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.

OPERATIONS

 

The Company is setting up a 2.2 MTPA integrated steel and Ductile Iron (DI) Pipe project, at Siyaljori village, in Bokaro District, in the state of Jharkhand, which is about 22 kms from Bokaro city, a well developed industrial town of Jharkhand.

 

During the project implementation process, some modifications were suggested by the technical experts to meet the technical superiority and efficiency improvement of the plant. Hence, for better balancing of the product with optimized product mix and better value addition, the Company is contemplating to enhance the plant capacity from 2.2 MTPA to 2.51 MTPA. The enhanced capacity of the plant is based on Blast Furnace (BF) - Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) - Billet Caster and Hot Rolling Route.

 

One of the Blast Furnaces (350 M3) out of the three, has commenced operation of pig iron in September, 2010. The Company has taken shut down of the above Blast Furnace for synchronization with other facilities and the same was restarted subsequently. Currently, the said furnace is giving sales to the Company. The Company has also started production of Ductile Iron Pipes from its plant.

 

The Company's plant is at its advance stage of completion and its operations are currently in a nascent stage. Due to a variety of technical reasons, the plant has undergone improvements and changes, which will in turn benefit the operations of the Company in the long run.

 

The target completion date of the balance facilities have been extended by few months. The main reason for the delay was due to sudden decrease in availability of Chinese manpower, due to guidelines issued by the Central Government of India on Visa Policy restricting the Chinese manpower with work visa. This was beyond the control of Company's management. However, the Company made significant efforts to mitigate the effect of this Force Majeure situation with the following alternative plans;

 

·         Appointment of local Sub-contractors under the supervision of Chinese Contractors.

 

·         Reducing the scope of Chinese Contractors and offloading the same to Indian Contractors.

 

Subsequently, the Central Government of India has allowed work permits to a specified number of Chinese manpower, since then the work at the site is going on smoothly. The Company is confident in achieving the revised completion target in the current financial year.

 

The project cost for the earlier 2.2 MTPA plant was Rs.72620.000 Millions and the revised project cost for the 2.51 MTPA plant is estimated at Rs.95620.000 Millions. The revised cost of the project has been verified by Lenders Independent Engineer and vetted by Mecon Limited. The estimated additional capital expenditure required for capacity enhancement would be around Rs.12360.000 Millions and for infrastructural/other facilities and efficiency improvement Rs.10640.000 Millions. The above additional cost of Rs.12360.000 Millions is proposed to be funded in the debt to equity ratio of 2:1. Out of the above debt requirement of Rs.8240.000 Millions, their Lead Banker, State Bank of India has sanctioned Rs.2500.000 Millions with a provision of interim disbursement of 40% of the sanctioned amount. Proposal with other banks is at an advance stage and they are hopeful to complete the same very soon.

 

The Company had also proposed to raise Rupee Term Loan of around Rs.22000.000 Millions by securitizing the future receivables from the sale of DI pipe and Pig iron with various banks. For securitisation of the above, the Company has entered into an Off-take agreement with Stemcor India Private Limited and Electrosteel Castings Limited for off-taking DI Pipes and Pig Iron for a period of 12 years. Out of the above requirement, State Bank of India has sanctioned Rs.6000.000 Millions and also disbursed 40% of the sanctioned amount as interim disbursement pending full tie-up. The proposal with other banks is at an advance stage and they are hopeful to complete it very soon. A part of the proceeds from the securitization of future receivables will be utilised in meeting expenditure towards other capital expenditures/implementing systems, ensuring efficiency improvement and redundancies improvement in Feeder sections like Sinter Plant, Pellet Plant, Coke Oven, Control Systems, Material Handling and other allied facilities

 

OVERVIEW

 

The Company is promoted by Electrosteel Castings Limited (ECL) to setup a 2.2 MTPA Integrated Steel and Ductile Iron (DI) Pipes project in the district of Bokaro, Jharkhand. Pursuant to group's strategy of focusing on identification of opportunities for backward integration, new DI pipe capacity as well as investment in the steel sector, ECL has been allotted mining blocks of iron ore and coking coal in the state of Jharkhand and has promoted this Company for implementing the integrated steel and DI pipe plant.

