INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

We are living in a world where volatility and uncertainty have become the New Normal. We saw a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Vietnam. Once powerful countries in Europe are now fighting for bankruptcy. We have taken growth in the developing part of the world for granted but economic growth in China and India has begun to slow. Companies that were synonymous with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its operations, HMV, the British entertainment retailing company and Borders, once the second largest bookstore have shut down due to their inability to evolve their business models with the changing time. Readers’ Digest, Thomson Register are no more !

There is another megatrend happening. The World order is changing as economic power shifts from West to East. According to McKinsey study, it took Britain more than 100 years to double its economic output per person during its industrial revolution and the US later took more than 50 years to do the same. More than a century later, China and India have doubled their GDP per capital in 12 and 18 years respectively. By 2020, emerging Asia will become the world’s largest consuming block, overtaking North America.

The years after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to remain fragile. The Indian economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in the initial years of the contagion but finally lost ground last year. GDP growth slowed down. Currency has been weakening. There is a marked deceleration in agriculture, industry and services. Dampening sentiment led to a cut-back in investment as well as private consumption expenditure. Inflation remained at high levels fuelled by the pressure from the food and fuel sectors. The large fiscal and current account deficit s continued to cause grave concern. It is imperative that India regains its growth trajectory of 8-9 % sooner than later. This is crucially important given the need to create gainful livelihood opportunities for the millions living in poverty as also the large contingent of young people joining the job market every year.

World crude steel production reached 1,527 Million tonnes (Mt) for the year of 2011. This is an increase of 6.8% compared to 2010 and is a record for global crude steel production.

Annual production for Asia was 988.2 Mt of crude steel in 2011, an increase of 7.9% compared to 2010. The region's share of world steel production increased slightly from 64.0% in 2010 to 64.7% in 2011.

The international steel industry has been recording a gradual improvement since 2010, with production levels rising steadily in all regions. This revival has been propelled by the global economic resurgence (as evident in rising industrial production across major geographies) as well as the government stimulus provided in key regions. The global economy is on the recovery path while advanced economies are expected to pick up growth momentum. The emerging economies will consolidate with moderate growth as the focus is shifted to contain inflation while pursuing growth.

INDIAN STEEL INDUSTRY

India is the 4th largest producer of steel in the world and produced about 72 million tonnes (MT) of steel in FY 11, thus accounting for approximately 5% of the world's total production.

Globally, with the financial crisis spilling into the real economy, demand has slowed down. However, India is the only country in the world apart from China to post a positive overall growth in crude steel production over the last year. The recovery in steel production has been aided by the improved sales performance of steel companies. China and India are expected to provide the impetus for steel demand for the next few years.

India, being one of the fastest growing countries, showed significant increase in steel consumption during the last 3-4 years. Finished steel demand in India registered a healthy growth during last 7-8 years.

Major steel consuming sectors such as construction, infrastructure, pipe and tubes and machinery recorded significant growth over the last few years, driving the country's steel demand.

DEMAND SUPPLY SCENARIO FOR FLAT PRODUCTS

During the period 2002-03 to 2010-11, the finished steel production of flat products has increased from 17.69 MT to 30.8 MT, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.2%. The demand of these products has exhibited a CAGR of 13.23% in the same time period. This emphasizes the point that the demand for flat steel products is increasing at a rapid pace, thereby creating a ready market for steel producers in flat steel segment. It is evident from the following chart that the gap in production and consumption in last 2 years have been reduced to almost NIL.

Cold Rolled Steel

The total installed capacity of CR flats in India was 15.33 million tonnes at the end of 2009-10.The production of CR flats has exhibited a CAGR of 8% from 2002-03 to 2010-11. The consumption of CR flat products exhibited a CAGR of 9.5% in the same period.

Bulk of the CR Coils/Sheets produced in the country are consumed by the Coating Sector to produce value added steel which gives higher margins. The second largest consumer of CR Coils is the automobile industry using nearly 22% of total CR Coils produced.

