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.

HISTORY

Subject is one of the integrated steel makers and the largest private sector producer of hot rolled coils in India. Incorporated in the year 1984 by founding chairman M. L. Mittal, A corporate powerhouse with operations in iron, steel, mining, energy and infrastructure. The company's core competency is the production of high quality steel, for which it employs cutting edge technologies and stringent quality standards. It produces world-class sponge iron, galvanised sheets and cold rolled coils, in addition to hot rolled coils, through its two state-of-the art integrated steel plants, located at Dolvi and Kalmeshwar in the state of Maharashtra. To better provide steel solutions to an increasingly sophisticated marketplace, subject had sets up a highly advanced cold rolling reversing mill during the year 1988, in collaboration with Hitachi of Japan, to manufacture a wide range of cold rolled carbon steel strips. In the same year, the company installed a colour coating line, the first of its kind in India for the manufacture of pre-painted colour steel sheets. During the year 1994, Business interests within the Ispat Group are demarcated. The eldest son, Mr. L N Mittal continues to manage the international operations while Mr. Pramod Mittal and Mr. Vinod Mittal, the younger brothers focused on steel and other businesses in India. In the identical year 1994, it commissioned the world's largest gas-based single mega module plant for manufacturing direct reduced iron (sponge iron), at its Maharashtra-based Dolvi plant. Within three months, the plant exceeds its capacity of 1 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of high quality DRI. The company came out with a Euro-issue of 125-mln fully convertible bonds in 1994 to part-finance the expansion of its hot strip mill (HSM) capacity to 2.50 lac TPA. During the year 1995, A 1.5 MTPA hot strip mill with Continuous Strip Processing (CSP) technology was installed at Dolvi. A mechanised multi-functional jetty situated close to the plant facilitates the automation of raw material handling. A world-class integrated steel plant for the production of hot rolled coils was launched in the year 1998, armed with cutting edge technologies, such as the Conarc Process for steel making and the Compact Strip Process, both introduced for the first time in Asia. The year 2000 was new millennium to the company, witnessed to the erection and commissioned a 2 MTPA blast furnace at the Dolvi steel complex in record time. During the year 2003, the company's Blast Furnace was commissioned and the Sponge iron capacity was increased from 1.2 mtpa to 1.4 mtpa. The Hot rolled coil steel-making capacity increased from 1.5 mtpa to 2.4 mtpa in the year 2004 and also the Sponge iron capacity increased from 1.4 mtpa to 1.6 mtpa in during the same period. Ispat Metallics India Limited (IMIL) was merged with subject with effect from 1st April of the year 2004 in the ratio of 1:1. Oxygen Plant of the company with daily capacity of 1260 Tons has been commissioned in December 2005. Plant Operations have since stabilized, consequently, no dependence on external sources for oxygen supply and also Sinter Plant of the annual capacity of 2.24 Million Tons per annum has been commissioned in December of the year 2005. The Company received the Golden Peacock Environment Management Award, 2006, awarded by Institute of Directors. During the year 2006-07, The Company entered into the separate Memoranda of Understanding with the respective State Governments, such as Government of Maharashtra for expansion in steel-making capacity at Dolvi Steel Complex to 5 Million Tons annually and with Government of Chattisgarh for setting-up a coal-based power plant of the capacity of 1200 MW. In January of the year 2007, the company signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Jharkhand government for setting up an initial production of 2.8 million tonne, to be scaled up to five million tonne in phases. The cost of the integrated steel plant, which would come up at Manoharpur in West Singhbhum district, was estimated to be Rs.67500 millions. Ispat Industries has decided to offload around 25% stake in its wholly owned subsidiary, Ispat Energy, to private equity funds to raise around Rs.8000 millions during January of the year 2008. The Company aims to consolidate its market leadership in the national specialty steel market by capitalising on the proximity of its manufacturing facilities to major consumers of flat steel products in Maharashtra, while increasing its presence in international markets by using its convenient port location. In the short span of time since its inception, Ispat Industries has steadily raised the bar - in terms of its relentless pursuit of technological advancement, unwavering focus on innovation, strident emphasis on quality products and its constant initiatives aimed at ensuring customer satisfaction.

STANDALONE RESULTS:

Revenue from operations during the year was Rs. 121235.500 Millions representing growth of 35% over previous year. Profit before interest and finance costs and depreciation was Rs. 11931.900 Millions. After providing for interest and finance costs of Rs. 10760.000 Millions, profit before depreciation was Rs. 1171.900 Millions, compared to loss before depreciation of Rs. 3734.800 Millions during the previous year, registering marked improvement in operations during the year.

