CHAPTER-II

Company Profile

The ARS Group, which comprises of ARS Energy and ARS Steel, was incorporated as ARS
Metals Pvt. Ltd., on 19th September 1990. ARS was established not only to help India reach her
goal of becoming a global superpower but also to help South India, specifically, Tamil Nadu,
become one of the most prominent production/manufacturing hubs in the country.

Since its inception, the promoter-directors of the company, Mr. Ashwani Kumar Bhatia, and Mr.
Rajesh Bhatia have galvanized the energy and steel industry, and plan on using their vast
experience in expanding overseas.

One of the biggest players in the steel industry in Tamil Nadu, ARS Steel, an ISO 9001 and
14001 certified steel manufacturer, has one of the largest induction furnace-based Steel mills in
the country. The company is quality focused and does not compromise when it comes to
delivering high-quality and best-in-class TMT bars.

Further, ARS Steel, in 2009, increased its billet production by installing a new furnace, thereby
increasing the total capacity of the furnace to 1,30,000 MTPA. It also increased the capacity of its
rolling mill to 1,80,000 MTPA.

In the future, the company plans on expanding its present steel melting facility even further by
putting up another 25 MT furnace by January 2020. Thus, ramping up billet production capacity
to 2,50,000 MTPA and rolling mill capacity to 2,50,000 MTPA.

Keeping in mind the commitment it has to its country and her people, ARS Energy, established in
August 2013, was started to enlighten lives. Already successfully running a 60 MW Captive
Power Plant, the company plans on setting up a higher-capacity Power Plant, with the aim of
building a nation that is self-sufficient in power generation.

Practical and sustainable development forms the core of ARS’ ethos. Keeping this in mind, ARS
Energy was set up in the year 2011. Following the commencement, ARS successfully erected and
commissioned a 1X60 MW coal-based Group Captive Thermal Power Plant at Gummidipoondi,
Tamil Nadu, on July 2013.

Highlights of ARS Power Plant:

 ARS has installed a 230 KV dedicated transmission line to a TNEB substation 7.5 Km
away from the power plant. .
 ARS Power Plant has a dedicated bay extension in the TNEB sub station, which was
supplied, installed & commissioned by ARS.
 ARS transmission line is involved in Multi-Circuit Towers which is the highest level in
transmission lines, and its line failure will be very rare.
 7.5 Km is the shortest line with a dedicated bay, which further reduces the possibility of
any shut down, helping ARS serve customers efficiently by reducing the outage to nil.
