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.

The Company is also in the process of setting up a Beneficiation plant at Dabuna (Orissa) another Slurry pipeline and Pelletization plant at Paradeep. The company also operates processing and distribution centers, Hypermarts and Express Marts at various locations across the India.

 

 

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 Europe. From late 2009, fears of sovereign debt crisis developed concerning some European states. Concern about rising government deficit and debt level across the globe together with a wave of downgrading of European government debt created alarm in financial market. On May 2010 Europe’s Finance Minister approved a comprehensive rescue package aimed to ensuring financial stability across Europe by creating the European Financial Stability Facility.

 

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 North Africa.

 

The macroeconomic impact of the earthquake in Japan is projected to be limited, although uncertainty remains elevated. The flood in Australia impacted supply of Coking Coal used primarily in steel making and prices has increased beyond previously forecasted prices as a result of supply disruptions caused by the floods.

 

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

 

India witnessed robust economic growth at 8.5% during the Financial Year 2010-11. According to CMIE, the growth had been powered by a rebound in the agricultural sector which grew at 5% following the drought in 2009-10, and a sharp pick-up in private consumption and gross fixed capital formation. The manufacturing sector saw an annual growth of 8.1% in output during FY 2011 as against 11% during FY 2010. Similarly, the Mining Sector saw a decline in growth to 5.9% in FY 2011 compared to 9.9% in FY 2010. The capital Goods segment was among the most affected as it grew by just 9.3% in 2010-11 as compared to 20.9% in the previous fiscal. Inflation remained a cause for concern. Persistent inflationary pressures have been driven by rising income levels and inadequate policies to increase the supply of goods in the economy.

 

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. India and China, which were least affected by the slow down and continued to grow at robust rates.

 

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 Japan.

 

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 Germany and France are forecast to enjoy solid recovery in steel use mainly in the automotive and machine building sectors.

 

The recovery of steel use in the CIS has been healthy mainly due to a strong rebound from steel-using sectors in Russia.

 

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 India reached 65.6 mmt, registering a growth of10.6% over FY 2009-10 levels. Finished Steel production in the country registered a growth of 8% during FY 2010-11 and reached a level of 66 mmt.

 

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 Asia’s widest and only mill to produce 5 meter plates in the country, with a comprehensive thickness range of 5 to 150 mm.

 

·         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 Iron Ore through railway rake and road, purchase of iron ore fines and Pellets from alternate sources.

 

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 India has gone up to 3.5 mtpa and two more Service Centers at Indore and Kolkata are under various stages of commissioning.

• 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 Nissan, Japan has approved Essar Steel for HR and CR supplies to its Indian and overseas facilities.

o Essar Steel entered into an agreement with Kobe Steel, Japan for development of skin panels for automotive applications.

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 India was successfully concluded in the financial year 2010-11 (w.e.f. April 1, 2009) based on the orders of the Honourable High Court of Bombay Judicature and the Honourable High Court of Gujarat. This, along with the commissioning of the various plant facilities as outlined in the “Operations” Section above, has brought the Company closer to achieving the plan to be a 10 million metric ton per annum Steel producer; and thus poised to become one of the leading steel producers in the country.

 

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 FRONT-RUNNER IN RACE FOR STEMCOR INDIA'S ASSETS

 

Essar Steel has the brightest chance of winning the assets due to its long-time association with Stemcor

 

New Delhi July 31, 2013

 

Ruais-promoted Essar Steel is the front-runner to clinch Stemcor India's assets for which at least a dozen domestic and overseas firms, including Tata Steel, Vale and JSW Steel are also in the fray.


In a meeting held last week in London, Stemcor's senior management had asked Essar Group founder Ravi Ruia to make an upfront payment and take away the assets, which have an estimated enterprise value of $800 million, a source told PTI.


Though it could not be immediately ascertained what Ruia had communicated to Stemcor, the source said the British trading firm in the meantime has initiated the process of auctioning the assets which include an iron ore mine and a pellet plant, both located in Odisha.

 

Essar Steel has the brightest chance of winning the assets as Stemcor management has been continuously favouring Ruias-led firm based on their mutual understanding and faith accruing from a long-time association, the source added.


Stemcor had its first joint venture in India with Essar Steel and jointly, these two firms set up a 3 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) pellet plant at Vizag in Gujarat back in 2001 though Stemcor, later in 2003, sold its stake to Essar Steel.

However, when contacted an Essar Steel spokesperson said: "We keep looking at growth opportunities. However, it is not our policy to comment on any specific proposal."

 

The assets would help Essar Steel to further consolidate its raw material needs and help the company to hedge itself from the frequent price fluctuations of iron ore.


Meanwhile, almost all Indian steel makers, including Tata Steel, JSW Steel, JSPL, Electrosteel Castings, Adhunik Metaliks, have evinced interest to buy out Stemcor India's assets. Aditya Birla Group's Essel Mining and Industries and Anil Agarwal's Vedanta are also in the race along with Brazilian miner Vale.


Stemcor has asked all of them to place their initial bids and may allow them to carry out due diligence before putting their final bids. Auction is 6-8 weeks away, the source said.


Earlier in the day, JSPL's Chairman Naveen Jindal said that his company would be "keen" to buy the assets provided those come at an "attractive price".


