After the strained economic slowdown-ridden last year, the Company’s consolidated performance is better during the year, riding the rebound in the demand and realisations of iron ore. The Company faced problems of decreasing demand which resulted in low realisations. In a business where the proportion of overheads is generally low, profit increases are sharp when realisations rise – and vice versa. Consequently, when demand and realisations are low, the impact is usually visible in a poor bottomline. As a result, the biggest challenge for the Company was to manage realizations and still stay profitable during the year.

 

The Company recognised that the need of the day was to maintain customer relationship, maintain delivery schedules, deliver right and quality and ensure that customers derived the right productivity using their  material. Fortunately, India’s steel demand revived faster than in other countries, reflected in 18% decrease in average per tonne iron ore domestic net realisations. The Company’s optimism regarding iron ore is derived from the under penetration and prospective growth of the developing countries, led by India and China. For instance, steel is core to downstream uses in power, infrastructure and automobiles, among others; there is significant opportunity for the development of Tier II and Tier III Indian cities. The more steel is used – as it must – the greater will be the demand for iron ore. From a long-term perspective, finite resource like iron ore will always be bullish with consumption led increased demand

 

During the year 8.75 MW Wind Power Project from Sangli generated the revenue of Rs.54.486 Millions and 7.50 MW Wind Power Project at Kutch has generated the revenue of 53.715 Millions.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

The year gone by in 2009-10 was a year of stabilization and recovery for the global economy post global economic meltdown and subsequent economic recession. After plunging into the steepest economic contraction since the great depression, the global economy witnessed significant improvement during the year. Although the process of recovery continues, the recent sovereign debt crisis in a few European economies poses new obstacles towards sustained growth and stability on a long term basis. According to the latest world economic outlook published by International Monetary Fund (IMF) in April 2010, world economy is expected to grow by 4.2% in 2010 as against a decline of 0.6% in 2009.At the heart of this recovery was the co-ordinated fiscal action by the world powers, including India, to stimulate the economies. In a sign of shifting economic might, China and India were at the forefront of this recovery added by their relatively stable domestic demand.

 

India was one of the first countries to recover from the global economic crisis on account of its strong domestic demand. In India, the economic growth exceeded expectations and grew by an impressive 7.4% GDP growth rate during FY 2009-10. The financial year 2009-10 saw large volatility in inflation numbers with food prices witnessing the steepest increase. As per estimates, the outlook for the 2010-11 looks encouraging backed by normal monsoon, higher agriculture productivity and buoyancy in industrial output and exports. In the year 2010-11, the GDP is likely to grow by 8.5%.

 

OVER VIEW OF THE ECONOMY

 

WORLD IRON AND STEEL SCENARIO – 2009

 

Global crude steel production during the year 2009 was 1.22 billion tonnes down 8% over 2008 driven mainly by growth in China. During 2009, China's crude steel production was about 569 million tonnes as against 500 million tonnes in 2008 registering an impressive growth of 13.5%. Rest of the world (world-China) showed a decrease of 21% in crude steel production to 652 million tonnes in 2009 compared to 826 million tonnes during 2008. Meanwhile, world iron ore production reached (estimated) 1.83 billion tonnes during 2009 registering an increase of 2.8% over 2008 production level of 1.78 billion tonnes.

 

Macro-Economic Perspective

 

