FINANCIAL
REVIEW:
Financial Year 2006-07
has been eventful year for company with further momentum in improving
operational efficiencies, laying strong foundation and building road map for modernisation
and expansion of SAIL Plants, with several new initiatives undertaken, with its
human resource at the core.
The company got the distinction of first metal company in
the country to reach a market capitalization of Rs. 500000 millions.
The company set new record in achieving the turnover of Rs.391890 million and
profit before tax of Rs.94230 million, registering growth of 21% & 65%
respectively over previous year. Company recorded net profit after tax (PAT) of
Rs.62020 million, an increase of 55%. There have been improvements in all
financial parameters.
While improved market condition helped in recording better
financial performance, significant improvements came by way of several internal
initiatives viz., higher capacity utilization at 114%, best ever
techno-economic parameters, thrust on production and sales of value added
products, emphasis on cost reduction and prudent cash management etc.
Impetus on cost reduction at all levels, productivity improvements through
systemic approach and application of new technology have resulted in cost
savings of Rs.403 crore during the year. Thrust areas included achieving higher
yields, improved techno-economic/productivity parameters, reduction in usage of
coking coal etc.
The strong financial performance contributed to enhanced cash generation to
meet our strategic objectives. Debt equity ratio has improved to 0.24: 1 (as on
31.3.2007) from 0.35: 1 (as on 31.3.2006). The company had liquid assets of
Rs.90337.400 million as at 31.3.2007 invested in short term deposits with
scheduled banks and considering borrowings of Rs.41805.200 million maintained
its virtual debt free status. The interest cost at Rs.3321.300 million reduced
by Rs.1356.300 million over previous year and the company earned interest of
Rs.6576.000 million during the year on the short term deposits compared to
Rs.4085.300 million in previous year. The entire capital expenditure of
Rs.11500 million during the year was funded through internal accruals.
The company has constituted a Gratuity Trust under the name 'Steel Authority of
India Limited Gratuity Fund' and contributed Rs.7500 million to the same. This
measure will secure gratuity payment to the employees.
The company has paid interim dividend @ 16% of the paid-up equity capital
during the year. The Board of Directors has further recommended a final
dividend @ 15% on paid up equity share capital subject to approval of
shareholders, thus making the total dividend @ 31% for the year 2006-07
(previous year 20%). A sum of Rs.6350 million has been transferred to the
general reserves during the year (previous year Rs.3100 million).
PRODUCTION
REVIEW:
The company achieved a
new record in production of saleable steel at 12.6 million tonnes with capacity
utilization touching a new high of 114%, through improvements in operational
efficiencies. The finished steel component in total saleable steel was also
highest ever at 10.3 million tonnes, a growth of 5% over previous year. Special
thrust was given to orient the company's product mix for more value added
products and increasing share of special steels. The production of value added
items touched 3 million tonnes for the first time and recorded a growth of 17%
during the year over previous year. Substantial growth was achieved in production
of pipes (38%), TMT bars (12%) and CRNO steel (10%).
The company introduced several new products in the domestic market during the
year: HCR-EQR TMT for earthquake resistant construction, rock bolt TMT for
tunnel construction, EN series HR coils for LPG cylinders, MC 12 HR coils for
chains etc.. In addition, Bhilai Steel Plant developed high strength vanadium
rails, Durgapur Steel Plant produced S-profile loco wheels for high speed locos
and Rourkela Steel Plant rolled special plates which were used in the
indigenously built rocket PSLV C-7. Company takes pride in supplying steel for
critical usage in projects of national importance, such as those used in
highest railway bridge in the world built over river Chenab, new generation
loco wheels, naval aircraft carrier and materials for several products of
defence usage.
The company continued to take measures for further improving techno-economic
parameters, achieving a record continuous cast production of 8.3 million tonnes
(up by 5%), lowest ever coke rate of 541 kg/thm, best ever blast furnace
productivity at 1.50 t/ m3/day (up by 3%) and lowest ever energy consumption at
7.16 Gcal/tonne (1% improvement). Bhilai Steel Plant achieved the highest
campaign life of 6252 heats in converter which is the best in country for any
top blown converter. Specific power consumption reduced by 4% as compared to
previous year to lowest ever level of 460 kwh/T of saleable steel.
General Economic
Environment:
The world economy has witnessed a continuous growth in the last five years with
the world Gross Domestic Products (GDP) increasing by an average of 4.4%
annually. The strengthening of industrial activities in Asia and Europe boosted
the global growth to an estimated 5% in 2006. Asia, led by China and India,
continues to be the world economy's growth engine. The United States, although
still dominant economic power, have been supplanted at the forefront of growth
by China and India and other emerging economies.
