4 COMPANIES MUMBAI | TUESDAY, 5 JANUARY 2021 1 > SACHIN P MAMPATTA Mumbai, 4 January C ompanies have increased the share of fixed-rate bonds in new bond issuances amid falling interest rates. The net outstanding data, which reflects all outstanding bonds and not just the bonds issued during a given period, shows that over 90 per cent of the bonds were fixed-rate ones in the March, June, and September quarters. This is the first time that it has crossed this mark since December 2017. It was 90.42 per cent in March and above 91 per cent in both June and September. The share of floating-rate bonds has fallen to low-single digits (see chart). Companies pay interest rates that can change on the basis of an underlying benchmark in float- ing-rate bonds. The interest rate remains the same throughout the term in fixed-rate bonds. These are the two major bond categories. Other instruments like structured notes account for the rest. The move towards fixed-rate bonds comes even as the cost of borrowing has reduced significantly. The RBI in May last year cut its key lending rate, called the repo (repur- chase) rate, to 4 per cent. This is the lowest since the benchmark was introduced 20 years ago in 2000. It also took other steps to ensure that companies could borrow cheaply to survive even as gross domestic product (GDP) fell by almost a quarter amid the Covid-19 pandemic. “… liquidity-augmenting measures, amount- ing to ~12.8 lakh crore (6.3 per cent of 2019-20 nominal GDP), resulted in the lowest financial markets borrowing costs in a decade, with yields on instruments like the 3-month Treasury bill, commercial paper (CP) and certificates of deposit (CDs) trading closer to the lower bound of the policy rate corridor in the secondary mar- ket,” said the central bank in its “Report on Trend and Progress of Banking in India 2019- 20”, released on December 29. The report noted there were record corpo- rate bond issuances of ~4.4 trillion between April and October 2020, compared to ~3.5 tril- lion in the same period in 2019. This period of accommodation is not expected to last. “We anticipate the RBI will withdraw accommoda- tion and reduce liquidity in turn starting the process of rate normalisation. Unless we see a huge fiscal consolidation or downward growth/inflation shock rate cuts looks unlikely …” said a December 18 note entitled “Hindsight is 20/20”, by Axis Asset Management Company. It said the central bank was likely to hike rates slowly to avoid endangering the current eco- nomic recovery. The rising rates are expected come in during the next 12-18 months, according to the note. This may be a time for caution for investors in lower-rated companies. “…as a general principle, at the bottom of a rate cycle it is prudent to demand higher com- pensation for deeper commitments of capital. While a steep yield curve is possibly providing this for longer tenor commitments (at least at particular points on the yield curve where implied forward rates are quite attractive), cred- it spreads on lower rated assets in general may no longer be doing so,” said a December 24 note entitled “Where The Light Is: A Year in Review”, by Suyash Choudhary, head (fixed income), IDFC Asset Management Company. Firms tilt towards fixed-rate bonds for borrowing Move comes as interest rates fall amid the pandemic ADITI DIVEKAR Mumbai, 4 January L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering, a wholly owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro, on Monday said it has won an order from HPCL Rajasthan Refinery (HRRL) worth over ~7,000 crore, the biggest EPCC contract awa- rded in the country in the refin- ery and petrochemical sector. HRRL is a joint venture between Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) and the government of Rajasthan. The EPCC contract is for setting up a dual feed cracker unit (DFCU) for the project at Barmer, Rajas- than, said the company in a release. “We are very delighted to be part of this mega develop- ment project in Rajasthan and I would like to thank HRRL and HPCL for having trust in our capabilities to deliver such com- plex process plants with high standards of HSE and Quality,” Subramanian Sarma, whole- time director and senior EVP (Energy) at L&T said. The DFCU is used to convert refinery naphtha and offgases to produce polymer-grade eth- ylene and propylene by the process of thermal cracking. The ethylene and propylene is used as feedstock for down- stream polyethylene unit and polypropylene unit. The process also produces by-products like butadiene, benzene, toluene and gasoline. The firm in a separate rele- ase said it had won another con- tract from the JV with an order size between ~2,500 crore and ~5,000 crore. The EPCC deal is for setting up a petrochemical fluidised catalytic cracking, in- cluding propylene recovery unit for the refinery project.The PF- CC will convert the heavy hyd- rocarbons from the vacuum dis- tillation unit to produce more valuable gasoline, diesel, pro- pylene