 

ECL, the Promoter of the Company, is a premier manufacturer of Cast Iron pipes for over four decades and DI Pipes since last 16 years. For the fiscal year 2010-11, ECL recorded consolidated net sales of Rs.18725.597 Millions. ECL has four manufacturing facilities, two located at Khardah and Haldia, both in the State of West Bengal, one at Elavur in the State of Tamil Nadu and one Coal washery plant at Parbatpur in the State of Jharkhand.

 

During the project implementation process, some modifications were suggested by the technical experts to meet the technical superiority and efficiency improvement of the plant. Hence, for better balancing of the product with optimized product mix and better value addition, the Company is contemplating to enhance the plant capacity from 2.2 MTPA to 2.51 MTPA. The enhanced capacity of the plant is based on Blast Furnace (BF) - Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) - Billet Caster and Hot Rolling Route.

 

The enhanced capacity of the plant will produce 1.45 MTPA of long steel products, comprising 0.60 MTPA wire rods and 0.85 MTPA of reinforcement bars in straight lengths, bundles and plain rounds. The plant will have a 0.33 MTPA DI pipe production facility in the same complex and will be provided with hot metal from the Blast Furnaces. The plant will also have production facilities for 0.33 MTPA of Commercial Billets and 0.40 MTPA of Pig Iron.

 

The Company will be manufacturing basically the long steels which will be used as construction steel along with intermediary products like commercial billets and pig iron. The Company will also produce DI Pipes.

 

The Company has acquired approximately 2,187.82 acres of land for the proposed plant, taking into account the scope for future expansion.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE

 

The Indian steel industry is broadly classified into two groups: Primary steel producers and Secondary steel producers.

 

Primary steel producers has backward integration and normally has a higher capacity over 1.0 MTPA. The manufacturing process starts with steel making from Iron ore. The investment needed is also much higher as compared to secondary producers.

 

Secondary producers essentially have mini steel plants with capacities below 1.0 MTPA. This category mainly employs Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) or Induction Furnace (IF) route, which use scrap and sponge iron or a mix of both as raw materials to produce steel. This group also consists of processors and re-rollers of steel products. Secondary producers primarily manufacture long products and the route adopted by them is highly energy intensive for which they have to depend upon the purchased power.

 

Although, there are over 3,500 varieties of regular and special steel available, steel products can be broadly classified into two basic types according to their shape viz. flats and longs. All finished steel products are made from semi­finished steel that comes in the form of slabs, billets and blooms.

 

GLOBAL STEEL INDUSTRY

 

Based on World Steel Association data, the world's crude steel production has reached a level of 1527 MTPA in the CY 2011. The crude steel production in India has reached 72.2 MTPA . The steel production has increased by 6.8 % as compared to the CY 2010. This was the 2nd consecutive year where the growth was positive after negative growth in 2009. China has maintained its leadership position with the production of 695.5 MTPA followed by Japan with 107.6 MTPA. India's steel production has registered a growth of 5.7% in CY 2011 as compared to previous CY while china has shown growth of 8.9 %. Asian countries have a lion's share of 64% of total world's steel production. This is also visible from the economic growth of these countries as compared to western countries.

 

India's steel industry is likely to grow at similar rate in the next few years. The steel production is increasing in line with the projection made in Annual Budget and the infrastructure investments planned by the government. Sectors like Roads, Highways, Airports, Power Generation, Power distribution etc are expected to have a robust growth.. The targeted steel production in India by 2019-2020 is over 100 MTPA. The steel production in India is likely to grow at a CAGR of 7-8% per annum as indicated by the government and external research.

 

INDIAN STEEL INDUSTRY

 

India has moved to 4th position among the top steel producing nations in the world. Considering the substantial increase in outlay for construction sector, the demand for steel is going to be strong. Per capita consumption of steel in India is low at 56.3 kg as compared to 445 Kg for China and world average of 220.8 kg. As India is on a growth path, steel which is the basic ingredient will be needed for achieving the desired growth in GDP.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCES

 

Since the project is under implementation and only one Blast Furnace (i.e a part of the entire facility) had commenced its operation and started to produce pig iron and D.I Pipes. The Company had only recorded the net turnover of Rs.577.881 Millions in the year ended 2012. After the adjustment of other expenditures, the earnings before Interest, depreciation, taxation and amortization is Rs.(456.084) Millions. The Profit after Tax for the year 2012 is Rs.(1498.170) Millions.
