industry
HARIOM PIPE INDUSTRIES LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2023-24

The Indian pipe and steel industry has witnessed


significant growth in recent years, driven by rising
demand from various sectors such as construction,
oil & gas, water supply, and agriculture. The Indian
pipe industry is estimated to have a capacity of
~12+ MTPA and is projected to grow at 6-7% CAGR
over the next five years.

THIS GROWTH WILL BE SUPPORTED BY:

• Infrastructure Development
Over FY19-24, the Indian government’s Capex
outlay has ramped up to touch a massive
₹11 lakh crore (22% of total government
spending) vs. ₹3.9 lakh crore (13% of total

Market Influences and Overall Observations


Starting from FY21, there was a notable increase in the indices for most raw materials and steel itself, likely driven by
supply chain disruptions and economic recovery post-pandemic. Peaks in prices were observed in 2021 and 2022,
followed by a downward trend in 2023, indicating general market volatility influenced by external factors such as the
pandemic, economic recovery, and geopolitical events.
Trends in Raw Material Prices
From 2016 to 2019, coking coal prices showed variability, peaking around 2018 before declining in 2020. A substantial
rise occurred in 2021 and 2022, followed by a drop in 2023. Crude oil prices remained stable from 2016 to 2019,
dipped in 2020 likely to the COVID-19 pandemic, then surged sharply in 2021 and 2022, and eventually declined in
2023. Iron ore prices displayed marked volatility, with a significant increase from 2016 to 2018, fluctuations thereafter,
and a sharp rise in 2021 and 2022 before decreasing in 2023.
Trends in Steel Prices Indian Steel Industry
Steel prices followed an upward trend with fluctuations, India’s steel consumption rose significantly by 13.6% in

In our waste management strategy, we utilize advanced technologies such as Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP) and
pollution control equipment to reduce carbon emissions and capture carbon particles using bag filters for reuse in
the printing cartridge industry. We implement a Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant to reuse industrial wastewater, reducing
groundwater consumption. Additionally, we recycle slag metal and incorporate recycled steel scrap, lowering CO2
emissions and promoting circular economy principles. We also employ wet scrubbers to control zinc and acid waste
and use multi-cyclone dust collectors in our galvanizing units to manage emissions. These efforts contribute to
creating a sustainable environment for our community.

12.2 The Company had issued in FY 2015-16, Zero percent (0)% Redeemable Non Cumulative Preference Shares
(NCPS) with an option to the Board to redeem these NCPSs at a premium of 5 % at any time within a period
of 5 years or at a premium of 10% within a period of 10 years or at a premium of 20% if the shares are
redeemed after a period of 10 years. As the tenure of Preference Shares was about to complete 5 years the
Board initiated the process for KYC and redemption of the said preference shares with the consent of such
preference shareholders.
On non receipt of KYC from one of the preference shareholder, a board meeting was called up during 2021-
22 on October 25, 2021 and instead of redemption, the company decided and passed a Board resolution for
change in terms of redemption i.e. no premium on redemption with a maturity period at the end of 20 years
(against earlier period of 5 years or 10 years or beyond 10 years as the case may be) and the same was
approved in the adjourned preference shareholders’ meeting held on November 26, 2021 with one shareholder
present. The necessary filings for the same is complied with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
12.3 Out of the above said Preference share on the request of one of the shareholders (Mr. Sailesh Gupta) the
Company in its board meeting held on August 10, 2022 has redeemed 3,66,200 0% Series A Redeemable
Non cumulative Preference Shares of Rs.10/- each at a aggregate value of Rs. 36,62,000 out of profits of
the Company in compliance with the provisions of Section 55 and all other applicable provisions, if any, of

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, capital creditors and cash and cash equivalents and other
bank balances are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.
The fair values of non-current borrowings are based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate. They
are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs, including own
credit risk.
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
34.2 Fair Value Measurement
(i) Fair Value hierarchy
Level 1 - Quoted Prices (Unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from price)
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

iii. Market risk


Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realisable fair values or in future cash flows that may result
from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as result of
changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific
market movements can not be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.
iv. Foreign currency risk
The functional currency of the company is Indian Rupees (INR), but it engages in transactions denominated in
foreign currencies, thereby exposing it to exchange rate fluctuations. These fluctuations impact the company’s
costs of imports, particularly concerning raw materials. Adverse movements in the exchange rate between the
Rupee and foreign currencies increase the company’s overall debt position in Rupee terms without the company
incurring additional debt.
There has been no significant impact in Company’s financial postition with change in exchange rates.
v. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because funds are borrowed at
both fixed and floating interest rates. Interest rate risk is measured by using the cash flow sensitivity for changes
in variable interest rate. The borrowings of the Company are principally denominated in rupees with a mix of fixed
and floating rates of interest.
Currently the Company’s borrowings are within acceptable risk levels, as determined by the management, hence
the Company has not taken any swaps to hedge the interest rate risk.
