INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The services sector, the largest contributor to India’s GDP, contracted for the sixth consecutive month in December, as orders dipped. However, hiring has risen.  Direct tax collections rose 12.3 % during the April – December period of the current financial year.  The government has decided to retain 100 per cent foreign direct investment in both greenfield (new) and brown field (existing) pharmaceutical companies, despite concerns over genetic drugs going out of production, if multi-national companies take over domestic ones. In M&A deals, a non compete clause would not be allowed, except in special circumstances. The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion plans to release the next edition of its consolidated foreign direct investment policy document on March 31, incorporating changes made in the past year. DIPP compiles all policies related to India’s FDI regime into a single document to make it easy for investors to understand. 185 million estimated number of mobile internet users in India by June 2014, according to a report by the Internet & Mobile Association of India and IMRB International.  India had 110 million mobile internet users with 25 million in rural areas. $3.77 tn estimated global IT spending in 2014, according to research firm Gartner Inc. The growth forecast for this year is cut to 3.1 %from the earlier estimate of 3.5 %. The spending growth forecast for telecom services – a segment that accounts for more than 40 % at total IT spending – from 1.9 per cent to 1.2 per cent is the main reason for this overall IT cut. A Reserve Bank of India committee has recommended setting up a special category of lenders who would cater to small businesses and households, to expand the number of customers with access to banking services. These banks would focus onproviding payment services and deposit products.  Indian banks want the free use of automated teller machines to be capped at five transactions in a month including that of the bank in which the account is active. This follows state government order to banks to install security guards at ATM booths after a woman banker was assaulted in Bangalore. The government is likely to present a vote on Account in mid-February. The annual Economic Survey will be tabled later in Parliament along with the full Budget. A full Budget for 2014/15 is likely to be present in July by the new government formed after the General Election. The government will soon launch an internet spy system, called Netra, to detect malafide messages. Security agency will deploy the system to capture dubious voice traffic on applications such as Skype and Google Talk, as well as tweeters.

SCHEME OF AMALGAMATION:

 

The Directors in their meeting held on September 1, 2012, have considered and approved a ‘Composite Scheme of Arrangement and Amalgamation’ under Sections 391-394 of the Companies Act, 1956 (the “Scheme”) amongst the Company, JSW ISPAT Steel Limited (“JSW ISPAT”), JSW Building Systems Limited (“JSW Building”), JSW Steel Coated Products Limited (“JSW Steel Coated”) (formerly known as Maharashtra Sponge Iron Limited.) and their respective shareholders and creditors relating to the following matters (to be effected in the sequence set forth herein below), with 1 July 2012 being the appointed date:

 

(a)     Transfer of the ‘Kalmeshwar’ undertaking of JSW ISPAT to JSW Steel Coated (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company).

 

(b)     Transfer of the ‘Vasind’ and ‘Tarapur’ undertaking of the Company to JSW Steel Coated.

 

(c)     Amalgamation of JSW Building (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) with the Company.

 

(d)     Amalgamation of Residual JSW ISPAT with the Company, pursuant to which the shareholders of JSW ISPAT will be entitled to shares of the Company as under:

 

(i)          The equity shareholders of JSW ISPAT will be entitled to 1 (One) fully paid-up equity share of face value Rs. 10/- (Rupees Ten Only) each of the Company for every 72 (Seventy Two) fully paid up equity shares of Rs. 10/- (Rupees Ten Only) each of JSW ISPAT held by them (“Share Exchange Ratio”); and

 

(ii)        The preference shareholders of JSW ISPAT will be entitled to 1 (One) fully paid up non-convertible cumulative redeemable preference share of face value Rs. 10/- (Rupees Ten Only) each of the Company for every 1 (One) fully paid up non-convertible cumulative redeemable preference share of face value Rs. 10/- (Rupees Ten Only) each of JSW ISPAT held by them.

