MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDIAN ECONOMY

Following the slowdown in GDP growth that started from the second half of 2008-09, the Indian economy registered a comeback in 2009-10 with a GDP growth of 7.4% (6.7% in 2008-09). This rebound was largely owing to a timely economic stimulus that catalysed investment and consumption. The country’s mining and manufacturing sectors grew 8.7% and 8.9% in 2009-10. Going ahead, India’s GDP growth is expected to be around 8.5% in 2010-11 and in excess of 9% in 2011-12 arising out of a high domestic dependence, low credit leverage, low debt exposure and growing thrust on infrastructure creation.

 

IRON ORE

Two Tons Of Iron Ore Are Used To manufacture one ton of steel, making it the most critical raw material in metal production. Iron is the fourth-most abundant mineral, constituting about 5% of the earth’s crust, and the world's most commonly used metal. Iron ore represents raw material to make pig iron, an essential steel constituent. The principle ores of iron are hematite (70% iron) and magnetite (72% iron). Global scenario: The global iron ore deposit is estimated at 800 billion tons, containing over 230 billion tons of iron. Iron ore is mined in more than 50 countries and the world’s largest iron ore producing nations are Russia, Brazil, China, Australia, India and the US.

 

Indian scenario: India is the world’s fourth-largest iron ore producer. The iron ore rich states of the country are

Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, and Orissa. India produced about 230 million tons of iron ore in the last fiscal (Source: Economic Times, 07.05.2010), of which around 70% was exported.

 

Indian steel-makers projected an increase in capacity from the current 60 million tons to 90-100 million tons by 2012, strengthening ore demand from 90 million tons to about 150 million tons (Source: Reuters, 11.03.2010).

 

India's surging demand for iron ore

– low-quality grades made up about 70% of last year's output of 222 million tons

– prompted companies to invest in pelletisation plants, using lower-grade powdery iron ore fines ideal for blast furnaces and improved input-output efficiency.

 

Price trends: The global prices of iron ore surged more than two-fold over the last year to US$130 per ton, owing to a strong demand from China and a mild economic recovery in Europe and the United States (Source: Reuters, 11.03.2010). The major factor driving iron ore prices was China’s rising steel output and ore import dependence. Besides, the oligopolistic supply side (CVRD, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto control over 75% of the global seaborne

iron ore trade) resulted in tightening ore prices (Source: CLSA research). The Indian government doubled tax on iron ore lump exports to 10% and added a 5% levy on fines in December 2009 (Source: Reuters, 11.03.2010).

 

Exports: India is the world’s third largest iron ore exporter after Australia and Brazil (Source: Financial Express,

29.03.2010). The country’s exports increased to US$4.4 billion during April- January 2009-10 as against US$3.9

billion during the corresponding period of 2008-09 (Source: Projects monitor) and are projected at about 100 million tons in 2010-11 (Source: Economic Times, 07.05.2010).

 

Outlook: India’s iron ore demand outlook is optimistic as India’s steel production capacity is rising, growing at a compounded annual growth rate of over 8.2% from 38.7 MT to 60 MT from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2010 and expected to sustain. The supply scenario also remains optimistic following growing mine commercialisation and investments in new mines.

 

 

MANGANESE ORE

Ten Kgs Of Manganese Ore Are used to manufacture one ton of steel. Around 100-150 kg of manganese alloy

is required to produce one ton of special steel. Manganese is the world’s fourth-largest consumed metal after iron, aluminium and copper (Source: wallstreetreporter, 22.03.2010). Manganese serves as a desulphurising, deoxidising and conditioning agent during iron ore smelting; as an alloying element in steel, manganese increases toughness, strength and hardness of steel. The iron and steel industry consumes 90-95% of manganese ore with no substitutes. Reserves: Manganese is the 12th-most abundant element in the earth’s crust. India is the world’s seventh-largest manganese ore producer with an estimated reserve of about 240 MT, around 2% of the global reserve (Source: Ministry of Mines). Current estimates of world manganese reserves, including low grade ore, reach several billion tons but if only high-grade ores (more than 44% manganese content) are considered, then reserves are in the range of 680 million tons of ore with Australia, Brazil, Gabon and South Africa supplying over 90% of the international demand. In India, manganese ore is mined in Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa,

Maharashtra and Karnataka. South Africa accounts for about 80% of the world’s identified manganese resources

while Ukraine accounts for 10%.