East Asian Economies lead the economic growth in the developing world with an
average of 7.6% in 2006. China recorded a growth rate of more than 10% while
South Asia led by India (growth of 9%) had a growth rate of 6.7%. The
performance of the least developed countries, especially of the oil producers
and other mineral exporters, was surprisingly strong averaging nearly 7% in
2006. Japan also experienced robust growth in 2006 while growth in Europe also
exceeded expectations. The economic growth of India, China & others have
boosted demand for resources, which in turn, has created shortage of raw
materials & have sent commodities' prices soaring.
Global growth is expected to slacken around 3.2% in 2007. However, the growth
is expected to remain robust at 5.9% for developing countries and 6.5% for
economies in transition. Prospects for growth in both East Asian economies and
South Asia are expected to remain strong. As per the Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) forecast, Indian economy is expected to grow at a rate of 8.5% or above in
2007.
The slackening of the world economic growth in 2007, emanates out of the
uncertainties, like movement of crude oil prices, political instability in
Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere in the middle east etc, and cooling of the
housing boom in U.S.A. leading to slowing down of the US economy (expected
growth 2.2% in 2007). The economic recovery in Japan and Europe is not expected
to be strong enough to replace the US as the engine of growth of the world
economy. Climate change has also become a critical global priority, as it
exercises a devastating toll on the environmental health of the nations.
Efforts are being made to improve energy efficiency both in China and
India.
India's global competitiveness (43rd) compares well with those of the three other
large emerging economies like China (54th), Russia (62nd) and Brazil (66th).
(Source: World Economic Forum Annual Meet 2007) India has been moving towards
greater innovation capabilities. Once India exploits its resource base further,
it should be able to produce quality goods at low price being a low cost
economy, with a high quality resource base.
Indian Economy:
India today is one of the fastest growing economies with a Compounded Annual
Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.1% in last 3 years. The GDP growth for 2006-2007 has
been 9.4%. The GDP is expected to grow @ 8-10% upto 2011-12. The growth
of industrial production in 2006-2007 stands at 11.3% over last year. The
growth in the ndustry in FY'07 was mainly driven by manufacturing sector which
showed a remarkable growth of 12.3% over 2005-2006. Mining sector grew by 5.1%
and electricity by 7.2%. The six infrastructure industries grew by 8.6% in
2006-07 as against 6.2% in the previous year. The sectoral growth rates for the
period are basic goods-10.2%, capital goods- 17.7% and intermediate
goods-11.7%. Consumer durables have shown a growth of 9.0%
World Steel Scenario:
As per International Iron and Steel Institute (IISI), Global crude steel output
in 2006 was 1244 million tonnes up by 8.9% compared to 2005. Of this the Asian
Region alone accounted for 53.7% as against only 38.4% ten years ago. Apparent
steel consumption of finished steel touched 1113.2 million tonnes in 2006,
showing a growth of 8.5% over 2005. There was a positive growth trend in steel
consumption all over the world. Global steel trade has increased by 13% to 395
million tonnes in 2006. Internationally, steel prices remained stable or
buoyant practically through out the year.
China has further strengthened its position as largest single market for steel.
Chinese apparent steel consumption of finished steel at 356.2 million tonnes
reflected a 9% growth in 2006 and is further expected to increase by 13% in
2007. Strong positive growth trends are foreseen in Africa, Asia and South
America in 2007. However, the soaring prices of raw materials and the
progressive pressure on the availability of inputs has been a cause of major
concern. Prices of key inputs such as coking coal, coke, iron ore, scrap, etc.
continued to remain high. Prices of other important inputs like Nickel,
Manganese Ore, Copper, Zinc also continued to rise, with global price of nickel
increasing 55% in the financial year 2006-07 and touching a record high of $
51,625 per tonne.
Production vis-a-vis Demand for Steel in
India:
India produced about 45 million tonnes of crude steel in fiscal 2006-07, a
growth of nearly 8% over previous year's production of 41.66 million tonnes.
The apparent domestic consumption of finished mild steel during the year FY'07
was 43.7 million tonnes as compared to 39.2 million tonnes during the previous
year. The import of finished mild steel during FY'07 was approx. 4.1 million
tonnes as compared to 3.9 million tonnes in FY'06 and export was 4.8 million
tonnes as compared to 4.5 million tonnes during the previous year. Both imports
and exports have shown a growth of 6.5% and 6.1% respectively.
