 INDUSTRY SCENARIO RECENT DEVELOPMENTS: The recent World Census of Casting production conducted by Modern Castings, USA in December 2008 revealed that economic slowdown has had its negative effect on the global metal casting industry. . The census state that the global casting shipments were 95 million tons for 2007 and metal casting shipment are expected to decline to 90 million by 2010. However despite recession, Asia (and within it China and India) remains high growth regions for the casting industry in economic terms. As per world Census India rank number four amongst the top ten casting producers in the world with 7.8 million tones of various grades of castings as per international standards. (Source: Business Standard Dt 19.09.2009)

INDIAN FOUNDRY Indian foundry industry caters to the needs of a wide range of industries such as Iron & Steel , Engineering and sanitary pipes & fittings . It is one of the most important sectors shaping the Indian economy. The casting industry, also classified , as foundry is characterized by many small and few major players who normally manufacture parts to customer specification. Despite the growth in production level , this industry remains fragmented with players operating at all levels of value chain. There are about 5000 units ( employing around 6 lac employees ) and having installed capacity of approximately 9.5 million tons per annum ( with annual production around 7.80 million tons about 90 % units are in small scale and 10 % are in medium and large scale . The large foundries are modern and globally competitive and are working at nearly full capacity. Most foundries use cupolas using Low Ash Metallurgical Coke ( LAM ) . Over the years there has been an increase in awareness about environment and many foundries are switching over to Induction Furnaces . Page 11 of 29

Since opening up Indian Economy in 1991-92 through de-regulation and globalization rout, more number of green field foundries were set up , with modern equipments like high pressure mold technology , automatics and plants with latest equipments like spectrometer magnetic particle testing , Ultrasonic and X ray examination. Professionals are being inducted in departmental levels like moulding , melting , methoding , and production. With the view of liberalized policies of Government of India , foundries have taken a new shape to cater to the present domestic and export demand of the country.

INDIAN

FOUNDRY INDUSTRY IS AFTER

CHINA , USA

AND

RUSSIA

Indian Foundry has a sizeable export of goods valued at Rs 2000 crores per year. The growth in the industry is primarily due to growth in the auto component industry with a market size of over USD 700 billion. In India also the car production is expected to be more than double by next 5 years, Hence foundry units have to double the capacity with structured organized and technological up gradation .In future , there has been ample scope for the Indian Foundries to forge strategic alliance with other developed nations that are on the verge of closure primarily due to high stringent pollution control regulation , high manpower cost and acute shortage of trained manpower to work for the foundries. This is where Indian players can make their presence felt in the international market by approaching foreign foundries to source casting from India at more economical price thus enhancing price ,thus enhancing their market share .In order to do these Indian Foundries have to equip themselves with the latest technology such as automation and casting simulation.

GLOBAL OUTLOOK European economy probably returned to growth in the current quarter after government spent billions of euros to pull the region out of the worst recession in more than six decades, the European Union said. The economics of Germany and France unexpectedly returned to growth path in the second quarter .Germany, Europes largest economy, whose GDP to rise by 0.7 % in the third quarter. (Business Line dt 28.08.09)

Keeping in view the following factors applicable to foundry industry, the scope of future export potential for the Indian foundry, however, cannot be denied. Stringent pollution control requirements in European countries restrict setting of foundry units in those countries.

Standardized product requirements have given an advantage to the cast iron exporters of India over their international competitors. Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in its report has pointed out Compared with expectations a few months ago, we now have a recovery which may be coming a little earlier and may be slightly stronger because financial conditions have improved more rapidly than we assume a few months ago ( Financial Express Dt 04.09.2009 )

Page 13 of 29

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK The casting industry has grown largely in response to the demands of the automotive industry. The trend toward relocation of automobile manufacturers production overseas and the demands for greater environmental protection caused serious challenges to the casting industry. Moreover, increasing demands for more lightweight automobiles and conversion to lighter materials is also becoming a key trend in automotive industry. The casting industry supplies castings not only for automotive industry but also for a number of other industries including farming and public works machines, machining tools and public services and engineering industries. It is indeed the backbone of many industries.