 

International manganese trade has long been linked with demand from industrialised economies in Europe, North America, Japan and Southeast Asia. Average manganese consumption in industrialised countries, currently about 10 kilograms for one ton of steel (Source: commodityonline, May 2010), is rising owing to the increasing production of high-strength steel grades. China drives manganese ore demand.

 

Price trend: The cost of medium / high grade manganese ore decreased from Rs. 0.010 million to in 2008-09 to Rs. 0.006 million in 2009-10  Applications: In steel manufacture, manganese is added in ferro-alloy form to impart the desired strength, durability, anti-corrosion and anti-stain properties. The battery sector is currently the second-largest consumer of manganese. Besides, it is used in animal feed and fertilisers, colorants for various cosmetics, plastics and artists’ glazes, pigments for bricks, frits, glass, paints tiles and textiles and water treatment chemicals.

 

ALLOY STEEL

Alloy-Steel Is A Carbon-Based Steel comprising chromium, cobalt, copper, manganese, nickel tungsten or vanadium. These steels possess greater strength, hardness, wear-resistance and toughness over carbon steel. These attributes facilitate a growing downstream use by the demanding segments of the automobile, equipment (drilling and mining), locomotive engine and aviation sectors. Alloy steel consumption is a fair index of a region’s development. Higher alloy steel offtake implies quicker industrial growth, especially in the industrial consumer, consumer durables and automobile sectors.

 

India is a favourable geography for alloy steel production owing to low per capita ownership of automobiles, rising

disposable incomes, attractive financing schemes and sustained growth in automobiles ownership. The Indian automobile sector, the second-fastest growing auto market after China, with over a million vehicles annual capacity, emerged as the country’s prime alloy steel consumer followed by the Indian Railways and Defence sectors. Automobile and auto components sector: The Indian auto component industry exports are expected to grow rapidly based on competitiveness and quality. With local demand also growing, manufacturers are establishing plants to cater to local and export demand. In 2009, the Indian auto components industry projected a total turnover of US$20 billion (exports around US$4 billion) and by 2016, turnover is expected to more than double to US$45 billion (exports US$25 billion) according to Business Line, 12.01.2010. The government's Automotive Mission Plan 2006-16 set a modest component export target of US$25 billion by 2016 with the size of

the domestic auto components industry expected to grow to US$40-45 billion by then (Source: Business Line, 12.02.2010). Among major automakers, Hyundai uses India as an export base for Europe, while Maruti Suzuki manufactures the A-star for Nissan (Pixo) in Europe and Volkswagen intends to make India its components export hub in five years.

 

Construction sector: Construction activity is an integral part of a country’s growth. The Indian construction sector growth declined from 10% in 2008 to 5.9% in 2009. However, following the economic rebound, the construction sector’s contribution to GDP increased from 5.9% in 2008-09 to 6.5% in 2009-10 (Source: Economic Survey, 2009-10). The Tenth Plan investment of US$217 billion increased 2.36 times to US$514 billion in the Eleventh Five Year Plan and an estimated US$1010 billion the Twelfth Five Year Plan (Source: infrastructure.gov.in). These investments will be progressively invested in the modernisation and upgradation of roads and highways, railways, metro railway, real estate, power sector, rural roads, ports, airports, telecom, IT, irrigation and urban infrastructure. In just 10 years, India will graduate from the world’s ninth-largest construction market to the third (Source: A Decadal Forecast from Global Construction Perspectives and Oxford Economics). By 2020, the country’s construction market will be worth almost US$650 million (5% of the world’s total construction output).

