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.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

 

The Company set a new record by achieving the highest ever sales turnover of Rs.503480.000 Millions during 2011-12, a growth of 7% over previous year. The Company earned Profit before Tax of Rs.51508.700 Millions and Profit after Tax of Rs.35427.200 Millions for the year 2011-12. The profit of the Company for the year 2011-12 was affected adversely, mainly due to adverse impact of higher prices of inputs with the average price of imported Hard Coking Coal going up to US $ 288/T (FOB) in FY’12 as compared to US $ 213/T (FOB) in corresponding period of last year (CPLY). Another key factor affecting the profitability was the impact of foreign exchange variation to the tune of about Rs.9000.000 Millions during the year due to the US $ appreciating from a level of Rs.44.68 as on 31.3.2011 to Rs.50.88 as on 31.3.2012. However, the adverse impact on profitability was partially offset by several initiatives taken by the Company.

 

The Company continued its thrust on optimum utilisation of funds by better fund management. This included replacement of high cost short term loans with low cost debts, timely repayment of loans including interest, strategic parking of surplus funds with scheduled banks, actions for future fund raising, etc. to meet growth objectives. Further, the Company hedged the foreign currency risk on short-term Buyer’s Credit and External Commercial Borrowings depending upon market conditions. The Company had liquid assets of Rs.59000.000 Millions as on 31st March, 2012 invested in short term deposits with scheduled banks against borrowings of Rs.171070.000 Millions as on 31st March, 2012. The debt equity ratio of the Company reduced to 0.41:1 as on 31st March, 2012 from 0.52:1 as on 31st March, 2011 mainly on account of decrease in borrowings during the year. The net worth of the Company improved from Rs.370690.000 Millions as on 31st March, 2011 to Rs.398110.000 Millions as on 31st March, 2012. During the year 2011-12, the capital expenditure incurred was Rs.110210.000 Millions, which was financed by a mix of internal resources (including proceeds from maturity of deposits) and borrowings from the market.

 

The Company paid interim dividend @ 12% of the paid-up equity share capital during the year. The Board of Directors has further recommended a final dividend @ 8% subject to approval of the shareholders, thus making the total dividend @ 20% of the paid up equity share capital for the year 2011-12. A sum of Rs.2750.000 Millions has been transferred to the General Reserves during the year (previous year Rs.5000.000 Millions).

 

 

PRODUCTION REVIEW

 

In the year 2011-12, the Company Plants took various initiatives to deal with the impending challenges by optimizing operations, better value addition in downstream units, taking measures to reduce coke consumption by enhancing alternate fuels like Coal Dust Injection (CDI) in blast furnaces, etc. Record CDI of about 51 kg/tonne of Hot Metal (thm) was achieved during 2011-12 as against 34 kg/thm in last year. The company, in its endeavour to become energy and cost efficient in the year 2011-12, increased production of crude steel through continuous casting route and achieved production of 9.4 million tones with a growth of 1% over corresponding period of last year. Production of hot metal at 14.1 million tonnes, crude steel at 13.4 million tones and saleable steel at 12.4 million tonnes was 102%, 104% and 112% of the rated capacity respectively. Lower availability of Coke Ovens at BSP, DSP and BSL and resultant Coke Oven gas shortage, however, affected production during the year adversely.

 

The Company produced value added products to the tune of 4.83 million tonnes thus increasing the share of value-added products in its product basket to around 39 per cent in the current year. The Company has taken various measures to improve processes, including marketability of products through improved packaging. Higher production of special quality and value added products resulted in further improvement of the product-mix. Several new products were developed which have significant demand, ready market, and good contribution margin. Some of the major new products developed to meet the customers’ requirement and enhance market share are End Forged Thick Web Asymmetric Rail for Indian Railways, Atmospheric corrosion resistance steel plates in JIS 3114 SMA 490BWN for manufacture of bogie frame by BEML for use in Delhi Metro Project, ASTM A 537 class 1 plates with impact test in transverse direction for petro chemical industry, SAIL-TMT Fe 550 EQR/IS 1786 Fe 550 D – High Strength Earth Quake Resistance Quality Bars for construction of tall towers, BSEN 10025-2 S 275J2+N-Moderate strength with low temperature impact toughness for railway passenger bogie, DIN EN 10028-3: P355 NL1 - Weldable fine grain Pressure Vessel Plates for manufacturing of light wagon, 5mm thick 2 Pie Grade Steel Plates for defense application, etc. A large number of innovations were also carried out in Plants for process improvements and cost competitiveness.

