Dear Members of IIF Fraternity, That the year gone by has been turbulent will be a gross understatement since the dimensions of turbulence – both the intensity and the unfamiliarity have been extraordinary. More importantly, we think it is likely to subsist in the near future. It may be the “NEW NORMAL” that we may have to get used to. Concern for inadequate transparency in the public and business life, loss of confidence in the political and business leadership, environmental challenges occupied centrestage in our domestic and global discourse. We, in a way, appear to be drifting in the ocean of uncertainty with no clarity as to when we will get out of the morass. It is only now that we see some early signs of reversal of the downward trend in US/China/Europe. However, the macroeconomic factors within the country further eroded the confidence about the near term future across industry segments. Restrictive availability of key input material – some on account of directive by the courts on illegal mining in some parts of the country, serious impediments to execution of approved power and other infrastructure projects on account of many delays in regulatory approvals, ballooning bill of oil import and enormous zeal displayed by the legislature in huge welfare expenditure, perhaps at the most inopportune time, is taking its toll on the growth rate/exchange rate/revenue and fiscal deficit. Obviously, the casting industry – both ferrous and non-ferrous operated in this difficult business environment. It encountered many issues – some were imposed by the evolving business environment within the country and others were internal challenges to rapidly expand the productive capacity in a cost-effective manner.

ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2012-13 | 1

I am aware that an annual report normally lists the achievements of the year gone by. For organizations, including IIF, one year is just an extension of the previous year and will be followed by many years of existence; thus the work needs to be assessed in continuum of time where we cross milestones but never reach the destination. I, therefore, wish to begin by listing the CHALLENGES confronting the casting industry and the renewed desire of IIF to serve the membership better. Challenges before the Industry 1. Raw Material Availability: Principal raw material for ferrous foundry is iron bearing material, sand and energy (in terms of hard coke for cupola operation and power for induction furnace operators) and for non-ferrous foundries, it is scrap. Availability of these have come under strain on account of illegal sand/iron ore mining, enhanced requirements of sand for infrastructural projects; imposition of additional tax on import of non-ferrous scrap. A revisit by the GoI on these issues is called for, for example, sand mining license can be issued to the foundry clusters as actual user/availability of scrap at competitive rates need to be appreciated and addressed on priority. 2. Environment Regulation: Foundries particularly smaller ones (production of < 100t/ month) constitute the bulk of the population. These operate on discontinuous mode (operating about 2/3 times a week). Larger ones who have more regular operation are conscious of the environmental impact of their processes. They have made appropriate technological interventions. However MoEF has classified foundry as RED category industry. We think that a distinction needs be made between the industry and the units within it. The units which comply with environmental norms should be categorized as red/orange or green as the case may be. This will provide an inducement for the units

2 | ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2012-13

to upgrade themselves and migrate to higher classification. IIF has begun the work to define the Green Foundry parameters and would like to engage with the regulatory authorities on this issue. We think that energy-efficient operation and environment compliance are the cornerstone of business sustenance. 3.Technology Upgradation: The casting industry needs to scale up to organise itself to produce 30 million tonnes per annum (from the present level of ~10 million tonnes/annum) riding on the long-term growth forecast of the principal demand drivers: automobile, engineering and infrastructure. We also think that the defence sector is soon going to emerge as one of the major demand drivers for sophisticated castings. Volume and value upscaling call for upgrading the technology as well. We think that GoI needs to broaden and broadcast its technology assistance extensively.

Challenges before IIF IIF has recognized that the challenges confronting the industry can be addressed collectively and individually by the membership to a certain extent. While we seek assistance, we would not be complacent to face the headwind of difficult times and treacherous terrain of competition. We realize that we should organise ourselves better to address such challenges and offer superior value proposition to the membership. w Sensitize the policy makers to the challenges before the casting industry and its – vital role as mother industry in supporting the National Manufacturing Policy. – potential for promoting inclusive growth through employment generation in the SME segment. w To enhance the VISIBILITY of IIF amongst the policy-makers so that its concerns are understood

INNOVATE CONSERVE & PROSPER

and addressed. Make our efforts for ENERGY EFFICIENCY and move towards green foundry and to accelerate it further. w To evolve a shared value which will reflect the collective aspirations of the IIF fraternity and the membership. w To develop an integrated information system to make hi-integrity business transaction and bring transparency in financial matters i.e. make IIF a “process and system driven” organization. w To institute structural changes in IIF and its functioning. w To fashion its style of operation which makes office bearers accountable to the membership who repose trust in them. These challenges can be addressed comprehensively over a longer timeline. It was, however, imperative that we make a beginning. The Annual Report, therefore, is a report card for the year 2012-13. Few things were rolled out, some achieved moderate degree of success; others are yet to gather steam. But, all interventions were sharply focused to make the basic building blocks of IIF contemporary. POLICY ADVOCACY: A case has been made out with the Government of India for setting up a Development Council (DC) for the foundry sector. We feel only a Development Council for Foundries would be able to facilitate such largescale interventions, as is the need of the hour. The proposed Development Council is envisioned as the nodal agency, comprising different stakeholders under the umbrella of the Government, to take care of the interests of the foundry sector. The issues of inter-ministerial co-ordination on foundry matters could also be taken care of by this forum. IIF has been pursuing the matter of re-categorization of foundries from red category to orange/green based on the green technology and processes being used by