 

following implementation of the Scheme and the issue of shares as above, the Company’s aggregate equity capital would stand increased from Rs. 2231.172 Millions to Rs. 2417.220 Millions consisting of 241.722 Millions equity shares of Rs. 10 each, subject to minor changes, if any, upon rounding off of fractional entitlements. Besides, the Company’s aggregate preference capital would stand increased from Rs. 2790.349 Millions to Rs. 7644.495 Millions comprising of 279.034 Millions - 10% cumulative redeemable preference shares of Rs. 10/- each and 485.414 Millions - 0.01% non-convertible cumulative redeemable preference shares of Rs. 10/- each, subject to minor changes, if any, upon rounding off of fractional entitlements.

Accordingly, the accounting treatment laid out in the Scheme and consequential adjustments that would arise will be dealt with by the Company in the financial statements, once the Scheme is implemented.

 

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:

 

STANDALONE RESULTS:

 

The Company produced 8.52 million tonnes of crude steel in FY 2012-13, up 15% over the previous year. Its steel sales grew to 8.87 million tonnes, increased by 14% year on year. The Company took several initiatives during the last financial year viz; 2nd phase of Beneficiation plant, augmented in-bound and out-bound logistics infrastructure to enhance flexibility in utilization of inputs and dispatch of finished products, commissioning of 4th Stove of BF 3 and enhanced product portfolio by completing 2nd phase of HSM II, increased capacities of Colour coated products at Vasind and Tarapur Works and also achieved increased sales volumes through its retail outlets ‘JSW Shoppe’. These initiatives helped in achieving impressive growth of volume production and sales.

 

The Gross Turnover and Net Turnover for the year was Rs. 387630.000 Millions and Rs. 353880.000 Millions respectively, showed a growth of 12% and 10% respectively. The Operating EBITDA was Rs. 63090.000 Millions, showed a growth of 12% with an improvement in EBIDTA margins to 17.8%. The net profit after tax was Rs. 18010.000 Millions showing a growth of 11%, after considering exceptional loss of Rs. 3670.000 Millions, due to the significant movement and volatility in the value of the rupee against US dollar. The net worth of the Company increased to Rs. 199370.000 Millions as on March 31, 2013, from Rs. 184970.000 Millions as on March 31, 2012. The Company’s net debt gearing was at 0.82 (compared to 0.69, as on March 31, 2012) and net debt to EBIDTA was at 2.59 (compared to 2.27, as on March 31, 2012).

 

 

PROSPECTS:

 

Indian economy witnessed one of its most challenging times during FY’13 with high inflation, elevated interest rates, low industrial production, depreciating Indian Rupee which adversely affected its external trade resulting in skewed trade and fiscal deficits and subdued economic growth estimated at 5%. Country’s under performance was partly due to the muted and uneven Global economic recovery in 2012 with World GDP slowing down to 3.2%.

 

Outlook for Global economy is expected to progressively improve with more accommodative monetary policies, improving fiscal stability and assuming absence of any adverse events resulting in a gradual restoration of confidence during 2013 through 2014. In accordance, IMF has projected World GDP to grow at 3.3% during 2013 and increasing to 4% in 2014. Positive influence of Global economy coupled with gaining prospects for proactive Reformatory Policy measures is expected to help Indian economy recover with an estimated growth of 6-6.5% during FY’14. Current account deficit is expected to witness a further reduction under a modest recovery of exports, improved inflows and remittances assuming stability in Oil / Gold import basket.

 

Global Steel sector witnessed a destocking during C.Y. 2012 influenced by growing economic uncertainties coupled with a soft lending for Chinese economy – resulting in a marginal growth of 1.2% each for Global steel production as well as demand. During FY’13, Indian crude steel capacity increased by production increased by 5.4% to 78 million tonnes while domestic demand saw a growth of 3.3% to 73 million tonne. The demand was majorly affected by underperforming investment growing @ 1.7%, depressed industrial growth at 1%, decelerating auto production growing at 2% and Rupee witnessing a sharp depreciation of 14% putting further pressure on margins.

