INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The current downturn provides an opportunity to push ahead with reforms to accelerate growth, says the latest India Development Update report released by the World Bank. The report says that the adverse effects of rupee depreciation are likely to be offset by the gains in the exports performance due to improved external competitiveness. Since May this year, the local currency has depreciated substantially and fell to a record level of Rs 68.85 to a dollar on August, 28.

 

A stagflation like situation appears to have arisen as inflation jumped to an eight month high of 6.46 % for the month of September. It is up from 6.10 % in August. Growth continues to be muted with factory output plunging to 0.6  % in August. Onion prices have risen nearly 300 % from last September. Vegetables cost nearly 90 % more than they did last year. Wake up to the economic contribution of slum dwellers. They contribute more than 7.5 % to the country’s gross domestic product, according to a recent study conducted in 50 top cities.

 

136000 estimated number of jobs created during the second quarter of the current financial year. 50000 estimated number of additional jobs in the field of corporate social responsibility in the coming years.

 

The International Finance Corporation expects to come out with its rupee linked bonds issue before the end of 2013 as a part of its plan to raise $ 1 billion. The Apple iPhone 5c (Rs 41900 for 16 GB variant) and 5s (Rs 53500 for 16GB variant) has been launched in India from 1st November.

 

The Land Acquisition Act to provide just and fair compensation to farmers will come into force from January 1 next year, said Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh. The Act replaces a 119 year old registration. The Securities and Exchange Board of India has approved the trading of currency futures on the Bombay Stock Exchange. The exchange plans to launch the currency futures platform with advanced trading technology by the end of November.

CORPORATE INFORMATION:

 

The company, incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956, in the year 1991, is engaged in the manufacture and supply of Ductile Iron Pipe as its core business with its domicile presence in the State of Andhra Pradesh, India. The company is a leading Public Utility Services company predominantly catering to the needs of Water Infrastructure Development. The company also produces Low Ash Metallurgical Coke and Power for captive consumption in its integrated complex. It also manufactures and supply Pig Iron and Cement, in the process. The company’s shares are listed on the National Stock Exchange Limited and the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited and the shares are traded regularly.

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

The Company achieved Gross operating revenue of Rs.8976.200 millions during the year as against Rs.8238.500 millions in the previous year, registering an increase of 8.95%.

 

The production of D. I. Pipes during the FY 2012-13 was higher by 7.70% at 1,57,753 MT when compared to 1,46,478 MT for the FY 2011-12.

 

The production of Mini Blast Furnace (MBF), producing liquid metal mainly for Ductile Iron Pipe Plant was marginally lower during the FY 2012-13 at 1,78,707 MT compared to 1,80,026 MT for the FY 2011-12. The production of Low Ash Metallurgical Coke was higher in FY 2012-13 by 16.2% at 1,25,239 MT as against 1,07,765 MT in FY 2011-12. However, the power generation in 12 MW – Waste Heat Recovery Based Captive Power Plant was slightly lower in FY 2012-13 at 642 lakh units as against 678 lakh units in FY 2011-12, due to shutdown of Power Plant for 25 days for synchronization of 3rd boiler and turbine overhauling.

 

Due to adverse power situation in the state, production of slag cement during the year was lower by

26.60% at 66,059 MT as against 90,000 MT in the FY 2011-12.

 

Procurement of calibrated iron ore through e-auction route at a higher cost continued till 3rd quarter of the year, resulting in significant increase in the input cost.

 

This apart, the power crisis in the State has further aggravated in the FY 2012-13, leading to shortage of power, on account of load/supply restrictions imposed by APSPDCL. This has forced the Company to purchase power from private power generation companies through Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) at a much higher cost compared to the cost of grid power.

 

The power cost has been increased by about 28% in the State for HT Consumers from April, 2012.

 

Although, the Company has registered a moderate growth in the volumes of DI pipes during the FY 2012-13, due to higher cost of iron ore, power and interest, the profitability of the Company was adversely affected.

 

FUTURE PROSPECTS

 

Installation of 3rd battery in Coke Oven Plant and additional Boiler in 12 MW Captive Power Plant has been successfully commissioned during the year. Accordingly, the capacity of Coke Oven Plant has increased from 1,50,000 TPA to 2,25,000 TPA. Moreover, the additional boiler has resulted in full utilization of the capacity of 12 MW Captive Power Plant.

 

Further, the Sinter Plant project started in the year 2011-12 has been successfully commissioned in the last quarter of the year. With sinter, the requirement of high cost calibrated iron ore has been replaced with low cost iron ore fines in the current inventory by more than 80% and reduced coke consumption. This has increased the capacity of MBF to 2,75,000 TPA. All these factors together lead to improved working in the last quarter of FY 2012-13.

 

The power cost has been increased by about 24% in the State for HT Consumers from April, 2013. Installation of

132 KVA Sub-Station to synchronize the power requirements of the company was delayed, due to slow progress of APTRANSCO’s 220/132 KVA Substation. This is now expected to be commissioned by 2nd quarter of 2013-14, resulting to lower cost of power, besides improved quality.

