  • 5. Sirhowy Ironworks
    Great Archaeological Sites in Blaenau Gwent 5. SIRHOWY IRONWORKS There were a number of ironworks in the area now covered by Blaenau Gwent County Borough, which provided all the raw materials they needed – iron ore, limestone and fuel, charcoal at first but later coal to make coke. The Sirhowy ironworks (SO14301010) are the only one where there is still something to see. The works were opened in 1778 with one blast furnace. Although it was originally blown by water power, in 1799 the owners invested in a Boulton and Watt steam engine. This gave them enough power to blow a second furnace, which started production in 1802. In the early years of the 19th century, the pig iron produced at Sirhowy was sent to the Tredegar works a little further down the valley where it was refined, until 1818 when the Sirhowy works were sold and started to send its pig iron to Ebbw Vale. A third furnace was added in 1826 and a fourth in 1839. But by the 1870s iron smelting at Sirhowy was no longer profitable, and the works finally closed in 1882. Like all ironworks in South Wales, the furnaces were built against a steep bank which enabled the ironworkers to load the charge of iron ore, limestone and coke or charcoal fuel more easily at the top of the furnace. All that is now left now are the remains of a bank of blast furnaces with the arches that would originally have linked them to the casting houses in front, and the building that originally housed the waterwheel.

The hope is that the rate of growth of manufacturing will accelerate and the share of manufacturing in GDP, which has been stagnant at about 15 per cent for the last three decades, will increase to 25 per cent.

Over last five years, Indian banks have witnessed strong (20% CAGR) loan growth. However, this has increasingly been driven by select few corporate groups; aggregate debt of these ten groups has jumped 5x in the past five years and now equates to 13% of bank loans and 98% of the banking system’s net worth. Therefore, surprisingly now in terms of the concentration risk, Indian banks rank higher than most of their Asian and BRIC counterparts. ■ Group financials stretched. With economic slowdown and largely similar sectoral exposure to sectors (power & metals) and multiple assets of each group stressed, financials of these groups are stretched. Average group debt to EBITDA for this set is 7.6x and already four of 10 have interest cover Previously published Reports (EBIT/P&L interest cost) of <1.

  • 1 REPORT INTRODUCTORY Steel Is Key to the Development of Any
    REPORT INTRODUCTORY Steel is key to the development of any country and is considered to be the mainstay of the human civilization. The level of per capita consumption of steel is treated as economic indicator of a country. All major industrial economies are characterized by the existence of a strong steel industry and the growth of many of these economies has been largely shaped by the strength of their steel industries in this initial stages of development. India has been one of the major producers of steel in the world. Prior to the economic reforms of the early 1990s, the Steel Industry of India was regulated and controlled by the Government Policies. After liberalization the Indian Steel Industry evolved significantly to conform to international standards. The India Steel Industry is expected to play a significant role in India‟s economic development in the years to come. Availability of iron ore in the country and well furnished facilities for steel productions are the major aspects which will play a major role in the growth of the steel industry in India. The domestic steel industry has a tremendous growth potential and likely to register significant growth in the coming years in view of the rising demand of steel in infrastructure and realty sectors. However, one of the major initiatives that need to be taken is to focus on increasing consumption of steel in the rural areas. In order to realize the growth potential in the steel sector, it is imperative that the steel industry remain competitive. The availability of critical inputs such as iron ore and coke is equally important for sustainable growth of the industry.