After providing for depreciation of Rs. 6268.300 Millions, loss before considering exceptional items was Rs. 5096.400 Millions. Exceptional items (details of which are set-out in Note No. 28 of the Notes forming part of the accounts) aggregating to Rs. 5864.600 Millions have been provided for in the accounts and, consequently, loss before tax was Rs. 10961.000 Millions. After considering Deferred Tax Credit of Rs. 7791.800 Millions, net loss during the year was Rs. 3169.200 Millions. The loss is proposed to be carried to next year’s accounts.

OPERATIONS:

Production of Hot Rolled Coils at 2.48 Million MTs was higher by 13% compared to the previous year. Production of Direct Reduced Iron (Sponge Iron) at 1.27 Million MTs and production of Hot Metal at 1.59 Million MTs were respectively higher by 5% and 17% compared to previous year. Availability of administered price gas and natural gas continues to be extremely restricted with consequent severe adverse impact on input prices and production of Direct Reduced Iron. Production of Cold Rolled Steel Coils/Sheets and Galvanized Coils/ Sheets was higher at 0.33 Million MTs and 0.26 Million MTs, respectively, compared to previous year.

Sales of Hot Rolled Coils at 2.50 Million MTs was higher by 20%, compared to previous year. Sales of Galvanized Coils/Sheets at 0.23 Million MTs was higher by 117% compared to previous year. Sales of PVC Coated Sheets at 0.06 Million MTs had improved by 21% compared to previous year. While prices of coke and coal had moderated, cost of iron ore and pellets had increased substantially during the year. As a result, steel production cost had registered marked increase during the year.

Various initiatives have been undertaken for improving operating efficiencies and also ensuring raw material security. The Company has undertaken rolling of thinner gauge coils upto 1.22 mm, which would result in multiple product applications. Alternate cost-effective sources of supply have been identified for critical inputs, such as iron ore, coke etc. During the year, Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) had accorded open access permission to the Company for wheeling of 220 MW power from one of the units (captive to the Company) of JSW Energy Limited. The approval was granted during January, 2012 and the Company has entered into an “Energy Wheeling Agreement” with JSW Energy Limited to ensure availability of power supply on long term basis. The Company has, therefore, been receiving power from JSW Energy Limited since January, 2012 and excess power, if any, is sold to MSEDCL. Consequently, the Company has been able to achieve valuable savings in cost of power.

Due to depreciation in value of Indian Rupee against foreign currencies, the Company had incurred net foreign exchange fluctuation loss of Rs. 3790.000 Millions during the year on operating balance/forward exchange contracts and Mark-to-Market position on derivative contracts.

EXPORTS:

Global steel demand has been slack due to negative economic indicators in various economies. Export earnings during the year was Rs. 1380.000 Millions, signifying reduction of 72% over the previous year. The Company would continue to integrate its export strategies with global steel demand conditions.

ECONOMIC SCENARIO:

Global economy continues to be volatile and faces constraints owing to the Eurozone debt crisis and the slow recovery of US economy. There has been a marked deterioration in the overall environment in Europe leading to sharp contraction in steel demand. US economy, meanwhile, has been registering slow growth and demand for steel is expected to improve. Chinese GDP growth appears to have moderated, though its economy is expected to benefit in 2013 due to the easing of credit conditions and fresh investments in large projects.

Indian GDP is widely expected to grow by 6% during the current year. Indian economy is facing an outflow of investment funds, lower industrial production and delays in start-up of major privately-financed projects. Manufacturing output is lower by 4% year-to-year. Current account deficit is a major concern and the Indian Rupee has weakened sharply. Inflationary threat looms large and limits the ability of Reserve Bank of India to reduce interest rates. Policy initiatives aimed at speeding-up of infrastructure projects are likely to accelerate steel demand in the country.

Steel prices have been depressed owing to overall global economic condition. Steel capacity utilization has been below 80% and margin continues to remain under intense pressure. Iron ore and coking coal prices, however, remain stable and the volatility witnessed in the previous year appears to have moderated.

PROJECTS:

Speedy progress is being made in implementation of the Company’s planned projects, namely, power plant of the capacity of 55 MW, lime calcining plant of the capacity of 600 Tons per day, railway siding at Dolvi steel complex and the second colour coating line of the capacity of 0.1 Million Tons per annum at Kalmeshwar complex. The lime calcining plant, railway siding and second colour coating line are scheduled to be completed during the current financial year of the Company. The power plant is likely to be commissioned during the first quarter of next fiscal.

The coke oven project of the capacity of 1 Million Tons per annum being set up at the Company’s Dolvi steel complex, through a Special Purpose Vehicle company, is expected to be commissioned by March 2014. Financial closure has already been achieved and project activities are presently in progress. Iron ore pellet project of the capacity of 4 Million Tons per annum is also being set-up at the Company’s Dolvi steel complex, through a special Purpose Vehicle company. The project is expected to be commissioned by September, 2014.

