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.

GLOBAL SCENARIO
The global economy witnessed slow but steady recovery in year 2010 with leading indicators of economy viz. GDP, Industrial Production, Crude Oil Prices, Purchasing Managers’ Index, etc. improving across all regions post global recession of year 2009. Business confidence increased gradually through the year for most parts of the world. The automotive sector rebounded strongly, construction activities continued to decline, and the recovery of mechanical engineering, domestic appliances, metal goods and other transport equipment sectors remained subdued in 2010.
The fear of double-dip recession in advanced economies is
reduced given the fact that private demand is advancing while fiscal policy
support is diminishing. Financial conditions, though improved remain unusually
fragile particularly in
In many emerging market economies, demand is robust and
overheating is a growing policy concern. Rising food and commodity prices pose
a threat to poor households, adding to social and economic tensions, notably in
the Middle East and
The macroeconomic impact of the earthquake in
Overall, with the recovery stronger on the one hand but oil supply growth lower on the other, projections for global real GDP growth in 2011–12 are moderate.
INDIAN SCENARIO
The growth in Indian economy is expected to be moderate amidst inflationary pressures and rising interest rates. The impact of the past monetary policies and reduction in the pricing power, will slow down Industry and Services growth. The growth is Service Sector is projected to be lower and Industrial growth is likely to decline further. Overall GDP growth is expected to be in the range 7.7-8%. The investment demand is projected to moderate and the private consumption demand too could start slowing down due to increased interest rates in 2011-12. The RBI has revised interest rate upward several times since March 10, a dampener on consumption and growth.
STEEL INDUSTRY
Global Overview
Global Steel consumption reached 1283.6 mt in 2010 (up by 13.2% over
2009) which is a record consumption since inception.
The higher growth
rates witnessed in advanced economies reflects the rebound from the severe
downturn of the earlier years.
According to World
Steel Association, the global steel consumption is projected to reach 1359.2
mmt in 2011 (up by 5.9% over 2010). There are however uncertainties due to the
fragility in peripheral European economies, unrest in some oil producing countries
in the Middle East and the earthquake in
In US, the rebound
in apparent steel use is forecast to continue in 2011, reflecting the second
round of quantitative easing and new fiscal policy initiatives
Apparent steel use
in the EU is forecast to grow on the back of an export-driven industrial
rebound. The largest euro zone economies like
The recovery of steel use in the CIS has been healthy mainly due to a
strong rebound from steel-using sectors in
Given the pace of
steel production in the first quarter of 2011, Chinese apparent steel use could
be even higher. However, it is expected that the Chinese government’s efforts
to cool down the overheating economy, particularly the real estate sector, will
impact Chinese steel demand somewhat later this year.
Steel demand in the MENA region is expected to remain stagnant in 2011,
mainly due to downward revisions from North African countries.
Domestic Overview
The growth
momentum in the Indian steel industry continues.
In the financial
year 2010-11, steel consumption (non-alloy and alloy) in
The overall import
of steel though having declined from the previous year’s level, maintained a
high volume of 6.79 mmt. The Exports were marginally up and touched 3.46 mmt as
against 3.25 mmt during previous year. The country continued to be a net
importer of steel by over 3.0 mmt.
To meet the
growing domestic demand, the crude steel capacity is projected to increase from
78 mmt in 2011 to 98.4 mmt in 2012. The Finished Steel production in the
country is estimated to exceed 70 mt during FY 2012.
The outlook for the Indian steel industry looks promising.
OPERATIONS
The FY 2010-11 was a watershed in the history of the Company. The various facilities which were at project stage since last 2 to 3 years have been commissioned during the year and started operation. Further the year has witnessed expansion of capacity to add wide range of products.
The Company is the first in the world to have all three iron making technologies, viz. HBI – DRI, COREX and Blast Furnace at one location. This year the Company achieved highest production.
Key highlights of the year were:
·
The state-of-the-art Plate Mill with an installed
capacity of 1.5 MTPA with Heat Treatment facilities fully commissioned. It is
amongst
· Successful commission of CSP facility enables Company to produce hot-rolled coils up to 0.8 mm thickness, which will find wide applications in the automotive market. This will enable the Company to cater to a wider range of customer segments and product applications.
· The Blast Furnace commissioned on 23 rd November’10 which will help the Company in reducing the production cost by using alternate fuel.
· To reach 10 MTPA capacities, the company has started the following facilities also during the current year:
- ConArc furnace with capacity of 2.5 MTPA
- 6th DRI module
- 4th continuous Caster
- CSP Mill
- 2 Corex modules readied for startup
· Stabilization of DRI process with low grade pellets
· With sustained effort, the Slurry Pipe Line was started in December’10
· The Commissioning of the LSAW mill in the first half of FY 2010-11 added LSAW Pipes to the portfolio of specialized products.
