LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY:

 

The Ministry of Steel and Mines drafted a policy statement to evolve a new model for managing industry. The policy statement was presented to the Parliament on December 2, 1972. On this basis the concept of creating a holding company to manage inputs and outputs under one umbrella was mooted. This led to the formation of Subject. The Company, incorporated on January 24, 1973, was made responsible for managing five integrated steel plants at Bhilai, Bokaro, Durgapur, Rourkela and Burnpur, the Alloy Steel Plant and the Salem Steel Plant. Subject is the steel-making company in India. SAIL is a fully integrated iron and steel maker, producing both basic and special steels for domestic construction, engineering, power, railway, automotive and defence industries and for sale in export markets. The company's plants are divided as Integrated Steel Plants and Special Steel Plants. The Integrated Steel Plants comprised Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP) in Chhattisgarh, Durgapur Steel Plant (DSP) in West Bengal, Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) in Orissa, Bokaro Steel Plant (BSL) in Jharkhand and IISCO Steel Plant (ISP) in West Bengal. The Special Steel Plants includes Alloy Steels Plants (ASP) in West Bengal, Salem Steel Plant (SSP) in Tamil Nadu and Visvesvaraya Iron and Steel Plant (VISL) in Karnataka, totally 8 plants. SAIL, by virtue of its Navratna' status, enjoys significant operational and financial autonomy. SAIL International Limited was incorporated to coordinate the export and import business the year 1974. In 1976, Durgapur Mishra Ispat Limited, Bhiali Ispat Limited, an Rourkela Ispat Limited, were formed as fully owned subsidiaries of SAIL for taking over the running business of Alloy Steels Plants, Bhilai steel Plant and Rourkela Steel Plant on transfer from HSL. During the year 1978 SAIL was restructured as an operating company. In the year 1982, The Salem Steel Plant was inaugurated at Salem in Tamilnadu. It represents the dispersal of industries and balance regional development bringing the latest sophistication in cold rolling. The number of technological improvement schemes was undertaken during the year 1985, the most notable thing was the conversion of open-hearth furnace No.10 into twin hearth furnace. A year after, in 1986, all the Phase-I units under the plants' 4 million tonnes expansion programme were commissioned. A vacuum arc-degassing unit was started in the converter shop and a second normalizing furnace in plate mill was added. During the year 1988, The Visvesvaraya Irons and Steel Co. Limited was became a subsidiary of the company by acquisition of 60% of the shares and the Bhilai Steel Plant set up a blast furnace bell-less top charging system in the same year. In 1990, the company made a modernization programme to revamp and technologically upgrade the plant. After the modernization the plant slated for a crude steel capacity of 1.9 million TPA. The Company's R and D unit at Ranchi was set up in the year 1992 with a view to promote continuous improvement in critical performance indices of the steel plant in order to increase productivity, reduce production cost and improve quality by production optimization or by introduction of new technologies. In 1993, SAIL launched the consultancy division with a view to harness the resources and expertise in steel related areas and market engineering, technical, managerial and training services. Two major schemes viz. new sinter plant III and expansion of oxygen plant II were taken up for implementation. C.O. Battery No. 10 was commissioned during the year 1994. At Rourkela steel plant, five of phase II modernization packages viz. power distribution, mobile equipment for RMHS, II sizing plant at Satara and Tarkera intake facilities and make-up water pump houses for Tarkera works were commissioned. SAIL has ventured into setting up a power project at Bhilai by the form joint venture with M/s. Larsen and Toubro and CEA, USA Inc in the year 1995. In 1997, the major production facilities of modernization like both continuous casting machines, steel refining unit and coiler-4 were installed and the modernization of rail and structural mill (stage 1-phase) was commissioned. SAIL has made a marketing tie up with Tyazprom export (TPE) of Russia in the year 1999 to sell the entire range of castings and pig iron produced by Kulti Works, a division of Indian Iron and Steel Company (IISCO). During the year 2000, SAIL signed a MoU with Egypt's public sector Metallurgical Industries Corporation (Micor) for the establishment of a modern technical and management training centre for the Egyptian steel industry. The Company has launched a new millennium special media campaign to hard sell its wide range of products. The Durgapur Steel Plant of the company has commissioned the computerized integrated production planning and control (PPC) system that helps in practically every aspect of plant operation and dispatch. The Company, Tata Steel and Kalyani Steels Limited entered into an agreement for creation of an Internet-based global, independent B2B Steel Market place. Major projects implemented during 2002-03 includes up gradation of BF-3 with increase in useful volume and installation of INBA Cast House Slag Granulation Plant at BF-3 at DSP, installation of De-scaling Unit before 950 mm Roughing Stand of Rail and Structural Mill of BSP and installation of Combined Blowing Technology in Converter No. 2 at SMS-II of BSL. Efforts were also made in non steel sectors and consultancy orders were procured from petroleum, chemicals and power sectors besides steel sector. In addition to executing consultancy projects in India, projects were executed during 2003-04 by SAILCON in Iran, Egypt and Georgia. During the period of 2004-05, SAIL has wide use of e-commerce, e-procurements worth Rs.2980 millions and e-selling worth Rs.11560 millions and during the same year the company earned the enviable status of a virtual zero debt company. SAIL entered into an agreement with GAIL for supply of natural gas for its integrated steel plants. A MoU was also signed with KIOCL for joint development of some iron ore mines of the company. SAIL received the prestigious SCOPE Gold Trophy for Excellence and Outstanding Contribution to the Public Sector Management- Institutional category for the year 2004-05. The Company bagged, 'Business world-FICCI-SEDF Corporate Social Responsibility Award - 2006'. SAIL has undertaken a massive modernization and expansion plan during the year of 2006-07 with an indicative cost of over Rs.400000 millions to expand capacity of hot metal to over 25 million tones from current level of 14.6 million tones. The company introduced several new products in the domestic market during the year 2006-07: HCR-EQR TMT for earthquake resistant construction, rock bolt TMT for tunnel construction, EN series HR coils for LPG cylinders, MC 12 HR coils for chains etc. In addition, Bhilai Steel Plant developed high strength vanadium rails; Durgapur Steel Plant produced S-profile loco wheels for high-speed locos and Rourkela Steel Plant rolled special plates, which were used, in the indigenously built rocket PSLV C-7. As on January 2008, India's two biggest steel makers, public sector Subject and private sector Tata Steel Limited, have formed a joint venture company (JVC) to mine coal blocks for securing assured coking coal supply to meet their increasing production needs. As on June 2008, SAIL made a joint venture with Shipping Corporation of India may own a few bulk carriers to have continuous availability of vessels. The Company is setting up three steel processing units (SPU) in Madhya Pradesh for manufacturing various types of steel items used by the construction industry. The company's Corporate Plan, 2012 (CP12) was formulated in 2004 for 4 integrated steel plants for increase in Hot Metal production to 20 Mt by 2012. After merger of in IISCO Feb 06, the Hot Metal production Plan was revised to 22.5 Mt by 2012. Expansion of Special Steel Plants was also included. Hon'ble Minister of Steel reviewed the Corporate Plan 2012 in Jul'2006, wherein it was decided to take up the Expansion of Integrated Steel Plants and Special Steel Plant in one go based on Composite Project Feasibility Report (CPFR).

