Comments :

Subject was incorporated in the year 1979 and is a part of the diversified OP Jindal group which is one of India’s key steel producers and has a sizeable presence in power generation and mining.

 

For the financial year ended 2017 revenue of the company has been increased by 23.47% but it has incurred loss from its operations during the year under a review.

 

Rating takes into consideration the delays in the debt servicing by the company. The delays was largely attributable to stretched liquidity position of the company following the delays in its debt refinancing plans and materialization of its investment plans with weak cash flows from operations.

 

The company’s operational cash flows have deteriorated sharply following the steel fall in realizations which coupled with continued high debt servicing obligation has affected the liquidity position of the company.

 

Rating further constrained by the cyclicality inherent in the steel industry and regulatory risks related to the mining sector.

 

Payment terms are slow and delayed.

 

In view of aforesaid the company can be considered for business dealings on safe and secured trade terms and conditions.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Economic Growth

 

Global economic outlook

 

World economic growth is projected to rise from 3.1% in 2016 to 3.5% in 2017 and 3.6% in 2018 with buoyant financial markets and a long-awaited cyclical recovery in manufacturing and trade under way. But binding structural impediments continue to hold back a stronger recovery and the balance of risks remains tilted to the downside especially over the medium term.

 

United States of America: The US economy grew once firms had more clarity about the future demand and inventories started contributing positively to growth. It is expected to grow consistently due to a resilient household consumption and a surge in capital outlays supported by upbeat business sentiment. The onus of growth lies in the potential policy shifts in the country which will drive the strength of the US dollar as well.

 

United Kingdom: Despite Brexit the United Kingdom showed signs of growth due to an unaffected spend in the country. However unemployment is a huge challenge which the country continues to face. The manufacturing sector continued to expand at a reduced rate as British firms were impacted due to the lower exchange rate on exports.

 

Euro zone: Germany and Spain grew as a result of strong domestic demand. A robust domestic demand has aided recovery in the second half of 2016. An improving labour market high confidence levels and moderating monetary policy are acting as tailwinds for the domestic economies. However rising inflation remains a concern for customer spending.

 

Emerging market and Developing Economies (EMDEs): There was an uneven growth across emerging market and developing economies. China’s growth was stronger due to a continued policy support whereas India was slightly impacted due to the demonetisation drive. Brazil was impacted due to a recession and various geopolitical factors affected the Middle East and Turkey. The EMDEs are projected to grow by 4.5% in 2017.

 

 

Indian economy

 

The Indian economy grew at a GDP of 7.1% in FY 2016-17 despite a humble global growth. Foreign direct investments (FDIs) continued to pour in despite global uncertainties. India witnessed a reduction in inflation and interest rates fiscal stability and an uneven but decent monsoon. The Government rolled out several bold reforms to enable the country reach its true potential and a balance inflation and an improvement in both its current and fiscal deficits.

 

  • Fiscal Deficit of India: In 2016-17 India’s debt-to-GDP ratio for the
  • Central Government was 49.4% and fiscal deficit at 3.5% of GDP
  • Current Account Deficit (as % of GDP): 0.9% in FY 2016-17 (expected)
  • Inflation Rate: CPI inflation has fallen to 3.0% in April 2017 from 3.81% in March 2017
  • Repo rate: RBI keeps Repo Rate unchanged at 6.25% in the last monetary policy review in April 2017

 

Demonetisation

 

The Government of India announced demonetisation of high value currency in Q3 of FY 2016-17 to curb corruption circulation of fake currency and black money. Besides the process strove to increase flow of financial savings into the banking system. It had a short-term impact on the economy’s growth. Retail trade was somewhat affected in the months of November and December. Demand started to ease from January onwards. In the longer run demonetisation is expected to have a positive impact on the GDP growth with greater tax obedience digitalisation and formal channelling of the savings system.

 

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

 

The announcement of a Goods and Service Tax (GST) also had a positive impact on the Indian economy. The policy has been rolled out on 1st July 2017 with a view to reinforce the indirect taxation system increase transparency and consolidation of disintegrated Indian market.

