ISSUER PROFILE

A Brief Summary of the Business /Activities of the Issuer and its Line of Business:

BALCO is one of the three large aluminium players in the country, with a production volume share of around 18% during 2011-12

BALCO, a 100% Government of India (GoI) undertaking was the first public sector company in India which started producing Aluminium in 1974. On March 2, 2001, the GoI sold 51% of its stake in the company to the Sterlite Group for a gross consideration of Rs 553 crore. The company had an Aluminium smelter capacity of 100,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) at that time.

After the takeover in March 2001, the company initiated a large capex program involving investments totalling around Rs 4000 crore till 2006-07, which was largely for setting up

1. 245,000-tpa smelter (Rs 2200 crore, commissioned in November 2006),

2. 540-MW captive power plant (for Rs 1300 crore, commissioned in March 2006)

The total smelter capacity as on date is 245,000 tpa. However, with low prices of aluminium during 2008 to 2010, BALCO has suspended operations at the 100,000 tpa facility based on Soderberg technology which had high cost of operations. Currently only the pre-bake technology smelter is being used. The pre bake technology is more efficient than Soderberg technology, as it facilitates better alumina feed control, higher productivity and lower raw material and power consumption. Thus the current operational smelter capacity is 245,000 tpa.

Business Model:

Aluminium manufacturing involves the following THREE major steps –

 

  1. Extraction of the ore (Bauxite) from mines

 

  2. Refining of the ore to get Alumina (Aluminium Oxide)

 

  3. Smelting of Alumina to obtain Aluminium

Aluminium

BALCO

BALCO was incorporated in the year 1965 as a Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) and since then the Company has been closely associated with the Indian Aluminium Industry, in a pivotal role. Located in Korba in the state of Chhattisgarh in central India, our majority owned subsidiary, BALCO is one of the four primary producers of Aluminium in India. Government of India (GoI) divested 51% equity in the year 2001 in favour of Sterlite Industries (India) Limited. Balance 49% is with GoI. After disinvestment, a pre-baked smelter of capacity 245 kt per annum has been established in the year 2004. The Company is playing a crucial role in introducing aluminium as a potential alternative to other metals like Steel in construction, and Copper in power transmission industry. The smelter plants are being supported by uninterrupted power supply through Captive Power Plants - 270 MW at Jamnipali, Korba and 540 MW at smelter site.

Vedanta Aluminium Limited

Vedanta Aluminium Limited (VAL) is owned 70.5% by VRPlc and the balance stake of 29.5% is with Sterlite. VAL is setting up a large scale integrated aluminium project in the State of Orissa in Eastern India comprising of an Alumina Refinery at Lanjigarh and an Aluminium Smelter at Jharsuguda with associated power facilities.

As part of Phase I, VAL has set up an alumina refinery of 1 mtpa capacity along with 90 MW Co-generation Captive Power Plant at Lanjigarh and 0.50 mtpa Aluminium Smelter along with 1215 MW Captive Power Plant (CPP) at Jharsuguda in Orissa. Work at the 1.10 MTPA Jharsuguda-II Aluminium Smelter project is in progress.

During 2010, MoEF has denied approval to VAL for expansion of its refinery project at Lanjigarh as also the ministry has denied Stage II clearance to Orissa Mining Corporation to start mining of bauxite from Niyamgiri mines for supplying bauxite to VAL for its refinery project.

VAL had been operating its 1 mtpa refinery by sourcing bauxite from various states in India and for operating its 0.50 MTPA smelter at Jharsuguda, it was importing the balance requirement of alumina.

However, because of non-availability of adequate quantity of bauxite, the company has suspended operations of its 1 MTPA refinery at Lanjigarh with effect from 5th December 2012. At present, the entire alumina required for the smelter at Jharsuguda is being imported.

It is the first public sector enterprise in the country which started producing aluminium in 1975. In 1987-88, a captive power plant of 270 MW was added to cater to the power requirement of the unit. BALCO has been the first in the Indian Aluminium Industry to produce the Alloy Rods, which is a Feedstock for all Aluminium Alloy Conductors, needed for today’s power transmission lines. In the last 41 years, BALCO has built up a production capacity of 200,000 tonnes per annum of alumina production capacity, 350,000 tonnes per annum of smelting capacity and expanded its fabrication facility to include three Properzi Rod Mills, three pig casting machines, integrated hot and cold rolling mills, and captive power plants of 810MW capacity.

Till 2001, BALCO was a public sector enterprise owned 100% by Government of India (GoI). In the year 2001, GoI divested 51% equity and management control in favour of Sterlite Industries (I) Limited.
