Bhushan Steel and Strips Limited was incorporated on 7th January 1983, under
the name of Jawahar Metal Industries Private Limited for the manufacture of
cold rolled steel strips and steel ingots at Sahibabad Industrial Area,
District Ghaziabad. The company was taken over by Brij Bhushan Singhal and his
sons Sanjay Singhal and Neeraj Singhal by acquiring the entire share capital of
the company. The company was renamed as Bhushan Steel and Strips (BSS) after
diversifying into wide-width cold-rolled (CR) steel strips in 1992 and the cold
rolling plant was also completed in the same year.
BSS came out with its first public issue in 1993 to finance its forward
integration project for the manufacture of 100000 tpa of continuous
annealed/galvanised steel strips. It tapped the capital market for the second
time in Apr.'95, to part-finance the setting up of facilities to manufacture an
additional 150000 tpa of CRCA and 40,000 tpa of GP/GC sheets.
The company commissioned galvanising plant in January 1994 with a capacity to
manufacture 120000 tonnes per annum of wide width cold rolled steel strips and
100000 tonnes per annum of galvanised sheets. In the same year 1994, the
company also proposed to set up an integrated steel plant for manufacture of
1.2 Million Tonnes per year of H R Coils at Daitari in the State of Orissa. The
company also engaged Metallurgical and Engineering Consultants Limited as
engineering consultants for setting up of the integrated plant.
In 1995, the company came out with a rights issue of 8250000 Unsecured Zero
Interest Convertible Debentures and also made a public issue of 6894800 - 14%
Unsecured Fully Convertible Debentures.
In 1998, the company proposed to setup two steel cold rolling and galvanising
units - one near Haldia and the other at Patalganga, near Mumbai. The company
also commissioned a cold rolled steel plant at Ghaziabad, in collaboration with
Sumitomo of Japan, to cater to the needs of the automotive sector
During 1999, the company also set up a dedicated service centre for large OEM
customers at Sahibabad.
The company approved amalgamation of Bhushan Limited with the company in 2000.
But later the proposal for amalgamation was withdrawn in 2003-2004.
During 2000-01, the company implemented the expansion project of 250000 tpa of
Cold Rolling Cum Galvanising and Tube Complex in Khopoli, Maharashtra at cost
of Rs. 4860 Million. During 2004-05, the status of the project is that this has
been fully commissioned and the company has also commissioned the Cold Rolled

INDUSTRY
STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS
The steel industry is dividend into primary and secondary
sectors. The primary sector produces billets, plates, rounds and Hot Rolled
Coils/Plates. These form raw materials for the secondary sector, which produces
value added items such as angles, channels, wire rod, cold rolled coils/sheets
and galvanised Coils/Sheets. CR Sheet is a thinner sheet used for consumer
durables (refrigerators, washing machines etc.), Automobiles, bicycles etc. CR
sheets are used by the automobile and domestic appliances industry whereas CR
strips are used in manufacturing of bicycles, drums, barrel, fabrication,
furniture etc. CR coils are mainly used for manufacturing GP/GC sheets. Bhushan
Steel Limited which so far falls under Secondary Sector, also entered in
Primary Sector with the setting up plant at Orissa.
All steel products are made from semi-finished steel that comes in the form of
slabs, billets and blooms. Steel products can be broadly classified into two
basic types according to their shape.
Flat Products
Derived from slabs, this category includes plates and Hot Rolled (HR) steel
such as coils/sheets. While plates are used for applications such as
shipbuilding, etc., HR steel is the most widely used variety of steel, and
other downstream flat products such as Cold Rolled (CR) steel and Galvanized
steel are made from it.
Long Products
These products derive their name from their shape. They are made by using
billets and blooms and include rods, bars, pipes, ropes and wires, which are
used largely by the housing/construction sector.
THE GLOBAL STEEL INDUSTRY
World crude steel production stood at 1.23 billion tons in 2006; an increase of
9.7% over 2005 production of 1.12 billion tons, and surpassing the historic 1
billion mark for the third consecutive year. Over the past ten years the most
remarkable growth has been in China and in the Asia region. Asia (Ex-Japan)
accounted for 53% of the World steel production in 2006. International Iron and
Steel Institute expects steel demand to grow at 7.3% in CY07 and then continue
to grow by 5.8% in CY 08.
The World steel industry has undergone some dramatic changes over the recent
past. After experiencing a sharp downturn in demand starting in 1998 and
resulting in historically low prices in the 3rd quarter of 2001, the 'Hot
Rolled Band' spot export prices indicative of the level of world steel prices -
peaked at US$625 per ton in late fall 2004 compared with an all-time low of
US$175 per ton in late 2001. Thereafter it has come down and has been ruling
around a level of US$ 535. Domestic prices of flat steel are around INR 25,000
- 27,000 per tonne and are expected to be in the range of INR 28,000-30,000
during 2007-08. Domestic prices have shown strong correlation with the
international flat steel prices.
