 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. 1709.53 crores in 2010-11 to Rs. 1916.66 crores in 2011-12  representing an increase of 12.12 %. Export sales showed an increase  from Rs. 566.33 crores to Rs. 822.69 crores, an increase of 45.27 % due  to higher proportion of sales in the export market. The Company''s  profit was Rs. 42.38 crores as against Rs. 154.64  crores.  The decline was due to steep rise in raw materials prices  mainly of iron ore & 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 our customers. Production of D.I.fittings was higher by 23.34%  over the previous year (from 5,038 MT to 6,214 MT).

 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 your Company for increasing the share in  existing foreign markets and enter new countries. Your 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 we have already started getting projects. Approvals have  been obtained in Brazil and other South American markets and initial  businesses obtained. In short, we see an exciting year ahead.

 Greenfield Project by an Associate Company, M/s Electrosteel Steels  Limited (ESL)

  ESL is setting up a 2.2 MTPA integrated steel &  Ductile Iron (DI) Pipe project, at Siyaljori village, in Bokaro  District, in Jharkhand,  about 22 kms from Bokaro  in Jharkhand. 

 During the project implementation process, some modifications were  suggested by the technical experts to meet the technical superiority  and efficiency improvement of the plant. Hence, for better balancing of  the product with optimized product mix and better value addition, ESL  is contemplating to enhance the plant capacity from 2.2 MTPA to 2.51  MTPA. 

 The ESL plant is at its advance stage of completion and its operations  are currently in a nascent stage. Due to a variety of technical  reasons, the plant has undergone improvements and changes, which will  in turn benefit the operations in the long run.
