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.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

 

The world Gross Domestic Product (GDP), as reported by the International Monetary Fund, witnessed a moderate growth of 3.2% in 2012 as compared to a growth of 4.0% in 2011. While the growth in the advanced economies was 1.2% in 2012 in contrast to 1.6% in 2011, growth in the emerging and developing economies fell to 5.1% in 2012 compared to 6.4% in 2011. There was a noticeable slowdown in the emerging market and developing economies during 2012, a reflection of the sharp deceleration in demand from key advanced economies. Global prospects have improved but the road to recovery in the advanced economies is still uncertain and volatile.

 

The US GDP increased by 2.2% in 2012 reflecting significant legacy effects from the financial crisis, continued fiscal consolidation, a weak external environment and disruptions in the northeast following Superstorm Sandy. The recovery is beginning to show some bright spots as credit growth has picked up and bank lending conditions have been easing slowly from tight levels. However, the impact of recent recovery is yet to show material impact on the economy. In comparison to the US, the euro zone economy contracted by 0.6% in 2012 over 2011. Amongst the euro zone countries, Germany posted a marginal growth of 0.9% while Italy and Spain posted a decrease of 2.4% and 1.4% respectively. Decisive policy actions at the European level–including Outright Monetary Transactions, the completion of the European Stability Mechanism, the Greek debt relief programme and the agreement on the Single Supervisory Mechanism–have increased confidence in the viability of the Economic and Monetary Union. However, lower sovereign spreads and improved bank liquidity are yet to translate into either improved private sector borrowing conditions or stronger economic activity. Emerging economies of eastern Europe experienced a sharp growth slowdown in 2012 reflecting spillover effect from the euro area crisis and domestic policy tightening in the larger economies. For 2012 as a whole, EU apparent steel consumption is estimated to have decreased by -9.7% to 140 million tonnes, with lower demand due to poor economic situation in the euro zone and reduced global trade. Output in the main EU27 steel using sectors declined in 2012 (Construction -5%, Automotive -4%, Mechanical Engineering -1%).

 

The GDP of Association of South East Asian Nation (ASEAN) (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam) grew at 6.1% reflecting resilient domestic demand. Thailand economy grew at 6.4% while that of Indonesia grew by 6.2% in 2012. It is estimated that the public spending by the Government especially in infrastructure and public reconstruction will sustain the growth in Thailand in the future. It is expected that continued remittance flows and low interest rates should continue to support the private consumption and investments in the region.

 

Steel consumption in the ASEAN region (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam) have surged by 7.6% year on year to 56.4 million tonnes in 2012. Thailand registered the highest growth rate of 13.9% year on year followed by Vietnam at 9.9%, and Indonesia at 8.8%. Malaysia and Philippines both registered marginal increases in steel demand of 1.7% and 2.2%, respectively, while steel demand in Singapore declined marginally during the year.

 

The domestic economy in India witnessed a significant slowdown during the year with certain sectors like automotive, capital goods showing a marked slowdown in demand. The moderation in the industrial growth particularly in the manufacturing sector is largely attributed to sluggish growth in investments and tighter monetary policy. Growth in services was 6.6% as compared to a growth of 8.2% in 2011-12. Amongst the key macro-economic indicators, the current account deficit is currently at a very high level which would put significant pressure on the economy especially on the currency.

 

In India the flat steel consumption grew by 4.3% in the fiscal, while long steel consumption grew by 4.7%. Amongst the main steel consuming sectors, the construction sector grew at around 5.9% and the consumer durables sector grew by 4.5% while the capital goods is expected to have declined significantly by around 10.1% and the automotive sector grew by 1.2%.

 

 

TATA STEEL GROUP PERFORMANCE:

 

In the backdrop of a weak global economy and a challenging market situation, the gross deliveries of the Tata Steel Group at 24.1 million tonnes in 2012-13 were almost at the similar levels as the previous year of 24.2 million tonnes. The turnover of the Tata Steel India operations increased by 13% primarily due to enhanced volume from the newly commissioned facilities of the 2.9 million tonnes per annum capacity expansion in Jamshedpur and enhanced product mix in the Long Products segment. However, there was a decrease in the turnover in Tata Steel Europe by 15% (in its reporting currency) primarily due to weaker market conditions and lower operating volume in Europe.

