MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

Business Review

 

Global economy started recovery in 2009 but the speed of recovery remained slow. The process of recovery will get consolidated during 2010 in which Emerging Market Economies (EMEs) including India will play a significant role. The World Trade Organisation is of the view that world trade will stage a strong recovery in 2010. However, the risks to the recovery could be large public debt in developed economies, high unemployment rates and weak financial systems. The improvement in global macroeconomic conditions is witnessed by the turnaround in India’s exports and the return of capital inflows.

 

Indian economy is on steady growth trajectory and recovery is getting more broad-based. Domestic output is expected to improve as the economy grows. There are better prospects for the Rabi crop and services and manufacturing sectors have also shown great resilience. Output growth during 2010-11 is expected to increase due to increasing levels of capacity utilisation in recent months. India’s export and import sector has improved along with the recovery in the global economy. Union Budget for 2010-11 lays greater emphasis on quality of fiscal adjustment which would contribute to improving the overall medium-term growth outlook. Volatility in the domestic financial markets was much lower during 2009-10 than in the year before, when the crisis erupted. During 2009-10, foreign exchange reserves increased by US$ 27.1 billion. Net capital inflows are expected to increase further during the current year, reflecting the prospects of higher growth.

 

Inflation had reached peak levels but is expected to moderate in the coming months. There are, however, upside risks to inflation. International commodity prices, particularly oil, have started to increase again. In several commodities, the import option for India to contain domestic inflation is limited, because of higher international prices. Increase in private sector consumption and the increasing demand supply gap will add to inflationary pressures. Economic growth in 2010-11 is expected to be higher than in 2009-10 on account of overall growth of agriculture, industry and service sector. However, there are some risks like monsoon uncertainty, less consumption demand, pace of global recovery and decline in exports. Decision of the Government to exit from fiscal stimulus and the growth-supportive monetary policy could impact the growth process.

 

With an impressive track record, the country has assumed a favourable place in the world steel industry. Global steel giants from all over the world have shown interest in the industry because of its good performance. The crude steel production in India registered a moderate year-on-year growth of 2.7% in 2009 and reached 56.6 Million Metric Tons. On the other side, some Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea saw significant decline in their production levels. This further signifies the resilience and strength of the Indian steel industry against external risk factors.

 

Global economic slowdown hampered the growth of various steel intensive industries, such as, construction in 2009 and its impact also fell on steel demand. However, the Government’s proactive incentive plans to boost economic growth by injecting funds in various industries  like construction, infrastructure and power will help the steel industry to again achieve its previous growth trajectory. Steel consumption in India is expected to grow significantly in coming years since per capita finished steel consumption is far less from other countries. According to the year-end review by the Press Information Bureau, India has emerged as the fourth largest producer of steel in the world and the second largest producer of crude steel.

 

The National Steel Policy has a target for taking steel production up to 110 MT by 2019–20. With the current rate of ongoing greenfield and brownfield projects, the Ministry of Steel has projected that India’s steel capacity is expected to touch 124.06 MT by 2011–12. Based on the status of Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) signed by the private producers with the various State Governments, such as Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, India’s steel capacity is likely to be 293 MT by 2020. India accounts for around 5 per cent of the global steel consumption. However, its use in railway coaches, wagons, airports, hotels and retail stores is growing immensely. India’s steel consumption rose on account of improved demand from sectors like automobile and consumer durables. The scope for raising the total consumption of steel is huge, given that per capita steel consumption is only 35 kg compared to 150 kg across the world and 250 kg in China. While 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, specialised steel will be increasingly used in hi-tech engineering industries such as power generation, petrochemicals, fertilisers, etc. The new airports and railway metro projects will require a large amount of stainless steel. With the growing need for oil and gas transportation infrastructure, huge opportunity is waiting to be tapped by steel manufacturers in the coming years

 


Opportunities and Threats

 

