HISTORY

 

Subject is one of the integrated steel makers and the largest private sector producer of hot rolled coils in India. Incorporated in the year 1984 by founding chairman M. L. Mittal, A corporate powerhouse with operations in iron, steel, mining, energy and infrastructure. The company's core competency is the production of high quality steel, for which it employs cutting edge technologies and stringent quality standards. It produces world-class sponge iron, galvanised sheets and cold rolled coils, in addition to hot rolled coils, through its two state-of-the art integrated steel plants, located at Dolvi and Kalmeshwar in the state of Maharashtra. To better provide steel solutions to an increasingly sophisticated marketplace, subject had sets up a highly advanced cold rolling reversing mill during the year 1988, in collaboration with Hitachi of Japan, to manufacture a wide range of cold rolled carbon steel strips. In the same year, the company installed a colour coating line, the first of its kind in India for the manufacture of pre-painted colour steel sheets. During the year 1994, Business interests within the Ispat Group are demarcated. The eldest son, Mr. L N Mittal continues to manage the international operations while Mr. Pramod Mittal and Mr. Vinod Mittal, the younger brothers focused on steel and other businesses in India. In the identical year 1994, it commissioned the world's largest gas-based single mega module plant for manufacturing direct reduced iron (sponge iron), at its Maharashtra-based Dolvi plant. Within three months, the plant exceeds its capacity of 1 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of high quality DRI. The company came out with a Euro-issue of 125-mln fully convertible bonds in 1994 to part-finance the expansion of its hot strip mill (HSM) capacity to 2.50 lac TPA. During the year 1995, A 1.5 MTPA hot strip mill with Continuous Strip Processing (CSP) technology was installed at Dolvi. A mechanised multi-functional jetty situated close to the plant facilitates the automation of raw material handling. A world-class integrated steel plant for the production of hot rolled coils was launched in the year 1998, armed with cutting edge technologies, such as the Conarc Process for steel making and the Compact Strip Process, both introduced for the first time in Asia. The year 2000 was new millennium to the company, witnessed to the erection and commissioned a 2 MTPA blast furnace at the Dolvi steel complex in record time. During the year 2003, the company's Blast Furnace was commissioned and the Sponge iron capacity was increased from 1.2 mtpa to 1.4 mtpa. The Hot rolled coil steel-making capacity increased from 1.5 mtpa to 2.4 mtpa in the year 2004 and also the Sponge iron capacity increased from 1.4 mtpa to 1.6 mtpa in during the same period. Ispat Metallics India Limited  (IMIL) was merged with subject  with effect from 1st April of the year 2004 in the ratio of 1:1. Oxygen Plant of the company with daily capacity of 1260 Tons has been commissioned in December 2005. Plant Operations have since stabilized, consequently, no dependence on external sources for oxygen supply and also Sinter Plant of the annual capacity of 2.24 Million Tons per annum has been commissioned in December of the year 2005. The Company received the Golden Peacock Environment Management Award, 2006, awarded by Institute of Directors. During the year 2006-07, The Company entered into the separate Memoranda of Understanding with the respective State Governments, such as Government of Maharashtra for expansion in steel-making capacity at Dolvi Steel Complex to 5 Million Tons annually and with Government of Chattisgarh for setting-up a coal-based power plant of the capacity of 1200 MW. In January of the year 2007, the company signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Jharkhand government for setting up an initial production of 2.8 million tonne, to be scaled up to five million tonne in phases. The cost of the integrated steel plant, which would come up at Manoharpur in West Singhbhum district, was estimated to be Rs.67500 millions. Ispat Industries has decided to offload around 25% stake in its wholly owned subsidiary, Ispat Energy, to private equity funds to raise around Rs.8000 millions during January of the year 2008. The Company aims to consolidate its market leadership in the national specialty steel market by capitalising on the proximity of its manufacturing facilities to major consumers of flat steel products in Maharashtra, while increasing its presence in international markets by using its convenient port location. In the short span of time since its inception, Ispat Industries has steadily raised the bar - in terms of its relentless pursuit of technological advancement, unwavering focus on innovation, strident emphasis on quality products and its constant initiatives aimed at ensuring customer satisfaction.

