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 1^st 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.

LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

Growth of the Indian economy:

The Indian Economy has emerged with remarkable rapidity from the slowdown caused by the global financial crisis of 2008-2009. The growth rate has been 8.6 percent in 2010-11 and is expected to be around 8 to 8.5 percent in the next fiscal year. Post recovery, growth in the industrial sector was buoyant during the first two quarters of the year under review. The manufacturing sector in particular showed a remarkable robustness growing at rates of 12.6% & 9.9% respectively during the two quarters. However, the second half saw a slowdown mainly as a result of the gradual tightening of monetary policy, in response to growing inflationary pressures.

The year 2010-11 witnessed the Indian Economy as one of the fastest growing economies globally and well positioned to attain a sustainable high growth trajectory. The overall economic canvas appears to be robust and conducive to the growth of our Company in the years ahead.

The Scenario of the Aluminum Extrusion Industry

The Aluminum Extrusion industry in India is likely to see a double digit growth over the next few years due to robust demand from all its consumer segments, particularly construction, electrical and automobile sectors.

Current installed capacity of Indian Aluminum Extrusion industry approximates just under 300,000 TPA in the Organized sector, with perhaps similar capacity in unorganized sector. The Un-organized sector widely spread across the country caters to local demand of extrusions at lower end of the market.

Investment in infrastructure especially in deficit regions like Asia is growing at a phenomenal rate. In India, mega and ultra-mega power projects are being set up with a vision to make the country self reliant in electricity. There is

progressively higher use of aluminum in automobiles for light-weighting of vehicles for better fuel efficiencies. The

building/ construction industry continues to grow at a rapid pace. These factors will ensure a high growth in demand for quality extruded products.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

The Company achieved a sales turnover of Rs.17.962 Millions as against Rs.1329.500 Millions in the previous financial year recording an increase of 35.10%. The increase in sales turnover would have been significantly higher but for the workmen’s agitation pressing for their Charter of Demands for a long term wage settlement and consequent work suspension at factory in July 2010, which resulted in production slow down for a few days and complete production loss for 27 days.

The Power Transmission and Distribution Hardware (Power T & D Hardware) division registered a sale of Rs.21.600 Millions as against Rs.0.69 Millions in the previous year. The balance of the turnover was contributed by Company’s principal business i.e. by Aluminium Extrusions Division.

The Profit After Tax (PAT) for the year is Rs.5.847 Millions as against Rs.53.451 Millions showing a big decline in spite of robust growth in business volume. The decline in profit during the year is mainly due to the following factors:-

(a) Production loss due to workmen’s agitation and consequent work suspension.

(b) Increase of over 50% in the Electricity Tariff over last two financial years.

(c) Significant increase in Finance Cost due to hardening of interest rates in India.

(d) Apparent slow down in general economic activity in the last quarter resulting in reduced order flows. The Company has taken steps to counter the above factors as have been mentioned elsewhere in this report and expects to achieve higher Sales Turnover as well as profitability in the next financial year.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Extrusions

The Company has an installed capacity to produce 15000MT of extrusions per annum. As against this, our production for the year 2010-11 was 10033 MT. We thus have a significant spare capacity to increase production and sales volume.

The demand for aluminium extrusions has been growing in double digits for past few years. However, even today the present per capita consumption of aluminium in India is very low at below 2 kgs. against over 10kgs. in developed countries. Due to this very low present consumption, meaning a low base, the demand growth for extrusions is likely to remain buoyant over many years to come.

The segment-wise expected demand growth is given hereafter:

1. Power Sector – Power and infrastructure sectors in India are witnessing and would continue to witness strong

growth in the coming years with the boost from policy measures and budgetary allocations. Our country faces

continuing power shortage. More investments to plug the gap means more aluminium extrusions.

2. The vibrant Real Estate Sector in our country – Triggered by growth opportunities in the construction sector with increasing government budgetary support for the housing sector, the Company eyes for a wider market asmore homes and offices mean more aluminium extrusions. Aluminum being Green Metal and an effective substitute to wood and also being corrosion resistant favourably competes with other substitute materials such as steel and wood. The light weight, high strength and durability of aluminum alloys make aluminum attractive for building and construction.

3. Rapidly growing Transportation Sector - More road and more vehicles mean more aluminium extrusions. The

Growing Vehicular aluminium content for light weighting of vehicles to save energy will drive aluminium demand

further.

4. Engineering Applications- Aluminium Extrusions are increasingly being used to manufacture forged and forged & machined components for use as parts of machinery, fastners, rivets, wire rope ferrules, motor housings for domestic pumps, hydraulic gear pump casings, heat sinks, ladders, elevators, etc.

5. The Sustained Agriculture Emphasis in our Country – More investments in irrigation mean more aluminium Extrusions 6. Solar Energy Industry is an emerging opportunity, which implies significant consumption opportunities for aluminium extrusions from solar panels over the years to come.

7. Indian Defence Sector: Aluminium extrusions are consumed in a wide range of applications in this sector, comprising tail-end fuse connectors for detonator shells and grenades, frame-work for tents and as a roll-over ‘mattress’ for tanks to navigate difficult terrains. Given the significant supply deficits, high growth potential and conducive government policies, a large opportunity exists for the Aluminum extrusions suppliers including our Company. The above projection of robust demand growth is however tempered by the fact that the extrusioin industry is fragmented, and significant competition exists among players in the industry. As a result, the bargaining power of industry players is moderate.

POWER T AND D HARDWARE

India today stands at the threshold of being an economic superpower. Power is one of the key requirements to support and sustain our economic growth. Power is a key ingredient in driving growth in manufacturing & services. Aluminium finds growing use in this space as it is directly used in the overhead transmission and distribution lines.

Power Transmission and Distribution Hardware Fittings are required for use on Overhead Transmission and Distribution Lines for connecting Insulators with Tower/Pole Cross Arms and Insulators with conductors. The Company has manufacturing facilities for casting of Aluminium Alloys, manufacturing of Extruded products in Aluminium & its Alloys, Wire Drawing, Helical Products, Fabrication of Ferrous & Non-Ferrous Components, Argon Welding, Electric Arc Welding, Machining, Bundle Spacer Assembly, Vibration Damper Assembly, Conductor Accessories, Clamp Connectors for Hardware Assembly, and manufacturing of Tools, Dies & Moulds.

Aluminium is also used in insulated and underground cables laid in large populated urban areas and in reserved forests (to avoid deforestation), Round Tubes are used for corona control rings, grading rings, mid-span compression joints, dead-end clamps and jointing sleeves, among others, signifying huge opportunities for extrusions in the power sector.

During the financial year 2010-11 the Company recorded a sales turnover of T & D Hardware amounting to Rs. 21.600 Millions approx. as against Rs.6.900 Millions in the previous financial year. At the beginning of the year 2011-12, the Company had orders in hand worth approx. Rs. 40.000 Millions. The Company has successfully registered itself as a supplier of its products with a number of State Electricity Boards during the year and the process is continuing. The process will get further momentum as company achieves requirements of minimum years of supply track record and experience, with each passing year. The Company has received substantial orders from the said State Electricity Boards, Transmission and Distribution Line State based utilities and Erection Contractors.

As the Company gets itself registered as a supplier with more electricity utility companies, the order book will become better and stronger, and the growth in coming few years is likely to be in multiples of the previous year performance.