Additionally, the Company is planning to install a 6 Hi Mill of the capacity of 0.2 Million Tons per annum at its Kalmeshwar complex. Addition of the mill would increase coating volume by over 15000 MTs per month by utilizing existing coating capacities. The project is expected to be commissioned by December 2013.

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES:

During the year, the Company has acquired the entire outstanding equity shares of Peddar Realty Private Limited and, consequently, Peddar Realty Private Limited has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company effective 16th May, 2012. The equity shares have been acquired with a view to ensure, inter-alia, higher degree of control over the amount due by Peddar Realty Private Limited to the Company.

During the year, the Company divested its equity holdings in Ispat Jharkhand Steels Limited, since the Memorandum of Understanding entered into by Ispat Jharkhand Steels Limited with Government of Jharkhand for setting-up an integrated steel plant is not being pursued. Consequently, Ispat Jharkhand Steels Limited ceased to be a subsidiary of the Company effective 29th June, 2012.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS:

GLOBAL STEEL SCENARIO:

The global steel industry has been significantly impacted due to the Eurozone crisis and imbalances in several major economies. The overall fall in real disposable income in major economies and high degree of unemployment have impacted business confidence levels. Financially restricted conditions across the world have reduced many manufacturing companies’ optimism and a sizable number of enterprises are reassessing their capital spending plans. In the prevailing economic and political global situation, the steel industry faces unique challenges and uncertainties. The major challenge for steel manufacturers is insufficient demand to sustain cost-effective operations and the battle for market share. Steel buyers are challenged to find the perfect timing to finalize deals over fear of either suffering inventory losses or missing procurement at appropriate prices.

Risks for the steel mills are expected to intensify in the second half of 2012. Economic indicators in developed nations, with USA being one of the major exceptions, seem to be worsening. Outside of Germany, the European Union appears to be sliding into a deeper recession. Among BRIC Countries, Brazil’s economy appears to be stagnating and growth prospects in Russia look mixed. The Indian economy is suffering profoundly from an outflow of investment funds and lower industrial production. More worrying is the fact that Chinese economic indicators seem to be slackening.

The US economy so far has remained stronger than expected. Steel demand has been up 7% year-over-year. However, domestic hot-rolled spot price slipped to about $649 per ton in late-May 2012, down from the recent high of $740 per ton in late-January 2012, which is a reflection on the prevailing market sentiments. For 2012, Chinese steel demand is expected to rise 6% to 685 million tons, with net exports at about 40 million tons. In the first quarter of 2012, net exports were over 9 million tons. Chinese economy in 2013 is expected to benefit from government’s easing of credit conditions. Less restrictive credit is likely to lead to rise in capital spending and apparent steel consumption.

INDIAN STEEL SCENARIO:

Price stability and growth are major challenges facing the Indian policy makers. Indian economy is expected to grow at 6% during the current year down from over 8% in 2010-11. While GDP growth has been low, the growing trade deficit, inflationary pressures and weakening currency have led to a weak investment sentiment and slowed industrial growth. Crude steel production during 2011-12 was 74 Million tons, registering a growth of 4% over the previous year. Steel demand in the country is expected to grow by 6% during the current year, in tandem with growth in GDP.

The steady depletion in availability of key raw material sources is a matter of significant concern for Indian steel makers. Domestic supply of iron ore has been significantly impacted due to environmental concerns. As a result, Indian steel makers are exposed to the vagaries of international demand pulls and price fluctuations. Supply of coking coal has also been limited in domestic markets leading to surge in imports. Volatility in prices of key inputs threaten stability of operations of steel majors in the country.

High fiscal deficit levels have cast doubts on the country’s ability to meet the budget goals. Price pressures remain elevated and infrastructure output growth has further slowed down. The domestic demand-driven economy has been steadily slowing down and government’s revenue receipts have been severely impacted. Contraction in key sectors of the economy, namely, natural gas, cement, coal and infrastructure are reflected in weakening industrial activity.

Growth of capital goods sector is vital for stability of the steel industry. High level of investment in the capital goods sector is crucial for industrial growth. The dip in index of Industrial Production and the current inflationary pressures have resulted in slow growth of the capital goods sector during last few months. Thrust on infrastructure spending is essential to revive the growth pattern in the capital goods sector in the coming months.

OUTLOOK:

Macroeconomic policy-making in our country is expected to be driven largely by the twin issues of growth and inflation control. While continuing its efforts to achieve price stability, the government has not been able to fast-track policies on accelerating economic growth. Meanwhile, global economic under-currents continue to impact our country’s growth prospects.

