13 WorldReginfo - fbe2b811-0cb1-4550-95ff-76125a26934d A dialogue with the CEO and CFO
Where do you see the global economy and the global steel market today? And where does India stand? During the last 12 months, global economic growth has picked up and has been broad-based. Many developed economies witnessed recovery in investments and domestic demand and there was a general buoyancy in the labour markets with low level on unemployment. Amongst the larger economies, China witnessed a gradual slowdown in the economic activity but continued to grow in line with expectations. Global steel markets continued their recovery in FY 2017-18 as the global steel demand grew by approximately 2% as compared to the previous year. Steel exports from China declined due to capacity closures leading to a favourable demand-supply balance both in China as well as in the international markets. This resulted in improved capacity utilisations in the industry, better steel prices and spreads, resulting in an improved industry performance for the year.
India too witnessed growth in steel demand owing to growth across the steel consuming sectors and the Government’s continuous push on infrastructure spending. We believe that the steel demand in India will continue to increase in the future with increased capital and infrastructure investments, including the Make in India initiative, higher urbanisation trends, focus on a wider and more inclusive banking network and transition to a more formal economy, including digital initiatives even in rural areas. The Government’s initiatives to Performance of the strengthen the domestic steel industry are also reflected in the National Steel Policy. The Policy endeavours to make the Indian steel industry self-sufficient, sustainable, efficient, Tata Steel Group in cost efficient and internationally competitive. Tata Steel’s long-term strategy is to focus on FY 2017-18 growing in India. This year has been particularly significant for the Indian steel industry, with several ‘stressed’ steel assets being put under the insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings. The outcome of the process is going to change the industry structure, resulting in consolidation within the industry and/or entry of new players. Our consolidated How has the Tata Steel Group performed in FY 2018? revenues stood at The performance of the Tata Steel Group in FY 2017-18 has been quite satisfying. Our consolidated revenues stood at ₹1,33,016 Cr. as against ₹1,17,420 Cr., reflecting an increase `1,33,016 Cr. of 13% over the previous year. The EBITDA for the year at ₹22,045 Cr. was 29.5% higher than the previous year. During the year, we reported a consolidated PAT of ₹17,763 Cr. as against as against a consolidated loss of ₹4,169 Cr. in the previous year. The profit includes an exceptional gain due to non-cash accounting surplus arising from the formation of the new British Steel `1,17,420 Cr., reflecting Pension Scheme (BSPS). an increase of 13% over the previous year What measures have you taken to optimise growth in India? FY 2017-18 has been an important year for Tata Steel. We had, at the beginning of the year, expressed our intentions to increase our capacity in India and significantly grow in line with the market demands. We are happy to report that our efforts have shown a positive and The EBITDA for the rewarding outcome. We were successful in our endeavour to ramp up operations at our greenfield plant in Kalinganagar, Odisha. The plant has achieved its rated capacity and is in year at its next phase of expansion, which is progressing well. We have also successfully completed the acquisition of Bhushan Steel Limited under the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code, 2016. `22,045 Cr. This acquisition will allow Tata Steel to make optimum utilisation of the facilities at Bhushan Steel. This will help us to supplement our existing facilities and will also provide us with was 29.5% higher than the opportunity to scale-up our operations at a faster pace in India, thereby expanding our the previous year footprint in the country.

Can you comment on the restructuring scheme. We expect that the new scheme will be more sustainable activities at Tata Steel Europe? for the future.

15 WorldReginfo - fbe2b811-0cb1-4550-95ff-76125a26934d will help us achieve our objective with regard to having a wider European portfolio strategy and diversify our business in the region. Through this joint venture, we expect to derive significant synergies and improve our capacity utilisations in Europe. We expect the transaction to be completed by the end of this year. Can you provide your views on the financing strategy of the Company? As we mentioned earlier, the Company is pursuing organic as well as inorganic growth prospects. We are continuously reviewing our financing requirements to fund the Company’s growth projects and capital expenditure programmes and to maintain a strong liquidity position.
During the year, the Board approved the overall financing plan for the Tata Steel Group. Accordingly, the Company issued fully and partly paid ordinary shares by way of rights issue aggregating to ₹12,800 Cr., being one of the largest issues in the country. Also, ABJA Investment Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Steel, issued a dual tranche of USD1.3 billion unsecured bonds in the international markets. The success of both these issues are a testimony to the investors’ confidence in the long-term strategy of the Company.
We also periodically review our investment portfolio. During the year, we realised approximately ₹3,500 Cr. through portfolio divestment. What are the new initiatives of the Tata Steel Group? While our primary focus is on growth and expansion, our focus over the next decade will also be to work towards becoming an industry leader in research and development.