INNOVATE CONSERVE & PROSPER

several foundries. As it is not logical to categorize all foundries in one category ( i.e. RED),the matter will be taken up by the IIF Delegation which will meet the Additional Secretary, MoEF for their consideration and further perusal. To meet the shortage of raw material and ensure availability of power at affordable rates, IIF has made representations to the appropriate authorities including the Electricity Regulatory Commissions of different States. IIF is also working with the Ministry of MSME through the cluster development approach to bring more and more small and medium foundries in a region under the cluster so that they can be aware and avail of various schemes offered by the Government. IIF is making an effort to skill up manpower to meet the rising demand in foundries. Another effort in this direction is the introduction of a vocational course in foundry under the aegis of CBSE. IIF through its Modular courses in foundry technology also tries for continuous up-gradation of foundry personnel at various levels. IIF consistently makes a conscious attempt through its National Committees, Centres of Excellence and office bearers at various levels to liaise with the policy-makers for the well-being of the industry and put forward the points of view of the foundry fraternity at large. FUSION – The Integrated Information System: IIF is working to create a Technology Platform (hardware + software) which will seamlessly connect the Regions and the Chapters with HO, integrating all the functional areas. NEW STRUCTURE: To usher in greater accountability in the system, IIF has initiated structural changes with the appointment of Secretary General, Regional Directors and redefining the roles of Directors of Centers of Excellence.

ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2012-13 | 3

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY: With long-term IFEX Agreement, there is greater scope for more revenue generation and sustained campaign to promote IFEX. w IIF is introducing process and system audits for IIF HO, Regions and IFC to ascertain process gap wrt IT claim and has also started revising the IFC manual. w IIF is working on the development of a suitable CODE OF CONDUCT in line with those followed by other large Industry Associations and Chambers of Commerce for internal communication among its members and elected, nominated or co-opted persons/office-bearers in various positions. w IIF is framing new guidelines for the selection of VICE PRESIDENT (President Elect) so as to enable selection of the ‘best available candidate’ who is more representative of IIF and the industry. Comparative study with the best in the world: As a part of this exercise, IIF organised a visit to Japanese foundries (courtesy Japanese Foundry Association). We wish to make it an annual exercise to accelerate the pace of improvements. Unfinished Agenda There is a lot more we need to do; I have listed a few: 1. Make foundries an attractive place to work in: Unless a young person entering the industry finds that it adds value to him/enhances his skill/

4 | ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2012-13

gives him a superior work life experience, we would continue to face skill shortage. It is an area which should engage our serious attention. 2. Deploy Appropriate Technology: Casting equipment suppliers/technology providers need to engage with foundries to develop equipment which meet cost-effective process requirements (not a case of expensive over-kill). It should be such that it makes Indian foundries globally competitive at a fraction of the developed world cost levels. I am sure, these will be addressed with greater zeal and enthusiasm. “Far away there is the sunshine, our highest aspirations We may not reach them, But look up and see their beauty Believe in them and try to follow where they lead.” The NOB received unstinted support of the National Council, the office bearers in the Regions and the Chapters as also of the staff and executives in the Regions/Centres of Excellence/Chairmen of various Committees, who carried out their functions and discharged their responsibilities with dedication and diligence; more importantly, the active members – to all of them, we express our grateful thanks. With best wishes,

benefit and growth. He was hopeful of seeing the eastern zone, especially West Bengal, as the country’s leading exporter in the near future. Mr. Sehgal assured a high export rate from the eastern foundry sector, if the Government provided the required facilities for this mother industry. IIF President Mr Harsh K Jha said that the need of the hour for the foundry sector was technological development. He said, technologically India is severely lagging behind compared to many advanced countries and appealed to the industry leaders and technocrats to concentrate on technological development to produce quality castings at lower cost to survive in the competitive global market. Keynote speaker Mr Viresh Oberoi, Managing Director & CEO of mjunction services referred to the landmarks in the evolution of the human civilization and of industrial development starting from the domestication of animals to the latest state of business models, largely enabled by IT/software application. He touched upon the revolutionary inventions that have led to the present ultramodern business model from the conventional mode. Mr Oberoi referred to the portals mjunction and coaljunction, as the driving forces of marketing of steel and coal which successfully and transparently connects the smallest vendor to the largest stakeholder in the value supply chain. Mr Oberoi felt that the Indian foundry industry needs to gain momentum, aided by IT, for its speedy growth in the global arena. Portals like mjunction, he said, can play a significant role in pulling the sector to the forefront of economy by connecting the producers/suppliers and their vendors of all sizes. The inaugural session of the 61st IFC also featured the exchange of an MoU between Japan Foundry Society (JFS) and IIF, a landmark in the history of Indian foundry industry.

Mr. S S Kejriwal, Chairman, Kiswok Group said he was happy to be a part of an organisation that was hosting a mega event like the 61st IFC and IFEX 2013 in the Eastern Region, the birthplace of the Indian foundry industry. Mr Kejriwal lamented the fact that foundries in the eastern region were not technologically updated. He cited the example of Kiswok, which ranks among one of the best and most modern foundries in the country.

minimize the gap between demand and supply. He advised Indian foundries to concentrate on quality improvement and involve every employee in the implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) with everyone working as a team. He said taking care of one’s employees is a social responsibility of the corporate. Safety should be considered as one of the top priorities. Education and training are also important for the development of the human resource.

