Comments : |
Subject is a part of “Essar Group”. It is an established company having moderate track record. The company possesses a weak financial profile marked by consecutive
losses which has further deteriorated the position of reserves during 2013. The rating take into consideration the liquidity pressures faced due
to extraneous challenges impacting in running of steel plant. However, the
infusion of funds from the part of promoters has slightly eased the liquidity
position and in turn has nurtured the gradual improvement in its ongoing
financing exercise. Trade relations are fair. Business is active. Payment terms are
reported as slow. In view of support from its group company, the subject can be
considered for business dealings with great caution. |

NATURE OF OPERATION:
Subject owns and operates an integrated steel manufacturing unit for manufacturing
of fiat rolled products at Hazira - District Surat, a Precoated facility at Pune, a Beneficiation Plant at Kirandul,
Slurry Pipeline, Peptization Plant at Vizag and at Paradeep. The
Company is also in the process of setting up a Beneficiation Plant at Dabuna (Odisha) and another Peptization Plant at Paradeep.
The Company also operates Processing and Distribution centres,
Hypermarts and Express Marts at various locations
across India.
OPERATIONS:
Year 2012 was a gloomy year
for world economy as the recessionary trends continued globally. With Eurozone crisis and China slowdown, industries observed
much weaker growth. Indian steel industry took a major hit due to a slower global and ban on iron ore mining in Karnataka as well as Coal scam issues.
Post expansion to 10 MTPA Steel Complex, your Company become the largest single location fiat steel producer in the country and the fourth largest such producer globally. With Blast Furnace and Corex joining the previous DRI (Direct Reduced Iron) technology, your company has now greater flexibility in usage of raw materials. Additionally, the by-product gases generated by these two new units can suitably replace natural gas at several places in your integrated steel complex, thereby reducing dependence on expensive natural gas sources from external providers. Your Company is now able to offer the entire range of fiat products - from thin strips to pipes as well as cold rolled and coated products.
GLOBAL OVERVIEW:
FY 2013 remained a sluggish year for the global steel industry. Overall,
it grew by a mere 0.72% during 2012 as per the latest World Steel Association
estimates -total crude steel production in 2012 was 1,547 million MT vis-a-vis 1,536 million MT in 2011.
Country-wise performance largely reflected disparities linked to
macro-economic environment and operating dynamics in respective economies.
China continued to maintain its dominance with a 46.3% share in total crude
steel production exhibiting a 2.1% growth over 2011 – linked mainly to domestic
demand. Japanese (2nd largest producer) steel output contracted by 0.4% despite
heavy support for exports from a devalued currency. United States, India and
Russia - the other top producers - grew by 2.7%, 5.6% and 2.2% respectively in
terms of crude steel production. Economic recession in Europe implied
contraction in local steel demand. There were scattered opportunities in other
geographies.
Capacity utilization rates remained below 80% -exhibiting a serious
challenge facing the industry. Correction in prices of primary raw materials -
i.e., Iron Ore and Coking Coal - lagged the ability of the industry to sustain
revenue realization. This created margin pressure and compounded financial
problems for the steel industry. Consequently, capacity outages, particularly
in Europe, became inevitable due to prevailing lackluster demand and high
operating cost. Overall, industry performance hinged upon the ability of
producers to extend competitive prices to customers often sub-optimal to
operating cost.
The outlook for FY 2014 is even more difficult than FY2013. Global steel
production is expected to remain fiat to moderate growth. China is expected to
maintain its momentum in steel production - a core sector offering large-scale
employment. All other regions of the world are expected to be saddled with
over-capacity and are expected to curtail production in order to remain
market-relevant. Global steel consumption is likely to remain fiat to decline
as Fixed Asset Investment and steel intensity decline during the FY 2014.
DOMESTIC OVERVIEW:
India's overall steel consumption grew by only 3.2% in 2012 to around 72 million MT due to subdued demand from across consuming sectors like infrastructure and construction. The domestic crude steel production grew by 5.6% in 2012 to 78 million MT.
Many producers in India commissioned additional capacity during the
year. Further capacity addition, in both public as well as private sector, is
planned during FY2014 due to anticipated future demand, particularly
considering that India's per capita consumption low. India's per capita steel
consumption is still too low (59 kg compared to 1157 kg in South Korea, 507 kg
in Japan, 460 kg in China and 235 kg in the North America).
However, in the short to medium term, this will lead to excess domestic
capacity and is likely to create additional margin pressure for the Indian
steel industry already saddled with high costs and cheap imports especially
from Japan and South Korea, which enjoy a preferential import duty.

ESSAR STEEL MINNESOTA
DENIES REPORTS THAT IT WILL BE SOLD
June 02, 2014
Hibbing, MN - 2nd June 2014: Essar Steel Minnesota LLC (“ESML”) categorically denies that Essar Global Fund Limited (“EGFL”), ESML’s ultimate shareholder, is considering selling the business, contrary to recent media reports.
ESML’s President and CEO, Madhu
Vuppuluri, commented:
“We are very pleased to have closed $450 million of bond financing for ESML in the last few weeks. At this significant milestone we look forward to completing ESML’s world class 7 million tonnes per annum fully-integrated pellet production facility and to an exciting future for ESML.
“ESML is a world class asset that we believe will be one of the lowest cash cost producers of iron ore pellets in North America. ESML will add 7 million tonnes per annumof pellet producing capacity to EGFL’s existing 20 million tonnes per annum of pellet producing capacity operating and under development in India. Accordingly, it is a core investment in the EGFL portfolio.”

