INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The worst is over for India’s economy with gross domestic product likely to expand 5 %to 5.5 % this year and more than 6 % in 2015, according to Moody’s Analytics. Concerns over the rupee and current account deficit are under control, said the agency. Ratings firm Crisil has forecast 6 % growth for 2014/15 up from the estimated 4.8 % for 2013/14.  Total economic growth, infrastructure bottlenecks and lack of transparency and consistency in foreign direct investment policies seem to have taken a toll on India’s attractiveness as an investment destination, says an Ernst & Young survey.  Projects with FDI component fell 16.4 % across the globe in 2012 from the previous year.  The drop in India was steeper at 21 %. State run carrier Air India is doling out free tickets to its 24000 employees, even as it expects to incur a loss of Rs 39000 mn this financial year and has a debt of Rs 350000 mn. 550000 number of jobs generated across India in 2013, a fall of 0.4 % as compared to with a year earlier. The National Capital Region has a one-fourth share in total jobs created, according to a study by industry lobby group Assochem, Banks, real estate, automobile and telecommunications sectors are showing a rise of job creation. $ 805 mn investments by venture capital firms in India during 2013, registering a drop of about 18 % over the previous year. The Information Technology and IT-Enabled Services Industry retained its status as the favourable venture capital investors in 2013. Pakistan has temporarily banned gold imports for the second time in six months, as it tries to stem smuggling into India. India’s import duty on gold is 10 % and curbs on purchases have dried up legal imports into what used to be the world’s biggest bullion buyers. The World Gold Council puts the amount smuggled into India at upto 200 tonnes in 2013. The Reserve Bank of India has proposed that unclaimed bank deposits estimated to be about Rs 35000 mn be used for education and awareness among depositors.  According to the plan, deposits that have not been claimed for at least 10 years will be transferred to the scheme.

ECONOMIC REVIEW

Global Economy

The global economy failed to raise hopes of a quick turnaround in FY 2012-13. Europe continued to reel under an escalating debt burden and emergency rescue efforts by the European Central Bank helped avoid a financial crisis. On the other side of the Atlantic, the US economy showed early signs of recovery driven by improving manufacturing and housing sectors, steady fiscal consolidation and rising employment. Most of the emerging economies remained resilient to headwinds during the last few years. However, most of them experienced moderate growth. Global GDP experienced a growth rate of 3.1% in FY 2012. It is likely to touch 3.1% in FY 2013 and improve to 3.8% in FY 2014

World output	3.1	3.1	3.8
Advanced economies	1.2	1.2	2.1
Emerging market and developing economies	4.9	5.0	5.4

USA

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the fundamentals of the US economy are stabilising, although at a slow pace. There are still powerful headwinds, which need to be addressed with greater fiscal prudence. The expiration of the payroll tax cut earlier this year and the impact of government spending cut is expected to dampen growth in 2013. However, the IMF predicts a slightly brighter picture and expects economic activity to accelerate to 2.7% in 2014, as the fiscal drag subsides and the negative legacies of the financial crisis wane further. The rate of unemployment is also expected to decline in 2014

Eurozone

The recent developments in the Euro region have not been very promising. The region is still plagued by financial vulnerabilities, resulting in an estimated contraction in growth rate in 2013 as well. Lack of formation of comprehensive set of banking, financial and fiscal policies has added to the existing problems of rising debt, plummeting growth and social unrest.

Japan

After years of recession and slow growth, Japan's economy is on its way to recovery. It was plagued with high level of public debt, low investor confidence and minimal manufacturing activity. However, the new government is working on aggressive quantitative easing, a positive inflation target, fiscal stimulus and structural reforms.

Indian Economy

Weakening global scenario, declining investments and inconsistent domestic demand-supply situation resulted in a slowdown in India's growth rates in 2012-13. Besides, tightened liquidity scenario to rein in inflation dampened the investment sentiment. The country posted a decade-low GDP growth of 5% in 2012-13. India's economy, now estimated at $1.78 trillion (around Rs. 100 trillion), is expected to move ahead with a stronger resilience.

