HISTORY

 

Subject was incorporated on 15th March 1994 at Bellary in Karnataka having Company Registration Number 15365.

 

Subject was promoted by Jindal Iron and Steel Company (JISCO) and its associated companies of the Jindal Group, together with the Karnataka State Industrial Investment and Development Corporation (KSIIDC), has set up an integrated steel plant to manufacture 1.65 mtpa of hot-rolled coils at Torangallu (Ballary), Karnataka (estimated cost Rs.33000.000 millions), which includes a pellet plant at an estimated cost of Rs.3000.000 millions.

 

The company will use the Corex-BOF (basic oxygen furnance) process developed by Voest Alpine, Austia, for this mega project. The project was part financed by the proceeds of the successful Rs.12250 millions equity-cum-debenture issues in February, 1995.

 

In 1994-95, a joint venture company – Jindal Tracteble Power Company, was established for supply of power, in collaboration with Tractebel, Belgium, Another joint venture company Jindal Praxair Oxygen Company (Private) Limited was established in 1995-96, in collaboration with Praxair, USA, for setting up oxygen plants.

 

1999-2000, it completed the Corex-01, BOF-01 ontinous Slab Claster – 01 and Lime Calcination plant. The pelletisation plant and Corex-02 is under implementation and is expected to be completed by the end of 2000.

 

It has entered into a technical collaboration with Voest Alpine, for technical details with respect to productivity etc. 

 

It has also entered into joint venture agreements for power supply, oxygen plant and mining.

 

The total hot rolled coils produced in 2000-01 was 788336 tonnes and the company made full effort to complete the balance project viz. Pelletisation plant, Corex-02 and continuous casting plant-02 in the same year. The re-circulation system for the SGP, extension of the coil yard of HM and CTL bays, gasholder of 100000-m3 capacity was the projects completed in 2001-02.

 

 

 

FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

The fiscal year would be marked as an important year for the domestic steel industry. When the year began, the Indian economy, invalidating the theory of coupling, started showing signs of growth, amidst the global slowdown that was still prevailing, however, during the course of FY 2009-10, the export dependency on the advanced world declined substantially, driven by stimulated domestic demand.

 

The Company took various strategic initiatives to improve its volumes and profitability, which helped the Company to post an impressive performance for the year.

 

The 2.8 MTPA Crude Steel Expansion Project at Vijayanagar Works commenced commercial production on 10th April 2009 enhancing the Crude Steel manufacturing capacity to 6.8 MTPA and scaling up the overall steel manufacturing capacity of the Company to 7.8 MTPA. With the completion of this expansion project, the Company has scaled new heights as a leading player in the steel industry in the country. The Expansion facilities stabilized quickly and achieved hot metal production of 2.2 Million tonnes during the current year, which worked out to around 78% of the Installed capacity.

 

Consequently, the Company achieved a significant volume growth of 61% in crude steel production and 67% in saleable steel during the current year, compared to that of last year, despite disruptions in the plant operations at Vijayanagar Works due to unprecedented and incessant rains followed by floods in southern part of India in October 2009. The Company achieved normal operations by December 2009 and during the current Financial Year 2009-10, it had achieved crude steel production of 5.987 Million tonnes (the overall production was 6.02 Million tonnes, considering trial run production from the expansion project) and saleable steel of 5.720 Million tonnes (the overall sales was 5.74 Million tonnes, considering trial run sales), which works out to around 94% of volume guidance of 6.4 Million tonnes and 6.1 Million tonnes, respectively for the fiscal year. The operational performance could have been much better if the normalcy was there during October and November 2009.

 

The production of Rolled Products, both Long and Flat (including Value Added Flat), went up significantly compared to last fiscal. HR Coil production has reached highest levels at 3.399 Million tones during the year, which is around 106% of enhanced rated capacity of 3.2 Million tonnes. The HR Coil production is expected to go up further, on stabilization of the state-of-the-art new Hot Strip Mill, commissioned at Vijayanagar Works in March 2010.