 

FINANCIAL RESULTS:

 

Income from operations during the fifteen-month period was Rs.109831.400 millions and profit before interest, finance charges and depreciation was Rs.17229.400 millions. After providing for interest and finance charges of Rs.12854.500 millions, profit before depreciation was Rs.4374.900 millions. After providing for depreciation of Rs.7739.500 millions, loss before tax provisions was Rs.3364.600 millions for the period.

After considering deferred tax credit of Rs.141.500 millions and providing for wealth tax Rs.0.300 millions, net loss during the period was Rs.3223.400 millions. Considering Debenture Redemption Reserve written back Rs.202.600 millions and accumulated losses of Rs.18321.500 millions brought forward from the previous year, the accumulated losses as at 30.06.2010 was Rs.21342.300 millions. The losses are proposed to be carried to next year’s accounts.

 

FINANCIAL YEAR

 

The financial year of the Company has been extended by a period of 3 (three) months upto 30.06.2010. Accordingly, the Company’s financial year 2009-10 is for a period of 15 (fifteen) months, 01.04.2009 to 30.06.2010.

 

OPERATIONS

 

The deep economic recession had resulted in a negative global GDP during the year 2009. World economy has since regained certain stability and modest growth rates are being witnessed in the economies of developed countries. On the other hand, countries in the developing world have, however, registered relatively high levels of economic growth and robust domestic markets.

 

Global steel industry had witnessed an unprecedented dip in demand and sharp decline in prices during the period of economic meltdown. Global steel production had declined by 8% during 2009 and consumption was lower by 6%, notwithstanding the visible rebound during second half of 2009. Backed by fiscal stimulus-led global economic recovery, steel industry has since demonstrated visible signs of demand pick-up and price stabilization during the last quarter of year 2009. The current year, so far, has seen a marked increase in domestic steel demand led by impressive growth in vital end-user segments, such as, automobile and consumer goods. While developed economies had faced slow economic recovery, China and India registered impressive GDP growth. Steel production in India grew by 4% and consumption had risen by 8%. The growth in consumption led to higher import of steel products into India. High level of cheap imports has since led to an inevitable fall in domestic prices of steel products, with consequential impact on financials of major steel makers.

 

During the period, the Company sought to consolidate its efforts towards optimizing productivity and innovating its product basket. Production of Hot Rolled Coils at 3.31 Million MTs was higher by 24% compared to the previous financial year, on an annualized basis. Capacity utilization was over 80% of the enhanced annual capacity of 3.3 Million MTs. Production of Direct Reduced Iron (Sponge Iron) at 1.68 Million MTs was higher by 23% over the previous financial year, on an annualized basis. Efforts undertaken by the Company towards securing additional supplies of Natural Gas had resulted in improved production of Direct Reduced Iron during the year.

 

Production of Hot Metal was higher at 2.13 Million MTs. Up gradation of Blast Furnace during 2009 has resulted in significant improvement in process efficiencies and new benchmarks are being set on all production parameters. Production of Cold Rolled Steel Coils/Sheets and Galvanized Coils/Sheets had registered increase at 0.31 Million MTs and 0.20 Million MTs, respectively. In its endeavour to continually offer superior products, the Company has added Galvalume, a premium metallic-coated steel product, to its product-basket. Galvaume finds extensive application in corrosion and temperature resistance. Production of Galvalume Coils/Sheets has been streamlined during the period. Production of Tubes and Pipes had also stabilized during the period. Production of PVC coated sheets during the period was at 101% of installed capacity. Sales of Hot Rolled Coils at 2.88 Million MTs was higher by 19%, compared to previous year, on an annualized basis. Sales of Cold Rolled Steel Coils/Sheets was higher by 11%, whereas sales of Galvanized Coils/Sheets was lower by 7%, compared to previous year, on an annualized basis. Sales of Tubes and Pipes was commensurate with production achieved during the period.

