    MANAGEMENT COMMENT

    Mr. Udit Rathi, Promoter, Rathi Steel And Power Limited:

    “We have closed the fiscal year on a strong note, with robust performance in the last quarter. Despite market headwinds from macro-economic uncertainties and steel price volatility, we have demonstrated resilience and continued on our growth trajectory.

    Our focus on strategic initiatives to improve product mix and efficiencies have reflected in our performance. Top line for the quarter grew over 63% YoY to Rs. 244.57 crores. EBITDA for the quarter grew about 23% YOY to Rs. 9.93 crores while PAT for the quarter nearly doubled YOY to Rs. 7.49 crores. Growth was driven by healthy demand for our products coupled with ramp up of operations of the TMT bar mill. Energy and other efficiency measures undertaken during the year helped offset pricing pressures, leading to better margins. During the year, green power purchased through open access contributed to more than a quarter of the overall power consumption. Company is committed to increase the share of green power in future.

    The year marks a new phase in our journey as Rathi 2.0, with several key milestones. We continued to invest to upgrade our plant. Post gradual ramp of our TMT bar mill, we have initiated process of implementing Direct Charging Technology for the same, replicating what we did for stainless steel operations. Once implemented, this initiative is expected to further reduce specific fuel consumption and carbon foot print.

    The GreenPro certification granted by CII for the TMT Rebars will help in marketing our TMT bars for the Green Projects of developers and to Government Supplies, where the Green Steel / Greenpro Certified steel are used. We aim to better utilize our existing capacities, leverage our sales network, and expand our brand visibility.

    Our present Average Capacity utilisation levels provide us with significant headroom a to ramp up operations. We are taking proactive steps for the same. Alongside, we are also looking at organic and in-organic growth opportunities.

    We have entered the new financial year on strong footing and are well positioned to capture the opportunities in the growing infrastructure, engineering and construction industry. Our focus remains on delivering sustainable value to all stakeholders. The present geopolitical situation does pose challenges and uncertainties, but we remain optimistic about the resilience of the Indian economy.

  • ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India Leads First Industry-Led PM-SETU ITI Transformation

    ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India Leads First Industry-Led PM-SETU ITI Transformation

    Visakhapatnam ITI Cluster receives National Steering Committee approval, marking the first operational industry partnership under the ₹60,000 crore PM-SETU scheme

    Hazira, Surat (Gujarat) [India], May 30: In a landmark development under the Pradhan Mantri Skilling and Employability Transformation through Upgraded ITIs (PM-SETU) scheme, the National Steering Committee (NSC) has approved the Strategic Investment Plan (SIP) for the Visakhapatnam ITI Cluster in Andhra Pradesh, submitted by ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India) along with their academic partner New Age Makers Institute of Technology (NAMTECH).

    The approval marks the first-ever Strategic Investment Plan to be cleared under PM-SETU and makes Andhra Pradesh the first State to operationalize an industry partnership under the scheme.

    The approval was accorded during the 3rd National Steering Committee Meeting convened by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), Government of India at Kaushal Bhawan, New Delhi. The milestone represents the first concrete step towards implementing PM-SETU’s vision of transforming Government ITIs into industry-managed, outcome-oriented institutions through deep partnerships between State Governments and leading industry players.

    The meeting was chaired by Smt. Debashree Mukherjee, Secretary, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, and attended by Shri Dilip Kumar, Director General, Directorate General of Training (DGT), along with members of the National Steering Committee.

    Senior representatives from the Capacity Building Commission (CBC), National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Ministry of Heavy Industries, Ministry of Labour and Employment, participating State Governments, industry leaders including Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto, ITC Limited and ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel (AM/NS) India, NAMTECH as well as development partners such as the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the World Bank participated in the deliberations.

    Approval of Visakhapatnam ITI Cluster

    A key outcome of the meeting was the approval of the Strategic Investment Plan for the Visakhapatnam ITI Cluster in Andhra Pradesh, submitted by ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India.

    With this approval, Andhra Pradesh becomes the first State under PM-SETU to onboard an Anchor Industry Partner (AIP), marking a major milestone in the operationalization of the industry-led Hub-and-Spoke model envisioned under the scheme.

    The approval of the Visakhapatnam Cluster represents a significant step towards transforming Industrial Training Institutes into industry-managed, outcome-oriented institutions capable of responding to evolving workforce requirements.

    The successful approval of the proposal is expected to serve as a model for other States seeking to strengthen industry participation in vocational education and training and accelerate the implementation of PM-SETU interventions across the country.

    Focus Areas Discussed by the National Steering Committee

    The National Steering Committee reviewed the overall progress of PM-SETU implementation across participating States and deliberated on policy and implementation measures aimed at strengthening industry participation, improving institutional governance, enhancing the financial sustainability of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), and accelerating the operationalization of projects under the scheme.

    The discussions focused on advancing industry-led governance mechanisms, promoting outcome-based skilling, and strengthening partnerships between industry, State Governments and training institutions to ensure that India’s vocational education and training ecosystem remains responsive to emerging sectoral demands and future workforce requirements.

    About PM-SETU

    PM-SETU, a flagship initiative of the Government of India with an outlay of ₹60,000 crore, aims to transform 1,000 Government ITIs through an industry-led Hub-and-Spoke model.

    The scheme seeks to modernise infrastructure, strengthen industry engagement, improve employability outcomes, and establish National Centres of Excellence (NCoEs) in high-growth sectors, building, through stronger government-industry partnerships, a future-ready workforce equipped for advanced manufacturing and emerging technologies.

    Growing Momentum Across States

    With 32 States and Union Territories having constituted their State Steering Committees and 12 States/UTs having floated their Requests for Proposals for inviting industry participation in the selection of Anchor Industry Partners — several of which are approaching closure within the coming weeks — PM-SETU stands at the threshold of a full-fledged, industry-led implementation phase.

    A robust pipeline of State-industry consultations, with multiple rounds concluded and several more scheduled in the weeks ahead, reflects deepening convergence between industry interest and State preparedness.

    Central and State Governments are working in close coordination to ensure that the momentum generated through preparatory milestones translates swiftly into on-ground project execution, with industry partnerships poised to drive ITI transformation at scale across the country.

    In the coming months, further Strategic Investment Plans are expected to receive National Steering Committee approval, paving the way for a transformed vocational education and training ecosystem for Viksit Bharat 2047.

In the role, Dr. Shawn will lead surgical standards, clinical protocols, and surgeon training across all of Mister Hair clinics, with a clear mandate: to deliver hair transplants that meet international benchmarks for quality, safety and natural, lasting results.

    The appointment is a defining step in Mister Hair Clinic’s mission to make world-class hair restoration accessible to patients in India – without the need to travel abroad for it.

Under his leadership, the clinic will standardise its advanced techniques – including DHI and Sapphire FUE – under globally recognised surgical and sterility protocols, applied consistently at every location.

    For Mister Hair, ‘international quality’ is not a slogan but a set of measurable standards: meticulous donor-area planning, refined and undetectable hairline design, high graft-survival rates, hospital-grade sterility on every procedure, and an ethics-first, results-honest approach to every patient. The network already reports 98% graft survival, more than 5,000 grafts placed, and a 4.9-star average patient rating across its 8+ locations – and Dr. Shawn’s appointment is intended to elevate and systematise these standards group-wide.

    “World-class hair restoration shouldn’t require a passport,” said Dr.Rajaram, Founder, Mister Hair Clinic. “Bringing Dr. Shawn on board as our Head of Department means our patients in Bengaluru and across South India can access the same surgical precision, standards, and honesty practised at the finest international clinics — close to home.
