Ministry of Steel organises second steel Consumers’ Council Meeting in Odisha
By admin -
June 15, 2017

NEW DELHI (INDIA): The Second Meeting of the National Steel Consumers’ Council, on the theme of “Current Status of Steel Industry and the Way Forward’’ will be held under the Chairmanship of the Union Steel Minister Chaudhary Birender Singh in Bhubaneswar on 16th June,2017 .

The function of the Steel Consumer Council is to advise Government on matters relating to supply, availability, quality and the market trends of iron and steel.

India is currently the third largest steel producer in the world; while the domestic steel consumption remains at only 60 Kgs per capita which is quite less in comparison to the world average of 208 kgs. There has been continued thrust from the Ministry of Steel to boost domestic steel consumption by exploring versatile steel uses. Recently, the Union Cabinet has approved the policy for providing preference to Domestically Manufactured Iron & Steel Products in Government procurement. The meeting comes at a good time to address all steel related issues.

Steel Industry particularly Public Sector in Odisha has played a prominent role in development of the steel industry. States like Odisha, are expected to be large centres of rural consumption of steel in the country. Odisha is one of the favoured destinations for steel making in India due to its geographic advantage and talented population of the state. Bhubaneswar, Odisha is the ideal choice for the conference considering the state’s contribution to the steel making prowess of the country.

This meeting would provide a vibrant platform to discuss the viable options for generating domestic steel consumption, domestic steel industry scenario, global steel trends and advantages of using steel over any other construction materials. This meeting would be attended by representatives of various ministries, several industry associations, producers and consumers of iron & steel Industry, house builders and related industries, industry experts and leading domestic steel makers.

Steel dealers destocking in anticipation of lower GST rate

Moneycontrol Research reported that currently, iron and steel attracts taxes totaling to 20%, which includes an excise duty of 12.5%, VAT at an average rate of 5% and central sales tax at rate of 2%. However, under the new GST rate, iron and steel will attract a rate of 18% on all kinds of iron and steel products such as scrap, iron rods and bars. The lower rates under GST are precisely why dealers are cutting down on their old stock or running low inventory to avoid any losses after July 1.

Mr Rajesh Agrawal MD of the Raipur based Mahamaya Steel Industries said "Dealers are reducing their inventories. Dealers used to have close to 12-15 days inventories which have now come down to about 4-5 days. This is also a reason that we have seen slow steel demand as dealers are consuming the existing inventories. Even the buyers are not in a hurry as they expect lower rates.”

He said “Today, we end up paying both CST and local taxes, which our buyers often do not get compensated as input credit. Post the implementation of the GST, the buyers will be able to take credit on taxes paid, which we believe will reduce their cost by about 2% or INR 600-700 per tonne.”

Moreover steel traders are also expecting lower rates as a result of possible pass-through of some of the benefits that will accrue to manufacturers because of the lower rates on input prices like iron ore, coal and other inputs. The Raipur-based steel manufacturer said that there would be INR 300-400 per tonne benefit as a result of new GST rates for the inputs.

These expectations have led dealers to cut down on their inventories as buyers postpone their buying hoping to get a better deal post implementation of the GST.

The steel manufacturers are hopeful that post GST implementation, the restocking will start and that will again push demand, which has so far been subdued because of destocking at the traders level and buyers playing a waiting game.

South Korean Newlake and JB consortium selected as Arrium's preferred bidder

ABC reported that aSouth Korean consortium has been selected as the preferred bidder for Arrium, which runs the steelworks in Whyalla, went into voluntary administration in 2016, with debts of more than AUD 4 billion. The consortium is headed by Newlake Alliance Management and JB Asset Management and supported by POSCO. Newlake and JB's bid proposes spending more than AUD 1 billion on the Whyalla upgrade and on Arrium's mini-mills, steel distribution and iron ore mining divisions. They also plan to build a gas-fired power station to feed the steelworks, which would help combat South Australia's energy shortage.

A source familiar with the sales process said “Newlake will use the Finex steelmaking technology under license from South Korean steelmaker POSCO to revamp the Arrium's main Wyhalla steelworks, which are 76 years old and located in South Australia state. That decision played a key role in the selection process. The Finex steelmaking technology helps cut costs and emissions.

Administrator KordaMentha said it would work with the consortium and investment bank Morgan Stanley to finalise the sale contract as soon as possible.

The final sale is subject to approval by the committee of Creditors and the Foreign Investment Review board.