 

Make in India

 

Manufacturing sector is the core driver of economic growth for any country and the Government has shown strong intent to make India a global manufacturing hub through the Make in India initiative launched in 2014. The initiative aims to build best-in-class manufacturing infrastructure by enabling investments boosting innovation encouraging skill development and strengthening intellectual property protection. India is expected to become the fifth largest manufacturing country in the world by the end of year 2020.

 

Wholesale Price Index (WPI)

 

The Indian wholesale price index rose 5.6% year-on-year in March 2017 following a 6.55% gain in February and below market estimates of a 5.98% rise. There was a slowdown in manufactured products which offset a faster increase in the cost of food and petrol. However the WPI dropped to 3.85% in April 2017.

 

CPI inflation

 

The average CPI inflation rate in India for FY2016-17 was the lowest at 3.8% since 2012. It was mainly driven by a slowdown in food prices. The controlled inflation rates contributed to a 6% reverse repo rate in April 2017.

 

 

Industrial Production

 

The industrial production of India increased by 2.7% year-on-year in March 2017. The output for manufacturing production grew at a 1.2% compared to 1.4% in February 2017. The industrial output expanded by 5% in FY 2016-17.

 

The Indian crude oil consumption increased to 196.5 million tons in FY 2016-17 as compared to 177.5 million tons in FY 2015-16. The increase was driven by a rising income which encouraged people to buy more passenger cars scooters and three-wheelers. The road transportation sector is also growing rapidly with focus on constructing roads and highways.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The Indian economy holds a bright future led by an increased domestic consumption and greater digitalisation. The implementation of Goods and Service Tax (GST) is likely to spur the GDP to a 7.4% in FY 2017-18. Also Government initiatives such as Digital India Skill India and Make in India are leading the country to a digitalised platform and empowering domestic manufacturing.

 

 

STEEL INDUSTRY

 

Global steel industry

 

The global crude steel production increased 0.8% in CY16 visà- vis the previous year to reach 1628.5 million tonnes (MT). While crude steel production declined in Europe the Americas and Africa it picked up pace in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) the Middle East Asia and Oceania. China India Turkey and Ukraine were the top four countries that witnessed growth in steel production in CY 2016.

 

In CY 2016 global steel production was dictated by uncertainties arising out of geo-political tensions Brexit and

skeptism over monetary policies and structural reforms in developed economies.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Going forward the global steel demand growth for CY 2017 is expected to rise by 0.5%. Weakness in global investment continues to hold back a stronger steel demand recovery. However a better than expected forecast for China and continued growth in emerging economies will help the global steel industry move on a positive trajectory.

 

 

 

 

 

DEVELOPED ECONOMIES

 

The steel demand in developed economies increased by 0.2% in 2016 and is expected to increase by 1.1% in 2017.

 

Demand for steel manufactured in the US has declined owing to a strong dollar which negatively impacts the manufacturing sector. Besides there has been a decline in shale related investments. In Japan demand for steel remained subdued due to structural issues; and appreciation of the Yen post Brexit had a negative impact on it. However Government stimulus implementation of delayed projects and works on Tokyo Olympic facilities encouraged domestic demand for steel in Japan.

 

Despite Brexit demand for steel improved in EU due to a resilient consumption and mild recovery in construction sector. Demand for steel in the UK for 2016 and 2017 is expected to tone down due to the referendum; however long-term effects of Brexit cannot be predicted at the moment. Additionally the refugee crisis poses serious challenges for EU but immediate impact on steel demand appears to be minimal.

 

Emerging Economies

 

The emerging and developing economies (except China) were the primary growth drivers for world steel demand. During 2016 these economies overcame various challenges like geopolitical factors internal national political tensions and others while showing strong signs of growth compared to the developed nations. Among the emerging economies Asia steered the growth drive of steel.

 

Going forward the overall global steel demand is expected to maintain a modest growth momentum in 2017.

 

Indian steel industry

 

Indias crude steel production in FY 2016-17 grew by 8.5% year-on-year to 97.400 million tonnes. While Indias steel sector witnessed an intense internal competition due to increased production the industry had to withstand cheaper steel imports. The Government undertook various initiatives like imposing the Minimum Import Price (MIP) in Feb 2016 on some steel and iron products to curtail unfair steel imports.

