TABLE OF CONTENTS

India is amongst the very few countries in the World which is blessed with abundant availability of raw materials for making the steel and the domes�c demand to market it. Steel is one of the core drivers of industrialisa�on and among all the metals, steel has historically held a dominant posi�on. As a raw material and intermediate product, produc�on and consump�on of steel are widely regarded as indicators of economic growth.

The steel industry had a challenging opera�ng environment in the current year i.e., 2019-20. The outlook for steelmakers for the year remained weak specifically due to the slump in domes�c steel consump�on, weak debt protec�on metrics and

decrease in investment across sectors. During the Year 2019-20 the demand for steel grew by around 5 percent, which is much lower than the earlier es�mates of around 7 percent. The Economic growth of the country has also remained sluggish for the year 2019-20. The economy grew at 4.2 percent in 2019-20, lower than the 6.1 percent figure registered in 2018-19, and the global Covid-19 Pandemic in last quarter of FY20 further impacted adversely all sectors of the economy, especially manufacturing and construc�on.

During the year 2019-20, the Indian Government ini�ated several policy ini�a�ves to support the steel industry and these were largely possible due to the proac�ve role essayed by the 'Indian Steel Associa�on'. The Associa�on worked in close tandem with the Ministry of Steel and Ministry of Commerce and Industry on different issues faced by the steel industry. At the same �me, it held bilateral dialogues with ASEAN Iron and Steel Council (AISC), China Iron and Steel Associa�on (CISA) and with other industry associa�ons in different countries so that our concerns could be coordinated at a global level.

In the last one-year, Indian Steel Associa�on has made many representa�ons and posi�on papers for different Ministries and Departments of Government of India, notably on the Issue of 'Expiring Mining Leases', 'Emission norms of Iron and Steel Plants', 'Exclusion of Steel from RCEP' and other Trade Agreements under nego�a�on, Non- Tariffs Barriers on Steel products and on mi�ga�ng strategies for

COVID 19 pandemic. During the year Indian Steel Associa�on successfully organised its annual flagship event 'ISA Steel Conclave 2019' which for the first �me included “ISA Steel Awards”. The Associa�on also organised a seminar “Construct Steel” jointly with the World Steel Associa�on and INSDAG. Indian Steel Associa�on was also entrusted with the task of issuing the Short-Range Outlook on steel demand, which is used by World Steel Associa�on for India.

Indian Steel Associa�on has been closely working with Ministry of Steel and Ministry of Commerce and Industry with respect to the iden�fica�on and Mapping of HSITC for the Indian Standards proposed to be brought under mandatory Steel and Steel Products Quality Control Orders (QCO). Over the period of one-year, significant number of QCO's has been no�fied by the Government which will eventually lead to availability of quality steel products in the country.

Indian Steel Associa�on will always take forward industry issues & challenges and represent the Indian Steel Industry at all forums - be they na�onal or interna�onal.

Bhaskar Cha�erjee, Indian Steel Associa�on Secretary-General, speaks on the consump�on pa�ern, problems and solu�ons for the sector

India is one of the largest producers of steel, a key input material for various infrastructure projects. In the context of the forthcoming Budget, Bhaskar Cha�erjee, Secretary-General and Execu�ve Head, Indian Steel Associa�on, spoke to BusinessLine on the consump�on pa�ern, problems and solu�ons for the sector.

The steel industry has heaved a sigh of relief a�er Prime Minister Modi decided against joining the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, a Chinese-backed free trade agreement (FTA) among 15 na�ons that would have made the largest trade bloc in the world.

The RCEP, if one were to include India, would include countries accoun�ng for a third of global economic output and half of the world's popula�on. RCEP nego�a�ng partners include 10 South-East Asian economies and six others—China, Australia, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and India.

The domes�c steel industry, which has long opposed the one-sided nature of India's exis�ng free trade agreements, was opposed to the RCEP from the start.

Speaking to Mint, Bhaskar Cha�erjee, Secretary General and Execu�ve Head, Indian Steel Associa�on, said: “The PM's announcement has come as a great relief for steel industry in par�cular and many other industries in general. As far back as June, representa�ves of the steel industry met with the Ministries of Commerce and Steel and with the Indian Steel Associa�on. These interac�ons between the government and industry were going on ac�vely. We had asked the government that if signing the RCEP was inevitable, then steel items should be kept out of the agreement."

India has raised concerns about the unsustainable trade deficit that it has with countries such as China and wanted RCEP member countries to open up their labour market for Indian workers and reciprocate its opening up of the market so that Indian businesses could benefit in other areas. India had a trade deficit of $53 billion with China in FY19, Mint reported on 23 October.

The RCEP will s�ll go through without India's par�cipa�on.

While the final details of the RCEP framework are not known, India has voiced its concerns about ge�ng swamped by imports under the agreement. India runs a large trade deficit with RCEP countries and was looking for protec�on for its domes�c industry and farmers, especially against an influx of Chinese imports. India has also been worried about possible circumven�on of rules of origin of imports, restric�ons on movement of labour between member-na�ons and no credible assurances on non-tariff barriers.

In his statement about his decision not to join RCEP, Modi said: "When I measure the RCEP agreement with respect to the interests of all Indians, I do not get a posi�ve answer."

“At the end of day, if other countries are allowed to ship their material into India at nil duty, then many of them send in products that are priced cheaper than our own products," Cha�erjee said. “The RCEP is an expanded version of FTAs and the threat of Chinese dominance is a vital factor in the RCEP. In 2016-17, we saw what Chinese steel dumping did to our industry and we live under the shadow of those events. The Indian steel industry is par�cularly vulnerable to this and we strongly support the PM's decision. We are encouraged by this decision and it shows that the government is sensi�ve to what we have said."