Domestic steel consumption would be driven by the growth in manufacturing, infrastructure and consumer durable segments. Steel demand is expected to grow structurally, notwithstanding downside risks of slower growth in the short term, due to macroeconomic deficiencies. Increasing urbanization and infrastructure growth opportunities are likely to propel domestic steel demand.

The Company is committed to ensuring timely implementation of its projects, so as to achieve rationalization in input costs. The Company is taking proactive steps to reduce cost and improve its operating processes. The Company shall focus on improving the market share of its products.

NOTES:-

1. a) The Auditors in their audit report on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended 30th June 2012 and limited review report on the unaudited financial results for the quarter ended 30th September 2012 had qualified the recognition of net Deferred Tax Asset (DTA) of Rs. 20879.400 Millions and Rs. 21108.700 Millions respectively.

Deferred Tax Asset of Rs. 1110.500 Millions has been recognised during the quarter ended 31st December 2012 and net DTA as on 31st December 2012 stands at Rs. 22219.200 Millions. There are carried forward unabsorbed depreciation and business losses as at 31st December 2012. In view of various measures taken by the Company for enhancing operating efficiency, tie-up of reliable alternate sources of power and critical inputs, setting-up of crucial projects aimed at achieving raw material integration, major savings in input costs as well as future profitability projections and the Composite Scheme of Arrangement and Amalgamation set out in (b) below, the Company is virtually certain that there would be sufficient taxable income in future, to claim the above tax credit.
These financial results have been drawn up as per the going concern assumption, which is appropriate in the opinion of the Company.

b) The Board of Directors of the Company on 1st September 2012 approved a Composite Scheme of Arrangement and Amalgamation under section 391 to 394 of the Companies Act, 1956 amongst JSW Steel Limited, JSW ISPAT Steel Limited, JSW Building Systems Limited, JSW Steel Coated Products Limited (formerly Maharashtra Sponge Iron Limited) and their Respective Shareholders and Creditors with 1st July 2012 being the 'Appointed Date'. Approval for the Scheme has been received from the shareholders and certain regulatory authorities.

PRESS RELEASE:

JSW ISPAT MERGER APPROVED BY JSW STEEL SHAREHOLDERS

JANUARY 31, 2013

JSW Steel today said its shareholders have approved merger of JSW Ispat Steel with itself, paving the way for the company to become second largest steel producer in the country.

In a filing to the BSE, the Sajjan Jindal-led company said that 99.99 per cent shareholders voted in favour of merging JSW Ispat with the company in the meeting, held yesterday.

Now, a formal nod of the Bombay High Court is required to complete the merger process. Post merger, JSW Steel will have an annual production capacity of 14.3 million tonnes and become second largest domestic producer after SAIL.

According to the merger plan, shareholders of JSW Ispat will get one JSW Steel share for every 72 shares they hold.Moreover, JSW Ispat will transfer its Kalmeshwar undertaking and JSW Steel will transfer its downstream undertaking to JSW Steel Coated Products.

Besides, JSW Building Systems will also be merged with JSW Steel.

Announcing the merger in September, JSW Steel chairman Sajjan Jindal had said that "this merger will give us a lot of synergy in operation and economies of scale. We can now go for brown-field expansion at Vijayanagar in Karnataka and Dolvi in Maharashtra."

Besides, it will also reduce the cost of borrowing for JSW Ispat and the merged entity is likely to get Rs 2500.000 Millions benefit from it.

Moreover, the net debt level of the merged entity would be around Rs 252000.000 Millions with a debt to equity ratio of 1:1.15.

Post-merger, promoters of JSW Steel will hold 35.12 per cent in the merged entity, while company's second largest shareholder JFE Steel holding will come down to 14.92 per cent. JFE had 15 per cent stake in JSW Steel till the time of merger announcement.

JSW Steel had acquired 41 per cent stake in debt-ridden Ispat Industries from Pramod and Vinod Mittal, brothers of the steel czar L N Mittal, in December 2010 for about Rs 21570.000 Millions. Ispat Industries was subsequently named as JSW Ispat.

JSW Steel later increased its stake to 46.75 per cent and remains the single-largest shareholder in JSW Ispat.

The Mittal brothers will own around 3 per cent stake in the merged entity. Before the merger announcement, the Mittal brothers had nearly 20 per cent stake in JSW Ispat.

The trigger for the merger was JSW Ispat clocking a net profit of Rs 4782.400 Millions during the April-June quarter of 2012, which was its first one in last few years.

After returning to profit making, JSW Ispat would now be eligible to lay claim of deferred tax benefits of about Rs 20880.000 Millions, which would be a huge gain to JSW Steel.
