    Summary

    Post the unexpected price hike in the last two weeks of May 2014, the early part of June

    saw the prices holding firm until rains started to interfere. With the onset of rains and al-

    most completed restocking, the steel prices started to relax while iron ore kept flourishing

    amidst thin buying.

    The increase in the domestic iron ore prices didnt upset many local buyer but definitely the

    impact was brutal on the southern and south western buyers like JSW, KIOCL and Sona

    Alloys etc who started to plan for alternate sources.

    Steel prices dipped towards mid-June as anticipated sales went down and billet and ingot

    producers in the eastern region went for healthy discounting giving some support to the low

    sales. By the end of the month, the prices were again back gaining upto 50 percent of the

    lost premium and settling at an overall discount of 50 percent to the hiked levels of end-

    May. The hike in the freight levels added to the increase.

    On the contrary, the situation in the northern markets was different. Power cuts and high

    freight rates towards the month end, aggravated the situation and prices in this particular

    area saw a further increase over the end-May levels.

    Iron ore pellet prices remained on the higher side but the INR 9000 levels became dormant

    and new levels of INR 7600-8000 per ton were visible across the eastern markets. In thesouthern sector INR 7300 per ton became prevalent.

    The inventory situation at various steel units across the eastern sector improved considera-

    bly by mid-June and the units were holding nearly 40 days of stock with them. The working

    mines were producing at a rate of nearly 80-85 percent in June giving the much required

    support. The expectations from the new government are yet to take shape and with each

    progressing day, the market is building up on future developments across the country.

    There were no e-auctions in Goa while the Karnataka auctions saw a 31 percent selling

    rate with a better sale quantity witnessed in June. There were some new buyers this month

    from Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh & Gujarat participating in the auctions. Fines kept the

    dominant share while lumps slipped below ROM sales.

    In terms of exports, June had a very silent show. Total iron ore exports from India in the

    month were 0.277 million tons with imports of nearly 45000 tons. Indias iron ore stockpiles

    in China slipped below 1 percent of the total available stockpiles at major Chinese ports.

    Although the average for June remained at 1 percent of 115.3 million tons.

    Market Brief - Domestic Iron ore Demand, Supply & Pricing

    Iron ore prices were unchanged through the month of June after the hike in May.

    The working mines in Orissa and Jharkhand were producing at rates above 80 percent due to a

    good demand in the market and to cover the absence of the closed mines.

    The mine closures in May allowed the raw material prices to pick up to high levels which retained

    the strength through the entire June.

    The desperate buyers allowed the miners to hike their offers and even hold their sales in an antici-

    pation of much better prices.

    The anticipated imports due to the price hike in the domestic shape were beginning to reach India

    with first major shipment expected in early July.

    June saw only small cargoes arriving for Tata Steel Ltd.

    By mid-June, most of the steel units including re-rolling and conversion had stocked had stocked up

    enough cargoes to enter into a wait and watch situation. They were then expecting for the price

    levels to dip in order to book new stocks.

    Indias new governments first budget was another factor which kept the steel buying and demand at

    lower levels. The budget expected in first week of July provided enough cushion to the market to

    remain on the sidelines.

    Meanwhile, the 50:50 iron ore sharing rule in Orissa is still in the hands of the High Court and a set-

    tlement is expected sometime in mid-July.

    Inspite of the iron ore mining ban and temporary closure of nearly 18 mines in the state, the iron ore

    utilization dipped in the state. The total iron ore utilization fell by 4.48 percent for the month of June

    with trade and exports share dramatically cutting down by 75 percent and 92 percent respectively.

    In proportion, majority of the iron ore was being utilized in processing within the state, after which it

    was being self consumed by involved companies.

    Exports from Orissa completely disappeared and just 0.024 million tons were seen being exported

    from the state miners in this month. The fall was recorded at 92 percent, biggest ever monthly drop

    in the exports on monthly basis from the state.

    Interesting the rise in the utilization from processing based industry came from the industries which

    were outside the state and were utilizing Orissas iron ore. The self consumption basis was lower in

    June as compared to May 2014. Self consumption within the state was at 2.08 million tons while that

    with outside state went up to 2.53 million tons.

