33Directors’ Report Sterlite Annual Report 2005-06
Financial reviewYour company reported a record performance
during the year under review:
Gross turnover increased 85% from Rs. 4,279
crore in 2004-05 to Rs. 7,923 crore in 2005-06
PBIDTA increased 107% from Rs. 448 crore in
2004-05 to Rs. 927 crore in 2005-06
Net profit increased 380% from Rs. 106 crore to
Rs. 511 crore.
This attractive increase in revenues is primarily
attributed to the following reasons:
58% increase in copper sales from 1,71,860
tonnes in 2004-05 to 2,71,624 tonnes in 2005-06
54% increase in phosphoric acid sales from
1,09,243 tonnes in 2004-05 to 1,68,317 tonnes
in 2005-06
Higher and better TC/RC realisations
Enhanced TC/RC along with growth in volumes due
to faster ramp up of expansions contributed to
improved smelter performance. TC/RC realisations
increased substantially from 8.6 cents/lb in 2004-
05 to 23.1 cents/lb. There was a pressure on
operating costs due to a steep increase in the cost
of fuel and input chemicals and consumables,
which was more than offset by higher prices and
volumes leading to a better PBIDTA for 2006.
Share capitalSub-division and bonus issue: The Board at its
meeting held on 10 February 2006 approved the
sub-division of equity shares from Rs. 5 per share to
Rs. 2 per share and subsequent issue of bonus
shares in the ratio of 1:1 (one fully paid bonus share
of Rs. 2 each for every fully paid equity share of Rs.
2 each held by the members). The members’
approval was obtained through postal ballot held
on 29 March 2006.
Increase in the authorised share capital: As a
result of the subdivision of shares and the
subsequent issue of bonus shares, your company’s
authorised share capital of Rs. 90 crore (comprising
12,00,00,000 equity shares of Rs. 5 each
aggregating to Rs. 60 crore and 30,000,000
preference shares of Rs. 10 each aggregating to Rs.
30 crore) increased to Rs. 150 crore (comprising
60,00,00,000 equity shares of Rs. 2 each
aggregating to Rs. 120 crore and 30,000,000
preference shares of Rs. 10 each aggregating to Rs.
30 crore). Consequently the memorandum and
articles of association of the company were altered
for the respective clauses to reflect the above
amendments.
Pursuant to the members’ approval, at the
Committee of Directors meeting held on 7 April
2006 to determine the shareholders who would be
entitled for the sub-division of equity shares of Rs.
Sterlite AW 1-68 19/08/2006 9:54 PM Page 33
34 Directors’ Report Sterlite Annual Report 2005-06
2 each and issuance of bonus shares in the ratio of
1:1, Friday, 12 May 2006 was fixed as the record
date.
Foreign currency convertible bonds (FCCBs): In
October 2003, your company issued 1% foreign
currency convertible bonds (FCCB) aggregating to
US$ 50 mn. The holders of foreign currency
convertible bonds have an option to convert the
bonds into equity shares of the company.
As of 31 March 2006, your company allotted
40,99,400 equity shares of Rs. 2 each pursuant to
the conversion of 50,000 FCCBs. As a result, there
were no outstanding FCCBs as on 31 March 2006..
FinanceThe long-term loan of US$ 25 million taken from
UBI was repaid during the year. Your company
refinanced its secured floating rate notes to the
extent of US$ 50 million through unsecured
External Commercial Borrowings yielding lower
spreads compared with the original borrowing.
There were no fresh major long-term borrowings
during the year. Despite an increasing interest rate
scenario within India and globally, the interest cost
of the company was controlled through a judicious
mix of rupee and short term foreign currency
borrowings. Your company continued to enjoy
CRISIL’s highest rating of P1+ for its short-term
borrowings and AA rating for its long-term
borrowings.
DividendThe Board of Directors recommended an equity
dividend of Rs.1.25 per share of Rs. 2 each on an
increased share capital following the allotment of
bonus shares. The dividend outflow aggregated to
Rs. 80 crore compared to Rs. 38 crore (including
dividend tax) for the previous year.Your company
paid a dividend on 2,18,75,000 1% cumulative
redeemable preference shares of Rs. 10 each for
2005-06.