Industryspeak

Mr Manish Banerjee, CEO of Mal Metallics, Jamshedpur, briefly reviewed Indian foundry sector’s performance and highlighted the present issues of the industry that needed to be addressed seriously.

This unique platform, provided by the 61st IFC, was shared by leaders of India Inc. The current picture of the foundry industry highlighting the issues and challenges of the metal casting sector were presented by industry leaders and management experts who also suggested possible solutions in this regard. IIF President Mr Harsh K Jha, in his welcome address, threw light on three main components of success in the global casting market – cost, quality and timeliness of delivery. Mr Pankaj Lochan of Tata Steel, a management expert, through his presentation analysed the causes of success as well as downfall of several global players. Change, speed and competitiveness, Mr Lochan described as the three essentials for the sustenance of an organisation. He cited examples of Sony, Nokia, British Airways, Apple and so on. Mr Lochan presented a case study on Tata Steel and mentioned that Tata Steel is one of the few steel producers who are making profit in spite of cutthroat competition. The company’s business excellence department is performing very well in implementing change in the required areas of the organisation, he said. Their TQM practice also involves the bottom line workers. Tata Steel is a recipient of the prestigious Denim Award. Mr Mayank Kejriwal, Director of Kiswok Industries started his deliberation with a presentation on the present state of the metal casting industry in India. He opined that Indian foundries urgently needed to gain competitiveness and higher productivity to

Students’ Forum At the 61st Indian Foundry Congress in Kolkata on January 27, 2013, the Organising Committee of this mega event provided a platform called the Students’ Forum, where corporate CEOs, and academicians highlighted the positive aspects of the metal casting industry. A large number of engineering students from different engineering colleges and universities took part in this Forum held at the Ballroom of Hyatt Regency. Mr Ravi Sehgal, Chairman, Organising Committee, while addressing the Forum emphasised the need for sustainable growth of the foundry industry in India. He reminded the audience that China is far ahead of India in the race of production in volume as well as with respect to productivity. He said 70 per cent of India’s casting production at one time was attributed to the eastern part of the country. Today, the share has fallen to even less than 1.5 per cent. He cited the example of Kiswok, a successful casting producer of this region and invited entrepreneurs to pump in more capital. He urged the students to join the manufacturing sector where, he felt, they could learn a lot. He hoped that in the next 20 years, Indian manufacturing Inc would become a prominent leader in the global arena. Mr Swapan Ghosh, Managing Director, Kharagpur

INNOVATE CONSERVE & PROSPER

Metal Reforming Industries Pvt Ltd, spoke about his association with the metal casting industry. He had built his career in the foundry industry and achieved several milestones. He said if the youngsters wanted they could follow in his path. Mr Mayank Kejriwal, Director, Kiswok Industries narrated the success story of Kiswok Industries, an export-oriented castings producing company, and the various systems followed there that had enabled them to succeed. Referring to the present slowdown in the metal casting sector, due to reduction in sales in automobile sector, he predicted that fiscal year 201314 would also not be encouraging. He alerted Indian foundries about import of cheaper castings from China by various OEMs. Mr Kejriwal stressed the need for gaining more competitiveness to produce castings at lower costs without compromising on quality. In his opinion, improvement of information flow in the following way is of utmost importance: • Online corrections for quality and productivity • Regular interactions at different levels to reduce communication gaps • Systematic and documented approach to production and processes Human resource management system prevailing at Kiswok was also highlighted in the presentation. Dr Goutam Sutradhar, Professor, Jadavpur University who had taken keen interest in organising this event, said the purpose of holding such an event is to provide a platform to students to interact with the industry owners, government, policy makers and stakeholders. Dr B Ravi, Professor, IIT Bombay presented a brief history of the implementation of simulation technique in Indian foundry sector. He was very vocal about practising e-foundry. He said, e-foundry service has already been launched under his initiative and was being utilised by foundries all over India. Dr Ravi highlighted the advantages/benefits of e-foundry that is available online almost free of cost for production

INNOVATE CONSERVE & PROSPER

of defect-free quality casting. He said that foundries in the SME sector with small capital could utilise e-foundry facilities without spending large amounts. Mr Manish Banerjee, CEO, Mal Metallics appealed to the foundrymen to take advantage of simulation technique in producing sound castings without extra investment. He said foundries in the small-scale sector need to improve the quality of their product, which they could do through simulation technology. He urged the students to build a career in the foundry industry and help this traditional industry grow sustainably. Mr Punit Agarwal, Director of JPK Metallics was happy to see such a large gathering of engineering students and that efforts were being made to regain the past glory of Eastern India and that young blood is flowing into this industry, especially in West Bengal. He shared his belief that under the guidance of seniors, young entrepreneurs/engineers would soon be able to transform Howrah and its adjoining areas into a hub of quality castings. He advised the students present to see the modern facilities at various foundries to decide upon this mother industry as a career option. Cast Source Meet Cast Source Meet at the 61st IFC, held at Hyatt Regency on January 27 & 28 was a vibrant platform, where casting buyers from India and abroad met potential vendors with a view to communicating their specific requirements.