 

During the period, prices of basic inputs, namely, iron ore, coke and pellets had increased substantially. Simultaneously, prices of utilities, such as, natural gas and energy, had also gone up. This had resulted in lower margins with consequential impact on the Company’s financial results.

 

 

EXPORTS: 

 

Export earnings during the period was Rs.4334.400 Millions. Exports were lower during the period due to slack demand conditions in the US, European Union and Latin American zones. Sharp fall in export realizations, owing to depressed demand conditions, had impacted the Company’s export earnings.

 

 

PROJECTS:

 

The coke oven project of the annual capacity of 1 Million MTs, undertaken in joint venture, has been appraised at a cost of Rs.11240.000 Millions. Debt component of the project is expected to be tied-up shortly. The project is expected to be commissioned within a period of 24 months from achievement of financial closure. Initial development activities have already commenced in the proposed iron ore pellet project of 2 Million MTs. The Company has, simultaneously, entered into long-term supply contract with a major producer of iron ore pellets, so as to effectively secure its input requirements. The Company has obtained a prospective license for mining of iron ore in Damkodwadvi area of Bhamragarh in the state of Maharashtra. Prospecting activities have since been completed and it is estimated that the mines would have reserves of 101 Million Tons of high-quality iron ore. Various Government approvals are being obtained. The prospecting report has already been filed with the Mining Department of Government of Maharashtra for conversion of the license into a regular mining lease. Project activities had slowed due to certain anti-national insurgent activities in the area. However, efforts are being made for development of the mine by end-2011.

 

Initial activities have also been undertaken by the respective Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries in the proposed iron ore and coal mining projects overseas. The Company had entered into separate Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with the respective Governments of Jharkhand and Chattisgarh for setting-up an integral steel plant (annual capacity of 2.8 Million MTs) and coal-based thermal power plant (annual combined capacity of 1200 MW). Site selection activities are in the progress for the integrated steel plant proposed in the state of Jharkhand. The state government has been approached to allocate alternate iron ore mines, commensurate with the size of the project. Progress in implementation of the coal-based thermal power plant in the state of Chattisgarh has slowed down due to delays in grant of coal linkage by the government.

 

 

CAPTIVE POWER PLANT OF ISPAT ENERGY LIMITED:

 

Due to certain unforeseen delays in achieving financial closure, the schedule for implementation of the 110 MW Power Plant by Ispat Energy Limited, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, has been further delayed. The project, proposed to be implemented in two separate phases of 55 MW each, is now scheduled to be commissioned during early 2012. The cost of the project is estimated at Rs.4910.000 Millions. Financial closure of the project is expected to be achieved shortly.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: 

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS: 

 

Global Steel Industry

 

After two years of deep economic recession, signs of economic stability are now visible in the developed world. Though growth rates in the economies of developed world are still moderate, countries in the developing region, in contrast, have been registering high GDP growth. IMF estimates a positive economic trend in 2010 and the global economy to register a sharp 4% growth. The WTO also projects world trade to expand by 9%, with the developed regions growing by nearly 8% and the emerging regions by over 11%. Following the world-wide economic crisis, the steel industry had demonstrated visible signs of demand pick-up and price stabilization during the last quarter of 2009. However, as a result of the deep recession through most of the year, global crude steel production had dipped by 8% during 2009 in comparison to the previous year. Major steel producing countries, such as, USA, Germany, Russia, Japan and South Korea had witnessed drop in production ranging from 25% to 36%. In contrast, however, crude steel production in China and India had grown by around 13% and 3% respectively. The global downturn of 2009 and the subsequent recovery have accentuated the importance of China and India to the world steel industry.