Silver lining

India's fiscal deficit stood at 4.89% of gross domestic product (GDP), compared with the revised estimate of 5.2% of GDP earlier. The revenue deficit was also lower in 2012-13 at 3.6% of GDP, compared with the revised estimate of 3.9% of GDP in 2011-12. The government is implementing pro-growth policies, including a sharp cut in expenditure, to reduce fiscal deficit and drive India's economic growth.

INDUSTRY REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Global Steel Industry

The year 2012 turned out to be a challenging one for the global steel industry. This was mainly due to the Eurozone crisis, which persisted through major part of the year. Besides, emerging economies failed to sustain a high steel demand and witnessed supply growth outpacing demand. Recent data from the World Steel Association shows that global crude steel production peaked at 1,547.8 billion tonnes in 2012, up 1.2% over the previous year.

Under utilisation - an area of concern

Unutilised capacity remains one of the gravest issues in the global steel sector. With capacity utilisation rates remaining below 80%, global steel supply continues to outpace demand. Subdued demand from China with pressure on prices, will continue to impact the global steel sector's growth rates in 2013.

India's Steel Industry

The domestic steel industry has a significant role to play in the country's economic growth. Over the years, India has acquired a prominent position on the global steel map. This was driven by the growing capacities of India's steel industry. Besides, strategic acquisition of global players, continuous modernisation and up gradation of old plants, improving energy-efficient methodologies and backward integration into raw material sourcing also played a major role in enhancing capacities of the country's steel industry.

Anticipated Growth

India is ranked fourth largest globally for its crude steel capacity production and is expected to become the second largest by 2015-16. It is also the world's largest sponge iron producer with a host of coal-based units located in its mineral-rich states. The country's crude steel production is estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 10% from 2010 to 2013, whereas the finished steel consumption is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of around 12% during FY 2012-14. With an estimated US$1 trillion infrastructure investment plan in pipeline under the 12th Five Year Plan, the country's demand for steel is expected to escalate.

Demand Drivers

Real Estate: With an investment volume of US$3.4 billion, India was ranked 20th in the list of the world's top real estate investment markets in 2012. By 2020, the sector is expected to earn revenues of US$180 billion. The country's real estate investment market is likely to grow at a CAGR of 19% between 2010 and 2014, with theTier-l (metropolitan) cities anticipated to witness maximum growth.

Automotive: India is one of the fastest growing passenger car markets globally and the second largest two-wheeler manufacturer globally. The Indian small and light vehicle segments are expected to more than double by 2015-16 and grow at 18.5% CAGR over the next five years.

Construction: The sector plays a vital role in India's economic growth, supported by the country's expanding economy, increased government spending on public infrastructure, high urbanisation and a supportive foreign direct investment (FDI) system. The infrastructure, industrial and commercial construction markets collectively contributed 74.2% of the total Indian construction industry in 2012. Consequently, the contributions of these three markets are expected to be significant in the overall growth of India's construction industry over the forecast period.

India's Power Industry

Power sector is integral to a country's economic growth and prosperity. However, India's power sector grew by only 5% in the previous fiscal - the lowest growth rate in the last 10 years. India's demand for electricity is growing significantly, as people are aspiring for a better quality of life. It is expected to increase further in the coming years. In view of the increasing demand, India's Power Ministry has targeted a capacity addition of 85,000 MW in the Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012-17).

India's Metals and Mining Industry

The Indian metals and mining industry has been valued at US$ 141.9 billion in 2011 and is expected to grow to US$ 305.5 billion by 2015. The country accounted for 7.3% of the Asia Pacific metal and mining industry in 2011. It is likely to import 1.0 million metric tonnes of iron ore each month from the current fiscal, despite its long held status as the world's third largest exporter. The country witnessed its lowest ever iron ore export in 2012-13, estimated at close to 18 million tonnes (mt), a decline of 69% compared to the previous year. This is primarily due to a decline in domestic output on account of a ban on illegal mining operations in some mineral-rich states. Despite the Supreme Court lifting its ban on most mines, it would take some time for them to be operational to their fullest extent.

