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 1995, the company came out with a rights issue of 8250000 Unsecured Zero Interest Convertible Debentures and also made a public issue of 6894800 - 14% Unsecured Fully Convertible Debentures. 

 
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 But later the proposal for amalgamation was withdrawn in 2003-2004.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.

The company is also moving into process/value chain of steel products through back integration to set up a unit for manufacture of HR Coil, Billets and Power Plant. 
 
The company’s new HR plant is at fast phase of progress and the company expects the plant to commission as per schedule. The total project comprises installation of Hot Rolled Coil and Billets along with power plant. In the first quarter of 2006-07 the company shall start 2 Klins and 33 MW power plants while in the third quarter the company shall start 2 klins and 77 MW power plants which will complete phase I of the project. The company has already spent Rs.13210 Millions on the phase I of the project and has place substantial orders for the equipments mainly with SMS Demag, Siemens, Danieli Corus, Techint, KCI Cranes, Paul Wurth, etc to be imported for phase II. 
 
The Company has raised Rs 105 million through issue of Equity shares on preferential basis for Company's integrated Steel and Power Plant being set up in the State of Orissa. The same has been utilized in full for the purpose of implementation of project. 

 

HIGHLIGHTS:

 

During the year, the Company has partially installed the Phase II of the integrated steel plant at Orissa with the production facility of Hot Roll Coil Mill (1.90 Mtpa)

 

The Company has also acquired Bowen Energy Limited, Australia through Wholly-owned subsidiary, which has coking coal mines in Queensland, Australia.

 

The total income of the Company has increased to Rs 60030.000 Millions, registering a growth of 10.96 % over previous year’s level of Rs 54100.000 Millions.

 

EXPANSION PROJECT:

 

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 had already started commercial production in 2007 with production facilities of Sponge Iron ( 680000 tpa), Billets ( 300000 tpa), and power plant ( 110 MW). The phase II of this project has also been partially installed with the production capacity of Hot Roll Coil Mill (1.90 Mtpa) . With this the implementation risk attached with Phase II of Orissa project has been mitigated. They are the only major player to complete the Greenfield steel project of 3 Million Tonne in India during last 14-15 years.

 

Production of HR Coil from this project is being utilized capitively in the Sahibabad and Khopoli Plants for manufacturing CR Coils, Colour Coated Sheets etc. which will help in improving EBITDA per tonne significantly of the Company in years to come. Captive use of HR Coils will also remove the off take/marketing risk of the Orissa Plant and will help the Company in mitigating the risk of main raw material i.e. HR Coil.

 

The Company has been allocated Iron Ore Mines and Coal Mines by the Orissa Government, the initial statutory clearances and land acquisition work on both the mines have started. Both the Mines are likely to be operational within a period of two to three years.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE and DEVELOPMENTS

 

The Indian steel industry is divided into Integrated producers and Secondary producers. Integrated steel producers have traditionally integrated steel units have captive plants for iron ore and coke, which are main inputs to these units. The integrated producers constitute most of the mild steel production in India. Their main products include flat steel products such as Hot Rolled, Cold Rolled and Galvanised steel. They also produce long and special steel in small quantities.

 

Secondary producers use steel scrap or sponge iron/direct reduced iron (DRI) or hot briquetted iron (HBI). It comprises mainly Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) and Induction Furnace (IF) units, apart from other manufacturing units like the independent hot and cold rolling units, rerolling units, galvanizing and tin plating units, sponge iron producers, pig iron producers, etc. Secondary producers largely produce long steel products.

 

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

 

The year 2008-09 has been unprecedented for the steel industry, initially started on a positive note with steel demand and prices reaching historic peaks. However, this upward trend for the global steel industry was halted by the impact of a downswing in economic activities and got reflected in the sharp decline in production by almost all major steel producers of the world Throughout 2008-09 steel industry continued to be under demand and margin pressure across the globe.

