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.

SESA STERLITE – A
MERGER ANNOUNCEMENT
The Scheme of Amalgamation and Arrangement amongst Sterlite Industries
(India) Limited (SIIL), The Madras Aluminium Company Limited (MALCO), Sterlite
Energy Limited (SEL), Vedanta Aluminium Limited (VAL) with the Company, which
was announced last year has received approvals of respective company’s equity
shareholders, the Stock Exchanges in India and the Competition Commission of
India. Approval of Foreign Investment Promotion Board, respective company’s
equity shareholders and the Supreme Court of Mauritius approval for the merger
of Ekaterina Limited with the Sesa Goa Limited have been received. The High
Court of Mumbai at Goa has already approved both the mergers while the hearing
at the High Court of Madras has been completed and the order is awaited. The
Order of the Single Judge of High Court of Bombay at Goa approving both the
Schemes has been challenged before the Division Bench.
OPERATIONS
Iron Ore Business
2012-13 was a year of challenges for The Company – challenges
unprecedented in its history. In September / October 2012, the iron ore mining
operations in Goa were brought to a complete halt by an abrupt imposition of
ban on mineral extraction and transportation by the State Government and
subsequently by the Supreme Court. The Company’s entire iron ore mining
business is currently at a standstill in the State of Goa.
The Honourable Supreme Court of India has given clearance for resumption
of mining operations for A and B category mines in Karnataka subject to
statutory clearances, vide its order dated April 18, 2013. Sesa’s Karnataka mine
falls under B category, and the Company is in the process of securing necessary
statutory clearances to resume mining shortly.
The Ministry of Mines, Government of India, had constituted the Shah
Commission for inquiry into aspects of compliances for iron ore mining across
India in FY2011. Post the submission of Shah Commission report, in September
2012, the State Government of Goa, temporarily suspended the mining and
transportation of iron ore across the state of Goa. This was followed by an
Order from Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) putting into abeyance the
Environmental Clearances for iron ore mines in Goa. Subsequently, a review by a
High Powered committee appointed by the State government was also ordered. In
October 2012, the Honourable Supreme Court suspended mining and transportation
of Iron ore across the State of Goa and ordered a review by the Centrally
Empowered Committee (CEC). In view of the foregoing, operations at the
Company’s mines in Goa have been remained suspended. The Company has filed an
application before the Supreme Court seeking modification or vacation of the
aforesaid order. The hearing in the Court is yet to commence effectively.
Despite the adverse circumstances during the year, the Company looks
ahead to an early resolution of these challenges. We continue to work on
furthering our internal systemic robustness and strengthening processes to
handle such challenges. In 2012, Sesa became the 1st Indian mining company to
implement automation using RFID technology. The Implementation covers all Sesa
Group companies. The RFID system identifies the vehicle using RFID tags across
the Sesa operations in Goa and Karnataka and links forest passes and Department
of Mines and Geology permits (in Karnataka) with truck information thereby
providing assurance and control. Sesa received Supply Chain Technology
Advancement award at the 2nd Asia Manufacturing Supply Chain Summit (AMCSCS)
for this implementation.
Spot prices witnessed a significant drop from August due to drop in demand
reaching a low of $83 per tonne (63% Fe FOB India) in early September from
about ~$130 per tonne at the start of the year. With the improved sentiment in
China, iron ore spot prices experienced a sharp recovery, December onwards,
reaching above $140 per tonne in February 2013, before showing slight softening
in March to reach $125 per tonne on March 31, 2013. The average spot iron ore
price for 2012-13 was about ~20% lower at US$ 120 per tonne (63% grade FOB
price) level, compared to about ~$150 per tonne in 2011-12.
Exploration
Exploration at the Liberian project combined with significant new
discoveries in India has resulted in the addition of 1.03 billion tonnes of Ore
Reserves and Mineral Resources (R and R) in 2012-13. This includes 966 mt of JORC
/ CRIRSCO certified R and R in Liberia and 59 mt net R and R addition in India.
Now operating in India and Liberia, Sesa has applied new thinking to old
deposits. Driven by the consistent focus on resource addition, the total R and
R in Goa and Karnataka has increased 3.6 times (net of depletion) over the last
5 years. During 2012-13, over 95,000 metres were drilled, with about 69,000 m
in Liberia and about 26,500 m in India. The R and R as on March 31, 2013 now
stands at 433 mt in India and 966 mt in Liberia (WCL), totalling to 1,399 mt
for Sesa group. These resources in Liberia pertain to only a portion of the
exploration license area. With a small part of the strike length explored as on
date, there is a potential for significant upside with focused drilling in
coming years.
Pig Iron and Met
Coke Business
The Value Addition Business achieved a new landmark in August 2012 with
the commissioning of the new 450 m 3 blast furnace enhancing the pig iron
production from 0.25 to 0.625 mtpa, making us the largest low phosphorous pig
iron facility in India. A 0.28 mtpa metallurgical coke plant, a 0.8 mtpa sinter
plant and a 30 MW power plant have also been commissioned as part of the
expansion project. The newly commissioned sintering facility would enable the
Pig Iron Division (PID) to partially meet its iron ore requirement with
sintered iron ore fines, resulting in significant cost savings and increasing
efficiencies.
Driven by the commissioning of new capacities, pig iron production
increased by 24% from 248,729 tonnes in 2011-12 to 307,775 tonnes in 2012-13.
The pig iron sales volume increased by 10% from 250,571 tonnes in
2011-12 to 275,119 tonnes in 2012-13, while gross sales revenue grew by 7.4% to
Rs.7840.000 Millions in 2012-13 from Rs. 7300.000 Millions in 2011-12. Profits
before interest, tax, dividends and other nonrecurring or non-allocable incomes
for the Pig iron business decreased from Rs.450.000 Millions in 2011-12 to Rs.
(93.000) Millions in 2012-13.
The metallurgical coke production increased by 29% to 331 kt in 2012-13
due to new capacities commissioned in Q2 FY2013. Sales volume of metallurgical
(met) coke increased by 20% to 301,889 tonnes in 2012-13 from 251,264 tonnes in
2011-12. External sales revenue increased by 1.4% to Rs.5580.000 Millions in
2012-13 from Rs.5500.000 Millions in 2011-12.
Sesa had applied for validation of its European patent in Germany, Italy
and the United Kingdom. During the year, The International Organisation for
Patent and Trademark Service confirmed the validity of the patent overruling
some objections raised by a German Company.
Outlook
The iron ore mining industry continues to face increasing challenges
with social licensing as a result of the competition for resources, and high prices
increasing social pressure on the extractive industries to share more and more
benefits with the society.
As far as the overall iron ore market is concerned, despite temporary
glitches, the theme of the emerging market super cycle remains unchanged, on
the demand front. Supply forecasts continue to remain complex on account of
supply disruptions due to regulatory concerns as in India, weather disruptions
as in Australian ports, continued structural challenges from cost inflations,
grade depletion and large uncertainty of project. However, in the longer term,
prices are forecast to be under pressure as and when supply picks up with
several new investments coming on stream, albeit supported by the phasing out
of high cost operations.
Despite all these challenges, the overall outlook for Sesa remains
positive. Sesa’s low cost operations in Goa and Karnataka are well placed to
sustain any cost or pricing pressures. The Supreme Court has already permitted
a conditional resumption of operations in Karnataka and the Company is in the
process of securing the statutory clearances for an early resumption of
operations. The expansion projects at pig iron and metallurgical coke
operations have been commissioned, with the sinter plant adding key strategic
ability to utilise iron ore fines. With the maiden resource estimate at Liberia
already announced, Sesa’s total reserves and resources exceed 1.4 billion
tonnes with a significant upside expected from hitherto untouched exploration
area in Liberia.