During the year Company produced 3.58MT (flat product) and
achieved sales of 3.34MT, recording an increase of 6% and 3% respectively over
the previous year. During the year, Pellet production at Vizag and Steel
production at Hazira continued to be affected due to the suspension of material
movement through the slurry pipeline from Beneficiation Plant at Kirandul to
the Pellet Plant at Vizag for eight months of the year. This had an adverse
effect on the profitability. The Company undertook various measures to mitigate
the adverse impact by making alternative arrangements of movement of
The transportation of slurry through the 267 KM slurry pipeline from the Beneficiation Plant at Kirandul to the Pellet Plant at Vizag was suspended from May’09 to February’10 due to damage to the Pipeline. The company completed the repair and the restoration work by mid February’10 2010 and Slurry was pumped through the Pipeline to Vizag thereafter.
Since, the pipeline system was lying idle and was not operational for over 8 months, it was imperative to conduct a detailed end-to-end health check up of the entire system for safe and continuous operation. The health checkup activities were in advanced stages of completion and the Company was definitely well poised to complete the same by end March’10 in accordance with the plan and restart the pipeline system immediately thereafter on a continuous basis. Unfortunately, damage to Pumping Station (PS)-2 in Mar’10 forced the Company to halt all further activities at PS-2, while work at other locations continued and were completed as planned. However, the non-availability of PS-2, rendered the entire pipeline system non-operational.
The Company completed the repair and restoration activity at PS-2 and started slurry pumping in a phased manner from 25th November’10. The slurry pumping throughput reached its normal operating capacity on 9th December’10. Since then the Pelletization Complex starting from Beneficiation Plant at Kirandul to the Pellet Plant at Vizag are operating under normal operating conditions. The production levels have picked up again to planned levels in the last quarter.
The company has an Insurance Policy which covers Material Damage loss and Loss of Profit due to Business interruptions including Terrorism Cover. The company has filed an insurance claim of Rs.97.900 Millions for Material Damage loss and Rs.8810.000 Millions for loss of profit (for the indemnity period till 30th September 2010) with the New India Assurance Company. Pending settlement of the claim with the Insurance Company, the amount of the claims has not been recognized in the accounts.
Following were the achievement in major cost parameters and steps taken to achieve cost reduction:
• HBI finished with NG consumption of 290 sm 3 /t in FY 2010-11 against 297 sm 3 /t achieved in FY 2009-10.
• HSM ended with YTD yield of 98.2% for FY 2010-11 as against 97.84% previous year.
• Hot Metal usage started at Plant A to increase productivity and reduce power consumption.
• Consumption of various wastes/by products like Sludge Pond Fines, Mills Scale, flue dust, under size line stone etc. in sinter plant.
Sales and
Marketing
• The financial
year 2010-11 saw the global economy recover from the economic crisis which had
stymied growth in the previous year. The Indian economy recovered to register a
GDP growth of 8.5%.
• There had been loss of momentum in industrial growth and this had
affected the performance of the mining and manufacturing sectors.
• The successful
commissioning of the CSP facility enables Essar to produce hot-rolled coils up
to 0.8 mm thickness, which will find wide applications in the automotive
market. This will enable them to cater to a wider range of customer segments
and product applications.
• The year 2010-11
was an eventful one and some performance parameters need to be seen in the
right perspective. Overall sales of flat steel products improved marginally 3%
y-o-y to 3.34 million tones. Export volumes, at 0.55 million tonnes, increased
77% on account of the improved steel demand globally while domestic sales at
2.8 million tonnes dropped marginally by 4.6% y-o-y.
• Revenues were up
18% to Rs.12,827.59 Cr. and net sales realization per tonne increased 18% y-o-y
mainly on account of increase in price globally and more focus on value-added
sales.
• As much as 70%
of sales were made in the value-added segments and this was largely due to
continued emphasis on value-added products, like Electrical, Auto Hi-strength
grade, PEB, API, etc.
• Essar Hypermart
sales in 2010-11 grossed 0.8 million tonnes with revenues of Rs.30050.000
millions. It extended its footprint across the length and breadth of the
country by adding 23 more outlets from 87 to 110, while their market
penetration and reach was further strengthened by the expansion of the
Expressmarts network from 387 to 500.