Galvanised Steel

The total installed capacity of Galvanised Steel in India was 5.60 million tonnes per annum at the end of 2010-ll.The production of GP/GC sheets in India has increased significantly during the recent years. Due to the long life and durability of the product, it is used massively in development of infrastructure like Airports, Metro stations etc. Major producers of galvanized steel in the country have installed state-of-the-art technologies and are now capable of producing galvanized coils for high end applications.

India's galvanized steel products have been well accepted in the global market. This is evident from the fact that the production of galvanized products is higher than the domestic demand. This excess quantity is fed into the global market especially Middle east / African markets, which are a big consumer of these products.

HR Coils

The production of HR coils has exhibited a CAGR of around 10.46% in the past 8 years. Due to the increase in demand for value added products of HR coil like Cold rolled coils and coated steel products (Galvanized steel, galume steel etc.) the production of HR coils has accelerated. The consumption of HR itself has increased over the years with use of HR galvanized sheets in automobile sector. The growth in consumption of the HR coils in the past 8 years in India has outpaced the growth in production of HR coils.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

The steel industry cycle had turned negative during the latter half of 2008-09 resulting in margin compression for all steel players due to reduction in sales volume and realizations. Indian steel companies have, however shown signs of recovery.

COMPANY'S PROSPECTS

The company is on steel growth trajectory, led by strong volume growth and backward integration:

The company commenced the implementation of its integrated steel plant at Meramandali, Orissa in January 2005 as a backward integration to produce HR Coils in phased manner. The phase I and II of the project has been installed with the production capacity of Hot Roll Coil Mill (1.90 Mtpa), Billets (3,00,000 TPA) and Power Plant (110 MW). With the start up of HR plant of 1.9 MTPA at Orissa the company's dependence on others to supply primary steel ended up resulting in full control of margins.

The Company's Brownfield project Phase III at Orissa is scheduled for completion in FY 13 which is envisaging setting up of additional 2.5 MTPA HRC Capacity in addition to Phase II capacity to ensure optimum utilization of infrastructure and resources at the existing plant to utilize the full capacity of Hot Rolling (HR) mill being implemented. The total HRC of the company shall be 4.4 MTPA once the project will be completed.

It is one of the most modern integrated steel and Power Complex which deploys best available technologies, thereby enabling Subject to produce auto grade HR Coil for the first time in India.

At a time of Economic, Industrial slowdown and uncertain socio-regulatory conditions, Subject has been investing in expansion that is nearing completion with economic growth now in sight. Subject's investments are so timed that they ensure reaping the benefits at the right time when demand is expected to rise. Subject over the period of time has added significantly to its offering right from secondary steel to primary steel and then to value-added steel to ERW Pipes and excelled on customer expectations. Today, when completion of Phase III expansion by adding 2.5 MTPA primary steel is well within site, Bhushan's strategic vision reflects in nearing truly backward and forward integrated operations.

The Company has been allocated Iron Ore Mines and Coal Mines by the Orissa Government. The work on these mines has been started and the mines are likely to be operational within 2-3 years. The Company has also acquired sizeable stake in Bowen Energy Ltd, Australia, which has the license for exploring coking coal mines in Queensland, Australia. With the development of all these mines the Company shall be able to increase the margin in future. Thus, going forward the Company is expected to show significant growth in its Topline as well as Bottom line.

PERFORMANCE

The company is engaged in Steel business, which is context of Accounting Standard (AS)-17 issued by the institute of Chartered Accountants of India is considered the only business segment. The overall operational performance of the company has been much satisfactory during the year. The plants have operated optimally during the year and there were no major break downs or shutdowns.

PRESS RELEASE

CBEC DETECTS RS.240.000 MILLIONS CENTRAL EXCISE DUTY EVASION BY BHUSHAN STEEL LIMITED

May 20, 2013

NEW DELHI: The Revenue Department today said it has detected a case of central excise duty evasion estimated at Rs.240.000 Millions against Bhushan Steel Limited (BSL).

