Petro Carbon and Chemicals Ltd. IPO

Petro Carbon and Chemicals Limited (“PCCL”) is a ATHA Group (the “Group”) Company engaged in the business of manufacturing and marketing of Calcined Petroleum Coke (“CPC”) in the carbon industry. Atha Group is a multi-product, multi-technology, multi-location ... business conglomerate. It is a 70 year old diversified Indian business house headquartered in Kolkata. The Group was founded in the year 1957 in Odisha as a Mining and Minerals company. Since the last decade, the group has been focusing towards its growth strategy of business diversification, forward and backward integrations and acquisition of projects, which has significantly helped the group maintain consistency in performance and growth. PCCL’s business model is fundamentally a B2B model wherein we majorly supply our end product CPC, to the renowned, aluminum manufacturing government companies, graphite electrodes and titanium dioxide manufacturers as well as other users in the metallurgical, chemical industries and other steel manufacturing companies. In 2018, our company was honoured with the prestigious NALCO VIKRETA UTKARSH PURASKAR, recognizing us as the top supplier among all the suppliers of POL (Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants) by the National Aluminium Company Limited. PCCL’s plant was operational since the year 1975, wherein the detailed engineering and layout of the plant was done by Engineers India Limited. This plant was later acquired, revamped and upgraded by our group in the year of 2008. In the last five years, the group has strategically shifted its attention towards vertical integration, technological Innovation, diversification, strategic partnerships which has resulted in operational, excellence, resulting in a substantial enhancement of its overall performance. Calcined Petroleum Coke commonly known as CPC is produced from Raw Petroleum Coke (RPC) also called the Green Petroleum Coke. The result of the calcining process is converting green coke to hard, dense and almost pure carbon with low hydrogen content, good electrical conductivity and a defined structure. These properties alongwith low metals and ash contents make calcined petroleum coke the best material currently available for making carbon anodes for smelting of alumina to aluminium in the electrolytic smelting process. Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) holds significant importance in the manufacturing of aluminium, and is also utilised in the production of steel and various other carbon-based products. It is widely used in aluminium industry, titanium dioxide industry, electrode manufacturing industry, foundry industry, glass industry metallurgical and chemical industry, and steel industry etc. The process entails heating raw petroleum coke to eliminate volatile impurities, resulting in enhanced properties that make it highly suitable for various manufacturing processes.

In recent years, India is emerging as one of the competitive and high-quality manufacturing destinations in the global market, attracting foreign investments. Presently, India’s chemical and petrochemical (CPC) industry holds a significant position in the world market, worth US$ 178 ... billion, and it is expected to grow to about US$ 300 billion by 2025.The strategic geographical location of India has enabled the country to maintain its key position in the international market. Calcined petroleum coke (CPC) is one of the major raw materials for the Aluminium Industry. CPC is used for fabrication of anodes used in the aluminum electrolysis process. Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) has been in use for more than 120 years to produce the carbon anodes used in the Hall-Heroult Aluminium electrolysis process. Performance of the anodes in the aluminium electrolysis process depends on many properties of CPC Read more
