Varun Inds plans to set up Rs 230-cr steel unit in Jodhpur

VARUNIndustries, maker of steel consumer goods, plans to build a 120,000-tonne stainless steel plant at a cost of Rs 230 crore in Jodhpur as part of its backward integration programme. Mumbai-based Varun, which is one of the largest stainless steel utensils maker, also with interests in mining, expects to begin work on the proposed plant after a financial closure scheduled by March. “It’s expected to be operational from 2011,” group advisor Rathnakar Hegde told ET.

The manufacturing plant is aimed at securing the raw material for products that the company makes and also to counter the volatility in prices. Prices of steel have been seeing strong fluctuations, almost doubling before the liquidity crisis took the bottom out. “Too much fluctuation in raw material prices eats into our profitability. At the same time, the quality and supply were a concern,” said Mr Hegde. The company spent Rs 85 crore last year on raw materials.

Under its backward integration plan, Varun Industries will manufacture TMT bars and other steel inputs for the construction industry, besides stainless steel flats. “We want to be a complete steel company and this new plant will help us diversify into other verticals and mitigate risks,” said Mr Hegde. The company’s sales were down 6% at Rs 302.4 crore in the quarter ended September.

Varun Industries plans to borrow Rs 150 crore to meet the expansion plans. The company’s average borrowing cost is 11%. Further, the promoters will infuse about Rs 22 crore through warrants which can be converted into equity shares subsequently, said Mr Hegde. “Rest of the amount will be met by internal accruals and through a QIP or a rights issue,” he added.

Windfall for villagers with upcoming IIT project on Jodhpur-Nagaur highway

JODHPUR: A few kilometres away from the Sun City' of Jodhpur, on Jodhpur-Nagaur highway, the villagers are a happy lot, thanks to the windfall coming their way in the form of upcoming projects.

Acquisition of land for IIT-Rajasthan campus at the designated place in villages on Nagaur road is also in progress. As news about the upcoming IIT campus spread in the area, real estate prices went up.

The price of the land, which was Rs 1.5 lakh to 2.5 lakh per bigha depending upon its location has now shot up between Rs 10 and 20 lakh per bigha in the open market.

The district administration has earmarked 2,230 bigha on the Nagaur road, which includes the villages of Ghadaw, Jhipasni and Karwad. Of this, 502 bigha is government land and the is owned privately, which needs to be acquired by the administration. O P Bishnoi, deputy commissioner (North) of JDA said that private land is under only Ghadaw and Jhipasni villages and most of that has been acquired.

Terming it to be one of the fastest land acquisition process, he said that government is very enthusiastic about this project and has sanctioned the 502 bigha government land to the IIT free of cost. He added that there will be no injustice with the villagers and they will be given best possible compensation for their land. The area is to be developed as an educational corridor with IIT and NIFT coming up here after NLU and Ayurved University.

However, a few locals are not happy as government, in its tender payment has so far set the compensation amount equivalent to the DLC rate of the area, which is from Rs 1.20 to 2 lakh. The final compensation will, however, depend upon the final award report to be submitted by the administration after hearing all objections and claims.

Apart from this acquisition process, there was a massive stir in the land prices in vicinity of these three villages, which are dominated by Rajputs. According to a property dealer, the prices were hardly close to Rs 1.5 to 2.5 lakh per bigha before the IIT was announced here. But when the news spread about the location being suitable for the IIT, the prices escalated between Rs 5 and 10 lakh per bigha. He said that land up to 5 km beyond the IIT site has already been sold and today no land is available there.

The former sarpanch of village Ghadaw, Chatra Singh said, "This is a matter of delight for us. Earlier the villagers were sceptical but the rise in the DLC rates of land and administration's assurance of 30% premium on it or development of the region is what they all are attracted to."

But given the rise in the prices, they are expecting higher returns. On the other hand the villagers have example of National Law University and Rajasthan Ayurved University, which did not bring much development in the region. A social worker in the region, Hanuman Singh said, "We had thought that selection of the road for the Ayurved University will bring much needed development in the region but it did not happen, only land prices rose, which has activated the land mafia here."

He added that all activities will remain within the campus and villagers will not benefit from it. However, those with land in the area which has not come under acquisition drive are happy as they are assured of higher returns.

अब चार लेन का मोहनपुरा ब्रिज

राजेश त्रिवेदी. जोधपुर

जेडीए ने बूढ़े हो चुके मोहनपुरा पुलिया का कायाकल्प करने के लिए 47 करोड़ रुपए की योजना बनाई है। इसके तहत पुलिया को दुबारा बनाने के साथ ही इसे फोर लेन में तब्दील किया जाएगा। योजना का सर्वाधिक उल्लेखनीय पहलू यह है कि ट्रैफिक को सुचारु करने के लिए यहां फ्लाई ओवर बनाए बिना समाधान खोजा गया है। इस पर खर्च होने वाली राशि में से कुछ हिस्सा रेलवे प्रशासन भी देगा।

मोहनपुरा पुलिया को बने लगभग सौ साल बीत चुके हैं। उस वक्त इस पुल से होकर गिनती के लोग ही गुजरते थे। वाहन भी नाम मात्र के ही हुआ करते थे। इस लिहाज से करीब बीस फीट चौड़ी सड़क ही बनाई गई थी।

शहर में बने ओवरब्रिज में से इस पुल की चौड़ाई सबसे कम है। करीब तीन साल पहले इस समस्या के समाधान के लिए ट्रैफिक पुलिस ने आरयूआईडीपी के सुझाव पर नई सड़क चौराहा पर नो राइट टर्न व्यवस्था लागू की थी। यह व्यवस्था मात्र सात माह में ही वापस लेना पड़ गया था।

फोर लेन बनेगा

मोहनपुरा पुलिया की नई ड्राइंग तैयार करने के लिए कंसलटेंट नियुक्त किया है। इस संबंध में रेलवे से भी बातचीत की गई है। इस पुलिया को फोर लेन में तब्दील किया जाएगा। इसके लिए कुछ जमीन अवाप्त भी करनी पड़ेगी। अगर ऐसा होता है तो यातायात दबाव काफी कम हो जाएगा।