Steel industry plays an important role in the development of a country. India, a developing nation, requires huge contribution from this industry, to expedite its run to reach new heights in world economy. India has large reserves of mineral resources, such as, coal, iron ore etc and is in a strong position to mobilise these resources into productive use. Vast market potential with increasing middle class provides assured market to the industry. Recovery in Indian economy during 2009-10 has given rise to new investment opportunities which will increase demand for steel products. Last year the Company had undertaken comprehensive exercise on reducing costs and improving quality of the products which has given a strong edge to the Company in the market. The demand for steel is increasing and the prices have also firmed up during the year under report. The increase in steel making capacity by the Company will be absorbed by the increasing demand for steel products.

 

Power, iron ore and coal are three key raw materials for production of steel. The Directors are making all efforts to ensure their availability considering the proposed enhancement in the production capacity of steel. In South Africa, Company is operating, through a subsidiary a coal mine named as Kiepersol Colliery in Piet Retief, South Africa and started coal production in December 2009. In Mozambique, Company has acquired coal block in Tete province and is exploring the coal block. Efforts are being made to get more mining concession in Mozambique. Jindal Steel Bolivia, S.A (JSB), a subsidiary of the Company has been awarded exploration rights by the Government of Republic of Bolivia over El-Mutun Iron Ore Mine. JSB will set up mining facilities, steel making facilities and requisite infrastructure for development of the mine in granted concession.

 

The Company is increasing captive power generation capacity for meeting power requirement of steel plants. Phase-1(2x135 MW) of Captive power plant of 540 MW (4x135 MW) capacity is under implementation at coal mine at Tamnar, Chhattisgarh. Part I of 135 MW has been synchronised and will start generating Power in June 2010. Setting up of captive power plants is a part of the integrated steel plants being set up in Angul, Odisha and Patratu, Jharkhand for meeting their power requirements. The Company had, last year, commissioned wind mill power plants in villages - Bhud and Amberi in District Satara in the State of Maharashtra with an aggregate generation capacity of 15 MW. During the year under report additional 9 MW wind mill power generation capacity has been added.

 

Jindal Power Limited (JPL), subsidiary of the Company is expanding power generation capacity of I,000 MW power plant at Raigarh, by setting up 2,400 MW power project. JPL has signed three joint venture agreements with Hydro Power Development Corporation of Arunachal Pradesh Limited, a public sector undertaking for setting up hydro electric power plants with an aggregate capacity of 6,100 MW in Arunachal Pradesh.

 

The Company has, over the years, built a strong technical and managerial team who possesses sufficient experience in setting up big projects and manage them efficiently. This team is competent enough to set up steel projects in Angul, Odisha and Patratu, Jharkhand and expanding steel production capacity in Raigarh. The Company is therefore poised well for further growth and sustainable development. There are however cost factors of financing which the Company has to consider while taking strategic decisions. The upward pressure on inflation has prompted RBI to increase its benchmark rates. This has increased the cost of financing for working capital requirement. Additionally, it is also putting pressure on all the expansion projects. Already the interest rates for the short term and medium term loans have gone up by 25-50 basis points in the last few months.

 

Cheaper imports from countries such as China and Ukraine will make steel industry vulnerable. Further lowering of customs duty on steel products which is 5% at present or further increasing of excise duty on production of steel products which was raised from 8% to 10% in the union budget 2010 could adversely impact the revenue and profitability of steel industry. United States of America and European countries are slowly coming out of acute slow down of 2009 but unemployment figures and financial system is still a worrying factor which could prove a little drag on the pace of projected economic growth of the country in the current year. But the internal economic factors indicate increasing demand for steel which is expected to command better prices. Electricity continues to be in short supply and its domestic and industrial demand is rising. As the Company is self sufficient in supply of raw materials and has captive facilities for meeting its electricity requirement, the Company is expected to do better in coming years.