    Market Brief - Domestic Iron ore Demand, Supply & Pricing

    Production in Orissa witnessed a drop in the month of June as 18 mines were shut while others

    couldnt ramp up enough. The demand from the steel segment wasnt bold either to absorb any

    large production in this month due to the rainy season and struggling sales.

    Total production for the month was noted to be below 4.2 million tons on a provision base in accor-

    dance to the operating mines.

    The total production volume for the month might have remained low but the miners in business pro-

    duced good volumes and restricted sales in order to attain higher prices for their quantities.

    On the higher end, the production went up to touch 85 percent while on the lower band the produc-

    tion was seen rising to 45 percent in the month for the first time in the last 14 months, majorly in the

    private sector alone.

    May saw the earlier highs but the opening of the mines in June and upcoming rainy weather wit-

    nessed another hike in the mining scenario.

    The rail movement in the sector was equivalent to zero in the month as exporters who usually car-

    ried iron ore by rakes were totally absent and the large domestic movers were not active either.

    Road movement was active across the state and even between Orissa, West Bengal and Jhark-

    hand. This lead to a good availability of rakes for iron ore movement.

    In the domestic market, the movement was majorly by road likewise the last month as steel units

    were engaged in buying smaller quantities and the freight rates through road were cheaper than rail

    for ferrying iron ore.

    Iron ore miners like Rungta, KJS and Indrani Patnaik started to serve their iron ore more to the do-

    mestic market rather than looking at exports as the margins were seen rising in the domestic market

    after the recent rail freight hike and decline in the global iron ore prices. A complete breakdown ofthe sales and costs involved is illustrated in the next page.

    Private miners production, in % terms in Orissa

    The increase in the production by handful of large numbers against the stable production re-ported by others, indicates that the demand hasnt been strong enough and the present high

    prices of iron ore may not sustain for long. Only if the steel demand picks up or more minesclose down, the prices could sustain their current levels.

    Market Brief - Domestic Iron ore Demand, Supply & Pricing

    The Indian railways recent freight hike in June end by 6.5 percent has lead to the coal rakes from

    the plant/siding to ports to go empty (without any load). Indian railways is moving empty rakes to the

    ports to ferry coal from port to plants. Earlier the same rakes were used to move iron ore from mines

    to ports and in return journey, coal used to come to the plants. Now after the hike, the rakes are

    moving empty on one side causing a bigger loss to the railways. The exports have completely come

    to a standstill after this freight hike which was also supported by a global meltdown of the iron ore

    prices.

    Compared to the 30% export duty, the railway freight on exports is a bigger problem for the export-

    ers today. If the government doesnt reduce the export duty but only works on the export-based rail-

    way freight then also the solutions can be drawn for the industry and losses can be reduced.

    At the end, the exporters will be benefited by a maximum of Rs 1800 per ton (i.e. USD 30 per ton)

    whereas there would be still a deficit of USD 10 per ton left in the realizations making the export

    based transactions a tough ask.

    Railways earned nearly Rs 9200 crores by transporting iron ore meant for exports in 2013-14 and

    nearly Rs 40,000 crores by moving coal in the same period. In 2013-14, India exported 15.12 million

    tons and imported nearly 171 million tons of coal.

    In 2014-15, the export of iron ore mainly through railways (i.e. excluding the ore from Goa) is likely

    to decline further to 7-8 million tons due to two reasonsfirst declining iron ore prices globally and

    second high export duty and railway freight. Both these factors lead to a complete cut in the marginsof the exporters and hence it would be difficult to witness a larger usage of railway rakes to transport

    ore meant for exports. At the same time, the coal imports are likely to hit 185 million tons and iron

    ore imports will move upto 5-7 million tons.

    The overall result of this railways will have to move more rakes from port to domestic plants and the

    number of empty rakes from plants/sidings to ports will keep on diminishing. The solution could be

    that either railways start moving some other commodities to make up for the empty movement or

    reduce the freight on iron ore exports.