Operational overview2006 was a landmark year for your company. Your
company completed major expansions like 1,20,000
tpa of copper smelting, 1,20,000 tpa of copper
refinery and 90,000 tpa of the copper rod plant,
following which its annual smelting capacity
increased to 3,00,000 tonnes.
We produced 2,73,048 tonnes of cathodes, an
increase of 59% over the previous year. From these
1,66,497 tonnes of copper rods were produced, an
increase of 33% over the previous year. There was a
focus on increasing the production of value-added
copper rods, which was 61% of the total
production during 2005-06. As planned, a
maintenance shut down of the Tuticorin smelter for
21 days was completed in April 2006 following
which the smelter was re-commissioned. The
production of phosphoric acid increased by 64%
from 1,04,902 tonnes to 1,71,893 tonnes and of
sulphuric acid by 54 % from 5,46,647 tonnes to
8,44,376 tonnes during 2005-06.
During the year under review your company
consolidated its leadership position within India

with record 1,06,279 tonnes sales of copper with a
market share of 26%. Your company exported
1,65,354 tonnes of copper (previous year 89,296
tonnes), a growth of 85%. Exports included 79,350
tonnes of copper rods against 56,061 tonnes in the
previous year. The Middle East, China, Japan,
Philippines and Thailand were the key export
markets and we continue to develop a larger

Managementdiscussion and analysis
Performance overviewThe year 2005-06 was a landmark for the company,
reflected in an impressive growth in all the
company’s products and driven primarily by
increased capacity, higher domestic demand and
productivity gains across various units.
During the year under review, the company
completed and operationalised major expansions,
which included 1,20,000 tonnes of copper smelting
in addition to previous year’s installed capacity of
1,80,000 tonnes, a new cathode refinery of
1,20,000 tonnes and 90,000 tonnes of a copper rod
plant at Tuticorin.
Copper segmentThe company’s copper operations reported an
improvement across various parameters:
In the copper segment, the primary business of
Sterlite Industries, the total metal output
increased by 59% from 1,71,992 tonnes to
2,73,048 tonnes.
Total metal output in the copper rod segment
increased from 1,25,406 tonnes to 1,66,497
tonnes.
Production of phosphoric acid and sulphuric acid
increased by 64% and 54% from 1,04,902 tonnes
to 1,71,893 tonnes and from 5,46,647 tonnes to
8,44,376 tonnes respectively.
In terms of sales, the company continued to
maintain its leadership position in the copper
cathode and rod markets in India.
The company sold 1,06,279 tonnes of copper in
India as against 82,561 tonnes in the previous
year, an increase of 29%, representing a
domestic market share of 26%.
The company exported 1,65,354 tonnes of
copper (previous year 89,296 tonnes), a growth
of 85%. Exports included 79,000 tonnes of
copper rods against 56,000 tonnes in the
previous year.
Overall sales revenue from copper sales was Rs.
7,020 crore (previous year Rs. 3,494 crore), a
growth of 101%.
The company sold 3,69,440 tonnes of sulphuric
acid during the year under review, an increase of
about 40% over the previous year. Sulphuric acid
sales revenue registered an increase from Rs. 41
crore to Rs. 58 crore.
Phosphoric acid sales were at 1,68,317 tonnes
(value Rs. 312 crore), a growth of 54% and 70%
in terms of quantity and value respectively over
the previous year.
A new revenue stream was introduced by making
selenium as a commercial payable metal in the
anode slime, contributing Rs. 14 crore during

2005-06. Anode slime sales generated Rs. 930
crores in 2005-06 (previous year Rs. 347 crore).
Despite a significant increase in the input prices of
all key raw materials coupled with higher energy
prices, the cost of production (till the cathode
stage) declined from 7.1 cents/lb to 6.1 cents/lb on
account of higher volumes, better metal recovery
and improved by-product realisation. During the
year under review, the company also received an
export incentive in the form of Target Plus of Rs.
100 crore for incremental exports (in 2004-05 over
the exports of 2003-04 and in 2003-04 over the
exports of 2002-03).
Conductor segmentDuring the year under review, the company sold
56,962 tonnes of conductors, an increase of 14%
over the previous year. Revenues were Rs. 649
crore, a 28% increase over the previous year,
primarily due to an increase in aluminium prices.
