The Global Economic Forecast: Asia poised to be the emerging power house of growth

• In 2020, the US and China will still be the two largest economies in the world (in PPP) • India leaves Japan behind and moves up to 3rd place • India, Malaysia and China will post the highest GDP growth rates (above 5%) over 2006-20 4 • Ireland, the US and Spain are the rich countries expected to grow the most

Indian Economy

ƒ GDP per capita to increase from USD 2500 and USD 5000 in 2020. ƒ Poverty ratio dropped from 50% of population in 1950 to 26% in 2005. ƒ Economic growth rate ~ 8% ƒ Population growth rate of 1.3 - 1.5% ƒ 33% population below 15 years and 5% above 65 years ƒ House hold savings rate go up from current 23% to 30% ƒ 100,000 MW new capacity (90% of present) in next 7 years. ƒ The Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act ƒ Literacy standards increase from 18% in 1951 to 65% in 2002. 5

- Fines are mostly being exported - DRI route uses 100% lumps, detrimental to mineral conservation - Economies of scale not available with large number of small players to set up sintering / pelletization facilities

- Increasing use of fines in agglomerates in bigger size blast furnaces can 14 increase its productivity and bring down cost/tss

Imperative – Need for conservation and resource enhancement Conservation ….for future Challenges o Scientific Mining - Selective mining of high grade o Agglomeration capacity lumpy ores (DRI). o Use of pellets for DRI o Beneficiation. - Many low volume producers o Technology for using - Mismatch in agglomeration Slimes capacity and fines generation. o Restricting exports.

- Lower production (33%) routed Enhancement … through beneficiation. o Detailed / Scientific - Increasing exports. Exploration

Indigenous Coal Imported Coal Demand Domestic Supply

- The additional demand for coking coal will be 70 mt by 2020 for 110 mt steel demand as per national steel policy - For coking coal, dependence on imports to continue

Need to conserve the scarce coking coal resources

Challenges Conservation of resources for future use -High ash o Beneficiating - Poor washability o Improving washing capacity / efficiency - Over 40% coking coal used o Technology using for thermal use. medium coking coal for - 70% demand met through coke making imports o Steel making technology using non-coking coal - Low domestic availability* Enhancement of capacity o Developing new sources o Detailed exploration

21

*Coal Strategy: Reducing coking coal requirements Mining: - Beneficiation technology - Improving mining / washing process efficiency Coke & Sinter Making - Quality Coke from semi coking indigenous coal. - Using low ash imported coal for blending - Reducing Alumina level in iron ore for improving sinter & BF productivity and reducing coke requirement Iron Making: - Pulverized Coal Injection using semi/non coking coal - Tar Injection - Using more pellets - Using sponge iron for feed

• Ferro-Chrome industry in India is highly fragmented • >98% Chrome ore reserves in Orissa. • Chrome ore tons expected to ~ 10 mt by 2020. • High conversion cost to Ferro Chrome due to high power cost

Globally competitive power tariffs to avoid shift to countries where power is cheaper.

Therefore …. • Need to explore and develop more high grade Mn resources • Beneficiation to improve the lower grade coupled with sintering 25 Source: Mineral Commodities Summary: 2002, IBM

Evolution of India’s Regulatory Environment 1950 ~ 1991 – Tightly regulated industry

ƒ Iron ore reserved for Public Sector Companies

ƒ Growth subjected to “Industries (Development & Regulation) Act 1951”

ƒ Pricing regulated by “JPC Price Mechanism”

ƒ Distribution subjected to controls such as “Freight Equalization Scheme”

ƒ Foreign Investment discouraged

ƒ Foreign trade regulated by Canalization policy

An Industry insulated from Market forces 27

Evolution of India’s Regulatory Environment…

1991 onwards : Economic Liberalisation

ƒ Steel Sector opened to private participation

ƒ Included in list of “High Priority” industries

ƒ Up to 100% FDI allowed in prospecting & mining Iron ore

ƒ No separate approval for prospecting and mining necessary

ƒ Decanalisation of low grade Iron Ore (Fe<64%) trade.

ƒ Decanalisation of high grade Iron Ore (Fe>64%) - Export

Challenges & Policies for meeting growth demand

Challenges Policy Reforms under consideration - Fragmented capacities o Minimum production - Unscientific operations levels for lease grant - Inadequate power & transport o Scientific Mining and infrastructure Mineral Beneficiation o Lease grant solely on the - Delay in grant / renewal of basis of technical & mineral leases financial capability o FDI & private sector participation for infrastructure development o Time bound grant/renewal process29

Challenges & Policies for meeting the growth demand Policies reforms under consideration o Creation of land bank / private sector participation in afforestation Challenges o Social / Environment cost to be seen - Long drawn process in Long Term perspective for land/forest/ o Transparent implementation of the environmental laws clearance o Technology / private participation - Socio/political for detailed exploration pressures o Large area prospecting license o Linking iron ore resources to - Limited iron ore / integrated and other steel plants coking coal reserves o De-nationalization of coal mines o De-reserving areas for private sector for a level playing field 30
