The Company currently has a capacity to produce 0.6 Million MT/Annum of Cold Rolled Steel at Sahibabad Works and 0.4 Million MT/Annum of Cold Rolled Steel at Khopoli Works and out of that 0.25 Million MT/Annum of Galvanized Steel. 

 
The plants of the company are at Sahibabad, Uttar Pradesh and Khopali, Maharashtra. The company entered into an agreement with Preussang Handel, Germany, a leading metal trading house, to buy a major part of BSS production. 
 
The company's has strong presence in U.S.A., China, Ethiopia, U.A.E., Myanmar, Senegal, Iran, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi and African Countries. 

 
Subject was incorporated on 7th January 1983, under the name of Jawahar Metal Industries Private Limited for the manufacture of cold rolled steel strips and steel ingots at Sahibabad Industrial Area, District Ghaziabad. The company was taken over by Brij Bhushan Singhal and his sons Sanjay Singhal and Neeraj Singhal by acquiring the entire share capital of the company. The company was renamed as Bhushan Steel and Strips (BSS) after diversifying into wide-width cold-rolled (CR) steel strips in 1992 and the cold rolling plant was also completed in the same year. 

 
Subject came out with its first public issue in 1993 to finance its forward integration project for the manufacture of 100000 tpa of continuous annealed/galvanised steel strips. It tapped the capital market for the second time in Apr.'95, to part-finance the setting up of facilities to manufacture an additional 150000 tpa of CRCA and 40,000 tpa of GP/GC sheets. 

 
The company commissioned galvanising plant in January 1994 with a capacity to manufacture 120000 tonnes per annum of wide width cold rolled steel strips and 100000 tonnes per annum of galvanised sheets. In the same year 1994, the company also proposed to set up an integrated steel plant for manufacture of 1.2 Million Tonnes per year of H R Coils at Daitari in the State of Orissa. The company also engaged Metallurgical and Engineering Consultants Limited as engineering consultants for setting up of the integrated plant.

In 1998, the company proposed to setup two steel cold rolling and galvanising units - one near Haldia and the other at Patalganga, near Mumbai. The company also commissioned a cold rolled steel plant at Ghaziabad, in collaboration with Sumitomo of Japan, to cater to the needs of the automotive sector 

 
During 1999, the company also set up a dedicated service centre for large OEM customers at Sahibabad. 
 
The company approved amalgamation of Bhushan Limited with the company in 2000. But later the proposal for amalgamation was withdrawn in 2003-2004. 

 
During 2000-01, the company implemented the expansion project of 250000 tpa of Cold Rolling Cum Galvanising and Tube Complex in Khopoli, Maharashtra at cost of Rs. 4860 Million. During 2004-05, the status of the project is that this has been fully commissioned and the company has also commissioned the Cold Rolled (Narrow) and Pipe plant at Sahibabad. In 2003, the company entered into a strategic alliance with Sumitomo Metal Industries of Japan under which, the latter has further extended process know-how for the manufacture of automotive steel sheets for a period of six years 

 
During 2004-05, the company planned to commence additional manufacturing facilities at its plant situated at Khopoli (Maharashtra) in respect of the production of prepainted galvanized material(PPGI).The capacity of the line would be approximately 120000 MT per annum making it the largest line in India. During 2004-05, the company is in the process of implementing an integrated steel project in the State of Orissa and the part of the project includes capacities for production of Sponge Iron and Billets is envisaged to start from April, 2006.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

The Steel industry is divided into primary and secondary sectors. The primary sector products are Billets, Plates, Rounds and Hot Rolled Coils/Plates (HRC/HRP). These form raw material for the secondary sector, which produces value added items such as Angles, Channels, Wire Rod, Cold Rolled Coils/Sheets (CRC/CRS) and Galvanised Coils/Sheet. CR Sheet is a thinner sheet used for consumer durables like refrigerators, washing machines, automobiles, bicycles, etc. CR Sheets are used by the automobile and domestic appliances industry whereas CR strips are used in manufacturing of bicycles, drums, barrel, fabrication, furniture etc. CR Coils are mainly used for manufacturing GP/GC sheets. Bhushan Steel Limited which so far falls under secondary sector, also entered in primary sector with the setting up plant at Orissa.

 

Flat Products

 

Derived from Slabs, this category includes plates and Hot Rolled (HR) steel such as Coils/ Sheets. While plates are used for applications such as shipbuilding etc., HR Steel is the most widely used variety for steel, and other downstream flat products such as Cold Rolled (CR) Steel and Galvanised Steel are made from it.

 

Long products

 

These products derive their name from their shape. They are made by using billets and blooms and include rods, bars, pipes, ropes and wires, which are used largely by the housing/ construction sector.