 

The consolidated profit before finance costs, depreciation, exceptional items and taxes of the Group was Rs.128000.000 Millions in the Financial Year 2012-13 lower by 9% over the previous year primarily due to lower operating performance in Europe, relatively weaker steel prices across all geographies. Consequently, the consolidated Profit before exceptional items and taxes were Rs.32570.000 Millions in the Financial Year 2012-13 compared to Rs.52230.000 Millions in the previous year.

 

 

INDIAN OPERATIONS:

 

The Financial Year 2012-13 marked a major milestone in operating history of Tata Steel as the capacity expansion at Jamshedpur was completed with most of the facilities of 2.9 mtpa brownfield expansion being commissioned for production. The expansion project includes the commissioning of the 6 mtpa Pellet Plant, a 3.05 mtpa Blast Furnace (I Furnace), a new LD Shop (LD#3) and the 2.54 mtpa Thin Slab Caster and Rolling (TSCR), and two new Lime Kilns (Nos. 8 and 9) (600 tpd each). The other capital projects commissioned during the Financial Year 2012-13 were the augmentation of Noamundi and Joda Iron Ore Mines and setting up of one 0.7 mtpa Coke Ovens Battery (No.10) along with the By-Product Plant.

 

In order to prepare for marketing the additional volume of production from the new expansion, the Company has been working on significant initiatives on the marketing front which included (a) the launch of the Astrum brand (HR coils) to serve the large SME market, (b) acquisition and expansion of large commercial accounts in tubing, cold rolling, packaging and LPG segments, (c) developing international markets for the products and (d) initiating new product development process for securing customer approvals in the automotive segment.

 

The Company completed the Financial Year 2012-13 with an overall increase of approximately 14% in production and sales volumes. The production of Hot Metal (8.86 million tonnes), Crude Steel (8.13 million tonnes) and Saleable Steel (7.94 million tonnes) reached their respective highest levels till date. Correspondingly, the deliveries recorded new highs at 7.48 million tonnes for the year.

 

There were also several best performances recorded by many of the other operating units of the Company during the Financial Year 2012-13 some of which are as follows:

 

a)       The Ferro Alloys and Mineral Division (FAMD) achieved the highest ever Ferrochrome production (218k tonnes) and sales (223k tonnes). FAMD launched “Tata Silcomag”, India's first branded Ferro Alloy for the SME segment.

 

b)       Global Wires achieved its highest ever total wires production of 315,000 tonnes.

 

c)       The Tubes Division production at 391,000 tonnes and sales at 387,000 tonnes in the Financial Year 2012-13 was the highest ever. The Division developed new products like Red Oxide Pipes, Thin Organic Coated galvanised tubes and GP tubes for retail segment. Tata Pipes also won the Zee Business 'Good Home Award' 2012 in pipes category.

 

d)       The Bearings Division commissioned a new line of Bearings – 'HUB Bearings', specifically used in passenger vehicles. The Division also inaugurated a state of art ‘testing and validation centre’ based on latest technology to meet the increasing expectations of the automotive customers. The Bearings Division production was 33.73 million numbers and sales was 32.03 million numbers in the Financial Year 2012-13. The Bearings Division won the ‘Economic Times – Frost and Sullivan – IMEA’ Gold Award excellence in manufacturing and supply chain, and the Bajaj Gold Consistency Award for QCD, second year in a row in the Financial Year 2012-13.

 

e)       The Agrico Division has launched two new products ‘Seed Drill’ and ‘Cultivator’ under the Grasshopper sub brand, and has achieved its best ever sales of Rs.1620.000 Millions (a growth of ~5%) in the Financial Year 2012-13.

 

The Company achieved a savings of approximately Rs.16250.000 Millions by improving operational excellence through focused initiatives in the Financial Year 2012-13. The special improvement initiative ‘KVHS’ (Kar Vijay Har Shikhar – Conquer Every Peak) launched during the Financial Year 2011-12, contributed approximately Rs. 10570.000 Millions in the Financial Year 2012-13. This initiative is focused on Tata Steel’s aspiration to improve its earnings through generation of new ideas and deploying the same through a structured framework. It is a multi-unit, multi-location and a cross functional improvement programme that aims to excel across the entire value chain – from the raw materials mining to the operating units across all divisions.

 

Inspite of very challenging market conditions and weak steel prices in India, the Company sold an additional 850,000 tonnes during the Financial Year 2012-13. During the fourth quarter of the financial year, the Company sold around 2.2 million tones of steel that is the highest quarterly volume in the history of the Company. This was possible due to the successful ramp up of the new facilities in Jamshedpur and the marketing initiatives taken by the Company to gear up to sell the additional volume of the expanded capacity. The profit before finance costs, depreciation, exceptional items and taxes for the stand alone Tata Steel was Rs.12,028 Millions for the Financial Year 2012-13 which was marginally lower by about 3% compared to the previous financial year.

