Anupam and Mitsubishi form JV to invest Rs 280 crore in 2 units at Tarapur and Mundra, in Gujarat

JV to manufacture Port Cranes and Material Handling Equipment for Domestic and Global Markets

Mumbai, 10 November, 2011:The Rs. 300 crore Indian crane manufacturing major, Anupam Industries Ltd. and Japanese conglomerate Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd (MHI) have joined hands to form a new joint venture company, ANUPAM-MHI Industries Ltd. This JV will manufacture Port Cranes and Material Handling Equipment for domestic and global markets. It is aimed at aggressively exploring India’s fast-growing market, with the global markets in sight.

Elaborating on the plans for this new JV, Mr. Mehul Patel, Managing Director of Anupam Industries Ltd. and CEO of new JV Company, said, “The two JV partners will invest equity capital of Rs. 188 crores in ANUPAM-MHI Industries, with Anupam holding 51% and MHI owning 49%. The head office will be located at Anand in the state of Gujarat and two manufacturing units will be set up at Anand and Mundra in the state.”

Mr. Kanji Obata, Chairman of new JV said, “Port crane and equipment market is expected to grow significantly in India, Middle East, Asian Countries and Latin America. Going forward, leveraging MHI brand, reputation and global customer base with JV’s cost competitive production base and aggressive marketing the JV expects a reasonable market share and position, globally.”

The first phase of Capex for the JV has been finalised with a capital expenditure of Rs. 280 crores. To facilitate fabrication and manufacture of these gigantic products, an inland manufacturing facility spread over 300,000 square metres of land area at Tarapur near Anand, Gujarat is in progress.

Port cranes (ship-to-shore, rail mounted gantry, rubber tyred gantry) require a seafront facility for final assembly and roll off of products into barges. Towards this purpose, Anupam-MHI has arranged for 120,000 square metres of land at Mundra Port and Special Economic Zone (MPSEZ) along with a load out jetty for roll-on / roll-off for the completely erected and commissioned equipment on to the barge / vessel for onward dispatch to customers.

When the facilities are in place at Anand and Mundra, Anupam-MHI will have total manpower strength of around 2000 people. This facility would be the first and only of its kind in India and one of the very few in the world. The first phase will have sufficient capacity to generate sales of Rs. 800 crores. Prospects for the next stage of expansion happening seamlessly and soon are very bright in view of the encouraging market potential.

The partnership Company has already bagged its first 2 orders: Rs 100 crores worth order for 3 units of ship-to-shore container handling cranes (RMQC) from JNPT and another significant order of around Rs. 200 crores plus for 6 units of ship unloaders from Krishnapatnam Port. This Private Sector Port has an option to order further 4 nos. of unloaders around Rs. 135 crores.

Earlier, in April 2010, MHI had agreed to license its crane and material handling equipment technology for large-scale ports, including container cranes, to Anupam Industries Limited, India's largest overhead crane builder. Under this license agreement, the company has already executed higher capacity forging & ladle crane orders for L&T and Jindal Steel & Power. This JV will further strengthen the ties between the two partners. By combining MHI’s product development and manufacturing expertise and engineering know-how relating to installation with Anupam’s production bases and local marketing/service network, the two companies are engaged dynamically to develop their market in India and globally.

The new company will handle manufacturing, domestic marketing and after-sales service for port-use loading and unloading equipment, including container cranes and unloaders; bulk material handling equipment and also large ladle cranes. MHI shall look after global marketing and associated services through its vast global network.

The JV is expected to commence operations in the first half of 2012 and will target an annual production of 60 units.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, is one of the world’s leading heavy machinery manufacturers, with consolidated sales of 2,903.7 billion yen in fiscal 2010. MHI’s diverse line-up of products and services encompasses shipbuilding, power plants, chemical plants, environmental equipment, steel structures, industrial and general machinery, aircraft, space rocketry and air-conditioning systems.

First Ever 350T Forging Cranes in India for L&T

Become the first company in India to manufacture 350T Forging Cranes
Anupam Industries limited successfully manufactured and supplied 2 numbers of 350/50T forging cranes to L&T Special Steel & Heavy Forging plant at Hazira, Gujarat. This is the first ever forging crane of 350T capacity manufactured in India. These cranes are manufactured under technical license agreement from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd, (MHI), Japan.

The forging crane was manufactured adhering to specific stringent norms related to critical & continuous forging application of L&T Forgings. Before the delivery of this equipment, functional testing of the entire crane was carried out at 100% safe working load (SWL) and over load testing was done at 125% successfully in the presence of L&T representatives.

The design & manufacturing processes of the crane was subjected to the stringent design practices and quality norms of MHI, Japan. These forging cranes comprise massive fabricated structures, high-end mechanical sub-assemblies, electrical drives (E-room) and PLC programming for smooth functioning and controlling. The crane girders and trolleys are made in single piece (no splice joint). Each girder weighs around 95T-100T. From the safety point of view special testing was carried out in the presence of L&T & third party surveyors at Anupam.

These crane girders were transported through special hydraulic trailers. A special mobile crane of 250T capacity with extra long boom was used for erecting and installing these girders at the L&T site. The mechanical installation was successfully completed within 10 working days with the help of Anupam’s experienced technical erection team. This heavy duty 350T forging crane will be used by L&T for forging heavy duty turbine shaft.

Speaking on the achievement, Mr. Mehul Patel, Managing Director, Anupam Industries Limited said “we believe in customer delight and innovation and we are standing strong today with this achievement due to our vast experience, technical expertise, support of MHI and whole hearted contribution of our employees. We have already created a strong presence in the steel segment by supplying high-end ladle cranes and steel mill duty cranes to various industry leaders. With this achievement we have reinforced ourselves as the specialist crane solution provider to the steel Industry.
