LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Year 2010-11

 

The year 2010-11 was a defining year as far as steel business models are concerned, when quarterly pricing mechanism was adopted by oligopoly of international coal suppliers - passing on short term volatility in coal markets to steel industry which left steel producers struggling to fine tune their business models. Also, the steel markets worldwide were sluggish due to higher availability, and prices remained under pressure for most part of the year, which further had a negative impact on profitability of steel producers.

 

Against this backdrop, RINL recorded its best ever turnover of 11,517 Cr in 2010-11 and achieved an overall performance that qualifies the company for "Excellent" rating for eighth time in the last 10 years as per the MOU with Government of India.

 

The year 2010-11 saw a steep increase in prices of major raw materials viz coking coal and Iron ore by about 22% and 55% respectively. A growth of 13% achieved in Net Sales Realisation (NSR), was not sufficient to maintain the level of profitability achieved in 2009-10.

 

Focus of the company, during the year when profitability was under pressure, was on maximizing production and sales of value added steels and cost cutting in all areas through judiciously planned cost reduction measures.

 

During the year, the Company recorded a growth of 1% in production of Crude Steel in spite of the unprecedented rains during the month of November 2010 resulting in disruption of operations for some time during the period.

 

The year was particularly significant in so far as the progress on expansion front is concerned as the works on major units of expansion have progressed towards last leg of equipment erection and trial runs and commissioning tests for various equipments and auxiliary areas have already commenced. Stage-I units of expansion will be commissioned progressively in 2011-12.

 

Credit Rating :

 

M/s FITCH and CRISIL (Credit Rating Agencies) have maintained highest rating for short term loans "F1+" and "P1+" respectively and a very good rating of "AA (Ind)" for long term loans.

 

Major Milestones achieved during 2010 - 11 :

 

In the area of Expansion and other projects, cold trial runs being a part of commissioning activity have begun in the year 2010-11 and following activities were accomplished:

 

  • Commissioning of RMHP – 1st part of RMHP was commissioned for delivery of iron ore fines from new yard to intermediate point of iron ore feeding to Blast furnaces.

 

  • WRM - 2 - Heating of Re- heating Furnace in WRM-2 commenced.

 

  • Electrical Sub Stations - 21 Numbers of Electrical substations were charged during the year and put into operation including LBSS-6 and LBSS-7.

 

  • Cranes - Total 20 Cranes were commissioned in WRM-2, SMS - 2, BF-3 and SP-3 and utilization of the same started and further 10 more Cranes are ready for commissioning.

 

  • Permanent Power Supply – Mostly Commissioned for RMHP, SP-3, BF-3, SMS-2 and WRM-2 and trial runs for equipments commenced with permanent power.

 

  • Air, Nitrogen and Steam - Commissioned and inputs flow started to new units as required.

 

  • Water System: Commissioned for WRM-2, SMS-2 and BF-3.

  • Zero water Discharge system: Major portion commissioned and being put in operation progressively.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

Global Economic Environment :

 

Changing economic and business conditions and rapid technological innovation are creating an increasingly competitive market environment that is driving corporations to transform their operations. Consumers of products and services are increasingly demanding better quality products and lower prices. Companies are focusing on their core competencies and are using state of art technology. The role of technology has evolved from supporting corporations to transforming them.

 

The year 2010 witnessed calm after the storm, i.e. slowly recovering from the turbulence pain and panics from the unprecedented Economic and Financial Crisis adversely impacting the Global Economic growth. China as well as India cushioned the intensity of Global meltdown. The timely, cumulative stimulated economic efforts of all Governments significantly curtailed the depth, span and intensity of the economic catastrophic spread.

 

Indian Economy :

 

The Indian economy is projected to grow by 8.5% in 2010-11, the fastest in three years, on the back of a sharp recovery in farm out put, but high inflation remained as an area of concern all through the year. For 2010-11, the average inflation was 9.5%.

 

Weathering the global slow down, the Indian Economy managed to expand by 8% in 2009-10 and 6.8% in 2008-09.