"Investigation conducted by Directorate General of Central Excise Intelligence (DGCEI) so far indicated irregular availment of Cenvat credit to the tune of Rs.240.000 Millions approximately by Bhushan Steel Limited," the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) said in a statement.

Extensive searches were conducted at 14 places across the five states Delhi, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Uttara Khand and Rajasthan including their factory and trader's godowns at Delhi, Aligarh and Agra and transporter's offices at Udaipur and Haridwar on March 20, 2013, it added.

DGCEI has booked a case against Bhushan Steel Limited, a manufacturer of hot and cold rolled galvanised products for fraudulent availment of Cenvat credit on zinc ingots purchased from Hindustan Zinc Limited, Haridwar on the basis of invoices only without receiving the goods, the CBEC said.

It said during preliminary inquiry, the key officials of BSL including their vice vhairman-cum-managing director admitted to the modus operandi and an amount of Rs.120.000 Millions has been deposited towards their duty liability.

CENTRAL EXCISE DEPT FILES FRAUD SUIT AGAINST BHUSHAN STEEL

May 21, 2013

During the intelligence operation, movement of two live consignments of zinc ingots from Haridwar was tracked as a result of which 55.955 MTs of Zinc Ingots valued at Rs. 8.179 Millions were traced to the traders’ godown at Aligarh which were seized alongwith the trucks (valued at Rs. 2.982 Millions).

Directorate General of Central Excise Intelligence (Hqrs.), New Delhi, a unit of Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC), Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance recently has booked a case against M/S Bhushan Steels Limited (M/s BSL), village-Nifan, near Khopoli, Distt. Raigad (Maharashtra) , a manufacturer of hot/cold rolled ‘galvanized’ products, for fraudulent availment of Cenvat credit on zinc ingots purchased from M/s Hindustan Zinc Limited (M/s HZL), Haridwar on the basis of invoices only without actually receiving the goods. Extensive searches were conducted at 14 places across the Five States i.e., Delhi, Maharashtra, U.P., Uttara Khand and Rajasthan including their factory and traders’ godowns at Delhi, Aligarh and Agra and transporter’s offices at Udaipur and Haridwar on 20.03.2013.

Modus operandi adopted was that despite having ‘F.O.R.’ (free on receipt) MOU with M/s HZL in general, M/s BSL arranged their own transportation specifically for Khopoli supplies and entire quantity of zinc so purchased was transported through M/s Mewar Transport Company (Udaipur) and diverted to traders based in Delhi, Agra and Aligarh. After the goods were unloaded at Delhi/Agra/Aligarh godowns of the traders, only invoices and GRs were sent to M/s BSL’s Sahibabad office and then to their Khopoli factory for availing irregular cenvat credit without receipt of goods. Payments were reportedly received in cash for zinc ingots sold to the traders. Entire operation was orchestrated by the Assistant Vice President (Finance) under direct supervision of Vice Chairman-Cum-Managing Director of M/s Bhushan Steels group.

At the residences of the two traders and AVP (Finance) of M/s BSL, unaccounted cash amounting to Rs.1.92 Millions was seized for further enquiry.

During preliminary inquiry, the key officials of M/s BSL including their Vice Chairman-cum-Managing Director,admitted to the modus operandi and an amount of Rs. 120.000 Millions has been deposited towards their duty liability. Investigation conducted so far indicated irregular availment of Cenvat credit to the tune of Rs. 240.000 Millions approx.

BHUSHAN STEEL SEEKS CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ORISSA

February 06 2013

Bhushan Power and Steel (BPSL) has asked the Supreme Court to initiate contempt proceedings against the Orissa government for failing to comply with the apex court’s order that asked it to recommend BPSL’s case for grant of iron ore reserves to the Central government. The compamy needed the iron ore reserves for the company’s 2.8- million-tonne integrated steel plant at Lapanga.