Operational Review

JSPL operates with capacities of 3 MTPA of steel, 15 MTPA of iron ore and coal mining, 2,457 MW of power generation, 1.5 MTPA of hot briquetted iron and 4.5 MTPA of pellet. The Company is among the few in the world operating as a fully integrated steel manufacturer with presence across the value chain of flats and longs.

Angul: Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL) on Friday said it has signed a pact with Lurgi for roping it in as the technology partner for its Rs. 550000.000 Millions coal to liquid (CTL) project, but will not offer any equity to the German firm.

"We have entered into an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) with Lurgi of Germany for CTL technology but without any investment participation from Lurgi in the project," JSPL deputy managing director and CEO (steel business) V R Sharma told PTI.

The Frankfurt-based Lurgi is an engineering firm with hi-tech expertise in the entire process chain of CTL projects. It also has a wholly-owned subsidiary in India - Lurgi India Company.

JSPL's subsidiary, Jindal Synfuels, would develop the project in Odisha's Angul district at a total cost of Rs. 550000.000 Millions, Mr Sharma said.

Mr Sharma said for other products such as methanol, JSPL is looking for technology partners from the US and Europe, other than Lurgi.

JSPL has already been allocated a coal mine for the project. The company expects to get the prospecting licence soon. The coal from the mine would be used as raw material for the project.

Mr Sharma said JSPL did not tie-up with South Africa's Sasol because the technology provided by the firm can't absorb high-ash coal which is in abundance in the country.

JINDAL STEEL AND POWER BAGS RS 500 CRORE ORDER FROM POWER GRID

January 24, 2013

New Delhi: Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL) today said it has bagged a Rs. 5000.000 Millions order from Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL) for the supply of 80,000 tonnes of steel, which will be used in setting up two transmission towers in Southern India.

"We are happy to bag the PGCIL order for supplying 80,000 tonnes of steel for setting up transmission towers. Worth Rs. 5000.000 Millions, the order will be executed from February onwards," a company spokesperson told PTI.

The Naveen Jindal-led steelmaker will be supplying rolled back angle sections for tower packages associated with 765 KV d/c current Vamgiri-Khammam-Hyderabad transmission line and 765 KV d/c Nagapattinam-Salem-Madhugiri transmission line.

JSPL emerged as the lowest bidder for the order, the spokesperson said, adding "it further reinforces the strength, credibility and tenacity of the company's products". The city-based company currently has a total steel production capacity of 3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) at  its Raigarh plant in Chhattisgarh.

Besides, it also has a 0.6 MTPA wire rod mill and a 1 MTPA capacity bar mill at Patratu, Jharkhand, and a plate mill to produce up to 5 metre wide plates at Angul, Odisha.

The company has chalked out an ambitious growth plan to have 20 MTPA steel making capacity by 2020. Shares of the company were being traded at Rs. 423.85 apiece on the BSE at 1.20 p.m. which fell 0.50 per cent from the previous close.

JSPL TO SET PELLET PLANT IN ODHISA, TO INVEST RS 14000.000 Millions

Sep 25, 2013

Jindal Steel and Power today said it plans to set up a 7 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) pellet plant at Angul in Odisha with an investment of up to Rs 14000.000 Millions.

"We are going to set up a pellet plant at Angul. We already have the clearance from the state government to put up the plant," Jindal Steel and Power's (JSPL) Deputy Managing Director and CEO (Steel) V R Sharma told reporters here.

"The investment for a pellet plant of 7 mtpa size varies somewhere between Rs 12000.000-14000.000 Millions," he added. JSPL has a 4.5 mtpa pellet plant at Barbil in Odisha and and is in the process of doubling the capacity. The additional 7 mtpa capacity would come as a part of its expansion project at Angul, where the company is expanding its steel-making capacity to 3.5 mtpa from 2.5 mtpa now.

