Comments :

Electro Steel Castings Limited was incorporated in the year 1955. It is a manufacturer of Ductile Iron Fittings (DIF) AND Cast Iron (CI) Pipes.

 

For the financial year 2017, the company has reported decline in its revenue as compared to previous year but has managed to maintain average profit margin of 4.21%.

 

The healthy financial profile of the company is marked by strong networth base along with strong debt coverage indicators due to low debt balance sheet profile.

 

The rating takes into consideration the subject’s long track record of business operations along with extensive experience of its promoters.

 

The company has its share price trading at around INR 37.75 against the Face Value (FV) of INR. 01 on BSE as on 28th December, 2017.

 

However, rating strength are partially offset by company’s decline in financials for the second consecutive year, both in the revenues and net profits, delays in compensation towards deallocation of coking coal block and currency risk on foreign exposure.

 

Business is active. Payments are reported to be slow and delayed.

 

In view of aforesaid, the company can be considered for business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

 

India is growing at a fast rate. The growth in Gross Domestic Product of the country is sustaining steadily. With economic upliftment, rapid urbanization is taking place all over India, where villages are being transformed to towns, towns into cities and cities into megacities. So the future need for water in India is enormous. The solution is piped supply of surface water in usable form. At the same time disposal need of used water is also growing simultaneously, warranting more investment in the sewerage and waste water sector.

 

Moreover, India has a highly seasonal pattern of rainfall, with 50% of precipitation falling in just 15 days and over 90% of river flows in just four months. This calls for regular irrigation of vast area of land to sustain agricultural activity. Till now irrigation in India was mainly canal based. But due to problems being faced for land acquisition and to minimize transmission loss due to percolation and evaporation, the government is stressing more on piped irrigation, throwing huge scope for use of ductile iron pipes.

 

The pipe demand for Industrial water supply is also growing with more industrialization. The real estate industry has also seen rapid growth in recent years.

 

As a result, the Indian pipes business has been growing rapidly due to increasing demand for pipes. Among the several varieties of pipes available in the market, the demand for ductile iron pipes in particular, is on a rise due to its high dependability and high durability. Ductile iron pipe in view of its inherent features like high ductility and bursting strength, higher corrosion and abrasion resistance, easy laying and long service life is the preferred choice over other types of pipes for water and sewerage transportation.

 

With the continued focus of the Government in this sector, the growing demand for ductile iron pipes is likely to continue in medium and long term. As such future of the Industry appears to be bright.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Overview

 

The Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing Ductile Iron (DI) Pipes, Ductile Iron Fittings (DIF) and Cast Iron (CI) Pipes. The Company is the first to set up a Ductile Iron Pipe Plant in India. Today it is India’s leading pipeline solution provider. It has a strong brand presence around the Globe. Since 1994, the Company has maintained its edge over its competitors.

 

Industry Outlook

 

Water and sewerage infrastructure development in Indian urban and rural sector has been the key engine of growth acceleration for the DI Pipe Industry. With only around 31% of India’s population currently urbanized, along with high population density, India’s urbanization trends have scope to significantly accelerate. Further, the country faces immense problem of drinking water supplies and has poor transmission and distribution networks for water. The Indian water and waste water market is growing at the rate of 10%-12% every year.

 

To improve and sustain the water availability, the Central Government has initiated a number of major urban development schemes to transform the urban scenario of the country. This will result in large investment in the Water Supply and Sewerage System. Under the ‘100 Smart City Project’ INR 50,000 Million will be spent to modernize 100 selected cities with latest information technology and all modern amenities including 24 hours Water Supply. Matching grant will come from the State and private stakeholders.

 

Another major initiative is Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation Yojna (AMRUT). Under AMRUT, 500 Small City will undergo infrastructure revamping. A major part of the investment will be spent on Water Supply and Sewerage. INR 50,000 Million will be provided as central assistance over a 5 (five) year period and matching grant is to be provided by the State. Another INR 20,000 Million will be spent under the ‘Namami Gange’ Scheme where cities on the bank of river Ganga and its tributaries will have modern waste water conveyance and treatment facilities to make the rivers clean.