Stemcor has majority stake in Aryan Mining and Trading Corporation (AMTC), which has 100 MT of iron ore reserves with the licence to mine three mtpa. It also has 10 per cent stake in Mideast Integrated Steel (MISL) in Odisha. MISL has an iron ore mine with a current output of four mtpa.


Stemcor has a subsidiary, Brahmani River Pellets Limited (BRPL), which has a four mtpa beneficiation plant at Barbil, Odisha, and a pellet plant complex at Jajpur, connected by a 220 km underground slurry pipeline.

 

 

ESSAR STEEL LIKELY TO GET ANOTHER RS 60000.000 MILLIONS WILL HELP FIRM AVOID CDR

 

Aug 30 2013

 

A consortium of 15 lenders led by State Bank of India (SBI) will likely add to its exposure to the highly-leveraged Essar Steel India, lending it an additional Rs 60000.000 Millions. Essar Steel, promoted by the Ruias, has already borrowed close to Rs. 300000.000 Millions. Essar group, in turn, will bring in Rs 20000.000 Millions by way of promoters’ contribution. Of the Rs. 60000.000 Millions, the company will use around Rs. 20000.000-25000.000 Millions to repay group companies from whom it borrowed to pay banks.

 

Bankers defend the fresh exposure saying without this, Essar Steel would end up in the corporate debt restructuring (CDR) cell. They point out that although the company has not defaulted, it might have trouble servicing its debt. “It’s better to give them the additional amount than restructuring the account since that would mean taking a hit on the interest,” a senior banker explained. The banks plan to take this fresh exposure to the steel company at an interest rate of 12.50%. A restructuring allows the borrower to revive the business since he gets more lenient repayment terms. In the April-June 2013 quarter, banks have already restructured Rs. 212660.000 Millions. In FY13, banks had restructured over Rs. 760000.000 Millions of loans through this route.

 

Essar Steel’s revenues in FY13 were Rs.220000.000 Millions and are projected to rise to Rs. 330000.000 Millions in FY15 once the plant is fully operational. The steel major, part of the Essar Group conglomerate, is also trying to reduce its interest cost by refinancing its rupee debt via funds raised in dollars. Last month, the company raised $1 billion (approximately Rs. 68000.000 Millions) through external commercial borrowings and has plans to raise $2 billion more through pre-export finance, which will be borrowed against confirmed orders from foreign buyers, by the end of the year.

 

Essar paid Rs 60000.000 Millions to banks since March, 2011, the scheduled date of commercialisation, as per the original loan schedule. Since its raw material plant in Orissa will only be completed by December, 2013, Essar has made a case for an additional loan, arguing it was making the payments before the actual commercial operations date (CoD).

 

Currently, Essar Steel pays 12.5-13% on its rupee debt, which may come down by 6% to 7% via the refinancing, according to the company spokesperson.

 

Bankers draw comfort from the steps the management has initiated to cut costs and increase margins. The company plans to sell high-strength and low-alloy products, and has already started supplying steel for building the Indian Navy’s warships, which was earlier being imported.

 

The steel major, which exported 1.1 million tonnes of steel during 2012-13, is also planning to increase its exports to 1.4 million tonnes for 2013-14. The company also has recently completed the expansion of its steel manufacturing capacity, which is the largest single-location steel plant commissioned at a capital outlay of Rs 375000.000 Millions, from 4.6 mtpa to 10 mtpa at Hazira.

 

“Essar Steel has completed its project at a highly competitive capital cost i.e. Rs.37,500 per tonne of capacity (including pellet capacity) vis-a-vis Indian industry benchmark for new capacity of over Rs 60,000 per tonne,” said a company note. The company has also got access to the national power grid which will save us a further Rs 3000.000-4000.000 Millions,” the company executive said.

 

 

RS 10000.000 MILLIONS CLAIM: COURT RESERVES ORDER ON ESSAR STEEL’S PLEA AGAINST NEW INDIA ASSURANCE

 

New India Assurance had denied the Essar Steel claim, arguing that the company had not disclosed the history of Naxal attacks on its pipelines before buying the policy.

 

Mumbai, May 2, 2013:  

 

The Bombay High Court has reserved its order on a plea filed by Essar Steel Limited against New India Assurance.  The steel-making arm of the diversified Essar Group had appealed to the court to appoint an arbitrator in its dispute with the country’s largest general insurance company.

 

The Ruia’s-controlled steel major had filed an arbitration case challenging the denial of a Rs 1000.000 Millions insurance claim for damage caused to its pipelines in Chhattisgarh in Naxal attacks in 2010.

 

Arguing the case on behalf of New India Assurance, senior counsel Aspi Chinoy said Essar Steel was denied a claim as the company had not disclosed the history of Naxal attacks before buying the policy, which could have helped the insurer decide the risk involved.

 

New India claimed Essar Steel had hidden the fact that there had been 10-11 attacks by Naxals on its projects in the past.

 

Essar said there was no need to make any disclosures on terrorist or Naxal attacks as these were common knowledge.

 

Essar Steel, in its claim, said its pumping station and slurry pipeline in Chitrakonda, Odisha, were blown up by terrorists in March 2010, causing it losses of about Rs 1000.000 Millions

 

 

ESSAR STEEL WINS GLOBAL PIPE ORDERS WORTH RS 4000.000 MILLIONS

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

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 370000.000-380000.000 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