"The pellet plant will come with our second phase of expansion at Angul. We are going to put up blast furnace, another DRI, another coke oven battery at Angul. With that we are going to put up the pellet plant," Sharma said.

The expansion work at Angul would start as soon as JSPL secures the financial closure for which it is in talks with the prospective banks. Sharma said JSPL was keen on adding value to the iron ore fines by setting up the pellet plant as in the areas closer to Angul plant, there is hardly any pelletisation taking place now.

"Fines are available in plenty there, but people are not converting (fines) to pelletes. So, we will happy to convert them (fines) into pellets," he said. Sharma said India currently has around 50 mtpa pellet capacity and with the ongoing expansions, it would go up to 70 mtps in the next five years. He also expressed hope that the capacity would go up to 120 mtpa by 2022.

CCI REVIEWS IMPEDING PROJECTS CLEARED IN PREVIOUS MEETINGS

Sep 17, 2013

The Cabinet Committee on Investments (CCI) on Tuesday reviewed issues impeding seven big infrastructure ticket projects spread across petroleum, power and steel sectors and status of road projects and fuel supply agreements.

Sources present in the meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh also analysed the progress of projects that the high powered committee had taken up in its previous meetings, reports CNBC-TV18’s Rituparna Bhuyan and Anshu Sharma.

The seven infrastructure projects on Tuesday’s CCI agenda accounted for Rs 1.6 lakh crore worth of investments, which included the phase 3 expansion of Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals ( MRPL ) (Rs 121600.000 Millions), JSW 's Jharkhand steel plant (Rs 350000.000 Millions), expansion of IOC 's Paradip refinery (Rs 29800 0.000 Millions), JSPL 's Angul project (Rs 293000.000 Millions) and Reliance Power ’s Tilaiya UMPP, which is plagued by land acquisition problems.

JINDAL STEEL AND POWER: DOWN BUT NOT OUT

September 21, 2012

The Inter Ministerial Group (IMG) reviewing non-performing coal blocks has recommended deduction of bank guarantees given for Jindal Steel and Power’s (JSPL) Jitpur block (81 million tonnes of geological reserves), allocated in February 2007. While none can predict how things will eventually shape up, given the public interest litigation filed in the Supreme Court regarding these allocations, for now this latest bit of news is positive for JSPL, as it removes one of the key overhangs on the stock, feel analysts.

Says Atul Tiwari, analyst, Citi Research, “JSPL can now focus on the development of the coal block, which will supply coal to half of the 1,320 Mw Godda project. JSPL, no doubt, will have to pay the bank guarantee but the amount involved is not large.” While a few analysts are still sceptical, the Street has welcomed the move. Since Monday’s closing, JSPL’s stock is up 8.3 per cent to Rs 403, taking the total gains to 27 per cent from a three-year low of Rs 324 on September 12.

What’s also giving confidence to analysts is the company’s business model and strategy of having captive resources for both the steel and power business, which helps it earn high operating profit margins of a little over 35 per cent. Notably, unlike most steel companies, JSPL has low debt on its books (debt-equity ratio of 0.6 times). Says Chirag Shah, analyst, Barclays Equity Research, “We believe JSPL offers a relatively superior business model, both in the steel and power business.” With a valuation of nine times FY14 estimated consolidated earnings, even after the recent rally from its three year lows, the stock is seen as attractive. However, given the near-term uncertainties, investors could consider the stock but from a long-term perspective.

JSPL has been asked to earmark 2% of the net profit as the CSR budget and to adopt dry quenching in coke oven plant to conserve water, use 100% fly ash generated for cement and brick manufacturing and back filling in the captive coal mine and abandoned coal mines. Further 33% of the area is to be developed as a green belt,

coal gasification technology is to be used for manufacture of DRI, to achieve particulate emissions below 50 mg/m³ and adopt rainwater harvesting measures.