ESSAR STEEL AIMS TO
TURN PROFITABLE BY YEAR-END
Monday, 28 April
2014
Debt-laden Essar Steel is looking to turn profitable at net level in the current fiscal by doubling capacity utilisation of its 10 million tonne Hazira plant, reducing interest costs and focusing on higher margin sale of value-added products and commissioning of its slurry pipeline.
"We are targeting to double production as compared with the last fiscal. Added to it two vital things are in place -- one is the slurry pipeline in Odisha coming onstream next month and Vizag slurry pipeline, which is already in operation. That is a big booster. We are looking to get profitable at net level," Dilip Oommen, CEO and MD of Essar Steel, told dna. The 255-km long slurry pipeline, which will connect the company's beneficiation plant at Dabuna to the pellet plant at Paradip, Odisha, has been delayed by almost two years. "Apart from reducing freight cost, the slurry pipeline will also improve the availability of material for pelletisation, which in turn helps the downstream. We expect to have more than enough of pellets at a very competitive price. If there is an excess availability of pellets it will be sold in the market as well," Oomen said.
The company's operational cost is likely to come down with the commencement of slurry pipeline. Apart from this, it now has access to coal-based power and national grid, which will also bring down its power cost. And last, fall in interest cost on dollarisation of debt; all these three factors would help the company to turn profitable this fiscal, he said. Last two fiscals have been extremely tough for the Ruias-owned company as its debt ballooned to more than Rs 310000.000 Millions in last fiscal. The company has been since then trying to turn around operations through various measures, including dollarisation of debt.
Mahadev Iyer, director-finance and chief financial officer of Essar Steel, said the company at present has a total debt of Rs 350000.000 Millions, which includes Rs 290000.000 Millions long-term borrowings and Rs 60000.000 Millions working capital. The company has so far dollarised (which essentially means conversion of rupee debt into dollar debt) $1 billion worth of loans, while it plans to complete the process by dollarising the remaining $2 billion by June. In fiscal 2013, the company's interest cost had swelled to Rs 29550.000 Millions.
Through dollarisation, Essar Steel has been able to save Rs 4000.000 Millions of interest in fiscal 2014, and it expects to save Rs 8000.000 Millions in fiscal 2015, Iyer said. During 2012-13, Essar Steel posted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of Rs 18220.000 Millions, according to its annual report. But it incurred a net loss of Rs 27850.000 Millions on a total income of Rs 191900.000 Millions. The unlisted company is yet to report earnings for the last fiscal.
The Hazira steel plant, which mainly produces flat products, has been operating at an average 40% capacity in fiscal 2014 following cash crunch, short supply of raw material and overall slump in steel demand within the country. The company, however, hopes to double capacity utilisation in current fiscal and produce around 7 mt of steel. India's steel consumption grew by just 0.6% in 2013-14 fiscal, its lowest in four years, to 73.93 mt. Oommen expects some revival in steel demand post elections.
"We have a wide range of products and our quality is very much appreciated and commands premium today, so pushing products into the market is not a problem. Our base quality (basic steel like hot-rolled coil) is very good but we are trying to maximise our niche or specialised steel production so that our base grades in the market are minimised." "We have primarily three avenues; OEMs, retail and exports, so it is not one market where we push all the quantity. We are port based, so exports to many countries work out cheaper than domestic freight also," he said.
ESSAR STEEL BAGS AN
ORDER TO SUPPLY 1.2 LAKH TONNES OF STEEL PIPES TO GUJARAT GOVERNMENT'S SAUNI
PROJECT
June 16, 2014
Essar Steel today announced that it has bagged an order for the supply of pipes for one of the most prestigious projects of the Gujarat government, for water management of the Saurashtra Narmada Avtaran Irrigation (SAUNI) Yojana. Under this programme, the water of Narmada river will be distributed to 115 reservoirs across seven districts of Saurashtra through four linked pipelines benefitting 10,22,589 acres. This project is estimated to cost Rs108000.000 Millions.
Of the 5.86 lakh tonnes of pipes required for the project, Essar Steel will supply 1.2 lakh tonnes of HSAW (Helical Submerged Arc Welding) pipes, which are 12 metres long and 120 inches in diameter. The order will be executed over a period of one year. Essar Steel has an annual production capacity of 2.75 lakh tonnes of HSAW pipes.
Commenting on the recent order, Mr Harjit S Bedi, CEO, Essar Pipe Mill said, “We are very happy to be associated with the SAUNI project of the Gujarat Government. It is clearly a reflection of Essar Steel’s integrated capability to produce world-class pipes in India. We have an excellent track record in supplying water pipes to many projects in India.”
Essar Steel’s pipe mill has an annual production capacity of 0.6 million tonnes of which 3.25 lakh tonnes is LSAW pipes and 2.75 lakh tonnes is HSAW pipes. The plant is backed by a steel plant ensuring quality steel for making pipes.
About Essar Steel
Essar Steel India is one of India’s leading integrated steel producers with an annual production capacity of 10 million tonnes. The state-of-the-art facilities comprise iron ore beneficiation, pellet making, iron making, steel making, and downstream facilities, including a cold rolling mill, a galvanising and pre-coated facility, a steel-processing facility, an extra-wide plate mill and a pipe mill.
Essar Steel uses information technology extensively for its operations to ensure consistent quality of its products. It produces over 300 grades of steel conforming to quality standards of international certification agencies like API, ABS, NACE, Lloyd’s Register to name a few. The products cater to the requirements of a wide cross section of industries, many of which are import substitute products.
Essar Hypermart, a pioneering initiative of Essar Steel, caters to the requirements of the SME segment, which normally does not have access to mill material directly.
Sustainability has been given due importance and the company is on course to becoming a zero-waste company.
