Financial performance

During the year under review, the gross turnover of your Company increased
by 11.4% from Rs. 12,277.74 Crore to Rs. 13,676.47 Crore. The increase in
turnover was primarily due to increase in the average LME prices from US$
5,885/MT to US$ 6,112/MT and also on account of depreciation of the Indian
Rupee against the US dollar.

same period decreased by 1.5% from Rs. 1,653.94 Crore to Rs. 1,628.41 Crore

establish its initial carrying cost. Subsequently, the conversion option
has been measured at fair value through profit and loss with changes in
fair value to be recognised in the Profit and Loss account and the Notes
been carried at amortised cost. The accounting treatment of Notes has
resulted into the profit net of tax for the year higher by Rs. 34.55 Crore.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

General economic outlook

The fiscal year 2009-10 began as a diffi cult one with the aftershocks of
the depressed economic and market conditions of 2008 and 2009. There was a
significant slowdown in the growth rate in the second half of 2008-09,
following the financial crisis that began in the industrialized nations in
2007 and spread to the real economy across the world. The GDP growth rate
in 2008-09 was 6.7%, with growth in the last two quarters hovering around 6
per cent. There was a general apprehension that this trend would persist
for some time, as the full impact of the economic slowdown in the developed
world worked through the system. It was also a year of reckoning for the
policymakers, who had taken a calculated risk in providing substantial
fiscal expansion to counter the negative fallout of the global slowdown.
The continued recession in the developed world, for the better part of
2009-10, meant a sluggish export recovery and a slowdown in financial flows
into the economy.

Yet, over the span of the year, the Indian economy posted a remarkable
recovery, not only in terms of overall growth figures but, more
importantly, in terms of certain fundamentals, which justify optimism for
the Indian economy in the medium to long-term. Your Company also feels that
the worst is over and is fully geared to take advantage of the improved
economic indicators.

report as required under Clause 49(IV)(F) of the Listing Agreement with the
Stock Exchanges is provided in a separate section of this Annual Report.

Annexure-A

Statement containing particulars required under the companies (Disclosure
of particulars in the report of Board of Directors) Rules, 1988 and forming
part of the Directors' Report for the year ended 31 March 2010.

(A) Conservation of energy:

a) Conservation of natural resources continues to be the key focus area of
our company. Following are some of the important steps taken in this
direction.

i. Waste Heat Recovery based power generation capacity utilization
increased from 7.5 MW to 8 MW.

ii. LPG consumption reduced by 1 Kg/MT of anode by covering exposed
launders to avoid heat loss.

iii. ISA furnace fuel oil line was modified to minimize oil consumption 1.2
T/day.

iv. New ID fan was installed in primary smelting scrubber instead of
running two fans thereby power consumption was reduced by 4,800 units.

v. Fuel oil consumption reduced by 0.4 T/day by increasing the temperature
of FO and proper insulation.

vi. Gravity circulation in electro winning process was converted into
forced circulation to speed up the process thereby power consumption was
reduced by 2,500 units.

vii. Solenoid Operated Valves were provided in plant air lines in feed
preparation area to minimize plant air consumption by 5,000 M3/day.

viii. De-clusters were installed in LPG pipeline in Continuous Cast Copper
(CCR) to reduce LPG consumption.

ix. Bus bar gapes were filled with silver alloy to increase the current
effi ciency thereby reducing power consumption of 500 units/day.

x. Impellers were trimmed for electrolyte circulation pumps and power
consumption was reduced by 207 units.

xi. Covering of cell house bottom area during winters and various other
initiatives have resulted in the reduction in steam consumption to 80
kgs/MT in 2009-10 against 88 kgs/MT in 2008-09 at Silvassa refinery.

xii. Natural briquette has been used for firing boiler in place of Furnace
Oil at Silvassa. Use of briquettes has reduced the steam cost from Rs.
1,737/MT steam to Rs. 1,422/MT steam at Silvassa.

xiii. 5A burners have been put up in Anode Casting Plant at Silvassa and
the blowers have also been modified during the year. These have resulted in
the reduction of Furnace Oil consumption from 57.02 lit/MT to 55.23 lit/MT.

xiv. In CCR and Refinery plants high efficiency pumps have been installed
that have resulted in savings of 4 Units/MT in CCR and 1 Unit/MT in
Refinery.

b) Additional investments and proposals, if any, being implemented for
reduction of consumption of energy

i. Installation of Vapor absorption machine in Sulphuric acid plant to
generate refrigeration from the waste heat and utilize for intake air
cooling in oxygen plant.

ii. Energy efficiency lighting system for Tuticorin complex leading to
reduction in power consumption.

iii. Energy efficiency coating for all major pumps to save 3% of energy for
pumping.

iv. Interconnection of RHF-E supply and return lines to stop return water
pumps during non-granulation time.

v. To build an automated energy management center to optimize and fine tune
all energy flow across the system.

vi. Replacing compressed air with blower air for cake drying in ETP.

vii. Use of LNG at CCR Chinchpada in place of LPG.

viii. Use of twin lobe blowers in place of compressed air in PMB, ASWM and
other places

ix. Use of fan less cooling tower in place of conventional cooling towers

x. Exploration of use of solar energy for heating CSM wash waters and
Boiler feed water

xi. Replacement of 8 motors and pumps with high efficiency pumps at both
CCR and Refinery

xii. Use of Flux Maxios at CCR Piparia

xiii. Nickel Sulfate plant expansion to reduce Ni levels in electrolyte
resulting in power savings to the tune of 13 Units/MT

c) Impact of above measures in a) and b) for reduction of energy
consumption and consequent impact of cost of production of goods.

The efforts taken to conserve energy will not only bring down the cost of
production significantly, but will also help us to preserve the
environment.

d) Total energy consumption and energy consumption per unit of production.

As per Form A annexed.

(B) Technology absorption

Efforts made in technology absorption As per Form B annexed.
