MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 
Business Review 

 
Indian economy is growing at a steady and sustained pace and is expected to register a growth rate of 8-8.5% for the year 2007-08. With positive indicators such as rising foreign exchange reserves, booming capital markets, rapidly expanding foreign direct investment inflows, Indian economy has emerged as the fastest growing economy in the world. Industrial and services sector have been the major contributors to this growth backed by increasing savings and investment rates. India's per capita income has increased at a rapid pace and according to the advance estimates of the Central Statistical Organization (CSO) India's Per Capita Income is estimated to be over USD 825.07 in 2007-08. Another significant aspect has been the broad-based nature of the growth process. While new economy industries like Information Technology and biotechnology have been growing around 30 per cent, significantly old economy sectors like steel have also been major contributors in the Indian growth process. India has moved up two places to become the fifth largest steel producer in the world. After the IT boom, a manufacturing revolution has been well underway in the Indian economy, spurred by the increasing presence of multinationals, scaling up of operations by the domestic companies and expanding domestic market. The sector has been averaging 9 per cent in the last four years (2004-08), with a record 12.3 per cent in 2006-07. India's vast domestic market and availability of low-cost workers with advanced technical skills has been instrumental in attracting the ever expanding number of multinationals who are setting up their manufacturing base in the country. The large size of the Indian market has obvious appeal and is the largest consumer market in the world. 

 
Indian steel industry has entered into a new growth zone considering the average growth rate in steel output for the last 5 years. The rapid rise in production has resulted in India becoming the world's fifth largest producer of steel. Demand for steel will continue to grow in traditional sectors such as infrastructure, construction, housing, automotive, steel tubes and pipes, consumer durables and ground transportation. Demand for specialized steel which is used in hi-tech engineering industry such as power generation, petro-chemicals, fertilizer etc. is also increasing. World wide production of steel was 1344 million tons in 2007-08 against 1249 million tons of last year. The production of steel in India in 2007-08 was 53.08 million tons as against 49.45 million tons in the previous year. Consumption of steel in India grew by 11.72% to 51.80 million tons in 2007-08. Steel is yet to touch the lives of millions of people in India. Per capita consumption of steel in India is only 29 kgs as against 400 kgs in the developed countries and world average of 140 kgs. The world apparent consumption of finished steel in 2008-09 is likely to rise by 5-6% and increase in supply is likely to be around 3-5%. 

 
Inflation during the first nine months of 2007-08 was under control but from January it has been steadily rising and has reached as high as 7.61% in April 08. The Government and Reserve Bank India (RBI) have taken series of steps for checking inflation including impressing upon steel and cement manufacturers to reduce prices despite heavy increase in the input costs. Export of iron ore continues from Indian shores and iron ore availability in India on per capita basis is one of the lowest in the world. If exports are not stopped India may not remain self sufficient in iron ore. Current shortage of inputs has increased the cost for steel products. There is need for the Government to help develop raw material resources for inputs like iron ore and coal and to provide adequate enabling infrastructure such as power, roads, ports, rail transport. Government intervention in prices is only a short term solution. Determination of steel prices should be left to the market dynamics which ensures price correction. 
 
Demand for steel is continuously increasing particularly in view of growth in infrastructure sector and new capacities are being set up in India. National steel policy formulated by Ministry of Steel envisages that by 2019-20 production of crude steel will reach 110 million tons, demand for steel will be 90 million tons, steel exports will be 26 million tons and steel imports will be 6 million tons. In line with the rising demand for steel your Company is setting up two steel plants of 6 million IPA each in Angul, Orissa and Patratu, Jharkhand. 

 

Opportunities and Threats 


Barring slight decrease in manufacturing sector and rising inflation, Indian economy is poised for a quantum jump in the next decade particularly steel industry in India and world over. Major investment will be made by the Government through budgetary allocation on infrastructure where steel is required in large quantities. Indian steel manufacturers are employing world class technology. New innovations are also taking place in Steel Industry for cost minimization and production maximization. Some of the cutting edge technologies that are being implemented in this industry are thin-slab casting, making of steel through the use of electric furnace and vacuum degassing. Steel from India finds growing acceptability in international markets. Present share of Indian steel industry in world trade steel is marginal and there is tremendous scope to increase this share further. 

 
The steel making capacity of the Company will increase to 8.4 million IPA after commissioning of steel plant in Angul, Orissa and will go up to 14.4 million IPA after commissioning of steel plant in Patratu, Jharkhand. The Company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Government of Chhattisgarh for increasing the capacity of Raigarh Plant from 3 million TPA to 6 million TPA. 