The Construction, Automobiles, Water, Oil and gas transportation and capital
goods sectors are expected to be the key growth drivers in FY'08. In the last
three years, the growth in construction has been in the range of 12-14% driven
mainly by industrialization, massive infrastructure investment, urbanization
and the real estate boom. The projected investment of approx. Rs.1500000
million in infrastructure like rails, roads, ports & airports in the 11th
plan period will all lead to a surge in the activities of the construction
industry and thereby to increased consumption of long products.
The domestic automobile sector is growing at 14.2% CAGR over the past few years
while the auto components market has been growing at 19.2% CAGR.
India is expected to become a major hub both for the
automobile and as well as for the auto components sector. This will fuel the
demand for cold rolled & coated products. Similarly, the demand for flat
products particularly Pipes & Tubes segment, is expected to increase
substantially driven by demandfor pipelines for crude oil, LNG and Petroleum
products.
Position of Steel
Authority of India Limited (SAIL):
India is ranked as the 7th largest steel producing country in the world, while
SAIL is ranked as the 19th largest steel producer in the world during 2006
(Source: IISI) SAIL continues to be the largest steel producer of finished
steel in India with about one fourth of the market share during FY'07.
Outlook:
According to Joint Plant Committee, there has been a growth of 11.5% in
apparent consumption of finished steel in 2006-07 fiscal over the previous
year. India's apparent steel consumption is expected to grow @ 9.1% in 2007, 7%
upto 2010 and 7.7% upto 2015. (Source: IISI) DP growth is estimated at 9%
during 2006-07 and is expected to grow @ 8-10% upto 2011-12. Savings rate has
risen to 34.1% of GDP and GFCF to 31% in 2006-07. Industrialization &
Manufacturing growth has been in double digits while expected growth in
construction is in the range of 12-14%. Investment in infrastructure is
envisaged at $ 350 billion. Cement, Steel ratio being 3:1, there is ample
opportunity to increase steel use. As the per capita steel consumption in
India is still very low compared to world average, potential for growth is
enormous. With economy expected to remain on high growth path, steel
consumption is expected to grow in double digits right upto 201-12.

Press Release
Steel Minister commissions 3 new
production facilities at Bhilai
New Delhi, November 18, 2006
Union Minister for Chemicals & Fertilizers and Steel Mr.
Ram Vilas Paswan today commissioned three new production facilities set up at a
total cost of Rs. 1870 millions at Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP) of Steel Authority
of India Limited (SAIL). Presently under stabilization, the facilities have
been added as part of subject’s Rs. 37,0000 millions expansion plan that is
currently under implementation. SAIL Chairman Mr S.K. Roongta has accompanied
the Minister on his visit to Bhilai.
Bhilai’s four-strand continuous Wire Rod Mill with the
capacity to produce 0.4 million tones per annum (mtpa) of wire rods from rolled
billets was commissioned in 1967. Strands ‘C’ and ‘D’ had been revamped in
1995. The proposal to revamp the ‘B’ strand at a cost of around Rs. 750
millions was approved by the SAIL Board in December 2004. Modernization of the
strand has provided the Mill with facilities to produce wire rods of TMT grade and
smaller section of 5.5 to 7.0 mm with consistent productivity besides improving
tolerance, ovality and yield of the rods. Morgardshammar AB of Sweden was the
technology supplier for the project that was executed in three packages. Other
companies which participated in the project are BEC Limited of Bhilai, ABB
Limited of Bangalore and HSCL.
The Plate Mill of Bhilai Steel Plant, commissioned in 1983,
is a two-stand continuous mill with capacity to produce 0.95 mtpa of plates in thicknesses
ranging from 5 to 120 mm from cast slabs. The SAIL Board had approved the
proposal for installation of hydraulic automatic gauge control (HAGC) and plan
view rolling (PVR) in Plate Mill at a cost of around Rs. 520 millions in
January 2005. The benefits that will accrue to the Mill due to the new
facilities include production of plates with closer thickness tolerances,
achievement of high rectangularity of plates, yield improvement, cropping at
exact length, etc. The project was executed on turnkey basis by Danieli
Automation SpA, Italy along with their consortium member Danieli Engineering
India Limited of Kolkata.