 

The financial year 2007-08 has been a historical year for the Company, being an year for commemorating its Golden Jubilee year of iron making from February, 2008. It was on 3rd February, 1959 that the then President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad had dedicated the first blast furnace of erstwhile Hindustan Steel Limited at Rourkela Steel Plant to the nation, followed by the dedication of the first blast furnace of Bhilai Steel on 4th February, 1959. These events marked the beginning of steel plant operations in the public sector in independent India, thus laying the industrial foundation for the country as envisioned by their first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. 
 


FINANCIAL REVIEW

 

After witnessing a worldwide downturn in all spheres of business including in the steel industry in second half of 2008-09, the company remained focused on its fundamentals including expansion plans. It was the result of concerted and collective action that during the calendar year 2009, SAIL emerged as the second highest net profit earning company amongst all steel companies of the world. In January, 2010, SAIL's overall ranking was second in the list of 'World-Class Steelmaker Rankings' by World Steel Dynamics, a leading steel information services provider.

 

The company re-oriented its production in line with market demand, substantially increased production of value added steel and achieved saleable steel production of 12.6 Million Tones achieving 114% capacity utilization. Sales volume of saleable steel also improved by 7% at 12.1 Million Tones as against 11.3 Million Tones in 2008-09. The steel prices which were at its low during October-December' 08, started recovering gradually from January 2009 onwards, but at a slow pace. However, the average steel prices in 2009-10 were lower than those in 2008- 09. The company achieved a turnover of Rs.439350.000 Millions during 2009-10, which is lower by 10% over previous year, mainly on account of lower selling price.

 

The profitability of the company improved by 8% during current year over previous year, mainly due to higher saleable steel production and sales volume; improved production of value added products; reduction in coke rate, improvement in BF productivity and specific energy consumption, favourable impact of input prices particularly of imported coal, nickel, ferro-manganese, silicomanganese, aluminum etc; higher interest earnings and impact of estimated provision for salaries and wages. However, the profitability has been affected due to reduction in average net sales realization of saleable steel, increase in royalty on minerals, higher interest cost and depreciation. Several strategic actions were taken by the management to improve profitability viz. increase in production and sales of value added products, improved techno-economic parameters (coke rate, blast furnaces productivity, specific energy consumption etc.), optimization in procurement, continuous emphasis on cost reduction and prudent fund management etc.