CAIRN INDIA'S DIVIDEND PAYOUT CRUCIAL FOR VEDANTA: MOODY'S
APRIL 24, 2013
NEW DELHI: Cairn India's dividend payouts are crucial for Vedanta Group to service debt it had raised to acquire the oil company, credit rating agency Moody's Investors Service said today.
Cairn this week announced a final dividend of Rs 6.5 per share, taking total dividend declared for 2012-13 to Rs 11.5 per share or about $ 407 million. Moody's Investors Service said the dividend payout was on expected lines and "there is no immediate impact on Vedanta Resources Plc's Ba1 corporate family rating." "The rating remains under review for possible downgrade," it said.
"Cairn's payment of dividends is crucial for Vedanta given its reliance on the up-streamed dividend to service the debt raised to acquire its stake in Cairn," said Alan Greene, a Moody's Senior Credit Officer in a note.
The dividend was more important for its co-shareholder, Sesa Goa Limited, which is currently losing money on its core iron ore operations due to the mining restrictions imposed in Goa and Karnataka, and which has its own debt to service. Vedanta owns a 38.7 per cent stake in Cairn through a Mauritius holding company, and 20.1 per cent indirectly through Sesa Goa.
"Absent an improvement in base metal prices and the continuing mining ban in Goa, we expect Cairn to remain as Vedanta's main EBITDA contributor over the next 12 months," Greene said.
Cairn will invest over $ 3 billion over the next three years in development and exploration activities, aiming at unlocking further potential within the Rajasthan block and potentially outside Rajasthan.
"Moody's expects both this level of capex and dividend to be funded without reducing the $ 3 billion of cash and cash equivalents reported by Cairn," the note said.
Cairn's reported cash flow from operations was $ 2.034 billion in 2012-13.
Moody's Investors Service said the January-March quarter was weaker for Cairn as compared to same period the previous year as the increase in the cess rate and lower realised prices per barrel offset the volume gains.
In Q4 2012-13, Cairn reported EBITDA of $ 534 million compared to $ 581 million a year earlier.
"Nevertheless, Cairn is stepping up exploration activity and EBITDA should be bolstered as additional wells are drilled and completed, and once the field development plan is approved," it said.
SESA GOA SHARES: WEDDING BELLS, AT LAST, BUT...
SEPTEMBER 16 2013
Sesa Goa’s stock has rallied sharply (up 35%) in the past fortnight backed by regulatory clearances for its long pending merger of Sterlite into Sesa and expectations of the company receiving approval for the buyout of the government’s residual stakes in Hindustan Zinc and Balco. The merger approval should boost the company’s efforts towards simplifying its corporate structure and offer a much diversified revenue and Ebitda mix.
However, we believe that issues of cash fungibility across group businesses will remain as cash-rich zinc (HZL) and oil (Cairn India) businesses are housed in separate entities. Post-the sharp move in stock price, we see limited upside from current levels until there is more clarity on cost effective bauxite sourcing for the Jharsuguda aluminum operations (erstwhile VAL) or there is improved visibility on captive coal for the company’s power operations. We downgrade Sesa to Hold with a target price of R170/share (vs R166 earlier).
We continue to remain positive on HZL on the back of the improving outlook for mined metal growth and refined metal growth. We have increased our FY14e earnings for HZL by 10% to factor in a depreciated INR and reiterate our Buy rating with a revised target price of R144/share (vs R134 earlier).
The merger provides impetus to the group’s efforts towards simplification of the complex corporate structure. Sesa Sterlite, the new entity, will now house all the operating businesses in India and should help in better alignment of the promoter interest. But cash fungibility is likely to remain limited under the new structure as well. Since oil and zinc business are housed in separate entities, it should limit the group’s access to the impressive cash flows being generated by these world class businesses.
Also, the earnings prospects for the aluminum (VAL) and
power business (Sterlite Energy Limited) housed in the standalone Sesa Sterlite
remain subdued with visibility remaining low on captive bauxite and coal
supplies. With recent stock performance already factoring in benefits from the
corporate restructuring and probable sale of government’s residual stakes in
Hindustan Zinc to a large extent, we would wait for more clarity on steps to