BPSL claimed that the state government has only recommended grant of 96 million tonne of iron ore reserves in Keonjhar (Thakurani area) and is yet to send the recommendation for an additional 128 million tonne in Keora (Sundergarh district) to meet its requirement of 1.6 million tonne for 50 years.

On the other hand, the state government said that a recommendation had been made to the Central government for grant of mining lease to BPSL in December last year for Thakurani-A block and the same is adequate to feed the requirement of “a 2.4-MTPA steel plant for 25 years”.

A bench headed by chief justice Altamas Kabir posted the matter for hearing on March 11.

Saying that the state was obliged to make recommendation to the Centre for grant of iron ore mines, BPSL claimed that it had invested around Rs.200000.000 Millions in its integrated steel plant.

BPSL senior counsel Mukul Rohtagi submitted that although about 10 months have lapsed since the judgment, the state government has only partially complied with the orders, compelling the company to procure the iron ore from the open market at exorbitant prices.

“The whole purpose of setting up the plant was that BPSL will have captive mines with assured supply, making the production economically viable…,” the contempt petition stated.

As for mining leases in Sundargarh district, a part of the area applied for overlaps with area earlier applied for by Larsen and Toubro and Tata Iron and Steel Company, and almost entirely falls within the areas notified under Rule 59(1) of the Mineral Concession Rules, 1960.

Arguing that the state had not deliberately flouted the orders, senior counsel L Nageswar Rao, appearing for the state, said that the Department of Steel and Mines is faced with difficulty in processing BPSL's recommendation due to overlapping areas.

He further said that that several applications with requests for overlapping areas are embroiled in pending litigation and, therefore, the state cannot be held responsible for delays.

The Supreme Court, while setting aside the Orissa High Court judgment that refused to interfere with the state government’s decision asking BPSL to sign a fresh MoU, had in March last year directed the Orissa government to take appropriate steps to act in line with terms of the MoU signed with the firm on May 15, 2002.

COALGATE: SKS ISPAT AND POWER, BHUSHAN STEEL MOVE COURT AGAINST DE-ALLOCATION OF COAL MINES

September 24, 2012

NEW DELHI: SKS Ispat and Power linked to tourism minister Subodh Kant Sahai, and Bhushan Steel have challenged the de-allocation of their coal blocks in the Delhi High Court, even before they received any formal communication about cancellation.

Coal blocks were de-allocated after an inter-ministerial group (IMG) reviewed the progress of work in the blocks and recommended action after hearing the response of the companies that were issued notices.

BHUSHAN STEEL’S ODISHA UNIT IN THE DOCK FOR ILLEGAL EXPANSION

July 20, 2012

Bhushan Steel Limited (BSL), a Delhi-based conglomerate, has been slapped with a case in a district court in Dhenkanal in Odisha for undertaking expansion without necessary approvals. The district collector has filed the case against BSL for violating provisions of the Environment Protection Act (EPA).

The company is operating a 3.1 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) unit at Meramandali village and has applied for environmental clearance for phase III expansion to 5.6 MTPA. While the clearance for the said expansion is pending with the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), the firm had started its expansion as per media reports.

Earlier in March, an MoEF expert committee had undertaken inspection of the plant. “The committee found the plant is indeed in a very poor state of environment compliance,” said one of the committee members who requested anonymity. “The committee found major violations in the plant with respect to EPA, drawing from reports by Odisha State Pollution Control Board (OSPCB) and their own site inspections,” said A K Swar, senior environment engineer of the board. “The committee also noted that the expansion was being undertaken without clearances. Hence, the committee had asked the state to take legal action against BSL. Consequently, the state environment secretary had directed the district collector to file case against BSL,” says Swar.