 

Outlook

 

The global steel market has significantly improved since the low of 2008-09. The first half of 2009 witnessed monthly steel production levels go below 100mn MT due to global economic recession. The production levels picked up from 2nd half driven by China as consumers across sectors started replenishing stocks. Global Steel Production for 2009 was 1,220 MMTPA as against 1,329 MMTPA in 2008.

World Steel Association in its April, 2010 report, forecasted that apparent steel use will increase by 10.7% to 1,241 mmt in 2010 after contracting by 6.7% in 2009. This represents an improved figure over the Autumn 2009 forecast for both 2009 and 2010. With these projections, world steel demand in 2010 will exceed pre-crisis levels of 2007. In 2011, it is forecast that world steel demand will grow by 5.3% to reach a historical high of 1,306 mmt. The resilience of the emerging economies, especially China, has been the critical factor enabling the earlier than expected recovery of world steel demand.

 

Indian steel industry was among the very few countries which registered positive growth during 2009-10 and is expected to increase by 10-12% in 2010-11. This growth is to be driven by infrastructure sector which is expected to grow at 17.5% in financial year 2010-11. Union Budget 2010 has provided Rs. 1735520.000 millions for infrastructure development. Steel production in 2010-11 is likely to be 65 million tonnes compared to 60-61 million tonnes in the year 2009-10.

 

The rise in construction activities, too, fuelled volume growth for the steel, thereby indicating that recovery in demand is broad-based and is gathering pace. Companies across sectors are re-launching projects that were shelved and this has increased demand for the metal. The process of re-stocking inventories is also on a high in anticipation of price hike going forward. The domestic demand, especially from the railways, and varied use of stainless steel, will also act as a catalyst in growth of the steel industry in India.

 

The prices of semi finished and finished steel in India have been closely following international trend. International steel prices have been rising steadily in the last few months mostly due to upswing in raw material prices globally and demand pull in some of the products, mainly flat products. The price of the raw materials like coking coal and iron ore has been rising continuously for a number of months now. Although the manufacturers are absorbing some of the price increase, the long term financial implications are forcing them to pass it on to customers. Over the last 12 months the price of coking coal has increased by 96% while the price of iron ore has increased by 91%. The corresponding increase in Semis has been 15% and that for HR Coils has been 38% in India. Thus, much of the increase in input prices has been absorbed by the manufacturers.

 

The Company plans to have 30% of its sales through MoU customers which will insulate it from external factors related to price and ensure a steady order pipeline. It will also focus on efficiently developing value added grades for new applications to enter new markets and limit the impact of competition for greater profitability. It will also focus on efficiently increasing sales through the stockyards by keeping the optimum inventory levels and product mix for just in time order delivery as well as for serving a large number of smaller customers.

 

Financial Performance

 

The overall operational performance of the Company has been satisfactory. During the financial year 2009-10, the Company achieved net sales of Rs. 73675.900 millions. and net profit after tax of Rs. 14796.800 millions  registering marginal decrease of about 4% as compared to 2008-09 due to lower price realisation.

 


Internal Controls and Systems

 

Internal controls and proper systems give authenticity to the information, reports, records, documents, transactions and serve as a strong foundation for decision making by the management. The Company has established proper internal control systems and procedures which are compatible with size of its operations and business. With a view to ensure that systems are adhered to and controls are not flouted, three firms of chartered accountants are conducting internal audit of operations, establishments, marketing offices and stockyards quarterly. Cost Auditors are separately appointed to audit cost accounts of the steel plants and their report is submitted to the Central Government. Audit Committee reviews the reports of Internal Auditors and Cost Audit Report and monitors effectiveness and operational efficiency of internal control systems. Audit Committee is giving valuable suggestions from time to time in improving the business processes, systems and internal controls. Annual internal audit plans are prepared by internal auditors in consultation with Audit Committee and audit is conducted in accordance with this plan. Separate department headed by a Sr. Vice President looks after internal control systems and assists internal auditors and the Audit Committee and provides desired inputs to them.

