Tata  Steel’s  refinancing   late  last  year  has  given  the  company  an  outstanding  low debt  level  of  4.7  billlion  baht,  or  0.5  times.

 

The  furnace  project,  with  a  capacity  of   500,000  tonnes  per  year,  is  aimed  at  reducing  costs  by  instilling  quality  control  for  products  and  preparing  the  company  for  premium  grade  goods.

COMMENT

 

Tata’s  Thailand  operation  sold  1.05  million  tonnes  of  construction  steel  last  year  to  bring  in  total  revenue  of  18.8  billion  bath.

 

For  its  first  half  year  performance  ending  June  30,  the  company  sold  633,000  tonnes  worth  5.77  billion  baht,  a  20%  increase  compared  to  the  same  period  of  last  year.

 

It  hopes  to  boost  exports  to  about  10%  of  total  sales  this  year  from   only  2-3%  in  the previous  year.    So  far,  export  prices  of  construction  steel  stand  at  US $530  a   tonnes  or  around  18,000  baht  per  tonne.  In  Thailand  it is  selling  at  19,500  baht  a  tonne.