 

 

EUROPEAN OPERATIONS:

 

Tata Steel Europe’s (TSE) turnover for the Financial Year 2012-13 was 15% lower than the previous year. This was due to lower deliveries by about 7% compared to the previous year and a 8% lower average revenue per tonne caused by the deterioration in the market conditions and volatile currency exchange rates in the Financial Year 2012-13. The deliveries in Financial Year 2012-13 were impacted by the lower volume of production due to the rebuilding of Blast Furnace 4 (Port Talbot, United Kingdom), and hearth issues at Blast Furnace 7 in IJmuiden (Netherlands). The blast furnace #4 rebuild, was completed and the furnace was relighted in February 2013. The company continued to press forward with its structured improvement programme OGSM (Objectives Goals Strategies and Measurement) and posted significant gains from the success of this programme. The above improvement programme along with the other short-term management interventions could offset some of the adverse impact of the external market deterioration.

 

In order to enhance customer service levels, TSE is implementing a major ‘supply chain transformation’ project aimed at allocating customer demand in the most efficient and timely manner (thereby reducing inventory levels, reducing costs to serve, and improving delivery and availability standards), whilst at the same time improving customer service levels. The company has also been accelerating its new product development programme as 17 new products were introduced in the market.

 

 

SOUTH-EAST ASIAN OPERATIONS:

 

NatSteel achieved its best ever performances in Singapore and China driven by capacity expansion in China. NatSteel’s Singapore downstream domestic sales achieved a new high of 500,000 tonnes, a 19% increase over the Financial Year 2011-12. This makes it one of the largest reinforcement solutions business in the world with an enhanced product mix of 66% value added products. Other operating entities like NatSteel Vina in Vietnam and China also showed improved performance compared to the previous year. NatSteel’s operations in Australia have also undergone a major transformation, with the restructuring of its Queensland operations in Australia.

 

Tata Steel Thailand (TSTH) production in the Financial Year 2012-13 at 1.167 million tonnes was at par with the previous financial year though it recorded an increase in the finished goods sales by 3% during the year. The enhanced growth in construction sector in Thailand helped in the increase of rebars sales though the wire rods product line was adversely affected by the cheaper imports from China. TSTH further strengthened its leadership position in rebars by increasing its market share from 25% to 29% and also established a stronger foothold of its brand Tata Tiscon in the regional markets of Thailand. The year also saw the launch of Seismic rebars, an earthquake resistant rebar for the first time in Thailand.

 

 

EXPANSION PROJECTS:

 

BROWNFIELD PROJECTS:

 

JAMSHEDPUR EXPANSION PROJECT (2.9 MILLION TONNES)

 

Tata Steel India has completed implementation of the 2.9 mtpa expansion project at Jamshedpur Works to increase its crude steel capacity from 6.8 mtpa to 9.7 mtpa. The expansion project also entailed augmentation of Noamundi and Joda Iron Ore Mines and related facilities along with a By-Product Plant. Besides the main production units, the expansion project also included setting up the required support systems such as power, water, utilities, raw material handling and plant logistics. All the production facilities have been commissioned in phases. The facilities are currently in various stages of ramp up.

 

 

CONTINUOUS ANNEALING AND PROCESSING LINE

 

Jamshedpur Continuous Annealing and Processing Company Private Limited (JCAPCPL), a joint venture company between Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal Corporation (NSSMC) and Tata Steel was formed in early 2012 for producing high end cold rolled coils and sheets for the Indian automotive market. It is currently undertaking the construction of a 0.6 mtpa Continuous Annealing and Processing Line (CAPL). The construction of the CAPL and all other related facilities is progressing as per schedule.

 

 

GREENFIELD PROJECT

 

The greenfield project execution in Odisha to produce flat steel products with an ultimate capacity of 6 mtpa in two phases has made significant progress on all fronts during the year. Major orders for all zones of the phase 1 of the project have been placed and construction work is in full swing.

 

The new facility coming up at Kalinganagar will augment Tata Steel’s product range to meet the changing customer needs in segments that the Company serves currently. These include Automotive, Packaging, Tubing, Construction, Appliances and Railways.