 

Global Steel Industry

 

Global crude steel production reached a new height during 2010 at 1414 million metric tonnes, up by 15% over 2009. While china maintained the lead position in terms of volume of steel produced, with a growth of 9.3%, most of the negative growths seen in the steel producing nations hit by the economic downturn in 2009 reversed during 2010 and they recorded positive double digit growths during the year.

 

There was a recovery in the global economy in 2010 characterized by:

 

- Moderate growth in advanced economies, spurred by stimulus measures, private consumption which fell sharply during the crisis picked up.

 

- Growth in emerging and developing economies remained robust buoyed by resurgent capital inflows due to abundant global liquidity and strong domestic demand.

 

- Global liquidity improved, credit spreads narrowed, equity and debt capital markets opening up enabling several corporations to raise capital to meet funding requirements.

 

The global economy is on the recovery path while advanced economies are expected to pick up growth momentum. The emerging economies will consolidate with moderate growth as the focus is shifted to contain inflation rather than pursuing growth.

 

The global steel industry, like many other sectors, sailed into this decade in a largely radar less state, with different economies having been affected differently by the global financial crisis. Notwithstanding the stimulus programmes announced by various governments, the post-crisis economic situations in many developed countries have remained grim with uncertainties regarding their economic recovery and its sustenance. Given the inextricable linkage of steel with economic growth, this also meant an uncertainty in the growth of steel demand across the world and the performance of the steel industries. While China could be credited in large part for reviving the global demand for commodities after the crisis, the unpredictability of the strategies of the Chinese government and the absence of enough information about its economy has added to the uncertainty. Nonetheless, the crisis brought about some structural changes in the global steel industry, most prominently in the production pattern worldwide. Apart from China, the steel industries in the emerging economies 'emerged' decisively as hubs of activity for the future, given adequate growth opportunities in their domestic market as well as lower cost of production relative to the mature economies, which have already run their domestic market as well as lower cost of production relative to the mature economies, which have already run their course in previous decades. Among such countries, India is one of the most attractively positioned with its vast resources of iron ore and low costs underpinning its supply-side competencies, while the low per capita consumption levels and strong growth drivers in the end use sectors, facilitated by a positive all-round environment, ensure reasonably stable growth prospects for the overall steel industry.

 

China - an Economic Power

 

From the late 90's, China, through its market and social reform programmes, emerged on the world steel map and has since graduated to the largest steel player in the world. China which contributes 45% to global steel consumption and production, plays a crucial role in the global steel industry. Worldwide growth in steel demand in the past 7-8 years has been driven by robust growth in Chinese steel consumption. The previous decades was the game changeover for the Chinese steel industry, with crude steel production growing at17% CAGR against the world average of 5% CAGR over the same period. China's dominance in the world steel production increased from 15% of the global market in 2000 to a commanding44% in 2010.

 

However, economic growth slowed to 10.3% in 1QFY11 and further to 9.6% in 2QFY11 from11.9% in Q4FY10, as China rolled back its stimulus after rebounding from the global slump and monetary tightening measures.

 

According to CISA's statistics, China's crude steel output reached a new high of 627million tonnes in 2010 after the industry's average annual growth rate slowed to 12%during the 11th Five year plan period from 2006 to 2010, compared to 22.6 percent from2001 to 2005.

 

INDIAN STEEL SCENARIO

 

Over the past decade, India has emerged as a major participant in the global steel market, both as one of the most rapidly growing consumption centers, as also a significant supply-side player to reckon with. The country is at an inflection point, where its buoyant economic situation and natural competencies promise to usher in an era of sustained high growth rates for steel industry, facilitated by the government's initiatives to create a supportive environment for its end user sectors. These are, nonetheless, tempered by uncertainties regarding the swiftness with which pending structural bottlenecks can be removed, and clarity on policy issues concerning the upstream mining sector(like land acquisition, allotment of mines, iron ore exports, etc.)can be achieved.

 

The drive to industrialize has made Asia the region with the world's highest steel production and highest steel demand. China and India have largely driven the growth in steel consumption and production in Asia. The Indian steel industry has expanded rapidly and diversified remarkably in the last decade, in line with the healthy growth in GDP. After witnessing a dip in FY09 to 6.7%, India's GDP growth rose to 7.4% in FY10. India has been one of fastest growing steel markets in the world in recent times, its apparent consumption of steel having grown at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8% over the period FY2005 to FY2010. In the first six months of 2010-11, the consumption grew by9.8% over the corresponding figure in previous year. Nonetheless, India's per capita steel consumption is significantly lower than other major steel consuming nations.

