The Company has achieved turnover of Rs.13,907.50 Lakhs
during the current financial year as against Rs.11,833.23 Lakhs
during the previous year. The Company has achieved EBIDTA of
Rs.839.93 Lakhs during the year as against Rs.704.94 Lakhs
during the previous year. The Company has earned net profit of
Rs.267.19 Lakhs during the year as compared to profit of
Rs.138.90 Lakhs in the previous year. The production volume of
the Company has increased from 2449.01 tons in previous year
to 3045.14 tons thereby healthy increase of more than 24%.
The turnover, EBIDTA and net profit of the Company has
improved during the year compared to previous year as
Company is focusing more on value added products. Your
Company''s operating results are influenced by macro-economic
developments which can affect trends such as industrial
production, capital spending, commercial and infrastructure
construction, commodity prices, and foreign exchange
variations. The demand seems to be good for stainless steel
seamless and welded products across industries.
During the year under report, the Company has incurred capital
expenditure of approx. Rs.596.00 lakhs to modernize its plant
and machinery in order to become cost competitive. The
Company is also planning to make further substantial capital
expenditure in current financial year to develop new high grade
product to cater to pharma, dairy and food & beverage industries
in Phase I. This will be followed with addition of products for
Semi-Conductor & Battery business tubes in Phase II, suitable
arrangements are being made for technology upgradation &
absorption.
While India is on a steady growth path, global geo-political
developments may have some impact on capex investments
and consumption amidst uncertainty. Broad supply chain
disruptions will continue to cause cost inflationary pressure in
the near future. We expect it to be in the short/medium term and
are confident on the fundamentals of the Indian economy to
achieve growth in the longer term.
The central Government''s âMake in Indiaâ initiative and both,
government and private investments in refining, petrochemical,
chemical, pharmaceutical & power are expected to create robust
demand for the Company''s products. Secondly, the Government
is also focusing on creating major capacity in thermal power and
nuclear power, which would also create demand of our products.
Our company has got all approvals with major users and is
expected to reap benefits of these initiatives.
The Board of Directors expresses their inability to declare any
dividend.
There was no amount transferred to General reserves.

Capital from the Rs.20,00,00,000/- (Rupees Twenty Crores

The Company has achieved total income of Rs.13,565.87 Lakhs during the current financial year as against Rs.10717.33 Lakhs during the previous year. The Company has achieved EBIDTA of Rs.601.56 Lakhs during the year as against Rs.761.19 Lakhs during the previous year. The Company has earned net profit of Rs.14.77 Lakhs during the year as compared to profit of Rs. 64.24 Lakhs in the previous year.
The Income of the Company has increased due to projects which have kick started and demand resurfaced. Your Company''s operating results are influenced by macro-economic developments which can affect trends such as industrial production, capital spending, commercial and infrastructure construction, commodity prices, and foreign exchange variations. The demand seems to be good for stainless steel seamless and welded products across industries.
While India is on a steady recovery path, global geo-political developments such as the Russia-Ukraine war and China plus one strategy may have some impact on capex investments and consumption amidst uncertainty. Broad supply chain disruptions
will continue to cause cost inflationary pressure in the near future. We expect it to be in the short/medium term and are confident on the fundamentals of the Indian economy to achieve growth in the longer term
Both, government and private investments in refining, petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical & power are expected to create robust demand for the Company''s products. Our company has got all approvals with major users and is expected to reap benefits of capex cycle.

OPERATIONS :
The Company has achieved turnover of Rs.60.34 crores during the current financial year as against Rs.72.06 crores during the previous year. The previous turnover is inclusive of excise duty whereas current year''s turnover is net of GST after 30th June, 2017.

The Company is hopeful that fresh capital investment in the power, refining and petro chemical sector will revive as the Government at Center is taking steps in that direction by more reforms including opening more sectors to FDI, raising FDI limit of various sectors and implementation of GST. Your Company is well positioned as efforts made into product development over the past few years have made your company one of the few manufacturers in the country that are capable of producing tubes for the power generation industry.