Eminent personalities from several ministries of the Government of India and industry leaders from India and abroad deliberated on issues related to energy and environment and made an appeal for energy optimisation and use of green technology to save the environment for the future generation. In a message of support and wishing all success to the event, Ms Ela Gandhi, granddaughter of Mahatma Gandhi, said she believes that we have to take every possible step, both to conserve energy as well as to ensure that we do not further plunder the resources of the earth in order to generate energy. This would entail both research on how to ensure the use of renewable energy and how to generate energy safely, economically and without causing any further damage to our fragile environment. Mr Ravi Sehgal, Organising Chairman, 61st IFC stressed the need for concerted effort to keep the environment clean and make this planet a safe habitat for the future generations. Chief Guest Mr Kariya Munda, Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha, described casting as an essential part of technological growth of any country. The Indian INNOVATE CONSERVE & PROSPER

foundry sector, he said, produces 7 million tonnes of castings and employs 0.5 million directly and 1.5 million indirectly, mainly from socially and economically weaker sections of society. Technological innovation in the foundry industry is urgently needed for the growth of the industry, in particular, and the country’s economy, in general. He also spoke about the challenges faced by the industry like pollution control regulations, waste disposal, dearth of skilled manpower and consequent high manpower cost and maintaining international quality standard at competitive cost. Mr Munda, encouraged all stakeholders to reduce energy intensity in the foundry sector through adoption of proven and commercially available technologies. Dr H Sundara Murthy, Chairman, Energy Saving Commission, WFO and Past President IIF in his address referred to Vivekananda’s visionary thinking for the development of the country through industrial development and education. In line with Vivekananda’s thinking and advice, Dr Sundara Murthy said that the women as a resource of the country still needs to be properly utilised in its development. In his opinion, the teachings of Vivekananda, the country’s greatest youth icon should be popularized among the youngsters today. IIF President Mr Harsh K Jha while addressing the Forum said that rising energy cost is a serious concern in most of the manufacturing industries including foundry. He advised to put in place energy-efficient production processes as well as minimise waste. He appealed to all to plant more trees in order to restore the ecological balance. IIF President appealed to the Government to shift foundry conforming to specified environmental norms from red to orange category with regard to environmental pollution. He also requested the government representatives on the dais to consider foundry industry’s issues positively. Mr P B Rastogi, Director, Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India while delivering his theme address said that foundries are required for the growth of human civilisation. The sector has

ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2012-13 | 11

a significant impact on the country’s economy. He advocated setting up foundry clusters in various locations in the country. He mentioned that 80 per cent of the total energy usage in the world is from nonrenewable sources and 20 per cent is from renewable sources whereas in India the ratio is 70 per cent and 30 per cent respectively. He further added, to save energy we must take various steps like recycling of scrap (aluminium), use of energy-efficient furnaces, recycling of water and heat recovery and re-use etc. Biomass, he mentioned, could be utilised as an alternative energy. In respect of environmental protection, Dr Rastogi suggested reducing solid waste (slags) and utilising the same meaningfully. Green technology is needed for sustainable growth of the industry, he said. In his keynote address, Mr P Gulati, Director, Maruti Udyog Ltd outlined the country’s energy consumption scenario and emphasised the introduction of fuelefficient and eco-friendly cars. Mr Gulati referred to Maruti-Suzuki’s green initiatives and achievement in this area. He recommended technology upgradation, use of natural gas, energy-efficient motors and LED lights to save energy. Mr R K Behera, Chairman, RSB Group of Industries & member, BOG, NIT, Rourkela while commenting on the Industry-Academy interaction front said that the metal shaping industry is energy-intensive and highly polluting, hence energy-efficient and green technology need to be put in place. According to him, e-foundry practice could go a long way to alleviate the situation. Regarding sustainable technology, Mr Wolfgang Andree, President of ABP Induction Systems defined sustainability as a strategic priority for foundries. Use of green technology, he said, is an essential criterion for survival of the foundry industry and energy efficiency is the need of the hour in the metal casting sector. Mr Andree felt that the government should help MSME foundries to adopt eco-friendly production techniques as well as curb pollution. Mr R Mishra, Chairman & Managing Director, HEC

12 | ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2012-13

and Mr Vijay Prakash Saha, former Chairman, WFO Energy Saving Commission and Chairman of this session also addressed the forum. Mr G S Agarwala, Chairman, Century Metal Recycling Pvt Ltd and Chairman, Energy and Environment Committee in his address highlighted the importance of metal recycling, especially aluminium scrap. He stated that considering the benefits accrued from recycling like cost savings, energy savings, reduced emission, etc, recycling has become imperative these days. Mentioning the major dependence of metal sectors on scrap import, Mr. Agarwala suggested and recommended the following measures: 1. As aluminium cannot be manufactured by recycling primary aluminium, the same duty should not be applicable for both primary aluminium and aluminium scrap. 2. Urgent import of aluminium scrap, while discouraging the import of primary aluminium. 3. In line with almost all countries in the world, there may be zero duty on import of aluminium scrap, while hefty duty on import of primary aluminium may be levied. Also export duty may be levied on primary aluminium to discourage export. Mr Amish Panchal, Chairman, IIF Western Region focused on the activities related to energy savings and environmental care organised regularly by IIFWR. He mentioned the various projects undertaken by the Region like energy audit of MSME foundries, inhouse training on energy efficiency, etc. He presented interesting statistical information on energy consumption and savings potential in the foundry sector. Mr S B Misra, Managing Director, Minex Metallurgical facilitated the release of the theme document. Dr Navojit Basu, Convenor, Save Energy and Environment Forum offered the formal vote of thanks. Valedictory Function The concluding session of the annual event was the INNOVATE CONSERVE & PROSPER

