Shri Durgaprasad ji Saraf the Promoter, took the ...initiative and pioneered in manganese ore mining and commissioned 3 submerged electric arc furnaces of 7.5MVA each in Garividi, Vizianagaram District, 85 KM north of Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh.

In April 2011, the Company acquired BEC Power Pvt. Ltd. A change in the top management was affected during the year, with the new leadership assuming charge from 9th April 2024. Since then, the management has been actively evaluating all possible avenues for revival, including strategic collaborations, financial restructuring, and alternative business models. During the financial year ended 31st March 2025, the Company's manufacturing operations remained fully suspended, following the shutdown of its plant effective from 31st October 2023. As a result, there was no production activity during the year 2024-25. While the broader domestic steel sector experienced demand growth, the operating environment remained challenging, particularly for standalone and mid-sized producers, due to elevated input costs, pricing pressure arising from increased imports, and limited access to working capital. These external challenges, coupled with the Company's financial and operational constraints, rendered the resumption of production unviable during the financial year. Company has initiated the monetisation of its assets, pursuant to the approval obtained from shareholders on 10th July 2025.
