INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT:

The global steel industry, witnessed sharp decline in both steel demand and production and a sharper-than- expected recovery also. The short-term disruptions, however, inflicted significant pain on economies where the manufacturing sector was already under enormous stress. The recovery of steel consuming industries such as automobiles has been faster than expected. As economies around the world build back, infrastructure will be a key enabler for growth.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS - INDIAN STEEL INDUSTRY

Global steel production in CY 2020 marginally dropped by 0.9% to 1,864 MnT from 1,880 MnT in CY 2019 (Source: World Steel Association). Steel demand fell by 0.2% to 1,771.8 MnT from 1,775 MnT in CY 2019. The steel pricing scenario has remained buoyant since Q4 FY 2021-22, which has seen highs not witnessed in over a decade. In CY 2020, average global steel price was about US$ 582/tonne. However, as CY 2021 commenced, average price in the first five months jumped to US$ 883/tonne.

OPPORTUNITY AND THREATS

With an accelerated push from the policies proposed by the new Government regarding steel intensive segments such as infrastructure, capital goods and construction, stepping up capital expenditure, theoutlook for the steel industry remains bright because of high export potential to European and South East Asia markets.

Increased competition from domestic and international steel companies located in India Volatility in Coking Coal Prices and Exchange Rate and rising Crude Oil prices, Volatility in Steel Prices, Inflationary pressure.

OUTLOOK

China, the largest steel making country, is limiting production, restricted exports, encouraging importof semi-finished steel and is focusing on domestic consumption. This means that excessive supply and dumping experienced earlier from China are expected to be under control. Similarly, across the world, the underinvestment for past several years on infrastructure is now an opportunity to stimulate economic activity with huge spending on infrastructure through massive fiscal stimulus. This presents a case for sustained and growing demand. However, on the supply side the increase is not proportionate, with rising scrutiny on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) aspects. In light of this, steel demand and pricing are expected to remain firm in the near-tomedium term, with bouts of short-term corrections
