Executive Summary
This report provides an elaboration of the steel industry of India as well highlights the comparison parameters of
the current and prospective profitability, liquidity and financial stability of two major players of the industry – Jindal
Steel Works Ltd. and Steel Authority of India Ltd.
The analysis of the players includes trend prevalent in the industry, horizontal and vertical analysis of the
organizations as well as ratios such as Interest Coverage, Solvency, Profitability and Performance. Other
calculations include Z-Score analysis, Financial Statements Case analysis and Total Assets and earnings per share
to name a few.
All calculations can be found in the attached excel files. Results of data analyzed show that SAIL has had a drastic
downturn for the last five years whereas JSW has improved its value in the market by adoption of certain new
technologies at timely intervals.
The report finds the prospects of the companies in their respective current positions are not positive. The major
areas of weakness require further investigation and remedial action by management.
Some challenges that are being faced by the company as discovered during the Qualitative Analysis of the
organizations are,
There have been multiple fluctuations in the market and the numerous possibilities of China's entrance into
the exporting markets
Thought the domestic demand has remained untapped and unfulfilled, there is a reduced demand for steel
across the world, due to the current economic scenario.
Taking into consideration the above challenges and understanding the financial as well as non-financial statuses of
both the companies, some of the recommendations discussed in the report are as follows:
Both the companies have the capacity to improve their respective cost structures to improve their interest
coverage ratios respectively
Jindal Steel Works needs to reduce the eternal risk levels by the acquisition of captive mines as that is one
of the major weaknesses that the organization faces
There are multiple untapped rural segment demands, that the organizations are still not focusing upon
The industry looks optimistic due to the increasing demands for infrastructure and developments across the
country.

Economic Analysis
Current Economy Analysis of India
• India to see double digit growth around 8-10% in GDP in coming years.
• Current account deficit to decline to about 1% in 2015-16
• India need to adhere to fiscal deficit of 4.1% of GDP to aim for 3%
• India needs to be committed to fiscal consolidation to enhance revenue generation.
• More reforms need to be created for anvil, GST to expand direct benefit transfers to be effective.
• Food grains production will exceed last 5 year average by 8.5 million tons.
• Niti Ayog to enhance fiscal federalism.
• External sectors will be gaining strength.
• Balance required between “Make in India” and “”Skilling India”
• Services sector negotiations to be done at WTO which is crucial for removing market access
barriers.
• Manufacturing and services are sectors equally important to grow.
• PPP model to be revitalized to revive reinvestment.
• BSE Sensex trading more than 200 points higher as per government tables
• Growth at market prices seen between 8.1-8.5 pct. in 2015/16 on basis of new GDP calculation
formula
• Inflation likely to be below target of central bank by 0.5 – 1 %
• Gold imports into India, the world’s top consumer, jumped 55 per cent to 57.2 tons in January,
ahead of an expected cut in the import duty in Saturday’s Union Budget.

Future Performance of SAIL based on Economic Trends
• March quarter performance of JSW has been negatively affected by high input costs, low demand
and pricing pressure.
• Impairment also seen in abroad subsidiaries.
• Low demand and high input cost will lead to low production volumes.
• Operating income can drop per ton of steel sold.
• The sharp drop in operating income was due to lower realizations and lower operating.
• Reliance securities remain optimistic on JSW’s future performance despite of last quarter low
performance.
• Along with domestic pressures JSW is forced to face pressure from foreign subsidiaries.
• Above factors can lead to fall in consolidated revenue and consolidated operating profit decline.
• Only silver lining for JSW is that it believes that if systematic demand for steel would gradually
pick up, their business would stabilize.
9
Future Performance of JSW based on Economic Trends
• Should look forward to expansion of mines so that they do not have to procure ores from outside
market to meet demand.
• To avoid falling market share, SAIL should use strong marketing campaigns.
• Should resolve environment and forest clearance issues, and Sail's modernization and expansion
plan issues.
• Should integrate and operationalize upstream and downstream production facilities in short span
of time.
• Depressed steel prices will put lot of pressure on NRS (Net Realized sales), therefore SAIL should
increase their share of value added steels.
• Should undertake cost awareness initiatives when it comes to procuring funding for expansion
plans.
• It is pertinent that techno-economics of production are internationally benchmarked, and the latter
can't happen till the capitalization of all of the Sail's production units are balanced.

