We will make all endeavours to see that the 124 million tonne steel capacity, projected by the year 2011-12, is realized by way of policy facilitation and vigorous coordination efforts with the concerned State Governments and the Central Ministries. A key priority in the current year will be to expedite greenfield and brownfield capacity expansion, already in various stages of progress. During the current year the three Public Sector Units: SAIL, RINL and NMDC have planned to invest nearly Rs. 13,000 crore in their ongoing capex and modernisation projects. We intend to put in place a proactive mechanism for ensuring time bound progress for all these PSU projects. It will be our endeavour to ensure that all PSU steel projects are completed as per their targeted plans, without delays. A concerted effort will similarly be made for facilitating the completion of all major Private sector steel projects, so that these capacities are commissioned, as targeted. Integrated Steel Plant (ISP) of NMDC at Nagarnar, Chattisgarh NMDC has already decided in-principle to set up a 3 million tonne per annum (MTPA) Integrated Steel Plant at Nagarnar in Chattisgarh with a capital investment of Rs. 16,000 crore. 995 Acres of land is already in possession of NMDC for this plant.

Over last five years, Indian banks have witnessed strong (20% CAGR) loan growth. However, this has increasingly been driven by select few corporate groups; aggregate debt of these ten groups has jumped 5x in the past five years and now equates to 13% of bank loans and 98% of the banking system’s net worth. Therefore, surprisingly now in terms of the concentration risk, Indian banks rank higher than most of their Asian and BRIC counterparts. ■ Group financials stretched. With economic slowdown and largely similar sectoral exposure to sectors (power & metals) and multiple assets of each group stressed, financials of these groups are stretched. Average group debt to EBITDA for this set is 7.6x and already four of 10 have interest cover Previously published Reports (EBIT/P&L interest cost) of <1. Unwelcome clouds on the horizon ■ Some macro positives visible. Over the past few weeks, wholesale rates have moderated, domestic liquidity deficit has contracted and current account deficit Pockets of over-leverage visible appears to be narrowing.