• With the
addition of Bhuj Service Centre, their current steel processing and
distribution installed capacity in
• Essar Steel’s
focus on innovation was underlined by the following achievements:
o API
certification for plate and pipe products
o Essar Steel
became the first Indian steel producer to bag an order to supply steel for
Volkswagen’s passenger vehicles.
o Essar Steel
became the first Indian private steel producer to be approved by the Indian
Navy for steel supplies to Mazagaon dockyard for production of naval ships.
o
o Essar Steel
entered into an agreement with Kobe Steel,
o Caterpillar has
approved Essar Steel’s indigenously developed quenched and tempered (QT) steel
for its applications.
o Essar Steel
became the only Indian steel company to supply steel for the Tata ‘Nano’.
• One of the
strengths of Essar Steel is its unique, diversified global business model. This
means that they are ideally positioned to benefit when market demand fully
recovers. They strongly believe that the year 2011-12 will be an inflexion
point for Essar Steel and will catapult it to the next level.
FINANCE:
The amalgamation
of the Essar Steel Business in
During the
financial year, the Company successfully consolidated its Rupee Term Debt
facilities under a single loan agreement, thereby simplifying the
administration of debt by the Company and the lenders.
Similarly the
Company also initiated the process of consolidation and enhancement of its
working capital limits under single loan agreement with common terms and
conditions. In order to meet the increased business needs, the enhanced working
capital limits for FY 11-12 has been assessed by the lead bank, State Bank of
India (SBI).
During FY 11, post
amalgamation, the Company has been assigned a rating of ‘CARE A-’ for the long
term debt facilities and a rating of PR2+ for the short term debt facilities by
Credit Analysis and Research Limited (CARE); The rating of ‘CARE A-’ indicates
that the long term debt facilities offer adequate safety for timely servicing
of debt obligations and carry low credit risk. The rating of ‘CARE PR2+’
indicates that the short term debt facilities have adequate capacity for timely
payment of debt obligations.
During the year,
the Company was successful in progressing with its capital expenditure
programme, and meeting its payment obligations.
The company
witnessed several challenges during FY 11 viz. high inflation in the Indian
economy leading to frequent interest rate hikes, debt crisis in European
economies, steep increases in price of metallic inputs, non-operation of slurry
pipeline for major part of the year. With the re-start of the slurry pipeline
in Q3 of FY 11 and successful completion and commissioning of the various
on-going projects on a progressive basis, the Company is well positioned to
realise the benefits from the substantial capital investments made in the last
3 years by increasing its scale of operations and market presence.
CHANGE IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE
During the year
the paid up equity capital of the Company increased from Rs.11840.800 millions
to Rs.25710.000 millions due to allotment of shares made on preferential basis
to Essar Steel Limited, Mauritius, holding company of the Company in accordance
with approval granted by the members under Section 81 of the Companies Act,
1956 at the last annual general meeting.
AMALGAMATION
During the year, Essar Steel (Hazira)
Limited, Hazira Plate Limited, Hazira Pipe Mill Limited and Essar Steel Orissa
Limited have been amalgamated with the Company pursuant to the order passed by
the Hon’ble High Courts at Mumbai and Ahmedabad sanctioning the Scheme of
Amalgamation. The merger will provide a much wider product portfolio to customers
ranging from pellets to Slabs, HRC, CRC, Galvanised and Annealed Products,
Pipes and Plates and also leading to greater economies of scale and operational
synergies.
All the formalities with respect to
Amalgamation have been complied with.

Essar Steel wins global pipe orders worth Rs 4000.000 millions
Wednesday, August 29, 2012
Essar Steel today announced that it has received two sizeable orders from Middle East and Africa for manufacturing of API (American Petroleum Institute) grade steel pipes worth Rs 4000.000 millions. This takes the total order book of the pipe mill to approximately Rs 10000.000 millions indicating strong order inflow for the company.
The first order in Africa is for the construction of 4000 mt offshore line pipe application which will be used in a Chevron project. Customer from Middle East placed its second order with company for 45000 mt of 48 inch high grade coated pipes that are to be supplied in the coming quarter. This will facilitate the company in strengthening its position in the niche market segment worldwide.
Commenting on the recent order win, Mr. Dilip Oommen, MD and CEO, Essar Steel India said, “This is reflection of Essar Steel’s intergrated capability to produce world class pipes. To cater to the wide range of pipe products manufactured through various routes, our Pipe mill has full-fledged facilities for inspection and testing to ensure production of high quality pipes including sour service. Our aim is to become a preferred supplier of quality steel to all our customers, domestically and globally.”