    Market Brief - Domestic Iron ore Demand, Supply & Pricing

    The raw material holding strength (RMHS) of majority sponge iron producers in Orissa increased

    from nearly 30 days to 35 days towards the month end while in Chhattisgarh the same was stable at

    45 days due to the upcoming rains and stable prices from NMDC.

    The rise in the RMHS was mainly due to the uncertainty building up in the market where more mines

    were fearing closure in the state of Jharkhand while the re-opening of the banned mines was being

    delayed further with no hopes of early opening.

    The mines which were to open by early-June were not expecting resolution till mid-July and the

    question of better availability was straining the price in the market.

    The sponge units were stocking up well for not just the problem times but also keeping in view the

    monsoons coming up towards end-July.

    The pellet usage ratio decreased slightly in the month after the hike in the pellet prices but the im-

    pact wasnt felt much as only a handful of the sampled audience indicated the lesser use of pellets

    against lumps.

    The pellet prices were expected to bow down in the month due to the steep hike in May and the

    opening of Essars pipeline connecting Paradip pellet plant to Dabuna beneficiation plant. There is a

    good expectation of more pellets being available in the market once the production fully comes on-

    stream.

    Compared to Rs 7500 per ton average pellet price with a realization of nearly 80-85 percent, the

    usage of lumps at Rs 6600 per ton was not favored equally in June.

    Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand units were still purchasing pellets from Orissa units at the marked

    prices inspite of good availability of lumps.

    Units in Orissa were still holding onto their previous consuming ratios amidst a slowing production

    trend.

    The variance between lumps and pellets closed down to less than Rs 900 per ton towards June end

    in the eastern markets while in the south the same was still floating at a balance of Rs 1700-2000

    per ton, based on the e-auction prices.

    From Center::

    13-Jun Mines Ministry floated a draft Cabinet note on increasing royalty on minerals like iron ore

    and bauxite for inter-ministerial discussions. If approved by the Cabinet, the annual reve-

    nue collection of mineral-bearing states would swell by about 41 percent to INR 13,270

    crores.

    The proposal seeks to raise the royalty rate on iron ore and chromite to 15 percent from

    10 percent now. For bauxite, it wants the royalty to be hiked to 0.6 percent from 0.5 per-

    cent now. There are also plans to hike the rate for manganese to 5 percent from 4.2 per-

    cent. The rates of royalty, revised in every three years, for major minerals excluding coal,

    lignite and sand for stowing were last revised in August, 2009.

    17-Jun The Steel Ministry asked the Finance Ministry hold the iron ore export duty at 30% while

    reduce the import duty from 5 percent to 0 percent sighting a 35 percent fall in the iron ore

    output in the country.

    Indicating the falling iron ore output burdening the steel industry, the steel ministry recom-

    mended the export duty to be left at 30 percent.

    20-Jun Indian government will soon come out with a new Mines Bill in consultation with all stake-

    holders in place of the lapsed previous Bill, which provided sharing of 26 percent of the

    profit with the miners.

    Likely content and contour of a new MMDR Bill will find a prominent place as the MinesMinistry gives presentation to Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi.

    Seeking to replace a more than half-a-century-old law, a new Mines and Mineral

    (Development and Regulation) Bill, 2011 was tabled in the Lok Sabha by the UPA-II gov-

    ernment in December 2011. But it could not be passed and thus stand lapsed now.

    To fast track major the investment projects and impart transparency in clearance proce-

    dures, the project monitoring group (PMG) under the cabinet secretariat has decided to

    digitize all applications for clearances relating to forest, environment and others by March

    2015.

    Starting 1 July, all forest clearances for industry and infrastructure projects will go online,

    to be followed by online environmental approvals from 1 September and clearances ex-

    ploration of mines from 1 November, Union Additional Secretary and Central PMG Chair-

    man Mr. Anil Swarup recently indicated.

    Goa::

    30-Jun Hike in royalty rate on iron ore will doom the mining sector and make some reserves un-

    viable, as per Goa Mineral Ore Exporters' Association. "Any enhancement of royalty rates

    will have dire consequences on the industry apart from being detrimental to mineral con-

    servation," Mr. Shivanand Salgaocar, President of GMOEA has said in a letter to Mines

    Minister Mr. Narendra Singh Tomar.