 

The Company continues to maintain its dominant position in the market against competitors. The Company, after entrenching itself in the prestigious European and Gulf markets, is continuously expanding the business to new countries like Tanzania, Zambia, Congo, Nigeria, Senegal, Morocco in Africa, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar in South East Asia. The Company will continue to maintain its emphasis on the Gulf markets where it has a historically strong presence.

 

Demand drivers for DI Pipes

 

The following factors would drive the demand for DI Pipes:

 

1. The 500 numbers of AMRUT schemes and 100 smart city project launched by the Government will result in a surge in demand for the products.

 

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

 

3. The Prime Minister has announced housing for all by 2022, which will drive growth for piping. India has at present shortage of 59 million houses and need additional 51 million houses (total 110 million) by 2022.

 

4. Low cost housing and rural is picking up in a big way after the recent announcement of subsidy by the Prime Minister.

 

5. With diminishing fresh water resources, the need to conserve water and reduce leakage has become important. So demand for more dependable pipe material like DI pipe is growing.

 

More utilities are focusing on life cycle cost rather than initial cost to have a more durable water supply solution.

 

FY 2016-17 vs. FY 2015-16

 

The Company’s Revenue from Operations was reported lower at INR 18341.800 Million during the year as compared to INR 20161.500 Million reported in the previous year. The Export sales decreased by around 53.52% from INR 7781.300 Million in 2015-16 to INR 5068.600 Million in 2016-17, due to slow down of world economy, anti-dumping/antisubsidy duties on Indian DI pipes by European Commission. The Company’s profit after tax (PAT) for the FY 2016-17 was reported at INR 77.28 Million as against INR 558.700 Million for FY 2015-16, mainly due to optimum utilization of resources, procurement planning and increase in Other Income.

 

 

 

 

PRODUCT WISE PERFORMANCE

 

Ductile Iron (DI) Pipes

 

The Ductile Iron Pipe Plant, with a total capacity of 2,80,000 TPA produced 2,80,287 MT of DI Pipes during the year 2016- 17 compared to 2,92,467 MT in 2015-16. The production was impacted by maintenance shut down. Initiatives continue by the Company to sustain improving productivity.

 

The main raw materials used in the production of DI pipes are Iron Ore and Coke. Iron Ore is mainly procured from Odisha and Jharkhand and Coke is captively produced at Haldia. The DI Pipes produced by the Company is sold in India and globally. The sale of DI Pipes contributed to 75% of the total revenues of the Company during the year amounting to INR 13480.000 Million.

 

Cast Iron (CI) Pipes

 

The Cast Iron Pipe Plant, with a total capacity of 1,08,000 TPA produced 34,473 MT of CI Pipes in 2016-17 compared to 33,639 MT in 2015-16. The capacity utilisation was lower as the demand for Cast Iron Pipes remains low.

 

The main raw material used in the production of CI pipes is Pig Iron, which is sourced from domestic sources. The CI Pipes produced by the Company is sold mainly to the states in Southern India. The sale of CI Pipes contributed INR 148.80 Million to the total revenues of the Company during the year.

 

DI Fittings and Accessories

 

DI Fittings and Accessories produced 8,510 MT of DI Fittings in 2016-17 as against 6,572 MT in 2015-16. The Company has enhanced the capacity through installation of new facility at Haldia Works for improving the performance of the division which is under operation. Initiative continued to improve productivity. The sale of DI Fittings and Accessories contributed to INR 109.61 Million in the total revenues of the Company during the year.

 

Power Plant

 

12 MW Power Plant at Haldia has contributed 82.49 million units in 2016-17 to SEB grid in place of 70.17 million units in 2015-16. Generation increased due to higher availability of steam from Coke Oven and Sponge Iron Boilers for higher running days.

 

Captive Coke Oven Plant

 

The Coke Oven Plant, with a total capacity of 2,25,000 TPA at Haldia, produced 167,099 MT of Metallurgical Coke in 2016-17 against 2,09,492 MT in 2015-16, mainly for captive consumption in Blast Furnace at Khardah Works. The production was lower as the demand for surplus, after meeting the captive requirements, was sluggish because of volatile price during this period. The primary raw material for producing Coke that is Coking Coal was imported from Australia.