INDIAN
STEEL INDUSTRY
India derives its competitive advantage in steel making from the availability
of abundant quality reserves of iron ore with estimated reserves of 17.33
billion MT, a fast growing domestic market driven by infrastructure,
construction, automotive and consumer goods sectors as well as a highly skilled
and low cost workforce. Coal is also available but reserves, while abundant,
have high ash content tempering the iron ore advantage somewhat.
Indian steel industry is at an inflexion point and promises to become a key
player on the World stage, both as a producer and a consumer. Usually, for
emerging economies like India, demand for steel consumption grows at about 1.3
times of GDP growth rate. This means, that if the economy is to grow by an
average of 9% p.a., demand for steel would grow at over 11% p.a. The Government
has approved the National Steel Policy (NSP) 2005 whose long-term goal is to
ensure that India has a modern and efficient steel industry, capable of
standing up to international competition and catering to the growing domestic
demand for steel. This in turn has led to sustained growth in the steel
sector.
Orissa
Advantage
Dominating investments in steel and iron-ore mining is in
the state of Orissa. The state is endowed with large reserves of iron ore
(estimated 4.18 billion MT) and convenient access to the sea through the port
of Paradeep. Orissa has signed around 45 memorandums of understanding (MoUs)
for setting up steel capacities aggregating 60 million tonnes within the next
few years.
Recovery Of Domestic Sector
India's steel industry has seen a recovery over the last three
years on the back of an upturn in the global and domestic steel cycle. Higher
prices helped to improve realizations while restructuring of their original
high-cost debt reduced interest costs. Most of the big steel producers are
currently tapping export markets helped in a large measure by process
improvements and quality upgrades. All things considered, the sector is now on
a much firmer footing than it has ever been.
Capacity Expansion
Realizing the advantages stated
above, a large number of steel makers have started modernizing and/or expanding
their plants while others have announced new capital spending in Greenfield
projects. In the long product segment, along with aggressive plans announced by
integrated players like RINL, a number of small and medium-sized companies are
setting up new capacities. Capacities to the tune of 7-8 Million Tonnes are
expected to come up by FY09-10, including additional steel making capacity of
around 2.5-3 Million Tonnes by the end of 2006-07.
With respect to flats, an additional steel making capacity of 5.5-7 Million
Tonnes may come on stream over the next 4-5 years subject to favourable market
conditions and availability of finance. This projected growth does not take
into account big Greenfield projects announced for implementation in Orissa
most of which are unlikely to come on stream before 2010. Bhushan Steel expects
to have a first mover advantage in this regard, as its plant is scheduled for
completion by FY 09 itself.
Iron Ore
India has large recoverable reserves of iron ore - estimated
by the Indian Bureau of Mines at about 17.33 billion tons and enough for over
125 years at current rates of consumption - available at a cost that is among
the lowest in the World. The total recoverable reserves comprise almost 14
billion tons of hematite-50% of which is medium-to-high-grade with iron content
over 62% - and 3.33 billion tons of magnetite respectively. The hematite
reserves are located largely in Eastern/Central India - Jharkhand, Orissa and
Chhattisgarh.
KEY
SUCCESS FACTORS
Ensuring
access to raw materials at low costs
The steel industry in India is a
fragmented one, resulting in players having very little say in end prices.
Hence the key to success is keeping costs as low as possible. The cost in a steel
company is determined by factors such as technology, manufacturing route,
operational integration and operating efficiency as measured by operating
parameters.
Extent of forward integration
The extent of forward integration is also critical in deciding the
competitiveness of steel companies. The realizations of value-added products
are higher and more stable than base grades. The cost of adding value is
generally lower than that of base grades, resulting in better margins for
integrated players.
Economies of scale
With pressured operating profitability, players with economies of scale are
likely to benefit by lower cost burdens from lowered fixed cost per
tonne.
The following paragraphs provide a brief review of some of the key drivers for
increased steel demand as well as the main steel applications in the
construction, pipe and tube, automotive and consumer durables sectors.
Automobiles
The sector is benefiting from rising income levels and cheaper consumer
finance. Moreover, it would benefit from more spending on road development
projects. Hot rolled flats are used in automobiles, as chassis, bumpers and
clutch covers. In general, steel constitutes 60% of the weight of a car body.
Cold rolled coils and sheets are used to manufacture auto bodies (for
commercial vehicles, cars, tractors, two and three wheelers), and auto
components (such as clutch assembly, bearings and horns). Coated sheets are
also used in the manufacturing of auto bodies.
Over the next five years, sales (domestic as well as exports) of passenger
vehicles, main user segment of auto market for flats - are expected to grow at
a compound rate of 14% to just under 2.5 million vehicles while the commercial
vehicle market is projected to grow at a lower 4-5% rate to just under 0.7
million. The two-wheeler market is expected to have unit sales of around 10
million by 2010. As a result, this sector alone is expected to generate
substantial demand for flat steel products over the next 5 years.
