4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

During my eight weeks of summer training in the Bhilai Steel Plant, I have done project research work on “Study on Marketing & Sales analysis of Secondary Products”. The project report tells us about the secondary product section and the whole process, starting from collection of scrap to the lifting of material and its distribution. The initial part of the report tells about SAIL and importance & performance of Bhilai Steel Plant in the steel authority. It also tells about the contribution of Bhilai Steel Plant to Sail‟s profit. The next part describes the procedure of selling & distribution the secondary product. And the major consumer of BSP in this field. It also throws light on use of secondary products for re-rolling mills as raw material and the process of re-rolling and its products. The finding of my study emphases the problem which I have observed. Such as refund of payment procedure, price list of material, which is not available in the stockyard, all the marketing decision relating to prime product are taken by the SAIL and carried out by CMO. In my opinion the organization is more concerned with larger order of steel products by ignoring the smaller orders of steel products. The exports policy of SAIL considers it secondary to domestic selling as it is a Govt. undertaking and first priority is given to domestic marketing. The conclusion deals with the objective of Bhilai Steel Plant to achieve sales analysis of secondary products. The last portion conclusion & recommendation to improve the functioning of marketing department of Bhilai Steel Plant.

CHAPTER -1

INTRODUCTION

STEEL ATHOURITY OF INDIA LIMITED (SAIL)

During struggle for independence, Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru our first prime minister of independent India had a very clear vision about the role of steel in the

7 development of our nation. Although Tata Iron & Steel Co. 9TISCO) established in 1907 marking the beginning of Indian Steel industry followed by Indian Steel Corporation (1918) they were too small to meet the development requirement of a big country like ours. Therefore, in the first industrial policy resolution of the government soon after independence, government decided to establish steel plant in Public Sector only. However work could be started at faster pace in 1954 when. Hindustan Steel Limited was formed and the steel plants of 1 MT capacity of each were established with provision of further expansion at Bhilai, Rourkela and Durgapur with assistance from USSR, West Germany and UK respectively.

Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) is the leading steel-making company in India. It is fully integrated Iron and Steel maker, producing both basic and special steel for domestic, construction, Engineering, Power, Railway, Automotive and Defense industries and for sale in export markets.