EXPORT MARKET A positive factor for export is the shrinkage foundry capacity abroad. The foundry industry in Europe and America had been subjected to severe financial crises in the nineties; one of major causes being the high cost of anti-pollution measures. In fact many running units, unable to cope with the strict pollution and environmental control laws, had to close down. The U.S. and European foundries population has declined by about one third over the last 20 year, thus opening up the market to Indian producers. But then the entry into the developed world will be with cleaner technology. Markets for metal castings are increasingly competitive and manufacturers are placing greater emphasis on high quality, competitively priced casting delivered in small quantities more frequently. Thus, there is great potential for the Indian foundry industry to forge strategic alliances with their counter parts
in the developed countries.

 DOMESTIC MARKET SCENARIO

More than 90% of all manufactured goods and capital equipment use castings as engineered components or rely on casting for their manufacture. Casting is a manufacturing process by which a liquid molten metal is introduced into a sand mould, allowed to solidify within the mould and then broken art to make a casting part. Casting is used for making parts of complex shape that would be difficult or uneconomical to make by other methods, such as cutting from a solid material. MAJOR

As has been mentioned earlier, M/s Dev Ispat. intends to setup a State-of-the-Art ferrous foundry unit for manufacture of 3 types of castings, namely High Duty Cast Iron (C.I.) Castings, Grey Iron (G.I.) Castings and Ductile Iron (D.I.) Castings.

Page 15 of 29

CAST IRON (C.I) CASTINGS:

Cast Iron is made by melting pig iron often along with substantial quantities of scrap iron and scrap steel in coal fired cold blast cupola Furnace. Depending on the application Carbon and Silicon content are reduced to the desired level, which may be anywhere from 2% to 3.5% and 1% to 3% respectively. Other elements are added to the melt before the final form is produced by castings. Examples of High Duty Cast Iron castings are sanitary fittings like manhole covers, drain pipes, building hard ware like decorative grills, weights and measures etc.

ABOUT INDUSTRY The industry has over 6500 foundries in Small, Medium and large scale the present production data of Indian Foundry is estimated at 5 (five) million tones comprising: Category Grey / Cast Iron Ductile Iron Steel Non-Ferrous & others Total PRODUCTION Production (in Million) 3.60 0.45 0.60 0.35 5.00

OF

GREY / CAST IRON:

No where, in any official or non-official circles, has any information been collected regarding the production separately for Grey Iron and Cast Iron category of Castings. A large portion of this capacity is primitive, in terms of modern technology, lacking in basic mechanization and the latest know-how. There are only few foundries which can meet the sophisticated needs of the end user industries. There are at present, 129 units in production in the organized sector

manufacturing various types of Grey Iron Casting, Including Alloy Iron Castings, having an approved capacity of 6.10 lack tones.

Page 16 of 29

There are about 30 units in the Ductile Iron Castings having a total installed capacity of 4.5 lack tones. This includes the Ductile Iron Spun Pipe production, out of 4.5 lakh tonnes, only about 50,000 tonnes are belong to engineering casting. A large portion of the installed, as mentioned above is unutilized. It should be noted here that, this is because of the imbalance in the industry between high grade foundries, which are few in numbers and low graded foundries are in thousands. Thus, a large portion of the installed capacity is geared for the manufactured of such items as railway sleepers, brake block, buffer block, tube wells etc. For which there is no capacity shortage. Our studies indicate that there is actually a capacity shortage for high duty grade Cast Iron, Grey Iron and Ductile Iron Casting required for the export, automotive and sophisticated industry. PRODUCERS OF HIGH DUTY IRON CASTINGS It would be appropriate to examine the capacity installed in the country, capable of meeting the demand arising out of the automobile and allied industries. This examination will be necessarily limited only to sophisticated foundries in the country, which are equipped to produce sophisticated high duty, high grade castings. In order to manufacture sophisticated castings the foundry must be equipped with Induction Furnace, modern moulding machine, sand plant, cold box and hot box machines for core making, effective fettling and heat treatment facilities, backed up with high grade laboratory facilities. A list of some important foundries which have modern facilities and which are capable of producing high duty iron castings required by automobile & allied industries in given in Table A. Some of these units are mainly captive. It will be observed from table that most of the important units are located in Western & Southern Zones and fewer in Northern & Eastern Zone. The estimated present total effective capacity including captive capacity for producing high duty & high grade castings are 4.0 lacs tones per annum and is expected to reach 4.5 lacs tones per annum by 2012-13