 

Due to the widespread economic recession, global steel consumption had declined by nearly 7% during 2009, in comparison to the previous year. Finished steel consumption during 2009 was 1121 Million Tons. Steel consumption in China and India grew by around 24% and 8% respectively, while other major steel producing nations had registered significantly lower consumption. Since May, 2010, however, global steel-demand has stagnated and prices are under heavy pressure. The slow recovery of US and European economies had a dampening impact on overall steel consumption.

 


Indian Steel Scenario:

 

Latest projections of steel consumption by World Steel Association peg finished steel consumption in India to reach 71 Million Tons by 2011. Several major world steel companies are planning tie-up with Indian counterparts to produce value-added steel products in India. The first six months of 2010 has seen a marked increase in steel demand due to strong growth in key user sectors, such as, automobile, infrastructure, consumer goods etc. Owing to the glut in overseas steel demand, there has been a significant increase in dumping of cheap steel into India, much to the detriment of the domestic steel industry. Imports of both flat products as well as long products has increased substantially. Various brownfield and greenfield expansion programmes have been announced, keeping in mind the current consumption pattern as well as the projected demand growth. Domestic steel demand is expected to be robust and grow by 12% annually. Capacity additions continue to be undertaken by Indian steel majors and it is estimated that steel-making capacity would increase by 20% during 2010-11. However, no large greenfield steel project has been able to take-off, due to a stringent regulatory environment in terms of land acquisition, forest clearances, grant of mining leases etc. Poor infrastructure facilities also tend to increase overall costs, with an avoidable impact on the finances of the steel industry.

 

 

PRODUCT / SEGMENT PERFORMANCE: 

 

Production of Hot Rolled Coils at 3.31 Million MTs was higher by 24% compared to the previous financial year, on an annualized basis. Capacity utilization was over 80% of the enhanced annual capacity of 3.3 Million MTs. Production of Direct Reduced Iron (Sponge Iron) at 1.68 Million MTs was higher by 23% over the previous financial year, on an annualized basis. Securing additional supplies of Natural Gas had resulted in improved production of Direct Reduced Iron during the period. Production of Hot Metal was higher at 2.13 Million MTs. The upgradation of Blast Furnace during 2009 had resulted in significant improvement in process efficiencies. Production of Cold Rolled Steel Coils/Sheets and Galvanized Coils/Sheets had registered increase at 0.31 Million MTs and 0.20 Million MTs, respectively. In its endeavour to continually offer superior products, the Company has added Galvalume, a premium metallic-coated steel product, to its product-basket. Galvaume finds extensive application in corrosion and temperature resistance. Production of Galvalume Coils/Sheets has been streamlined during the period.

PROFILE:

 

Subject is one of the integrated steel makers and the largest private sector producer of hot rolled coils in India. Set up as Nippon Denro Ispat Limited in May 1984 by founding chairman Mr M L Mittal, subject has steadily grown into a Rs.94000 millions company, assuming its position as flagship of the reputed Ispat Group. A corporate powerhouse with operations in iron, steel, mining, energy and infrastructure, the Group today figures among the top 20 business houses in the country.

 

Headquartered at Mumbai, subject employs a total of 3000 people and is the leader in the national speciality steel market. The company's core competency is the production of high quality steel, for which it employs cutting edge technologies and stringent quality standards. It produces world-class sponge iron, galvanized sheets and cold rolled coils, in addition to hot rolled coils, through its two state-of-the art integrated steel plants, located at Dolvi and Kalmeshwar in the state of Maharashtra.


The sprawling 1,200 acres Dolvi complex houses the 3 million tonne per annum hot rolled coils plant, that combines the latest technologies - the Conarc process for steel making and the compact strip process (CSP) - introduced for the first time in Asia.


The complex also has a 1.6 million tonne per annum sponge iron (DRI) plant, which was commissioned in 1994 as the world's largest and most efficient gas-based single mega module plant. Moreover, the Dolvi complex is home to a 2 million tonne blast furnace and also boasts a mechanised multi-functional jetty situated nearby, that facilitates the automation of raw material handling. A new 2.24 million tonnes per annum sinter plant, a 1260 tonnes per day oxygen and a new electric arc furnace have also been commissioned at subject Dolvi.