 

World steel demand is projected to witness an increment of 41 million tonnes moderately up by 2.9% to 1454 million tonnes in C.Y. 2013 with China expected to grow by 3.5% to 669 million tonnes – contributing 46% to World steel demand. However, the large “Effective Surplus” capacity of approximately 350 million tonne coupled with almost stagnant domestic demand projected for major exporting economies including Japan, Korea, Russia and Ukraine remains a major challenge for a sustainable growth of Global steel industry.

 

In expectation of a normal monsoon, the growing income of farm sector is expected to translate into rising consumption. Further, accelerated approach to reformatory policy initiatives with reducing subsidies, expanding FDI limits in Multiple-brand retail, Insurance, Banking etc., proactive role of Cabinet Committee for Investment for timely clearances of projects coupled with improving industrial production and growing focus on Infrastructure development is expected to witness a more sustainable economic development and growth with a moderate inflation and declining deficits. At the back of a modest economic recovery Indian Steel industry remains optimistically cautious with demand expected to complement the country’s economic performance in FY’14. However, surging imports at incentivized duty rates under the Free Trade Agreements with Korea and Japan coupled with depreciating Indian Rupee remain major challenges for the Indian steel industry.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL ECONOMY

 

·         The world witnessed a major economic slowdown in 2012 due to the uncertainties of fiscal imbalance in the AME’s coupled with reduced trade and investments.

 

·         Signs of improvement in USA on account of falling unemployment, growing savings and investments.

 

·         The Chinese economy witnessed a gradual cooling of investments and industrial growth which were substituted by increasing consumer spending.

 

·         Frequent Government stimulus and the depreciating yen along with the fiscal consolidation in the EU are positive signs for the global economy.

 

·         Lower commodity prices, falling inflation and abundant liquidity are favourable for the EMEs.

 

·         Global trade volumes are projected to increase from 2.5% in 2012 to 3.6% in 2013.

 

·         Global GDP recovery is projected at 3.3% in 2013 as against 3.2% in 2012.

 

·         Long term challenges – Fiscal Balancing for AME’s coupled with improved monetary measures in part of EMEs.

 

The global economy continues to face significant uncertainties. Anaemic rates of economic growth in the developed world, coupled with slowdown in developing countries, pose challenges to both policymakers and companies. Data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) shows that global GDP expanded at 3.2% in 2012, with average growth rates of 1.3% and 5.1% in advanced and developing economies, respectively. Global inflation was 3.9% in 2012 [Source: The World Bank].

 

In 2012, European countries, such as France, Italy Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain, remained afflicted with high levels of public debt and rising youth unemployment. Political uncertainty surrounding the implementation of austerity measures, such as debt restructuring and budgetary tightening, was opposed severely by the citizens of these countries. Across the Atlantic, the US witnessed slow economic recovery and a gradual creation of more private sector jobs. Japan witnessed economic contraction for two consecutive quarters. The nation recovered gradually from the devastating tsunami in the previous year, which disrupted manufacturing supply-chains. However, the rising yen, a diplomatic row with China and subdued global demand affected exports, which are crucial for the nation’s economic stability.  Major developing countries, the beacons of rising prosperity over the past few years, slowed down as well. Economic growth in China, India, Brazil and South Korea decelerated due to a combination of domestic policies, which hampered capital formation, and sluggish export demand. Despite the slowdown, emerging markets expanded at a rate significantly higher than the developed countries. This showed that the shift of economic power to emerging markets is well and truly underway.

 

INDIAN ECONOMY

 

·         High inflation in addition to the global economic slowdown were the major factors resulting in the monetary and fiscal imbalance adversely impacting economic growth in FY 2012-13 estimated at 5%.

 

·         Capital accumulated in projects as past investment has failed to yield commensurate output depressing economic growth.

 

·         Declining inflation combined with improving liquidity and reducing benchmark rates are expected to gradually improve domestic economic activities providing impetus to industrial production, investments and consumer expenditure.

 

·         The Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council has projected the GDP to grow at 6.4% during FY 2013-14. Fiscal deficit is expected to be maintained at 4.8%, Current Account Deficit (CAD) at 4.7% and inflation at 6%.