The transmission business of the company
continued to maintain its domestic leadership
position. Exports to new markets like South Africa,
Sudan, Oman, Gambia, Ghana and Namibia
commenced during the year under review. Power
Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) continued to
be the company’s single largest customer
generating orders worth Rs. 2.78 billion for the
company during the year. With a sustained
emphasis on the power sector by the Government,
the demand derived from the transmission and
distribution segments is expected to increase.
Industry overview and developmentsCopper Copper is a fundamental material used in
residential and commercial construction, electrical
and electronics equipment, transportation,
industrial machinery and consumer durable
products.
Consumption: The consumption of copper is
directly related to global economic growth.
Presently, global growth continues to be robust,
largely driven by a sustained growth in China, India,
Russia and Brazil. The underlying Chinese
consumption trend remains strongly positive while
domestic metal availability is still tight driven by
industrialisation, urbanisation and consumerism.
Besides, demand growth for the material is still at
an early stage in other major developing economies
like India.
The global refined consumption in 2005 was
estimated at around 16.85 million tonnes, expected
to increase by 6.1% to 17.88 million tonnes in 2006
with Asia continuing to be the growth engine. New
applications and the increased use in the power
sector will also drive the growth in this segment. In
2007, world copper consumption is forecast to
Sterlite AW 1-68 19/08/2006 9:54 PM Page 41
42 MDA Sterlite Annual Report 2005-06
increase by a further 3.5% to 18.1 million
tonnes, largely due to a continued growth
coming out of China.
In the first quarter of 2006, copper
consumption in China was estimated to have
increased by 2% over the previous quarter,
driven by strong economic and industrial
growth. For the remainder of 2006 and
throughout 2007, China’s copper consumption
is expected to remain relatively high, reflecting
a strong demand from continued
industrialisation, urbanisation as well as an
expansion in the electric power grids.
In the first quarter of 2006, US copper
consumption rose by 1% year-on-year, driven
in a large part by an 8% boost in construction
spending (which accounts for around half of
total US copper consumption) relative to the
same period in the previous year.
Production: The global refined copper
production in 2005 was about 16.66 million
tonnes against a consumption of 16.85 million
tonnes. In 2006, the world production of
refined copper is forecast to increase by 6.9%
to 17.81 million tonnes, largely because of
expansions in existing refined capacity in
Chile. In 2007, the world-refined production is
forecast to increase further, driven largely by
expansions in China and Chile.
Price: The industry fundamentals drove copper
prices upward since the last quarter of 2003
and well into 2005. The average LME price of
copper for 2005-06 was 4,099 US$ per tonne
against 3,000 US$ per tonne in 2004-05 in
spite of the LME stock increasing from 28,875
tonnes as on 31 March 2005 to a level of
1,21,375 tonnes as on 31 March 2006. Prices
continue to remain buoyant.
For 2006 as a whole, world refined copper
consumption is expected to exceed production
and stocks are expected to remain low.
Ongoing labour disputes, the potential for
additional supply disruptions and persistently
low stocks are expected to encourage the
continued targeting of the copper market by
investment funds and financial speculators. A
deficit in the market, strong growth and
declining metal stocks point to robust metal
prices in 2006 as well.

TC/RCStrong market conditions and improved contract
terms led to better realisations. TC/RC realisations
increased substantially from 8.6 cents/lb in the
previous year to 23.1 cents/lb. During the year,
large mines reported encouraging production,
while problems at some smelters kept spot prices
for TC/RC close to their historic high levels for a
considerable period. The effect of stronger TC/RC
globally in the first half of the year was felt mainly
in the second half. A softening of TC/RC terms is
likely to be reflected in future settlements. The
company continues to make a good progress in its
strategy of securing long-term contracts with
mines.
The spot and long-term TC/ RC trend for 2004-06 is
given below.
IndiaThe consumption of copper in India is estimated at
around 4.60 lakh tonnes per annum, 3% of the
global consumption. From net importer, India is
evolving into net exporter on account of a rise in
production; exports were nearly 55% of existing
production levels, estimated at 6.50 lakh tonnes.