    30-Jun A leading mining workers union in Goa has demanded resumption of mining activities in

    Goa to save the jobs of people employed on various mining leases. Some of the mine

    owners have decided to terminate the services of permanent workers as they feel that the

    mining operation will not resume in the near future, United Mine Workers Union General

    Secretary Mr. Puti Gaonkar said in a letter to Chief Minister Mr. Manohar Parrikar.

    16-Jun The state mines department has set an internal timeline to restart operation at 18 more

    mines, which were closed by the Supreme Court order, pending second and third renewal

    of their lease terms, by the end of July next as per reports.

    16-Jun Iron ore production in Odisha rose 22 per cent in 2013-14 to reach 77.84 million tons

    compared to 63 million tons (mnt) registered in FY 13.

    The states iron ore output is also the best since 2009-10 when the ore production

    touched its highest ever level of 80.896 ml tons but plummeted in the following years.

    The states internal consumption of iron ore stood at 67.66 million tons for the year.

    Major iron ore producers during 2013-14 included Serajuddin & Company (8.3 ml tons),Sarda Mines (7.02 ml tons), Rungta Mines (5.4 ml tons), Indrani Patnaik (3.88 ml tons),

    Essel Mining & Industries Ltd (2.7 ml tons), Mid-East Integrated Steel (2.07 ml tons), Ar-

    yan Mining & Trading Corporation (2.9 ml tons), Rungta Sons (2.63 ml tons) and Fee-

    grade & Company Pvt Ltd (2.11 ml tons).

    20-Jun Odisha state finance department projected 15 per cent rise in collection of mining revenue

    in 2014-15 despite of the ongoing issues related to mining which saw a majority of the

    steel and mines industry to come to a temporary pause for nearly 8-10 days.

    The department projected to generate Rs 6,346.98 crore revenue from the mining sector,

    higher than Rs 5,515 crore collected in the last year as per reports.

    In 2013-14, the revenue collection from the mining sector had fallen by 3.11 per cent from

    Rs 5,695.70 crore collected in the previous year despite higher output of iron ore. The

    major reason for the drop being the low mineral prices.

    23-Jun Odisha government indicated that there was no shortage of raw materials for industries in

    the state. "Major mineral-based industries are not facing any raw material shortage in the

    state," Odisha's Steel and Mines minister Mr. Prafulla Kumar Mallick said while replying to

    an adjournment debate in the House.

    Orissa

    30-Jun 11.68 million tons of steel was produced (other than captive use) and 77.84 million tons of

    iron ore was produced in Odisha during 2013-14. The state industries required only

    18.688 million tons of iron ore for the production of 11.68 million tons of steel, Mr. Mallick

    said, adding that this indicated that there was no shortage of ore.

    16-Jun Indias state-run pellet maker KIOCL Ltd sought Steel Ministers Mr. Narendra Singh

    Tomar's assistance in areas such as capacity expansion and foray into new segments to

    help rejuvenate the firm. In a recent meeting with the minister, company Managing Direc-

    tor Mr. Malay Chatterjee "stressed upon specific issues connected to KIOCL" and sought

    assistance for rejuvenation, the Bangalore-based PSU said in a statement recently.

    16-Jun Pellet manufacturers have asked the government to scrap export duty on the steel-

    making input, saying that sudden imposition of the levy has cast a shadow on INR 25,000

    crores worth investments made by them to enhance capacity.

    Pellet Manufacturers' Association of India (PMAI) in a meeting with the commerce ministry

    has petitioned for removal of 5 percent export duty, imposed in January this year, claiming

    that it was choking the industry and would stunt growth.

    23-Jun As domestic iron ore output is on the wane, industry body Assocham today suggested theCommerce Ministry to prune import duty on the key steel-making input to nil and treble

    levy on pellet exports to 15 percent.

    "The drop in domestic iron ore production is forcing the steel industry to import iron ore

    from international market. It is suggested that government may consider reducing import

    duty on iron ore to zero from the currently levied 2.5 percent," Assocham said in a memo-

    randum to Commerce Minister Ms. Nirmala Sitharaman.

