Steel Industry in India - 2013 2. Steel Production Scenario in India: The Way Forward KEY FIGURES
INDIAN STEEL INDUSTRY: EVOLUTION AND GROWTH
Modern steel production facility started in India in 1874
Steel making in India can be traced back to 400 BC. The foundation of modern steel industry in India was led down in 1874 by establishment of steel making facility of Bengal Iron Works (BIW) in Kulti (West Bengal). Beginning of large scale steel production started with establishment of Tata steel plant in 1907 in Jamshedpur, which started production in 1912. Later large steel plants in India were established in Bokaro, Durgapur, Bhilai, Burnpur and Bhadrawati. Except Tata Steel, steel production in India was confined to public sector companies under control of SAIL till 1990s. Post liberalisation(1991) large scale development in steel industry was witnessed due to participation of private players and huge influx of foreign investment in steel industry of India.
Post liberalisation (1991) steel making was made open for private co.'s and steel price was also deregulated Finished steel production in India: Year 1951: 1.1 MT 1991-92: 14.33 MT 2011-12:73.7 MT(P) India’s crude steel production growth during 12th FYP 2012-17: estimated at 11.3 % (CAGR) Estimated crude steel volume India reaches by FY 17: Prod.: 125.9 MT Capacity: 139.9 MT
STEEL PRODUCTION TREND IN INDIA Post independence steel production in India showed a considerable growth in capacity. Finished steel production increased from 1.1 MT in 1951 to 14.33 MT in 1991-92. Post liberalisation the growth trend continued however at a higher pace and finished steel production reached 73.7 MT(provisional) for 2011-12.

CATEGORY WISE STEEL CONSUMPTION
Product-wise growth in steel consumption during 11th FYP 2007-11, in CAGR terms: Flat Prod.- 12.1 % Long Prod.- 5.9 % Alloy Prod.- 9 %
Steel consumption in India though maintained healthy growth during the 11th FYP (2007-11) but demand of steel in long product category remained sluggish. Slow paced infrastructure and industrial projects development due to worldwide recession was the major cause for sluggish demand of long product. While the demand of flat product posted high growth (12.1% CAGR) driven by robust domestic demand of consumer durables and utility items.
India’s steel sector growth is primarily driven by domestic demand as export volume is low Factors contributing to steel demand growth in India - Economic growth - Construction - Infrastructure dev. - Population growth - Manufacturing

Steel Industry in India - 2013 4. India’s Steel Import Export Scenario and Future Prospects KEY FIGURES
STEEL IMPORT TREND AND FUTURE SCENARIO
India is net importer of steel
India has been a net importer of steel, primarily of high grade steel and special steel products. Deregulation and reduction in import duties on steel imports has favoured steel imports. Steel imports has increased during the past decade due to surge in domestic demand and reduction in price differential between imported steel and domestic steel. Import volumes have been fluctuating during the past five years and as per working group estimates steel imports during 12th FYP is estimated to be in 5-6 MT range.
India primarily imports as well as exports value added and special steel products Steel import in India touched 7.38 MT in FY 10 Working group on Steel estimates steel imports in range of 5-6 MT during 12th FYP During 11th FYP steel import posted negative growth of about 9 % Working group on Steel estimates steel exports to reach 7 MT during 12th FYP

STEEL EXPORT TREND AND FUTURE SCENARIO Liberalisation and free trade policy helped growth of steel exports from India. Most of the steel exports from India consists of value added steel products with higher margins. To remain competitive globally India needs to grow share of value added and sophisticated steel product in its export basket. Steel exports from India declined during 2008-11 period due to subdued demand of steel globally. Steel export is expected to regain momentum as the global economy revives . Steel exports is estimated to grow gradually from about 4 MT during FY 13 to 7 MT by FY 17. Exhibit 17: Steel exports from India : past trends and future estimates- 2007-08 to 2017 Finished Steel Export from India in MT 8

