Strengths
The company
is amongst a very limited number of players in India, manufacturing stainless
steel coils with backward integration and currently have the capability of
manufacturing stainless steel (SS) blooms/slabs which are captively consumed to
produce HR coil, hot rolled annealed pickled (SS HRAP) coil and CR coil.
The company
is located in close proximity to its key raw material suppliers. It sources its iron ore requirements from a
Navratnapublic sector undertaking mining company’s mines, which are known for
producing India’s highest grade of iron ore. Further it sources its coal
requirements from a Maharatna PSU through one of its highest coal producing
subsidiary whose mines are Asia’s largest coal mines and are merely 250
kilometres from Sarora Facility
The company
integrated manufacturing facility is designed in such a manner that it is able
to respond swiftly to market demand for a particular size of pipe or tube as it
control the end-to-end supply chain for its products unlike other industry
players who rely on external coil manufacturers for supply of the required
grade and size of HR coils.
The
company’s Sarora facility has been certified with international standards of
quality management systems such as ISO 9001:2015; environmental management
systems such as ISO 14001:2015; occupational health and safety management
systems such as ISO 45001:2018; and energy management systems such as ISO
50001:2018. Further, the company is certified with Dedal - Attestation and
Certification Ltd, Bulgaria for conformity of the factory production control
and have EN 10025-1:2004 and EN 10219-1:2006 certifications.
The company
backward integration processes allow it to manufacture a range of finished
products including ERW black pipes and tubes (hollow section), pre-galvanized
(GP) pipes, Cold Rolled Full Hard (CRFH) Pipes and galvanized iron (GI) pipes
and steel door frames, using intermediate products such as sponge iron,
blooms/slabs and hot rolled (HR) coil, cold rolled (CR) coil (mild steel) and
GP coils which are manufactured in-house.
The company
is one of the two players in India manufacturing ERW steel pipes and tubes
(along with hollow section pipes and tubes) using narrow-width HR coil, as of
December 31, 2024. Its products are rust resistant and tailored to meet
specific market requirements, ensuring wide application across multiple sectors
including housing and infrastructure, water transportation, agriculture,
automobile, telecommunications, oil and gas, engineering, solar energy,
fire-fighting systems, and for support structures of conveyors.
The company
produce narrow-width HR coil which allows it to manufacture ERW black pipes and
tubes of thickness, as per customer
requirements, and reduces its dependency on external HR coil suppliers, thus
giving it a competitive edge. In fiscal
2025, it expanded its product portfolio to include additional value added
products such as GP coils, pre-galvanized (GP) pipes, cold rolled full hard
(CRFH) pipes, SS HRAP coils and SS cold rolled (CR) coils.
The
domestic steel pipe demand is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8-9% between
fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2029 to 18.50-20.50 MTPA. The growth would primarily be
led by structural infrastructure and irrigation sector, which would continue to
account for 50-55% of total domestic steel pipe demand. Further the demand for
steel pipes and tubes will also be getting the push from the potential
substitution of conventional construction materials, such as concrete cement
and conventional steel.
Weaknesses
The company
remains vulnerable to steel industry cyclicality, especially fluctuations in
the prices of key raw materials like iron ore, coal, ferroalloys, and scrap
despite the benefits of backward integration. Margins may compress during
downcycles.
The company
lacks a long-standing operational track record in this high-value segment as it
has recently entered stainless steel coil production
The company
is undertaking major greenfield and brownfield expansions which involve
significant capex and execution risk. Delays or cost overruns could impact
profitability and return ratios in the near term.
The company
key manufacturing facilities are primarily concentrated in Chhattisgarh,
particularly in Raipur, making it vulnerable to region-specific risks such as
power supply disruptions, state-level regulatory changes, and natural
calamities.
The company
is required to obtain, renew or maintain statutory and regulatory permits,
licenses and approvals to operate its business, and it may experience delays in
obtaining, renewing or maintaining such licenses or permits or be unable to
obtain such licenses and approvals.
The company
witnessed negative operating cash flows in the past, and it is possible that it
may experience negative operating cash flows in the future.
The company
faces competition from domestic and international manufacturers of sponge iron,
blooms/slabs, HR coils, ERW black pipes, GI pipes, GP coils, GP pipes, CR coils
and stainless-steel products.