 

The Company continued its thrust on optimum utilization of funds by better fund management. This included replacement of high cost short term loans with low cost debts, strategic parking of surplus funds with scheduled banks, actions for future fund raising etc. to meet the growth objectives. The Company had liquid assets of Rs.  220230.000 Millions as on 31st March 2010 invested in short term deposits with scheduled banks. Considering borrowings of Rs.165110.000 Millions, the company maintained its virtual debt free status. The debt equity ratio of the company increased to 0.50:1 as on 31st March, 2010 from 0.27:1 as on 31st March, 2009, mainly on account of increase in borrowings for capital expenditure. The net worth of company improved substantially. Higher cash profits helped in higher generation of internal resources for funding expansion plans.

 

The Company has paid interim dividend @ 16% of the paid-up equity share capital during the year. The Board of Directors has further recommended a final dividend @ 17% subject to approval of shareholders, thus making the total dividend @ 33% of the paid up equity share capital for the year 2009-10. A sum of Rs. 6800.000 Millions has been transferred to the general reserves during the year (previous year Rs. 6250.000 Millions).

 

The Annual Report of SAIL was adjudged by South Asian Federation of Accountants (SAFA) as the Best Presented Accounts under Public Sector entities and was awarded 2nd Runner up (Joint) position for the year 2007-2008.

 

Credit Rating

 

M/s FITCH and M/s CARE, RBI approved credit rating agencies, maintained "AAA" ratings, indicating the highest safety, to SAIL's long term borrowing programme. Standard and Poor's, an International Rating Agency, has assigned initial Issuer Rating of "BBB-" with stable outlook to the company in line with the sovereign rating.

 

 

PRODUCTION REVIEW

 

The steel market in India showed great resilience, improving every quarter. In line with market requirement the production was ramped up in SAIL and two blast furnaces, which were taken for shutdown for repairs last year, were started. As a result, the production in the current year was higher than the production in the previous year, despite the fact that the year 2009-10 started with uncertainty due to market slowdown in the previous year.

 

The Company recorded higher volume of saleable steel production at 12.6 million tones, registering a growth of 1% over corresponding period of last year (CPLY), with capacity utilisation of 114% during the year. Production of hot metal at 14.5 million tones and crude steel at 13.5 million tones was also at 105% of rated capacity each. SAIL plants achieved highest ever continuous cast production of 9.1 million tones – a growth of 3% over last year.

 

The product-mix was further improved during the year with highest ever special quality and value added products at 4.63 million tones - a growth of 24% over previous year. In 2009-10, the Company achieved the highest ever production of Plates in BQ/SAILMA/IS-2062/ASTM etc. grades at 401,000 tones, recording a growth of 47%, highest ever production of special quality semis at Durgapur steel plant at 886,000 tones and highest ever Long Rail production of about 1.20 lakh tones, a growth of 13% over CPLY. The company is now producing almost 100% of TMT in special earthquake resistant (EQR) grade to make quality steel available for the infrastructure segment.

 

Several products were developed during the year viz. Creep Resistant plates for use in the construction of shell plates of Blast Furnaces, Boiler Quality thicker gauge plates for use in high capacity boilers, High Tensile plates with improved corrosion resistance for manufacture of railway coaches, 'Z' quality DMR 249 A plates for defence sector at BSP; Micro alloyed wheel and axle for railways at DSP; Quenching and Tempering plates for Gun carriage, API X 65 ERW pipes at RSP and High strength formable quality steel and thin gauge high strength HR Coils for chassis manufacturing and pre-fabricators, auto, cylinders application (EN 10120 P 265/P310 Nb) at BSL.

 

SAIL plants improved operational efficiency in major techno economic parameters by achieving best ever coke rate at 517 Kg/thm; highest ever BF productivity of 1.57 T/m3/day; highest ever converter lining life at 11,036 blows in converter at Bhilai steel plant; best ever Coal Dust Injection (CDI) rate; highest ever power generation at 568 MW and the best ever Specific energy consumption at 6.72 Gcal /tcs during 2009-10.

 

Raw Materials

 

Slow down in the global steel industry during 2009-10 also witnessed general decline in raw materials prices. In order to reduce adverse impact of costly imported coking coal on cost of production, the company has taken measures for reduction of imported coking coal in the overall coal blend. The company has fulfilled the requirement of iron ore from its captive mines for its steel plants by producing about 23.44 million tonnes during 2009-10. The production of fluxes from captive mines was 2.31 million tonnes. During 2009-10, continued thrust on production in SAIL's captive collieries resulted in record annual production of over 1.36 million tonnes, registering a growth of 34%. After obtaining all statutory clearances, small scale production from Tasra coking coal mine has been started in November, 2009. Action for engagement of Mine Developer cum Operator (MDO)

for Tasra and Sitanala coking coal mines is in progress.