As would recall, given the events of the global financial markets in 2008, most of us were expecting the worst at the beginning of 2009-10. Several developed economies, including the US had gone into recession. Even rapidly growing emerging economies including China and India were witnessing a slowdown. However, it was heartening to see positive signals emerge as one progressed through 2009-10. As the global financial system began to stabilise, one saw renewed capital flow especially to emerging economies. In the third quarter of 2009, USA came out of its economic contraction and registered positive quarter-on-quarter growth, which has continued for the next three quarters. It does seem that the world economy has started recovering from the lows of 2008-09.Having said so, it is important to understand that there are still some concerns. Although the US is expected to grow its real GDP by a bit over 3% in 2010, the same cannot be said about most of the developed world. Most countries in the Euro zone recorded negative or very low GDP growth in the same period. There are also some concerns with sovereign deficits in these countries. Clearly, there are considerable uncertainties about the economic prospects of these advanced countries. Simultaneously, one is witnessing a clear shift in economic plays across geographies. Despite a slow first half and expectations of a sharp drop in growth, China achieved 8.7% GDP growth in 2009, and is forecasted to grow at around 9.7% in 2010. India is estimated to grow by 7.4% in 2009-10, and then cross 8.4% in 2010-11. Brazil is stated to grow at over 5.5% in 2010. These three major emerging economies have not only emerged out of the slowdown, but are also expected to deliver significantly higher GDP growth in the next few years. From a macroeconomic point of view these developments reinforce the strength in Taurian business strategy for emerging economies.

 

Business Perspective

 

While strategic positioning is important, the mettle of an enterprise is best judged when its execution skills pass the tests in difficult business conditions. On the one hand, it is true that India and China are back on their high economic growth trajectory. Equally, on the other hand, it is important to note that the first six months of 2009-10 saw very subdued economic activity and demand in these countries. It is in the second half that the growth momentum picked up. In this business environment, the Company’s performance speaks for its execution skills

 

Macro-Economic Developments

 

Taurian primarily caters to the global steel market, and being a core industrial product, steel consumption has a strong correlation with economic growth. By the second half of 2009-10, the global economy was on a recovery mode. Not so much in Europe, or even the US; but certainly the developing countries, especially China, India and Brazil. The real GDP growth data of the two fastest growing emerging economies –China and India. After three quarters of reduction, China’s economic growth improved steadily from Q2, 2009, to finally post 8.7% GDP growth for calendar year 2009. India too recovered from a slump and the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) estimates a growth of 7.4% for the financial year 2009-10. Both these countries have come out of the slowdown and are poised to regain a higher growth momentum.

 

Over the last five to seven years, given the lower cost structures, global steel production has been shifting away from developed countries to emerging economies, particularly China. China’s production has been growing at a much faster pace than global output over the last eight quarters. Post the financial and economic crisis of 2008, steel demand is also shifting towards the emerging economies, with steel consumption in the emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) increasing by 3.2% in 2008 and 19.2% in 2009. China alone witnessed a massive 27.4% increase in steel consumption in 2009. Growth in steel demand is now emanating from emerging economies. This changing landscape of the global iron and steel industry in terms of demand and supply has resulted in new opportunities and challenges. Fundamentally, given that China, Brazil, India and other emerging economies are in different phases of development compared to the advanced world, there is a re-alignment in favour of costs and towards more value-driven products. Consequently, competitive pricing and effective utilization of resources are increasingly becoming key strategic objectives for steel producers.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

IRON ORE

 

Iron Ore is traded in different forms - lumps, fines, concentrates and agglomerated (pellets and sinter). The Company deals mostly in fines and lumps. Iron ore is a major raw material for production of steel through blast furnace route. The Company leverages its geographical proximity to China, the world’s largest iron ore fines consumer. Consequently, Taurian became a preferred supplier and gained better price negotiating power than competitors in other countries.

 

PRODUCT ANALYSIS

 

Taurian's Iron ore reserves consist of lump and fine ore, production ratio is 60% fines and 40% Lumps. The lump ore component in mines in Jharkh and is of higher-grade deposits, Fe content ranging between 58% and 63%.

