profit making company. The Company is a leading
manufacturer of Cold Rolling Mills, Galvanising Lines and
associated equipments in India. The Company is also in
field of consultancy, especially for steel industry since
past two decades.
FPL is amongst the leaders in industry segment in India
with sales for 1994-95 exceeding Rs.6,000 lacs. The Company
has its manufacturing unit at MIDC Taloja and Bhandup,
Bombay. The Company enjoys various working capital limits,
asset credit facility and term loan facilities under world
bank refinance scheme from it's bankers, Canara Bank and

Director of the company. At present the company has
collaborations with T. Sendzimir Inc., U.S.A for

FPL is the only Indian Company with capabilities for
designing, fabrication and installation of CR Mills. FPL
competes mainly with international companies like Hitachi
of Japan, SMS of Germany, United of USA and Davy of
England. However, FPL enjoys significant price advantage
over international competitors on account of India's labour
cost advantage which results in the price quoted by foreign
companies being two or three times the FPL price for
comparable technology and performance. With proven
capabilities, having supplied mills in India and outside,
FPL thus has a strong competitive edge.
Due to the fact that Company has access to latest
technology in its fields and a lower cost as compared to
its competitors in West, the Company has export potential
for its product and has export orders on hand.
The Company manufactures and exports metal processing
equipment which is an import substitute.
FPL has installed over 110 rolling mills and associated
lines in India and 10 abroad. The Company is negotiating
for exports to many developed countries like U.S.A.,
Germany, U.K. and other Asian countries. Company and its
affiliates have already exported equipment to Germany,
South Korea, U.S.A., Switzerland, Austria, Kenya and
Singapore. The Company lays tremendous emphasis on after
sales service and a lot of orders are REPETITIVE. The
Company expects repeat orders from its overseas clients in
the future.
Absorption of technology by research and development and
design departments of the Company is demonstrated by the
fact that in the year 1990, Company had exported a mill to
U.S.A., to its collaborator, worth Rs.13.5 million. The
collaborator has expressed interest in purchasing two more
mills from the Company in near future. The Company is also
exporting Cold Rolling Mill and Galvanising Line to
Indonesia, for over Rs.25 Crores which has to be delivered