 

The iron ore requirement is estimated to go up to about 43 million tonnes after completion of modernization and expansion plan of SAIL. For continuation of mining operation, stage-I forestry clearance/ temporary forestry clearance has been obtained for Gua, Barsua, Kiriburu and Meghahatuburu iron ore mines. The matter for grant of forestry clearances is also being actively pursued with the respective state governments of Jharkhand and Orissa for other mines. State Government of Jharkhand has accorded 'in-principle' approval for renewal of Budhaburu lease of Chiria iron ore mine. However, delay in renewal of balance leases of Chiria and Gua and delay in grant of Prospecting License for Thakurani mines are affecting the security of enhanced requirement of iron ore for steel plants. As a mid-course correction, steps have been initiated for expansion of capacity of existing mines with beneficiation facilities. Lease for Rowghat "F" deposit has been granted and action for development of stateof- the art mine of 14 mtpa ROM capacity is in progress as an alternative source of iron ore to Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP). The land acquisition and construction of rail link between Dalli- Rajhara and Rowghat are also under progress.

 

"SandT Mining Company Private Limited" a joint venture company of SAIL and Tata Steel Limited, is exploring various opportunities for acquisition and development of coal mines and setting up coal washeries. The company is also making attempts for allocation of new coking coal as well as thermal coal blocks to it for captive mining to enhance indigenous coal availability.

 

 

SALES and MARKETING REVIEW

 

The company has recorded domestic sales of 11.78 million tones during FY'09-10 registering over 6% growth over previous year. Exports at 0.33 million tones also grew by 31% over FY'08-09. Sales of value added steel grew to 4.5 million tones and constituted 37% of total domestic sales. Major categories recording growth over previous year were: Wire Rods-13.9%; Plates-10.5%; Hot Rolled Coils-10.2%; Medium Structurals- 17.6%; Heavy Structurals-35.8%. During the year supply of Long Rails (130m/260m) to Indian Railways were increased by 13.7% over previous year. Supply of 26 meter Long Rails also registered a growth of 8.1% over previous best achieved in FY'08-09. New records were also set in supplies of Loco wheels and Loose Axles to Indian Railways during the year.

 

During the year 2009-10, the company added two Warehouses and two Customer Contact Offices to its distribution network. With this, SAIL's marketing network has expanded to 37 Branch Sales Offices (BSOs), 26 Customer Contact Offices (CCOs) and 67 Warehouses. The company also expanded its dealer network in 2009-10 by appointing 700 dealers during the year. As on 1st April, 2010 SAIL has a wide network of 2508 dealers spread over 630 districts of the country. Sales to dealers at 6.04 lakh tones in FY'09-10 registered a growth of 17.3% over previous year.

 

The company strengthened its presence in neighbouring and traditional markets and exported 3.27 lakh tones steel during the year. The main products exported were Billets, Plates, HR Coils, GC Sheets and Structurals. New markets to which exports were undertaken during the year were Ethiopia and Gulf countries. Export of Structurals was started from ISP. Exports of Plates were resumed to South America after a gap of almost 5 years. Initiatives were put in place to reduce congestion related problems at Nepal border for exports. Export of Loco Wheels was also undertaken after a long gap.

 

Improvements in logistics were also undertaken during FY'09- 10 for better customer service and 1.33 million tones steel items were transported and delivered at customers' premises by SAIL. This was an improvement of 25% over FY'08-09.

 

 

PROSPECTS

 

Indications for global recovery have gained strength with IMF projecting growth in World Output at 4.6% and 4.3% for 2010 and 2011 respectively. The rebound in world trade volume is expected to be even stronger at 9% after a negative growth of 11% in 2009. IMF is also optimistic about performance of Indian economy and has revised its projection of 8.8% for 2010, forecast in April, 2010 to 9.4% in the July, 2010 update.

 

After a dip in growth in 2008-09, Indian economy is showing signs of recovery with inflation being the only cause of concern. Robust industrial growth in the initial months of fiscal 2010-11 has raised hope of a strong recovery for the Indian economy for 2010-11. Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister has projected a growth of 8.5% for 2010-11, which is expected to touch 9% in 2011-12. The buoyancy in growth is expected to be on account of manufacturing sector growing at double digit, and recovery in agriculture projected to grow at more than 4%. Services are expected to maintain their trend rate of growth at 9% and above. The general economic environment in India hence augurs well for rebounding of steel consumption growth upwards. WSA has projected a growth of more than 13% per annum for India during 2010 and 2011, with the overall consumption reaching 72 million tonnes by 2011

 

 

GROWTH PLAN

 

Considering the fast growing demand for steel in the country, the Company is currently implementing growth plan to enhance its Hot Metal capacity from the level of 13.8 million tones in a phased manner. Under the ongoing phase-I of modernization and expansion plan, hot metal production capacity will get expanded to 23.46 million tonnes by 2012-13. The growth plan, besides targeting higher production, also addresses the need for eliminating technological obsolescence, achieving energy savings, enriching product-mix, reducing pollution, developing mines and collieries, introducing customer-centric processes and developing matching infrastructure facilities.