 

Although there is intense competition in the domestic market, with the implementation of the above mentioned backward integration projects, the company’s profitability will improve during the FY 2013-14, barring unforeseen circumstances.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW

 

Subject promoted by Lanco Group in 1992 set up a Mini Blast Furnace (MBF) in 1994 with an installed capacity of 90,000 TPA to manufacture and sell Pig Iron to foundry units across India.

 

In 1998, subject entered into an arrangement to supply Molten Iron and Pig Iron to Lanco Kalahasthi Castings Limited

(LKCL) a company within the same campus engaged in the business of Iron Castings and Forging. LKCL later on added high technology Ductile Iron Pipes (DIP) manufacturing facilities to its portfolio.

 

In March 2002, India’s pioneering D.I. Pipe manufacturer, Electrosteel Castings Limited (ECL) entered into a strategic alliance with subject and LKCL by acquiring 46.43 and 48.89 percent stake in the companies respectively. In addition to technological support, ECL also infused fresh funds into subject by way of equity participation and re-modeled the financial structure, thus reducing interest costs.

 

In 2003, the capacity of MBF was increased from 90,000 TPA to 1,50,000 TPA and the capacity of DI. Pipes was increased from 60,000 TPA to 90,000 TPA at a capital outlay of approx. Rs.350.000 millions.

 

In 2003, LKCL got merged with subject (with effect from 1st April, 2003) to take advantage of the close synergy in the business model of the two companies, since a large part of Pig Iron in liquid form is consumed by LKCL for manufacture of pipes.

 

In 2004, a major backward integration project comprising of 1,50,000 TPA Coke Oven Plant and 12 MW Waste Heat Recovery Based Co-generating Captive Power Plant at a capital outlay of Rs.880.000 millions was started.

 

In 2005, 1,50,000 TPA Coke Oven Plant was commissioned and commercial production was stabilized. The coke being produced is at par with international quality of LAM coke.

 

In 2006, the capacity of D. I. Pipes was further increased from 90,000 TPA to 1,20,000 TPA and the 12 MW Waste Heat Recovery Based Co-Generating Captive Power Plant was set up, which started generating power from March, 2007.

 

In 2007, Stamp Charging System was successfully implemented at Coke Oven Plant for producing quality metallurgical coke at a lower cost.

 

In 2008, the Company implemented ERP system (SAP) to support business process and effective resource planning and management.

 

In 2009, capacity of D. I. Pipes was increased from 1,20,000 TPA to 1,80,000 TPA.

 

In 2010, capacity of Mini Blast Furnace (MBF) for production of Liquid Metal/Pig Iron was enhanced from 150,000 TPA to 225,000 TPA and also the capacity of DI Pipes was enhanced from 180,000 TPA to 225,000 TPA.

 

In 2011, the Company’s admired project to use primarily treated sewerage water of Tirupati Municipal Corporation for industrial purpose was commissioned successfully.

 

In 2012, capacity of Coke Oven Plant was enhanced from 150,000 TPA to 225,000 TPA by installing 3rd Coke oven battery. Moreover, installation of additional boiler in the 12 MW Captive Power Plant was also successfully commissioned, resulting in full utilization of capacity of the Power Plant. Further, the project for installation of Sinter Plant has been successfully commissioned in the last quarter of the year, whereby, usage of lump ore in MBF has been substituted with iron ore fines to the extent of 90%, besides leading to increase in the capacity of MBF to 2,75,000 TPA.

 

THE YEAR IN RETROSPECT (2012-13 Vs. 2011-12)

 

The volumes of production and sales of Company’s products reflected a healthy growth during the year 2012-13.

1,25,239 MT coke was produced in the Coke Oven Plant for captive consumption during 2012-13 vis-ŕ-vis 1,07,765 MT in 2011-12.

 

The 12 MW Waste Heat Recovery Based Co-Generating Captive Power Plant of the Company generated 642 lakh units of power compared to 678 lakh units in FY 2011-12.

 

The gross operating revenue of the Company increased from Rs.8238.500 millions in FY 2011-12 to Rs.8976.200 millions. In FY 2012-13, registering a growth of 8.95%. However, due to higher power and finance costs with no commensurate increase in selling prices, the Company has incurred a net loss of Rs.130.900 millions during the year as against Rs.39.500 millions net loss incurred in FY 2011-12.

 

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

 

Ductile Iron Pipes being preferred pipe category for water supply and irrigation projects and the continued emphasis given by Govt. of India on improving the water supply and sewerage infrastructure, with sanitation coverage as low as 25% for rural masses in the Country, the fortunes for domestic DI Pipe industry remain positive and healthy over the longer term.

 

However, intense competition on the back of creation of excess capacities in domestic market, rising input prices and finance costs may impact the order book and profitability.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Commissioning of backward integration projects as aforesaid has added value in terms of increased power generation and reduced consumption of calibrated iron ore, thereby leading to reduction in overall cost of production. Besides these developments, the growing demand for DI pipes in the domestic market is likely to auger well for the positive growth of the Company.