 

India is rated now as one of the most attractive investment destinations across the globe and it is reported that India would be the second most attractive location for Foreign Direct investment for 2010-12 period.

 

The Government initiatives and liberalization measures resulted in tremendous response and growth in the FDI Equity inflows and by middle of March 2011, India's foreign exchange reserves totaled to US$ 303.51Billion (as per RBI).

 

There has been overall growth in other Sectors of the Economy as well and during 2011-12, it is expected to be better, making India as one of the fastest growing markets in the World.

 

Global Steel Industry :

 

World crude steel production in 2010 registered highest ever yearly production of 1414 Mt - a growth of 15% over 2009, which is 5% higher than the previous peak of 1346 Mt in 2007. Developing countries like China and India contributed by scaling new peaks and developed economies registered quantum jump from the low of 2009, which was however far short of their earlier peaks.

 

The majority of countries have recorded double-digit percentage rises in 2010 relative to 2009. The largest of these are found in the more economically developed regions. European Union, North America and Oceania-whose markets declined the most in the downturn of 2009.

 

The economic outlook for 2011 is cautiously optimistic. In the West, certain sectors of the economy are performing well. However, the construction market remains depressed and this continues to dampen demand for steel, especially long products. Government spending cuts and the fragile financial situation could pose further negative risks.

 

In 2011, strong growth in steel production is expected in South America and the Middle East. Although the impact of this will be relatively small on the world total when compared to the dominance of China. Gains in the industrialized nations are likely to be modest. MEPS forecast a year-on-year increase of approximately 4.4% for global steel production in 2012.

 

Indian Steel Scenario :

 

Steel Industry plays a major role in the economic growth of India. With new Global acquisitions by Indian Steel giants, setting up of new State of the art Steel Mills, modernization of existing plants, improving energy efficiency and backward integration into global raw material sources, India is now on the centre of the global Steel map. Consumption of Steel in various Sectors has been on the rise and special steel usage in specific industrial sectors like Power generation, Petro Chemicals, etc., is also growing.

 

India has stood as the 4th largest producer in 2010 and recorded a growth of 6.4% as compared to 2009. India is expected to become the Second largest producer of Steel in the World by 2015-16 on account of growing Steel demand, rich resources base of Iron ore, skilled man power and vast experience of Steel making and the huge capacity expansion planned and being executed in the Steel Sector.

 

With demand driven by expanding consumer market, the Indian Steel Industry is likely to receive huge domestic and foreign investments, MOUs (nearly 222) for planned capacity of around 276 mt have been signed by Steel Investors with various State Governments mostly in Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal.

 

Finished Steel Production was registered at 62.69 Mt during 2010-11 in the country as per JPC and the production is expected to be nearly 110 mt by 2012-13. A Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4% during the five years (2005-06 to 2009-10) was recorded.

 

The consumption of Steel domestically was recorded at 65.61 Mt and shown an increase of 11 % during 2010-11 as compared to the same period of the previous year.

 

Government initiatives included (a) approval by Planning Commission a total outlay of US $ 9.5 Billion for the development and promotion of the Iron and Steel Sector; (b) Scheme for the promotion of research and development in the Iron and Steel Sector with Budget provision of US$ 24.6 Million (c) review of National Steel Policy 2005 and process for drafting a 'National Steel Vision' has been initiated and (d) Five year strategy has been prepared for promotion of Steel Sector in the country.

 

The Ministry of Steel, in association with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is carrying out a Project on "Removal of Barriers to Energy Efficiency Improvement in Steel Re-rolling Mill Sector in India" at an estimated cost of US$ 14.03 Million. The Project seeks to reduce green house gas emissions by providing technical assistance to small and medium sized steel re-rolling mills in the country to enable them to adopt more energy efficient and environmentally friendly technologies.

 

OUTLOOK FOR THE COMPANY IN 2011-12 :

 

Notwithstanding the steep increase in the raw material prices in 2010-11, the outlook for 2011-12 suggests a quantum jump once again, fuelled significantly by the unprecedented rains and flooding of North - Eastern parts subject 36 of Australia and forecast of healthy growth in apparent consumption of steel worldwide.