 

To maintain its current dominance in the domestic market and to meet the future challenges, SAIL is working on a long term strategic plan 'Lakshya 2020', which will steer the company towards meeting its strategic objectives of achieving profitability through growth and customer satisfaction.

 

 

MODERNISATION and EXPANSION PROJECTS

 

SAIL's modernisation and expansion plan comprises capital projects relating to 'Expansion', 'Value Addition/Product-mix improvement', 'Technological Up gradation/ Modernization of existing assets' and 'Sustenance including Debottlenecking, Additions, Modifications, Replacements and Environment' related projects.

 

The modernization and expansion plan includes installation of new Coke Oven Batteries, new Sinter Plants, new Blast Furnaces of bigger capacity with up gradation of existing blast furnaces, new Steel Melting Shops/ addition of Converter in old shop, installation of new Mills etc. which will increase share of finished steel in saleable steel. Along with the addition of new facilities, most of the existing facilities are also being upgraded to enable production of value added steels, reduce energy consumption and for improvement in productivity, etc.

 

The expansion plan is being implemented simultaneously in all the Plants including mines and requires matrix planning, involvement/ coordination with a large number of agencies, prudent fund management, selection of right technology etc. SAIL has already initiated actions in all these areas to prepare the organization accordingly.

 

SAIL Board gave `in-principle' approval during the year for New Normalising Furnace, On-line eddy current testing machine and replacement of gas holder at BSP; enhancement of production capacity at Gua Iron Ore Mine along with beneficiation facilities and Installation of 4MTPA capacity Pellet Plant and Installation of Tertiary Crusher at Meghahatuburu Iron Ore Mine at RMD; Development of Sitanala Coal block at ISP and Revival of Jagdishpur unit of SAIL with an estimated outlay of about Rs. 33500.000 Millions. Further, cumulative approval of about Rs. 450000.000 Millions has been accorded by SAIL Board for modernization and expansion plan till date.

 

Hot Trials have started at Salem Steel Plant (SSP) in August, 2010 after expansion. For ISP, BSP, DSP, RSP and BSL Expansion, execution of various packages is in progress

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE and DEVELOPMENTS

 

General Economic Environment

 

World output growth for 2010 projected at 4.6%, signals a recovery compared to recessionary trend in 2009 when the global output shrank by 0.6%. The recovery is attributable to strong performance by the emerging economies, recovery in the developed world, restocking of inventories and rebound in global trade which had shrunk by 11.3% in 2009. During 2010 and 2011, the world trade volume of goods and services is expected to increase by more than 9% in 2010.

 

While the emerging and developing economies are performing strongly, in the developed world recovery in US is better than Europe and Japan. The advanced economies as a group are expected to grow at 2.6% in 2010 and 2.4% in 2011 against a negative growth of 3.2% during 2009. Emerging and developing nations registered a growth of 2.5% during 2009 which is expected to increase to 6.8% and 6.4% respectively for 2010 and 2011.

 

The challenges for growth are in terms of a pressing need in the advanced economies for medium term fiscal consolidation and a clear cut time frame to bring down gross debt to GDP ratio. With a fiscal deficit hovering at 9% of GDP for the advanced nations, based on current policies, the debt to GDP ratios of these economies are expected to exceed 100% of GDP by 2014. There is hence a need for withdrawal of Government stimulus for overall fiscal consolidation. The pace of the withdrawal however, has to be managed in a manner that it does not impair growth. The near term risk is in the form of sovereign liquidity and solvency in Greece which could potentially become a full blown contagious sovereign debt risk.

 

For the emerging economies, public debt ratio ranges between 30- 40% of GDP and is likely to fall given the high GDP growth. The challenge to the emerging economies is mainly management of inflation.

 

Indian Economy

 

The revised estimate for 2009-10, has projected a GDP growth of 7.4% compared to 6.7% for the previous year. The impact of bad monsoon is visible on performance of agriculture sector which has declined by 0.2%, however, strong growth of 9.3% for industry and 8.5% for services have led to the recovery of overall GDP.

 

The index of industrial production has grown at 10.4% for April to March 2009-10 compared to 2.8% in 2008-09. The growth of core infrastructure industries during this period was 5.5% against a growth of 3% in the previous year. Manufacturing sector with a growth of 10.8% and mining at 10.6% have been the growth contributors for industry. On the demand side, capital goods and consumer durables have led the recovery at 19.2% and 26% respectively.

 

Exports which registered a negative growth of 4.7% during 2009-10 started showing a recovery in the later part of the year while the imports declined by 8.2%. Inflation continues to be a worry with the point to point measure for March 2010 at 9.9%.

