Chapter-I HIGHLIGHTS 1.1 TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS IN STEEL SECTOR • India maintains its position of being the 4th largest producer of crude steel in the world and is expected to become the 2nd largest producer of crude steel soon. • India is the largest producer of direct reduced iron (DRI) or sponge iron. • In the five years corresponding to the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-2017), domestic demand of total finished steel is likely to grow at an annual average growth of over 10% as compared to the average annual growth of 8% achieved between 1991-92 and 2010-11. • In order to meet the growing demand, 301 MoUs have been signed with various states for a planned capacity of around 488.66 million tonnes by 2019-20. • Major proposed investments are in the states of Odisha, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal. • The proposed steel capacity addition in the country is likely to result in an investment of Rs.5-10 lakh crore by 2020. • Crude Steel capacity in the country stood at 99.57mtpa in 2013-14 (provisional) as against 97.02 mtpa in 2012-13. • Crude steel production was 81.54 million tonnes in 2013-14 (provisional) as against 78.42 million tonnes in 2012-13. • Per capita consumption of steel in the country has risen from 45 kg in 2008-09 to about 60 kg in 2013-14. • The steel sector contributes nearly 2% of the country’s GDP and employs over 6 lakh people. During 2013-14 (prov.), the following is the industry scenario as compared to same period of last year: • Production of crude steel was at 81.540 million tonnes, a growth of 4% compared to 2012-13. The Main Producers produced 25.930 million tonnes during this period, which was a growth of 5.4% compared to last year. The Major Producers produced 18.308 million tonnes during this period, which was a decline of 0.6 % compared to last year. The rest i.e. 37.302 million tonnes was the contribution of the Other Producers, which was a growth of 5.4% compared to last year. • Pig iron production for sale was 7.289 million tonnes (a growth of 6.1% compared to last year), after accounting for own consumption/IPT. The Main Producers accounted for 8% of the same, the rest (92%) being the share of the Majors and Other Producers. • In case of total finished steel (alloy + non-alloy) during 2013-14 (prov.): • Production for sale was 85.05 million tonnes, an increase of 4.1% compared to last year. • Export reached 5.59 million tonnes, an increase of 4.2% compared to last year. • Import was 5.45 million tonnes, a decline of 31.3% compared to last year. • India was a net exporter of total finished steel. • Real Consumption was 73.89 million tonnes, an increase of 0.6% compared to last year. 1.2 Major Initiatives taken by the Ministry of Steel during the year • To ensure easy availability of raw material in domestic market at reasonable prices, export duty on iron ore @ 30 % and export duty on iron ore pellet @ 5% were imposed. Export of iron ore fell from 117.37 million tonnes in 2009-10 to 12.24 million tonnes in 2013-14. • Ministry of Steel has been awarded the ISO 9001:2008 certificate. It has become the first Ministry under Central Government to be awarded such certificate. 2 Annual Report 2013-14 • Process of drafting of ‘New National Steel Policy’ to replace the existing National Steel Policy,2005 for development of steel industry with the focus on achieving the targeted production of 300 mtpa of steel, is underway. • A “Long Term Perspective for Steel Sector” to achieve targeted capacity of 300 million tonne is being prepared. • A Task Force has been set up to identify the R&D and Technology Development needs of the country in Iron & Steel sector and also to evolve institutional mechanism. • Ministry of Steel is actively engaged in fast tracking decisions/resolution of issues of steel sector projects, which are delayed, in association with the Project Monitoring Group (PMG) constituted by the Cabinet Committee on Investment (CCI). • Inter Ministerial Group (IMG) meetings under the Chairmanship of Secretary (Steel) are being held regularly to sort out infrastructure constraints of Steel industry and other related raw material issues. • Steps have been taken for raw material securitization through MoUs, MoAs and LoIs with Afghanistan, Japan, Brazil, Uruguay, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Canada and Poland. • Under the Steel Development Fund(SDF) assisted scheme, 83 projects have been approved so far with total cost of Rs.696.27 crore with SDF assistance of Rs.389.36 crore. Under the Plan Fund Scheme, 09 R&D projects have been approved with a total cost of Rs.125.20 crore involving Plan Fund of Rs.89.22 crore. • There are about 1800 steel re-rolling mills in India and most of them have adopted old and obsolete technologies resulting in very high energy consumption and GHG emission. To address the issues, Ministry of Steel implemented an Energy efficiency improvement project in selective Re- Rolling Mills in India in collaboration with UNDP and GEF. The project has resulted in significant saving (20-50%) in fossil fuel consumption leading to equivalent reduction in GHG emission. Encouraged by the results of the project, UNDP, Ministry of Steel and Government of Australia has initiated a new energy efficiency improvement project in the SME sector. • Sevottam Compliant Citizen’s Charter being implemented by the Ministry of Steel to provide prompt services to citizens/clients has been updated. • Various work processes in the Ministry of Steel reviewed and scope of discretion minimized. • A LAN enabled tracking and monitoring service for Parliament assurances, audit paras, dak diary and file movement has been made fully operational in the Ministry • E-Requisition, Stock & Inventory Management System, Officer on Tour Information System, E- Submission & Approval System, Knowledge Management System and Steel MIS have been made operational on Ministry via Intranet Portal. • Ministry of Steel in association with Steel Industry put up “Steel Pavillion” at India International Trade Fair, 2013 where several items of Steel and mining sector were showcased. 1.3 Major Expansion/Acquisitions/Joint Ventures by PSEs Steel Authority of India Ltd.

It is expected that with improved ease of doing business in India, including the reform of labor laws, rationalization of land acquisition, and faster provision of transport and connectivity infrastructure, both foreign and domestic investment will pick up in manufacturing. The hope is that the rate of growth of manufacturing will accelerate and the share of manufacturing in GDP, which has been stagnant at about 15 per cent for the last three decades, will increase to 25 per cent.

  • 1 REPORT INTRODUCTORY Steel Is Key to the Development of Any
    REPORT INTRODUCTORY Steel is key to the development of any country and is considered to be the mainstay of the human civilization. The level of per capita consumption of steel is treated as economic indicator of a country. All major industrial economies are characterized by the existence of a strong steel industry and the growth of many of these economies has been largely shaped by the strength of their steel industries in this initial stages of development. India has been one of the major producers of steel in the world. Prior to the economic reforms of the early 1990s, the Steel Industry of India was regulated and controlled by the Government Policies. After liberalization the Indian Steel Industry evolved significantly to conform to international standards. The India Steel Industry is expected to play a significant role in India‟s economic development in the years to come. Availability of iron ore in the country and well furnished facilities for steel productions are the major aspects which will play a major role in the growth of the steel industry in India. The domestic steel industry has a tremendous growth potential and likely to register significant growth in the coming years in view of the rising demand of steel in infrastructure and realty sectors. However, one of the major initiatives that need to be taken is to focus on increasing consumption of steel in the rural areas. In order to realize the growth potential in the steel sector, it is imperative that the steel industry remain competitive. The availability of critical inputs such as iron ore and coke is equally important for sustainable growth of the industry.
