI pipes on account of being lighter, stronger, more durable and cost efficient these being corrosion resistant, ductile, etc. The DI pipes also have higher water carrying capacity. The DI pipes can also be laid out much faster and are virtually maintenance free. In addition, DI pipes require less support and provide greater flow area as compared to pipes made from other materials.

 

Ductile Iron pipes have a current demand of 800,000 tonnes p.a. in India out of which only 500,000 tonnes p.a. is produced locally. Most of the pipes are consumed primarily by State and the Central government projects for distributing drinking water.

 

India, with approximately 16% of the world's population, is estimated to have access to only 4% of the world's water resources. Government of India has in recent years taken the drinking water supply as one of the main thrust area. The involvement of international and multilateral development finance institutions in funding and developing a comprehensive water transportation infrastructure in India, together with the successful implementation of water storage and distribution projects has resulted in the development of a comprehensive water resources management policy and the implementation of other related projects.

 

 

DEMAND DRIVERS FOR DI PIPES:

 

THE FOLLOWING FACTORS WOULD DRIVE THE DEMAND FOR DI PIPES:

 

1.       Thrust of the government to provide drinking water and sanitation to 100% of the population and make funds available to achieve it.

 

2.       The need to conserve water and reduce leakage. The need to focus on life cycle cost rather than initial cost; and to consider inconvenience to public in replacement of pipes.

 

3.       The over reliance on ground water for rural water supply has resulted in twin problem of sustainability and water quality and suggested a shift to surface water source for tackling this issue. This will result in substantial increase in requirement of pipes.

 

4.       Expectations and assertions from people all over for a strong water supply and good drainage system.

 

 

2011-12 VS.2010-11:

 

F.Y. 2011-12 was a challenging year with a moderate growth of business due to turbulent economic environment. There was a slowdown in global economy activities across major part of the world and India was also affected to a larger extent coupled with domestic factors such as inflation, decelerating growth and widening current account deficit. Despite these constraints and the challenging environment, the Company performed reasonably well and sustained its production and sales in quantitative terms. The Company's Revenue from operation has increased from Rs. 17095.300 Millions in 2010-11 to Rs. 19166.600 Millions in 2011-12 representing an increase of 12.12 %. Export sales showed an increase from Rs. 5663.300 Millions to Rs. 8226.900 Millions, an increase of 45.27 % due to higher proportion of sales in the export market. The Company's profit (PAT) for the year was Rs. 423.800 Millions as against Rs. 1546.400 Millions. The decline was due to steep rise in raw materials prices mainly of iron ore and coal and sharp depreciation of INR against dollar.

2009-10

235463 MT

2010-11

270327 MT

2011-12

270168 MT

 

 

More varieties and value added products were produced during the year to meet higher exports and inspite of that production was sustained mainly due to continual improvement in productivity and debottlenecking in the manufacturing facilities.

 

 

CAST IRON PIPES

 

Production was lower at 19,177 MT against 30,199 MT in the previous year. This is due to reduction in demand as an effect of preference of DI Pipes over Cast iron pipes.

 

 

DI FITTINGS AND ACCESSORIES

 

Production of DI Fittings increased during the year from 5,038 MT last year to 6,214 MT. Company improved the performance of the division by targeting more value added products and higher exports to niche markets.

 

 

EXPORT

 

There is constant endeavor by the Company for increasing the share in existing foreign markets and enter new countries. The Company has opened a new office in Italy with two stockyards. There are plans to set up an office and stockyard in Germany this fiscal. A branch office is also being opened shortly in Morocco to service the West African market where they have already started getting projects. Approvals have been obtained in Brazil and other South American markets and initial businesses obtained. In short, they see an exciting year ahead.

 

 

TURNKEY PROJECTS

 

The Company also provides turnkey solutions to its customers in the areas of water infrastructure and sewerage management. It undertakes the activities of engineering, procurement, construction operations and management with respect to water distribution and sewerage systems, across the country. This turnkey activity also involves supply and laying of substantial quantities of the Company's pipes and fittings and thus adds to business opportunities for the Company.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Being the largest and low cost producer of quality Ductile Pipes in India, coupled with cost control measures, rising demand and focus on exports, the Company is very optimistic of its bright future.