 

Advanced economies buckled under pressure of large inventories coupled with stand still demand; the rest of the world (excluding China and India) suffocated under low domestic demand; their high degree of export dependency on the Advanced world added to their woes. This reconfirmed the concept of increasing global integration and global trade coupling (except China and India).

 

Crude Steel Production

 

World crude steel production declined by 8% from 1,329 million tonnes in 2008 to 1,223 million tonnes for the year of 2009. Steel production declined in nearly all the major steel producing countries and regions including the EU, North America, South America and the CIS in 2009. However, Asia in particular China and India, and the Middle East showed positive growth in 2009. Asia produced 799 Million tonnes of crude steel in 2009, an increase of 3.6% compared to 2008; its share of world steel production increased to 65% in 2009 from 58% in 2008.

 

Steel Consumption

 

The global economic and financial crisis impacted steel consumption- It declined by 6.7% from 1202 mn tonnes in 2008 to 1,121 mn tonnes in 2009. Of the consumption, 50% was flats (largely consumption led demand) and 50% was long products (largely infrastructure driven demand). World consumption of finished steel excluding BRIC countries registered a decline of 26.8% in 2009. Steel consumption of BRIC countries grew by 18% largely due to the massive consumption of steel from China to satiate stimulated domestic demand.

 

In 2009, the top 10 nations accounted for 77% of the steel consumption – their consumption registered a 2.8% CAGR during 2004 to 2009.

 

Global Steel Trade

 

The impact of the global crisis loomed large on global trade of steel which declined about 30% (estimated at 300 mn tonnes). This was largely due to the relatively high dependence of the emerging world on the advanced world which collapsed under the pressure of the global meltdown. As a result, the export dependency on the advanced world declined substantially which was compensated by stimulated domestic demand in emerging economies especially China and India.

 

China – an Economic Power

 

China, the new Economic Power, played as global economic savior in 2009, preventing the world economy from expected decline. Aggressive fiscal and monetary stimulus in 2009 offset much of the impact of the global recession. After a relatively weak first quarter (January- March 2009), the economy accelerated to register a 8.7% growth in GDP, strengthening its position as the world’s fastest growth economy. But this, when compared with the double –digit expansion during 2003-07 and the 9.6% growth in 2008, reflects the global meltdown effect on China.

 

In 2009, the Chinese economy was driven largely by public investment. The Chinese Government pumped in US$ 1.4 trillion as loan to the economy (to industry and individuals) against US$ 0.6 trillion in 2008 which facilitated infrastructure creation. Consequently, the fixed investment to GDP ratio grew 58% in 2009 against 49% in 2008, the highest in three decades.

 

In line with the global meltdown, China reduced its dependence on exports, especially to advanced economies which were significantly affected than other geographies. Consequently, export dependency declined from 32% in 2008 to 24% in 2009; exports to advanced economies dropped to about 15% of total exports in 2009 against 24% in 2008; overall exports in value terms declined from US$ 1,428 billion in 2008 to around 1,200 billion in 2009. Despite this drop, China dominated global trade and emerged as the world’s largest merchandise exporter, leveraging its cost competency against peer nations.

 

The focus on the domestic market was reflected in a number of statistics. Real incomes grew 9.8% in urban areas and 8.5% in rural areas. Further, government incentivized car purchase scheme and accelerated automotive sales to 13.6 mn units (China emerged as the world’s largest car producer in 2009). Incentives by local governments accelerated housing demand (housing accounts for a lion’s share of the Chinese revenue), boosting land sale incomes by about 60% to US$233 billion in 2009.

 

Intelligent crisis management by the Chinese Government strengthened its brand as the preferred investment destination, owing to which, FDI into China declined byUS$ 2 billion ( from US$ 92 billion 2008 to US$ 90 billion 2009) compared with a 39% world- over decline and 47% collapse in advanced economies. Consequently, even in a gloomy global scenario, china’s forex reserves ballooned from US$ 1.95 trillion as on December 31, 2008 to US$ 2.45 trillion as on December 31, 2009.

