MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS


1. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENTS: Copper is the one of the most widely used industrial metal. It is best conductor of electricity with high electrical and thermal conductivity, high strength, malleability, corrosion resistance, precision castability. Because of its high ability to form alloys with other metals, it is used in wide range of industries including engineering, electrical etc. Copper consumption in a country is an indicator of its level of economic development. Per capita consumption in India is in the order of 0.50 Kg as compared to 10 Kg in developed countries. Demand for copper is expected to surge in the domestic market, too, considering the huge capacity additions in its consumer industries. Copper prices in the domestic market grew by 16.8 per cent y-o-y in the December 2010 quarter. The average expected growth of the construction industry of approx 7% - 9% p.a. will continue to drive the demand for copper building wires. In view of the growth in per capita disposable income the standard of living will improve; that will increase the density of copper usage in building wires as well. Further growth in power sector is likely to drive India's copper consumption. The country has an installed capacity of 163,000MW of electricity and according to 11th Five year plan Power Generation capacity addition is expected to be 78,700MW during the period (2008-2012). Other consumer industries like real estate, machinery, transport and consumer durables, too, are on an expansion spree. According to the International Energy Agency, India's power production is expected to rise by 15-20% annually and to meet that, India needs to invest $1.25 trillion by 2030 into energy infrastructure. From this new infrastructure, India's annual copper demand is expected to be more than double. During the year under review, your Company has successfully set up a state of the art facility to manufacture Copper tubes for Air-conditioning, Refrigeration and Plumbing application areas with the latest Cast and Roll Technology. The trial production from the new machinery done in phases has been successful and the commercial production will commence from June 2011. 2. OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS Opportunities Government of India has targeted 100% electrification of rural areas by 2012 which will in turn drive additional demand for copper in power generation, transmission and distribution sectors. Growth in construction industry will continue to drive the demand for copper building wires. Additional demand for copper will be created in urban mass rapid transport e.g. underground trains, monorails, etc. to reduce the traffic jams in cities like Mumbai, Delhi etc. Government has already started changing the method of delivery of LPG from Cylinders to Piping, thereby creating continuous demand for copper tubes. The new project of manufacturing copper tubes by Cast & Roll Technology will provide an Import substitution for the country. Being an Indian producer of copper products, there is a huge demand of these products in the Government Projects and many other Private Projects. Lesser Production Cost thus more competitive. Better Geography and product mix. Since the trade barriers and policies of countries like USA and Europe have provided a liberal hand to India, the demand for our products in those countries has accelerated. Apart from this we also foresee good business relations from GCC countries especially Qatar and Bahrain, where the growth in infrastructure is tremendously shooting upwards. Highest ever-copper semis production, improved operations efficiencies and continued cost reduction focus. Higher value added products in the existing production plant. Substitutes: With the relatively high volatility of copper prices (raw material) which are controlled by the London Metal Exchange (LME) over the last several years, increased attention has been paid to the issue of substitution. Some of the substitutes are Aluminium, Zinc, plastic, stainless steel, optical fibre etc.
Copper is non magnetic and non sparking. Because of this, it is used in special tools and military applications.

Threats

ANNUAL REPORT 2010-11


Competitive Rivalry: Competitive pricing strategy adopted by competitors due to trade economies may pose threat on market pricing leading to a reduced return as compared to expectations. New Entrants: Stiff competition is faced from Chinese producers as well as producers within the country which include the SSI (Small Scale Industry) and unorganized sector players.

Challenges Large imbalance between Indias smelting/ refining capacity and its limited production capacity in copper mining. In 2010, Indias copper refining capacity was more than 1 mm tonnes of copper. The copper ore production in India for fiscal 2010 was 3.2 mm tonnes. India accounts for 3% of the global output but still has to depend completely on the copper ore imports. The lack of sufficient supply of domestic copper ore has resulted in Custom smelters relying on imported copper concentrate to feed the domestic demand. [Source: Ministry of Mines] 3. PERFORMANCE: During 2010-11, the Company sold 7,389.928 tonnes of Copper & other related Products as against 5,353.605 tonnes in 2009-10, achieving a growth of 38.04 % of Copper & other related Product. 4. FACTORS INFLUENCING COPPER MARKET AND PRICES 5. Copper prices in India are fixed on the basis of the rates that rule on LME and Rupee & US Dollar exchange rate. The fluctuation in US Dollar is a major issue. Economic growth of the major consuming countries such as China, USA, Japan, Germany, India etc. Growth and development in the Infrastructure, Power Sector, Real-estate, Telecom and Electrical Industry. Natural calamities such as earthquakes and floods affect the production in mines and transportation thereby affecting the supply. Quality of ores.