 

There is however a degree of optimism regarding the performance of Indian economy. IMF has projected a growth of 9.4% for 2010 and 8.4% for 2011.

 

Global Steel Industry

 

The recovery in the global steel industry became evident from June 2009 when the crude steel production crossed 100 million tonnes after a gap of 8 months. The capacity utilization which had dropped from 86% in July 2008 to 58% in December 2008, recovered to 80% in February 2010. It has become stagnant around this level for last 6 months.

 

World Steel Association (WSA) in its latest demand forecast has projected a world wide steel consumption growth of 10.7% during 2010 and 5.3% in 2011. This is a strong reversal from a negative growth of 1.6% in 2008 and 6.7% decline in 2009. The emerging economies which remained positive in growth through the crises will be driving the world growth. In the major developed economies, growth will be slower with projected demand for 2011 below the 2007 level. Only Asia and Middle East showed increased production in first six months of 2010 above the corresponding period in 2007.

 

The sharp recovery in global steel demand is attributable to Govt. stimulus packages and inventory restocking. The risks to the growth are in terms of fiscal balancing, dealing with inflationary pressure and increased raw material price volatility for the steel sector. China where consumption of finished steel reached 542 million tonnes

in 2009 - a growth of 25% over the previous year - will see a lower consumption growth in subsequent years. The projected finished steel consumption for China during 2011 is 595 million tonnes. The year 2011 is projected to take the global steel consumption to a new peak of 1.3 billion tonnes.

 

Indian Steel Sector

 

The consumption of finished carbon steel in India in 2009-10 has been estimated at 53 million tonnes - a growth of 7.8% over the previous year. While the exports at 3.4 million tonnes declined by 13%, imports at 6.7 million tonnes grew by 14%. Overall saleable carbon steel production has been estimated at 56.8 million tonnes for the year 2009-10.

 

WSA has projected a growth of more than 13% for India during 2010 and 2011, with the overall consumption reaching 72 million tonnes by 2011

 

OPPORTUNITIES and THREATS FOR SAIL

 

Opportunities

 

·         India is likely to emerge as the fastest growing steel market globally. This will provide opportunities for steel companies to grow and acquire scale of global giants. SAIL being the dominant producer of steel in India is suitably poised to avail opportunities offered by the expanding market.

 

Threats

 

·         Global economic recovery is fragile. The developed economies are under pressure for reconstructing their financial sectors and achieving fiscal consolidation without impacting growth. Emerging economies, on the other hand, have to contend with the threat of inflation. A slowdown in global economic recovery will impact overall steel demand adversely.

·         With significant excess capacity in the global steel industry during 2009-10. Cheap imports from China and CIS continue to pose threats for domestic suppliers. With growth in developed countries somewhat shaky, India could become the target for cheap steel exports.

·         Delays in environmental clearances and renewal of mining leases could lead to uncertainty with regard to raw material linkages and delay fresh capacity becoming operational.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The medium to long term outlook for steel in India is robust. India has entered the steel intensive phase of economic development, with sustained investment in infrastructure, construction, urban renewal and high activity level in manufacturing. While there may be short term fluctuations in response to domestic and global concerns, the medium to long term prospects appear very bright.

 

During 2009-10, SAIL has taken various marketing initiatives and achieved record annual sales at 12.4 million tonnes in FY'09-10, a growth of 8% over FY'08-09. This was made possible with a number of initiatives taken to service customers demands better. Some of he new initiatives taken during FY '09-10 are given as under

 

·         Significant growth achieved in sales of Auto grade HRC, LPG grade HRC, ATM Grade Plates, SAILMA 550/550HI Grade Plates.

·         Many new products were developed in 2009-10 such as 3mm Chequered Coils, SAIL-MC60 HR Coils, C30 HMn 1.2 HR Coils, SAE 1541 HR Coils and API X60 ERW Pipes at RSP, DMR 249B Plates at RSP and BSP, ATM Grade Plates at BSP.

·         Production and sale of TMT re-bars stabilized in IS1786 Grade D. IS 1786 Grade D is considered to be a superior grade having better earth quake resistant properties.

·         It has been the continuous endeavour to improve customer satisfaction. As a step in that direction, door deliveries to customers were increased to a record level of 1.325 million tonnes registering 25% growth over CPLY.

·         SAIL has the largest marketing network among all steel producers in the country. During FY '09-10, marketing network was further expanded by opening two more Warehouses and two new Customer Contact Offices. The marketing network of SAIL as on 1st April, 2010 consists of 37 Branch Sales Offices, 67 Warehouses (Departmental and Consignment Agencies) and 26 Customer Contact Offices.

 


STRENGTH AND WEAKNESSES

 

Strength

 

The diversified product mix and multi location production units are an area of strength for the company. SAIL as a single source is able to cater to the entire steel requirement of any customer. Also, it has a nation wide distribution network with a presence in every district in India. This makes quality steel available throughout the length and breadth of the country.