JANUARY 25, 2013

on account of ban on mining in Goa and Karnataka, a top company official said

top management, including company’s managing director and other Board members,
and 10 percent for manager level employees.

New Delhi: Vedanta group firm Sesa Goa has deferred 10-25 percent of salaries
to its senior employees as it grapples with huge erosion in sales and profits on
account of ban on mining in Goa and Karnataka, a top company official said
today. From 1 January, payment of 25 percent of salaries have been deferred for
top management, including company’s managing director and other Board members,
and 10 percent for manager level employees.
Iron woes. Reuters Iron woes. Reuters “We have deferred 10 to 25 percent of the salaries of company’s executives from 1 January but it is not a cut, only deferment and is applicable for non-unionised and managerial staff. I, myself, have gone for a 25 percent deferment in salary,” said Sesa Goa managing director PK Mukherjee.
The country’s largest private sector iron ore producer is going through possibly the worst period in its history due to mining ban in Goa, where it is based.
The company did not produce or sell iron ore in the last quarter from Goa, where the ban was first imposed by the state government in September and subsequently extended by the Supreme Court in October. The ban was imposed after a report by Justice MB Shah Commission, which pegged a Rs 350000.000 Millions loss to the exchequer due to illegal mining in the state.
Sesa Goa’s operations in Karnataka are already closed for more than a year due to the apex court-imposed mining ban in the state. It reported a whopping 91.26 percent fall in net sales to Rs 2275.400 Millions in the October-December quarter. The firm would have posted a consolidated net loss of Rs 1722.500 Millions for the quarter, had it not been aided by a Rs 6690.000 Millions profit from associate firm and oil major, Cairn India. “It all depends on how the apex court decides the Goa mining issue. There have been many hearings but we all are waiting for a final outcome. I am definitely positive that Goa will not go Karnataka way,” Mukherjee said when asked about the way forward for the iron ore mining firm. Not only Sesa Goa but Goan economy in general has been hit hard by the mining ban, he said. “The matter needs attention of the authorities as about one third of the population is dependent on mining. With due respect to all the authorities, I don’t find a sense of urgency to resolve the matter. I am open to discuss it at any forum,” Mukherjee said. On Karnataka, where Sesa Goa’s capacity has been pruned to 2.29 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) from 6 MTPA, he said that the company is hopeful of resuming its operations soon but again it depends on apex court permission. “Our Reclamation and Rehabilitation plan has already been cleared by the Central Empowered Committee (CEC). Now we are waiting for directions from the apex court,” he said.