Industry Overview Background:
Indian Iron and steel industry is a century old. New industrial policy adopted by government of India has opened
it up for investment from private sector. Imports and FDI are other boosting factors. Huge demand is coming from automobile sector, real estate and infrastructure sector.
Current Scenario:
Steel sector in India accounts for nearly 2% of country’s Gross Domestic Product and employs around 600,000
employees.
Consumption:
India is second to China when it comes to consumption of iron and steel. However with rising incomes and iron
being raw material in many other industries like automobile infrastructure etc., demand of Iron and steel is bound
to rise. However India’s current per capita finished steel consumption is at 52 Kgs which is well below the world
average of 203 Kgs.
Industry Structure:
Iron and Steel industry can be divided mainly into 2 main sectors mainly public and private.
However on the basis of method of production used, industry can be divided into two different producers.
Integrated Producers: These are those who convert iron ore into steel. Big players under this category are
SAIL (Steel Authority of India Limited), TISCO (Tata Iron and Steel Company Limited) and RINL
(Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited)
Secondary Producers: These are mini plants who make steel by melting scrap or sponge iron. Players in
this category are Essar Steel and Ispat Industries.
Investments:
As per the data released by DIPP (Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion) Indian mining and
metallurgical industries have got Foreign Direct Investment of US$1669.49 million US$8527.34 million
respectively in period of April 2000 to February 2015.
Challenges:
o Un-remunerative prices o High cost of capital
o Low labor productivity
o High costs of basic inputs and services
Opportunities:
o Unexplored rural market o Export market penetration

Five trends in India’s Steel Industry
Consolidation: Many mergers and acquisitions would be seen in order to get hold of land and regulatory
policies. o In December, JSW Steel agreed to buy a controlling stake in loss-making rival Ispat Industries that
would push its capacity to the top most position. It also agreed to buy Bellary Steel.
Doggedness of foreign firms: There have been lot of delays in success of joint venture of foreign and
Indian players due to land delays in approval. However these have discouraged none. Japan's JFE Holdings in talks with JSW for a stake buy.
Japan's Kobe Steel and SAIL in talks for a joint venture.
South Korean POSCO got an approval for its 12 million ton plant in eastern Orissa state last month after waiting since 2005, and its plans for another plant in Karnataka and a joint
venture with Steel Authority of India (SAIL) in Jharkhand remain.
Relocation of Smaller Plants: Investors are looking towards the west coast that has less iron ore, but is closer to Africa from where coking coal can be imported.
o JSW has chosen Karnataka state in the south for making new steel plants, away from east India that
is mineral rich, but is suffering due to land-acquisition problems.
Making use of low grade raw materials: Initially blast furnaces used to take iron ore lumps and coking coal. But now technology will enable them to use cheaper iron ore fines and non-coking coal which is
available in India in abundance.
o SAIL's joint venture plan with POSCO is for using the Finex technology that can use iron ore fines directly in the blast furnace.
Environmental awareness: New mining bill and stricter environmental rules have made companies to
26% of their profits to companies who take care of environment and society’