In India, reporting strong economic, retail,
infrastructure and capital expenditure growth, the
consumption of copper is expected to grow by
about 7% across the medium term. This will be
driven by a growing demand for copper in electrical
equipment, transformers and wiring applications
across all sectors. A low per capita consumption of
copper in India at 0.36 kg in 2005 as against a
global average of 2.1 kg points to a significant
potential in the sustainable growth of the Indian
copper industry. A rapid growth of the Indian
copper market will ensure a wider demand for
Sterlite’s expanded capacity and maintained
leadership position.

Emergence of India as a global sourcing hub for
automobiles and spare parts
ConcernsLarge zero duty imports in various forms continue
to affect the Indian market. Of these, imports from
Sri Lanka were the highest. The concerned
authorities have recognised that the import of
copper and copper products from Sri Lanka do not
meet the value-addition criterion. However, despite
their intervention to rectify the situation, the
import of duty-free copper continues, even though
there has been a 30% reduction in imports from
that country. Efforts are on to stop the misuse of
the trade agreement with Sri Lanka.
There has also been a substantial increase in the
zero customs duty copper rod imports (under the
ITA agreement) for onward use in the JFTC cable
industry. The domestic copper industry finds it
difficult to compete with this imported material as
it is required to pay customs duty on its
concentrate imports.
Financial review Capital structureThe total shareholders’ fund as at 31 March 2006
aggregated Rs. 4,122 crore of which equity capital
was Rs. 56 crore comprising 11,17,38,469 shares of
Rs. 5 each. Of the above equity shares, 40,99,400
equity shares were allotted as fully paid upon
conversion of 50,000 Foreign Currency Convertible
Bonds.
The Board at its meeting held on 10 February 2006
approved the division of equity shares and a
subsequent issue of bonus shares in the ratio of 1:1
(i.e. one fully paid bonus share of Rs. 2 each for
every fully paid equity share of Rs. 2 each held by
the members). The members’ approval was obtained
through a postal ballot held on 29 March 2006.
DividendThe Board of Directors recommended an equity
dividend of 62.5% i.e. Rs. 1.25 per share of Rs. 2
each on the increased share capital arising from the
allotment of bonus shares. The dividend outflow
aggregated Rs. 80 crore compared to Rs. 38 crore
(including dividend tax) in the previous year. The
company paid a dividend on 2,18,75,000 1%
Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares of Rs. 10
each for the financial year 2005-06.
Reserves and surplusAs at 31March 2006, the reserves and surplus of the
company aggregated Rs. 4,045 crore. Retained
earnings accounted for 30% while the share
premium reserves accounted for the balance.
Reserves and surplus during the year increased by
Rs. 542 crore, a growth of 15%.
DebtThe company’s debt declined 16.59% from Rs.
2,440 crore in the previous year to Rs. 2,035 crore
during the year under review due to a decline in
secured loans from Rs. 627 crore to Rs. 126 crore.
The company repaid its secured foreign currency
loans of Rs. 390 crore as well as a significant
portion of its working capital loans from banks,
which declined from Rs. 124 crore to Rs. 26 crore in
Sterlite AW 1-68 19/08/2006 9:54 PM Page 44
45MDA Sterlite Annual Report 2005-06
2005-06. Unsecured loans increased by 5.31% from
Rs. 1,813 crore in 2004-05 to Rs. 1,909 crore in
2005-06.
Capital employedThe total capital employed by the company
increased by 2.47% from Rs. 6,328 crore to
Rs. 6,485 crore in 2005-06. The ratio of sales to
capital employed increased from 0.73 in the
previous year to 1.16; PBIDTA returns on the capital
employed improved significantly from 7.07% in
2004-05 to 14.30% in 2005-06.
Gross block and investmentsFollowing the completion of its capacity expansions
and on-going capital-work-in- progress, Sterlite’s
gross block increased by Rs. 120 crore to Rs. 2,685
crore (excluding the deduction in CWIP on account
of impairment) during the year under review.
The company followed a conservative investment
policy. It continued to focus on increasing
investments in subsidiaries. Investments declined
from Rs. 2,986 crore to Rs. 2,672 crore on account
of a decline in current investments (other than
subsidiaries). Efficient treasury management and
improved market conditions resulted in an increase
in the average pre-tax rate of return from 6.42% to
7.30%.
