Executive summary
Margins to soften over next 2–3 quartersHigh and rising input costs would lead to softening of the domestic steel industry’s margins over the next 2 – 3
quarters. CRISIL Research expects the operating profit margin (OPM) of players without captive iron ore mines
to fall by 200 – 300 basis points (bps) to 21-22 per cent in 2007-08 as against 24 per cent in 2006-07. The OPM
would remain more or less stable at 21-22 per cent in 2008-09.
Though players owning captive iron ore mines are insulated from the escalating iron ore prices, their margins too
will face pressure from increasing coke prices. CRISIL Research expects the OPM of such players to decline to
nearly 34 per cent in 2007-08 as compared with 36 per cent in 2006-07, and remain at this level in 2008-09.

Input costs to firm up
Prices of iron ore fines (at mine gate) are expected to increase from Rs 1,350 per tonne in 2006-07 to Rs 1,500 per
tonne in 2007-08 and Rs 1,750 per tonne in 2008-09. Similarly, prices of iron ore lumps (at mine gate) are likely
to rise from Rs 2,700 per tonne in 2006-07 to Rs 3,100 per tonne in 2007-08 and Rs 3,400 per tonne in 2008-09.
Domestic coke prices are also forecast to surge from Rs 8000 per tonne in 2006-07 to Rs 11,000 per tonne in
2007-08 and further to Rs 11,500-12,000 per tonne in 2008-09. The demand pull is not the sole reason for rising
prices. Prices of coking coal, out of which coke is manufactured, increased from $ 94 per tonne in the first half of
2006-07 to $ 115 per tonne in the first half of 2007-08, with current prices ruling at $ 140-150 per tonne.
Steel prices to also inch northwards
According to CRISIL Research, the high and rising operating rates of steel manufactures worldwide will enable
them to pass on a significant portion of the increase in input costs by way of higher steel prices. Subsequently,
international steel prices (FOB CIS, Black Sea) are likely to augment from $ 566 per tonne in the first half of
2007-08 to $ 600 per tonne in the same period in 2007-08 and further to $ 620 in 2008-09.
Domestic steel prices are also forecast to increase from Rs 32,400 per tonne in 2006-07 to Rs 34,000 per tonne in
2007-08 and further to Rs 34,500 per tonne in 2008-09.

Limited scope for growth in China’s steel consumption
An analysis of the steel consumption in the US and China leads CRISIL Research to conclude that the buoyancy
in growth of Chinese steel demand would continue for not more than 3–4 years; the same is likely to decelerate
for a few years thereafter.
During 1992-2006, Chinese steel off-take for capital-based applications such as construction, infrastructure and
manufacturing capital goods was nearly 2.3 billion tonnes. This implies consumption of 236 tonnes per square
kilometer of land in China.
Between 1941 and 1975, the phase of major economic growth in the US, the steel off-take for similar capital-
based applications was around 2.1 billion tonnes. This translates into consumption of 230 tonnes per square
kilometer of land in the US.
Thus, we can conclude that the scope for growth in steel demand for capital-based applications, which accounts
for nearly 90 per cent of steel off-take in China, is very limited, even if we consider greater steel intensity in
infrastructural and construction applications and more high rises. Consequently, China’s demand for long
products that are primarily used for construction would slow down considerably over the next 8–10 years.
On the other hand, if we consider consumption-based applications, like steel used in manufacturing automobiles
and consumer durables, the per capita penetration is low in China as compared with the US. Consumption-based
applications amounted to 30 million tonnes in the US and 36 million tonnes in China in 2006. This translates into
per capita usage of steel of 99 kilograms (kg) for US and merely 27 kg for China. Therefore, although these
applications currently account only for 10–12 per cent of steel off-take in China, there still exists tremendous potential for their growth in the country.

Review
Operating margin remains almost stable in the first half of 2007-08The OPM of the domestic steel industry (sample includes Tata Steel, SAIL, JSW Steel, Ispat Industries and Essar
Steel – Set 1) remained stable at 30.5 per cent in the first half of 2007-08, as compared with 30.6 per cent in the
corresponding period in 2006-07.
Players with no captive iron ore mines (Ispat Industries and Essar Steel – Set 2) reported OPM of 20.6 per cent in
this period vis-a-vis 21.8 per cent in the first half of 2006-07. This modest drop in margins is explained by
proportionately higher increase in the cost of inputs (mainly iron ore), vis-à-vis steel prices.
The OPM of players with captive iron ore mines (Tata Steel and SAIL – Set 3) was 33.4 per cent in the first half of 2007-08 vis-a-vis 33.1 per cent in the first half of 2006-07. These players were shielded from the sharp rise in
iron ore prices. Rather, they gained from the portion of steel price increase resulting from higher iron ore costs.