OPERATIONS :
The Company has achieved turnover of Rs.185.29 crores during the
current financial year as against Rs.133.79 crores during the previous
year. The Company has achieved EBIDTA of Rs.10.66 crores during the
year as against Rs.7.93 crores during the previous year. However, net
loss during the year has increased to Rs.1.70 crores from Rs.1.04
crores mainly due to increase in depreciation, due to adoption of new
depreciation policy as per newly inserted Schedule II to the Companies
Act, 2013 and increase in finance cost.
The last year was very challenging for the Company in view of the
slowdown in Indian economy in general and negative growth in the
capital goods industry in particular. For last two years various powers
and other green field projects are either on hold or stuck due to
various factors i.e; environmental clearance, financial closure etc.
and consequently as Key Component/ Material Suppliers Original
equipment manufacturers (OEM'S), like our company, are saddled with
inventory and low business prospects.
The Company is hopeful that fresh capital investment in the power,
refining and petro chemical sector will revive as the new government at
Center is taking steps in that direction. Your Company is well
positioned as efforts made into product development over the past few
years have made your company one of the few manufacturers in the

OPERATIONS:
During the year, the company was impacted by the slowdown in the
capital goods industry as well as the unprecedented depreciation of the
INR vs the USD. Due to this, the company witnessed a sharp decline in
its volumes as well as EBIDTA resulting in loss of Rs.1.58 Cr. during
the year. However, the company is focused on product development of
higher value added products for maintaining its strategic advantage in
the industry over the long term.
The Company has installed and commissioned a brand new state of art
Bright Annealing Furnace. In addition, the Ultra Sonic machine was
upgraded to meet the requirements of the Nuclear Industry. An
additional factory shed was also constructed. The total capital
expenditure during the year was of Rs.12 crores. To part finance the
Capital expenditure, one wind mill was sold, as it is not the core
business of the Company.
With these new installations, the company is now capable to manufacture
and supplies tubes for critical high pressure applications in the Power
Industry (both Thermal/Nuclear), where selected manufacturers operate
globally. The company is now able to produce the complete range of
products for Thermal power plants and can develop further products for
the Nuclear Power Industry.
The company is hopeful that fresh capital investments in the Power
(both Thermal/Nuclear), Oil & Gas, Refining and Petro-Chemical sectors
will revive with the stabilization of the new Government during the
current FY which would put company in strong position to encash its
investments.

OPERATIONS:
The year ended March, 2012 has been a turbulent year for the Global as
well as the Indian Economy. The Indian Rupee was very volatile and has
experienced new lifetime lows against the US Dollar. Apart from this
phenomenon, the high interest rate regime in the Indian Economy has
taken its toll on the Capital Goods Industry. In spite of these
negatives, the Company has achieved higher production by volume,
registering a growth of 30% which helped to achieve an EBIDTA growth of
54% over the last year. The NP of the Company increased by 44.64% on
the strength of higher EBIDTA. The benefit of the increased volume and
sales did not reflect in the profitability due to the depreciating
Rupee/higher interest burden.
The adverse market conditions were tackled by the Company by its
continuous effort of focussing on speciality product sectors,
especially in the Energy Sectors. The management believes that further
focus on these sectors is imperative for the Company's growth and
continues to focus on these speciality sectors. The expansion programme
initiated in the previous year is under implementation. Certain
up-gradations have been completed by March while the remaining would be
completed in the coming year. The benefits of this would be accrued
partially in the coming year and thereafter reflect in the future
performance. The Company has received approval from the American
Petroleum Institute (API) which would help selling its products in the
Petroleum sector in India and overseas.
The management believes that the product portfolio up-gradation
(derived from the expansion programme undertaken) coupled with the
measures to control the financial cost would help in achieving a better
performance in the coming year.

The year 2009-10 was a testing and challenging year for the Company.
