Megatherm was the first to:

• Introduce multi zoned coils

• Introduce OFWF furnace transformer
• Use low frequency design in current fed circuit for reduction of energy
consumption
• Use PLCs in IMFs since 1998

…and introduced many other innovations which was later incorporated by the
industry

More innovations will be incorporated by the industry in future for example

compact energy efficient layout

 Micro Steel Plants

World produces 500 million tons of scrap steel a year

In many countries abundant availability of scrap steel has led to the development of micro
steel plants

Capacities are typically 100,000 tpa to 1,000,000 tpa

47
 Growth Plans
• Long term natural growth of industry approx. 11%

• Increase domestic market in steel sector especially for downstream & upstream
products

• Increase international market share via sales/service offices in countries like

UAE, Africa, etc.

• Increase spares market share via opening of warehouses & maintaining spare
stock for lightning-fast service support to customers

• Create footprint in North America i.e. USA to access large retrofit market

• Expand transformer manufacturing capacity to cater to industrial transformers

apart from induction transformers. Market entry already done.