Input costs increase…
The cost of key raw materials increased in the first half of 2007-08 as compared with the same period last year.
Tight demand-supply balance and increase in landed costs – due to the sharp increase in freight costs - were
responsible for the same. As per industry sources, the freight cost between Australia/Indonesia to India increased
from $20 per tonne to $45 per tonne during the said period. Currently, the cost is estimated at $65 per tonne.
Contract prices of iron ore increased by nearly 9–10 per cent. According to industry sources, the prices of lumps
increased from nearly Rs 2,650 per tonne in the first half of 2006-07 to Rs 2,900 per tonne in the first half of
2007-08. Similarly, prices of fines rose from nearly Rs 1,350 per tonne in the first half of 2006-07 to Rs 1,500 per
tonne in the same period in 2007-08. The increase in spot market prices was much sharper.
Prices of coke also increased from Rs 8,000 per tonne in the first half of 2006-07 to Rs 11,000 per tonne in the
first half of 2007-08; in November 2007, prices were quoted at around Rs 14,000–15,000 per tonne. The rise in
coke prices can be attributed in part to higher coking coal (input) prices. The landed cost of coking coal, which is
largely imported by India, increased from around Rs 5,500 per tonne in the first half of 2006-07 to Rs 6,250 per
tonne in the corresponding period in 2007-08.

…but players manage to pass on the same to some extent
Domestic steel prices increased from Rs 32,913 per tonne in the first half of 2006-07 to Rs 33,805 per tonne in the
first half of 2007-08, signifying a 2.7 per cent year-on-year increase. However, the landed cost dropped by 7.3 per
cent from Rs 35,288 per tonne in the first half of 2006-07 to Rs 32,709 per tonne in the first half of 2007-08.
International steel prices actually increased by 4.3 per cent from $542 per tonne in the first half of 2006-07 to
$566 per tonne in the first half of 2007-08. However, the 10.9 per cent depreciation of US dollar vis-à-vis Indian
rupee has led to lower landed costs.
Domestic manufacturers had not increased prices in line with the rise in landed costs last year following resistance
from the end-user industry as well as inflationary concerns by the government. Now, after the decline in landed
costs, domestic prices are more or less aligned to the same.

Topline witnesses healthy growth
The topline of the sample companies increased by 13.2 per cent to Rs 398 million in the first half of 2007-08 from
Rs 352 million in the same period last year. The volume growth contributed around 800 – 900 basis points,
whereas the growth in realisations (both absolute as well as on account of increase in share of value added
products) contributed the balance 400 – 500 basis points to the topline growth.

Outlook
Players to face some margin pressureCRISIL Research believes that players who do not own captive iron ore mines may experience a decline in the
OPM over the next few quarters. The OPM of such players would decline by 200-300 bps to nearly 21-22 per cent
in 2007-08 as against 24 per cent in 2006-07. The OPM would remain more or less stable at 21-22 per cent in
2008-09.
Though players owning captive iron ore mines are insulated from the sharp surge iron ore prices, they will also
face pressure on margins due to increasing coke prices. CRISIL Research expects the OPM of such players to
decline to nearly 34 per cent in 2007-08 as against 36 per cent in 2006-07, and remain at this level in 2008-09.
Input costs to firm up
Over the past 3-4 years, iron ore prices have witnessed a sharp uptrend - prices of iron ore fines (at mine gate)
have increased from Rs 800 per tonne in 2004-05 to Rs 1,350 per tonne in 2006-07. CRISIL Research expects the
same to cost Rs 1,500 per tonne in 2007-08 and Rs 1,750 per tonne in 2008-09. Similarly, the prices of iron ore
lumps (at mine gate) have increased from Rs 1,175 per tonne in 2004-05 to Rs 2,700 per tonne in 2006-07.
CRISIL Research expects the same to cost Rs 3,100 per tonne in 2007-08 and Rs 3,400 per tonne in 2008-09.
Global iron ore (fines) spot prices, which have risen from $65 per tonne in the first half of 2006-07 to $100 per
tonne in the same period in 2007-08, are currently ruling at around $120-130 per tonne. The contract price for 2007-08 is at $82 per tonne vis-à-vis $75 per tonne in 2006-07. As per industry sources, the contract price for
2008-09 is expected to be negotiated at around $120-125 per tonne; spot prices would more or less remain firm at
this level.
Coke prices have also escalated in the last 3 – 4 months. Domestic coke prices have increased to Rs 11,000 per
tonne in the first half of 2007-08 from Rs 8000 per tonne in the corresponding period last year. CRISIL Research
expects the same to touch Rs 11,500-12,000 per tonne in 2008-09. Prices increased because of both demand pull
and cost push – the prices of coking coal, the raw material for coke, increased from $94 per tonne in the first half
of 2006-07 to $115 per tonne in the same period in 2007-08, with current prices ruling at $140-150 per tonne.
In addition to robust demand, rising freight costs have fuelled the price rise of iron ore and coking coal. The Baltic
exchange dry bulk index (BDI), the benchmark index of shipping freight for dry bulk cargo, rose to 6590 in the
first half of 2007-08 from around 3070 in the corresponding period last year. Currently, the BDI is quoted at
nearly 10,000 - 10,500.