Consumer Durables
Consumption of consumer durables has increased due to higher consumer spending,
following the liberalization of the economy in 1991 and the arrival of many
foreign players in the domestic market. Prices of most consumer durables have
become competitive due to more competition among players. Competitive pricing,
easy availability of consumer finance and increased demand from the rural
sector have resulted in a significant increase in the penetration level of
white goods and other consumer durables. This has also led to robust demand
conditions, with five-year demand projections for various segments of the
consumer durables marketplace ranging between 5%-20%. As this consumer durables
sector is a major end-use sector for cold rolled flats-with white goods (the outer
panel of most white goods is made of cold rolled or galvanized sheets) and
furniture accounting for around 11% of total consumption, demand in the flat
steel segment is also likely to be driven by the underlying growth in this
sector.
Construction
Long products are used extensively in the construction sector, which consumes
over 10 million tons of steel annually, and is projected to grow at around 20%
for the next five-year period. This sector is benefiting from rising incomes
and increased availability of housing finance. There is also a surge in
infrastructure and housing due to population growth and urbanization - and
retail development, such as shopping malls and multiplexes.
Flat products are also used in the construction sector. Hot rolled steel coils
and sheets are used in structural materials and welded pipes. Cold rolled
sheets and coils are used in press formed components, which in turn are used in
construction, for making tanks and containers. Galvanized sheets are largely
used in roofing, slide cladding, making water tanks and as fencing
material.
However, as compared with international norms, the construction industry in
India is not steel-intensive. The steel to cement consumption ratio is 1.1 in
developed countries, as compared with 0.31 in India. There is substantial
potential for an increase in the consumption of steel in the construction
industry, due to the low steel consumption ratio and benefits of steel (long
products), such as superior quality and durability. Further impetus has been
provided by the Government due to its thrust on building road networks.
Pipes
and Tubes
Flat steel demand is likely to get a significant pull from the piping sector
due to an increased emphasis on gas, irrigation and water supply projects. Currently,
the country has around 6,300 km of pipeline in place. It is estimated that the
pipeline network will more than double in the next 5-7 years, and around 4,000
- 7,000 km of pipeline network will be completed by 2010.
The India Advantage
The robust performance of the Indian economy continued during the second
quarter (July-September) of 2006-07. According to the Central Statistical
Organisation (CSO), real gross domestic product (GDP) growth accelerated to 9.2
per cent in the second quarter from 8.9 per cent in the preceding quarter and
8.4 per cent an year ago. Strong growth in industrial activity and services
sector contributed to higher overall growth in 2006-07. With both the first and
second quarters of 2006-07 recording higher growth over the corresponding
quarters of 2005-06, real GDP growth accelerated to 9.1 percent in the first
half of 2006-07 from 8.5 per cent an year ago.
In line with the Five-Year Plan's goals, as mentioned in the World Bank Group
Country Assistance Strategy, the Government has reiterated its commitment, as
the highest priority, to the development and expansion of infrastructure. The
Government has also committed itself to a massive expansion of social housing
in towns and cities, in particular, to meet the needs of slum dwellers. Between
2001-02 and 2011-12, spanning the 10th and 11th five-year plan periods, the
Government's forecast outlays on infrastructure (power, roads and bridges,
railways, ports, telecommunications, airports, water and gas supply and urban development)
are expected to be around US$300 billion. In addition, affordable housing and
consumer finance is readily available from local financial institutions and
this is expected to increase the demand for housing. Disbursements for housing
finance from banking and housing finance institutions are in the region of
about US$1 billion annually and growing at a CAGR of 30%. These enormous
housing/construction and infrastructure investments suggest that the demand for
steel products in the domestic market is expected to grow further.
PERFORMANCE
The Company is engaged in the Steel business, which in context of Accounting
Standard 17 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India is
considered the only business segment. The overall operational performance of
the Company has been much satisfactory during the year.
EARNING
OUTLOOK
The Company is primarily a converter of HR coil to value added products where
the final application is in auto and whitegoods industry. The company is now
enhancing its business profile from a converter to an integrated steel producer
by setting up an integrated steel plant in Orissa. The plant, once fully
commissioned, will produce 1.9mtpa of auto grade HR coil, which will be
internally consumed for further value added products at its existing
facilities. This will further strengthen the bottom line of the Company.
RISKS AND CONCERNS
Availability of Raw Material (HRC)
The availability and the cost of the raw material (HRC) is a key concern and the
company at present is exposed to the vulnerability of the market. As the
turnover of the company is growing year to year the availability of raw
materials may become a constraint. Thus it may be difficult for the company to
access raw materials ( HRC ) regularly as well as the cost of raw material is
also a key concern. In such a scenario, the integrated producers with HRC
manufacturing facility would be the clear gainers.
This risk however will be reduced with upcoming HRC plant at Orissa. The company
has already started production of part facilities at Orissa. Phase I of the
Orissa project which comprises of Billets and Sponge Iron have already been
started and Phase II which comprises of HR mill will start in FY09.
Orissa Project Execution
Orissa Project will be the company's first HRC project thereby exposing it to
implementation and execution risks. The project is critical as it will assure
easy availability of key raw material and lower input costs.
These risks are however mitigated with the appointment of well established
consultants and suppliers for providing technical assistance and equipments for
the project. The company has a past record in completing the projects on time.
The phase-I of the project which comprises of production of Billets and Sponge
Iron have already started and the phase II is also running as per
schedule.
