LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY:

 

The company was later converted into a Public Limited Liability Company w. e. f. 05.051975.

 

Jindal Strips Limited has been merged with Jindal Stainless Limited with effect from 01.04.2002.

 

Subject was promoted by O. P. Jindal and Associates.  The company was incorporated to manufacture mild steel, HR plates and coils. It started a mini steel mill at Hisar in 1971. As a strategy to counter low margins in mild steel, the company diversified into production of stainless steel in the late 70’s. Subject was the first company to produce stainless steel HR coils (SAIL started with CR coils and has recently commissioned HR production in its stainless steel plant). In 1983, the company forward integrated with a CR plant for stainless steels at a site adjacent to its sister company Jindal Iron’s plant at Vasind (near Mumbai). In 1990, the company embarked upon major backward integration-cum-expansion by commencing work on a sponge iron plant at Raigarh in Madhya Pradesh. The company has over the years developed a number of technologically new processes to save on capital and operational costs. The company’s indigenously designed rotary kilns, for sponge iron, had teething problems and the setting up of the sponge iron plants was hence considerably delayed. 

 

The subject was incorporated in November 1970 and became public in 1975. It was promoted by O. P. Jindal and Associates. The company, which started with a single plant at Hisar, has become a multi-plant, multi-location company. It manufactures stainless steel strips at Hisar, wide strip hot and cold-rolled coils from imported slabs at Vasind and sponge iron at Raigarh. The company is one of the few companies in the iron and steel industry without any technical collaboration, all its technology is developed in-house. The stainless steel produced by the company is mostly used for utensils, while cold-rolled coils are partially used captivity by a group concern for GP/GC sheets and the remaining is sold to the automobile and two-wheeler industry. One of India’s largest stainless steel producers with a market share of 40 %.

 

The company came out with an issue of partly convertible debentures in April, 1992 to finance the expansion capacity to 600000 tpa of sponge iron and 500000 tpa of pig iron.  It is also to set up a captive power plant of 45 MVA.  In 1994-95, Brahmputra Capital and Finance Services Private Limited became a subsidiary.

 

The year 1998-99, as per the scheme of arrangement between Jindal Strips and Jindal Steel and Power Limited, the former hived off its Raigarh and Raipur divisions to the company. In December 1999, it placed 5.75% foreign currency convertible bonds to the international investors for an aggregate amount of US$ 30 millions. The issue was oversubscribed to the extent of US$ 3.5 millions. The Vasind division of the company has been hived off to subsidiary Jindal Steel and Alloy Limited, w. e. f. from January, 2000.

 

The Phase II of the stainless steel cold rolling project, wherein the cold rolling capacity is being increased to 90000 tpa has commenced trial run production. All the value additional lines constituting of skin pass mill, strip grinding line and bright annealing line have already been commissioned. The company acquired a 60,000 tpa stainless steel cold rolling facility of Bethlehem Steel at Massillon, USA at a project cost of US$ 5 millions.

 

Subject has decided to incorporate a wholly-owned IT subsidiary, Cross Border IT (India), to foray into the global IT services business.  It becomes the second company from the Rs. 40000.000 millions O. P. Jindal Group to diversify into the high net worth IT sector after Jindal Steel and Power.

 

The 2001-02 Cold rolling units has commissioned the coin blanking facility and supply coin blanks to GOI. The Hot Rolling division is currently extending its capacity buy installing a new EAF.

 

Subject is one of the few companies in the iron and steel industry without any technical collaboration, all its technology is developed in-house.  It is one of the India's largest stainless steel producers with a market share of 40%.

 

The company is formed by demerging all the assets and liabilities and also the Stainless Steel manufacturing which was undertaken by Jindal Strips Limited. The Scheme of Arrangement & Demerger entered between Jindal Strips and Jindal Stainless Steel was sanctioned by the Hon'ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana.

  
To enhance the Shareholders value after the post merger Jindal Stainless Steel issued bonus shares to its shareholders and for this a scheme of arrangement was also entered between both the companies. Subsequently the Share Capital increased to Rs. 189.800 millions comprising 18982172 equity shares of Rs. 10 each. 


During April, 2003 Austenitic Creations Private Limited and J-Inox Creations Std was amalgamated with Jindal Stainless Steel Limited. Both the above companies are into the business of Architecture, Building constriction sector.

 

During February, 2004 the Equity Shares of the company has been subdivided from One equity share of Rs. 10 each into 5 equity shares of Rs. 2 each. 