 

Forgings sector: The Indian forgings industry evolved as a major contributor to the manufacturing sector. The key demand driver is the automobile industry with applications in cars, suspension and steering systems among others. The other industries that use forgings include Railways, Defence, oil exploration, cement, steel and other engineering industries. The organized sector accounts for about 65-70% of the total forgings production in the country, while unorganised players (small units) cater mainly to job work and the replacement market (Source: www.indianforging.org). Based on automobile sector growth, it is estimated that forgings production will touch 12.1 lakh tons by FY2010, strengthening forging-driven alloy-steel demand from an estimated 12.8 lakh tons in 2007-08 to 15.5 lakh tons by 2009-10 (Source: KRC Research). Oil and gas sector: In India, the penetration level of pipelines in oil and gas transportation is low at 32% with 59% in USA and 79% globally. The gas transmission network comprises around 8,400 km trunk pipelines and 2,500 km of regional network totaling around 10,900 km with a capacity of around 270 mmscmd (Source: Indian Infrastructure, April 2010). As of April 2009, the length of crude oil pipelines in India was 11,665 km with a capacity of 107.68 MT. The sharp run-up in oil prices in recent years led to an increase in exploration and production (E and P) activity, increasing the need to widen the country’s logistics infrastructure to transport and market oil and gas through a larger pipeline.

 

Power sector: India is the world’s sixth largest energy consumer with an installed capacity of 1,59,398.49 MW (as on 31.03..2010), accounting for about 3.5% of the world’s total annual energy consumption. However, per capita consumption of energy was low at 631 kwh compared to the global per capita consumption of 2873 kwh. Peak deficit at around 15% indicated a large shortage of electricity. Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) is the flagship programme of the government with an objective to provide electricity to all villages and rural households. The budgetary provision in the Eleventh Five Year Plan for the programme is Rs. 280000.000 millions for providing electricity to all households, electrification of 1.15 lakh un-electrified villages and offering electricity connections to around 23.400 cr BPL households. There is an investment requirement of US$167 billion in India’s

power sector for 2007-12 (Eleventh Plan), which, when commissioned, will catalyse the demand for steel.

 

Railways sector: The investment of the US$18 billion Indian Railways industry was US$29.91 billion in the Tenth Plan, which increased by 118% in the Eleventh Five Year Plan to US$65.45 billion (Source: Planning Commission). Going ahead, private investment in railways could increase from the current US$217.88 million to US$1.08 billion in three years (Source: IBEF). Moreover, the World Bank is planning to finance the international expansion of Indian Railways to bring transport infrastructure to African countries and other developing nations. The World Bank earmarked US$2 billion for the project (Source: IBEF).

 

STEEL

Global scenario: Steel is at the Centre of economic progress. Global steel production was 1,220 MT in 2009, a decline of 8% over 2008 (Source: Ministry of Steel). China, India and the Middle East reported positive growth in

2009, despite a decline in nearly all major steel producing countries. China produced 567.8 MT of steel in 2009 and 47% of the world’s total crude steel (Source: worldsteel.org). BRIC countries accounted for 58.3% of the global steel production in 2009 over 49.6% in 2008. In 2009, production growth declined in Brazil from 2.5% in 2008 to 2.2%, in Russia from 5.2% in 2008 to 4.9%; but India grew from 4.2% in 2008 to 4.6%. The biggest improvement occurred in China where production increased from 37.7 MT to 46.6 MT in 2009.

 

Asian growth: Growth in infrastructure creation strengthened Asian steel consumption. Asia’s share of world steel production increased from 58% in 2008 to 65% in 2009, based on 790 MT of crude steel production (Source:

SEAISI). As per the World Steel Association, this recovery was made possible because of government stimulus packages and recovery in emerging Asian economies, especially China. Only Asia, the Middle East and China reported steel production growth while that in other countries declined – 33.9% in North America, 22.8% in Europe, 20.1% in South America, 11% in Africa and 26.3% in Japan (Source: SEAISI).

 

Indian overview: The iron and steel industry contributes around 2% of India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The country produced 45.775 MT of steel in the third quarter of 2009, a 2.7% growth over the previous year, making it the world’s fifth-largest steel producer. The increase in production came on the back of capacity expansion, mainly in private-sector plants and higher utilisation (Source: Economic Survey 2009).

