Ferro Alloys Corporation

The Ferro Alloys Corporation Limited (FACOR) was floated in 1955 by the house of Sarafs and Mors to become the first major producer of ferromanganese in India. History The year 1956, marked the beginning of the Ferro Alloys Corporation Limited at Sriramnagar, Garividi, Vizianagaram district, Andhra Pradesh. The founder was Seth Shriman Durgaprasadji Saraf (1911–1988). The registered office is at Tumsar, Bhandara district, Maharashtra. Ferroalloys are used as deoxidizers and alloy additives in the steel manufacturing process. The ferromanganese plant started production in 1957, equipped with three furnaces for production of high carbon ferromanganese and ferrosilicon. In 1969, a reduction furnace and a slag furnace were commissioned for the production of ferrochrome. The company independently, set up a 16 MVA furnace in 1981. FACOR acquired a small steel plant at Nagpur in Maharashtra. In 1979, FACOR developed the technology to produce charge chrome in their own R&D wing. They have established a charge chrome plant at D.P.Nagar, Randia in Bhadrak district of Odisha in 1983. It is a 100% Export Oriented Project with a production capacity of 50,000 tons per annum. FACOR signed an agreement with Marc Rich and Co. AG Switzerland, as the sole selling agent of their entire charge chrome output for 10 years. The plants at Sriramnagar have facilities for raw material handling, metal, and slag casting, crushing, sizing and other ancillaries apart from furnaces for the smelting of ferroalloys. The raw materials are manganese ore, chromite and quartzite ores with principal elements of manganese, chromium and silicon respectively. They are obtained from the Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar states. The Ferro Alloys produced are High Carbon Ferro Chrome, Low Carbon Ferro Chrome, Silicochrome, Silicomanganese, and Magnesium Ferrosilicon, Ferromanganese etc., These alloys are tapped from electric arc furnaces in the molten state. They are prepared to the required size from 25 mm to 150 mm and transported to the various steel companies. The furnaces are connected to Two-stage venturi scrubber systems to maintain a clean environment in and around the production area. FACOR has been accredited under ISO 9001:2000. The existing manpower at Sriramnagar is about 784 regular employees with 107 supervisory personnel, besides 1070 contract workmen. In 2003, the charge chrome division along with the mining division in Odisha has been demerged as FACOR STEELS Ltd and the Ferro Alloys division at Garividi as FACOR ALLOYS Ltd. One of FACOR's group company FACOR Power had defaulted in their payment to Rural Eletricifcation Corporation (REC) and as a result of which REC had initiated CIRP proceedings against FACOR. FACOR had reportedly provided a Corporate Guarantee on behalf of FACOR Power. Through the NCLT Route, FACOR was acquired by the Vedanta Group in 2020. As of date, Ferro Alloys Corporation Limited (FACOR) is a part of the Vedanta Group. References

Fortis Healthcare Limited is an Indian for-profit private hospital network headquartered in Gurgaon. The Fortis Memorial Research Institute (FMRI) in Gurgaon serves as the headquarters for Fortis Healthcare. In addition to its Gurgaon facility, Fortis Healthcare operates hospitals in the Delhi NCR, including locations in Faridabad, Noida, Vasant Kunj, and Shalimar Bagh, along with other facilities across India, Dubai, and Sri Lanka. The company currently manages 36 healthcare facilities. History Fortis Healthcare was founded in 1996 as an offshoot of the pharmaceutical company Ranbaxy Laboratories. It began operating in Mohali, Punjab, where its first hospital was established. It later expanded by acquiring the healthcare division of Escorts Group, including the Escorts Heart and Research Center, Okhla, Delhi. In February 2018, founders Malvinder Singh and Shivinder Singh resigned from the board of Fortis Healthcare following allegations that they had siphoned $78 million out of the company. A month earlier, the Delhi High Court had upheld a 2016 Singapore arbitration tribunal order against the Singh brothers to pay ₹3,500 crore ($550 million) in damages to Daiichi Sankyo for misrepresenting information during the sale of Ranbaxy Laboratories. In March 2018, Manipal Hospitals and TPG Capital offered to buy out Singh brothers' stake in Fortis Healthcare for ₹3,900 crore. After a bidding war, Malaysia's IHH Healthcare completed the acquisition of a 31.1% controlling stake for ₹4,000 crore. Representatives from IHH Healthcare were appointed to the board of Fortis. Later that year, IHH Healthcare halted its tender offer to buy an additional 26% stake from public shareholders after the Supreme Court ordered a status quo in response to Daiichi Sankyo's contempt plea against the Singh brothers over the stake sale. In 2019, Fortis Healthcare announced the acquisition of RHT Health Trust (RHT) assets for an enterprise value of ₹4,650 crore. In August 2023, Fortis announced the completion of its acquisition of Medeor Hospital in Manesar from VPS Healthcare for $27.23 million. In 2024, Fortis Healthcare announced that it would acquire a 31% stake held by private equity firms in its diagnostics subsidiary, Agilus Diagnostics, for ₹1,780 crore.