    18-Jun Federation of Indian Mineral Industries (FIMI) pitched for complete withdrawal of export

    duty of iron ore, saying it would help achieve zero-waste mining.

    "In order that the resources are fully utilized without detriment to the domestic steel indus-

    try, it is imperative to make Indian exports competitive by withdrawing export duty com-

    pletely," FIMI said in an hour-long meeting with Steel and Mines minister Mr. Narendra

    Singh Tomar.

    There is a two-way demand put forward by steel and iron ore lobbies in front of the new govt. The iron

    ore lobby demanding for removal of export duty on iron ore and pellets while steel lobby seeking re-

    moval import duty on iron ore. Meanwhile, amidst all this railways is the key sector which is losing crores

    of revenues and any step taken by government towards changing the duty would help the railways to

    mitigate some of its losses.

    Steel & Iron - Comparative View

    Pellet prices overshot the lumps post

    the mining ban in the eastern sector.

    The rise in the pellet prices was much

    sharper than that in the lumps on

    month on month basis.

    The eastern sector mainly saw the

    prices remaining stable for June for

    lumps while pellets over shot the ex-

    pectations by reaching Rs 9000 per ton

    mark.

    The reason for the pellet exports scal-

    ing down to NIL can be easily under-

    stood by looking into the graph on the

    right. The CFR levels of pellets when

    converted to INR were far below the

    domestic prices, eventually giving lar-ger benefits to the merchant suppliers

    in the domestic markets. Hence, the

    exports were completely neglected and

    the cargoes delivered within the coun-

    try.

    Comparative view of steel versus iron ore {LHS: Steel & RHS: Iron Ore} in Rs per ton

    For Eastern region only -

    Sponge prices rose and

    then settled along with

    billet and ingot but the drop

    was sharper in sponge

    (DRI).

    TMT gained last month

    maintained a small pre-

    mium once again in June

    While sponge fell, TMT

    maintained the increase

    suggesting demand crisis.

    Iron ore prices were up in

    10% on average basis.

    Steel & Iron - Comparative View

    Comparative view of steel billet versus scrap and rebar in Rs per ton

    For northern region only -

    Monthly Basis

    Billet usage is going down

    further as scrap is more

    readily and cheaper even

    when imported. Compara-

    tively, the hiked freight and

    billet prices from east are

    making it completely unvia-

    ble to convert billets (from

    east) to TMT in north. This

    has lead to the use of ma-jorly scrap in the north now.

    Scrap prices picked up

    marginally in June but the

    excise advantage gained

    by the importers and inter-

    mediate traders allowed

    good cargoes to be moved

    to Mandi markets.

    A new market which is

    gaining interest in the north

    is the Jaipur market which

    is producing close to

    10,000 tons of steel a

    month with the imported

    scrap.

    As imported scrap starts to

    turn cheaper due to cur-

    rency and road-tariff cuts, it

    is more preferred in the

    northern markets.

    Scrap imports peaked to

    0.488 million tons in June

    2014 due to the lower price

    advantage and good avail-

    ability.

    Trade - Exports, Imports & Prices

    Indian iron ore exports fell in June to less than 0.3 million tons. The total exports were 276,661 tons in

    June which constituted of Goan cargoes of 120847 tons. There were no pellet shipments on record in

    June.

    Nearly 41% fall in exports quarter on quarter basis due to =1. Global slowdown in prices

    2. Orissa ban problem which allowed the prices to hike in domestic market and gave a chance to the

    exporters to sell in the domestic market and gain profits

    3. Nearly 115 million tons of stocks built up at Chinese ports along with good concentrate availability in

    China

    4. High railway freight for exports and the recently hiked freight rates

    5. Overall, the margins shrunk for the traders and merchant miners in the export market

    Chinas buying levels of Indian iron ore grades fell to USD 95 -97 levels (CFR China) on an average ba-

    sis in June cutting down all possible margins. The half yearly (Jan-Jun) average of the CFR price for

    63.5/63% Fe fines fell by 16.67 percent when compared to 2013. Compared to USD 136.42 per ton in

    2013, the average price for half year fell to USD 114.09 in 2014.