 

Outlook: India’s finished steel demand is estimated at 70.34 MT and crude steel production at 80.23 million for the Eleventh Plan (Source: Working Group on Steel Industry set up by the Planning Commission). The scenario appears optimistic for the following reasons:

-          By 2015-16, India is expected to emerge as the world’s second-largest crude steel producer as per Ministry of Steel targets

-          India’s 2011-12 finished steel consumption is projected at 70.34 MT, production 80.23 MT and capacity 124 MT

-          Private and international companies are showing interest in investing in greenfield and brownfield projects in the country

-          Various states signed a total of 222 MoUs for planned capacity of around 276 million tons (Source: Ministry of Steel)

-          Indian steel-makers are set to make the most of the booming global demand for steel pipes and tubes with the government withdrawing the 10% duty on the exports of these products (Source: IBEF)

-          With the growing need for oil and gas transportation infrastructure, a US$118-billion opportunity is waiting to be addressed by steel manufacturers in five years (IBEF)

 

STAINLESS STEEL

Stainless Steel is an Alloy Made of two or more chemical elements used in applications with high corrosionresistant properties owing to chromium content (around 11-20% of the alloy). When combined with oxygen, chromium forms a chrome-oxide surface that resists oxidation (staining or rusting). The addition of nickel strengthens corrosion resistance. The presence of molybdenum (Mo) improves localised corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is manufactured in three grades – series 200, 300 and 400.

 

Global overview:

Stainless steel represents less than 2% of global steel production. World stainless steel production fell to its lowest level since 2000 to 4.8 million tons in Q1 2009, owing to poor demand from the global construction and automotive sectors. Global production tumbled 40% in Q1 2009, except in China where it declined only 10.3%. Global production in 2009 was 24.5 mn tons, a 5.41% decline from 2008.

 

Indian overview: India is the world’s fifth-largest stainless steel consumer; domestic consumption grew at a CAGR of 13% over the last decade. Almost 76% of the stainless steel production in India was consumed domestically while the rest was exported (Source: Microsec Research). India – producing 1.8-2 MT, consuming 2.2 MT and exporting 0.2 MT annually – ranks tenth among the world’s stainless steel producers. The domestic per capita stainless steel consumption is 1.2 kg, compared with a 9.4 kg global average per capita consumption (Source: Stainless-steelworld. net, ISDO). Modern construction like glass and steel buildings require quality steel with high manganese content.

 

Growth drivers

-          India’s per capita income increased from Rs. 0.039 million in 2008-09 to Rs. 0.041 million in 2009-10, an increase of 5.3% over the previous year (Source: Economic Survey, 2009-10)

-          The Commonwealth Games 2010 in New Delhi increased the off take of stainless steel in the construction of new buildings and stadium

-          Infrastructure investment will be Rs. 20270000.000 millions in the Eleventh Plan, increasing to around Rs. 50000000.000 millions in the Twelfth Plan

 

Outlook: The major sectors to drive the stainless steel industry will be process, construction, railways, infrastructure, durables, and automobile sectors. New airport and railway metro projects will require large stainless steel quantities.

RAW MATERIAL MANAGEMENT

Highlights, 2009-10

-          Stabilised freight costs through multivendor development

-          Created a railway siding for stronger logistics management

 

Overview

In the business of steel manufacture, where four tons of raw material are required to manufacture a ton of the end-product, it is critical to aggregate all raw material sources proximate to steel manufacture and ensure that material is available at all times for continuous process manufacture.

 

The Company’s strategic location in Sundergarh, Orissa, makes it possible for 90% of all raw materials (iron ore,

coal, coke, limestone, power, and manganese ore, among others) to be procured from within 200 km of its manufacturing unit.

 

Iron ore: Adhunik’s captive iron ore mine in Keonjhar (Orissa) is expected to start in the second half of FY 2011. This will meet around 15% of the total required of iron ore in FY 2011, which will increase to 60% in FY 2012. The

Company’s captive iron ore mine possesses an estimated reserve of 25 mn tons and is expected to provide material for 30 years. Currently 40% of the requirement is procured from the merchant mines of OMML, which are

only 120 km away.

 

Coal: The Company procures noncoking coal through a linkage with Mahanadi Coalfields Limited and eauction. Coking coal is imported from Australia through long-term contracts. The Company was allocated a coal mine in Talcher (estimated reserve of 31 mn tons) which is expected to commence operations in FY 2013.

 

Limestone: The Company procures limestone and dolomite from the Katni and Gomadi mines and captively from

United Minerals (partnership status). Manganese ore: The Company sources manganese from OMML’s 807-hectare Patmunda mine, one of the largest of its kind in India (manganese content 22% to 52%).

 

Power: The Company meets 40% of its power requirement from its 34-MW captive power plant and the rest from

the state grid.

 

Quality