 

An exhaustive Master Plan for R&D has been prepared aiming at integrating R&D activities towards business and operational goals of the Company. The implementation of this Master Plan; besides giving a competitive advantage to company by improving efficiencies, reducing costs, meeting market demands and upgrading current steel technologies; will also help in gradually increasing R&D expenditure to a level of 1% of sales turnover, which is an international benchmark.

 

R&D Master Plan will have positive impact on the existing operations through implementation of centralised and decentralised projects. Centralised projects consist of High Impact Projects (HIP) and Technology Mission Projects (TMP). The projects which are of common interest of all integrated steel Plants viz. coal and coke beneficiation, pelletisation, environmental projects etc. will come in the category of HIP. Development/acquisition of radically new technologies which are of strategic importance for company viz. thin strip casting and inline rolling, CRGO etc. will be pursued through TM Projects. Under the decentralized category, all the Plants/Units of company will have Centre of Excellence (CoE) in selected areas/products. Centre of Excellence projects will mainly focus on augmenting product volume and product attribute. Nine Units of company have selected 14 nos. of projects in different areas with the aim to be the Centre of Excellence in the particular field.

 

Champions of the projects, who are the key drivers, and Research Councils (RC), the approving authority of CoE projects, are already in place. In order to facilitate faster communication and sharing of information, a dedicated web portal in respect of R&D Master Plan has already been launched on SAIL Net.

 

 

RAW MATERIALS

 

During 2011-12, total requirement of iron ore was met from captive sources. The Company’s captive iron ore mines produced about 22.35 million tonnes. However, in case of coking coal, around 25% requirement was met from indigenous sources and balance through imports. During 2011-12, production in captive collieries of the Company was about 0.64 million tonnes. In case of fluxes, around 1.15 million tonnes of limestone and 0.95 million tonnes of dolomite was produced resulting in total production of 2.10 million tonnes fluxes from captive sources. For thermal coal, the Company depends entirely on purchases from Coal India Limited (CIL) except small quantity produced from captive mines. To develop a state-of-art mine at Chiria, the Company is in the process of compliance of Stage I forest clearance conditions. The Company has deposited the Net Present Value of the forest land and has acquired the certificate required under the Forest Rights Act, 2006. During 2011-12, the Company got the final environment clearance for the Dhobil Lease of the Manoharpur Iron Ore Mines, Chiria.

 

During the year, Ministry of Mines, Government of India reserved 140 ha of area having iron ore reserves of 11 million tonnes in NEB range in Bellary District of Karnataka for undertaking prospecting / mining operations. Further, Government of Rajasthan has forwarded the proposal for grant of iron ore mining lease covering an area of 871.38 ha in Bhilwara District of Rajasthan in favour of the Company to Ministry of Mines, Government of India.

 

S&T Mining Company Private Limited a Joint Venture Company of SAIL and Tata Steel Limited, is making efforts to develop Bhutgoria mine of BCCL. The mine is estimated to produce 0.36 Mtpa coking coal at full capacity which will be shared between SAIL and Tata Steel. The Joint Venture Company is also making efforts for establishment of standalone coal washery of 1.8 Mtpa at Bhelatand.

 

The Company is also making attempts for obtaining allocation of coking coal and thermal coal blocks under Government dispensation route for captive mining to enhance indigenous coal availability.

 

 

SALES AND MARKETING REVIEW

 

The Company achieved a total sales volume of 11.8 million tones during FY’11-12. Exports during the year at 0.33 million tonnes were maintained at previous year’s level. Major categories where growth was recorded in home sales included: HR Coils - 7.1%, Plates>20mm - 4.7%, Heavy Structural’s - 3% and Tin Plates - 10.8%. New der this scheme, LOIs were issued to 476 rural dealers during 2011-12. Process for more such appointments is under progress.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

World Economic Environment

 

IMF, in its April 2012 update, has projected a World output growth of 3.5% for 2012 against a growth of 3.9% during 2011. However, projected growth of 3.9% for 2013 indicates a mild recovery. Slight recovery in the major advanced economies, coupled with the solid growth in most emerging and developing economies presents a positive outlook for the Global economy on the whole.

