BUSINESS REVIEW

Indian Metallurgical Coke Industry is in developing stage and demand and supply gap met by imported coke and merchant coke plants. The Indian steel industry needs about 35 million tonnes of coke per year, out of which about 20 to 25 million tonnes are met from captive capacities leaving a balance of 10 million tonnes. The installed capacity of merchant met coke is said to be 10 million tonnes per annum but the actual plant utilisation is said to be only 30%-35%, due mostly to cheaper imports from China. India lacks locally available coke displacement options that exist in other countries. It is likely to remain the world's single largest import market for coke. The government is pushing towards phased de-regulation of the coal sector to tap its full potential and it also provide incentive for new technologies in underground mining.

The global economy is exhibiting strong signals of recovery and the Indian economy with a GDP forecast of over 7% suggests that the worst is behind us and we are seeing a revival all around. Indian steel consumption is growing at the rate of 6%. Met coke, the demand of which is directly linked to steel production, is obviously going to share the same fortune. India has a severe shortfall of good quality hard coking coal, which is being primarily met by imports. This demand supply gap is further going to increase in days to come with India trying to meet its target of 300 million tonnes by 2020 from current levels of around 53 million tonnes perannum.

It is estimated that by 2018 as per the current projections, India would need more than 75 million tonnes of coking coal. With China closing some of its coal mines and becoming a net importer of coking coal, it has become a commodity in global short supply and hence there is an increased demand for coke in the market. All these spell a wonderful future for your company.

OPERATIONS & FUTURE PROSPECTS

BUSINESS REVIEW

The Coke and steel market has witnessed turbulent times in the last three years which has continuously seen erosion of coke prices while there has been escalation in coal prices.

Added to this, there was dumping of metallurgical coke by various Chinese companies on account of industrial slowdown in China also led to glut of coke in India thus contributing to fall in coke prices in Indian market. Further the Rupee losing its value and depreciated by about 30% (i.e. Rs.60/$ from Rs.45/$) during the past 3 years had worsened the situation. Delay in infrastructure projects implementation directly hit the steel industry and due to this, its impact on coke was severe. Further, part of the years production were affected due to by shortage of Coal in view of certain Import Constraints.

With the advent of the new government Infra structure Projects have also been announced and several other Project expected to announce and Import duties have been rationalised which we hope the same might puts the Coal and coke industry on the development path.

BUSINESS REVIEW

During the year, your company has not dealt with the much of trading transactions and it is one of the reasons for achieving lesser turnover when compared to last year.

- The Company has redesigned its coke oven batteries at Haldia, West Bengal in order to enhance the production capacity of the battery and also for cost reduction and in view of that the production was halted till August 2012. The company has absorbed fixed overhead costs during non- operational period which is one of the reason for loss arises during the year.

- Further during the non-operational period the Company has liquidated the stocks available in the Inventory with lesser margin which has resulted in the reduction in the inventory margin on the closing stocks which has resulted in the operational loss during the year under review.

However your Company had taken all steps to enhance the foundry coke sale in the western region for getting more margin and neutralise the effect during the year under review.

OPERATIONS & FUTURE PROSPECTS