 

Indian Economy

 

India registered a strong come-back in 2009-10 displaying its ability to withstand extreme external adversities, which destabilized major economies. India recorded a GDP growth of 7.2% in 2009-10 against 6.7% in 2008-09. This was largely due to timely economic stimulus fueling investment and consumption. The key drivers to India’s economic growth during the year 2009-10 were:

 

• Strong IIP Growth: 10.4%

• Core Infrastructure Industry Growth: 5.5%

• Automobile Production: 26%

 

Capitalizing on the high degree of domestic dependency, low credit leverage and debt exposure and the Government’s thrust on infrastructure creation are expected to accelerate the Indian economy in 2010-11 and beyond. Preliminary guidance by the Central Government for the economic growth in 2010-11 is estimated at 8.2% and 9% in 2011-12.

 

Indian Steel Industry

 

Indian steel industry stood out in the global steel industry due to its resilience during the downturn. While the steel production in the world dipped by 8% in 2009, it registered a growth of around 4% in this period.

 

This clearly demonstrates India’s strong domestic consumption story. Even though the real estate and housing sector showed marked decline during this period, the same was compensated by sustained growth in sectors like infrastructure, manufacturing and automobile. Government intervention in the form of fiscal stimulus helped to propel growth in the end user industry.

 

India is the 5th Largest producer of steel in the world and it was expected that it will become 2nd largest by 2015 on the back of the capacity addition. India is also the world’s largest producer of DRI with around 21 Mn tonnes of production during 2009-10.

 

India’s per capita steel consumption is 48 kg in F.Y. 2009-10 compared to the world average of 190 kg. Within the country the semiurban and rural sector has significant growth opportunities due to its low per capita consumption as compared to urban area.

 

The growth in demand for steel has outpaced the growth in production, leading to increased import dependency. The CAGR for production during the given period is 6.5% and CAGR for consumption is 9.1%.

 

Slow pace in creation of incremental capacities and rising demand made the country a net importer of steel. The net import of steel stood at 4.0 million tonnes that grew at a CAGR of 26% from 2004-05 to 2009-10, and export registered a declining trend of 8% from 2004-05 to 2009-10.

 

To make up this demand supply mismatch various Brownfield and Greenfield expansion programmes are announced. The capacity addition by various Indian steel producers as well as foreign producers are on the anvil. Around 222 MoUs have been signed by the various steel players with the State Government to set up an additional capacity of 275 Mn tonnes by 2020.

 

Challenges for The Indian Steel Industry

 

Exports of Iron ore

 

India is the 4th largest producer which produced 226 million tonnes of iron ore during 2009-10. In terms of reserves, India has 8th largest reserve worldwide. However iron ore industry in India is small as compared to its global counterpart, although country has 4% of world reserves. Iron ore exports registered a 6% CAGR over the last five years which constitute 47% of iron ore produced in the country.

 

Coal Dependency

 

India prime and medium coking coal constitutes around 12% of the total reserves in the country. The country produced 33 Mn tonnes coking coal during 2008-09 which was just 7% of total coal produced in the country. The country is deficient in coking coal and largely depends on import. However some integrated players like Tata Steel and SAIL have 60% and 30% captive availability of coal. Coking coal imports into India are growing at a CAGR of around 10% from 2004-05 to 2008-09. various Indian steel companies are scouting to acquire mining concessions for raw material security required for their existing units and for expansion plans.

 

Logistics

 

Inadequate infrastructure and logistics have significantly impacted the steel industry. Every ton of steel produced involves transportation of approximately 5 tonnes of materials. This implies that by 2020 around 1000 million tonnes of material is required to be transported. This requires a huge investment in key infrastructure including railways, ports and highways.

