INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

Net sales for the financial year were Rs. 9366.584 Millions as against 8246.401 Millions for the previous financial year. The operational performance of the Company has been comprehensively covered in the Management Discussion and Analysis report.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

The world steel industry is a large one. According to the World Steel Association, world crude steel production was a record 1,527 million tons in 2011. However, despite its size, the steel industry remains relatively fragmented. The industry is highly cyclical and intensely competitive.

 

In 2011, world steel production is estimated to increase by 7.0% y-o-y, underpinned by growth in China and India. However, the growth of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development economies is expected to be stagnant or modest at best. Global steel production is expected to grow by another 7.0% in 2012.

 

In early 2011, there were major concerns that the rapid growth of China's steel production was putting pressure on international steel markets due to the impact of demand on key raw material inputs. Steel prices rallied in the first half of 2011 due to raw material cost escalation. The cost-push rally is because cost prices have been rising faster than the steel prices, thus squeezing the margins of steel players.

 

Chinese crude steel production in the first half of 2011 increased about 10% to reach 353 million tonnes and was expected to continue to increase at a moderate pace in the second half of 2011 in response to slower consumption growth in the country.

 

India represents the new growth frontier for global steelmakers. The Indian economy is better insulated from the global economy than other Asian countries because it does not rely heavily on exports to the developed market. However, in the globalized environment, no economy is completely decoupled from the world economy. In addition, GDP growth in 2010 and 2011 was hampered by the 13 consecutive interest rate hikes aimed at curbing inflation.

 

In an effort to curb inflation, policy- makers and regulators have adopted policies that slow down the real economic activity in the economy. Also all the macro-economic indicators point out the onset of overall economic slowdown of Indian economy which will have a profound impact on investment, growth of manufacturing and other sectors. Further, the uncertain global economic environment continues to pose serious challenges to the sustained growth of Indian economy.

 

However, economic fundamentals high savings and investment rates, demography, and a rapidly growing middle class remain strong in India, which will ensure a relatively stable economic performance for the country.

 

Fitch Ratings says that the outlook for the Indian Steel producers will remain stable in 2012, despite the risk of a slowdown in the growth of domestic steel demand. Fitch believes that demand for steel from automobile, white goods, construction and infrastructure sectors will continue to grow through 2012, albeit at a low rate of 6%-7%.

 

Steel demand has a high correlation with growth in GDP, which is showing signs of a slowdown. Fitch estimates its real GDP growth projections for India for FY13 at 7.5% due to higher domestic interest rates and a weaker global economy.

 

Nevertheless, there exists enormous potential in the economy for higher growth of domestic steel demand in medium and long term. In terms of actual steel usage India lags behind other major steel producing countries. In 2010 there per capita consumption of steel was only 51.7 Kgs as against the world average of 202.7 kgs. A massive investment to the tune of $ 1 trillion dollars has been envisaged during the Twelfth five year plan in the infrastructure sector. Besides there is a greater emphasis on the growth of the Manufacturing Sector in the country. This augurs well for expansion of the base of steel consumption in the economy. A rough estimate of incremental demand for steel in the country works out approximately to 40 million tonnes in infrastructure alone. Hence, it is likely to raise intensity of steel consumption in the country measured in terms of steel consumption per unit of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The National Steel Policy had set a production target 110 million tonnes to be achieved by 2019-20. The Indian steel industry may achieve double digit growth in consumption and surpass this production target by 2016-17 well ahead of the target date.

 

Government on its part has taken number of initiatives to boost the growth of real estate sector. Some of the measures taken include opening the doors for External Commercial Borrowing ('ECB') for specified low cost affordable housing projects which could potentially provide the much needed liquidity to the housing sector. Further, the interest to be paid on the ECB loan availed from the period July 2012 to June 2015 by the real estate developer is to be subjected to a lower rate of deduction of tax at source. Investment linked deduction is available for low cost affordable housing projects.

 

You are well aware that the company is into the business of manufacturing of long products of mild steel and stainless steel. While the company's endeavour has always been to maintain its position in long segment, it is also trying to increase its share in the value added products such as long products of special diameter and stainless steel products. During the year the company successfully completed the expansion of capacity of rolling mills at Ghaziabad to 175000 MTPA from 125000 MTPA.

BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK:

In 2011 the world crude steel production reached 1518 million tonnes (mt) and showed a growth of 6.2% over 2010. China remained the world's largest crude steel producer in 2011 (684 mt) followed by Japan (108 mt), the USA (86.4 mt) and India (72.2 mt; prov) at the 4th position (72.2 mt). The World Steel Association has projected that global apparent steel use will increase by 3.6% to 1422 Mt in 2012, following growth of 5.6% in 2011. In 2013, it is forecast that world steel demand will grow further by 4.5% to around 1486 Mt. China's apparent steel use in 2012 and 2013 is expected to increase by 4% in both the years. For India, growth in apparent steel use is expected to grow by 6.9% in 2012 and by 9.4% in 2013. Per capita finished steel consumption in 2011 is estimated at 215 kg for world and 460 kg for China.

 

The Indian steel industry has entered into a new development stage from 2007-08, riding high on the resurgent economy and rising demand for steel. Rapid rise in production has resulted in India becoming the 4th largest producer of crude steel and the largest producer of sponge iron or DRI in the world. As per the report of the Working Group on Steel for the 12th Plan, there exist many factors which carry the potential of raising the per capita steel consumption in the country, currently estimated at 55 kg (provisional). These include among others, an estimated infrastructure investment of nearly a trillion dollars, a projected growth of manufacturing from current 8% to 11-12%, increase in urban population to 600 million by 2030 from the current level of 400 million, emergence of the rural market for steel currently consuming around 10 kg per annum buoyed by projects like Bharat Nirman, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, Rajiv Gandhi Awaas Yojana among others. At the time of its release, the National Steel Policy 2005 had envisaged steel production to reach 110 million tonnes by 2019-20. However, based on the assessment of the current ongoing projects, both in greenfield and brownfield, the Working Group on Steel for the 12th Plan has projected that the crude steel capacity in the county is likely to be 140 mt by 2016-17 and has the potential to reach 149 mt if all requirements are adequately met. The National Steel Policy 2005 is currently being reviewed keeping in mind the rapid developments in the domestic steel industry (both on the supply and demand sides) as well as the stable growth of the Indian economy since the release of the Policy in 2005.

 

The Steel industry in India has suffered due to non availability and high prices of Iron Ore which has impacted Steel production. The Iron Ore mining ban in Karnataka and subsequent impact in Iron Ore production in Goa and Odisha has forced many Steel Companies to operate at reduced capacities and even close down operations. It is expected that the raw material constraints shall ease towards second half of FY'2012-13 and mines will gradually get back to normal production.

 

The Government of India has imposed an export duty of 30% on iron ore fines and lumps in order to control ad-hoc exports of the mineral and conserve it for long term requirement of the domestic steel industry. It has also removed 5% import duty on thermal coal which is also a relief for the Sponge Iron based steel producers.

 

 

DISSCUSSION ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE:

The overall operational performance of the company has been satisfactory both in terms of sales and profit as well as compared to the figures for previous year Sales for the financial year went up to Rs. 9366.584 Millions (net of excise) from Rs.8246.401 Millions (net of excise) for the previous financial year registering a growth of 13.58 %. EBITDA stood at Rs. 827.600 Millions for the financial year as against Rs. 674.200 Millions for the previous financial year. Finance cost rose significantly on account of hike in the interest rates

 

 

FUTURE PLANS:

 

Ghaziabad Plant:

During the year the company has successfully enhanced the rolling mill capacity from 125,000 TPA to 175,000 TPA.

 

Looking at the growth potential in the stainless steel segment, the company is making efforts to further increase the capacity of stainless steel products as well as a corresponding increase in the rolling mill capacity upto 200,000 TPA. Alongside, modernization of the wire rod mill with a provision of expanding the product range with downstream finishing facilities is also being considered under the proposed scheme. Broad parameters of the project have been finalized and the work on the same is expected to commence soon subject to financial tie up etc.

 

Orissa Plant:

The work on the coal mine allotted to the company is under progress. The company is in the process of obtaining approvals for the same from various departments / ministries. The company is also pursuing its case for allotment of iron ore mine on priority.

 

Once the mines become operational, bottom line of the company will improve.

 

In pursuit of its continual growth plans, the company is also looking at various organic and inorganic routes as well. A proposal for further adding value by setting up a rolling mill to manufacture TMT bars is being actively considered. This is expected to result in substantial improvement in the operational performance of orissa Plant. The move will also further consolidate the company's premium position in the long products category and add a new regional market in that area which has hitherto been untapped due to logistic issues. Besides this product in an integrated Plant will give flexibility to choose right knowhow / technology which may result in considerable savings in yield and final cost.
