IMMENSE GROWTH POTENTIAL IN

INDIAN STEEL SECTOR Domestic crude steel production grew at a

compound annual growth rate of 8.4% in the last few years and is projected to be around 110 million tonne by 2012-13.

222 MoUs signed for planned capacity of around 276 MT by 2020 (challenge remains of how many translates into actual commissioning).

Investments at stake are to the tune of $187 billion

Increase in the demand of steel in India is expected to be 14% against the global average of 5-6%

THE STEEL GROWTH DRIVERS

Target for $ 1 trillion of investments in infrastructure during the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17).

Infrastructure projects (like Golden Quadrilateral and Dedicated Freight Corridor) will give boost to the demand in the steel sector in near future.

Projected New Greenfield & up-grading of existing Airports will keep the momentum up.

Government has identified ports, airports, railways, power, coal and road sectors for special monitoring of investment totalling around USD 40 billion in 2012-13.

Expected to increase by around 9% (or little less than 9% under present

circumstances) and can go up to >10% if the over all economic condition

improves

In developing phase, i.e. during infrastructure build-up period, the Steel growth

to GDP >>1 failing to <1 as services surpass manufacturing and the

infrastructure build is completed. India having a large service sector, the effect is

likely to be more pronounced

Indian steel outlook Forecasts for steel vary widely depending on the view of growth.

India’s steel production will be driven by large iron ore reserves, but

with very limited domestic met coal - imported coal is essential.

Although India has large coal reserves it is very short of prime HCC

Domestic Coking coal is characteristic of :-

o High ash

o Tends to have poor coke strength

o Requires imported high quality HCC

o Not really suitable for PCI

Domestic coking coal production has remained essentially flat for the past 10 years

Production has infact declined since 2004

Coke production has risen by almost 30% since 2004 and is poised to grow further

Securing Coking Coal Supply

Further development of domestic coking coal reserves

But there are significant hurdles in domestic captive coal block

development Time consuming processes for environmental & forest clearances

Problem of land acquisition – Resettlement and Rehabilitation issues

Joint allocation of mines

Inadequate experience in mine development of the private players

• Slow progress in domestic mine development has compelled steel

and merchant coke producers to look overseas for coal assets

• Due to inherent quality concerns, domestic coking coal will not

meet coke requirement of new large high productivity BF’s –

Import remains the only option to meet Indian coking coal

requirement

For India some new producers are closer – but other bottlenecks make them unviable

OTHER SOURCING OPTIONS Mozambique

Quality is an issue – high ash and P

Infrastructure development and mine to port connectivity is a major challenge

and capital intensive

Current ports are shallow, new rail and deep water ports necessary for full

commercialisation

Law & Order as well as political stability is a concern in long run

Has freight cost advantage for India due to proximity

However going by the existing constraints, total exports from Mozambique not

expected to be more than 15 MT before mid decade

Mongolia

Not conducive for Indian market due to obvious logistic constraint

Has emerged as the major exporter to China

Exports to China is done primarily through roads - poor roads & lack of rail

infrastructure brings with it uncertainty of coking coal transportation in

Mongolia

Effective capacity of coking coal transportation to China to be not more than

25Mtpa in near future

Other sourcing options

Russia

New capacity is dependant on expansion of ports

Logistics becomes a major constrain for exports to India

USA

Was recently offering coking coal to India in spot market at much cheaper

rates of around $170 per tonne

However recent rise in Atlantic freight has put the US miners in a

disadvantage - now need to achieve USD 150 per tonne to USD 160 per

tonne FOB to remain competitive…. which is difficult

This makes US coal a not so viable alternative for Indian market - makes just

guest appearances

Indian mills have standardized their technical parameters to Australian

specifications - moreover, Indian PSUs are inflexible on quality parameters

Most US coal is HV, and India needs LV and MV HCC coals for blending

(leads onto benefits for GCC)

Advantage Australia

Democratic traditions

Shared commonwealth traditions

English speaking population

Strong, stable Government where Rule of Law

prevails

Industry friendly, proactive bureaucracy

India has Law

China has Order

While

Australia has both Law & Order

Australia Has all the coking coal that INDIA Needs

• However bottlenecks exist

• Infrastructure & port development

• New Taxes (Carbon Tax + MRRT)

• Mining Industry made the whipping boy

In pursuance of

Environmental

Activism……

We tend to forget….

There is hardly

any alternative

to Coal

It is Coal which steers our Economy

Mining has helped us to tide over the recent global economic crisis – & may do the same for the impending one...

If We Do Not Want to Kill the Goose that Lays the Golden Eggs

• Development must continue while we meet the challenges of

climate change

• Global Climate Change is a truth but we need to ensure that

facts & figures are not used to forcefully slaughter the human

civilization that we have built over ages

A Sustainable and qualified response to Global Climate

Change is required without stopping development

The Coal industry is sensitive to the carbon emissions and

is taking all the right steps

A matured workable strategy needs to be designed so

that we do not jeopardize development and at the

same time address the challenge of climate change

AT GUJARAT NRE

We Produce Premium Hard Coking Coal

Which is considered the Greenest variety of coal

Coking Coal….Its Different • Coking coal has special coking properties……Is used

primarily in steel production - - coking coal is converted to

met coke, which is then used in blast furnaces as a

reducing agent to make steel

• Every tonne of steel around us contains 1 ton of coking

coal and is the basic building block of society

• Coking Coal needs to be treated differently & coking coal

producers seek preferential treatment and not bundled in

a single category of coal – based on the value and severe

scarcity of the commodity mined

At Gujarat NRE we mine this essential & valuable commodity

Evolving Global Met Coke Scenario

Existing export tax levied by China and as such China does not plan to resume high levels of coke exports

Coke supply from other sources - e.g. Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Colombia, Japan - has limited potential for increase in future.

Major steelmakers, while currently operating at low rates are structurally coke short when demand and steel production recovers.

Once coke trade returns to levels of around 30 MTPA (with global industrial activity picking up), it would be a challenge to meet the shortfall of China’s 14-15 MTPA peak export capacity

Can India become a leading coke exporter?

INDIA AS A COKE EXPORTER

• Why India? At first glance not a natural coke exporter due to:

– Poorer quality coking coals

– Strong domestic demand growth

– Traditional significant coke importer

– Limited deep water ports

• However, some advantages

– Rapidly growing merchant coke producer

– Adoption of quick to build non recovery, heat recovery ovens

– In between Atlantic and Pacific markets

– Has already sold coke to Brazil, Japan, SE Asian and European countries

• Emerging Huge Void - In 2007 Chinese export was 15 Mt which got reduced to 12 Mt in 2008 and in 2009 it stood at just over an ½ Mt, recovering to ~3Mt currenlty

Coke Exports by Gujarat NRE

• Brazil

• France

• Japan

• Argentina

• SE Asian Countries

In addition to meeting the increasing domestic coke demand, Gujarat NRE

Coke has been tapping the opportunity in met coke export market
