LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

The company was originally incorporated on 09.01.1985 at Indore in Madhya Parades having Company Reg. No. 10-2716 later, the registered office of the company was transferred to Mumbai in the year 2003 and a new company Reg. No. 11-140379 of Mumbai ROC was obtained 

 

History

 

National Steel & Agro Industries Limited earlier known as National Steel Industries, a Ruchi group company co-promoted by Madhya Pradesh Audhyogik Vikas Nigam to manufacture galvanised plain (GP) and galvanised corrugated (GC) sheets and coils, set up a GP/GC plant with 40,000-tpa capacity in 1987 in technical collaboration with Cockerill Works, Belgium. The capacity has since been expanded to the present 130000.


Galvanised sheets manufactured by the company are used in building and construction, automobiles, appliances and agriculture, and are marketed under the Peacock brand. Exports are done through international trading companies based in Singapore, Malaysia and Europe. The products are ultimately sold in West Asia, West Africa, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Burma, Vietnam, Ghana, Zambia and Kenya

 
A unit for cold-rolled steel sheets and coils was set up in 1992-93, in technical collaboration with three world leaders -- CMI, Belgium; Stein Heurty, France; and Phoenix Works, Belgium. The cold-rolling mill started commercial production from Sep.'94 and caters to its GP/GC plant. 

 
The company's fully computerised galvanising line incorporates the world's latest Dagal process, comprising superior surface cleaning and preparation techniques. It also has facilities for computer-aided annealing followed by hot dip galvanising in a zinc bath. The resultant products adhere to Indian and international standards such as ASTM, JIS, DIN and BIS. 

 
The company increased its installed capacity to 130000 TPA for manufacturing G.P./G.C.Coils/Sheets & to 120000 for C.R.Coils/Sheets in 2000-2001.  

 
Since the demand for the Steel is very much optimistic the company is in the process of setting up a Color Coating Plant and also expand its production facilities by 100%. The above said expansion and is expected to go streamline in the second half of the financial year 2004-05. The project is being financed by way of term loans and further issue of share capital. During 2002-03 the company has issued 1187000 RCP Shares at par to NRI and Bodies Corporate on private placement basis to part finance the above said project.

 

 

Industry Structure and Developments: 

 
The Iron and Steel Industry in India consists mainly of two categories of producers - primary and secondary steel producers. Primary producers or the integrated steel producers have integrated steel making facility and use iron ore / scrap / DRI / coal / coke / gas for production of steel and havefacilities for production of semi finished / finished steel products. The secondary producers have re-rolling and finishing facilities and use semi / intermediary products and finished products to produce finished products and value added products for direct usage by consumers. The industry can becategorized by the shape of products as well into flats and longs. 

 
Riding high on the resurgent economy and rising demand, the Indian steel industry has entered into new development stage from 2005-06 with an average growth rate of 12% per annum in steel out put. The rapid rise has resulted in India becoming the world's 5th largest producer of steel, up by 3 places from the ranking of 8th in 2003. India retained its position as the world's largest producer of Sponge Iron. India is expected to become the second largest steel producing nation in the world by 2015. 

 

Opportunities and Threats:

 

The demand for steel will continue to grow in traditional sectors such as infrastructure, construction, housing, automotive, steel tubes and pipes, consumer durables, packaging and ground transportation. Specialized steel will also be increasingly used in hi-tech engineering industries - such as power generation, petrochemicals, fertilizers etc. According to a report by the World Steel Dynamics, a leading global steel information service, Indian steel industry has entered a period of massive growth not only in steel demand but also in steel making capacities. According to Credit Swisse Group India's steel consumption will grow by 16% fuelled by demand for construction and infrastructure. 

 
With this surge in demand level, steel producers have been reporting encouraging results. A host of steel companies have line up major investment proposals. While some of the investment is directed at modernization and upgradation of existing plants, a major share of it is either to set up new plants or expand existing capacities. Indian steel producers are spreading their footprints all over the globe. Country's steel industry is getting renewed global attention. 

 
While the gap between the demand and supply, the high cost of raw materials has been driving the steel prices northwards, the pressure of such steep rise on inflation has drawn the attention of the government. Union government's recent policy measures on steel both administrative and fiscal have meant turning a full circle for the steel industry's 17 years after the sector was decontrolled. Realizing that Indian steel was one of the lowest cost steel and there is a surplus of about 2 million ton in the flat product capacity specially galvanized sheets, government has withdrawn the export tax on the flats. 

 
With prices so high and soaring further and cause for rise not completely explainable, there is always fear lurking that the down turn is round the corner. 

 
The prices of coking coal, iron ore, energy and scrap have rocketed to unprecedented high culminating in steel prices breaking the $1000/ton barrier. Is the industry still poised for sustained profitability, strengthened by industrial consolidation or is a turning point in the current super cycle to be expected led by over capacity and the subsequent fall in prices? 

 
 Segment-wise performance The Segments identified by the Company are as under :

 
1) Manufacturing Segment

2) Trading Segment 

 The Segmentwise performance in detail is given in Schedule 20 to the audited accounts of the Company. 

 

Out Look: 

 
The International Iron and Steel Institute (IISI) forecasts 2008 will still be another strong year for the steel industry with apparent steel use rising from 1,202 million metric tons (mmt) in 2007 to 1,282 mmt in 2008, an increase of 6.7%. New projections for 2009 suggest a global growth rate of 6.3%. 

 
 The underlying assumption behind this forecast is that although some weakening in the US and EU economies is expected, demand for steel will remain healthy, thanks in part to the emerging markets which will maintain their own dynamism. 

 
The BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries will again be leading the growth with an expected increase of 11.1% for 2008 and 10.3% for 2009. However as steel demand growth increases in other emerging countries, the large gap in growth rate - which they have come to expect in recent times - between ERIC countries and the rest of the world (ROW) will narrow.

 
 For India, forecasts for apparent steel use point to an increase of 8.9% in 2008 and 12.1% in 2009. 

 
 The outlook for Agro trade business also expected to be good keeping in view the fairly good monsoon.