 

While US economy appears to be on recovery path with a growth of 1.7% in 2011 and projected growth rates of 2% and 2.3% for 2012 and 2013 respectively, the Euro Zone continues to be an area of concern. Its projected growth for 2012 is -0.3% against a growth of 1.5% during 2011. The projection for 2013 is also for a flat growth at 0.7%. In the Euro Zone, Greece which had contracted by 6.9% in 2011, is projected to contract by another 4.7% in 2012, before starting recovery in 2013 along with Portugal and Spain.

 

Growth in the advanced economies will be slow, projected at 1.4% for 2012 and 1.9% for 2013, primarily because of the ongoing problems in Europe.

 

As per IMF, the emerging and developing economies would also experience a lower growth of 5.6% into 2012 against a growth of 6.2% in 2011. In developing Asia, China which had grown at 9.2% in 2011 is expected to slow down to 8% in 2012 before recovering to 8.5% in 2013.

 

Given the overall dampening in economic activity, the trade growth is expected to slow down for both developed as well as developing world.

 

Risk in 2012 is in the form of continued hardening of oil prices. China and India, which together account for around 80% of the incremental oil demand, would continue to push the demand given the pace of their economic expansion. Further, any geo-political uncertainty could trigger a sharp increase in oil prices.

 

 

World Steel Scenario

 

The Global Steel Industry is going through a rough phase with demand declining and the major steel economies like USA and Europe running into oversupply. The World crude steel production in 2011 stood at 1518 million tonnes, growing at 6.2% over 2010, with China contributing as high as 52% to the incremental production. The growth rate however, was considerably lower as compared to 16% in 2010.

 

The Global steel demand during 2012 is expected to grow by 3.6% to 1422 Million Tonnes, moderating slightly as compared to a 5.6% growth in 2011. It is expected to grow further by 4.5% to around 1486 million tonnes in 2013, as per WSA forecasts.

 

Demand in major steel producing nations, viz. Japan and Europe is projected to decrease in 2012 as compared to the demand in 2011. In the US, demand is forecast to grow by 5.7% in 2012 and 5.6% in 2013. China’s growth in steel demand in 2012 and 2013 is expected to moderate to 4.0% following 6.2% growth in 2011. The continuing slowdown of Chinese steel demand is mainly driven by the Chinese Government’s efforts to restructure the economy. However, part of China’s projected slower growth is offset by improvement in other emerging markets and the recovery in US.

 

India is expected to resume its high growth trend after a sluggish performance in 2011. In 2012, India’s steel use is forecast to grow by 6.9% to reach 72.5 MT and is projected to grow further by 9.4% in 2013, driven by increased infrastructure investment and higher pace of urbanisation.

 

WSA forecast suggests that in 2013, the emerging and developing economies will account for 73% of World steel demand.

 

 

Indian Economic Scenario

 

The GDP growth of the Indian economy was estimated at 6.5% for the Fiscal 2011-12. Reduction in gross fixed capital formation and slow down in industrial production have been the cause of concern. No change inthe growth rate is expected in the coming fiscal, with RBI projecting a growth of 6.5% for 2012-13.

 

The Union Budget has announced a number of measures to boost the investment climate, with special focus on infrastructure and manufacturing sectors. For the Steel Industry, the key measures are in the form of increasing custom duty on flat carbon steel products from the level of 5% to 7.5%. This along with measures to bring back industrial growth should allow for accommodation of additional supply on capacities likely to be commissioned in 2012-13.

 

The announcements with regard to reduction in customs duty on machinery imports for mining and mineral sector, specially for iron ore beneficiation and pelletisation, will lead to reduction of overall capital cost.

 

 

Indian Steel Scenario

 

India maintained its ranking as the 4th largest steel producer in the World with a production of 71.3 million tonnes in 2011, registering a growth rate of 4.4% over 2010, as per WSA.

 

According to JPC estimates, domestic finished steel consumption posted a growth of 6.8% during 2011-12 to 70.92 Million Tonnes. The World Steel Association has projected a growth of 6.9% for steel consumption for India during 2012, which is higher than the growth in steel consumption projected for China (4%). In 2013, the growth rate is forecast to accelerate to 9.4%.

 

A growth rate of 8-9% in the next few years is expected to be sustained mainly by factors such as the 1 trillion USD investment envisaged for the infrastructure sector in the 12th Five Year Plan, greater emphasis on increasing growth rate of the manufacturing sector, higher rates of urbanization, rising middle class population and tapping the potential of the rural market. Also, in terms of per capita consumption of finished steel, India at 57 kg lags behind the world average of 214.7 kg, indicating a huge potential for growth.