valedictory function held on January 29 at Hyatt Regency. Mr Ravi Sehgal, Organising Chairman, 61st IFC reviewed the happenings of the mega event. Mr Harsh K Jha, President, IIF extolled the members of the Organising Committee for flawless arrangements. He thanked the delegates both from India and abroad for attending the Congress and making the event a grand success. Prof M Chakraborty, Director, IIT Bhubaneswar, was the Chief Guest. He reiterated that energy is a vital issue pertaining to the foundry industry but the environmental aspect is also very important. Green technology in the foundry sector needs to be urgently cultivated to comply with stringent environmental norms to protect the environment. Prof Chakrabotry informed that a science lab is being set up at IIT Bhubaneswar where all kinds of stateof-the-art testing facilities would soon be available. He urged foundries, irrespective of their size, to take advantage of these facilities. He further informed that under his leadership, an environment of industryacademia relationship/partnership is being created at IIT Bhubaneswar. He urged IIF to launch e-learning system and provide hands-on practical training to students at foundries. Guest of Honour Mr Pawan Sureka, Chairman, Indian Foundry Association (IFA) lauded IIF for successfully organising such a mega event. Mr Sureka was of the opinion that China may produce more castings than India, in terms of volume, but the quality of Indian castings is appreciated all over the world. Certificates were handed over to the successful candidates of Grad IIF and Diploma Examination in foundry

Brand Building Task Force Chairman: Mr Sanjay Shroff The Visioning team, under the aegis of the Brand Building Task Force, has drawn up the Vision Statement of IIF that seeks to focus on the potential INNOVATE CONSERVE & PROSPER

inherent in the Institute’s future and encapsulates the value proposition that IIF aspires to become for its stakeholders 10 years down the line. The brief and succinct Vision Statement tries to convey the envisioned future in just a few words with the supporting Action Plan to operationalise the Vision and Mission. All these are on the verge of being crystallized, with the new avatar of IIF. In terms of the Visioning Action Plan, ten years ahead the Institute is set to become the respected Industry Association that represents the Indian Foundry Industry with membership of 10,000+ including large corporate organisations, with presence in both the electronic and print media, to make IIF distinctly visible in the public domain. The Vision theme includes the target of IIF to become the voice of the foundry industry in India to the Government and participate in and influence policymaking. It should also be in a commanding position to change the image of the foundry industry.

Building & Infrastructure Committee Chairman: Mr Ravi Sehgal IIF premises are located at Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Coimbatore, Pune and Howrah. Process is being initiated to find out the current status of IIF real estate in the nine different locations with respect to the following: • Title deed • Mutation certificate from municipality and land revenue department • Position of municipal, electricity, water supply and telephone bill payments • Physical description and state • Maintenance programme/schedule • Repairs programme/schedule

ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2012-13 | 15

• Physical inspection reports • Valuation report from a chartered engineer (valuer) There are plans to obtain insurance cover for each of these premises and to preserve the original title deeds in a fire proof safe or bank locker.

Constitution Committee Chairman: Mr Rajan Vaswani Members: Mr D G Sastry & Late Avinash Ogale The Constitution Committee’s role is to clarify and interpret the IIF Bye Laws and various rules at all levels. During the year, there were several occasions when the Committee gave clarifications on different issues that came before it. The concept of co-inciding the term of the office bearers with the IIF Financial Year was analyzed in depth and subsequently dropped as not being practicable due to various constraints. The Rev 1 version of the IFC Manual, with all updates, was released during the year. Various Past Presidents and IFC Chairmen contributed to the updating and revisions that will be adopted from the 62nd IFC onwards. The following are the ‘work in progress’ which are expected to be completed and adopted in the National Council soon: Code of Conduct The Committee has taken up the task of defining a Code of Conduct for its members and other elected, nominated or co-opted persons in various positions similar to that followed by other large Industry Associations and Chambers of Commerce. Without exception, all these professional and industry bodies do not permit members to correspond through open or mass mail with other members. Such a practice leads to uninvolved members getting unnecessary emails that flood their inbox and cause disturbance and

16 | ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2012-13

waste of time of busy professionals who participate in IIF to advance the clearly defined objectives of IIF. Canvassing among members for any office in IIF at Chapter, Region or National level is also a matter of concern and has to be stopped before it leads to wrong and undesirable practices. “Draft” Code of Conduct has been circulated to Past Presidents and will be placed shortly in the National Council for adoption. IIF Vice President Selection Process Past Presidents in a Past Presidents Council meeting agreed that the selection process of the Vice President needs a re-look as the current process, done by the Steering Committee has served its purpose but will not be an effective tool in the future years (2014-15 onwards) due to the growth of IIF. While the current practice of selecting the Vice President (President Elect) from the Regions by rotation will continue, the actual selection process will be improved and enhanced so that the ‘best available candidate’ is eventually selected, without canvassing or politicking, thereby ensuring that the President Elect commands the respect of the IIF National Council and the IIF membership by a large majority. References were drawn from the selection process adopted in other professional industry bodies and it was agreed in the Past President’s Council that a ‘Collegium of Past Presidents’ will be formed that will be tasked with the identification and final selection of the President Elect. The Constitution Committee has drafted the guidelines, selection criteria, detailed resume template, which has been circulated to the past presidents for comments. These will be placed in the National Council as the next step. Amendments to the Bye Laws and Rules Various decisions of the National Council taken from time to time are being accumulated so that they can be taken up all together to amend the bye-laws during an EGM. INNOVATE CONSERVE & PROSPER

Revision of Rules do not require an EGM as they are for internal operational processes and will be implemented by the National Council passing and adopting them.

