IN THIS ISSUE Bhubaneswar News 2 The financial year 2006-07 has ended on a positive note, financially and operationally. Strong demand from steel industry worldwide has been an important factor for the encouraging results. However, optimum use of key resources like chrome ore and electricity has been our objective, to keep costs under control. We need to achieve longterm viability, as market prices and demand do and will fluctuate. Further integration to coal mining and expansion of electricity generation is now pursued expeditiously for adequate fundamental strength. Therubali News 4 Choudwar News 7 Lets hope and put our best efforts to better our operations in the current year. Consistency in operations is extremely important for us to implement our future plans. Mines News 11 Training & Seminar 14 Community Helpline 15 Managing Director Mr. Subhrakant Panda during his visit to NCM. CORPORATE MESSAGE Dear Colleagues, International market of ferro chrome gave us some anxiety in the last 2/3 months, culminating in a sharp drop in bench mark price. Fortunately, the slide is now arrested, we are starting to see increasing demand and next few months promise to be better. The real task today, however, is to manage inputs costs which is touching unprecedented high levels. Discipline in inventory, finance and marketing will give some relief, till we arrange cheaper source of major inputs like thermal coal. In the recently concluded A&C exercise, we have streamlined many HR practices, most of which are in acknowledgement of feedback through EES. Employee engagement, application and accountability is important when we are growing fast today; with major projects in Choudwar, Angul and overseas. Managing growth successfully needs the heart and soul of every manager and I am sure we will live upto the expectation of all our stakeholders. With best wishes, Yours sincerely, (Jayant Misra) Director (Corporate) Vol. XXII Issue 8 Reg 48228/88 For Private Circulation Only, April June 2011