Ispat is the only steel maker in India and among a few in the world to have total flexibility in choice of steel making route, be it the conventional blast furnace route or the electric arc furnace route. Its dual technology allows Ispat the freedom to choose its raw material feed, be it pig iron, sponge iron, iron ore, scrap or any combination of various feeds. It also has total flexibility in choosing its energy source, be it electricity, coal or gas.


The Kalmeshwar complex houses Ispat's 0.4 million tonnes cold rolling complex, which also includes the galvanized plain/ galvanized corrugated (GP/GC) lines and India's first colour coating mill.


Technology and innovation have always been the cornerstones of subject's quest for excellence and these state-of-the-art plants facilitate the company's mission to attain and sustain market leadership, through technological and product superiority.


The company's strengths lie in its integrated process management, knowledge management and control systems. And its seamless supply chain management systems further the efficient use of raw materials, while its staff of highly skilled engineers, technicians and managers with specialised domain knowledge, ensure the choice of the relevant technology and the ability to produce international quality products at a competitive price.


In line with its vision for the future, subject is expanding its HRC capacity to 3.6 million. Moreover, it aims to complete its vertical integration process, increase the proportion of high-grade and value-added steel products in its product mix and leverage the advantage the modern design and the size of the facilities offers.


With investments of over US $2 billion, subject is the seventh largest Indian private sector company in terms of fixed assets. It aims to consolidate its market leadership in the national specialty steel market by capitalizing on the proximity of its manufacturing facilities to major consumers of flat steel products in Maharashtra, while increasing its presence in international markets by using its convenient port location.



In the short span of time since its inception, Ispat Industries has steadily raised the bar - in terms of its relentless pursuit of technological advancement, unwavering focus on innovation, strident emphasis on quality products and its constant initiatives aimed at ensuring customer satisfaction. As it rapidly forges ahead on all these fronts, subject has successfully reinforced its position as market leader, while simultaneously making technological breakthroughs and setting even higher standards for itself.

 

Milestones

 

Since its inception, the Ispat Group has been moving from strength to strength, consistently breaking new grounds and spearheading new developments in iron and steel. Ispat Industries, the flagship of the Ispat Group, has taken expansive technological strides to emerge as one of India’s manufacturers of quality steel products. In the process, the company and its parent Group have achieved many firsts in the steel sector and swept past a host of memorable milestones.

Mr. M L Mittal, the founder chairman of the Ispat Group, begins his foray into the iron and steel business with the takeover of an ailing rolling mill in Calcutta, India. The plant is turned around and later sold off.

 

1953

A combination of technological vision and management leads Mr. M L Mittal to experiment with an electric arc furnace at a steel plant in Vizag, India. Spotting emerging trends in steel-making technology, he establishes nine such greenfield plants in India. Soon, he acquires the necessary licence and takes over TOR Steel.

 

1974

Mr. M L Mittal enters the international steel arena by setting up PT Ispat Indo in Indonesia. He christens his steel-making Group as ‘The Ispat Group’. In the Hindi language, ispat means steel.

 

1980

This decade witnesses a series of acquisitions around the world and hectic expansion in India. The Ispat Group takes over the Iron and  Steel Company of Trinidad and Tobago, Sidemgical Del Balsar SA, Mexico, and additional units in Canada, Germany and Ireland. In India, the Group sets up the first thin gauge galvanized sheet unit, a specialty mini-mill to make rails and structurals - Ispat Profiles, and a cold rolling complex at Nagpur.

 

1984

Nippon Denro Ispat Limited was incorporated in 1984 and was granted the first Industrial License by Government of India for manufacturing Galvanised Plain/Corrugated Sheets.

 

1985

Nippon Denro Ispat Limited, now known as Ispat Industries (IIL), is established and it rapidly emerges as the largest manufacturer of galvanised steel products in the private sector.