 

In terms of imports and exports, India has become a net importer of steel since 2007-08, with the net imports at 3 million tonnes during 2011-12. An important reason for the high level of imports has been the domestic non-availability or limited availability of sophisticated/ specialized steel products.

 

 

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW OF SAIL

 

With the Indian Economy reeling under the collateral impact of a sovereign debt crisis in Europe and frequent increases in domestic interest rates to rein in inflation this Fiscal, the growth rate of real consumption of domestic steel in the current Fiscal also witnessed a slow down as compared to last year. Company achieved the saleable steel production of 12.4 Million Tonne representing 112% of capacity utilisation. Sales volume of saleable steel decreased by 3% at 11.42 Million Tonne as against 11.72 Million Tonne in 2010-11.

Company achieved the turnover of Rs.503480.000 Millions which was higher by 7% as compared to previous year, mainly due to increase in average net sales realisation of saleable steel during 2011-12. The profit of the Company for the year 2011-12 was affected adversely, mainly due to adverse impact of higher prices of inputs with the average price of imported Hard Coking coal going up to US $ 288/T (FOB) in FY’12 as compared to US $ 213/T (FOB) in corresponding period of last year (CPLY). Another key factor affecting the profitability was the impact of foreign exchange variation to the tune of about Rs.9000.000 Millions during the year due to the US dollar appreciating from a level of Rs.44.68 as on 31.3.2011 to Rs.50.88 as on 31.3.2012. However, the adverse impact on profitability was partially offset by the initiatives taken by the Company such as increase in net sales realisation of saleable steel, interest earned on term deposits and higher value added steel production. The profit after tax of Rs.35430.000 Millions was lower by Rs.13620.000 Millions over last year (Rs.49050.000 Millions).

NOTE:

 

The above results have been reviewed by the Audit Committee and taken on record by the Board of Directors in their Meeting held on 8th November, 2012.

 

The above results have been reviewed by the Statutory Auditors, as required under Clause 41 of the Listing Agreement.

 

Net Sales include sales to Government Agencies recognised on provisional contract prices during the Half Year ended 30th September 2012: Rs.22213.6 million (corresponding Half Year of previous year: Rs.19141.6 million) and upto 30th September, 2012: Rs.166734.7 million (upto the corresponding Half Year of previous year : Rs.130615.4 million).

 

Pending final decision by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India on levy of Entry Tax in Uttar Pradesh, the Entry Tax demand of Rs.734.3 million upto 30th September, 2012, under dispute, has been treated as contingent liability.

 

Due to unusual and steep depreciation in the value of the Rupee against US $ during the current Half Year, the foreign exchange fluctuation loss on short term foreign currency loans of Rs.2151.000 millions for the current Half Year (corresponding Half Year of previous year - Rs.5203.700 millions) has been considered as an Exceptional Item’ by the Company.

 

In accordance with Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2009, relating to Accounting Standard – 11, notified on 31st March 2009 and amended from time to time, the foreign exchange fluctuation loss on long-term foreign currency loans of Rs.248.1 million (net debit) for the current Half Year [corresponding Half Year of previous year- Rs.1632.6 million (net debit)], has been adjusted in the carrying cost of the Fixed Assets/Capital Work-in-progress. Also, as per Government’s Circular No.25/2012 dated 9th August, 2012, exchange differences, arising on settlement/translation of foreign currency loans to the extent regarded as an adjustment to interest cost, have been adjusted in the cost of related assets, resulting in higher profit for the current quarter/ half year by Rs.8.7 million and higher fixed assets of Rs.8.7 million.

 

Formulas used for computation of coverage ratios: Debt Service Coverage Ratio = Earnings before interest, exceptional items and tax/principal and interest repayment of long terms loans; and Interest Service Coverage Ratio = Earnings before interest, exceptional items and tax/interest including transferred to Capital Work in Progress.

 

The figures of previous periods have been re-grouped, wherever necessary, so as to conform to the current Quarter/Half Year’s classification.

OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT


The Government of India owns about 86% of company’s equity and retains voting control of the Company. However, company by virtue of its ‘Maharatna’ status, enjoys significant operational and financial autonomy

 

 

BACKGROUND AND HISTORY

 

Company traces its origin to the formative years of an emerging nation - India. After independence the builders of modern India worked with a vision - to lay the infrastructure for rapid industrialization of the country. The steel sector was to propel the economic growth. Hindustan Steel Private Limited was set up on January 19, 1954.