 

The Kalinganagar facility will also enable Tata Steel to enter and have a significant presence in segments such as Oil and Gas, Lifting and Excavation, Infrastructure, Defence, Shipbuilding, Energy, Power, etc. This will help Tata Steel to improve its market share in the domestic market in the future. The first phase is expected to be completed by 2015.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE

 

GLOBAL STEEL INDUSTRY:

 

While global industrial production in 2012 dropped to its lowest level since 2009, global steel production reached a record high of 1.55 billion tonnes, up by 1.2% as compared to 2011. The growth came mainly from Asia and North America while production in the European Union and South America decreased in 2012 compared to 2011. Global steelmakers continued to witness supply growth outpacing demand, with capacity utilisation rates remaining consistently below 80%. Subdued steel prices and a slowdown in demand growth from China continued to weigh on the global steel sector in the past year.

 

Annual production for Asia was 1.01 billion tonnes of crude steel in 2012, an increase of 2.6% as compared to 2011. China’s crude steel production in 2012 reached 716.5 million tonnes, an increase of 3.1% on 2011, resulting in a hike in the country’s share of world crude steel production from 45.4% in 2011 to 46.3% in 2012. The EU meanwhile recorded a decrease of 4.7% compared to 2011, producing 169.4 million tones of crude steel in 2012. Among specific countries, Germany produced 42.7 million tonnes of crude steel, a decrease of 3.7% on 2011. Italy produced 27.2 million tonnes, a 5.2% decrease over 2011. France’s crude steel production in 2012 was 15.6 million tonnes, a decrease of 1.1%. Spain produced 13.6 million tonnes of crude steel in 2012, a 12.1% decrease on 2011. In 2012, crude steel production in North America was 121.9 million tonnes, an increase of 2.5% on 2011 while that for South America was 46.9 million tonnes, a decrease of 3.0% on 2011. The US produced 88.6 million tonnes of crude steel, 2.5% higher than 2011.

 

The past year proved to be a challenge for the steel industry with apparent steel usage increasing at the slowest rate since 2009. The euro zone crisis persisted throughout 2012 and macro-economic pressures in major economies contributed significantly to the global slowdown. Lower industrial production and reduced investment in large scale infrastructure projects resulted in a marked decrease in the growth of steel demand from both the developed and emerging markets. Apparent global steel usage in 2012 had grown by only 1.2%. A modest pick-up in global steel demand is expected in 2013. Global apparent steel usage is forecasted to increase by 2.9% to 1.45 billion tonnes in 2013, following the slower-than-expected growth in 2012. Demand is likely to improve faster in emerging markets. Apparent steel use in China, the largest steel producer and consumer, is expected to grow by 3.5% in 2013 to 668.8 million tonnes following a 1.9% increase in 2012. There are trends of demand recovery in the property sector and the demand for infrastructure has also been strong since June, 2012. However, underlying demand in the EU is not expected to improve much in 2013 despite moderate restocking seen in the beginning of the year. Overall, steel demand is expected to remain weak due to the continuing economic crisis in the developed countries and the structural shift in the Chinese economy.

 

 

STEEL INDUSTRY IN INDIA:

 

During 2012, India maintained its ranking as the 4th largest steel producing country in the world behind China, Japan and the US with a crude steel production of 76.7 million tonnes representing a 4.3% growth over 2011.

 

The Indian steel industry continued to showcase trends of higher consumption of finished steel and continued to be a net importer on account of increased demand for special grades of steel in the country.

 

As GDP growth weakened more than expected in 2012 on account of stalled investment against the backdrop of tightening policies, widening trade and fiscal deficit, high inflation and weak FDI inflows, the Financial Year 2012-13 was a year of subdued activity for steel using sectors in particular the auto segment; it is expected that 2013 will continue to remain a challenging year for the automotive sector as high interest rates and fuel expenses will continue to act as a drag on demand. However, the construction sector remained relatively resilient in 2012 and is expected to remain stable.

 

Steel demand has remained sluggish so far in 2013 amidst weak activity and poor sentiment; however, activity is expected to accelerate modestly in the coming months. Steel demand is expected to grow by 5.9% to 75.8 million tonnes in 2013 following 2.5% growth in 2012 as monetary easing is expected to support investment activities. Strengthening domestic consumption and improving external conditions will also help underpin the growth of steel using sectors.