 

OUT LOOK

 

Going ahead, the Company’s prospects seems bright owing to: Investment in capacity creation with enhanced output Widened revenues from iron ore to Coal to Gold to finance its enhanced capital expenditure, working capital outlay including a proposed pelletisation and beneficiation plant. These investments will enable the Company to enhance output resulting in enhanced margins. The Company expects to enhance its net turnover from 4237.000 Millions in 2009-10 to a projected 15000.000 Millions by FY 2013, with more value addition, thus enhancing shareholder’s value. The Company intends to undertake several important initiatives in future to strengthen its business: Focus on robust domestic iron ore demand Grow both organically and inorganically through mine acquisitions and its development Widen the product basket through growing ownership of bauxite, soapstone, Gold and coal mines etc. within India and abroad In doing so, the Company intends to emerge as one of the largest players in India’s mining industry

 

Why they are optimistic about their iron ore business by 2015-16, India is expected to emerge as the world’s second-largest crude steel producer (Source: Ministry of Steel). India’s 2011-12 finished steel consumption is projected at 70.34 MT, production 80.23 MT and capacity 124 MT (Source: Ministry of Steel).Various states signed a total of 222 MoUs for planned capacity of around 276 million tonnes per annum of steel production (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 export of these products (Source: IBEF).

 

THE FUTURE IS HERE IN MORE SENSES THAN ONE. Until 2003, Asia accounted for 45% of global steel production and in 2009-10, it accounted for a 65% share. The two biggest drivers of the continent’s re-rating are China and India. China accounted for 47% of the world’s steel production in 2009-10; India accounted for around 5%.

 

THE BIG PICTURE

 

India’s share of global steel production increased from 3.7% in 2003-04 to around 5% in 2009-10.ing

 

MINING OVERVIEW

 

India’s GDP growth was catalysed by the mining industry; every rupee invested in the mining industry generated `2.4 of output (directly or indirectly) in the country’s economy. Mining contributed about 2% to the country’s GDP (Source: Central Statistical Organisation). The sector grew 8.7% in 2009-10 compared with 1.6% in 2008-09 (Source: Economic Survey, 2009-10). Mining makes a significant contribution to India’s overseas trade (in ore and refined form). Total ores and mineral exports in 2008 were `950.22 billion, an increase of 17% over the previous year and nearly double the value in 2003-04 (Source: Indian Infrastructure, March 2010) The New Mineral Policy 2008 inspired the government to make mining economically profitable, technically appropriate, environmentally safe and socially responsible. During 2008-09, 210 proposals for mining leases, 44 proposals for reconnaissance permits and 280 applications for prospecting licenses were received, reflecting growing interest. The industry’s outlook is positive, reflected in a relatively low exploration compared to peer countries that will need to be corrected.

 

GLOBAL IRON ORE INDUSTRY

 

Iron, the fourth-most abundant rock and constituting about 5% of the earth’s crust, is the world's most commonly used metal. Global iron ore deposits are estimated at 800 billion tonnes, containing more than 230 billion tonnes 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.

 

Production: As per the US Geological Survey (USGS), the global iron ore reserve base totalled 1,60,000 million tonnes of crude ore with an iron content of more than 77,000 million tonnes. Ukraine has the world’s largest reserve base of 30,000 million tones followed by 25,000 million tonnes in Russia, 22,000 million tonnes in China and 20,000 million tonnes in Australia. Most of the world’s high grade ores are located in Brazil and Australia. China has low-grade ores but is still the world’s largest iron ore producer.

 

Consumption: About 98% of the world’s iron ore is consumed in the production of pig iron, which is processed into steel. Iron ore is considered more integral to global growth than any other commodity because steel consumption is greater than the consumption of all other metals combined together. The iron ore which is not used to produce pig iron is used in a variety of other applications including cement, pigments, agricultural products and specialty chemicals.

 

Prices: Global iron ore prices surged more than two-fold in 2009 to around US$130 a tonne following strong demand from China and an economic recovery in Europe and the United States (Source: Reuters, 11th March 2010). The major factors driving iron ore prices were a rising Chinese steel output and growing import dependence on iron ore. Besides, the oligopolistic supply side (three companies control over 75% of the global sea-borne iron ore trade) resulted in a tightening demand supply and price surge. However, a significant change is expected. Traditionally, the big three global miners (BHP Billiton, Rio Tintoand Vale) used a benchmark system of annually negotiated prices with Chinese steel mills, as they did in other countries. The rise in prominence of China’s spot market and the huge disparity between spot and contract prices resulted in a probable systemic overhaul resulting in quarterly prices as opposed to annual contracted prices.