FUTURE OUTLOOK The Indian Economy has shown remarkable resilience. The overall growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at factor cost at constant prices, as per Advance Estimates, was 8.6 per cent in 2010-11 representing an increase from the revised growth of 8.0 per cent during 2009-10, according to the Advance Estimate (AE) of Central Statistics Office (CSO). The growth rate of 8.6 per cent in GDP during 2010-11 has been due to the growth rates of over 8 per cent in the sectors of manufacturing, construction, 'trade, hotels, transport and communication', 'financing, insurance, real estate and business services'. Agricultural sector registered a growth rate of 5.4 per cent. The non-ferrous metals industry constitutes an important part in the Indian Economy. The industry fulfills the requirements of a broad range of leading sectors like automobile and automotive parts, infrastructure, engineering, electronics, construction, packaging etc. Year 2010-11 2011-12 Economic Growth 8.5% year-on-year 9 + -0.25% 8.2% Around 8% * Note : Finance Ministry to lower estimate in survey.

Indias per capita consumption of Copper is significantly less than that of China and substantially lower than the world average. However, Indias domestic Copper Consumption is growing rapidly. Copper demand for the country is at 6,50,000 tonnes by the end of 2011 as compared to 5,65,000 tonnes in 2010. The total copper consumption is estimated at 7,20,000 tonnes in 2011. [Source: Copper Fundamental Analysis 2011, Hedge Equities] The Copper Industry (both global and domestic) is presenting a significant path of growth and development and different sections of Industries such as telecom sector, power, automobile etc. are showing their interest with regards to Copper in their applications/products. Government initiatives will further increase the growth of the Copper Consuming Industries as under: The Power, Telecom and Railway Industries are expected to attract 30.4%, 13.2% and 12.7%, respectively, of the total projected investment in infrastructure of US$581.68bn during the 11th five year plan. The Power Industry has a target growth rate of 9% for fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2012 according to Ministry of Power. Investment of Rs.110 120bn per annum as required for the automotive industry to reach its growth potential during the 11th Plan period. [Source: 11th Five year Plan, Minstry of Power, Minstry of Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises] According to International Copper Study Group (ICSG) data, global growth in copper demand for 2011 is expected to exceed global growth in copper production and the annual production deficit, estimated at about 250,000 metric tons (t) of refined copper in 2010, is expected to be about 380,000 t in 2011. In response to prevailing high copper prices and increased end use demand, production increases are expected at operations curtailed following the 2008 economic crisis and, to a lesser extent, from startup of new operations. Industrial demand in 2011 in all of the major consuming regions is expected to continue the upward trend begun in 2010 and exceed the growth in refined production. ICSG expects world apparent refined usage in 2011 to increase by 4% from that in 2010 to more than 20 Mt. In 2012, refined usage is again expected to increase in all major world markets, with global demand expected to rise by more than 4%. In 2012, the production deficit is expected to narrow as refined copper production is expected to grow faster than demand. 6. RISKS & CONCERNS In the current scenario the major concern being the unrest in the Middle East and North Africa which has boosted crude oil prices and threatens to derail global economic recovery, which in turn, could depress copper demand. Also new projects are located in challenging regions which are politically more unstable and/or lack infrastructure raising extraction costs. Inflation, demand and supply dynamics, impact of debt crisis in Euro zone on copper prices are some of the risks involved. The fundamental outlook for copper is given in this report on the basis of prevailing market conditions. In case of any ambiguity, the situation for copper may change. Nissan has insured its assets and operations against a wide range of risks, as part of its overall risk management strategies. However, the Companys operations have historically shown significant exposure to the resilience to the fluctuations of economic and industry cycles, with demand for most of its key products continue to grow at healthy rates even at times of an overall economic slowdown. 7. INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS & THEIR ADEQUACY Your Company has a sound internal control system commensurate with its size. Internal Audit reports are discussed by the professionals & member of audit committee & suitable corrective actions as suggested are adopted by the management. We have always believed that transparency, systems and controls are important factors in the success and growth of any organization.