Inventories and debtorsInventories increased by Rs. 448 crore from Rs. 572
crore as on 31 March 2005 to Rs. 1,019 crore as on
31 March 2006, mainly on account of an increased
scale of operations coupled with higher copper
prices and higher precious metal prices compared
to the previous year. In spite of a rising inventory
level, the inventory turnover cycle declined from 48
days of sales in 2004-05 to 46 days in 2005-06.
Even as debtors increased by Rs. 167 crore from Rs.
409 crore as on 31 March 2005 to Rs. 576 crore as
on 31 March 2006 on account of increased
operations and higher copper prices, the debtor
turnover cycle declined from 34 days to 26 days
due to improved receivables management. Some of
these debtors were interest-bearing debtors while
more than 95% of the company’s debtors were less
than six months old.
Loan and advancesLoans and advances increased by Rs. 754 crore from
Rs. 499 crore as on 31 March 2005 to Rs. 1,252
crore as on 31 March 2006 due to an advance of
Rs. 500 crore given to Bharat Aluminium Company
Limited (subsidiary company of Sterlite) against the
share application money.
RevenuesNet sales and service revenue increased by Rs. 3,512
crore to Rs. 7,504 crore during the financial year
2005-06, a growth of 88% over the previous year.
The company was able to achieve this substantial
increase on account of higher volumes, better
prices and improved efficiency.
Exports as a proportion of the total sales increased
from 38.98% in 2004-05 to 53.80% in 2005-06
while total exports (FOB basis) increased 156% by
Rs. 2,584 crore to Rs. 4,238 crore during the year
under review.
The ratio of salesto capitalemployedincreased from0.73 in theprevious year to1.16; PBIDTAreturns on thecapital employedimprovedsignificantly from7.07% in 2004-05to 14.30% in2005-06.

The existingemployees were
continuouslygroomed through
formal andinformal programs
such as trainingand mentoring.The new talent,fresh as well as
experienced ideallycomplemented the
existing talent,thus increasing
competence.
Other income aggregating to Rs. 116 crore
primarily represented interest earned, dividend
income and profit earned from the sale of long-
term and current investments. Other income as a
proportion of the total income was just 1.52%
(previous year 2.81%) in 2005-06.
Raw materialsCopper concentrate, the primary raw material of
the company, was imported. The price of copper
concentrate was linked to the prevailing LME prices
of refined copper. The fully owned copper mines of
the company catered to around 11% of the
requirements of concentrates while the rest was
sourced from the other mines through a mix of
long-term contracts and spot purchases. The
company also imported rock phosphate for
conversion into phosphoric acid.
The total value of raw material consumed stood at
Rs. 6,330 crore, an increase of 96% compared to Rs.
3,226 crore in the previous year. The increase was
due to increased production volumes and higher
raw material prices during the year under review in
relation to the prevailing LME and LBMA prices.
Other manufacturing expensesOther manufacturing expenses (comprising power,
fuel, stores, spares and repairs etc.) increased from
Rs. 246 crore in the previous financial year to Rs.
372 crore in 2005-06. This accounted for 4.96% of
the net sales compared to 6.16% in the previous
year, reflecting improved manufacturing
efficiencies.
Overheads Overheads comprised personnel expenses, selling
and distribution expenses as well as administrative
and general expenses; this accounted for 3.34% of
the net sales compared to 4.38% in the previous
year.
Interest outflowIn spite of a decline in debt during the year under
review, net interest expenses increased by Rs.18
crore to Rs. 120 crore primarily on account of a
global increase in interest rates.
DepreciationDepreciation increased by Rs. 14 crore from Rs. 114
crore in 2004-05 to Rs. 128 crore in 2005-06. The
company provided depreciation on a straight-line
basis.
Corporate income taxCorporate income tax provision for the financial
year 2005-06 was at Rs.148 crore (excluding
provision for deferred tax) compared to Rs.14 crore
in the previous year. The company moved from
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) in the previous year
to a full tax treatment in 2005-06 on account of its
increased profits.
Internal control systemsThe company invested adequate control systems to
monitor all aspects of operations and managerial
functions. All operations were carried out in
conformity with well-defined processes. The
compliance of these processes and refinement of
Sterlite AW 1-68 19/08/2006 9:54 PM Page 46
47MDA Sterlite Annual Report 2005-06
the same to reflect learnings and changes in the
business environment were reviewed periodically.