    The buying sentiment for Indian iron ore is still alive in China but the trade-able margins have disap-

    peared completely virtually killing the trade. June has been the worst month so far for iron ore in 2014

    and as per the graph below the prices are still on the decline through June.

    Indian Iron Ore Production vs Exports & Stockpiles

    Production & Exports

    Indian iron ore production, exports and % exported off production (in million tons, LHS) (%, RHS)

    Indian iron ore production in April registered 14.2 million tons on provisional basis as compared to

    Mar14 which saw 14.6 million tons. Compared to Apr 2013, the production is up by almost 29 per-

    cent in the month.

    The estimated iron ore production for May & June are nearly13.2 and 13.6 million tons mainly due to

    the ban in Orissa.

    Orissa remained the largest producer with an estimated 5.3 million tons for June 2014.

    Paradip, Vizag and Haldia are holding the majority of the iron ore stockpiles in India.

    As compared to May, June stockpiles are down by 9.8 percent considering the cut in exports from

    India and reduced coastal movement.

    Road movement from Orissa to Vizag is back on hold (as per sources) as it was a temporary relief

    provided through the months on April & May. There is no clarity on this as movement is minimal on

    this route.

    Trade - Sea Trade & Stock piles

    Iron ore stockpiles at major Chinese ports increased to 114.93 million tons by June end from 113

    million tons registered in May-end. Indian iron ore stockpiles in China reduced to nearly 1.00% of

    the total 114.93 million tons recorded towards end of the month. Indian iron ore stockpiles registered

    a total of depressing 1.06 million tons.

    Number of vessels with Indian iron ore fines calling at Chinese ports were just 6 in the entire month

    as per the customs data received by OreTeam China.

    Chinas Blast furnace burden ratio of pellet, sintering ore and lump in May was seen at 25%, 71%

    and 4% respectively. The pellets decreased in May as domestically the availability was better and

    due to the lower prices, offers of pellets from Ukraine, Canada and Brazil also shrunk.

    The pellet premiums for below 65% Fe grades were stable in the bracket of USD 19-21 per ton

    while the same premiums for above 65% Fe grade pellets increased to nearly USD 25-26 per ton.

    Lumps premium for 60-63.5% Fe grades were witnessed at 0.045 dmtu per ton.

    Chinas steel inventory levels dipped to 14.42 days by end-May from 16.57 days recorded around March

    end. There is a clear wait and watch attitude visible from the buyers end who do not wish to procure lar-

    ger volumes in the volatile market conditions.

    Chinas total domestic crude steel output during May was 70.43 million tons, up 2.3% month-on-month

    and 5.1% year-on-year. The average daily crude steel output for May was 2.27 million tons, down 1.0%

    month-on-month. The decline in May was due mainly to unit maintenance by the large number of steel

    mills and the arrival of low-demand season.

    In June, tight liquidity and poor orders further depressed the steel mill enthusiasm in production and the

    prices followed the fluctuation trend. The official figures will be available in the Augusts publication of

    this report. Some steel mills, especially SMEs, were forced to conduct maintenance or cut output duringJune due to a lack of profits. Although additional banks were allowed to cut their deposit reserve ratios

    by 0.5%, the PBOC only allowed cuts at those banks that met specific requirements.

    Also, tight cash flows were a major factor affecting output during June. Falling downstream orders further

    impacted the steel plants output. In late April, many downstream steel-consuming sectors, especially

    manufacturing sectors, entered a low-demand period, and as a result, the Steel PMI for May fell to

    46.53, with a seasonally adjusted PMI of 48.95. This decline in manufacturing activity will cause steel

    demand and output to fall in the coming months, if the economic conditions do not change.

    Orissa iron ore exports by miner

    The extent of fall in exports can be seen from the above table where no miner has moved his cargoes to

    the ports either by rail or road in June 2014. A dramatic fall of 92% in the movement of iron ore for export

    by any of the miners. The situation is likely to hold the same for July as well with very little respite.