 

 

UK AND EUROPEAN STEEL INDUSTRY:

 

With the debt crisis having weighed heavily on economic activity, especially during the last quarter of 2012 due to continued uncertainty, apparent steel use in EU 27 during 2012 fell by 9.3% with a widening gap seen at the country level. Economic growth remained uneven among major European countries, and steel demand continued to be depressed. Most of the countries in the EU witnessed contraction in steel usage during 2012. It was not only the debt-ridden countries such as Spain and Italy that experienced a decline in apparent steel consumption, but also resilient economies such as Germany that also faced demand pressure. In particular, in Italy and Spain, the apparent steel use contracted by over 18% in 2012. Slow domestic demand in the EU was characterised by a further drop in business sentiment and intensifying financing restraints resulting in a further decline in activity in the steel using sectors with automotive and construction showing the worst trend. Export demand had also come under pressure due to the slowdown in global economic growth. The outlook for 2013 remains bleak. Steel demand in EU 27 is expected to contract further by 0.5% in 2013, but is forecasted to return to a growth of 3.3% in 2014 to reach 144.1 million tonnes. Total activity in the steel using sectors is expected to register a decline in 2013 due to the continuation of difficult operating conditions across most sectors. Domestic demand is expected to remain sluggish due to austerity, weak confidence and difficult access to finance. However, stimulus packages in major global economies, measures from the European Central Bank to contain the debt crisis and signs of stabilization in the overall economic situation are expected to improve steel outlook by late 2013 but the sentiment of uncertainty continues to dominate the market.

 

 

SOUTH EAST ASIAN STEEL INDUSTRY:

 

The South East Asian region continues to show signs of economic resilience, backed by strong domestic demand. All the ASEAN member countries of SEAISI (South East Asian Iron and Steel Institute), with the exception of Singapore, registered growth rates of more than 5% in 2012. Philippines headed the pack with a strong growth rate of 6.6%, followed by Thailand (6.4%), Indonesia (6.2%), Malaysia (5.6%) and Vietnam (5.1%). Singapore, the most advanced country in the region, recorded a slow growth rate of 1.3% in 2012.

 

Thailand’s economy had rebounded strongly from 0.1% in 2011 to register a growth rate of 6.4% last year. As a result of the strong economic recovery in the country, Thailand’s apparent steel consumption also surged significantly in 2012, rising by 13.9% year on year (y-o-y), the highest in the region followed by Vietnam at 9.9% and Indonesia at 8.8%. Malaysia and Philippines both registered marginal increases in steel demand of 1.7% and 2.2% respectively while steel demand in Singapore declined by 4.9% y-o-y. Thailand’s total steel consumption rose from 14.5 million tonnes in 2011 to 16.6 million tonnes in 2012, driven mainly by robust demand in the construction, automotive and appliance sectors. The country continued to remain one of the top 10 steel importing countries in the world having imported a total of 15 million tonnes of steel products in 2012 while exports stagnated at 1.2 million tonnes. Import of flat products was in excess of 8.8 million tonnes.

 

Production in the region is estimated to have declined slightly, by 2% y-o-y to 25.5 million tonnes in 2012 as a result of a decline in steel output in most of the countries in the region, except Philippines. Imports surged significantly, by 8% y-o-y to 36.9 million tonnes in 2012 while exports from the region are estimated to have declined by 22% y-o-y to 6 million tonnes in 2012. All countries in the region except Singapore registered a decline in the volume of exports.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Global economy continues on the recovery path although the macro-economic risks have remained. The major risks of euro area breakup and sharp fiscal consolidation in the US were averted with timely political intervention. While the unemployment still remains high in the US, growth is expected to continue on the back of stronger private demand and low policy rates. Forecasts for the euro area continue to remain depressing with weakening core countries apart from the already weak peripheries. Japan is expected to move on the growth path with strong monetary easing and fiscal stimulus. China is expected to have moderation in their growth as it continues to rebalance the economy in the near future. According to the forecasts of the International Monetary Fund, the World GDP is expected to grow by 3.3% in 2013 with advanced economies growing by 1.2% and the emerging and developing economies growing by a much faster rate of 5.3%; while the euro area continues to contract mildly by 0.3%.

 

Steel prices bottomed out around October 2012 and increased across regions until about February 2013 when overcapacity issues and weaker demand prospects dampened the sentiment. Indian domestic steel prices, however, did not improve due to slowing demand and gradually increasing production. Prices of iron ore in the seaborne market have stabilised in the recent months while there has been a downward trend for the coking coal prices. With the reopening of more iron ore mines in Karnataka, domestic supply of iron ore is expected to increase gradually and prices are expected to fall in the domestic market.