• Foundry crossword • CET Column • Library Page

Advertisements IFJ plays a significant role in publicising products and services of the foundry sector and its associate sectors by releasing a number of advertisements in every issue which results in earning of revenue. All the issues of the Journal carried a number of advertisements. Revenue earned from advertisements and subscription during this period is higher compared to the last financial year.

Energy and Environment Committee Chairman: Mr G S Agarwala The twin mandate of this Committee is energy saving and pollution control in foundries, which go handin-hand. Foundry being an energy intensive industry, electricity is 25 per cent to 30 per cent of the total cost. Energy audits conducted revealed energy saving potential of 5 per cent to 20 per cent. Redesigned and updated air-capture and bag house systems were put in place in foundries. Re-use of waste heat was encouraged. In many foundries, conventional cupola was replaced by divided blast cupola and coke-fired cupolas by gas-fired ones. Melting and pouring systems were upgraded to save on power consumption. The Committee interacted with pollution control boards, state electricity regulatory commissions, government, NGOs and other institutions on the energy conservation front and environmental issues.

ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2012-13 | 17

The Committee tried to gear up foundries to take up the challenge of making the manufacture of castings a sustainable business with production processes of gradually lower carbon foot print. To reduce the need for virgin resources that are non-renewable, sand recycling programmes in foundries were encouraged to improve environmental performance.

that will be expanded to other major expenditure areas of IIF.

Finance Committee

For timely and accurate completion of IFC Statutory Audit and for inclusion in Annual Accounts of IIF, from 2013-14 financial year onwards, the audit will be conducted at IIF HO, based on all original documents provided by the IFC Organising Committee. Maintaining the final accounts will ensure correct and timely compliance with regulatory requirements of TDS, service tax, etc. Accordingly, the IIF Finance Committee issued a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to standardize the process and systems for all future IFCs. These are to be followed in addition to the guidelines of the IFC Manual Rev 1.

Chairman: Mr D G Sastry Members: Mr Rajan Vaswani and Mr V Mahadevan The role of the Finance Committee is to provide a framework of financial guidelines for the management of IIF Finances and oversee them to keep IIF financially healthy and secure. The main aim is to rationalize various expenses at different Centres to cut costs and reduce deficit. This Committee also approves capital purchases and fixed assets.

Indian Foundry Congress (IFC) The President has authorised and approved that considering the financial size of the IFC project, which is nearly Rs 2 crore, for transparency, an Internal Audit should be mandatorily done each year.

New Auditors

The manual of the existing Financial Guidelines with all revisions was released during the year. This includes templates for preparing the budget by HO, Regions, Chapters and Centres of Excellence to enable HO to prepare an over-all budget for IIF.

The Finance Committee has recommended that in view of the size and complexity of IIF accounts, a change of auditors is required and they be appointed at the forthcoming AGM. It is also desirable that all Chapter, Region and Centers of Excellence accounts be centrally audited in Kolkata instead of multiple auditors all over the country. This will permit timely finalization of the annual accounts each year instead of a few Chapters causing delay by non-submission or delayed submission of their audited accounts, besides saving costs.

Accounting System

Investment of Funds

The Finance Committee recommended to HO to establish a System of Accounting at Regions, Chapters and HO using appropriate software for HO to have on-line information of accounts at Regions, Chapters and Centres of Excellence. Head Office has also introduced System and Process Audit in HO

In the previous year, IIF has withdrawn the investment in equity mutual funds and parked it in other institutions/Banks. An investment advisor has been appointed to recommend investments in safe instruments like Government Bonds, Debt MF for the long-term corpus funds of IIF.

With the above objective, the Committee prepared a Work Plan for Financial Guidelines that was approved by the National Council meeting held on November 25, 2013 at Chennai. Budgets

Long Term Bid for IFEX Organiser For the overall growth and benefit of IIF, an IFEX Bid Committee was instituted to select an IFEX Organiser for a 4 year term from 2014 to 2017. Closed sealed bids were invited and evaluated and comparison statement was provided to the members of the Bid Committee by the Executive Director. The Committee unanimously decided to award the organizing of IFEX to Koelnmesse YA Tradefair from 2014 to 2017 as their bid provided higher revenues to IIF compared to other bidders. Tasks yet to be implemented A. Accounting system and single Bank Account for HO, Regions, Chapters and Centres of Excellence. B. The Committee is yet to study the expenditure at HO, Regions, Chapters and Centres of Excellence and find out ways to cut down expenses without sacrificing the objectives of the programmes and projects and how to provide more funds where needed for the benefit of members.

HO Administration Committee Chairman: Mr Anil Vaswani ERP System The HO Administration Committee implemented customised ERP project titled Fusion which went live at IIF-HO. Fusion modules seek to integrate different facets of HO operation like membership, IFJ, publication, accounts, finance, etc. The system interlinked different departments at HO so as to facilitate greater coordination and integration among and across all functions and functionaries. The inter-connectivity also instantly provides real time information and updates from data fed into the system. With respect to Regions and Chapters, Project Fusion was launched in the Eastern Region and Kolkata Chapter office, housed in IIF Centre at HO.