The company will comply with all directions given in the MoEF communication.

JSPL is planning to invest Rs. 500000.000 Millions to set up a 12.5 million tonne integrated steel plant and 2600 MW captive power plant in Odisha in phases. The company is also investing close to Rs 450000.000 Millions on the coal to liquid project in the state to produce an estimated 80,000 barrels per day (4.0 MMTPA) crude oil using environment-friendly indirect coal liquefaction technology from M/s. Lurgi of Germany.

JINDAL STEEL AND POWER LIMITED Q3 FY 13-14 RESULTS

JSPL continue their growth momentum

JSPL braving the challenge of virtual nil growth in steel industry; sagging power demand and merchant rates and additional burden of depreciation and interest costs caused by major capacity expansion projects undertaken during 2013-14, put up an impressive performance during Q3 FY14.

JSPL Consolidated turnover during Q3FY14 grew by 8% and 12% compared to Q2FY14 and Q3FY13 respectively. The company’s Profit after Tax (PAT) recorded an increase of 23% over the previous quarter but was lower by 36% compared to the same quarter last year.

Steel Business’s Net Price Realization increased by 2.5% and 4% over Q3 FY13 and Q2 FY14 respectively. The Q3 FY14 PAT of JSPL (Standalone) increased by 42% compared to the previous quarter this year but it fell short of the same quarter in FY13 by 30% due to increased burden of interest and depreciation of the recently commissioned Angul Steel Plant.

The Company maintained its tempo of growth in both exports and retail business.

RS 60K CR LOST TO ILLEGAL MINING IN ODISHA: SHAH COMMISSION

Minerals worth about Rs 60,0000.000 millions were illegally mined in Odisha during 2008-2011, Justice MB Shah Commission of Inquiry said in its report tabled in Parliament Monday.

The first part of the government-appointed Commission's report, running in five volumes, said most of the mining activities in the mineral-rich state were carried out in disregard to rules, regulations and environmental norms.

"Value of the unlawful extraction of iron and manganese ore comes to Rs 59,2000.000 millions.... Let the state government recover the said amount, by finalising the proceedings on the basis of the notices as early as possible," it said.

The recovered amount should be used for development of Keonjhar and Sundargarh districts of the state which are badly affected by illegal mining, the report tabled in the Rajya Sabha said.

"This at least can remove the poverty of tribals who are affected or whose lands are used for mining purpose," the report said, adding that mining operations led to displacement of tribals and forced them to stay in "pathetic and miserable conditions".

The Odisha government has already sent out 146 notices to leading iron and steel makers which were allegedly involved into illegal mining.

The Commission, set up to look into irregularities in the mining space between 2008 and 2011, said: "During this period, there was a collapse of government machinery" which "looked to be ineffective and helpless in front of mining mafia, persons in political life, mighty lesses and some corrupt officials".

"Since there is involvement of mighty lesses, big traders of state and outside state, political entities, officers at higher rank, it will not be possible by state police to find the facts and realities and there would be no justice done for quantum of illegalities took place," it said recommending a CBI probe into the issue.

GOVERNMENT DEALLOCATES URTAN COAL MINE ALLOTED TO JSPL, MONNET ISPAT

The Coal Ministry today said it has cancelled the allotment of a coal block in Madhya Pradesh to Jindal Steel and Power Limited and Monnet Ispat and Energy Limited as they have failed to develop it.

While Monnet said it is considering moving court against the decision, JSPL stated that all efforts were made to develop the block. "The companies have failed to develop the same (coal block) as per the milestones prescribed without any valid reasons for the delay. It has been decided to de-allocate the Urtan North coal block in the state of Madhya Pradesh allocated to Jindal Steel and Power Limited and Monnet Ispat and Energy Limited," the Coal Ministry said in a letter dated December 17 to both the firms.

It said the companies will not be eligible for allocation of any coal block in lieu of the deallocated block.