CRISIL RESEARCH STEEL PRODUCTS UPDATE: DECEMBER 2007, 14 PAGES 7
Steel prices to inch northwards
International steel prices (FOB CIS, Black Sea) are forecast to augment from $566 per tonne in the first half of
2007-08 to $600 per tonne in the second half and further to $620 in 2008-09. The global operating rates of the
steel industry are already high at 90 per cent and are increasing. Hence, a significant portion of the increase in
input costs is expected to be passed on by way of higher steel prices.
Although significant capacity additions have been lined up, especially in China and India, the same is not
sufficient to match demand growth. As against incremental demand of around 270 million tonnes between 2006
and 2009, capacity addition is expected to be around 250 million tonnes. Accordingly, operating rates are forecast
to inch up from 90 per cent in 2006 to 92 per cent in 2009.
Domestic steel prices are also expected to increase from Rs 32,400 per tonne in 2006-07 to Rs 34,000 per tonne in
2007-08 and further to Rs 34,500 per tonne in 2008-09. The increase in domestic prices is expected to be
relatively lower than that in international prices due to further appreciation likely in rupee vis-à-vis the US dollar.
This would not only exert pressure on domestic prices that largely move in tandem with landed costs, but will also
pressurise export realisations.
Limited scope for growth in China’s steel consumption
During 1992-2006, steel consumption registered a CAGR of 12.3 per cent; the critical question that arises is –
how long will the growth momentum sustain?
CRISIL Research believes the scope for further growth in Chinese demand for steel is limited. Demand growth is
likely to decelerate significantly over the next 8–10 years. Therefore, we believe the growth momentum will
continue only for next 3 – 4 years.
Methodology
We have tried to study the pattern of steel consumption by the US and have attempted to make a comparison with
China and India.
Firstly, we have segregated the steel off-take for all three countries into capital-based and consumption-based
applications. The former includes steel used for construction (real estate, infrastructure and industrial), and
manufacturing capital or engineering goods, whereas the latter includes steel used for manufacturing automobiles
and consumer durables. Thus, rising infrastructural and fixed asset investments would drive capital-based demand
for steel, whereas rising consumer expenditure would boost consumption-based demand. The division is based on
current steel application pattern for each country as adjusted for the trends in the end-user industry.
Subsequently, we have made an effort to identify the period during which fixed asset and infrastructural
investment have been the highest as the growth phase in the economy of each country.
Accordingly, the period between 1941 and 1975 has been identified as the growth phase in the US economy.
During this period, which followed the famous economic crisis of 1930 and World War Two, sizeable fixed assetinvestments were made in the US.

Phase II (1941-1970) 5.6
Phase III (1971-2006) 0.7
During this phase, the cumulative capital-based off-take of steel was around 2,100 million tonnes. This translates
into consumption of 230 tonnes per square kilometer of land (9.2 million square kilometers).
Similarly, the period between 1992 and 2006 has been identified as the growth phase in the Chinese economy.
China saw significant fixed capital and infrastructural investments during this period. The country opened up its
economy for trade and FDI (open door policy) in the early 1990s. Since then, FDI surged from $11 billion in 1992
to $75 billion in 2006 (CAGR 14.7 per cent). Low labour costs made China competitive in many manufactured
goods, which led to increasing investments in capital goods.

During this phase, the cumulative capital based off-take of steel was around 2,300 million tonnes. This denotes
consumption of 236 tonnes per square kilometer of land (9.3 million square kilometers). Thus, it has already
achieved the level as that of US.
1992-2006 has been identified as the growth phase for the Indian economy as well. Post liberalisation of India’s
industry policy in 1991, FDI has been increasingly promoted in the country. Accordingly, the Indian economy has
started seeing increasing fixed asset investments. With falling interest rates, both consumption and capital
investments started witnessing significant growth in the last 4–5 years.

Phase II (1992-2001) 6.9
Phase II (2002-2006) 10.5
During this phase, the cumulative capital based off-take of steel was around 355 million tonnes. This translates to
consumption of merely 119 tonnes per square kilometer of land (3 million square kilometers).
Conclusion
Long products
As per the above analysis, potential for further growth in steel demand for capital-based applications, which
accounts for nearly 90 per cent of steel off-take in China, is very limited even if we consider increase in steel
intensity in infrastructural and construction applications and more number of high rises. As a result, double-digit
growth in Chinese demand for long products, which are primarily used for construction, is unlikely to last beyond
next 3–4 years. Thereafter, demand growth will slow down significantly for few years. US steel demand also
plunged during the late 1970’s and early 1980’s after posting robust growth during 1941-1975.
However, India still has a long way to go in infrastructural and industrial investments. Consequently, demand for
long products is expected to register growth of 11–12 per cent per annum over the next 8–10 years.

Flat products
If we consider consumption-based applications, the per capita penetration continues to be low in China as well as
India. In 2006, consumption-based applications amounted to 30 million tonnes in US, 36 million tonnes in China
and 4 million tonnes in India. This translates into per capita consumption of 99 kg for US, 27 kg for China and 4
kg for India. Thus, we can conclude that there still exists huge scope for growth in steel demand for these
applications in China and India.
Hence, demand for flat products, which are mainly used for consumption based applications like manufacturing
automobiles and consumer durables, is expected grow by 11–12 per cent per annum over the next 8–10 years in
both these countries.