 
The company has acquired an Indonesian company, PT. Maspion Stainless Steel, and formalities has been completed in December 2004. Consequent of this acquisition, PT. Maspion Stainless Steel has become the subsidiary of the company and this Indonesian company has started commercial production. 

 
PT Jindal Stainless, Indonesia and Jindal Stainless Steelway
Limited are the subsidiaries of the company. Further Jindal Stainless Steelway Limited is a joint venture company between the company and Steelway S.r.l Italy and this venture would provide customized stainless steel products, inventory management, technical value engineering, warehousing, material testing and distribution services in stainless steel to meet specific requirements of the customer effectively and efficiently.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

 

Stainless steel is crucial to the growth and development of any economy. The importance of stainless steel is evident from the fact that the existence of a strong stainless steel industry determines the pace of development of major industrial economies. The growth of many of these economies has been largely shaped by the strength of their steel industries in their initial stages of development. 


Despite high oil prices that topped up to $75 a barrel during last one year, global GDP has registered a growth of 3.9% in 2006 compared with 3.5% in 2005. In 2006, US economies show an acceleration of 3.3% in GDP. After several years of weakness, European economy has shown recovery and registered a growth of 2.6%. In Asian region, China outperforms again with a growth rate of 10.7%, Japanese economy grew by 2.2% and Indian GDP growth rate is estimated at around 9.4%. 



Global GDP is growing at a healthy rate. The pace of growth is evidently due to "Emerging Economies", which was earlier commanded by 'Advanced Economies0. It is the continuous expansion of developing countries, which has resulted in such a strong global performance. Developing countries have grown by 7.0%, which is almost double of the growth rate of high-income countries 3.1%.

 
Among developing countries, India and China has shown robust growth in their GDP, which is almost double of overall growth rates of developing countries, and almost three fold of global GDP. 


It is expected that despite rising oil prices and rising interest rates, developing economies will remain the critical driver of global growth in 2007 and 2008. Global GDP is expected to grow at the rate 3.2% and 3.5% in 2007 and 2008 respectively. India and China are expected to grow at 8.4% and 10% in 2007 and at 7.8% and 9.5% in 2008 respectively. 
 


Global Stainless Steel Scenario: 


Strong GDP growth strengthens the stainless steel demand: 


Global GDP and industrial productions are growing at a healthy rate resulting in strong demand of stainless steel in all sectors including, infrastructure, construction and industrial applications. 

 
On the support of strong global economic development stainless steel industry globally has witnessed compounded growth of around 6.8% per annum during the last four years. Global stainless steel production in 2006 is 28.49 million tonnes against 25.05 million tonnes in 2005, registering a growth of around 13.7%, beating the estimates of 27.8 million tonnes. 


The growing segment is Asia, where stainless steel production grew around 20.6% to 15.2 million tonnes. Asia now produces more than half of stainless steel in the world. The driving force was China, which produced 5.3 million tonnes, a gain of around 68% from 2005. 


Japan previously had been the largest stainless steel producer in Asia.

 

Japanese output totaled 4.1 million tonnes in 2006, up 2.3% over 2005. All other stainless steel-producing countries in Asia showed growth rates of between 9 to 13 percent except South Korea, where production remained flat. 


The second-largest stainless steel producing area in 2006 was Western Europe/Africa, where stainless steel production increased by 13.4% to 10 million tonnes. 


Following the strong pace of global economic development in 2006, 2007 is also expected to be a bright year for the world economy. Global GDP is expected to grow at the rate 3.2% in 2007. Demand for stainless steel is expected to be firm from all key end users. 


Although the new capacities are coming up all over the world, but proximity of raw material will be the critical factor in determining the cost competitiveness of any stainless steel manufacturer. Since Subject facilities are coming up in ore rich state of Orissa, so Subject will have additional advantage over others. 

 

 
Indian Outlook: 


Indian Economy:

 
Following the global trend, Indian economy has registered a growth of around 9.4% in 2006-07. The growth rate has been spurred by the manufacturing sector, which has logged an 11.3% rise in 2006-07. The per capita income in real terms (at 1999-2000 prices) during 2006-07 is likely to attain a level above Rs.22,000 as compared to Rs. 20,734 for the year 2005-06. The growth rate in per capita income is estimated at 7.9 per cent during 2006-07, as against the previous year's estimate of 7.4 per cent. 


Stainless steel is the highest growth metal:

 
Following the high economic growth rate, Indian stainless steel market entered into the high growth segment of around 11-14% which is much higher than the world average of approximately 6%. The India's contribution to global SS production accordingly has increased from 2% in 1998 to more than 6% in 2006. Stainless steel production in India in 2006 was 1.7 million tonnes registering a growth of 9.7% over 1.5 million tonnes production in 2005.