 

SAIL has the largest captive iron ore operations in India, which takes care of its entire requirement. With plans in place to expand the mining operations, the company will continue to be self sufficient in iron ore after completion of the on-going phase of expansion.

 

SAIL's captive power plants take care of about 70% of its total power need. With augmentation of capacities of power plants operated under Joint Venture, the Company will continue to have security in this key input in future as well.

 

SAIL's large skilled manpower base is a source of strength. There is emphasis on skill based training in the company. The expanded capacity will be operated with more or less similar number of employees in future. In fact, with selective recruitment and regular attrition on account of superannuation, the number of employees is likely to come down over time, while there will be improvement in overall skill set.

 

The Company has one of the biggest in-house research and development centres in Asia. SAIL's RDCIS (Research and Development Centre for Iron and Steel) is a source of regular product and process innovation.

 

Low overall borrowings lend strength to the company's balance sheet as it can mobilize resources while keeping the leveraging at manageable levels.

 

Weakness

 

SAIL is dependent on the market purchase for a key input – coking coal. As India does not have sufficient coking coal deposits, most of the supply is from external sources. As international practice in purchase of coking coal is through annual/quarterly price contract, it exposes the company to market risk if the steel prices crash but input prices remain unchanged.

 

A large manpower base results in higher manpower cost as a proportion of turnover for the company. Although there has been significant reduction in manpower through natural and other separations, the manpower strength in SAIL is still higher than the industry average.

 

A part of the operations in the company continues to be from energy inefficient processes viz. open hearth and ingot route of production, which will be eliminated only after the completion of the current expansion program.

 

At present around 20% of the products are in the form of semi-finished steel, resulting in lower value addition. This will continue till new rolling mills planned under expansion plan contribute to value addition as almost all semis will be converted to finished steel.

 

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

Financial Overview of SAIL

 

Global business witnessed a worldwide downturn in all sphere of business including steel industry in the second half of 2008-09. The global economy started recovering gradually during 2009-10. The company reoriented production in line with market demand, substantially increased production of value added steel and achieved the saleable steel production of 12.6 MT representing 114% of capacity utilisation. Sales volume of saleable steel also improved by 7 % at 12.1 MT as against 11.3 MT in 2008-09. The steel prices which were at its lowest during October-December'08, started recovering gradually from January 2009 onwards, but at a very slow pace. Towards the end of current year, the steel prices reached its peak for the financial year 2009-10.

 

Despite higher sales volume of saleable steel for FY 2009-10, SAIL achieved the turnover of Rs. 439350.000 Millions which was lower by 9.9 % as compared to previous year mainly due to reduction in average net sales realisation of saleable steel during 2009-10. However, as compared to CPLY, the profitability improved due to higher saleable steel production (1.1%) and sales volume (7%), improved production of value added products (24%), improvement in BF productivity, reduction in coke rate and specific energy consumption, favorable impact of input prices, particularly of imported coal, nickel, ferro manganese, silico manganese, aluminium etc., reduction in ocean freight on imported coal, reduction in stores and spares consumption, repair and maintenance expenses, optimization in procurement, prudent funds management, curtailing cost of production, etc. The profitability was affected due to lower net sales realisation, increase in royalty on minerals, higher interest cost and depreciation etc. The profit before tax of Rs. 101320.000 Millions was higher by Rs. 7330.000 Millions over previous year (Rs. 93990.000Millionsa).]

 

Plant-Wise Financial Performance (Before Taxes)

 

The profit before tax of most of the plants/units during 2009-10 was higher except at Bhilai Steel Plant, Durgapur Steel Plant, SAIL Refractory Unit and Central Units. However, the Profit after Tax (PAT) of SAIL during 2009-10 was increased by ` 584 crore due to strategic actions taken by the management like increase in value added products, improved techno-economic parameters, optimization in procurement, budgetary control for stores and spares and repair and maintenance expenses, prudent cash management, etc.

 

MATERIALS MANAGEMENT

 

The downturn in prices continued into 2009-10, and so were the efforts to reduce the costs. Controls on new purchases, receipts were rigorous and there was thrust on reduction in specific consumption. A number of new items were also brought under central procurement to benefit from the economies of scale. The second half of the year saw volatility in the price of commodities and the strategy of frequent tenders and short validity of prices was adopted to optimize costs. During the year Reverse Auction was increasingly used for procurement of revenue and capital items at competitive prices and the value of such purchases through Reverse Auction route increased 300% over 2008-09. Towards raw material security, international sources of Low Silica Limestone were identified and imports made for ongoing field trials.

