The
ferro-chem division
Established in 1980, the ferro-chem division of
Essel is located at Vapi in Gujarat, a major industrial
hub. It is the largest producer of high quality
noble ferro alloys in India. Its products include
ferro-molybdenum, ferro-vanadium and ferro-titanium.
It commands over 50 per cent of the market share
in India. The division also produces ferro-alloy
powders, unfused V2O5 and moly-oxide briquette.
The division has developed ferro titanium (35 –
40 per cent grade) through internal R&D initiative.
Noble ferro alloys are used in the manufacture of
alloy steels, high-speed steels and other special
grade steels, infusing the anti-abrasive and anti-corrosive
properties to steel. Additionally, these products
find application in the manufacture of castings,
electrodes and act as a catalyst in the fertiliser
industry.
A constant endeavour of Essel's ferro-chem division
is to develop high value products for its customers
with a sharp focus on R&D, strong distribution
network, and customer service backed by a dedicated

Wind
power division
Essel Mining made a foray into the wind power
sector by installing windmills at Dhule in Maharashtra
of 15 mw which expanded to 75 mw in FY06. This
strategic initiative will reinforce Essel’s
image as an ‘environmentally conscious corporate
citizen’. Entire power generated from these
windmills is supplied to the Maharashtra State
Electricity Board (MSEB).
The
wind power division has been registered with UNFCCC
as a ‘Clean Development Mechanism’ (CDM)
project under the Kyoto Protocol, which entitles
the project to get carbon credit revenues for a
period of 10 years.
Wind power is cost competitive with conventional
sources of electricity, such as oil or gas and unlike
traditional polluting sources of energy, wind has
no fuel cost. It therefore serves as a natural hedge
against volatile fuel prices, while helping to protect
the environment.