 
Power is crucial to industrial growth of India and private and public sector units are making huge investments in this sector. The Company is also giving major thrust to power generation. In addition to existing captive power plant of 333 MW, 270 MW (2X135MW) captive power plant is being set up at Raigarh to meet growing requirement of power at Raigarh works. 1080 MW captive power project is a part of Steel project being set up at Angul, Orissa and 1000 MW captive power project is a part of Steel project being set up at Patratu, Jharkhand. Tindal Power Limited, a subsidiary of the Company is implementing 1000 MW (4X250 MW) power project at Tamnar in Raigarh out of which two units of 250 MW capacity each have already started commercial generation of power. The plant will be fully operational by the end of July 2008. 

 
Another key raw material for power as well as steel is coal and iron ore. Applications have been made to State and Central Governments for allotment of additional coal and iron ore mines. During the year under report the Company was allotted Amarkonda - Murgadangal Coal block in Tharkhand jointly with Gagan Sponge Iron Limited and another mine namely Titpur Coal Block in Tharkhand was also allotted to the Company for captive use in proposed power plant in the state of Tharkhand. State Government of Tharkhand has also allotted Teralda Burn iron ore concession in Tharkhand for captive use in the proposed steel plant in the state of Tharkhand. 

 
The Central Government has issued Mining Policy - 2008 which provides an important shift from the traditional 'conservationist' to an 'appropriate use' of resources approach. This policy focuses on reduction in delays in the grant of mineral concession which attempts to provide level playing field for all players which will promote development of mining sector. The policy provides for greater certainty to the exploration companies for grant of mining licenses for the right to exploit the mineral resources successfully explored by it. Pursuant to this policy the Company expects to be allotted more iron ore and coal mines for its projects. 

 
The Company's subsidiary Tindal Steel Bolivia, SA has executed documents with the Government of Republic of Bolivia for development of FI Mutun iron ore mine which contains iron ore reserves of about 20 billion MT. Exploration licence has been granted and the mining license is expected to be granted in this financial year. The mining work will start immediately after receiving mining licence. 

 
The Central Government has tried to impress upon the industry to reduce prices in order to contain inflation and has announced removal of basic customs duty (BCD) on pig iron and mild steel products viz. sponge iron, granules and powders, ingots, billets, semi-finished products, hot rolled coils, cold rolled coils, coated coils/sheets, bars and rods, angle shapes and sections, and wires. Hitherto, these items attracted BCD of 5 per cent. To rein in prices of IMF bars and structurals, which are commonly used for construction of houses, the Government fully exempted the import of this item from countervailing duty, which is currently 14 per cent. Also, the Government has done away with BCD on three critical inputs for manufacture of steel- metallurgical coke, Ferro alloys and zinc. To disincentivise export of steel, the Finance Minister announced the imposition of 15 per cent export duty on specified primary forms and semi-finished products, and hot rolled coils/sheet; 10 per cent on specified rolled products including cold-rolled coils/sheets and pipes and tubes and 5 per cent on galvanized steel in coil/sheet form. However, no new fiscal measures were proposed on iron ore exports. These measures are bound to affect export of steel products and will increase domestic availability by resorting to imports which will affect price of steel products and profit margins of steel making Companies. 

 
Outlook 
 
The liberalization of industrial policy and other initiatives taken by the Government have given a definite impetus for entry, participation and growth of the private sector in the steel industry. While the existing units are being modernized/expanded, a large number of new/Greenfield steel plants are coming up in different parts of the country based on modern, cost effective, state of the art technologies. With 13 billion tons of iron ore deposits, 5th largest in the world and an expanding consumer market, the Indian steel industry is likely to receive huge domestic and foreign investments. 

 
Riding high on the resurgent economy and rising demand, the Indian steel industry has entered into a new development stage from 2005-06, with an average growth rate of 12 per cent per annum in steel output, for the last two years. 

 
Plate mill of 1.0 million IPA has started commercial production in the Raigarh Plant and is producing plates of various sizes which are in great demand. Work is going on for setting up of steel plant at Angul in Orissa and Patratu in Tharkhand. On completion of these plants, the total steel making capacity of the Company will rise to 14.4 million IPA which will cater to the increasing demand of steel products. 

 
Captive availability of iron ore, power and coal provides a competitive edge to the Company particularly at a time when the Government is trying to control prices. Besides, manufacturing facilities for production of a range of semi - finished and finished steel products gives leverage to the Company in deciding, based on demand and price, which products to manufacture. 

