29 Sep 2011 Evaluate

TataMetaliks has entered into an agreement with Fomento Resources group fordivestment of Redi facilities, as part of a strategic review of its portfolio. TheRedi plant, with a capacity of 300,000 tonnes of pig iron, happened to be TataMetaliks’ largest facility. In 2010-11, Tata Metaliks’ total production stoodat 477,115 tonnes. The agreement entailed selling the facilities for aconsideration of Rs 180 crore, apart from working capital. The proceeds from the divestment would be utilized forreshaping the balance sheet and future strategic investment. On a consolidatedbasis, Tata Metaliks ended FY 2010-11 with a marginal profit of Rs 0.57 crore.

TheRedi plant, which was acquired in 2006 through an auction had been facingproblems on the raw material front. The structural competitiveness of thefacilities was severely affected with the increase in global raw materialprices in the last five years. While the company made earnest attempt to secureraw material at Dongarpal mines in Mahasrashtra, it is estimated that it wouldtake significant time to commercially mine the iron ore including its qualityand suitability for use at Redi. Apart from Redi, the company has operations atKharagpur in West Bengal. Also, Tata Metaliks is looking to set up a steelplant in Karnataka subject to iron ore allocation.