 

The domestic sales volume continued to show rising trend, constituting 84% of the total sales for current year as against 72% in the last year, in line with Company’s strategy of increased focus in the domestic markets. The number of JSW Shoppe outlets went up to 174 and the Retail sales for the current fiscal, through JSW Shoppe, accounted for 16% of domestic sales, excluding semis.

 

The various cost reduction initiatives taken by the Company, such as, increased coal injection in blast furnace, lower usage of fluxes, higher captive power generation, increase in utilization of Corex Gas, usage of Coke Oven Gas from Recovery Type Coke Ovens, etc., along with lower input costs led to reduction in cost of production.

 

The Gross Turnover and Net Turnover for the year stood at Rs.19,4566.400 Millions and Rs.18,2024.800 Millions, respectively, showing a growth of 28% and 30% over the previous year mainly driven by growth in volumes, in spite of drop in blended sales realizations by 21%, relative to that of previous fiscal year.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

1] GLOBAL ECONOMY

 

The year 2009 witnessed the turbulence pain and panic from the unprecedented Economic and Financial Crisis adversely impacting the Global Economic growth. As per the IMF’s April-10 estimates, Global Economic growth in 2009 is estimated to contract by approx. 0.6%. China as well as India cushioned the intensity of Global meltdown during 2009 as demonstrated hereunder.

 

• Global Economy as per the IMF estimates of April10 contracted by approx. US$ 3.3 trillion while Chinese and Indian Economy expanded by 8.7% & 7.2% respectively.

 

• Real Global Trade decelerated by 10.7% with Merchandize Exports down in value-terms by approx. 23% to $ 12,147 Billion and Services by 13% to $ 3,312 Billion while China graduated from the 2nd rank to the highest global merchandize exporter at US$ 1,201 Billion in 2009.

 

• Global automobile production contracted by approx. 15% to 60 Million units while China qualified as the World’s largest Producer at 13.6 Million units with highest ever domestic sale of Passenger cars of 10.3 Million units up by 52.9%. Similarly, Indian Passenger Vehicle production and domestic sales rose by 28% and 26% respectively in FY 2009-10.

 

The timely, cumulative stimulated economic efforts of all Governments significantly curtailed the depth, span and intensity of the economic catastrophic spread – although the possibility of few noted and sovereign defaults continue to haunt the world in the near term.

 

The IMF estimates suggest a positive economic rebound in 2010 with the Global economy registering a 4.2% growth; Advanced economies and the Emerging world growing by 2.3% and 6.3% respectively. Further the WTO projects world trade to expand by 9.5% with the Advanced world growing by 7.5% and the Emerging world by 11%.

 

2] GLOBAL STEEL INDUSTRY

 

Steel being at the core of economic progress witnessed an unprecedented downturn in 2009. Advanced economies buckled under pressure of large inventories coupled with stand still demand; the rest of the world (excluding China and India) suffocated low domestic demand; their high degree of export dependency on the advanced world added to their woes. This reconfirmed the concept of increasing global integration and global trade coupling (except China and India).

 

CRUDE STEEL PRODUCTION

 

World crude steel production declined 8% from 1,329 million tonnes in 2008 to 1,223 million tonnes for the year of 2009. Steel production declined in nearly all the major steel producing countries and regions including the EU, North America, South America and the CIS in 2009. However, Asia, in particular China and India, and the Middle East showed positive growth in 2009. Asia produced 799 million tonnes of crude steel in 2009, an increase of 3.6% compared to 2008; its share of world steel production increased to 65% in 2009 from 58% in 2008.

 

STEEL CONSUMPTION

 

The global economic and financial crisis impacted steel consumption – consumption declined 6.7% from 1,202 mn tonnes in 2008 to 1,121 mn tones in 2009. Of the consumption, 50% was flats (largely consumption led demand) and 50% was long products (largely infrastructure driven demand). World consumption of finished steel excluding BRIC countries registered a decline of 26.8% in 2009. Steel consumption of BRIC countries grew 18% largely due to the massive consumption of steel from China to satiate stimulated domestic demand.