 

FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONSERVATION

 

The Company endeavors to procure equipment, raw materials and other inputs from indigenous sources to the extent they become available to the company at the commercially acceptable prices/costs and meet the requirements of the technologies being used in the company. Further, the Company also takes reasonable steps to ensure that all receivables in foreign exchange, which are due to the company, are realized within contractual period. As regards incurrence of expenditure in foreign currencies, besides exercising the requisite control, it is also ensured that it is in the commercial interest of the Company.

 

 

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

 

The Company incurred a capital expenditure of Rs.106060.000 Millions during 2009-10.

PRESS RELEASE

 

SAIL bags Golden Peacock Environment Management Award 2011


New Delhi, 27 June 2011

 

New Delhi: Maharatna Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) has received the prestigious Golden Peacock Environment Management Award for the year 2011. The award, in recognition of SAIL’s initiatives and achievements in the field of environment management, was presented by Union Minister for Home Affairs Shri P. Chidambaram on 24th June, 2011 at a glittering function held in the Capital.  

 

The Golden Peacock Awards, instituted by the Institute of Directors, New Delhi, are presented annually under various categories. The winners of the Golden Peacock Awards for 2011 were finalised by a jury headed by Justice P.N. Bhagwati, former Chief Justice of India and Member, UN Human Rights Commission, and presented on the occasion of the 13th World Congress on Environment Management.

 

Speaking at a panel discussion during the Congress on the theme of ‘Environmental Initiatives for Corporate Sustainability’, SAIL Chairman Mr. C.S. Verma said that the steel industry “is putting in concerted efforts and adopting a multi-pronged strategy” to minimise the emission of greenhouse gases and to achieve greater sustainable practices. Giving examples of SAIL’s achievements in this endeavour, he pointed out that in the last four years the company has succeeded in reducing particulate emissions by 52%, specific water consumption by 11% and specific energy consumption by 5%, and increased solid waste utilisation by 18%.   

 

SAIL has continuously been taking proactive steps in holistic environment management and preservation. The Corporate Environmental Policy of SAIL also emphasises upon the company “conducting its operations in an environmentally responsible manner, complying with applicable regulations and striving to go beyond”. In accordance with the National Environment Policy, the company has built a management system at its different plants and units for further environmental protection, including acquisition of certification under ISO: 14001. All major units of SAIL, covering both production and service departments, are ISO: 14001 accredited. In addition, the townships of Bhilai, Rourkela and Salem Steel Plants have also been certified to ISO: 14001.

 

To improve the environment inside its plants and their surrounding habitat, SAIL has put in best efforts such as regular maintenance and consistent operation of air pollution control systems, effluent treatment plants, recycling of solid wastes and adoption of cleaner and environment friendly technologies. The concerted efforts have resulted in resource conservation, compliance to regulatory requirements, waste reduction, increase in green cover, etc. SAIL has effectively adopted waste minimisation strategies, including conservation at source, recovery and recycling, to manage the wastes associated with steel making.

 

Recently, SAIL’s Bhilai Steel Plant installed a 30 million litres per day (MLD) sewage treatment plant at a cost of approx. Rs.410.000 Millions using inhouse resources in order to achieve ‘zero effluent discharge’ target. The scheme is expected to reduce dependence on the Chhattisgarh government’s Water Resources Department for additional water requirement in future for BSP’s expansion schemes. The recycling of 30 MLD of treated water for industrial use will approximately save Rs.39.400 Millions per annum.

 

Joining hands with the Ministry of Environment and Forests’ Ozone Cell and UNDP, SAIL took up an umbrella project for replacement of carbon tetrachloride (CTC) used as a cleaning solvent by trichloroethylene (TCE) at six of its steel plants. The objective of this project was to phase out the use of 268 metric tons (approx.) of CTC being used at the Oxygen Plants and Electrical Repair Shops of these selected units for cleaning of storage tanks, electric motors, cylinders, piping, etc.

 

Extensive afforestation programmes have been carried out by the company in all its plants and mines to develop sinks for absorbing air and noise pollution. More than 17.5 million trees have been planted at the SAIL plants and mines since inception. Keeping pace with 21st century environmental agenda of sustainable development, SAIL has spent nearly Rs.9.000 Millions on a programme for ecological restoration of degraded eco-systems over a period of five years up to 2010. Under the programme, 154.42 acres of limestone mined-out area at Purnapani, 11.36 acres of iron ore mined-out area at Kalta, and 27.79 acres of iron ore mined-out area at Barsua have been restored. 222,376 saplings at Purnapani, 24,000 saplings at Barsua and 12,000 saplings at Kalta have been planted under the programme. Species planted have shown lush growth. At all three locations, nurseries have been developed for raising saplings. In addition, pisciculture is being practiced in five abandoned quarries filled with water at Purnapani, by releasing 8 lakh fingerlings, mainly the species of fish such katla, rohu and mrigal. An automatic solar meteorological station has also been put up at Purnapani as a part of the project.
