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.
