MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT & INDUSTRY STRUCTURE

 

During the current year, the Indian economy on a macro basis stayed fairly robust as compared to other global economies. In India, the economy is expected to do better in the coming year mainly on account of Make in India initiative. The likely implementation of big ticket reform in the form of Goods and Service Tax is expected to unify the nation into one market place with GST subsuming multiple taxes. This would reduce the compliance burden on the industry and result in better business environment.

 

Firming up of the TiO2 market saw a cascading effect on the Ti feedstock market during 2016-17. The stoppage of exports from Tamil Nadu at the fag end of 2016 created a temporary shortage in the market that resulted in surge in demand for Ilmenite. However, with the demand-supply gap is being filled by material from Africa and there would be no advantage to Ti feedstock suppliers including IREL in 2017-18 on this count. In case of Zircon, curtailing of supply by large producers is expected to result in increased demand for material from IREL. The rare earth market that was lackluster for most part of 2016-17 has also firmed up and an uptick in demand is expected. This trend is expected to continue in 2017-18 and IREL can expect better sales for Rare Earths Chloride and HPRE compounds in the coming year. Over all, IREL expects the market to be slightly better in 2017-18 as compared to 2016-17. However, the production constraints at Chavara and MK and non-issue of transport permit to MK unit by local authorities are likely to have impact on performance of the Company.

 

Indian Rare Earths Limited, under the Administrative control of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) is engaged in mining and production of beach sand minerals and rare earth compounds. Some of the minerals produced by IREL find use in the Nuclear Power Programme of the Govt. of India apart from wide ranging industrial applications. The main minerals separated by IREL from the beach sands at its three Units located at Kerala, Tamilnadu and Orissa are ilmenite, rutile, leucoxene, silimanite, garnet, zircon and monazite. IREL also produces uranium, thorium and rare earth salts.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The tight supply situation in the titanium value chain from feed stock to titanium pigment that showed signs of manifestation from the third quarter of 2016 is likely to continue during the year 2017-18. While the tight supply situation is likely to augur well for titanium feedstock producers, supplies from new sources to the traditional target market of IREL are likely to even things out. The Chinese environment policies that have come to fore are affecting the Chinese TiO2 and ilmenite producers as well as ceramics manufacturers. The way the Chinese industry copes with the regulations is likely to impact the demand-supply dynamics of two major products produced by IREL viz.Ilmenite and Zircon.

 

The acquisition of Cristal by Tronox and formal incorporation of Lomon Billions in China have ramification for the titanium industry. Vertical integration is a key factor in both the deals as captive feedstock consumption rises to 40% from 30%. This is likely to lead to some reshuffling of offtake agreements, changing not only the commercial strategies of mineral sands producers but also the feedstock value mix for much of the pigment realm.

 

Impact of closure of mines by some of the suppliers and grade depletion reported at existing mines is likely to be positive impact on market for minerals especially Zircon at least in the short run as this results in tight demand-supply scenario. Increased supplies from African producers may even out the conditions that are favourable at this juncture.

 

The National Steel Policy 2017 (NSP) approved by the Cabinet esvisages Rs 10 lakh crore investment to create more capacity in the steel sector. The policy also emphasizes at increasing per capita steel consumption to 160 kg by 2030 from the current level of 61 kg (world average being 208 kg). This and the various other measures for the steel industry envisaged in the NSP is likely to give impetus to the steel sector. This would lead to increased demand for Sillimanite that is used for making refractories whose major consumer is the steel industry

 

China's curb on illegal mining and exports has resulted in the rare earth market looking up during the last quarter of 2016-17. The buoyancy in the rare earth market especially for elements used for production of magnets is expected to continue as green and clean energy gains impetus. Also, all out efforts to reduce carbon footprint by major nations is likely to have a positive impact on the market.

 

The Company has initiated efforts to diversify its export kitty by giving thrust on developing other markets. These efforts may succeed in 2017-18 and reduce reliance on a particular market. On the home front, implementation of Goods and Service Tax and migration to the GST regime is likely to be a challenge which the Company has to brace up during 2017-18. The Company expects GST to have a positive impact on the economy which will also be helpful to the Company. Further on the economic front, the Indian Rupee has been steadily strengthening vis-a-vis US Dollar and other currencies. This is leading to lesser realisations for products exported and higher competition from imported material especially Rutile and Zircon. Continued firming up of the Indian Rupee thus is a concern.
