Their main share is in automobile industry. There is a tough competition from companies with Blast Furnace route which has resulted in erosion of margin of profits.

 

Steel division has not performed well since steel input cost has gone up during the year and increased in input cost could not be passed on to customers in view of recession in steel market. Cost of production of pipe was high due to frequent breakdown in pressure which resulted into increase in maintenance cost and loss of production

 

The Company has developed new grades in steel division and also rejections in pipes have been reduced.

 

MANAGEMENT AND DISCUSSION ANALYSIS

 

Industry structure, scenario and development

 

India ranked as the fourth largest producer of crude steel in the world during January-November 2011 after China, Japan, and the USA. After a sharp increase in world consumption of finished steel in 2010 (15 per cent), the consumption is estimated to slow down to 6.5 per cent for 2011 and 5.4 per cent in 2012 as per World Steel Association estimates. The country has also been the largest sponge iron producer in the world since 2002. Domestic crude steel production grew at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4 per cent during 2006-7 to 2010-11.

 

The increase in production is driven by 8.8 per cent growth in crude steel capacity mainly in the private-sector plants and high utilization rates during this period. The Indian steel industry has diversified its product mix to include sophisticated value added steel used in the automotive sector, heavy machinery, and physical infrastructure. Despite the softening of industrial demand as reflected in a 4.4 per cent growth in real consumption of total finished steel during April–December, 2011 over the same period of last year, the overall April-December 2011 performance of the Indian steel industry is optimistic. In 2011, it was faced with stiff challenges posed by rising inflationary pressures at home and deteriorating global growth conditions. The multiple hikes in interest rates by the central bank also impacted the industry’s growth directly and indirectly through their effect on the growth of key user industries. Raw material security (e.g. getting iron ore mining lease),infrastructure (affecting logistics and transport), quality of coking coal, and uncertainties in land acquisition have emerged as bottlenecks to setting up new steel plants.

 

India’s steel consumption may grow by just 4.3% in 2011 to 67.7 million tonne (MT), premier industry body World Steel Association said “In 2011, India’s steel use is forecast to grow by 4.3% to reach 67.7 MT due to economic growth. In 2012, the growth rate is forecast to accelerate to 7.9%,” the association said in its outlook for 2011 and 2012.

 

Countries like Australia and Brazil are reaching out to strengthen the iron ore export industry, which is expected to boom for the next five years, whereas India, the third largest iron ore exporter, is under threat of severe damage to the iron ore exports, if practical and viable mining policies are not implemented immediately. With the blanket ban continuing in Karnataka, Steel industry in India is struggling to meet the production requirements, with severe shortage of raw material. If the ban extends for few more weeks, many units will face shut downs shortly. Indian steel makers are investing in iron ore exploration overseas, in countries like Afghanistan, with their domestic growth largely affected by regulatory issues. A strong mining regulation is a must to curb the illegal mining, but the mining should start in full swing in order to help the domestic steel and iron ore export industry.

 

The historical relationship between gross domestic product (GDP) and steel use growth in India indicates the latter has always been ahead, except during the slowdown in 2008-09. With its sluggish growth, steel consumption will once again lag behind the GDP growth rate.

 

The global steel market is threatened by excess capacity. Despite the demand growth seen in 2010-11, steelmaking capacity still exceeds steel demand. It cites the reduction of confidence in the marketplace in the latter half of 2011 resulting from the European sovereign debt crisis as being responsible for halting investments in large-scale European infrastructure projects. It adds that this is further complicated by the political expediency of protecting jobs, thereby stopping any rationalisation in the steel sector.

 

The steel sector seems to be the newest victim of slowing demand. Monetary tightening is reflecting in demand deceleration. India’s steel production appears to be getting affected by inflation and higher interest rates and their effect on demand.

 

Business Line reported that the foundry industry in India may find it tough to sustain the 15% growth rate because of dwindling iron ore resource. Iron ore for the foundry industry is mainly supplied from mining pits in Karnataka, Goa and Chhattisgarh. The ban on mining of iron ore in Karnataka and Goa has impacted the supply of high grade iron ore for pig iron. World Foundry Organization said that in addition to iron ore supply, the supply of uninterrupted power in all the major foundry clusters of West Bengal, Karnataka, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat, is poor. In Tamil Nadu, foundries are being forced to run just one shift per day. Besides, every year, the power tariff is going up significantly. The ban on mining of iron ore has impacted foundries which are basically small and medium units and are not in a position to secure supplies as it will significantly increase the cost of production.

 

The Indian economy is estimated to grow by 6.9 per cent in 2011-12, after having grown at the rate of 8.4 per cent in each of the two preceding years. With agriculture and services continuing to perform well, India’s slowdown can be attributed almost entirely to weakening industrial growth. Monetary policy was tightened by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) during the year to control inflation and curb inflationary expectations.

 

In a significant relief to the Indian Steel makers currently reeling under severe raw material shortages, India’s largest iron ore producer National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC) will step up production by at least 20% this fiscal on the back of fresh iron ore reserves that pushed total reserves up by around 50%. The iron ore shortages have of late forced several Indian steel makers scale down their operations. NMDC sells over 85% of iron ore produced to the domestic players.

Notes:

1. The above results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and thereafter were approved and taken on record by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on 30th May, 2013.

2. The figures for the last quarter are balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published figures year to date figures up to the third quarter of the financial year.

3. The Company is engaged in the business of steel and steel products such as Seamless Tubes and Rolled Products which in the opinion of the Management is considered the only business segment in the context of Accounting Standard 17 on "Segment Reporting"

4. Deferred tax asset is more than deferred tax liability as computed in accordance with the Accounting Standard AS 22, notified in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2006, The Company, as a matter of prudence has not recognised deferred tax asset.

5. Losses incurred in the financial year due to sharp slowdown in the industry, increased finance costs and volatility in foreign exchange movements have further eroded the net worth. The proposed modification in the scheme of rehabilitation which includes capital expenditure plans (majority funds lieu up with banks), infusion of capital, monetization of surplus assets and other mitigating factors is pending for approval before the BIFR. Together with rationalisation of operations, release and mobilisation of additional long term funds already done, the Company expects to achieve earnings recovery to recoup its recent operative losses and as such financial statements have been prepared on going concern basis.

Accordingly, the Company shall issue preference shares upto Rs.150.000 millions including share premium on preferential basis to strategic investor/co-promoter promoter of the Company to part finance rehabilitation project as mentioned in Modified Draft Rehabilitation Scheme pending for approval before BIFR. The Company has received share application money of Rs.150.000 millions.
