Mechanized stainless steel filter screens to counter water contamination by plastic in Vizag
The Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) is planning to install stainless
steel filter screens in the city's open drains in order to prevent floating plastic waste from
entering the sea. Drains clogged with plastic waste are a major source of pollution in the sea
water. As per estimates, Vizag produces nearly 100 tonnes of plastic waste every day. The stainless
steel rotary-type trash filters automatically filter and collect waste in the drains. They are highly
efficient than the conventional screens that require manual clearing and sorting of waste. These
stainless steel filters are expected to be installed in Gnanapuram, Gajuwaka, Malkapuram, and Naval
Officers' recreational club, among other places.

Nickel extends gains amid Indonesia supply disruption
ickel prices rose further on the London Metal
NExchange as mining disruptions in key producer
Indonesia sparked supply concerns about the
stainless steel ingredient. Widespread flooding in Indonesia's
nickel hub, the island of Sulawesi, has halted some mining
operations in Indonesia, an official with the country's Nickel
Miners Association said. Three-month nickel on the London
Metal Exchange rose 0.7% to $11,950 a tonne by 0215 GMT,
extending gain from the previous session when it hit a two-
week high. Around 15 to 20 miners producing 50,000-
100,000 tonnes of nickel ore a month were affected.

1. Take us back to the beginning of your journey.
My family's roots are from a small village in Rajasthan
called Sanderao, however we had migrated to Mumbai
in the late 70's. Back then my father had lost a bangle-
making factory in Firozabad, UP and had started
dealing in scrap in Barshi in the Solapur district of
Maharashtra. As a child, I dreamt of being a cricketer.
Sunil Gavaskar has been my favourite ever since.
However, destiny had other plans for me. I completed
my graduation in Commerce from Mumbai University
in 1991. With my father's persistence and the hard work
put in by my brothers, what started as a mere scrap
dealing business went on to take the shape of Mehta
Trading Corporation (MTC) in 1974. After my
graduation, it was time for me to take up the baton
from my father and join the family business with my
brothers. I took on the challenge and moved to
Bangalore for a couple of years to set up our office.
Later on, we diversified our product line which was
originally limited to trading cast iron and mild steel
scrap. As of today, MTC Group is a four-decade old
business group with domestic and international
business operations in scrap, ferro-alloys, and base
metals, along with automobiles dealerships and more.
The group also plays an important role in providing raw
materials to the metal recycling industry in India and
the world.
2. What are the noteworthy milestones of your
business?
Our journey of the past four decades has been full of
challenges. But, today I can proudly say that we have
grown manifold and are currently a USD 1.3 billion
turnover group company. In the last 15 years, we have
diversified into various product lines, from being a
basic scrap recycling company to trading and
commencing manufacturing activities for base
metals, minor metals, noble alloys, etc. as well. We
have also successfully installed forward and backward
integration in our processes with steel plants
producing TMT bars and setting up of a power plant,
respectively. Also, we have recently added another
product line of Copper tubes with a manufacturing

attitude, an approach to adapt
with changing times, and a sense
of responsibility in order to excel
in a fast-paced dynamic working
environment. Being tech-savvy is
essential to make the best of this

Jindal Stainless unveils India's first stainless steel E-rickshaw prototype
s part of its new business development initiative towards sustainable transportation, Jindal Stainless,
Aalong with local manufacturers in Haryana, successfully developed the first stainless steel E-rickshaw
prototype in India. The E-rickshaw design was lauded at EvExpo 2019 organised in Lucknow from June
6-8, 2019. Various stainless steel grades have been suggested by the company for E-rickshaw body parts; Grade
304 for chassis and roof, Grade JT and 430 for side panels, and Grade 304 chequered for flooring. Each of these
E-rickshaws uses around 80-100 kg of stainless steel, and can be developed in just one day.
Jindal stainless assisted the development of these E-rickshaws by providing the technical know-how, welding
and tube bending techniques for stainless steel, and expert advice on grade selection and raw material sourcing
to Haryana based manufacturers- JIJO Electrics and Thukral Electric Bikes. An order of 100 stainless steel
E-rickshaws is now in pipeline with these two manufacturers.
The originally used mild steel E-rickshaws are heavy, have a life cycle of around 3 years, and often face chassis
breakage. However, the stainless steel models demonstrate a superior body and chassis performance, and an
extended life cycle of around 5 years, along with reducing the overall weight by 15-20%. The reduced weight also
enhances the battery life, and in turn the efficiency of E-rickshaws. Moreover, the scrap value for stainless steel is
around Rs 100/kg, while it is Rs 20/kg for mild steel. This promises additional returns after the end-of-life of
stainless steel e-rickshaws.
it is estimated that around 6 lakh E-rickshaws are produced annually in India (including an import of around 2
lakh E-rickshaws). As an accessible, economical, and the last mile connectivity vehicle, E-rickshaw serves as the
optimum bread earner for a majority of Indian population in both urban and rural areas. Going forward, Jindal
Stainless plans to tie-up with pan-India E-rickshaw manufacturers.

Insights
indal Stainless (Hisar) Limited (JSHL) boasts of
Jthe largest specialty stainless steel division in
India. Specialty Products Division (SPD) is a
specialized state-of-the-art facility, established with
a view to expand the company's product portfolio
and services in precision strip, blade steel, and mint
segments in the domestic as well as export markets.
In line with JSHL's vision to consistently improve by
innovating, the SPD took on some in-house activity
enhancements that led to the highest ever rolling
production of 78,689 MT in FY 18-19, along with the
highest dispatch, reported at 30,964 MT.
The SPD team took on series of steps to make it all
possible. First, the team set up an offline rewinding
line between the Sherman mills 1 and 2, two of the ten
mills installed in the SPD. Pressure pads were
installed between payoff reels of these two adjacent
mills that helped utilize this set up for an offline
rewinding, in turn avoiding time loss due to
rewinding pass at mills. This 100% in-house project
upped the productivity of the mill by ~18%.
Second, the team introduced a system for the filter
cleaning standard operating practises (SOPs) in a
structured way to avoid downtimes due to poor quality
of the product. The frequency of cleaning filters at two
of the mills has been optimized, which is now part of
the division's guidelines. Moreover, extra bucket filters
at five of the division's mills were installed to set up an
efficient cooling system. These filters helped in
checking any possible contamination in oil running in
the return line of the cooling system. Additionally, extra
headers were also provided at mills to increase coolant
flow. This also helped reduce the frequency of roll
changing, thus increasing the division's productivity.
Third, the team worked to reduce the work roll
changeover time by means of a roll changing trolley. It
helped to reduce the coil set-up time by nearly 22% at
RM 1 and 33% at RM 2 mills of the division.
It is noteworthy that these in-house advancements
incurred minimal or zero costs, and have increased the
SPD's productivity by over 11%.
