Industry overview

India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Strong domestic demand coupled with several reforms that the government has undertaken are on track to maintain the economic growth momentum going forward. As nonferrous metals find widespread applications across the economy, the current policy measures provide a tremendous opportunity for the development of the Indian non-ferrous metals industry in the future. A major push is expected to emerge from the governments ‘Make in India’ initiative, which aims to increase the manufacturing share of GDP from the present 17 per cent to 25 per cent by the end of 2025. Under this initiative, the government has identified 25 sectors such as Automotive, Power, Defence manufacturing, etc. which have extensive applications of various non-ferrous metals, and therefore, can provide a boost to the industry. Furthermore, these metals are witnessing increasing applications in the existing sectors as well as exploring many newer applications.

Government initiatives for Recycling Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) is in the process of formulating National Resource Efficiency Policy (NREP) which aims to mainstream resource efficiency across all sectors, wherein Aluminium sector has been considered as a priority sector. Ministry of Steel has brought out Steel Scrap Recycling Policy which envisages a framework to facilitate and promote establishment of metal scrap recycling centers in India. Such centers will ensure scientific processing & recycling of ferrous scrap generated from various sources. The policy framework shall provide standard guidelines for collection, dismantling and shredding activities in an organized, safe and environmentally sound manner.

Risks and concerns

Fluctuations in prices of raw material: The principal raw material used in its manufacturing process is brass scrap, which is mainly imported by the company from USA, UK, Europe and Middle East. Its cost of raw materials consumed for Fiscal 2023 was Rs 45,130.06 lakh, which represented 91.57% of its revenue from operations. The price of brass and brass scrap primarily depends on the Copper price on London Metal Exchange (LME). Since it have long lead times in its supply chain due to high imports, the scrap markets and forex rate may fluctuate in the intervening time and it may not be able to adjust prices of its finished products against what it would have paid for its raw materials which exposes it to a significant risk of price and currency fluctuations. The prices and supply of these raw materials are also affected by, among others, general economic conditions, competition, production costs and levels, the occurrence of pandemic (such as COVID-19), transportation costs, indirect taxes and import duties, tariffs and currency exchange rate.

Dependent upon few key suppliers: It procures a large portion of brass scrap from a few key suppliers, with whom it does not have any long-term supply contracts.

Inadequate supply of brass scrap caused either by a sudden change in the prices or imposition of any new taxes or loss of any of its existing major vendors for any reason could have a material adverse effect on its business operations and profitability.