Equipped with three 12 MW turbo-generators, 10 turbo-blowers
and six boilers, Power & Blowing Station (PBS) of BSP meets the captive
power requirements of critical units and supplies air blast to blast furnaces
as well as process steam through steam boilers for meeting the needs of various
shops. The proposal to install a 15 MW turbo-generator at a cost of around Rs.
480 millions, in place of turbo generator # 3 of PBS that had outlived its use,
was approved by the SAIL Board in May 2004.
SAIL shareholders vote
on IISCO’s amalgamation with SAIL
New Delhi, November 8,
2005
Shareholders of the subject exercised their
right of franchise on the scheme of amalgamation of the company’s wholly-owned
subsidiary Indian Iron & Steel Company Limited (IISCO) with subject at an
Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held for the purpose at the IAF auditorium
in Subroto Park here this afternoon.
IISCO has an integrated steel plant at Burnpur
in West Bengal and iron ore and coal mines/washeries in Jharkhand and Bengal.
The main products of IISCO are structural, bars & rods and pig iron.
Following the approval of the Government of
India in June 2005, and subsequent clearance given by the Board of Industrial
& Financial Reconstruction (BIFR), to the Ministry of Steel’s proposal for
the amalgamation of IISCO with SAIL, the matter had been referred to the
Ministry of Company Affairs (MoCA) for approval. The MoCA had directed SAIL to
hold its shareholders’ meeting to obtain their consent to the proposed
amalgamation under the provisions of Article 391-94 of the Companies Act, 1956.
It had also nominated Mr V.S. Jain, Chairman, SAIL, as the chairman of the
meeting of the company’s shareholders.
The outcome of the poll will be made public
shortly, when the chairman submits his report to the MoCA. IISCO had emerged
from a long loss-making spell in 2003-04 by recording net profit of Rs. 270 millions.
In 2004-05, the company declared a PAT of Rs. 46.60 millions on a turnover of Rs. 1,4870 millions. The company has 16,218 employees on its rolls as on
1.4.05.
IISCO’s iron ore mines at Chiria in Jharkhand
are rich in quality and quantity. Their strategic location would be
advantageous for SAIL. Availability of large infrastructure facilities with
IISCO will help expansion of capacity. Inter-plant synergy can be better
exploited for improved and complementary product-mix. Moreover, IISCO has
experienced manpower with good work culture. And SAIL has financial and
managerial capabilities that can be pooled for faster growth of SAIL, including
IISCO.
Subject has recently approved a plan to invest
around Rs. 8,0000 millions for technological up gradation of IISCO, taking its annual
hot metal production capacity to 2.5 million tones by 2011-12 from the present
level of 0.85 million tones.
Steel Minister
inaugurates Rourkela Steel Plant's Modernisation & Expansion Plan
New Delhi, 4 January 2008
Implementation of the National Steel Policy was
put on a fast track with the Honorable Union Minister for Chemicals &
Fertilisers and Steel, Mr. Ram Vilas Paswan, today laying the foundation stone
for the modernisation and expansion of Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) of Steel
Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) in the distinguished presence of the Chief Guest
of the ceremony, Honourable Chief Minister of Orissa Mr. Naveen Patnaik, at the
site of the plant's upcoming 5th Blast Furnace.
In his address the Hon'ble Minister said:
"SAIL has chalked out an ambitious plan for nearly doubling its annual
output to 26 million tonnes over the next three years. The SAIL plants are
going in for capacity enhancement as well as modernisation and rationalisation
of production equipment and processes. The expansion of RSP is a key component
of this programme. I am impressed with the tremendous growth achieved by RSP in
its physical as well as the financial performance. For the first time in its
history the plant crossed the 2 million tonne mark in the production of hot
metal during the year 2006-07. This stupendous performance resulted in RSP
registering the best ever net profit of Rs. 13360 million in the same fiscal.
This year I am expecting that RSP will be making more than Rs. 15000 million.
The most significant feature of this achievement is all the major units of RSP
recording more than 100% capacity utilisation on a consistent basis. It is the
dedication and the commitment of the entire RSP collective that has led to this
impressive performance and I take this opportunity to congratulate all of you
for this."
Mr. Paswan also outlined his plans for SAIL By
saying: "It is my vision to make SAIL so strong that it can sustain the
vagaries of the dynamic steel market. We have chalked out a plan for the merger
of some of the steel plants under which IISCO has already by being merged with
SAIL and the next in line are MEL, NINL etc." Elaborating on the vital
role played by raw materials in the performace of SAIL he spoke about the
renewal of the mining leases at Barsua, Taldih and Kalta and requested the
Orissa Chief Minister to sort out the difficulties related to these mines as
outlined by Chairman SAIL and Secretary, Steel. He further urged Mr. Patnaik to
expedite the process of transfer of Thakurani mines to SAIL.