Page 17 of 29

Ductile Iron Castings The capacity by 2012-13 will be equal to 35,000 tonnes (Table B). Against this the demand has been estimated at 1,05,400 tonnes per year.

DIMENSION

OF

MARKET AVAILABILITY

The dimension of the market available for a revamped foundry will be around 6,00,000 tonnes of high duty Iron Castings(Cast Iron & Grey lron)and 65,000 tonnes Ductile Irons Castings respectively, with the maximum scope in the automobile and allied industries. The choice for a entrepreneur will narrow down to a sophisticated foundry with the following high grade sophisticated products. a) High duty Cast Iron and Grey Iron Casting for automotive and allied industries. b) Ductile Iron Castings for automotive and allied industries. The proposed sophisticated foundry unit will have installed capacity of

manufacturing 17,640 TPA of Coupla Furnace and 9,600 TPA of Hydraulic Press. It will need only negligible share of the surplus market. Considering the location advantages, availability of power and major raw materials within the state of the West Bengal itself, infrastructure facilities, employment potentiality and other socio-economic factors the proposed sophisticated casting manufacturing project is found to be viable proposition.

SCOPE OF MARKET SURVEY The broad objective of this survey are : a) b) c) To assess the current and likely demand potential during the coming few years for High Duty Cast Iron. To estimate the current & likely supply position for same. To estimate the short fall is any, in the installed capacity (supply) and broadly indicate the capacity & product mix of foundry which are technically & commercially viable

METHODOLOGY The supply/ demand position has been assessed by intensive desk research covering the organized as well as the small scale sectors. After delicenscing of ferrous foundry industry, it was difficult to get authentic data on foundry industry. The consultants have therefore used their own judgment based on the past data & field survey to arrive the current & future position for casting industry. The future demand & supply position for casting has been assessed on end-use method which involve: a) b) c) The identification of users industry and their present production capacity & future growth capacity. Establishing norms of castings requirement per product of users industry. Arriving at norms of castings requirement from above exercise.

Thus it has been possible to estimate the gap between supply & demand.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS Manufacturing Process consists of the following stages: Melting. Sand Preparation. Moulding. Felting Finishing.

CAST IRON (C.I.) CASTINGS C.I. Castings will be manufactured by melting the input material in a Cupola Furnace, which is the most common type of coal fired melting furnace in Indian Foundries. The proposed unit will be using a twin Blast Cupola (3TPH Capacity) fitted with Pollution Control Device. CUPOLA FURNACE Cupola Furnaces are the oldest type of Furnaces used in Foundries and roughly cylindrical and are most often used for melting Iron. Alternating layers of metal cock and lime stone are fed into the furnace from top. Coke makes up 8-16% of the total charge to provide the heat that melts the metal. Lime stone is added to react with imparities in the metal and floats to the top of the metal as it melts. This limestone / impurities combination is called Slag. By floating on top of the metal while it melts, the slag protects the metal from oxidation. Cupola furnaces are usually attached pollution control systems to capture air emissions, usually, the air emission systems use either high energy wet scrubbers that use to remove air pollution from the gas stream or dry bag house systems that use fabric filters to capture the emissions.