Essar Steel’s pipe mill has the capability to manufacture 6,00,000 tonnes comprising 2,75,000mt per annum of API-grade HSAW (Helical Submerged Arc Welding) Line pipes, ranging from diameters 16” to 110”, thicknesses 6.4mm to 25.4mm in Grades through and up to X-80 and 3,25,000mt per annum of API-grade LSAW (Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welding) Line pipes, ranging from diameters 16” to 60”, thicknesses 6.4mm to 65mm in Grades through and up to X-80. The facility is an amalgamation of best-in-class technologies including tube mill, Welding technology, Inspection technology and is fully automated with the least manpower requirement with respect to the prevailing industry norms.
API grades of steel pipes require a fine grain structure for maximum impact resistance an important performance feature for line pipe applications, preventing any crack in the steel from propagating down the line. The company’s products has been accorded American Petroleum Institute (API) certification besides recent approvals from SHELL GLOBAL, ENI, SAIPEM, OCCIDENTAL-QATAR and ECOPETROL,PACIFIC RUBILAES in Columbia within the last ten months, paving its way to cement its position in the highly demanding oil and natural gas industry.
Banks see stress in Rs 230000.000 Millions Essar
loan
Monday, August 06, 2012
Ruia-controlled Essar Steel, which has debt of around Rs 230000.000 millions on its books, is 30 days behind in its interest payment schedule due to a "liquidity stress" within the company, bankers familiar with the development told moneycontrol.com. In banking parlance when a borrower stops paying interest on loans for 30 days, it is perceived to be under stress and bankers review the situation. The standard industry practice is that when the delay in payment exceeds 40 days, bankers and the borrowers start negotiations on whether the matter has to be referred to the Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) cell.
Of the 18-20 lenders which have loaned money to the privately-held Essar Steel, a leading state-owned bank is said to have the highest exposure of close to Rs 90000.000 millions.
"We are in talks with the management to sort of the issue. There are some liquidity issues hurting its business, but the situation is still not beyond redemption yet," said a senior banker at a PSU bank, adding that if the delay persisted, debt restructuring would have be considered.
A loan account can be referred to the CDR cell when at least 75% of the banks (by value) and 60% of lenders (by number) agree to resolve the case under CDR mechanism. Under the terms of CDR, either the interest rate is reduced or the tenure extended, so that the loan does not become a non-performing asset for the bank. Under Reserve Bank of India rules, a loan account becomes a non-performing asset after 90 days of continuous non-payments.
In response to moneycontrol.com's queries, Essar Steel said they had more than enough assets to back the loans, and expected cash flows from their newly set-up plants to pick up soon.
"We have invested around Rs 370000.000-38,0000.000 millions to create our current asset base, which includes facilities in Hazira, Odisha, and Visakhapatnam," said Amit Agarwal, CFO, Essar Steel.
"The replacement value of this asset base would be in excess of Rs 650000.000-700000.000 millions. Considering the debt level, we have a comfortable asset cover," said Amit Agarwal, CFO, Essar Steel.
And he says, the company has not violated any interest payment norm.
"Payments and such things (interest and principal) are based on certain norms. And we are always meeting all those norms. All are in line with banking industry norms," he said.
Will Essar Steel's loan be referred to the Corporate Debt Restructuring cell? The company denies things will come to that, and is in talks with the banks to resolve the issue.
"The company has a liquidity stress impacting their interest payments, but it could also be a short term issue," said a senior banker.
"The question is cash flow generation. Asset base can generate cash flow when it is sold at present value. In the current economic scenario, who will buy them at double the price?," the banker said.
Industry people say the liquidity problem could be due to group level problems.
Group company Essar Oil has been asked by the Supreme Court to pay back Rs 63000.000 millions to the Gujarat government as it was not eligible for the sale tax incentives it had claimed.
Also, the global steel industry is going through a rough patch because of worldwide economic slowdown. Locally, the problems have been caused by raw material shortages, particularly coal.
Last week, rating agency Standard & Poor's downgraded its rating on Arcelor Mittal to below junk grade, citing the weak steel environment as one of the key factors.
If Essar Steel is unable to resolve does knock the door of CDR cell due to drying up cash flows, it could well be a major shock for the banking industry after Air India (at around Rs 220000.000 millions) and Kingfisher airlines (nearly Rs 70000.000 millions).
Rating agency Crisil sees bad loans in the banking industry to rise to Rs.2000000.000 millions or 3.2% of the total loans by March, 2013. So far this financial year till July, around Rs 260000.000 millions of loans have been referred to the CDR.
Rating agency Care had assigned Essar Steel a rating of A-1 in January, 2012 for their secured and unsecured loans. It is currently in the process of reviewing the rating. The rank A-1 signifies a little above 'moderate' (BBB) but below 'adequate' (A) by standard. AAA is the 'best' while 'AA' is good