 

Global Steel Trade

 

The impact of the global crisis loomed large on global trade of steel which declined about 30% (estimated at 300 mn tonnes). This was largely due to the relatively high dependence of the emerging world on advanced world which collapsed under the pressure of the global meltdown. As a result, the export dependency on the advanced world declined substantially which was compensated by stimulated domestic demand in emerging economies especially China and India.

 

(3) CHINA – AN ECONOMIC POWER

 

China, the new Economic Power, played as global economic savior in 2009, preventing the world economy from expected decline. Aggressive fiscal and monetary stimulus in 2009 offset much of the impact of the global recession. After a relatively weak first quarter (January – March 2009), the economy accelerated to register a 8.7% growth in the GDP, strengthening its position as the world’s fastest growing economy. But this, when compared with the double-digit expansion during 2003-07 and the 9.6% growth in 2008, reflects the global meltdown effect on China.

 

In 2009, the Chinese economy was driven largely by public investment. The Chinese Government pumped in US$ 1.4 trillion as loan to the economy (to industry and individuals) against US$ 0.6 trillion in 2008 which facilitated infrastructure creation. Consequently, the fixed investment to GDP ratio grew 58% in 2009 against 49% in 2008, the highest in three decades. In line with the global meltdown, China reduced its dependence on exports, especially to advanced economies which were significantly affected than other geographies. Consequently, export dependency declined from 32% in 2008 to 24% in 2009; exports to advanced economies dropped to about 15% of total exports in 2009 against 24% in 2008; overall exports in value terms declined from US$ 1,428 billion in 2008 to around US$ 1,200 billion. Despite this drop, China dominated global trade and emerged as the world’s largest merchandise exporter, leveraging its cost competency against peer nations.

 

The focus on the domestic market was reflected in a number of statistics. Real incomes grew 9.8% in urban areas and 8.5% in rural areas. Further, government incentivized car purchase scheme accelerated automotive sales to 13.6 mn units (China emerged as the world’s largest car producer in 2009). Incentives by local governments accelerated housing demand (housing accounts for a lion’s share of the Chinese revenue), boosting land sale incomes by about 60% to US$233 billion in 2009.

 

Intelligent crisis management by the Chinese Government strengthened its brand as the preferred investment destination, owing to which, FDI into China declined only US$ 2 billion (from US$ 92 billion 2008 to US$ 90 billion 2009) compared with a 39% world-over decline and 47% collapse in advanced economies. Consequently, even in a gloomy global scenario, China’s forex reserves ballooned from US$ 1.95 trillion as on December 31, 2008 to US$ 2.45 trillion as on December 31, 2009.

 

CHINESE STEEL INDUSTRY

 

A large economy, building of world-class infrastructure with the advantage of cheap labour is driving economic growth further fuelling mega investments in China. The rapid growth in fixed asset investment in China catalyzed an unprecedented addition to steel capacities in the country. As a result, China dominates the global steel industry, accounting more than a third of the global steel capacity.

 

Chinese steel sector in 2009 – moving against the global tide China’s net addition to its installed capacity in 2009 was 39 MTPA taking its cumulative installed capacity to an estimated 716 MTPA; when more than 30% of world steel capacity remaining non-operational across the globe. Chinese steel manufacturers produced 568 mn tonnes of steel in 2009, an increase of 14% from the 500 mn tonnes in 2008, setting a new benchmark for annual crude steel production figure for a single country. As a result, China’s share of world steel production continued to grow in 2009 producing 46% of world total crude steel.

 

Domestic steel consumption grew 25% from 435 mn tonnes in 2008 to 542 mn tonnes in 2009 – due to sustained demand from the infrastructure, automotive and housing sectors. The increased domestic consumption resulted in a huge decline in steel exports – net exports declined from 45 mn tonnes in 2008 to 2.4 mn tonnes in 2009. China accounted for more than 48% of the global steel demand.

 

CHINA’S NEW STEEL POLICY

 

In China, steel is considered as a high polluting, resource and energy intensive sector but a moderately priced product. As a result, the Government plans to ban the exports of basic steel products. The New Steel Policy to be implemented by the Chinese Government is expected to incentivize exports of value-added products. The other features of the New Steel Policy include:

 

Intensify restructuring: The steel sector is expected to stick to market orientation, thus directing production when there is a demand. Besides expansion and green field projects are forbidden.

