Performance
Your Company incurred heavy losses in this year too due to
un-remunerative selling price of finished products and high cost of
iron ore and coal prevailing throughout the year leading to a situation
where higher production meant higher loss. As a result, production was
at the lowest in the history of the Company and was limited to 42,872
MT in the sponge iron unit (17.15 % capacity utilization) and was 6,778
MT in the billet unit (6.78 % capacity utilization). Revenue from power
sales dropped substantially from Rs. 1,259.54 lacs in 2010-11 to Rs. 365.49
lacs in 2011-12 due to lower capacity utilization in the sponge iron
unit. Production will not be remunerative until the cost of iron ore
and coal reduce and selling price of finished product improves.
Your Company had approached its lenders for a corporate debt
restructuring to address the irregularity in the borrowings in view of
difficult market situations which is under consideration.
Your Company is confident to receive forest clearance and permission to
mine from the iron ore mines allotted to the Company shortly.
Availability of iron ore from captive mines will vastly improve both
production and profitability. Availability of coal from captive mine
will still take a few years and will result in even higher
profitability.
Open offer formalities are over, which will help consolidate Company''s
planning and operations.
