Current information of the company

Principal activity is to manufacture and market Sponge iron and Crush Iron ore Lumps.

Sponge iron/Direct reduced iron is used to produce Billets and Ingots which is further processed and used in construction and infrastructure development.

Major raw materials are Iron ore, Coal and Dolomite, all of which are available in and around the locality.

Overview and Profile of the Industry

Nature of the industry:

According to one survey by joint plant committee in 2005-06, the growth of Indian sponge iron industry has been spectacular i.e. from a production of only 10,000 tonnes in 1980, it reached a level of 1.25 million tonnes in 1991-92 & 5.44 million tonnes in 2000-01 making it the 3rd largest producer in the world that year.

Contd….

Sponge iron is the raw material for units producing long products, which indicates a greater demand for Sponge iron by these units. It is also a substitute of Steel scrap.

The domestic average growth has been 21% in the last three years while the growth rate stands at 10%.

India is at this point the largest producer of Sponge iron and makes more than 111 lakh tonnes p.a.

Demand and Supply: Sponge iron industry plays a key role in development

of the steel sector as per national steel policy. Sponge iron is substitute for steel melting scrap. Scrap

availability is getting difficult. Therefore, steel industry has to depend heavily on sponge industry for the supply of metallic's in future.

Challenges faced by the company

Availability of high quality Raw materials.High input costs.High cost of Capital.Slowdown of economy, resulting in Demand

recession.Heavy competition by different players in the

market.

Human Resource Developments

Industrial Relations: Maintenance of peaceful relations with the workers in

order to avoid loss of any man days.

Safety: Emphasis on safety & security of the work force in all

areas. Enlighten the workers on the importance of safety to

avoid accidents & develop a safe working practice environment.
