data, which showed a robust 7.9 growth during July-September 2009-10, further bolstering the idea that the demand side is back on stable footing. Globally also there are signs of improvement in economic conditions and firming up of demand and prices. The macro economic policies of the government with continuous emphasis on infrastructure activities and buoyant Indian Economy have cast a good spell for the industry. The Government has

sustained its trust on the development of infrastructure, which will lead to derived demand for steel. The  Company aims to grab these positive developments for growth. There is constant endeavour by the  Company for increasing the share in existing markets and enter new markets.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

GLOBAL OVERVIEW

 

The global economy after witnessing the severe downturn is on the path of recovery. According to IMF estimates, the world output which declined by 0.6 percent in 2009 from the previous levels of 3 per cent of 2008 is expected

to grow by 4.2 percent in 2010 and further by 4.3 percent in 2011. The world real GDP growth reached about 3 Ľ

percent on an annualized basis during second quarter of 2009 and rose to over 4 ˝ percent during second half of the year. IMF estimates suggests that while advanced economies are expected to expand by 2Ľ percent and 2˝ percent in 2010 and  2011, respectively, after witnessing a more than 3 percent decline in 2009, the emerging and developing economies are expected to grow by over 6 Ľ percent in 2010-11 from a modest 2 ˝ percent achieved in 2009. On a whole the revival of global economies hold key to the revival of steel industry, which has been one of the hardest hit by the global financial turmoil. The global steel industry which has flat and  long exhibited different growth pattern. This is because, though steel demand is dependent on economic activities the consumption pattern differs from region to region. Thus auto and shipbuilding consume a significant amount of steel in Japan, while in India and  China, construction constitutes more than 40 percent of the total steel consumption.

 

Despite volatilities in international steel market, a significant prospect of growth is expected during 2010 and 2011. According to MEPS world steel output is predicted to reach 1395 million tones in 2010, an increase of 14% over previous year and a further expansion of 3.9 percent are anticipated in 2011.

 

INDIAN OVERVIEW

 

The Indian economy after witnessing phase of deceleration in GDP growth for five consecutive quarters, witnessed a notable turnaround with the GDP registering growth of 6.1% during April- June, 2009 quarter as against 5.8% in January-March, 2009 quarter. Even though the growth rate of 6.1% achieved during first quarter of the year was significantly lower than 9% plus growth witnessed during premeltdown period, however it was an incipient sign of recovery in the economy. The rise in GDP growth was primarily due to the impact of increase in government spending and the improved performance of industrial sector. As a result the overall GDP for the year 2009-10 was 7.2 percent as against 6.7% growth in 2008-09. The manufacturing sector which remained subdued in the first quarter of current fiscal with the level of growth of IIP reduced to 3.4 percent, witnessed improvement thereafter and IIP increased to around 9.3% in 2nd quarter of the year under review. However though the manufacturing sector has grown at the rate of 8.9 percent in 2009-10, the growth in major industrial groups has been a mixed bag. On one hand we find strong growth in sectors such as automobiles, consumer durables and on the other it is observed that there has been negative growth in sectors such as capital goods, non-durables. As such it is still too early to assume that the manufacturing sector and the economy has recovered fully from the effects of the meltdown.

 

Following the trends of the economy the Indian steel industry which witnessed significant slowdown post meltdown gloom cast in 2008, showed signs of improvement in demand and production. According to report of Ministry of Steel during April-December 2009-10 crude steel production registered growth of 4 percent and was 45.775 million tonne. In case of finished steel (alloy + non-alloy) during April- December, 2009 the production for sale grew by 3.2 percent and was at 43.849 million tone. The steel consumption during the said period also grew by 7.8 percent and was at 40.997 million tonne. As a result of increase in consumption, steel imports increased by 16.6 percent and was about 5.21 million tonne during the said period. Further during the last quarter of the year the demand and production improved further and on a whole steel production increased by 4.2% to 60 million tones and steel consumption increased by 8%. The domestic demand surged 23% growth in steel imports to 7.2 million tonne for the fiscal even as exports declined by almost a third as global demand remained subdued.

