NSE Symbol: MONNETISPA. Indices: BSE500, MIDCAP, CNX500, CNXMETAL. Chairman/ Managing Director: Sandeep Jajodia. Face Value: 10 Auditor: OP Bagla & Co. 2. Sector Analysis: Overview: o New era of development since liberalization. o Domestic steel industry has become market oriented and integrated with the global steel industry. o Plays an important role in Indian economy by contributing to nearly 2% of the GDP and employs over 500.000 people. o Backbone of sectors like, Auto Industry, Infrastructure. o Due to the favourable government policies and robust economic growth, Indian steel industry is presently experiencing healthy growth. o Domestic demand and consumption appear to be excellent driven by the high investment rate, growth in manufacturing industry and expansion in physical infrastructure creation. o Indian steel industry has emerged as the 4th largest steel producing country in the world.

2. Page | 2 o Indias low cost labour and ready availability of iron ore contribute significantly to the cost competitiveness of producing steel in India. o Steel industries are mainly located in the eastern region of India- Orissa, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, etc. Regulatory Environment: o National Steel Policy, 2005: Increase the total installed capacity to 110 million tonnes and with production capacity of 100 million tonnes by 2019-20. Average growth to be maintained at 7% for achieving the goal. To achieve this goal and extra amount of US$65 billion is required in addition to funds for technology up-gradation. Focus is on domestic sector but also envisages a faster growth than domestic consumption which will enable export opportunities. o Institutional and Policy Settings: Allowing private ownership and foreign investments have increased capital inflow, resulted in better quality. SAIL and RINL (heavyweight PSUs) have been granted NAVRATNA status which allow them to have greater autonomy in investments, joint venture and commercial decisions. Improving Intellectual Property Laws has provided greater security in intellectual property ownership and will facilitate transfer of intellectual property to India and the development of indigenous technology solutions. Deregulation of pricing and distribution of iron and steel resulted in proper reflection of production costs or product quality on prices and helped in implementing efficient logistics. Customs Policy: The government has significantly reduced the duty payable on inputs to steel production on capital equipment and on finished steel product and has streamlined the associate approval processes. The government also supports firms that are into exporting of steel products. Steel plants operating in Special Economic Zones are not subjected to restrictive normal laws for the purpose of export 3.

SWOT Analysis: Challenges faced by India Steel Sector: o Land acquisition requires more than a nod from a centralized authority. o Judicious allocation of abundant iron ore remains a challenge. o Limited access to coking coal. o Underdeveloped infrastructures, environmental & forest clearances and availability of coal and fuel and increasing cost of dry fuel. o The environment clearance has been another major concern for the steel sector while setting up plants. 4.