Analysis of Operations
Steel Authority of India Ltd.
SAIL majorly owns and operates in 5 Integrated Steel plants at Rourkela, Bhilai, Durgapur, Bokaro and Burnpur.
It also has 3 special steel plants at Salem, Durgapur and Bhadravathi. At Chandrapur it owns a Ferro Alloy plant as
well. The company is also planning to upgrade its facilities by expanding and modernizing programmers that will
an emphasis of having a greener approach.
The raw materials that are required by the plants are the iron ore. These requirements are met by the existing and
new iron ore deposits that are there in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh , Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha and
Karnataka. Only 24 % of the requirements of iron ore are met by these domestic deposits, rest of the raw material
are imported.
Production Overview
The Annual report of 2014-15 shows that Company achieved its highest ever Hot Metal production of 15.4 Million
Tone (MT) surpassing its previous best of 15.2 MT achieved in 2007-08. Each and every Integrated Steel Plant of
SAIL has achieved a breakthrough in operationalizing new units as stated below:
Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP) has stabilized performance of the new Sinter Machine in SP-3 and new Coke Oven
Battery-11 and has started trials in the new Rail Welding Plant which is a part of Universal Rail Mill.
At Durgapur Steel Plant (DSP), the new Bloom cum Round Caster has started trial production from Feb
2015 and is expected to stabilize soon.
At Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP), new Converter-C was commissioned and has been stabilized with maximum
of 21 heats. Similarly, the new Caster has also been ramped up achieving a production level of 28 casts in
a single day on 19/09/2014.
At Bokaro Steel Plant (BSP), new CRM-III has begun trials and will ramp up production after
commissioning of auxiliaries.
At IISCO Steel Plant (ISP), Burnpur, new BF-5, new SMS (currently operating with 2 Converters and 2
Casters) and new Bar Mill have been commissioned and operation of Wire Rod Mill has been stabilized.
A growth of 2% was achieved in its Crude Steel production volume as compared to last year. The Company has
also taken initiatives to reduce environmental footprint and enhance operational efficiency which have further led
to a significant improvement in environmental parameters as well as in Techno-economic efficiency.
18
Power
Average power requirement of SAIL Plants during the year was 1140 MW. This had increased by 60 MW from the
previous year due to commissioning of expansion facilities at RSP and ISP. Captive Power Plants supplied about
61% of the total power requirement and balance 39% was purchased from outside, mainly grid utilities.
The Company is in the process of upgrading Transmission & Distribution (T&D) facilities inside its Plants to
facilitate handling of higher quantum of power requirement after on-going expansion and improve the reliability of
power supply.
The Company also plans to augment its power generation capacity by installing new Captive Power Plants and also
by going into a joint venture with NTPC namely NTPC SAIL Power Company Private Limited (NSPCL).
Jindal Steel Works Ltd.
JSW owns and operates its steel plants at Vijayanagar, Salem, Dolvi, Vasind, Tarapur and Kalmeshwar.
The company also operates internationally. It has tied up with JEF Steel Corporation Japan where it produces high
quality automotive steel. In Republic of Chile, United States and Mozambique it has acquired mining assets and
has also joined venture for setting up a steel plant at Georgia.
Production Overview
Annual reports of 2014-15 show that the Company has scaled its highest ever net production of 7MT as compared
to 3.5 MT the previous year which enabled Raj West Power Limited (RWPL) plant to operate above its normative
capacity at Barmer. Certain production highlights of the year are:
• Vijayanagar Works has a capacity of 10 MTPA, is India’s first steel plant to use Corex technology
to manufacture steel. Produced 9.7 MnT of hot metal, an increase of 7.2% over FY 2013-14.
• The Dolvi Integrated Steel Plant with a capacity of 3.3 MTPA at a close proximity to a port beside
the complex which can handle cargo of up to 10 MTPA. Highest ever annual production volumes
were recorded during the year at the Sinter plant (~ 2.50 MnT) and Lime calcination plant (~ 0.32
MnT).
• The Salem Works manufactures customized special steel long products for use in the automobile
and energy sectors. It is India’s largest special steel manufacturing facility with a capacity of 1
MTPA. The cast production grew by 6% and the product production by 22% over the previous
year.
Power
The company saw a significant increase in power generation of 8.4% i.e. of 1,048.4 billion units (BU). The thermal
based power generation had fastest growth in generation at the rate of 10.83% while hydro based power generation
was 129 BU during the period.
Transmission Lines
Transmission lines of 22201 ckm were added during the previous year in 440 kV and 765 kV segment. During the
first three years of the plan period 55,956 ckm of (AC+HVDC) transmission lines have been added.
Sector Outlook
On a per capita basis India Consumes less than a fourth of what is consumed by China and less than a tenth of the
amount consumed by US. But due to a weak demand environment, that was led by the slowing down of
manufacturing sector the last few years, witnessed a tepid growth in power consumption.

Overall Assessment and Conclusion
Steel Authority of India Ltd. has an indefinite availability of iron ore mines. It has an abundance of efficient low
cost labor force. The managerial personnel of SAIL is also equipped with strong managerial capabilities, which
enables SAIL to emergence successfully in a globally competitive market. SAIL has a pretty strong ‘Direct Reduced
Iron’ production base and to harvest the same, it should focus on building new plants with modern technology and
modernizing existing/old plants.
To avoid falling market share, SAIL should use strong marketing campaigns. SAIL should focus on resolving its
various environment and forest clearance issues, and also its modernization and expansion plan issues.
It should strategize to integrate and operationalize upstream and downstream production facilities in short span of
time. Since, depressed steel prices will put lot of pressure on NRS (Net Realized sales), therefore SAIL should
increase their share of value added steels.
SAIL should undertake cost awareness initiatives especially when it comes to procuring funding for expansion
plans. It is pertinent that techno-economics of production are internationally benchmarked, and the latter can't
happen till the capitalization of all of the SAIL’s production units are balanced.
JSW has indefinite availability of iron ore mines combined with low cost labor force which is efficient as well. The
personnel have strong managerial capabilities. JSW is a globalized industry emerging in a globally competitive
market with focus on building new plants with modern technology and revamping existing/old plants. It has the
advantage of strong ‘Direct reduced iron’ production base.
The March quarter performance of JSW has been negatively affected by high input costs, low demand and pricing
pressure. Also impairment seen in the abroad subsidiaries. Operating income dropped due to lower realization which
can drop per ton of steel sold. Reliance securities remain optimistic on JSW’s future performance despite of last
quarter low performance along with domestic pressures it is forced to face pressure from foreign subsidiaries. Above
factors can lead to fall in consolidated revenue and consolidated operating profit decline
