During the year under review demand in the domestic steel market was strong, with double-digit growth in the automobiles, capital goods and consumer durable segments. Domestic steel prices moved in tandem with the international prices showing a downward trend as compared to the previous year.

Business Outlook:

The International Iron and Steel Institute (IISI) forecasts that the total use of finished steel products continues to show strong growth in all regions of the World. While the main focus of the growth will be in China, total world steel demand is predicted to grow by 7.3% to 1,087 million metric tones in 2006. Data for 2005 highlights the influence of inventory reduction by steel industry customers, which will turn positive in 2006 as steel companies replenish stocks. However, with a predicted growth of 5.8% to 1,150 million metric tones in 2007, the global outlook for steel demand remains positive. The largest factor in this growth is the influence of China. Even with aslowing of Chinese steel demand, double-digit growth in China is still predicted in 2006 and 2007. This continued growth demonstrates the essential role that steel plays in the functioning of modern society.