 

Strengthen elimination campaign: Guide the steel makers to eliminate obsolete capacity by law.

 

Standardize operation: Constituting a regulation to meet standard qualifications of operation. This is expected to decrease number of qualified steel makers; improve management efficiency and promote healthy growth of the steel sector.

 

Actively promote MandA: Create an environment conducive to MandA between steel makers voluntarily on fair and legal basis. Superior and competitive Enterprises with competitive strengths are encouraged to grow.

 

Increase effective steel supply: Rebar, anti-quake steel, new structural steel that can replace low-end steel products should be encouraged; and on the other, to strengthen awareness of the people to save materials and increase comprehensive use of steel products.

 

(4) INDIAN ECONOMY

 

India registered a strong come-back in 2009-10 displaying its ability to withstand extreme external adversities, which destabilized major economies. India recorded a GDP growth of 7.2% in 2009-10 against 6.7% in 2008-09. This was largely due to the timely economic stimulus fueling investment and consumption. The key drivers to India’s economic growth during the year 2009-10 were:

 

• Strong IIP Growth: 10.4%

• Core Infrastructure Industry Growth: 5.5%

• Automobile Production: 26%

 

Capitalizing on the high degree of domestic dependency, low credit leverage and debt exposure and the Government’s thrust on infrastructure creation are expected to accelerate the Indian economy in 2010-11 and beyond. Preliminary guidance by the Central Government for the economic growth in 2010-11 is estimated at 8.2% and 9% in 2011-12.

 

(5) INDIAN STEEL INDUSTRY

 

Indian steel industry stood out in the global steel industry due to its resilience during the downturn. While the steel production in the world dipped by 8% in 2009, it registered a growth of around 4% in this period.

 

This clearly demonstrates India’s strong domestic consumption story. Even though the real estate and housing sector showed marked decline during this period, the same was compensated by sustained growth in sectors like infrastructure, manufacturing and automobile. Government intervention in the form of fiscal stimulus helped to propel growth in the end user industry.

 

India is the 5th Largest producer of steel in the world and it was expected that it will become 2nd largest by 2015 on the back of the capacity addition. India is also the world’s largest producer of DRI with around 21 Mn tonnes of production during 2009-10.

 

India’s per capita steel consumption is 48 kg in F.Y. 2009-10 compared to the world average of 190 kg. Within the country the semi-urban and rural sector has significant growth opportunities due to its low per capita consumption as compared to urban area.

Outlook:

 

The domestic growth continues to be robust, driven by strong consumption lead growth on the back of good monsoon, while the global recovery continues to be tepid. The domestic consumption led growth is expected to increase the demand for power, even as capacity additions gather pace with the participation of private sector. With incremental generation capacities expected to come on stream, the outlook on availability of incremental domestic fuel is not encouraging, necessitating increased import of thermal coal. Long term fuel security is necessary to insulate against increase in the imported coal prices which may put pressure on the margins.

PRESS RELEASE

 

19.02.2011

STEEL PRICE VOLATILITY LED BY DEMAND AND COST PUSH

 

The global steel demand has seen a growth in excess of 13% in the year 2010.

 

The revival in the advanced economies and the consumption levels across all continents in the world is propelling the demand for steel worldwide.

The Indian manufacturing growth remains positive driven by the demand from key consumption sectors such as infrastructure, automotive, consumer goods and housing, to name a few.

The demand for steel in India has seen a robust growth in excess of 9-10% over the year 2009-10.

Rapid urbanization and spending on infrastructure within India is certain to drive steel demand and in the year 2011 – 12, it is estimated demand is likely to grow between 12– 14%.

The international market also has seen a steady rise in steel demand and prices, and the global supply of finished steel also remains well balanced.

 

The deluge in the Australian coal mines coupled with low supplies of iron ore from India is resulting in a price volatility pushing up input raw material prices and compelling the steel manufacturers to increase steel prices.

Going forward, due to this cost push of the input raw materials, steel prices are likely to see further increase in the coming months.