 

 

EXPANDING HORIZON (1959-1973)


Hindustan Steel (HSL) was initially designed to manage only one plant that was coming up at Rourkela. For Bhilai and Durgapur Steel Plants, the preliminary work was done by the Iron and Steel Ministry. From April 1957, the supervision and control of these two steel plants were also transferred to Hindustan Steel. The registered office was originally in New Delhi. It moved to Calcutta in July 1956, and ultimately to Ranchi in December 1959.


The 1 MT phases of Bhilai and Rourkela Steel Plants were completed by the end of December 1961. The 1 MT phase of Durgapur Steel Plant was completed in January 1962 after commissioning of the Wheel and Axle plant. The crude steel production of HSL went up from .158 MT (1959-60) to 1.6 MT. A new steel company, Bokaro Steel Limited, was incorporated in January 1964 to construct and operate the steel plant at Bokaro.The second phase of Bhilai Steel Plant was completed in September 1967 after commissioning of the Wire Rod Mill. The last unit of the 1.8 MT phase of Rourkela - the Tandem Mill - was commissioned in February 1968, and the 1.6 MT stage of Durgapur Steel Plant was completed in August 1969 after commissioning of the Furnace in SMS. Thus, with the completion of the 2.5 MT stage at Bhilai, 1.8 MT at Rourkela and 1.6 MT at Durgapur, the total crude steel production capacity of HSL was raised to 3.7 MT in 1968-69 and subsequently to 4MT in 1972-73.

 


HOLDING COMPANY


The Ministry of Steel and Mines drafted a policy statement to evolve a new model for managing industry. The policy statement was presented to the Parliament on December 2, 1972. On this basis the concept of creating a holding company to manage inputs and outputs under one umbrella was mooted. This led to the formation of Steel Authority of India Limited. The company, incorporated on January 24, 1973 with an authorized capital of Rs. 20000.000 Millions, was made responsible for managing five integrated steel plants at Bhilai, Bokaro, Durgapur, Rourkela and Burnpur, the Alloy Steel Plant and the Salem Steel Plant. In 1978 company was restructured as an operating company.


Company has been instrumental in laying a sound infrastructure for the industrial development of the country. Besides, it has immensely contributed to the development of technical and managerial expertise. It has triggered the secondary and tertiary waves of economic growth by continuously providing the inputs for the consuming industry.

 

 

PRESS RELEASE

 

SAIL PRODUCTION UP 7 PER CENT IN Q2


New Delhi, 01 October 2012

 

SAIL recorded a growth of 7 % in hot metal production in the July-September’2012 over corresponding period last year (CPLY), with a production of 3.6 million tonnes (MT) in Q2FY13. Growth in crude steel and saleable steel production was 5 % and 4 %, with production of 3.39 MT and 3.17 MT in Q2FY13 respectively. There was 6 % growth in hot metal production and 4% growth in production of crude steel as well as saleable steel in September’2012, over the same month last year. Blast Furnace productivity showed substantial increase of 8% in Q2 over CPLY.


In H-1 (April-September’12) also, 3 % growth was registered in production of both  hot metal and crude steel, over CPLY. Improved techno-economic parameters in H-1 of current fiscal supported the growth trend with BF productivity, specific energy consumption and coke rate registering improvements of 4%, 3% and 2% respectively.
 

The production growth is in tune with the momentum that the ongoing Modernization and Expansion Plan of SAIL has attained, as it reaches the advanced stages of completion. The plan not only envisages substantial growth in production volumes in a phased manner but also producing new variety and range of products to cater to new market segments. 

 

 

SAIL TARGETS CAPITAL EXPENDITURE OF RS.120000.000 MILLIONS DURING FY’13


New Delhi, 21 September 2012

 

Shareholders approve provision of ‘Buyback of shares’: at AGM

 

“SAIL has taken various initiatives in optimizing operations, better value addition in downstream units, reducing coke consumption by enhancing alternate fuels like Coal Dust Injection in blast furnaces etc”, said Mr C.S. Verma, Chairman of Maharatna Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), at the company’s 40th Annual General Meeting held here today. Notwithstanding the short term dampeners in the Indian and the world economy, he expressed confidence in the growth of the Indian steel industry driven by the increased infrastructure investment and higher pace of urbanisation. “In terms of per capita consumption of finished steel, India at 57 kg lags behind the world average of 214.7 kg, indicating a huge potential for growth”, he said.