The Meramandali unit of BSL has a long track record of non-compliance with the environment norms. In October last year, OSPCB had served the unit with closure notice. It had also asked BSL to stop construction work on the proposed expansion till all statutory clearances have been obtained, says Sitikantha Sahu, regional officer, Angul office of the board. “Yet BSL paid no heed to the warnings, prompting MoEF to inspect and file case against BSL,” he adds. Prasanna Kumar Behera of non-profit Nature Environment and Wildlife Society in Angul laments: "The local community around BSL is already suffering due to poor environmental management. Majority of the community has also opposed the expansion in the public hearing conducted on October 28, 2010,” he says. Incidentally, Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), a Delhi-based non-profit, had also rated the plant last among 21 plants in the steel sector in the recently concluded Green Rating Project.

The plant did not participate in the voluntary disclosure initiative and obtained a meagre score of just two marks out of 100. The project brought to light BSL’s track record of non-compliance with environmental pollution norms and heightened concerns of the local community.

Interestingly, even while the several violations and problems of the plant are being reported in MoEF, pollution control board and media agencies, the stock market equity research firms are providing wrong information to the investor community. CSE found that reputed firms such as State Bank of India Capital Markets (SBI CAP) in its June 8, 2012 report and Motilal Oswal in its May 16, 2012 report have concluded that expansion of BSL Meramandali unit to 5.6 MTPA is on track and is expected to be completed by March, 2013. SBI CAP states: “Phase III expansion in its last leg”, and “Phase III is on track and is expected to come on stream by end of Financial Year 2013.” Motilal Oswal states: “Phase III expansion is expected to be commissioned in 4QFY13.” “Clearly, this shows willful ignorance of proper environmental due diligence by equity research organisations and gives a wrong signal to investors as well,” says a senior official of CSE.

BHUSHAN STEEL LIMITED RELIES ON PROVEN KAMAG TRANSPORT TECHNOLOGY – A NEW SLAG POT TRANSPORTER FOR INDIA

May 2011

Ulm-based KAMAG Transporttechnik has supplied a new slag pot transporter to Bhushan Steel Limited in India. In so doing, the reliable KAMAG transport system was the preferred choice in spite of fierce competition from the Far East.

Extreme operating conditions with loads of hot slag reaching temperatures of up to 1,300 degrees: the tough working environment in steel plants presents a great challenge to workers and machines in equal measure. KAMAG transport systems have been developed in particular to meet the requirements of the metallurgy industry. They are unaffected by heat, dirt or heavy loads. These strong arguments convinced India´s third biggest steel producer, Bhushan Steel Limited, to use the proven technology from KAMAG. As a result, German quality craftsmanship from KAMAG won through against other manufacturers from the Far East.

The slag pot transporter for Bhushan Steel Limited is 13 metres long, 5.5 metres wide and 4.3 metres high. Weighing 86 t, the vehicle - Type 2703-100 - is suitable for carrying 18 m³ as well as 25 m³ slag pots with loads up to 100 t, and is driven by a 405 hp diesel engine. Using 2 hydraulic dumping arms which are arranged and dimensioned so that the tilting point of the pot is positioned as far away as possible from vehicle, the slag pot is picked up and, through the use of additional dumping arms, the slag pot is tilted to ensure that it is completely emptied due to dumping angles of up to 180°.

With the new generation of slag pot transporters, which will soon be in operation at Bhushan, KAMAG has re-defined the "SAFETY slag transport" issue. Safety not only for the transportation process but also for the operating personnel. Example: the entire tilting procedure is shown on a multi-functional display in the driver´s cab. As a result, the driver is kept fully up-to-date about all functional processes whether, for example, the rear support required for tilting operations has been extended or if the locking procedure for the slag pot has taken place correctly. In addition, the new industry transporter has, among other things, a closed prime mover covering, protective roof complete with border strip and an emergency operation system which functions independent of the on-board electronics.