 

Moreover the Government levied anti-dumping duties on steel products such as hot rolled sheets and plates among others in FY 2016-17. This was an important step towards safeguarding the industry from excessive steel imports and bolstering the domestic steel production. Despite all trade measures India imported 8 million tonnes of steel by the end of FY17.

 

India’s steel consumption increased by 2.6% year-on-year in FY17. It was expected to pick up pace in the second half of FY 2016-17 owing to several Government measures and reforms. A decent monsoon and the Seventh Pay Commission were expected to drive India’s consumer spend on whitegoods and realty sector thereby creating an upswing in the steel industry. However demonetisation-induced liquidity crunch led to reduced demand in both market segments. Thus the steel industry did not grow as predicted.

 

Going forward India’s steel industry has immense long-term potential for growth despite the challenges. Both private and public-sector steel manufacturers are taking adequate measures to achieve sustainable long-term growth.

 

India became the highest net exporter of steel during FY 2016-17 with an increase of 102% year-on-year (YoY) after a gap of three years. Besides there was a 2.6% increase in the demand for the real consumption and the crude steel production increased by 8.5% vis-à-vis 0.9% in FY 2015-16.

 

Government Initiatives

 

The Government of India initiated several steps to protect the steel industry from the external threats of dumping and uniform trade. Following were the measures taken:

 

 

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Norms

 

Compulsory BIS norms were laid down for the steel industry and production of steel. The norms were also applied to overseas firms which are licensed steel exporters to India. This reform was thoughtfully imposed to maintain consistency and improve the quality of steel to compete with international standards.

 

Annulling Classification

 

The Government removed classification of steelmakers in their projects to avoid any discrimination arising due to classification. Further it served to provide equal opportunity for all steel manufacturers.

 

Anti-dumping Measures

 

India imposed strict anti-dumping duties on China the United States and other countries to protect the interests of domestic steel producers. A Minimum Import Price (MIP) was imposed on certain steel imports which was a key factor in reducing low-priced steel imports to India.

 

The Safeguard duty is another measure by the Government that will eventually replace the MIP.

 

 

Railway Freight Reforms

 

The Government of India has withdrawn the differential railway freight policy for domestic consumption and exports of iron ore and pellets. This reform will help to bolster iron ore exports.

 

Domestic Finished Steel price trend

 

Domestic prices for both hot rolled coil and plate increased between 15% and 19% since April 2016. They reached peak price in January 2017. However there has been a downward trend in the last few months. Additionally price of long steel reached its apex in March and April 2017 thereafter facing a downward trend. Further prices of TMT and wire rod have increased upto 9% since April 2016.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

According to the World Steel Association India is expected to contribute 5.1 million tonnes of the 20 million tonnes global steel demand during CY 2017. Indias Government has been guarding the countrys steel industry with agile policy making creating opportunities for steel producers to grow. Moreover the Union Budget 2017 has created a more conducive environment for the steel industry to flourish. As per the CRISIL report Indias steel industry is slated to grow between 6% and 6.5% CAGR in the short and medium term. The Make in India campaign along with the Government deliver the necessary impetus to the industry.

 

 

RAW MATERIAL SCENARIO

 

Iron ore

The international prices for pellet were at their peak at US$93.65/MT and iron ore was at its highest at US$117/MT in February 2017. However both witnessed a sharp decline in the prices since then due to the plummeting demand from Chinese steel producers.

 

 

Coking coal

 

The international Hard Coking Coal prices rose by $64/MT (FOB Australia) in FY 2016-17.

 

 

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

 

JSPL produces one of the widest variety of flat products and a whole range of long products. The Company produces the worlds longest single piece Rail of 121 metre length and is a pioneer in manufacturing large-size parallel flange beams in India.

PRESS RELEASE

 

PARADISE PAPERS: ARGENTINA FIRM ROPED IN APPLEBY ON $2-MN DUES FROM JINDAL

 

The arbitration was for payment due to Ultrapetrol for the work it did as a contractor engaged by JSPLM for its business in Bolivia.