 

Steel demand growth globally is expected to continue due to growth in the emerging and developing economies. As per the forecasts from World Steel Association (WSA), worldwide apparent steel demand is expected to grow by 2.9% to 1,454 mt in 2013 and by 3.2% in 2014 to 1,500 mt (following the 1.2% growth in 2012). Steel demand in China is expected to grow by 3.5% and by 2.5% in 2013 and 2014 respectively as the country tries to rebalance the growth model and gradually focuses on the service sectors. Growth in the NAFTA region is expected to be slow following the strong growth in 2012, mainly due to fiscal consolidation measures in the US. Continuing worries concerning the euro zone may reduce the steel demand by 0.5% in 2013 before growth resumes in the next year. India’s steel demand growth is projected at 5.9% and 7.0% in 2013 and 2014 respectively with expected support from the reform measures and narrowing of fiscal deficits.

 

 

FINANCE

 

In the context of the difficult macro-economic environment, the Company adopted a financing strategy for the year focused on two key components – (a) maintenance of a liquidity buffer for continued global operations (the total liquidity headroom of the company was Rs.166440.000 Millions as of 31st March, 2013, comprising cash and cash equivalents and undrawn lines) and (b) sustenance of leverage pressures on account of increasing volumes and capital expenditure requirements in India. With this objective, a new unsecured rupee term loan facility of Rs.20000.000 Millions tied up in March 2012 was utilised through the year while two short term commercial papers for Rs.9750.000 Millions each were issued and repaid post September 2012. The Company also issued two series of debentures – (a) non-convertible debentures worth Rs.15000.000 Millions carrying a coupon of 2% with redemption premium for a tenor of 10 years on a private placement basis in April 2012 and (b) non-convertible unsecured debentures worth Rs.10000.000 Millions carrying a coupon of 9.15% repayable in equal instalments in January 2019 and January 2021. The Company set up a buyers credit facility of Yen 1,198 mn (approx. US$15 mn) with Japan Bank for International Co-operation and The Bank of Tokyo- Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd., in September 2012. Further, the Company has also raised Rs.13000.000 Millions (SGD 300 million) in April 2013 through 4.95% senior unsecured notes due in 2023 through  its wholly owned subsidiary in Singapore, Abja Investments Pte Limited. The bonds are listed on the Singapore stock exchange. The Company plans to utilise these amounts towards funding its capital expenditure requirements.

 

The financing initiatives of the Company have been closely linked as enablers of various operational and business requirements. This has been endorsed by multiple independent ratings agencies as reflected in their existing ratings of the Company being maintained for the year despite the declining external environment. In August 2012, Fitch reaffirmed Tata Steel Limited’s rating at BB+ while changing its outlook from “Stable” to “Negative”. The Domestic Rating of Tata Steel Limited and the loans availed from banks has been reaffirmed at AA. Short term facilities have also been reaffirmed at A+. Further, Moody’s Investors Service reaffirmed Tata Steel Limited’s Corporate Family Rating at Ba3 while changing its outlook from “Stable” to “Negative” while S and P revised Tata Steel Outlook to Negative from Stable and re-affirmed ‘BB’ Rating. The decline in the near term outlook across the agencies are due to a challenging external environment for the global steel industry. However, the Company remains geared to meet these challenges through an increased emphasis on deleveraging the balance sheet, reconfiguring capital expenditure requirements and adopting a flexible financing strategy. The full benefit of the 3 mtpa expansion in Jamshedpur is also expected to accrue in the future which will further strengthen the performance of the Company.

Notes:

 

1. The results have been reviewed by the Audit Committee in its meeting held on August 12, 2013 and were approved by the Board of Directors in its meeting of date.

 

2. The actuarial gains and losses on funds for employee benefits (pension plans) of Tata Steel Europe Limited for the period from April 1, 2008 have been accounted in “Reserves and Surplus” in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS/IND AS principles and as permitted by Accounting Standard 21. Had the Company recognised changes in actuarial valuations of pension plans of Tata Steel Europe in the statement of profit and loss, the consolidated profit after taxes, minority interest and share of profit of associates for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 would have been higher by Rs.8549.900 Millions and the consolidated profit after taxes, minority interest and share of profit of associates for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 would have been lower by Rs.14396.900 Millions.

 

3. The Committee of Directors in their meeting held on April 10, 2013 approved the scheme of amalgamation of the following subsidiaries with the Company:

(a) Kalimati Investment Company Limited with an appointed date of January 1, 2013. The Scheme is subject to the approval of the High Court of Judicature at Bombay.