 

Raw Material Prices

 

The escalating raw material prices during 2009-10 caused immense pressure on cost of production of integrated steel producers as well as secondary steel producers. The steel producers are heavily dependent on coking coal import, and the price rise by Iron Ore and coking coal majors has impacted the margins of the Indian steel producers. The largest Long Term Agreement Price for coking coal has escalated from US$ 129 to US$ 200 with shift to quarterly pricing and for iron ore the hike was from 90% to 100%.

 

COMPANY’S PROSPECTS

 

Bhushan Steel Limited (BSL) is assiduously working on joining the league of the fastest and most scalable steel producers in India. Currently, BSL is a leading secondary steel producer with presence in high value-added automobile and white goods segment (outer/ skin panels, etc). BSL’s strengths in valued-added secondary flat steel product offerings – to the niche automobile and white goods segments – are validated by its marquee client roster. BSL is now backward integrating into HR production, with a 4.7mtpa steel project in progress in the mineral-rich state of Orissa. BSL has also chalked out a strategic plan to eventually ensure raw material sourcing from captive mines.

 

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 2007 with production facilities of Sponge Iron ( 680000 tpa), Billets ( 300000 tpa), and power plant (110 MW). The phase II of the project has been partially installed with the production capacity of Hot Roll Coil Mill ( 1.90 Mtpa ) .

 

The Company’s Brownfield project Phase III at Orissa is scheduled for completion in October 2012 which is envisaging setting up of 3 MTPA Crude Steel 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 steel making capacity of the Company shall be 4.7 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 both the mines have started and are likely be operational within two years time. The Company has also acquired Bowen Energy Limited, 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

BSL Board Approves Further Expansion Plans           

 

Bhushan Steel Limited announced that its board of directors in a meeting held on January 22nd 2007 has approved the following projects.

 

                         

 1. Setting up of Integrated Steel Plant in the state of West Bengal for with facilities including slab      plant, coke ovens and captive power plant etc  

             

2. To set up a 6 million tonne per annum integrated steel plant as an expansion of its existing plant     being set up at Meramandali in Orissa.    

 

BSL May setup Steel Plant In West Bengal – Report    

                         

ET has reported that Bhushan Steel Limited is considering to sign a MoU with West Bengal government to set up a 2 million tonne per annum steel plant in the state along with a 1,000 MW thermal power project by its subsidiary Bhushan Energy in the state    

                         

Mr Neeraj Singal MD of BSL told ET that “We have identified the location for the projects and it will be near a coal pit head. Talks are also on for a captive coal block.”         

                         

BSL is already implementing an INR 5,000 crore steel project with capacity of producing 2.2 million tonne of steel in Orissa and the 1st phase of the project of 500,000 tonnes capacity will be completed by March 2007 and the whole project should be completed by 2009.         

                         

Chhattisgarh Government Signs MoUs For Power Plants    

                         

Chhattisgarh Govt. has signed MOU with Bhushan Energy Limited for setting up 1000MW Power Plant with an investment of INR  40Billion.     

                         

Dr Raman Singh Chief Minister of Chattisgarh said that Chhattisgarh is on track of becoming the country's power hub by 2011. He said “Chhattisgarh has the potential to meet the power demand of the whole nation. Several major domestic investors are lining up to set up thermal plants.”           

 

 

Profile:

 

Amongst the various reasons behind BSL's unprecedented growth and rapid integration on the steel value chain, perhaps, the most important would be its unwavering focus on acquiring the latest technology and know-how. The most important reason behind this focus has been BSL's commitment to provide its customers with the best quality products. The result, to say the least, has been awe-inspring growth.        

             

The Khopoli plant, commissioned in 2004 has been playing a remarkable role not only in the growth of exports, but in the production of a much wider variety of value added steel like Colour Coated Sheets, High Tensile Steel Strappings, Hardened and Tempered Strips and Precision Tubes. In addition to these, the Khopoli plant has recently launched the Galume value added steel (Aluminium and Zinc Coated Sheet) for the first time in the country.           