 

1988

To better provide steel solutions to an increasingly sophisticated marketplace, Subject sets up a highly advanced cold rolling reversing mill, in collaboration with Hitachi of Japan, to manufacture a wide range of cold rolled carbon steel strips.

Press Release:

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE I December 21, 2010

 

JSW ISPAT STRIKE LANDMARK STRATEGIC ALLIANCE

 

Consolidation is very rarely witnessed among Indian Corporate Houses. However, JSW Steel and Ispat Industries Ltd are writing a new chapter in the book of Indian corporate history. JSW Steel will acquire a controlling stake in Ispat Industries Ltd. The deal that has an enterprise value of around US $3 billion will make JSW India’s largest steel producer with a combined capacity of 14.3 mtpa by March 2011. This monumental deal was announced today at a joint press conference held by Mr Sajjan Jindal and Mr Vinod Mittal.

 

ROBUST FUTURE FOR STEEL:

 

High rates of growth to the tune of 9% per annum, compounded with huge infrastructure investments, have ensured that the demand for steel will remain robust in the near future. JSW Steel is therefore continuously on the lookout for both organic and inorganic growth opportunities. The collaboration with Ispat Industries fits in very well with JSW’s bullish outlook on the emerging steel scenario.

 

ISPAT’s UNIQUE FEATURES:

 

Ispat Industries, with a production capacity of 3.3 mtpa, is inherently seen as a pioneering company that brought new technologies into India, viz, Twin Shell ConArc furnace and Thin Slab Casting facility. The Twin Shell ConArc furnace provides the steel making facility with a great amount of flexibility. Along with its state-of-the-art Compact Strip Mill, Ispat also has an in house jetty with a cargo handling capacity of 12 mtpa, giving it an added advantage. Further, Ispat’s mining concessions in India and overseas, along with the geographical location of its plants in the West of India, makes it all the more attractive.

 

STRATEGIC PLAN FOR PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT:

 

The current difficulties of Ispat Industries emanate from a financial imbalance and lack of integration in key inputs of coke, pellet and power. JSW’s infusion of equity removes this financial stress, and the proposed linkages of key inputs will reduce the operating cost. By taking over the management of Ispat Industries, JSW will address these concerns, creating value for all Ispat stakeholders.

 

Ispat Industries will issue, on a preferential basis, 108.66 crores equity shares at Rs 19.85 per share for a consideration of Rs 2157 crores. In addition, JSW will make an open offer to the minority shareholders of Ispat Industries as per SEBI guidelines.

 

While JSW’s holding will be at 41.29% on completion of preferential allotment, with a scope to go up, based on the outcome of the open offer, the existing promoters will hold 26% on completion of transaction. Dilution of holding for both the parties will occur if there is a capital raising in the future. JSW will further refinance the entire outstanding debt of Ispat.

 

JSW will also put in a systematic plan to turnaround Ispat Industries by developing synergies in the competitive steel market. JSW Steel will facilitate the sourcing of key inputs like coke, pellet and power, which will bring down the cost of production substantially. JSW’s extensive pan India network will provide Ispat with better market penetration. By improving the levels of efficiency and by rationalising the sourcing of iron ore lumps and fines, JSW will reduce the cost of production.

 

Besides this, Ispat Industries will set up a captive coke oven plant, pellet plant and power plant, to achieve complete integration of steel making facilities, over a period of 36-48 months, in order to reduce cost of production. Along with this, various operational efficiency projects shall be taken up, with debottlenecking of existing facilities, for capacity enhancement from 3.3 mtpa to 4.2 mtpa.

 

Ispat Industries will be renamed JSW Ispat Steel Ltd. Mr. Sajjan Jindal will be the Non Executive Chairman of the Company. Mr. Vinod Mittal will be Executive Vice Chairman of the Company during the transition period, and subsequently function as a Non-Executive Vice Chairman.
