Vardhman Industries - Rs.38.00
Vardhman Industries Ltd (VIL) is promoted and managed by Kapil Jain. Initially, VIL produced only steel ingots but in 1992 it set up a small galvanizing plant for steel pipes. Today, this Delhi based company is a reputed manufacturer and exporter of steel ingots, galvanized plain & galvanized corrugated sheets and coils. It also produces cold rolled coils and other flat products. Apart from metals, VIL has diversified into manufacturing Vanaspati Ghee and Refined oil.
VIL is also putting up a colour coating plant of 41250 MTA capacity at Rajpura in District Patiala in Punjab at a total estimated cost of Rs.15 cr. This plant will be operational by early 2006. It is also setting up a 10 MW power plant in Jharkhand and also its Steel Melting Shop (SMS) to manufacture about 68000 MT of billets at the same site. Both are expected to commence operations by November 2005.
VIL is concentrating more on exports by exploring new markets in Dubai, China, West Africa, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Maldives, Canada etc. It has made a major dent in the export market despite stiff competition and intends to take its exports beyond Rs.100 cr. With the increase in production, its diversified product mix, expected economies of scale and highly responsive market conditions, VIL can close FY06 with sales of around Rs.275 cr. and NP of Rs.6.50 cr. This means an EPS of Rs.8 on its current equity of Rs.7.94 cr. Investors are recommended to buy this scrip at declines with an expectation of 50% return in 12~15 months.