Regular audits of all business activities - such as
purchase and stores, marketing, personnel,
production, maintenance works, finance and
accounts, IT systems including SAP R3 etc. - were
conducted by internal audit teams. The internal
audit function was jointly carried out with external
management audit firms of international repute.
The audit observations were reported and discussed
by the senior management and the important ones
were also presented to the Audit Committee of the
Board. The audit observations were discussed with
operational teams and feed back shared. The
recommendations generated were implemented
appropriately.
Human resources Given the people intensive nature of the company’s
business and the company’s recognition of its
employees as critical stakeholders, the company
remained committed to its Human Resources
function. Clearly the success of the company was
primarily driven by the commitment and
contribution of its employees.
The company continued to infuse talent in its
various functions through a multifaceted
recruitment process that laid a special emphasis on
areas such as domain expertise, cross functional
abilities and softer skills related to people
interaction and environment sensitivity. The
company recruited fresh and young talent from
leading national institutions including
management institutes and engineering schools. A
rigorous selection process ensured that only
deserving candidates were made job offers. A first-
class graduation was considered as the minimum
requirement for a new candidate to be considered
for employment at any level.
The young recruits underwent specially designed
training programs that familiarised them with all
the aspects of the company’s business following
which they were encouraged to work in a defined
function for meaningful contribution to the
company and themselves. The existing employees
were continuously groomed through formal and
informal programs such as training and mentoring.
The new talent, fresh as well as experienced ideally
complemented the existing talent, thus increasing
competence. For new projects, a talent pool of
existing and new talent - experienced and fresh -
was set up to benefit from an internal and external
track record.
Employee evaluation and appraisal was done via a
rigorous process covering various aspects of
domain expertise as well as skills in non-core areas.
The process aimed at creating and sustaining a high
performance culture. The company possessed
appropriate employee mechanisms of rewards and
recognition.
Risk managementAll businesses are faced with internal as well as
external risks. While internal risks are controllable,
Sterlite AW 1-68 19/08/2006 9:54 PM Page 47
48 MDA Sterlite Annual Report 2005-06
external risks like risks arising out of natural
calamities or change in government policies are
beyond the influence of organisations.
Sterlite’s approach to risk management comprises
the identification of controllable risks by its senior
management and the timely adaptation of
mitigation measures to minimise the effect of the
risks. It realises that successful implementation of
its project depends upon understanding the
inherent risks within the project and timely
adaptation of measures to mitigate the potential
risks.
Industry riskThe positive outlook of the sector is being driven by
increasing infrastructural spend and rising
consumerism within the country. The demand for
copper, which is majorly consumed by the wires
and cable industry (almost 44.74% of total copper
consumed), is expected to increase driven by
increasing government focus on development of
power infrastructure within the country. The
housing boom as well as the increasing demand for
consumer durables is also a positive indicator for
the growth in demand of the copper industry.
Besides, India is also emerging as a hub for the
automobile and auto ancillary industries, other
major consumers of copper within the country.
Even globally the demand for copper is being driven
by the emerging markets of Asia, especially China.
China’s rapid industrialisation – developing
electricity and telecommunications networks while
expanding transport infrastructure and motor
vehicle fleets – is acreating massively adding to the
demand for copper.
Commodity riskCopper is a commodity business. Being a custom
smelter impact of price movement is minimal.
However, the demand and supply of concentrate
drives the TC/RC margins. Besides, the company’s
marketing strategy, directed at customer service
leading to customer satisfaction, provides it with an
edge within the commoditised industry.
Raw material riskSourcing of raw material at the right time and at
the right price is essential for the success of any
commodity business. To mitigate the risks of market
volatility as well as ensure short-term availability,
the company sources raw material through long-
term contracts as well as spot markets. Backward
integration through captive mines in Tasmania
protects the company from market vagaries and
ensures a potentially steady supply of raw material
at competitive costs. The location of the plant
closer to the port also makes the company
logistically more competitive with respect to the
imports of copper concentrates and exports of the
end product.