Steel Industry in India - 2013 5. Raw Material Supplies for Steel Industry: Is India Self Sufficient? KEY FIGURES
ASSESSING RAW MATERIAL SUPPLY SCENARIO FOR INDIA
Iron ore production in FY 12 was 169.66 MT
Raw material accounts for about 30-50% of the total cost of steel production in India. Raw materials for steel making includes iron ore, coke, lime, ferro-alloys and refractories etc. India has a huge iron ore reserve of about 28.52 billion tons. About 60-70 % of the iron ore produced is consumed domestically and remaining (mostly fines) is exported. India lags in coking coal reserves and have only 5.3 billion tons of coking coal reserves. India meets more than 50 percent of coking coal demand through imports and imports will grow in parallel with increasing steel production capacity.
India has 28.52 billion tons of iron ore reserves Estimated iron ore consumption by iron and steel industry in FY 12 was 116.3 MT Coking coal production in India for FY 12 is estimated at about 22 MT Coking coal import in India for 2012 is estimated at about 36.8 MT
RAW MATERIAL DEMAND BY STEEL INDUSTRY About 2.5 to 3.5 ton of raw materials is required per ton of crude steel production in India. With increasing crude steel production capacities demand for main raw materials like iron ore and coking coal by steel industry will increase at faster pace.

Steel Industry in India - 2013 6. Inadequate Infrastructure: A Major Concern for Steel Industry in India KEY FIGURES
INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES FOR STEEL INDUSTRY IN INDIA
Estimated investment in infrastructure sector during 12th FYP(2012-17): $ 1 trillion
Steel industry is heavily dependent on raw material and bulk movement. For every tonne of steel produced about four tonnes of raw materials requires to be transported. Indian steel industry is facing difficulties and delays caused due to inadequate infrastructure for transportation and handling bulk materials. Most of the steel plant does not have proper connectivity through rail network to mines and ports. Bulk handling facility at majority of the ports, mines and steel plants are of low capacity causing delays in loading & unloading. In most cases road networks connecting steel plants to mines and ports are congested leading to delays in supply and delivery of raw material and other items.
Estimated bulk transportation & handling capacity requirement of steel industry by 2017: more than 400 MT Investment in infrastructure sector of India is estimated to remain in 9-10 % range during 12th FYP (2012-17) Infrastructure requirement by steel industry is estimated to double in next five years.

Steel Industry in India - 2013 9. Executive Summary AUTHOR: Post liberalisation in 1991 Indian steel Industry has attained a substantial growth on domestic as well as global platform. Growing in pace with the economy Indian steel industry has positioned itself as the largest sponge iron producer and the fourth largest crude steel producer in the world. Global crude steel production reached 1527 MT in 2011 in which India contributed a significant 4.7%. TARUN MISHRA Director- Consulting & Research Corpotrade Global Pvt. Ltd., India For any queries or information regarding contents of this report or for any type of assistance I can be reached at following contacts: Phone: +91 11 6469 7575 Mail: tarun@cptgl.com business@cptgl.com Web: www.cptgl.com www.corpotradeglobal.com
Though effect of global economic recession post 2008 was witnessed by steel sector globally, but Indian steel industry showed resilience and growth due to robust domestic demand. The credit of Indian steel industry’s growth goes to policies of government and Indian public and private sector steel producers. With present low per capita steel consumption at 57 kg in India against global average of 215 kg there lies a huge potential for steel demand growth in India. Also the estimated massive $ 1 trillion investment in India’s infrastructure sector during 12th FYP will boost demand of steel. Significant steel demand will also arise from rural markets and proactive steel producers in India have started exploring untapped rural markets to get maximum share of this market. Indian steel industry attained appreciable growth post liberalisation but it has suffered due to issues of efficiency, quality, safety and productivity. Future growth and sustainability of Indian steel industry lies in adapting latest technologies, improving efficiency and optimising process.