and lighter products by catalytic cracking. “This is another package that LTHE has won from HRRL amid stiff global competition. It will be our endeavour to live up to the trust reposed by HRRL and HPCL in our execution capabilities and quality assur- ance,” Sarma said. ISHITA AYAN DUTT Kolkata, 4 January Amid the noise around rising steel prices, the rally contin- ued in the new year, with some firms increasing prices by ~1,000-2,400 a tonne and indicating more hikes in the coming weeks. A primary producer said the prices would be raised in tranches this month and the total increase could be ~6,000 a tonne. “The first tranche is already effective. We have inc- reased hot rolled coil prices by ~1,500 a tonne and rebar by about ~2,400 a tonne,” he said. Jindal Steel & Power (JSPL) has increased prices by ~1,000- 1,500 a tonne. V R Sharma, managing director, said the market was good, but prices would stabilise if NMDC kept its iron ore prices at the same level. The buoyancy in the mar- ket was reflected in JSPL’s pro- duction numbers released on Monday. The company record- ed its highest ever production and sales in December; pro- duction increased 20 per cent year-on-year to 1.93 million tonnes in Q3, while sales increa- sed 12 per cent to 1.88 million tonnes in the same period. Other major producers, too, are expected to come out with a good showing in the third quarter. Some companies, however, were waiting for NMDC’s move on prices before taking a call on the quantum of increase. “We will decide this week,” said a producer. Since India entered the un- locking phase, steel prices have been on a continuous uptrend. Sharma explained that there was a shortage of long products as secondary producers that account for about 40 per cent of the production were not able to come up to the right level of production. “They are produc- ing 30-31 per cent which is being made up for by the six major producers,” he said. The increase in prices, however, has caused much dis- content among user indus- tries. Raw materials industry, too, has raised the matter. About a week ago, the Indian Steel Association (ISA) wrote to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), explaining the reasons behind the price incre- ases undertaken by the indus- try. Primary among them were that international prices had moved from a bottom of $397 a tonne to $750 a tonne because of temporary shortage in glob- al supplies and a shortage of iron ore, a key input material. The industry also highlight- ed evacuation challenges with respect to iron ore and said that iron ore export competes with the movement for domestic use. The ISA has urged for a six- month ban on the export of iron ore till the situation stabilises. Days after, the Federation of Indian Mineral Industries (FIMI) wrote to the PMO, countering ISA’s points. FIMI said that the ISA was obfus- cating the issue and justifying the unjustifiable increase in steel prices. The association also pointed out that the Indian steel indus- try fixes its products almost at par with international levels; on the contrary, Indian iron ore prices were priced much lower than international prices. Steel companies raise prices by up to ~2,400 a tonne, more hikes expected L&T arm wins biggest EPCC contract of over ~7,000 crore ADITYA KALRA & RITSUKO ANDO New Delhi/Tokyo, 4 January Japan’s beer maker Kirin Holdings will invest $30 mil- lion in New Delhi-based B9 Beverages, the companies said on Monday, as it seeks to secure a spot in India’s grow- ing craft beer market amid falling sales at home. The Japanese brewer will acquire a stake of under 10 per cent in B9, the maker of India’s popular craft beer Bira, a Kirin spokesman and Bira CEO An- kur Jain said. They declined to give financial details. B9 had been in talks with global brew- ers, including Kirin, and other investors to sell a stake of up to 20 per cent in the firm, Reuters reported in August. The investment would allow Bira, which has posted losses in recent years and has been hit by the Covid-19 pan- demic, to break even in the 2022 fiscal year which starts in April 2021, Jain said. “The companies will be exploring business synergies,” Jain said, adding that the investment would allow Bira to accelerate plans to launch its products in Japan later this year. Jain added that he expects the deal to be closed over “the next few days” and talks were underway with a view to sell- ing a further 10 per cent stake in Bira to financial investors. An industry source with direct knowledge of the mat- ter said Kirin would take a 9.8 per cent stake, with the seco- nd stake sale expected to con- clude by March. The source said the Indian brewer is cur- rently valued at $300 million. While Bira, launched in 2015, is one of the smallest players in India’s broader beer indus- try, its craft beer offerings have become increasingly popular in recent years. Bira says it has a 5-10 per cent share of the beer market in cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru.