(b) The Company has given guarantees aggregating Rs.5799.100 Millions (31.03.2012: Rs.3915.800 Millions) on behalf of others. As at 31st March, 2013, the contingent liabilities under these guarantees amounts to Rs.5799.100 Millions (31.03.2012: Rs.3915.800 Millions).

 

(c) Claim by a party arising out of conversion arrangement - Rs.1958.200 Millions (31.03.2012: Rs.1958.200 Millions). The Company has not acknowledged this claim and has instead filed a claim of Rs.1396.500 Millions (31.03.2012: Rs.1396.500 Millions) on the party. The matter is pending before the Calcutta High Court.

 

(d) The Excise Department has raised a demand of Rs.2354.800 Millions (31.03.2012: Rs.2354.800 Millions) denying the benefit of Notification No. 13/2000 which provides for exemption to the integrated steel plant from payment of excise duty on the freight amount incurred for transporting material from plant to stock yard and consignment agents. The Company filed an appeal with CESTAT, Kolkata and the order of the department was set aside. The department has filed an appeal in Supreme Court where the matter is pending.

 

(e) TMT bars and rods in coil form were sent to an external processing agent (EPA), on payment of duty at Jamshedpur (exworks) price, for decoiling and cutting into specified lengths and then dispatch, at assessable value to various stock yards and depots of the Company for further sale. Differential duty was paid by the Company after the month was over. Excise department contested this activity as ‘manufacturing’ and demanded duty from the EPA ignoring the payment of duty made by the Company. An appeal against the order of the Commissioner of Central Excise, Jamshedpur was filed in CESTAT, Kolkata and was allowed in favour of the EPA. Subsequently, the department challenged the same in Jharkhand High Court, Ranchi, which is still pending for hearing. Subsequent demand in this regard has not been adjudicated. Meanwhile, since September 2010, the decoiling and cutting activity with the EPA has been discontinued. The potential liability as of 31st March, 2013, will be approximately Rs.2988.800 Millions (31.03.2012: Rs.2988.800 Millions). However, the Company has already paid duty amounting to Rs.1964.800 Millions (31.03.2012: Rs.1964.800 Millions) till date based on the final sale price of the material.

 

(f) The State Government of Odisha introduced "Orissa Rural Infrastructure and Socio Economic Development Act, 2004" with effect from February 2005 levying tax on mineral bearing land computed on the basis of value of minerals produced from the mineral bearing land. The Company had filed a Writ Petition in the High Court of Orissa challenging the validity of the Act. Orissa High Court held in November 2005 that State does not have authority to levy tax on minerals. The State Government of Odisha moved to the Supreme Court against the order of Orissa High Court and the case is pending with Supreme Court. The potential liability, as of 31st March, 2013 would be approximately Rs.30064.600 Millions (31.03.2012: Rs.20858.800 Millions).

 

(g) In terms of the agreements entered into between Tata Teleservices Limited (TTSL), Tata Sons Limited (TSL) and NTT DoCoMo, Inc. of Japan (Strategic Partner-SP), the Company was given by Tata Sons an option to sell 5246590 equity shares in TTSL to the SP. Pursuant to the Rights Issue made in 2010-11, SP’s shareholding in TTSL has increased from 1172617866 equity shares of Rs.10 each to 1248974378 equity shares of Rs.10 each as on 31st March, 2013. The shareholding of SP represents 26.50% of the paid up equity share capital of TTSL on a fully diluted basis as against 26.27% prior to the issuance and allotment of Rights Shares to them.

 

If certain performance parameters and other conditions are not met by TTSL by 31st March, 2014 and should the SP decide to divest its entire shareholding in TTSL, acquired under the primary issue and the secondary sale, and should TSL be unable to find a buyer for such shares, the Company is obligated to acquire the shareholding of the SP, at the higher of fair value or 50 percent of the subscription purchase price subject to compliance with applicable exchange control regulations, in proportion of the number of shares sold by the company to the aggregate of the secondary shares sold to the SP, or if the SP divests the shares at a lower price pay a compensation representing the difference between such lower sale price and the price referred to above.

 

Further, in the event of breach of the representations and warranties (other than title and tax) and covenants not capable of specific performance, the Company is liable to reimburse TSL, on a pro rata basis, upto a maximum sum of Rs.60.000 Millions.