 

Financial Management 

 
Big expansion plans are under way which require huge amount of funds. The Company has a subsisting relationship with a large number of Banks and Financial Institutions in India and abroad. Senior managerial personnel are looking after the arrangement of funds at competitive cost, servicing of debts, ensure timely availability of funds for the projects, management of internally generated funds and maintaining healthy relations with all lenders. 

 
In view of the growing size of operations, accounts and finance department at all factories/ offices has been reinforced by induction of experienced and professionally qualified people and their role and responsibilities have been well defined. All financial transactions are properly recorded by the department and proper financial reports are periodically sent to the senior management. 

 
The Company arranged Rs.1700 millions from Fls and banks for meeting capital expenditure in the year under report. Efforts are being made to avail foreign currency funds for keeping interest charges at lower level. External Commercial Borrowings of US$ 200 million (equivalent in JPY) were availed from foreign banks /lenders. 

 


Industrial Relations and Human Resource Management 


Management of human resources is crucial to the growth of the Company. Indian economy is growing at a fast pace which has resulted in shortage of talent. The policy initiatives are directed towards inclusive growth and retention of talent. The Company has revised and updated its human resource policies and procedures. The Company had engaged management consultants to identify skill sets of people and training requirements. Various training programmes are being held for different levels to enhance their skills and update their knowledge. 
 
The Company is organizing safety awareness programmes to eliminate chances of accidents and danger to lives in line with the requirements of labour laws. The medical/ educational/ recreational facilities are available within the work premises for all classes of employees. Proper priority isaccorded for cleanliness of factory premises as well as its surroundings. 

 
Senior management continuously interacts with the staff members, sorts out their problems and provides guidance to them in order to cope up with their work efficiently. Rotation of employees is done in order to provide job satisfaction and increased interface with new people. Grievance redressal system is in place and employees suggestions are being sought to improve operational efficiency.

Jspl Bags tink Odisha Leadership award In Corporate Social Responsibility

Orissa chief minister Navin Patnaik gave away the Think Odisha Leadership Award in corporate social responsibility to Jindal Steel & Power Ltd (JSPL) , a company of the $ 10 billion O P Jindal Group, here on Thursday.

The Think Odisha Leadership Awards were given in various categories, including Arts and Culture, Literature, Sports and Industry. In the corporate social responsibility category , JSPL was adjudged the best company in the private sector and NALCO in the public sector.

JSPL has got the award for its pioneering social work in the Angul district of the state where the company is setting up a 6 million ton integrated steel plant and 1080 mw power plant. The company has built several roads and community halls, provided facilities for health and education and initiated employment generation schemes in the area.

Mr Rajesh Jha, Executive Director of the JSPL project, received the award on behalf of the company. Talking to media, he said “Though JSPL has got many awards for Corporate social responsibility and environment protection for works done at our other locations, but this award is special as it has come within a few months of our starting the project work in Angul. This award will strengthen our resolve to do more community work and make a difference in the lives of people who some how cannot take full advantage of the government’s development schemes.”

He said “We firmly believe that institutions are made up of individuals and only socially responsible and sensitive individuals make responsible normally corporates.”

JSPL has voluntarily ensured the compliance of the UN Global Compact Supporting 10 Principles on human rights, labour, environment and corruption, etc to demonstrate the highest degree of corporate social responsibility.

Jspl Lines up Rs 12k Cr For Raigarh Power Plant

NEW DELHI: Naveen Jindal-led Jindal Steel and Power (JSPL) is planning to invest close to Rs 120000 millions, through a combination of debt and equity, in its proposed 2,640 MW thermal power plant at Raigarh in Chhattisgarh. For the new project, which will be operational by 2013-14, the firm would require coal reserves of over 400 million tonnes.

The project would be undertaken by JSPL's subsidiary, Jindal Power (JPL). JPL has set up a 1,000 MW power plant at the same location in Raigarh out of which 750 MW of power has already been commissioned and the balance 250 MW would be commissioned next month.

"Though we own some land next to the existing power plant, we would further require significant amount of land for the proposed project. We are in talks with the state government and hope to take possession of essential coal blocks and land soon," said JPL deputy managing director, Sushil Maroo. He added, besides commercial use, the new plant would be used for captive use for steel making.

For setting up adequate infrastructure, the company is in talks with various equipment suppliers across Europe and China besides India and is expected to place orders in the next 3-4 months.

The company has roped in SBI Capital Markets for conducting financial appraisals.

“After the appraisal work gets over, we would approach investors for funds. The debt-equity ratio for the proposed plant would be 70:30,” Mr Maroo added.

The equity portion of the investment will come out of internal accruals and no fresh fund raising is planned as of now. Soon, the company would also lay down dedicated transmission lines to carry power from substations to the national grid.