 

·         Reformative measures in the form of reducing fuel subsidies with Direct Cash Transfer of subsidies, FDI in retail and growing rural income through MGNREGA will also aid economic growth.

 

·         An improved monsoon with growing rural income could provide the necessary support to improve economic prospects.

 

Headwinds in developed nations and domestic supply bottlenecks affected India’s economic growth in FY 2012-13. Moreover, RBI’s monetary tightening, especially the successive hikes in repo rate, increased the cost of capital and lowered business investment. As a result, the Indian economic output growth was estimated at 5% in FY 2012-13, compared to 6.2% in the previous fiscal year.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

GLOBAL ECONOMY

 

The global economic outlook continues to be weak with tight liquidity, contracting demand, declining trade and reducing investments. World witness bold and challenging fiscal measures in terms of monetary easing and stimulus measures to secure and stimulate economic recovery.

 

International Monetary Fund projects a modest economic recovery in 2013 with world GDP expected to grow at 3.3%, an increase from 3.2% in 2012. The US economy is expected to adopt a more moderate fiscal consolidation than envisaged and is projected to sustain its GDP growth at 1.9% in 2013 as against 2.2% estimated for 2012. European economic growth is projected to continue to contract by 0.3% in 2013 after witnessing an estimated economic deceleration of 0.6% in 2012. Japan is expected to overcome its recession stimulated by monetary-easing with GDP growth for 2013 projected with a downside risk at 1.6% visà-vis 2% estimated for 2012.

 

China’s economic growth softened in 2012 with GDP growth at 7.8%, impacted by the slowing down of Investment, industrial growth and exports on one hand and domestic consumption growing only moderately, on the other Nonetheless, China continues to remain the major global economic engine and is slated to retain economic growth momentum, projected to grow at 8.0% in 2013. Global steel outlook – growth amidst uncertainties  Global steel demand is expected to witness a moderate improvement vis-à-vis 2012 led by low inventory levels duly supported by improving economic performance across geographies. Raw material prices are slated to remain less volatile as compared to FY 2012-13. In view of the above, the World Steel Association has projected a global steel demand growth at 2.9% with China at 3.5% for CY 2013.

 

However, the world is reeling under the pressure of large surplus capacity which will remain a serious cause of concern, especially in times of subdued global demand.

 

 

INDIAN ECONOMY

 

The Indian economy is expected to witness a moderate recovery in the medium term on account of ongoing reformatory measures, fiscal consolidation, improved prospects of liquidity which are envisaged to improve industrial and manufacturing growth duly supported by reducing inflation.

 

In accordance, economic growth is projected to increase by around 6.4% in FY 2013-14 as per the projection given by the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council while the Hon’ble Finance Minister has projected the same at 6.1% to 6.7% in the Union Budget speech for FY 2013-14.

 

 

INDIAN STEEL OUTLOOK

 

Indian steel demand is expected to boost by Infrastructure & Construction development, sustained by industrial, manufacturing and capital goods and be stimulated by the automotive and consumer durable sectors.

JSW Steel, along with Tata Steel, Essar Steel, JSPL, Bhushan Steel and Aditya Birla Group firm Essel Mining, is in the fray to acquire assets of Stemcor, which is looking to hive off its Indian assets.

JSW STEEL TO HIKE PRICE BY 4-6% AS COAL GETS COSTLIER

 

Following a steep hike in raw material cost, (especially coal) JSW Steel has decided to raise steel price by 4-6 percent from September 1, reports CNBC-TV18. Imported coal price has moved up over 8 percent to USD 136/tonne and since the rupee depreciated around 9 percent during the June quarter, the firm reported forex loss of Rs 850 crore.

 

Meanwhile, brokerages don’t seem bullish on steel sector, as not only rupee, but weak demand from infrastructure segment will continue to haunt steel makers throughout FY14.

 

For instance, a recent report by Bank of America Merill Lynch stated that amid bleak economic environment, domestic steel outlook remains weak with lesser possibility of turnaround in the current financial year. The firm also pointed out that many delayed steel projects are likely to be commissioned during the year leading to overcapacity.