Elaborating on the challenges ahead the
Honourable Minister said, "You have to ensure that the modernisation
programme is completed without any time and cost over runs. The steel environment
has become fully globalised and intensely competitive and unless SAIL plants
internalize these realities and step up their productivity they will be left
behind."
Commenting on Corporate Social Responsibility -
a subject close to his heart - the Minister said, "I am pleased to note
that RSP has adopted 16 villages in the vicinity as model steel villages, in
addition to providing other services in areas like education and health care.
As suggested by the Chief Minister we will be setting up ITIs."
Expressing his immense happiness at the
tremendous dedication and enthusiasm of the RSP collective which had resulted
in the remarkable turnournd of the steel plant the Honourable Minister
announced a special reward of Rs. 2000 for the employees of RSP.
It is significant that the modernisation and
expansion of RSP, which was the first steel plant in the public sector in the
country, will not only increase its production and productivity but will also
improve the quality of products, increase the production of value added steel,
reduce the energy consumption, take care of the environment and cut down the
cost of production. The plan envisages capacity increase to more than double
from the existing 2 million tonnes of hot metal to 4.5 million tonnes. The
modernisation package will help to establish RSP as an important player in the
dynamic steel scenario, besides contributing to progress and prosperity in the
region.
Orissa Chief Minister Mr. Naveen Patnaik
expressed his happiness over the way RSP the biggest industry of Orissa has
contributed in the development and progress of the state as well as improving
the socio-economic condition of the people of Orissa. He expressed the hope
that the steel plant after the massive modernisation will continue to contribute
to the well being of the state and its people and at the same time will be a
pioneer in the steel industry.
Mr. R.S. Pandey, Secretary (Steel), Govt. of
India, informed the gathering that an MoU has been signed between SAIL, RINL,
CIL, NTPC and NMDC to jointly promote a Special Purpose Vehicle for acquisition
of coal mines/properties. "Consumption of steel is outsripping production,
making India a steel importing country and with the implementation of the Steel
Policy initiatives the country is expected to become a steel exporting
country."
Mr. S.K. Roongta, Chairman, SAIL, in his address
said: "RSP which is known for its versatile products has shown a
commendable performance. Now the steel plant has a big challenge of
implementing its modernisation and expansion plan by 2010 which includes
installation of a new sinter plant, new blast furnace of higher volume of 4060
cubic meters new plate mill and new CRNO mill."
Mr. Jual Oram, MP, Sundargarh, and Mr.
R.C.Paswan, MP, Rozera, Bihar, also spoke on the occasion and express the hope
that the modernisation and expansion would usher in a new era of progress and
prosperity.
Mr. B.N.Singh, RSP Managing Director, while
proposing a vote of thanks expressed his gratitude to the Honourable Minister
and Honourable Chief Minister for gracing the occasion and inspiring the
Rourkelites. Outlining the SAIL's vision for RSP he said," RSP is already
on the track for achieving 4.5 million tonnes and would move to achieving 8.5
million tonne capacity in the next phase."
Earlier, in an informal interaction with the
members of the media, Mr. Paswan said, "RSP was incurring losses
continuously for about ten years till 2003-04. I am happy to announce that
today it is a high profit making company. During the tenure of the UPA
government in the last three years it has made a profit of Rs. 3,500 crore. I
wish to thank the RSP collective and Government of Orissa for providing support
and making this achievement possible."
Commenting on the future of the steel industry in
general and SAIL in particular the Honourable Minister said, " The
Government is planning to invest Rs. 3.5 lakh crore in the steel industry by
2014-15 and Rs. 8 lakh crore by 2020, making India the second largest producer
in the world. The expansion plans of SAIL to the tune of around Rs. 50,000
crore would increase the capacity of SAIL from 14.6 million tonnes per annum of
hot metal production to 26 million tonnes by 2010. I am also hopeful that the
Jharkhand Government would take steps to expedite the handing over of the
Chiria mines to SAIL."
In response to a query the Hon'ble Minister said
he had asked all the steel plants under SAIL to invest 2% of the profit on
Corporate Social Responsibility activities clearly underscoring the immense
importance he pays to CSR initiatives. Answering a question on how he assessed
the performance of SAIL Honourable Minister said, "SAIL is one of the best
organisations in the country and its performance is even better than the
companies in the private sector."