 

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

 

Borrowing from Banks, Financial Institutions, other lenders in India and/or abroad is integral to running the business. The Company has been availing various types of financial facilities from Banks, Financial Institutions, other lenders in India and/or abroad for meeting fund requirements for implementing the projects, expansion plans and working capital. Options available in the credit market are properly assessed and sufficient care is taken to avail these facilities at competitive terms and conditions and are appropriately secured as per terms of sanction. The borrowings are at competitive cost and their disbursement is linked to the project/working capital requirements. Senior managerial personnel are looking after the arrangement of funds, servicing of debts and management of internal accruals. The Company arranged Rs. 31890.000 millions from banks and FIs for meeting capital expenditure in the year under report.

 

Industrial Relations and Human Resource Management

 

The Company is taking various initiatives and has adopted various policies to provide better amenities to the employees to keep them motivated and satisfied. The Company is on the trajectory of growth and the challenge is

to sustain the growth. Human Resource (HR) has emerged as a strategic business partner in recent few years and sustainability of growth depends on the robustness of its policies, systems and procedure. Keeping the above in mind the Company has developed a Business Partnership Model and has endeavoured to strengthen itself in the following areas viz, Culture Building, Commitment Building, Competence Building and Systems Building. Many contemporary HR initiatives have been undertaken within these building blocks. The Company has engaged Hewitt Associates for the following purposes:

JINDAL STEEL AND POWER LTD. SIGNS MOU WITH RIO TINTO ON ADVANCING HISMELT TECHNOLOGY

 

The technology smelts iron ore fines directly using non-coking coal, and offers significant economic and environmental benefits to the steel industry

 

New Delhi, August 05, 2011:

 

Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL) signed an MoU with Australian mining major, Rio Tinto to jointly work towards global commercialisation of the HIsmelt technology to be used in a fully integrated steel making facility. JSPL will be introducing the HIsmelt technology for the first time in the world other than a pilot plant commissioned in Australia.

 

HIsmelt, short for high-intensity smelting, is the world’s first commercial direct smelting process for making iron straight from the ore. The technology smelts iron ore fines directly using non-coking coals, and offers significant economic and environmental benefits to the steel industry.

The MoU will also involve the relocation of the existing Kwinana HIsmelt plant from Australia to JSPL’s existing facility in Angul, Orissa. The relocated plant will be fully owned by JSPL, and JSPL and Rio Tinto will jointly develop and market the HIsmelt technology in future, with sharing of royalties.

 

The MOU was signed last night in New Delhi by Mr. Naveen Jindal, Chairman and Managing Director of JSPL, and Mr. Sam Walsh, Rio Tinto Chief Executive, Iron Ore and Australia, in the presence of Mr. Peter Varghese, High Commissioner of Australia in Delhi, India.

 

JSPL is part of the US$15 billion Indian based OP Jindal Group, currently producing 3 million tonnes steel annually and 1,800MW of power and executing two large steel plants in India (a 6MTPA plant at Angul, Orissa and a 3 MTPA plant in Patratu, Jharkhand).

 

Mr. Sam Walsh described the deal with JSPL as a natural progression for the technology.  “This opportunity with JSPL is most exciting, as we integrate the HIsmelt flow sheet into their existing steel works in Angul, Orissa, an acceleration of proving of the technology to full design capacity.

 

“We believe the HIsmelt process remains the future for iron making, particularly in locations where coking coal and good quantity of iron ore lumps are not available and where the need to reduce the environmental footprint is increasing, thereby ensuring the ongoing sustainability of this essential industry. HIsmelt is suitable to the resources of India and offers huge environmental benefits to a steelmaker like JSPL”.

 

Mr. Naveen Jindal said, “We are excited to tie-up with Rio Tinto for the HIsmelt technology and look forward to developing it for usage in a fully integrated steel plant.”