 

Ernst and Young had in its June report said that global steel demand is unlikely to improve significantly in 2013 and sluggish demand combined with factors such as excess steelmaking capacity will challenge the sustainability of high-cost manufacturers.

 

India Ratings and Research has revised its outlook on Indian steel producers to ‘negative’ from ‘stable’ for H2FY13. “The negative outlook is in view of the higher-than-expected deterioration in the financial and liquidity profiles of rated issuers. The continuous weak macro-economic environment in India has resulted in muted demand for steel products from the end-user industries,” the credit rating agency said.

 

Steel makers are going through rough whether as is evident from the 13-share metals index falling over 30 percent year-to-date, compared to only 3 percent fall in Sensex

 

 

NEW STEEL IMPORT NORMS TO DENT CAPACITY USAGE: EXPERTS

 

The recent government notification to ease steel import norms will not only increase inward shipment of the metal, but also add to woes of domestic firms battling demand slowdown, industry experts said today. The industry called for an review of the decision, saying the quality of domestic steel is of global standards.

"The government's latest move will further increase import of steel, resulting in idling of local production capacity, further adding to the woes of ballooning current account deficit," JSW Steel   Joint MD, and Group Chief Financial Officer Seshagiri Rao told PTI in an email.

 

"The long-term implication is dangerous, as the domestic industry is facing demand slowdown and domestic surplus will further go up," he added. In its August 7 order, the government had exempted steel and steel products imported for mega industrial  projects with investment over Rs 10000.000 Millions from the quality control regulation known as the 'Steel and steel products (quality control) second order of 2012'.

 

The government's move has caused consternation within domestic steel companies about import of a lot of inferior quality steel products into the country. "The main worry is that apart from plates, a lot of plain-vanilla low-grade structural steel like rebars and TMT bars will also get into the country. It will strike at the very heart of our steel industry where currently a lot of idle capacity exists. The industry needs a curb on imports to stop dumping," Rao added.

 

Essar Steel India Chief Commercial Officer H Shivramkrishnan said, "The steel industry is already hit from all sides, including high input cost, cheap FTA imports, proposed reduction in export duty on iron ore and the weakening domestic demand.

 

"The new rule has the potential to jeopardise the domestic steel industry due to threat of cheap imports from countries like Ukraine and China and would add to the woes of the already struggling industry besides adding to the high CAD". He also termed the government move as surprising and retrograde.

 

 

JSW, JFE SIGN AGREEMENT TO PRODUCE ELECTRICAL STEEL

 

JSW Steel today said it has inked an agreement with JFE Steel Corporation of Japan to produce electrical steel sheets used mainly in the power sector. The two companies already have an alliance for making steel meant for the auto sector.

 

JFE Steel Holdings, the parent company of JFE Steel Corporation, has 15 per cent stake in Sajjan Jindal-led JSW Steel, as on September-end 2012. "...a joint agreement (has been) signed where JFE will provide technology for production of non-oriented electrical steel sheets (CRNGO) at the JSW's Vijayanagar plant in Karnataka," the domestic steel maker said in a statement.

 

However, JSW Steel did not give details of the terms of the agreement. "By leveraging JFE Steel's well-established manufacturing technology for electrical steel, shall produce CRNGO grade electrical steel and supply to its customers, including local companies as well as Japanese, European and US-affiliated companies doing business in India," JSW Steel said.

 

India does not have the technology to produce electrical steel sheet products and entirely depend on imports, which according to an industry source, could be valued at around Rs 130000.000 Millionse each year. "JSW Steel plans to start up its new annealing and coating line for electrical steel sheets in latter half of 2014. The initial annual output is projected to be 200,000 tonnes, which will be increased to 0.6 million tonnes per year in phases," it said.

 

The company would also take sight on the production of Cold Rolled Grain Oriented (CRGO) grade in future, the release said, adding the company envisages becoming the largest electrical steel producer in the country. Shares of JSW Steel were last trading at Rs 766.9 apiece, up 2.95 per cent on the BSE.