 

As on November 9 2017

 

In March 2015 Ultrapetrol SA registered in Argentina approached Appleby for advice on enforcing a London arbitral award against JSPLM Limited

 

APPLEBY DOCUMENTS show that Ultrapetrol SA a service provider to Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL) in Bolivia obtained an arbitral award in London in 2015 against Jindal Steel and Power Limited Mauritius (JSPLM) a 100 per cent subsidiary of JSPL related to dues of approximately $2 million.

 

In March 2015 Ultrapetrol SA registered in Argentina approached Appleby for advice on enforcing a London arbitral award against JSPLM Limited. Documents show the arbitration was for payment due to Ultrapetrol for the work it did as a contractor engaged by JSPLM for its business in Bolivia.

 

Ultrapetrol had asked Appleby on the avenues available to enforce of the arbitral award against the assets of Jindal outside Mauritius. It further asked for the procedures that needed to be followed for winding up of Jindal in the event the arbitral award remains unsatisfied.

 

Appleby suggested that since Mauritius is a signatory to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (New York Convention) a ruling by a foreign tribunal against a local company may be recognised and enforced by the Supreme Court of Mauritius.

 

It further said that while the court may exercise its discretion to turn down the enforcement of an arbitral award at the request of the party against whom it is invoked. But it pointed out the UK is a party to the New York Convention and that an arbitral award obtained in London was capable of being recognised and enforced in courts there.

 

However Appleby noted the winding-up procedures of a Mauritian company were governed under the Insolvency Act 2009. Therefore a liquidator appointed pursuant to the Act will not be able to take control of assets of Jindal outside the jurisdiction of Mauritius Appleby said.

 

Later in 2015 a report by Minter Ellison a legal and consulting firm based in Australia said that a Federal Court of Australia where Jindal has business interests has ordered that the foreign arbitral award against JSPLM be enforced and that “the non-appearance formed the basis for an order by default”.

 

RESPONSE

 

Jindal Steel and Power responds: The matter pertains to JSPL’s Bolivia project where Ultra Petrol SA was engaged as a contractor for regular course of operations. In 2012 the company had to withdraw from Bolivia project. All matters between subsidiaries of JSPL and Ultra Petrol SA stand amicably resolved and settled.

 

 

COAL SCAM: ED TO FILE PROSECUTION COMPLAINT AGAINST JINDAL STEEL AND POWER

 

The Enforcement Directorate in its status report also told the Supreme Court it has lodged seven more cases in the coal block allocation scam

 

October 20 2017

 

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has told the Supreme Court that it had lodged seven more cases in the coal block allocation scam and was in the process of filing prosecution complaints against two firms including Naveen Jindal-owned Jindal Steel and Power Limited.

 

In its tenth status report filed in the apex court for the period from January 2016 to September 30 this year ED said it had earlier received 55 FIRs from the CBI and registered enforcement case information report (ECIR) in all of them. “Subsequent to the ninth status report the Directorate of Enforcement has received seven more FIRs from the CBI and it has registered ECIR in respect of these seven cases” the agency told a bench headed by Justice M B Lokur.

 

The agency told the bench which also comprised Justices Kurian Joseph and A K Sikri that provisional attachment orders have been issued in 11 cases. “There has been a slight increase in the number of provisional attachment orders from the earlier status report” the court noted in its order adding “Prosecution complaint has been filed in two cases (AMR Iron and Steel Private Limited and Nav Bharat Power Private Limited). Filing of prosecution complaints are in process in respect of Jindal Steel and Power Limited and Grace Industries Limited” the order said.

 

Naveen Jindal was granted bail in September by a special court in a case related to the allocation of a coal block in Madhya Pradesh. ED also told the top court Kamal Sponge Steel and Power Limited was being investigated. The apex court has asked ED to file the next status report before December 4 while asking the agency and the CBI to expedite their probe in the coal scam cases.