 

However even though the demand for steel saw improvements the year has been a cautious time for the industry. One of the most worrying factors has been the rise in input costs. Iron Ore prices started to firms up from the later

part of the year and reports are that NMDC the country’s largest miner has announced provisional price hike of 54- 58%. The rise in input costs are a major concern for the industry, as the user sectors of steel are still at a very nascent stage of recovery from the downturn of meltdown phase and the steel manufacturers are finding it difficult to increase prices in wake of increased input costs.

 

One notable fact of the Indian steel industry remains that despite the present turmoil of fluctuating demand, realization and input cost the long term scenario remains robust. The industry has demonstrated that it has the inherent strength to respond to the challenges of highs and lows of business cycle as a result of which domestic and foreign investors have shown a great deal of interest in setting up steel capacities in the Country.

 

OPPORTUNITIES

 

  • A total of US$ 494.33 billion investment is envisaged in the 11th Five Year Plan in infrastructure such as electricity, roads, telecom, railways, irrigation, water supply, ports, airports, storage, gas which will drive demand for steel.

 

  • Given the current stage of economic development, the planners in India believe that the steel demand growth is likely to mirror the GDP growth till about 2025 and will be in the range of 135-165 million tonne by the year 2025 and by 2050 in the range of 465-540 million tones. As such for a country which may need 500 million tonne or more of steel by 2050 characterizes a huge potential for growth in industry.

 

  • India has all the ingredients of building a robust growing steel industry as it is endowed with abundant iron ore reserve, coal and other resources, ability to produce and maintain production machinery, technology and above all manpower and entrepreneurship.

 

  • The Indian market has a huge untapped potential, as the per capita consumption of steel in India is very low being 44 kg, being 85 kg in urban areas and around 2 kg in rural areas. The consumption is expected to increase and by 2019-20 reach approximately 165 kg and 4 kg for urban and rural areas, respectively, implying CAGR of around 5% and  4.4%, respectively.

 

  • The industry enjoys the benefit of sustained domestic demand fueled by growth in construction, automobile, auto components, consumer durables, oil and gas, railways and infrastructure sector.

 

  • Growth of mining sector of over 8% and improved coal production during the year being 365.09 Mt recording a growth of 8.5% are signs of favorable prospects for the industry as it implies sustainable raw material availability.

 

  • According to a report of Technical Group there will be shortage of 26.53 million houses during the Eleventh five year Plan, which signifies a huge demand potential for construction steel.

 

OUTLOOK

 

According to D and B, India’s economic growth would pick-up pace gradually as the private consumption and investment demand gathers momentum and supports the economic activity even when stimulus provided by the government is being withdrawn and RBI tightens its monetary policy. D and  B expects Index of Industrial Production to have surged by 10.2% during FY10 as compared to 2.87% in FY09. D and  B further expects the growth of industrial production to be further broad based during FY11 at 10.3% on account of substantial improvement in domestic demand, recovery in demand for Indian exports, increase in investment activity and increased thrust of the government on infrastructure projects. According to IMF India’s GDP growth projected to be 8 ľ percent in 2010 and 8 ˝ percent in 2011, supported by rising private demand. As such as in India the elasticity of steel consumption with respect to GDP is around 0.96, it implies that for every 1% increase in the GDP, there will be a nearly proportional increase in steel consumption in the economy. Further the assessment of demand for steel can be estimated by considering steel usage of major user sectors which include construction (45%), machinery manufacturing and engineering (30%), steel units comprising CR/GP/GC and tube units (18%), automotive (4%) Furniture and Hardware (2%) and consumer durables (1%). The over all growth of these sectors drive the demand for steel.

 

The Indian steel demand is going to rise continuously as the user sectors are poised for substantial growth in the

coming years. Although the National Steel Policy has a target of taking steel production to 110 million tonne per annum by 2019-20, the steel ministry has projected India’s steel capacity to touch 120 million tonne by 2012 on the back of increased demand. It is expected that the growth of steel consumption for the next five years will be more than 10%.