 

 

Operating with the most advanced technology, expressed through a large fleet of latest equipment, machinery and systems, the Khopoli plant has given a tremendous boost of 425000 MT per annum to BSL's total production capacity Including 240000 MT of galvanised steel, which are further forward integrated into Colour Coated Sheet, Galume and other value added products.        

             

Giving a tremendous volume-thrust to the production capacity of BSL is its plant at Sahibabad, with a production of 475,000 MT per annum comprising products such as Automotive Grade C R Sheet and Galvanised Sheets.         

             

As a strategic move to optimise the usage of resources and services, as well as to streamline the functioning of all systems and process within the organisation, BSL has recently implemented SAP (the global leader in Enterprise Resource Planning Systems). After all, with sales touching Rs. 30700.000 Millions and installed capacity in the one million tonnes per annum range, BSL is now India's 3rd largest Secondary Steel Producer after SAIL and TISCO. BSL has the distinction of being the only producer In India of the widest width CR Sheet, besides being a preferred supplier of automotive grade steel sheets for inner and outer panels to all leading 4-wheeler and 2-wheeler manufacturers in the country.     

             

The most brilliant milestone in BSL's journey of excellence is the setting up of a state-of-the-art Hot Rolling Steel and Power Plant in Orissa. This Integrated Steel and Power Plant will, no doubt, put BSL firmly on the fast track of progress.   

             

Bhushan Steel Limited, is an ISO 9002,QS 9000 certified and a company of Rs. 28680.000 Millions ($650 million approx.).     

             

As one of the prime movers of the Technological Revolution in the Indian Cold Rolled Steel Industry, BSL has emerged as the country’s largest and the only CR steel plant with an independent line for manufacturing Cold Rolled coils and sheets up to a width of 1700 mm, as well as Galvanised Steel Coils and Sheets up to width of 1350mm.     

             

The Company currently has capacity to produce ALMOST ONE MILLION MT/Annum of Cold Rolled Steel at Sahibabad and Khopoli Works .              

             

The Company is a “single-point source” for a wide variety of products such as CRCA , Galvanized and Colour coated sheets, High tensile steel ttrapping, Hardened and tempered steel strips (HTSS) and Precision tubes.

Bhushan Steel buys Aussie exploration firm

 

News Description:

 

Bhushan Steel (Australia), part of Delhi-based cold roller, Bhushan Steel group, has acquired a 60 per cent stake in Australian exploration company, Bowen Energy. Bowen Energy has 2,400 sq km of prime exploration ground in the heart of the Bowen basin, close to major mines operated by BHP, Rio Tinto, Xstrata and Anglo Coal. Nitin Johri, director (finance), Bhushan Steel, said the company has four-five licences for thermal and coking coal. Bowen’s projects also include uranium, but Bhushan’s interest is in thermal and coking coal. In 2006 Bhushan had acquired 15 per cent in Bowen. Johri said this was raised through an on-market offer. The remaining 40 per cent was with institutions. According to a filing with the Australian stock exchange, the Takeover Panel has received an application from Macrae Holdings (WA) Pty Limited, seeking a review of the Panel’s decision to okay the stake sale. Neeraj Singal, managing director, Bhushan Steel, said he was not aware of the latest review application, but an earlier one had been rejected. Macrae Holdings has 0.318 per cent stake in Bowen Energy. Industry sources said the acquisition would be a major benefit for Bhushan Steel. Some Indian steel companies had reaped major benefits from acquisition of exploration assets, they said. The coking coal could be supplied to Bhushan’s steel plant in Orissa; Bhushan also plans a steel plant in West Bengal. Bowen would take advantage of upgrading of regional coal transport and shipping infrastructure plans being developed by the Queensland government in Australia. The state government is committed to spend $7.2 billion on new infrastructure projects that will support the Bowen Basin coal industry. A further $3.1 billion is planned on upgrade and expansion, as well as additional rolling stock.