INNOVATE CONSERVE & PROSPER

This ERP System will cascade to other Regions, Chapters and Centres of Excellence and all users will receive training by the year end. Commercial use of IIF-HO premises IIF-HO will be converted into a modern open office. This would set free a lot of space. Renovation over a period of time will be funded by rental income by letting out the space released. The project would be cost-neutral to IIF. Based on initial discussions, invitation for bids from architects will be invited and specific proposal will be drawn up for consideration of the management. The National Council has already given an in-principle approval to the Project.

International Affairs & WFO Liaison Chairman: Mr Vinod Kapur International Foundry Forum, Prague, September 20-23, 2012 The International Foundry Forum was inaugurated in the Grand Ballroom of Hilton Hotel, Prague. Mr Tom Wesley, Past President, European Foundry Association (CAEF) was the chief guest. While covering the situation of different countries, he advised caution in expansion plans and stated that foundries in USA were showing some improvement in high tech areas, while Europe was almost stagnant, except Germany where there was marginal improvement. China was moving very cautiously, while India was showing some positive growth, he remarked.

Bilbao, Spain, from May 19 to 21, 2014, eight Indian experts have filed the abstract of their papers on different aspects of Advanced Sustainable Foundry, the theme of the 71st World Foundry Congress. The Committee took active role in the promotion of the call for papers among Indian foundrymen. American Foundry Society (AFS) The 117th Metal Casting Congress and Castexpo 2013 organised by American Foundry Society was held from April 6 to 9, 2013 at the America Convention Center, St Louis, Missouri. There were 387 exhibitors. In a section on Cast in North America around 60 foundries exhibited their castings. The exhibition mainly housed table type display of catalogues and a few demonstrations of machines. More exhibitors were seen in the non ferrous side, apart from demonstration of casting fettling machines and facilities. There was a large participation of about 100 foundrymen from India, which included around 20 from Belgaum cluster and 18 from Coimbatore cluster, who had gone under the leadership of UNIDO consultant Mr B S Govind and Mr Viswanathan, President, COINDIA from Coimbatore.

Library Committee Chairman: Dr B K Basak The FAA Jasdanwalla Library at IIF-HO contains a rich collection of books, periodicals and non-book material on foundry and metal casting as well as other allied areas. Resources include publications from American Foundry Society (AFS Transactions and others), American Society of Metals (ASM), Transactions of IFC, AFC & WFC, Indian Standards (BIS), BCIRA Broadsheets, IIF technical sheets (NCTS), Indian Foundry Directory, proceedings of seminars of IIF Regions & Chapters, publications by CET and other IIF publications apart from books on metals, metallurgy, materials, casting, foundry, corrosion,

INNOVATE CONSERVE & PROSPER

sand etc and more than 50 national and international journals and CDs on foundry and related areas. Library Service The library services at present include: • Maintaining a unique collection of books on foundry and related subjects • Hosting an expanding collection of national and international journals on foundry (including bound volumes of back issues) • Replying to users’ queries • Providing reprographic facility to users • Providing facility for viewing soft copy of technical articles, technical CDs, scanned copies of old IFJs etc. Digitization of Resources To initiate the digital library service in a phased manner for preservation, better storage and space management as well as to reach out to a wider section of the foundry community, the Committee has already digitized various sections published in the monthly Indian Foundry Journal into electronic format, initially of a period of 10 years i.e. 2001-2010. It is envisaged that the process would continue for earlier years to make the resources accessible to members. Uploading of digitized version of IFJ in IIF Website The digitized resources apart from being made available to library users through the viewing terminal will be uploaded on the IIF website to make it available to all members across the length and breadth of the country.

numbers reflect the strength of the Institute as the voice of the foundry industry in government circles, public domain and other spheres. Discovery of the requirement of these foundries, still outside the IIF movement, from a pan-India Industry Association like the Institute would be the key to the success of membership development. This would also help to make good the gap in membership services provided at present. Consumers of castings and even customers of castings should be attracted to become members in larger numbers. They would be able to provide insights into and real-time information regarding the expectation of the market from foundries that have to be customer-centric in order to survive in today’s fiercely competitive scenario. The Committee suggests that the Institute identify those locations with concentration of foundries but without IIF Chapters, like Jamnagar etc, to open new Chapters. It is also suggested that Regional Council meetings and seminars be held in Batala, Bhopal and Mangalore to revive weak Chapters in these places.

Policy Advocacy Committee Chairman: Mr Harsh K Jha, President IIF Co-chairman: Mr V P Saha

Chairperson: Ms Reena Bhagwati, Vice President IIF

The Institute with its rising visibility, as the point of reference for the Indian Foundry Industry, is being increasingly recognised by the government and policy makers, as the voice of the foundry fraternity. Policy makers are seeking inputs from the Institute on matters concerning the casting sector. The Committee spearheaded interaction with the government, advocating policies that will take the foundry sector forward.