 

Over the period 2003-09, the per capita consumption of steel in India has improved from31 Kg per annum to 48 Kg per annum, a CAGR of 7.3%. However, the level is still substantially lower than China (410) and the developed countries (US: 187; EU: 214 and JAPAN: 419).

 

SECTORAL DRIVERS

 

The growth in steel demand in India is being driven by the country's economic growth, which in turn is largely being influenced by the Government's spending on infrastructure development, growth in the real estate sector and continued firmness in the demand from other steel-consuming sectors like capital good, automobile and consumer durables. The country's Index of Industrial Production (IIP) has grown at an annualized rate of 8.8% as seen in figure 10, and steel production has also been increasing simultaneously.

 

The country's overall steel consumption is distributed across various sectors. However, while flat steel products are more equitably distributed among automotive, infrastructure, steel pipes and construction, the use of long steel products is concentrated mainly in real estate and infrastructure sectors.

 

Challenges for the Indian Steel Industry

 

Iron ore: Although, India has the world's 8th largest reserve of iron ore and is the 4th largest iron ore producer globally, it exports about 54% of its production to other steel making nations-draining the nation of this precious natural resource and simultaneously importing steel from other countries. Since iron ore mines are not allotted to steel producers or approval for mining leases are delayed inordinately for value addition, no meaningful investment on the ground in the steel sector is happening to add new steel capacities.

 

Coking coal: A primary ingredient for steel making, is in short supply. It accounts for only 12% of India's total coal reserves. Further, government delays in allotting coal blocks for captive consumption by steel manufacturers is severely impacting the competitive edge of the Indian steel sector. India's coking coal imports surged 39% between 2009-10 to 2010-11. This reflects the import dependency of 62% in 2010-11. The import of coking coal is expected to go up to 42 MnT by 2011-12 from the current level of32 MnT. As an alternative solution, Indian steel producers acquired or on the lookout to acquire coal assets globally. As the operationalization of these assets takes considerable time, steel producers are beset with the problem of shortage of coking coal and they are constrained to import most of this coking coal requirement at exhorbitant prices.

 

Water: 1 tonne of steel production requires around 2.6 cubic metres of water, depending upon recycling of efficiency levels. Accordingly, water as a resource, is immensely significant for producing steel.

 

Logistics: Every 1 tonne of steel generates a traffic of around 5 tonnes including the inbound and outbound material flow. Accordingly, logistic infrastructure is of immense importance for the Indian steel sector for a number of reasons 1) raw material needs to be met largely through imports, 2) steel consumption is widely dispersed across the country involving transportation of finished steel to consumption locations and 3) high logistics costs make transportation a huge challenge. The Indian railway network is inadequate; rakes are in short supply and port infrastructure is unable to cope up with increased volumes. Increasing fuel prices makes road transport costs prohibitive.

 

Expansion clearances: Land allocation, Mining leases, Environment and Forest clearances and Infrastructure connectivity for Greenfield expansions remain the major challenges impacting the creation of new capacities.

 

Product development: India's steel industry expenditure in R and D is still below1% of its total turnover. As the economy matures there is a growing need for special grades of steel like Boiler quality, API, Auto grade, requiring greater attention ontechnology and R and D.

 

Based on the recommendations of the Working Group on Steel Industry, a new scheme i.e., Scheme for Promotion of R and D in Iron and Steel Sector has begun with an outlay of Rs.1180.000 millions for the 11th Five Year plan. Under this scheme, R and D is being pursued in three major areas namely:

 

* Development of innovative/path breaking technologies.

* Beneficiation and utilising of Indian iron ore fines and non-coking coal.

* Improvement of steel quality produced through induction furnace route.

 

Environment: Environment management and energy efficiency constitute an important benchmark for assessing any sector or company performance, both globally and in India. The Ministry of Steel through various schemes and regulations by the government is facilitating reduction in energy consumption and emission levels.

 

Bhushan Steel Limited has taken steps in each of these areas to remain competitive.

 

COMPANY'S PROSPECTS

 

The company is on steel growth trajectory, led by strong volume growth and backward integration:

 

The company commenced the implementation of its integrated steel plant at Meramandali, Orissa in January 2005 as a backward integration to produce HR Coils in phased manner. The Phase I of the Green field integrated steel plant started commercial production in 2007with production facilities of Billets (300000 tpa), and power plant (110 MW). The phase II of the project has been completely installed with the production capacity of Hot Roll Coil Mill (1.90 Mtpa). With the start up of HR plant of 1.9 MTPA at Orissa the company's dependence on others to supply us primary steel ended up resulting in full control of margins.