 

The apex court had on January 23 constituted a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the allegations of “abuse of authority” prima facie committed by former CBI Director Ranjit Sinha to scuttle investigation and enquiries in the coal block allocation cases. It had later directed that no CBI officer who is probing coal scam cases or officials from SIT probing allegations of “abuse of authority” against the former CBI director would be transferred without its prior permission.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HDFC BANK WORLD’S MOST RICHLY VALUED LENDER HAS AN UNHAPPY SECRET

 

As on December 04 2017

 

HDFC Bank must acknowledge the divergence between its self-reported and RBI-assessed NPAs

 

Bad things don’t happen to good banks. Or that’s the carefully crafted image projected by the world’s priciest lender.

 

Assiduously shielding its loan book from the flying debris of India’s $207 billion bad-debt crisis HDFC Bank Limited has kept its balance sheet in a near-pristine condition. The aura of invincibility bestowed by a 1.26% soured-loan ratio—compared with almost 10% for State Bank of India and 25% for IDBI Bank Limited — also explains why HDFC Bank has a price-to-book multiple of 5.2. Among lenders with at least $50 billion in market value anywhere none is as expensive.

 

So it was a surprise last month when HDFC Bank reported a hefty provision against an unnamed corporate account that it said wasn’t a non-performing asset then one day later marked the loan down to NPA because the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) the regulator had told it to do so.

 

The matter would have rested there were it not for an independent banking analyst Hemindra Hazari. In a note on Smartkarma a research website Hazari reproduced last week a letter from the bank to Jindal Steel and Power Ltd allowing it to sell and lease back its oxygen plant provided the proceeds were “utilized towards clearing overdues to make our account absolutely regular.”

 

This opens a Pandora’s Box. Jindal Steel had net debt of INR 440000.000 Million ($6.8 billion) at the end of September. Was the steel company indeed the unidentified shaky account? If so was HDFC Bank on the hook to that borrower for more than 15% of its reported non-performing assets on 31 March the end of its financial year? Hazari believes so.

 

In that case the correct thing to do would be for HDFC Bank to acknowledge the “divergence” between its self-reported and RBI-assessed NPAs. But doing so would also mean admitting that those soured loans net of provisions were 95% more than disclosed in the full-year accounts.

 

Its halo would thus slip and the charge of being less than truthful that I’ve levelled at other non-state Indian lenders—Axis Bank Limited ICICI Bank Limited and Yes Bank Limited —would apply equally to HDFC Bank.

 

Questions might also arise about the RBI. Axis Bank chief executive officer Shikha Sharma told the Economic Times that she was compelled by the central bank to reclassify standard borrowers as NPAs and did so because “we are obedient children.” Jindal Steel has been named by local media as one of those accounts. The RBI can’t arbitrarily force some lenders to appear less than truthful while sparing others the humiliation of a mea culpa.

 

The fairness of the RBI’s assessment is one thing its correctness is another. For now India’s bloated steelmakers are enjoying an uptick in domestic demand and operating profitability. But they aren’t out of the woods.

 

Suppose sometime after March next year Jindal Steel struggled to pay rentals on its expensive sale-and-leaseback deal with Srei Equipment Finance Limited and the latter dragged it to the insolvency tribunal. By then the firm would have been an NPA for a year and India recently prohibited borrowers with non-performing loans overdue a year or longer—or parties connected to such debtors—from bidding for assets in bankruptcy.

 

Not only would Naveen Jindal chairman of Jindal Steel stand to forfeit the firm; even his brother Sajjan Jindal’s JSW Energy Limited which is already bailing out the sibling’s company by buying one of its power plants would be unable to help him win it back because it’s a connected party.

 

With the stakes this high the RBI needs to crack the whip of asset classification with a steady hand—one that treats creditors fairly and borrowers correctly. Meanwhile HDFC Bank must present a more accurate picture of its soured loans. After all bad things can happen even to great banks.

 

 

COAL SCAM: CBI PRESSES FOR BRIBERY CHARGE AGAINST JINDAL OTHERS

 

 JANUARY 10 2018

 

The case pertains to the allocation of the Amarkonda Murgadangal coal block in Jharkhand.

 

The CBI on Wednesday told a special court that the charge of bribery be also framed against Congress leader and industrialist Naveen Jindal and others in a case pertaining to irregularities in the allocation of a Jharkhand coal block.