 

(h) The Company has been paying royalty on coal extracted from its quarries pursuant to the judgment and order dated 23rd July, 2002 passed by the Jharkhand High Court. However, the State Government demanded royalty at rates applicable to processed coal. Though the Company has contested the above demand, it has started paying, under protest, royalty on processed coal from November 2008. The incremental amount (including interest), if payable, for the period till October 2008 works out to Rs.4134.600 Millions (31.03.2012: Rs.3846.400 Millions) and has been considered as a contingent liability.

 

(i) The Company availed CENVAT credit on the invoices issued by Input Service Distributors (ISD) i.e. by Head office and Sales offices during the period 2006-07 to 2011-12. The Excise department issued show cause cum demand notices disallowing Rs.2155.900 Millions (31.03.2012: Nil) including penalty alleging that CENVAT credit can be distributed by an office of the manufacturer only. Accordingly, the head office can only distribute the CENVAT credit of input services and sales offices are not authorized to issue ISD invoices. The Company believes that as per rule any office of the manufacturer can issue ISD invoices for availment of CENVAT credit. The Company has filed appeals before CESTAT.

 

(j) Billets are being sent to Stockyard for onward transfer to external processing agents (EPA) for further manufacture on behalf of the Company. Since this transfer is for subsequent manufacture and not for sale, excise duty is paid on 110% of cost which is applicable for transfer of materials directly for manufacture. Excise department, Jamshedpur issued show cause notices demanding differential duty of Rs.1095.200 Millions (31.03.2012: Nil) including penalty for the period June 2007 to March 2012. Excise department has considered the price of the billets sold by Steel Authority of India (SAIL) as the price at which the duty should have been paid by the Company. The Company is in the process of filing an appeal before CESTAT.

 

(k) Commercial taxes department has issued demand of Rs.1383.400 Millions by treating 30% of the stock transfers as interstate sales to unregistered dealer and imposed tax @ 8%. The Company has filed a revision petition before the Commissioner Commercial Taxes, Ranchi (Jharkhand) and the hearing on merit is pending before the Commissioner Commercial Taxes, Ranchi (Jharkhand). The potential liability, as of 31st March, 2013, is Rs.1377.000 Millions (31.03.2012: Rs.1377.000 Millions).

 

(l) Bills discounted Rs.4695.800 Millions (31.03.2012: Rs.1747.800 Millions).

TATA STEEL RAIL CONTRACT TO LINK SAUDI ARABIA’S TWO HOLY

 

August 08, 2013

 

Tata Steel has won an order to manufacture 60,000 tonnes of high-quality rail for a new high-speed line linking the two holy cities of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.

 

The new railway will allow millions of pilgrims to cross the 276 miles (444km) between the two cities at speeds of 200mph (320kmh). The line will cross the desert, withstanding temperatures ranging from freezing to 50oC, as well as sandstorms, flash flooding and shifting dunes.

 

Gérard Glas, rail sector head for Tata Steel, said: “This is a prestigious project which will see the holy cities being linked by rail for the first time.

 

“Tata Steel is delighted to be contributing to this high-speed line, which will have to overcome some major challenges presented by building a high-capacity rail line across some of the most extreme terrain in the world.”

 

Steel for the project will be made at Tata Steel’s Scunthorpe plant before being rolled into rail in lengths of 25m both there and at the company’s plant in Hayange, Northern France.

 

Work on producing the rail will start at the end of this year and is expected to continue throughout 2014.

 

Tata Steel rail has already been used successfully in similarly challenging conditions for projects in Brazil and Mauritania.

 

Last year, the Saudi Railways Organization awarded the contract for the final phase of completing, running and maintaining the Haramain High-Speed Rail Project to a group of Spanish infrastructure, construction and technology companies.

 

Haramain means ‘two holy places’ in Arabic: Mecca is the location of the revelation of the Quran and Medina is the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad. The new line is expected to carry around 160,000 people a day — and even more during the Hajj pilgrimage. They will be transported on a fleet of 35, new, high-speed trains.

 

The project started in 2009, with an estimated cost of more than €12 billion. The new rail line is set to open to the public in late 2014 or early 2015.

 

Besides the two holy cities, the line will have three other stops, two in Jeddah for commuters and one in Saudi Arabia’s new King Abdullah Economic City, a residential, industrial and commercial macro-complex that is still being built.

 

Spanish construction companies Copasa, Imathia and OHL are responsible for building the line’s superstructure and the track bases, as well as for the line’s mechanisms.