"The industry will definitely grow and more investments will come from India to Saudi Arabia," Sharma added, highligh�ng that the iron ore hubs iden�fied in Saudi Arabia as poten�al opportuni�es. In addi�on, the company is hoping to seek partnerships for railway structures in the Middle East.

According to Sharma, the Indian railway industry consumes 1.7 million mt of steel annually. Steel Authority of India Ltd. contributes 1 million mt towards the total consump�on, while Jindal Steel and Power contributes 700,000 mt.

Jindal Steel and Power, a unit of Jindal Group, has a total produc�on capacity of 50 million mt of steel, out of which 2 million mt is produced at its Middle Eastern facility in Oman.

The company plans to increase its investment in the Middle East as the Indian government announced plans to increase its steel produc�on capacity to 300 million mt by 2030. The country was ranked second largest steel producer in 2018, a�er China. Different panels at the conference also noted that sen�ment was posi�ve in the Indian steel market following recent elec�ons.

Sharma also said that the cas�ng industry is the future in Saudi Arabia and expressed interest in possible investments. "Indian companies are very keen to par�cipate as investors in the Middle East and Africa. Our appe�te is for 2 million mt to 3 million mt capacity, nothing big like China," he added.

Bhaskar Cha�erjee, secretary general and execu�ve head of Indian Steel Associa�on, also said that the associa�on would like to play a vital role towards achieving Saudi vision 2030.

"Where industrializa�on and organiza�on goes, steel follows. We have seen that before as well," Cha�erjee said. "We believe that Saudi and Indian 2030 strategies will generate synergies for both countries," he added.

Victor Vukusic, general manager of Me�nvest's gulf branch, also expressed interest in the kingdom's growing steel industry. The Ukrainian company exports most of its steel products to Europe or the Middle East, Vukusic said in a presenta�on.

"Ukraine is a stable and predictable player in the region. It's on the right track as the country's na�onal currency rate has not seen any substan�al movement over the last three years. You cannot say that for many countries these days," he added.

The company has focused on expor�ng steel plates at the moment, but plans to expand its product-base for the Gulf Coopera�on Council, or GCC, markets to mainly DRI pellets and hot-

rolled coil. Me�nvest will start produc�on of DRI pellets in the second quarter of 2020 with 67.5% Fe content and 2.8% Silica and Aluminum oxide.

The plant will have an annual produc�on capacity of 2.1 million mt to 2.3 million mt. In addi�on, the company will start produc�on of hot-rolled coil at its Ilyich Iron & Steel Works at Mariupol by the fourth-quarter. The plant has an annual produc�on capacity of 2.5 million mt.

India and Ukraine have home-based advantage, being rich in iron ore. If Saudi Arabia wants to grow and expand its steel industry, the government needs to u�lize its home-grown advantage -- natural gas, Peter Marcus, managing partner of World Steel Dynamics said during the conference.

The conference chairman, Rayed Abdullah al-Ajaji, closed the conference by no�ng that the Saudi Arabian government needs to look to its natural gas assets if it wants to grow its steel industry, as recommended by World Steel Dynamics' Marcus. Ajaji, CEO of Universal Metal Coa�ng Co. and chairman of the Saudi Na�onal Commi�ee of Steel, also plans to work closely with Indian Steel Associa�on's Cha�erjee to look into the expansion of the steel industry in Saudi Arabia.

A common preoccupa�on of producers of ferrous and non-ferrous metals in India, China and elsewhere is to ensure security of supply of raw materials over a long term. At least in two major minerals, namely iron ore and bauxite required by makers of steel and aluminium, respec�vely, India being adequately endowed has a dis�nct advantage over China, which is dependent on import for both.

In the case of metallurgical coal, however, this is not the case for India. Its imports are set to rise year-on-year as more and more steel is to be made using the blast furnace and basic oxygen furnace ...

Pradhan urges steelmakers to adopt green prac�ces, boost produc�on

ANI | Updated: Nov 21, 2019 14:51 IST

New Delhi [India], Nov 21 (ANI): The steel industry must adopt environment-friendly prac�ces



and boost produc�on so that India can realise the vision of becoming a five trillion dollar economy in the next five years, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Thursday.

"The industry must deploy technology and innova�on to develop environment-friendly processes. As a responsible na�on, we are contribu�ng towards mi�ga�ng climate change. We have set an ambi�ous plan of achieving 450 gigawa� capacity of renewable energy. I appeal to the industry to work towards achieving the mission of green steel," he said.

As the country invests Rs 100 lakh crore in crea�ng and upgrading infrastructure, steel consump�on is poised to grow exponen�ally.

"The Indian economy is consump�on-driven. As the economy's size increases, the steel consump�on is going to get big impetus," said Pradhan while inaugura�ng the ISA Steel Conclave 2019 organised by Indian Steel Associa�on (ISA) here. In 2018-19, India ranked second in world crude steel produc�on a�er surpassing Japan. Of the total 1,804 million tonnes of steel produced globally during the year, more than half of the output came from China that stood at 945 million tonnes represen�ng its dominant posi�on.

This was followed by India and Japan with steel output at 106 million tonnes and 103 million tonnes respec�vely. "There is no reason why India cannot be a net exporter of steel. For the na�on to develop, we must promote domes�c industry and be a net exporter of steel," said Pradhan urging the industry to promote localisa�on and do the hand-holding for ancillary sectors.

Being a facilitator, he said, the government will con�nue to help the industry in overcoming various obstacles. The minister asked industry leaders to explore the possibili�es of pooling resources and developing common carrier facili�es. "The world is witnessing Industry 4.0 with big data, digi�sa�on and ar�ficial intelligence fundamentally changing the economy and society. Even in wake of such large-scale disrup�ons, steel con�nues to play an important role in building modern economies," he said. (ANI)