It is felt that the Institute should identify those foundries which are not members of IIF. The challenge is to bring these foundries into the membership fold because

During the year, the Institute worked very closely with the government on a number of key strategic issues and partnered with state agencies very effectively to take

The 45th Annual General Meeting of the Eastern Region was held on June 30, 2012. National Foundry Day was celebrated on August 16, 2012 at Rotary Sadan, Kolkata, jointly with Kolkata and Howrah Chapters. Mr Harsh Kr Jha, the then Vice-President and current President of IIF and Managing Director Tata Metaliks graced the occasion as Chief Guest. In his address, Mr Jha pointed out that making casting production a sustainable proposition is the challenge before foundrymen, which included producing it in an energy-efficient manner, with progressively lower carbon footprint. Green Foundry is the order of the day, he said. Casting buyers from Europe and US insist on green technology as a criterion at foundries from where they source their value-added castings. Regulatory authorities too, clamp down heavily on environmentally non-compliant foundries. IIF members completing 25 years of membership were honoured with mementos. A cultural programme and a quiz contest was organised on the occasion.

Chapter as well as Eastern Region more vibrant. Mr Shamsul Haque, Past Chairman, IIF Eastern Region introduced the keynote speaker, eminent metallurgist Prof Hem Shankar Ray. Problem Solving and Creativity was the topic of his oration. Prof Ray in his keynote address started with the premise that human beings have to frequently face problems in life and creativity helps solve problems. But, creativity, according to him, is not a genetic trait. A person can develop or acquire creativity by practice, he said. Prof Ray laid more importance on the emotion quotient (EQ) rather than on the intelligent quotient (IQ). This proposition, he said, holds good both for the individual and for industries. Mr A K Ray, Hon Treasurer IIF also paid rich tributes to Late Amal Banerjee.

Four young second and third generation entrepreneurs of the foundry industry were felicitated.

Silver medals sponsored by Mr Avinash Ogale, Past President IIF and Mr Samiran Banerjee, Proprietor of Banerjee Caterers were awarded to Mr Udit Agarwal of Jadavpur University and Mr Sudipta Pramanik of BESU, this year’s toppers in the metallurgical engineering examination.

Auditor’s Report to the Members 1. We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Institute of Indian Foundrymen and its Regions, Chapters, Centers of Excellences, 58th IFC (Residual Account), 60th IFC (Residual Account), 61st IFC and the opening balances of the Assets & Liabilities as at 01.04.2010 of R&D Hyderabad Centre which comprise the consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31st 2013 and the consolidated Statement of Income & Expenditure for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. 2. Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management of the company is responsible for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance of the Institute in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in India; this includes the design implementation and maintenance of internal controlled relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been

76 | ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2012-13

prepared by the Institute's Management in accordance with the Management's decision. As per the Management's decision the Financial Statements of Head Office, its four Regions, FIC, NCTS, 58th IFC (Residual Account), 60th IFC (Residual Account), 61st IFC and the opening balances of the Assets & Liabilities as at 01.04.2010 of R&D - Hyderabad Centre have been consolidated on a line by line basis by adding together like items of Assets, Liabilities and Income & Expenditures. 3. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issue by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due

INNOVATE CONSERVE & PROSPER

to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Institute's preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 4. Basis for Qualified Opinion As explained at Note no B (b) of Schedule-C the opening balances of Assets and Liabilities of R&D Centre, Hyderabad as on 01.04.2010 have been incorporated in the consolidated Balance Sheet because the accounts from the centre as at 31.03.2013 have not been received by Head Office. It has been reported that the said centre has closed its activities w.e.f. 01.04.2010. From the documents available at Head Office it has been observed that action is pending for closing the books of accounts of the Centre. It has also been reported that no transactions took place after 31.03.2010. The Assets and Liabilities of that Centre as per Audited Statement of Accounts as at 31.03.2010 were as follows: Reserve & Surplus

Rs 1,41,327

Current Liabilities & Provision

Rs 15,605

Fixed Assets (at w.d.v.)

Rs 1,32,920

Current Assets Loans & Advances

Rs 24,012

Under the accounting principles generally accepted in India, the above items of Assets & Liabilities should have appeared in the consolidated Balance Sheet at their book values as at 31.03.2013. No books of accounts and/or other documentary evidences were produced before us for our verification of those INNOVATE CONSERVE & PROSPER

balances. In the absence of any certificate we could not satisfy ourselves as regards the physical existence of the fixed assets at the Centre. Consequently we are unable to determine whether any adjustments to those reported balances are necessary. 5. Qualified Opinion In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations giving to us, except for the possible effects for the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion paragraph, the financial statements give the information required by the act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India: (a) In the case of the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Institute as at 31.03.2013, (b) In the case of Consolidated Statement of Income & Expenditure, of the surplus for the year ended on that date. 6. Other Matter a) We did not audit the consolidated financial statements of Southern Region and its Chapters, Western Region and its Chapters, Northern Region and its Chapters, FIC, NCTS, 58th IFC (Residual Account), 60th IFC (Residual Account), whose financial statements reflect total Assets (Nett) of Rs 11,81,31,847 as at 31.03.2013, total Surplus (Nett) of Rs 8,22,406 for the year ended 31.03.2013 is considered in the consolidated financial statements. In respect of consolidated financial statement of Eastern Region and its Chapters we did not audit the Financial Accounts of Jamshedpur Chapter (Nett Assets Rs 8,51,955.29 and Surplus Rs 4,46,663.17), & Ranchi Chapter (Nett Assets Rs 5,43,382.00 and Surplus Rs 2,12,885.00). All those financial statements have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management and our opinion in so far as it relates to the amounts included in respect of those Regions, Chapters Centers and IFCs is based

Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, in making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Institute's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the financial statements give the information required by the relevant Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India: a) In the case of Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Institute's Head Office as at March 31, 2013. b) In the case of the Statement of Income and Expenditure