 

INDIAN IRON ORE INDUSTRY

 

India is the fourth-largest producer of iron ore, possessing the richest iron ore deposits. Accessible and high grade iron ore reserves – free from impurities like phosphorous and sulphur and considered good for smelting – account for almost two thirds of the total iron ore reserves in the country.

 

Reserves: India possesses 6% of global iron ore reserves and ranks fifth in the world in iron ore reserve ownership. The Indian Bureau of Mines estimated the country’s total iron ore reserves at 25.2 billion tonnes. The principal iron ores are hematite (70% iron) and magnetite (72% iron). Hematite accounts for 58% of the total iron ore reserves, mainly in Orissa (33%), Jharkhand (28%), Chhattisgarh (19%), Karnataka (11%) and Goa (5%). Magnetite accounts for 42% of the total (74%), Andhra Pradesh (14%),Rajasthan (5%) and Tamil Nadu (4%).The remaining 3% is accounted for by Kerala, Assam, Jharkhand, Nagaland, Bihar and Maharashtra. At the current domestic production levels of 230 million tonnes of ore in 2009-10, the country’s available reserves are expected to last around 90 years. Fines and concentrates make up about 90%of iron ore exports.

 

Demand: The demand for Indian iron ore is increasing; through 2006 to 2009, China imported 74.78 MT, 79.53 MT, 91.04 MT and 107 MT ores from India, marking annual increases of 9.08%, 6.36%, 14.47% and 18.08%. Although India’s iron ore exports are increasing, India’s share of total Chinese iron ore imports declined from 22.92% in 2006 to 20.73% in 2007 to 20.51% in 2008 and to 17.71% in 2009, indicating that India’s iron ore appetite is increasing (Source: steelorbis.com, 09 April 2010) consequent to an increasing steel output of 42.78 MT, 53.08 MT, 55.05 MT and 54.6 MT through 2006-09. Since lowquality grades accounted for about 70% of the 2008-09 ore output of 222 million tonnes, a number of miners invested in pellet plants to use lower grade powdery iron ore fines to make higher grade nodules, ideal for feeding blast furnaces in steel mills leading to improved downstream input-output efficiency (Source: Reuters, 11th March 2010).

 

Production: India’s iron ore production grew at a CAGR of 11.12% over the five financial years up to 2008-09 to reach 222 million tonnes (Source: Indian Infrastructure, March2010). In 2009-10, the country produced 230 million tonnes of iron Annual report 2009-10 25 ore and exported close to 106 million tonnes of iron ore to China. About 90% of its exports are to China in the form of fines, while the remaining 10% are iron ore lumps transported to countries like Korea and Japan (Source: Business Standard, 28 April, 2010). Moreover, the Steel Ministry seta steel production target of 124million tonnes per annum by 2012-13, more than double the current production capacity of around 54 million tonnes per annum in 2009 (Source: Business Line, 28 April,2010), widening the

market for ironore.

 

Exports: India is the world’s third largest iron ore exporter after Australia and Brazil, with most of its exports to China, the world’s largest steel industry hub. India’s iron ore export in 2009-10 was around 106 million tonnes as against 105 million tonnes in 2008-09 (Source: Business Line, 23April, 2010). To curb ore exports and ensure adequate material for the country’s steel industry, the Indian government raised the export duty on iron ore lumps from 5% to 10% and imposed a 5% duty on fines (bulk of iron ore exports) in 2010. The Indian Railways also increased freight on iron ore exports by `300 a tonne from March 2010. It is expected that iron ore exports will be around 100 million tones in 2010-11.
