increase in consumption of steel owing to upcoming infrastructure and Greenfield projects, highly skilled and low cost workforce etc.

 

In March 2010, the company commissioned a 128,000 TPA structural rolling mill in Raigarh to manufacture steel angles, beams, joists and channels. The manufacture of these products altered their exposure from vulnerable sectors to value added infrastructure and power sector segments.

 In October 2009, the company has received plug-in with the state utility’s 132 KVA line, which enabled to market power to the open market.

 

 Project under progress

 

The company has lined up a number of business-strengthening initiatives for 2010-11:

 

They expect to commission the first phase of the 1,15,000-tonne sponge iron plant by September 2010 and the second phase of 1,15,000 tonnes by June 2011 (financial closure achieved). This expansion will enhance their total sponge iron capacity to 0.422 Millions TPA.

 

In sync with sponge iron capacity expansion, they intend to bring on stream our 18 MW power plant (16 MW WHRB and balance based on coal). While around 30 percent of the capacity will address captive requirements, the rest will be deployed for profitable merchant sales. They expect to commission another 34 MW (thermal) by April 2012 at their Raigarh unit for merchant sales (financial closure in process).

 

They are undertaking an expansion at their coal Washery to raise their overall capacity by 3,40,000 tpa for Rs 600.000 Millions (financial closure achieved).The construction of a 2.4-km railway siding has reduced transportation costs on the one hand and eased logistics on the other.

 
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
 

Business Review

 

The Steel industry in India has been moving from strength to strength and according to the Annual Report 2009-10 by the Ministry of Steel, India has emerged as the fifth largest producer of steel in the world and is likely to become the second largest producer of crude steel by 2015-16.

 

Recently, Steel Minister, Mr. Virbhadra Singh said that India will become the world's second-largest steel producer by 2012, more than doubling its capacity to 124 million tonnes (MT) as part of the push being given to assist overall infrastructure development. Steel production rose 4.2 per cent to reach 60 MT in 2009-2010. According to the Ministry of Steel, 222 memorandum of understanding (MoUs) have been signed with various states for planned capacity of around 276 MT. Major investment plans are in Orissa, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, West Bengal, Karnataka, Gujarat and Maharashtra.

 

Domestic steel demand is expected to increase by 10% to 66 million tonnes in FY10, since it troughed in FY09. This also compares favourably with an expected 8% increase in global demand in FY10. The increase in demand from the automobiles, infrastructure and construction sectors, which account for ~ 85% of the total domestic demand, has triggered the speedy recovery. The revival has increased the demand for steel and pushed up its prices. The country’s steel consumption increased to 56.3 MT in the 12 months to March 2010 from 52.3 MT in the previous year, as per the Ministry of Steel.

 

The Financial year 2009-10 will be remembered by the company because the operating model underwent a fundamental change from one that was market-driven to one that gradually emerged as market driving. Till February 2010, the company manufactured and marketed sponge iron, MS ingots and TMT. These products were affected by demand-supply vagaries as they figured relatively low in the value chain. In March 2010, the company commissioned a 128,000 TPA Greenfield structural rolling mill in Raigarh to manufacture steel angles, beams, joists and channels. The manufacture of these products altered our exposure from vulnerable sectors to value-added infrastructure and power sector segments. This business model interplay of valueadded steel and merchant power sales will enhance our profitability and sustainability.

 

Road ahead

 

Iron and steel industry is one of the fastest growing industries in India. With great future prospects and healthy demand from all over the world, this sector offers tremendous growth prospects in the time to come. As the demand for steel is expected to grow in conventional areas, such as construction, automotive, housing, steel tubes, pipes, and packaging, this sector offers good prospects. Specialized steel will be in demand in hi-tech engineering industries. These industries include power generation, fertilizers, and the petrochemical industry. The Union Budget has hiked the allocation for development of highways and the budget allocated for railways. This further increases the need for iron and steel.

 

Performance Review of the Company

 

At subject, their respect is derived from their ability to make superior quality of steel over their ability to manufacture a growing volume. The total overall performance of the company is quite good. Here's a brief outline of the product wise performance:

 

i) Pellet Plant

 

Pellet production was 1,44,643 MT as compared to 16,486 Mt during last year

 

ii) Sponge Iron

 

The production of Sponge Iron increased to 1,55,851 MT as compared to 1,24,896 MT in the last year.

 

iii) Power Generation

 

The total power generation is 16,17,83,321 KWH as compared to 13,70,88,268 KWH during the last year.

 

iv) Ingot/Billets

 

The production of Ingot/Billets has increased to 1,07,579 MT as against last year’s production of 95,078 MT.

 

v) TMT Bars

 

The production of TMT Bar was 68,385 MT as compared to 56,506 MT during last year.

 

vi) Structural Rolling Mill

 

The trial production had just started in March 2010. The total production is 1,099 MT.

 

Outlook:

 

The Indian steel industry has made a rapid progress on strong fundamentals over the recent few years. The industry is getting all essential ingredients required for dynamic growth. The government is backing the industry through favorable industrial reforms, while the private sector is supporting it with investments worth billions of dollars. Even in the tough times of economic slowdown, the industry succeeded to sustain its positive growth momentum on the strong fundamentals of domestic demand from construction, automobile and infrastructure sectors.

 

The future of the Indian steel industry is definitely optimistic. In this journey of progress, the Indian steel industry has also taken significant steps in improvement of productivity, conservation of natural resources and energy, import substitution, quality upgradation; environment management and research and development

 

 With an impressive track record, the country has become a reputed name in the world steel industry. Global steel giants from all over the world have shown interest in the industry because of its phenomenal performance. For instance - 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.

 

 The global economic slowdown hampered the growth curve of various steel intensive industries such as construction in 2009 and its impact also fell on steel demand. However, the government proactive incentive plans to boost economic growth by injecting funds in various industries like construction, infrastructure automobile 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 its regional counterparts.

 

Financial Performance:

 

The company's performance during the year 2009-2010 can be described as one of recovery from the global economic crises.

 

Raw material costs increased faster than steel realisations, which lead to a decline in post-tax profit. However this downtrend is expected to correct; with realizations rising adding to a full year’s working of value-added structural steel capacity, The Company expects to grow profits and profitability over 2010-11 and beyond.

 

Profile

              

The year 1996. MSP Group embarked on its journey in the steel industry in a modest manner. An 18000 TPA MS Ingot plant was set up in West Bengal to utilise the waste scrap available in the market. The industry faced a downturn in the next few years.


A lesson was learnt - the key to survival lay in integration along the value chain of production. As a part of this drive a Re - Rolling mill was established in 1998 for production of high quality construction bars. Looking into the huge potential that lay in making its own raw material for steel melting, the company was among the pioneers in setting up a mini sponge iron plant in the year 1999.


Following its principle of integration and capacity expansion, the group has risen to one of the leading secondary steel manufacturers in Eastern India. Today the group has manufacturing facilities in the states of West Bengal, Orissa, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra.