Slag pot transporters from KAMAG are used in many foundries and steel mills around the world. They have had a decisive influence on the shaping of modern and cost-effective transportation of molten slag. As the transport of molten slag is one of the most challenging tasks in metallurgical plants, no transportation job requires as much concentration and attention from the service personnel as this. The new generation of slag pot transporter - the 2700 series - is based on over 40 years of experience which KAMAG has gained as one of the leading manufacturers of special vehicles. Other transport vehicles are available which round off the KAMAG programme for industrial logistics. Ladle transporters and industrial lift transporters in foundries and steel plants, ship section lift transporters in shipyards and modular transporters in the off-shore industry are daily features in this industry. Since the beginning of 2010, modular-designed road vehicles have been part of KAMAG Transporttechnik´s product portfolio: the SCHEUERLE-KAMAG K25 as well as an additional platform trailer with a low overall height, the K22. Both types of vehicle are based on a common development platform within the TII Group.

SKS ISPAT, BHUSHAN STEEL MAY LOSE COAL BLOCKS

The Zohra-Chatterjee-headed Inter-Ministerial Group (IMG) is learnt to have recommended the cancellation of two more coal blocks, including the Fatehpur mine allocated to the controversial SKS Ispat, which was linked to Sudhir Kant Sahay, brother of Union Tourism Minister Subodh Kant Sahay, and the other one to Bhushan Steel and Strips Limited It also recommended forfeiture of bank guarantee for the recipients of two other blocks.

However, the fate of the Gourangdih ABC block in West Bengal, owned by the Sajjan-Jindal-owned JSW Steel Limited and Himachal EMTA, was not known. However, government sources said the IMG had recommended the cancellation of this block also.

The IMG, which met here for the third consecutive day on Saturday, reviewed allocations of four coal blocks and recommended de-allocation of two blocks. This included SKS Ispat, in which Mr. Sudhir Kant Sahay is a promoter and honorary executive director. The decision to de-allocate the Fatehpur block in Chhattisgarh should come as a sigh of relief for the beleaguered Tourism Minister. SKS Ispat had bagged this block on June 2, 2008 with extractable reserves of 87.6 million tones.

Similarly, the IMG also recommended de-allocation of the New Patrapara coal block allotted to the Pradeep-Khaitan-promoted Bhushan Steel and Strips and others in 2006. The block had huge extractable reserves of around 316 million tonnes. The IMG recommended that the bank guarantees of the Bijahan and Radhikapur East coal blocks in Odisha, allocated to Bhushan Power and Steel and Tata Sponge Iron Limited, be forfeited. The Bijahan block was allocated in 2006 and holds total extractable reserves of 161 million tonnes. The Tata-group-owned Radhikapur East block holds extractable reserves up to 105.24 tonnes.

The IMG already recommended cancellation of coal blocks held by four private companies, namely Castron Mining Limited, Field Mining and Ispat Limited, DOMCO Smokeless Fuels Private Limited and Shree Virangana Steels Limited the CAG report presented to the Parliament on August 17 said coal block allocations led to a presumptive loss of Rs.1.86 lakh crore. The IMG has forwarded its recommendations to the Coal Ministry, which is expected to take further action in the matter on Monday, September 17.

BHUSHAN STEEL’S ODISHA UNIT IN THE DOCK FOR ILLEGAL EXPANSION

July 20, 2012

Interestingly, even while the several violations and problems of the plant are being reported in MoEF, pollution control board and media agencies, the stock market equity research firms are providing wrong information to the investor community. CSE found that reputed firms such as State Bank of India Capital Markets (SBI CAP) in its June 8, 2012 report and Motilal Oswal in its May 16, 2012 report have concluded that expansion sof BSL Meramandali unit to 5.6 MTPA is on track and is expected to be completed by March, 2013. SBI CAP states: “Phase III expansion in its last leg”, and “Phase III is on track and is expected to come on stream by end of Financial Year 2013.” Motilal Oswal states: “Phase III expansion is expected to be commissioned in 4QFY13.” “Clearly, this shows willful ignorance of proper environmental due diligence by equity research organisations and gives a wrong signal to investors as well,” says a senior official of CSE.