 

With the Orissa expansion project, the company is transforming from steel converter to a primary steel producer, with capacity of 4.7 MTPA by FY 2013 and with the commissioning of the phase I and phase II (Blast Furnace and HRC mill) at Orissa in March 2010, FY 2011was the first year of primary steel making. BSL also enjoys the distinction of being the only company in India, which has been successful in setting up a Greenfield project in the past decades.

 

Most Modern integrated steel and Power Complex:

 

• Deploys best available technologies, thereby enabling Bhushan Steel to produce:

Auto Grade HR Coil for the first time in India.

Technical assistance from Sumitomo Metals, Japan.

Allocation of captive mines for iron ore, thermal coal and coking coal.

 

The Company's Brownfield project Phase III at Orissa is scheduled for completion in October 2012 which is envisaging setting up of 2.5 MTPA HRC Capacity in addition to Phase II capacity to ensure optimum utilization of infrastructure and resources at the existing plant to utilize the full capacity of Hot Rolling (HR) mill being implemented. The total HRC of the company shall be 4.4 MTPA once the project will be completed.

 

The Company has been allocated Iron Ore Mines and Coal Mines by the Orissa Government. The work on these has been started and the mines are likely to be operational within 2-3years. The Company has also acquired sizeable stake in Bowen Energy Ltd, Australia, which has the license for exploring coking coal mines in Queensland, Australia. Thus, going forward the Company is expected to improve the profitability.

 

PERFORMANCE

 

The company is engaged in Steel business, which is context of Accounting Standard(AS)-17 issued by the institute of Chartered Accountants of India is considered the only business segment. The overall operational performance of the company has been much satisfactory during the year. The plants have operated optimally during the year and there were no major break downs or shutdowns.

INDIAN FIRMS RAISE US$3.7 BLN IN AUGUST THROUGH ECBS, FCCBS

 

Asia Pulse Businesswire


05 October 2011

 

MUMBAI, Oct 5Asia Pulse - Corporate India raised over US$3.7 billion from overseas markets in August through external commercial borrowings (ECBs) and foreign currency convertible bonds (FCCBs).

 

Around 70 companies raised over US$2.68 billion for various projects through the automatic route, which does not require RBI's or the government approval.

 

Another US$1.02 billion were raised through the approval route, according to latest Reserve Bank data.

 

Auto giant Tata motors alone raised US$500 million through ECBs for its rupee expenditure.

 

Similarly, state-owned Steel Authority of India (SAIL, BSE:500113) mopped up US$500 million in two tranches through ECBs during the month for modernisation of projects. Electro steel Castings raised US$200 million for the same purpose.

 

Corporate, registered under the Companies Act, 1956, were earlier allowed to access ECBs up to US$500 million in a financial year under the automatic route. The ECB, which is not covered by the automatic route, is considered under the approval route on a case-by-case basis by the Reserve Bank.

 

However, last month the government raised the limit of external borrowings, with tenure of 5 years or more under the automatic route, to US$750 million.

 

For the services sector, the ECB limit under the automatic route was doubled to US$200 million and for NGOs from US$5 million to US$10 million.

 

ECBs are used as an additional source of funding by Indian corporate to augment resources available domestically.

 

FCCBs are also governed by norms similar to ECBs.

India, Oct. 05 -- According to the data released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in the month of August, the external commercial borrowings (ECBs) by the Indian companies declined by $500 million to $3.7 billion compared to $4.2 billion in month of July. Around 76 companies have raised a total of $2.7 billion through the automatic route. The remaining $1 billion was raised through approval route, which requires case-by-case approval by the regulator. Under the automatic route, Tata motors raised around $500 million for investment in capital goods and services and Steel Authority of India and Electrosteel Castings raised around $500 million and $200 million respectively for modernization. On approval route, Air India raised $366 million for importing capital goods and Rural Electrification Corporation raised $300 million for onward lending to power generating companies. Other major fund raisers in August were Idea Cellular - $150 million, and Bhushan Steel - $135 million in three tranches for various project.

During July 2011, the ECBs has showed significant increase, it had stood at $4 billion compared to just $1 billion in the July 2010. However, a slowdown in overseas is expected due to the weak global economic scenario. Along with the slowdown in global economy, the deprecation in the Indian rupee has also affected the overseas borrowing. The slowdown in industrial production is also one of the factors affecting the expansion plan of the private firms, thereby affecting the overseas borrowings. The corporate, registered under the Companies Act, 1956, were earlier allowed to access ECBs up to $500 million in a financial year under the automatic route. The ECBs, which is not covered by the automatic route, is considered under the approval route on a case-by-case basis by the RBI.