    This is the first time that it has crossed thismarksinceDecember2017. Itwas90.42percentinMarchandabove91percent inbothJuneandSeptember. The share of floating-rate bondshas fallen to low-single digits (see chart).

    These are the two major bond categories.Other instruments likestructurednotesaccountfor therest.Themovetowards fixed-ratebondscomes even as the cost of borrowing hasreduced significantly. TheRBI inMay last yearcut its key lending rate, called the repo (repur-chase) rate, to 4 per cent. This is the lowestsince the benchmark was introduced 20 yearsago in 2000. It also took other steps to ensurethatcompaniescouldborrowcheaplytosurviveeven as gross domestic product (GDP) fell byalmost a quarter amid theCovid-19 pandemic.

    “…liquidity-augmentingmeasures,amount-ing to ~12.8 lakh crore (6.3 per cent of 2019-20nominal GDP), resulted in the lowest financialmarketsborrowingcosts inadecade,withyieldson instruments like the 3-monthTreasurybill,commercial paper (CP) and certificates ofdeposit (CDs) tradingcloser to the lowerboundof thepolicyratecorridor inthesecondarymar-ket,” said the central bank in its “Report onTrend and Progress of Banking in India 2019-20”, released onDecember 29.

    The report noted there were record corpo-rate bond issuances of ~4.4 trillion betweenApril and October 2020, compared to ~3.5 tril-lion in the same period in 2019. This period ofaccommodation is not expected to last. “Weanticipate the RBI will withdraw accommoda-tion and reduce liquidity in turn starting theprocess of rate normalisation.

    Amid the noise around risingsteel prices, the rally contin-ued in the new year, withsome firms increasing pricesby ~1,000-2,400 a tonne andindicating more hikes in thecomingweeks.

    Aprimaryproducersaidtheprices would be raised intranches this month and thetotal increasecouldbe~6,000atonne. “The first tranche isalready effective.We have inc-reased hot rolled coil prices by~1,500 a tonne and rebar byabout ~2,400 a tonne,” he said.

    Jindal Steel & Power (JSPL)has increasedpricesby~1,000-1,500 a tonne. V R Sharma,managing director, said themarket was good, but priceswould stabilise if NMDC keptits iron ore prices at the samelevel.Thebuoyancyinthemar-ketwas reflected in JSPL’s pro-duction numbers released onMonday.Thecompanyrecord-ed its highest ever productionand sales in December; pro-duction increased 20 per centyear-on-year to 1.93 milliontonnesinQ3,whilesalesincrea-sed 12 per cent to 1.88 milliontonnes in the sameperiod.

    Othermajorproducers, too,are expected to come outwitha good showing in the thirdquarter. Some companies,however, were waiting forNMDC’smoveonpricesbeforetakingacallonthequantumofincrease. “We will decide thisweek,” said a producer.

    Since India entered the un-lockingphase,steelpriceshavebeenonacontinuousuptrend.

    Sharmaexplainedthatthere

    wasashortageof longproductsas secondary producers thataccountforabout40percentoftheproductionwerenotabletocome up to the right level ofproduction. “Theyareproduc-ing 30-31 per cent which isbeing made up for by the sixmajor producers,” he said.

    The increase in prices,however,hascausedmuchdis-content among user indus-tries. Raw materials industry,

    too, has raised thematter.About a week ago, the

    Indian Steel Association (ISA)wrote to the Prime Minister’sOffice (PMO), explaining thereasonsbehindtheprice incre-ases undertaken by the indus-try. Primaryamong themwerethat international prices hadmovedfromabottomof$397atonne to $750 a tonne becauseof temporary shortage in glob-al supplies and a shortage ofiron ore, a key input material.

    Theindustryalsohighlight-ed evacuation challenges withrespecttoironoreandsaidthatiron ore export competes withthe movement for domesticuse.TheISAhasurgedforasix-monthbanontheexportofironore till the situation stabilises.

    Days after, the Federationof Indian Mineral Industries(FIMI) wrote to the PMO,countering ISA’s points. FIMIsaid that the ISA was obfus-cating the issue and justifyingthe unjustifiable increase insteel prices.

    Theassociationalsopointedout that the Indiansteel indus-try fixes its products almost atparwithinternational levels;onthe contrary, Indian iron orepriceswerepricedmuch lowerthan international prices.