Reacting to the development, Monnet group Sr Vice President (Marketing and Corporate Affairs) Amitabh S Mudgal said: "It is ironic that development time given for a mine is far, far away from the ground reality.

"We will go to the court and in the process the prime focus of developing the block will get diverted resulting in further delays in augmenting coal production."

JSPL spokesperson said: "Both the companies have made all possible efforts to start coal mining in Urtan coal block... The coal block has been de-allocated despite best efforts made by our companies."

The ministry has further said: "Order regarding deduction and encashment of proportionate BG (Bank Guarantee) linked to the milestones set for development of the block as per the allocation letter would be issued separately after receipt of calculation of amount from the office of coal controller."

The decision was taken after the inter-ministerial group's (IMG) recommendation for deallocation of block.

"Taking into account the facts...EC (Environment Clearance), land acquisition, grant of previous approval of mining lease are pending, IMG recommends de-allocation of coal blocks," the ministry said.

The coal block was allocated to both the firms in 2009 to meet the requirement of their sponge iron plants.

The government had formed the IMG last year to review the progress of coal blocks allocated to firms for captive use and recommend action, including de-allocation for delays in development of mines.

The panel under the chairmanship of Additional Secretary in the Coal Ministry comprises members from other ministries, including steel and power.

CENTRE TAKES BACK 10 COAL BLOCKS FROM FIRMS LIKE JINDAL STEEL, TATAS, ADANI

NEW DELHI: The government has cancelled 10 coal blocks allocated to various firms, including Jindal Steel and Power, Tatas and Adani Power, and will de-allocate another 21 soon, official sources said. "We have already issued letters for de-allocation of 10 blocks on the basis of recommendations of the Inter-Ministerial Group. More letters will be issued in the coming days," a government official said. 

Blocks allocated to the coal to liquid (CTL) projects of JSPL and Strategic Energy Technology Systems Private Limited (SETSPL), a JV between a consortium of Tata companies and Sasol of South Africa have been cancelled. A spokesman for SETSPL said the company had done what it could and was waiting for a prospecting licence, which is in the state's realm. Aspokesperson for JSPL said the firm had not received the de-allocation letter, but termed the decision "completely unwarranted". 

The JSPL spokesperson said the slow progress was due to delays on part of the central and state governments. "The coal ministry took 18 months to decide the boundary of the coal block and secondly, the state government, over the past three years, has not even granted the prospecting licence." The spokesperson said the company will challenge the decision in court. "We have invested Rs 778.900 millions as on December 31 on CTL project and on development of Ramchandi Coal Block." 

The company said the project, when fully commissioned, would have contributed to the country's fuel security besides benefitting the state and central exchequers. "This project had the potential of providing gainful employment to more than 30,000 people of Odisha," the JSPL spokesperson said.

Other companies whose blocks have been cancelled include AES Chhattisgarh, Bankura DRI Mining Manufacturers, Mideast Integrated Steel and Rungta Mines. A block awarded to a consortium of Ramswarup Lohh Udyog, Adhunik Corp, Uttam Galva Steels, Howrah Gases, Vikash Metals and Power and ACC has also been cancelled as has another block allocated to Rungta Mines; OCL India and Ocean Ispat (Radhikapur West). 

The cancellations are in the wake of allegations that the government granted a windfall to private firms by giving away coal blocks in an arbitrary manner to companies, some of which have not made efforts to develop the blocks or have not been granted clearances. Adani Power's Lohara West and Lohara Extension blocks have also been cancelled, but a spokesman for the company said these blocks were denied green nod as they fell in a wildlife corridor and that Adani Power.

The blocks have been cancelled on the basis of a review of 61 mines that had not achieved various milestones. The review was conducted by an inter-ministerial panel in the context of a statement by the attorney-general to the Supreme Court, which is hearing a petition on allocation of coal blocks. The government was considering cancelling blocks allocated post-2005 after the top court asked why such action could not be taken as the government had already cancelled 40 blocks.