 

The agency made the submission before special judge Bharat Parashar who granted the last opportunity to accused Jindal and others to file their written submissions by February 16 before the pronouncement of its order on framing of charges in the case.

 

The case pertains to the allocation of the Amarkonda Murgadangal coal block in Jharkhand.

 

“The charges for offer and acceptance of bribe to the public servant described and punishable under section 7 and 12 of Prevention of Corruption Act should be framed” senior public prosecutor V K Sharma appearing for CBI said.

 

The court had in April 2016 ordered framing of charges against Jindal former MoS for Coal Dasari Narayan Rao (since deceased) former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda former Coal Secretary H C Gupta and 11 others for the alleged offences of criminal conspiracy cheating criminal breach of trust under the IPC and sections of Prevention of Corruption Act in the case. However the bribery charge was not framed then.

 

An additional charge sheet was later filed against Jindal Steel’s adviser Anand Goel Gurgaon-based Green Infra’s vice-president Siddharth Madra Nihar Stocks Limited Director BSN Suryanarayan Mumbai-based KE International’s Chief Financial Officer Rajeev Aggarwal and Mumbai’s Essar Power Limited Executive Vice-Chairman Sushil Kumar Maroo.

 

During today’s proceedings the court which was hearing arguments on framing of charges based on the second charge sheet asked the accused named in the initial charge sheet whether they wanted to advance arguments on the point of charge.

 

CBI had alleged that Koda had favoured Jindal group firms — Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL) and Gagan Sponge Iron Private Limited (GSIPL) — in allocation of Amarkonda Murgadangal block.

 

It had alleged that five accused named in the second charge sheet tried to hamper the investigation and threatened Suresh Singhal a chartered accountant who was earlier arrayed as an accused but later turned approver.

 

All the accused have denied the allegations levelled against them and said there was no evidence to show that there was any conspiracy during the coal block allocation process.

 

The CBI recently filed another charge sheet against Jindal and others including Goel and Maroo for allegedly cheating the government by misrepresenting facts to get the Madhya Pradesh based Urtan North coal block.

 

 

COAL SCAM: SPECIAL COURT PULLS UP CBI FOR NOT PROVIDING DOCUMENTS TO ACCUSED

 

Date: 12.03.2018

 

According to the CBI charge sheet in this case, the accused had misrepresented facts in its January 2007 application before the Screening Committee, responsible for recommending coal block allocation.

 

A special court on Monday pulled up the CBI for not supplying documents to the accused in a coal scam case, involving industrialist Naveen Jindal, as directed by it in its last order. Special judge Bharat Parashar adjourned the matter for scrutiny of documents to April 10 in the case pertaining to the allocation of the Urtan North Coal block in Madhya Pradesh. “Comply with the direction of the court.

 

Adjourned for scrutiny of documents on April 10,” the judge said. The court had on January 15 directed the CBI to hand over some documents filed, along with the charge sheet, to industrialist Naveen Jindal and others. The court was hearing a matter pertaining to the allocation of Urtan North coal block in Madhya Pradesh where the offences of “cheating” and “criminal conspiracy” were “prima facie” made out against the accused.

 

Besides Jindal, the other accused in the case include Jindal Steel and Power Ltd’s (JSPL) former Director Sushil Maroo, former Deputy MD Anand Goyal and CEO Vikrant Gujral. Jindal is named as accused, along with former Minister of State for Coal Dasari Narayan Rao and former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda, in another case pertaining to alleged irregularities in allocation of Amarkonda Murgadangal coal block in Jharkhand.

 

According to the CBI charge sheet in this case, the accused had misrepresented facts in its January 2007 application before the Screening Committee, responsible for recommending coal block allocation, for obtaining the Madhya Pradesh coal block and hence cheated the Coal Ministry to get wrongful gains. The ministry had issued the allocation letter to the firm in October 2009. The probe agency has named 64 persons as prosecution witnesses to prove its case besides annexing 60 documents in its charge sheet.

 

The charge sheet has said that in the feedback form, the firm misrepresented or made false claims on two counts—that it had already acquired 964 acres of land for its Jharkhand- based Patratu project and that it had placed orders for equipment for its Odisha-based Angul project for INR 43400.000 Million.