Operations riskThrough the right choice of technology the
company has ensured its technical and operational
competitiveness. The company’s smelter at
Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu, is based on a proven energy-
efficient and environment friendly technology
called ISA SMELT, sourced from the world leaders in
copper smelting technology in Australia. Similarly,
its refinery also works on the ISA technology while
its copper rod plant uses a state-of-the-art
Sterlite AW 1-68 19/08/2006 9:54 PM Page 48
49MDA Sterlite Annual Report 2005-06
technology sourced from Italy. The use of
contemporary technology has resulted in improved
recovery and a consistently high quality of the end
product. Besides, the company is constantly
focusing on cost and operation efficiencies that
protect its operating margins.
OutlookThe ongoing growth in the global copper,
aluminium and zinc markets are consistent with the
trend in 2005-06. Growth in all these metals will
primarily be driven by Asia and emerging markets
such as China and India. Real Indian GDP grew at
an average rate of 6% per annum over the last ten
years and is now growing at almost 8%.
The Indian Government has continued its focus on
investment, job creation, rural development,
infrastructure growth, employment, health and
education with a stress on comprehensive
economic reforms. Industrial growth in India has
risen by around 10% per annum and similar growth
is expected to continue.
Investments in the power generation and
transmission, housing, real estate, automobile and
transportation sectors are expected to drive the
growth of the copper, aluminium and zinc sectors
into double-digits, increasing per capita metal
consumption.
In 2006-07, a higher production from expanded
capacities is expected at the company. Volume
growth, productivity and process improvements
(derived through the use of modern tools like Six
Sigma) are expected to reduce production costs. An
increase in volumes will ensure growth and a
relative insulation from changes in the commodity
cycle.

10. In connection with a guarantee facility obtained by Sterlite Opportunities & Ventures Limited (SOVL) from ICICI Bank in favour of trustees for Securednon- convertible debentures of Rs. 250 Crores issued by SOVL during the financial year 2003-04 the company granted an option to the ICICI Bank torequire the company to purchase all the receivables under the guarantee agreement that arise during the currency of the facility. The outstandingbalance of the above Non Convertible Debentures as at 31st March, 2006 is Rs. 10.35 Crores .
11. Copper, Aluminium and Precious Metals are internationally traded commodities and prices draw reference from quotations on the London MetalExchange (LME) / London Metal Bullion Association (LMBA). The company faces commodities price risk arising from the time lag and quantity differencebetween the purchase of Copper Cocentrate, Aluminium and sale of Copper Cathod/Rod, Precious Metals and Aluminium Conductors (AAC/ACSR), whichis being managed effectively. This is done by hedging exposures in respective commodity exchanges through future contracts in the exchange or by theuse of other appropriate derivative instrument.
In the absence of a specific accounting standard governing commodity hedge accounting in India, the company has adopted the principles enumeratedin the International Financial Reporting System - "Financial Instruments : Recognition and Measurement " to capture the real essence of commodityhedge transactions in the books of account . The earlier accounting practice was to recognise the gain/loss on account of commodity hedge transactionsonly when the underlying transactions are settled .
Accordingly, the hedged items and the commodity derivative instruments which are designated as fair value hedges are remeasured at their fair valueas on the balance sheet date and change in their value are accounted to the profit and loss account.The changes in the fair value of hedged items areaccounted as hedge receivable or payable as the case may be . This change in accounting policy has resulted into increase in loans and advances by Rs. 157.24 Crores and provisions by Rs. 77.78 Crores and decrease in raw material consumption by Rs. 153.35 Crores and consequential increase in theprofit by an equal amount.
12. The company has received a letter dated 1st march 2006 bearing reference F.No. 31(4)/2006-Met.1 from the Government of India wherein theGovernment made an offer to allow the company to buy the Government's 49% stake in Bharat Aluminium Company limited at a specified pricesuggested by the Government. In response to this letter and subsequent discussions held with the Government officials, the company has given a chequefor Rs. 1098,89,75,408.20 on 30th March 2006 and has requested the Government to transfer the shares to the company. The amount paid by thecompany is subject to final determination by an arbitrator in respect of the interest claim. Upto the date of adoption of accounts by the Board, theGovernment has not encashed the cheque and therefore above has not been considered in the Financial Statements of the company for the year ended31st March 2006.
13. (a) The Debentures referred to in Schedule 3 of Balance Sheet at A are due for redemption as follows:
7.87% debentures on 10th April, 2010 of Rs.40 Crores ; 8% debentures on 10th April, 2013 of Rs.60 Crores.