 
The importance of stainless steel industry is so much that the level of per capita consumption of stainless steel is treated as one of the important indicators of socio-economic development and living standards of the people in any country.

 
In 2005 the per capita usage of stainless steel in India was around 1.1 kg, compared to 4.1 kg that of china and 12-13 kg that of the developed nations in Europe and western world. It is estimated that the per capita usage will grow over the next few years due to the continued growth of the Indian economy and rise in income levels. 


Demand Forecast:

 
The use of stainless steel in India is essentially in two distinct categories, utensil grade and industrial applications. According to Indian Stainless Steel Development Association, the utensil sector market in India accounted for approximately 70% of the stainless steel demand and the remainder was used in industrial applications such as processing, building and construction, transport, machinery and appliances. Railways, automobiles, architecture, building and construction sectors are expected to be the growth sectors for the Indian stainless steel industry in the medium term. 


Rising real estate sector is creating a big market for stainless steel. The main growth thrust is coming due to several factors, which mainly includes consistent and sustaining GDP growth, expanding service sector, rising purchasing power and affluence, proactive and changing government policies etc. Indian real estate has huge potential demand in almost every sector especially commercial, residential, retail & industrial etc. The Indian IT/ITES (Information & Technologies Enabling Services) sector has been the primary demand driver in the commercial segment. To scale up their operations and to remain globally competitive, the Indian IT/ITES companies are exploring the smaller towns and cities. Housing shortage in urban India has resulted in hugh demand of residential units. With the growing urbanization the real estate action is no longer limited to the large metropolises of India but has now entered to smaller towns and cities. The construction boom fuelled by mushrooming of malls, shopping complexes and IT parks and airports, etc provide a big market for the stainless steel industry and particularly high quality flat products.

 
Automobile sector is the high growth sector in India. Most auto majors are setting up facility in India to cater to the growing domestic market and also make India an export hub for fully built automobiles as well as the components. Besides, India is the largest manufacturer of 2 wheelers with a production of over 7 million units. With the implementation of Euro 11 and Euro Ill norms, stainless steel is becoming de facto the material of choice for exhaust systems. Another big opportunity comes in the form of the bus body manufacturing which is now moving from small time fabricators to the organized sector. With the demonstrated benefits of lightweight and savings in maintenance costs besides the improved life, this sector will open up huge opportunities for stainless steel demand. 


Railways major modernization drive has a major focus on the use of stainless steel whether it is light weight coaches, wagons, metro trains or even the station infrastructure. With the advent of Delhi Metro which showcases the benefit of stainless steel for rail body structure, interest has been generated in the other government bodies, who appreciate the lifecycle benefits and savings offered by lightweight and maintenance free stainless steel coaches and wagons. 


During the past few years, Railways have been evaluating the benefits of stainless steel wagons for the transportation of coal. After extensive trials, stainless steel has established superior performance over alternative materials and as a result, the railways have decided for greater use of stainless steel in the manufacturing of wagons to be used in the transportation of coal.

 
Modernization of major Indian Airports is under process and has high potential for use of stainless steel which includes roofing, column cladding, building construction, wall panels, ticket booths and counters, elevators / escalators, trolleys and conveyor systems, etc.

 
Indian capital goods industry has been going through a boom for the last five years and is expected to continue their phenomenal growth in earnings over the next few years, which will strengthen the stainless steel demand further. Currently, in India, about 3.5 per cent of GDP is spending on infrastructure, which is much less than China's 10 per cent, which means we still have a long way to go. India's current capex boom is leading to demand for different engineering goods.

 
High Nikel prices-Growth Potential of Clfl Series Stainless Steel:

 
Nickel forms the 8% in weight but 70% in terms of value of total raw material cost of 300 series of stainless steel like cold rolled 304 grades.

 

During the year nickel rose up to an all time high of more than 50,000 $ / tonne mark compared to 17,755 $ / tonne highest in previous year. The stainless steel market has seen a growing amount of substitution away from nickel bearing grades in recent years. The dramatic rally in Nickel price has really and truly attracted the market towards lower nickel austenitic grades (200 series) and ferritic nickel free grades (400 series). Due to this trend the Cr Mn (Chrome Manganese) stainless steel 200 series has gained market acceptance worldwide particularly in China and more recently in certain European market. 


Jindal Stainless is a global leader in chrome manganese segment (200 series) of stainless steel. Jindal Stainless, due to its technological capabilities, operational efficiencies and leadership in this segment is able to meet the increasing demand of this segment in a more competitive manner.