(b) The Debentures referred to in Schedule 4 of Balance Sheet at B(iii)are MIBOR linked and are due for repayment as follows :

15. During the year 2004-05,the company issued 3,58,60,049 equity shares of Rs.5 each at a premium of Rs.545 aggregating to Rs.1972.30 Crores on Rightsbasis to existing share holders.In terms of Clause no. 6.5.7.1 of SEBI (Disclosure and Investor Protection) Guidelines, 2000 (as amended) proceeds ofRights Issue has been utilised as under :
16. The company in earlier years gave loans of Rs. 27.64 Crores to M/s. India Foils Limited (IFL) and invested Rs. 24 Crores in Cumulative Preference sharesof IFL . It has also given a guarantee of Rs. 182 Crores for the loans taken by IFL from banks and Financial Institutions. The accumulated losses of IFLhave exceeded the net worth of the company and the company is a sick company within the meaning of section 3 (1) (o) of the Sick Company (SpecialProvision) Act, 1985. In view of the ongoing business and financial restructing including disinvestments initiated, by IFL/its promoters, the amount ofpermanent diminution in the value of the investments and losses on account of loans and guarantees as mentioned above cannot be quantified at thisstage. In view of this no provisions are made in the books of accounts for the above loans, investment and guarantees.

23. Copper, Aluminium and Precious Metals are internationally traded commodities and prices draw reference from quotations on the London Metal
Exchange (LME) / London Metal Bullion Association (LMBA). The company faces commodities price risk arising from the time lag and quantity difference
between the purchase of Copper Concentrate, Aluminium and sale of Copper Cathode/Rod, Precious Metals and Aluminium Conductors (AAC/ACSR),
which is being managed effectively. This is done by hedging exposures in respective commodity exchanges through future contracts in the exchange or
by the use of other appropriate derivative instrument.
In the absence of a specific accounting standard governing commodity hedge accounting in India, the company has adopted the principles enumerated
in the International Financial Reporting System - "Financial Instruments : Recognition and Measurement " to capture the real essence of commodity
hedge transactions in the books of account . The earlier accounting practice was to recognise the gain/loss on account of commodity hedge transactions
only when the underlying transactions are settled.
Accordingly, the hedged items and the commodity derivative instruments which are designated as fair value hedges are remeasured at their fair value
as on the balance sheet date and change in their value are accounted to the profit and loss account.The changes in the fair value of hedged items are
accounted as hedge receivable or payable as the case may be . This change in accounting policy has resulted into increase in loans and advances by Rs.
157.24 Crores and provisions by Rs. 77.78 Crores and decrease in raw material consumption by Rs. 153.35 Crores and consequential increase in the profit
by an equal amount.
24. In BALCO, in respect of all fixed assets relating to the new plant capitalised in the current year, depreciation has been provided on the written down
value method at the rates specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 as against the erstwhile policy of straight line method for existing fixed
assets. Consequently the depreciation charge for the year ended March 31, 2006 is higher by Rs. 74.67 Crores, inventory is higher by Rs 17.17 Crores
and the profit before taxation is lower by Rs 57.50 Crores.
25. In HZL, the accounting policy relating to valuation of ore has been changed from Re. 1/- per MT to lower of cost and net realisable value resulting in
an increase in profit before tax for the year by Rs. 6.87 Crores.
26. The company has received a letter dated 1st march 2006 bearing reference F.No. 31(4)/2006-Met.1 from the Government of India wherein the

outcome of the inquest into this matter has not yet been finalised. TCM's liability is limited by the insurance excess payable of Rs. NIL (Previous
Year Rs. 0.34 crores).
(k) In January 2006, SV Partners made a claim against TCM acting as liquidators of Faminco Mining Services Pty Ltd (Faminco) (in liquidation). TCM
had previously been a party to a mining agreement with Faminco. SV partners allege that a reduction by Faminco in its balance account was a
preferential payment to the Company as a creditor and therefore recoverable. TCM has obtained release from all contractual obligations form
Faminco. TCM has responded to SV partners on this issue and refuted SV Partners' claim that the payment was a preference payment. To date, TCM