Administrator Mr Mark Mentha said "After a 14-month administration and a nine-month sale process, we are now an important step closer to providing certainty to employees, creditors, suppliers, customers and the Whyalla community.”

UK based Liberty House was also in the running for Arrium.

Australian Workers Union organiser for Whyalla Mr Scott Martin said many in the community would be breathing a sigh of relief at the announcement. He said "It's been a long process, but I think a lot of people are just looking for a bit of light at the end of the tunnel and this is the sort of light that's we've been looking for so this is great news. The workforce has been doing it tough and generally the community of Whyalla has been doing it tough and I don't think people who don't live in the area fully understand that. There has been a lot of heartache, there has been a lot of strife and issues up here."

Arrium collapsed in April 2016 with AUD 2.8 billion in debt after creditors rejected AUD 927 million bailout proposal by private equity group GSO Capital Partners that would have paid no more than 55 cents on the dollar on their claims. The creditors' committee includes Australian lenders Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank, Westpac and ANZ Bank, which are owed a combined AUD 1 billion.

Seoul based Newlake Alliance Management is comprised of former executives of private equity giant Blackstone.

ArcelorMittal bereikt bindend akkoord voor overname staalfabriek Ilva

Belangrijke stap gezet volgens CEO.

(ABM FN-Dow Jones) Een consortium onder leiding van ArcelorMittal heeft een akkoord bereikt over de acquisitie van de Italiaanse staalfabriek Ilva. Dit maakte het staalbedrijf met een notering op het Damrak vrijdag bekend.

De exclusieve onderhandelingen met de Italiaanse staat zijn afgerond met een bindend akkoord als resultaat, aldus ArcelorMittal.

CEO Lakshmi Mittal sprak van een "belangrijke stap" in de aanschaf van Ilva en zei precies te weten wat er moet gebeuren bij de staalfabriek in Italië.

De staalreus liet weten dat de bijbehorende documentatie uiterlijk op 30 juni zal worden ingevoerd.

In 2020 denkt het consortium voor 310 miljoen euro aan synergieen te kunnen realiseren, exclusief de impact van het terugbrengen van vaste kosten en volumeverbeteringen.

De Italiaanse fabriek zal volgens ArcelorMittal al in het eerste jaar bijdragen aan het bedrijfsresultaat (EBITDA). In jaar drie zal de fabriek ook bijdragen aan de vrije kasstroom, zo voorziet de staalgigant.

Er zal circa 2,4 miljard euro worden geïnvesteerd in Ilva in de komende zeven jaar.

Goede deal

Volgens analisten van Credit Suisse sluit ArcelorMittal een goede deal. De marktvorsers van de Zwitserse bank wezen erop dat het management zes jaar de tijd krijgt om de fabriek te vernieuwen, voordat de balans beïnvloedt wordt. Als ArcelorMittal en partner Marcegaglia erin slagen om de productie te verhogen, terwijl de winstgevendheid per ton staal op peil blijft, dan kan het zelfs een "zeer goede" acquisitie worden.

Dit is volgens de analisten ook precies waar ArcelorMittal goed in is, namelijk het opkopen van niet renderende staalfabrieken om dan vervolgens de boel goed op de schop te nemen en zorgen dat er wel weer winst wordt gemaakt. Onderdeel van de plannen voor Ilva is volgens Credit Suisse een fikse reorganisatie die het personeelsbestand in de komende jaren moet terugbrengen van ruim 14.000 naar minder dan 8.500.

ArcelorMittal bezit 85 procent van het consortium en Marcegaglia heeft de rest. De Italiaanse overheid heeft Ilva verkocht voor in totaal 1,8 miljard euro, maar daarbovenop zal het consortium ook 2,4 miljard in de fabriek investeren, onder meer om de fabriek milieuvriendelijker te maken.

Het aandeel ArcelorMittal sloot vrijdag 1,1 procent lager op 17,87 euro.

Overname Ilva volgens Credit Suisse goede zet.
(ABM FN-Dow Jones) ArcelorMittal heeft een slechte week achter de rug, waarin de staalreus 6,0 procent aan beurswaarde zag verdampen. Daarmee was het aandeel, na dat van Ahold Delhaize, de sterkste daler in de AEX.
De daling was niet bedrijfsspecifiek. De hele staalmarkt en vergelijkbare sectoren liepen op de beurs stevige klappen op. Zo verloor Aperam, een fabrikant van roestvast staal, deze week 9,6 procent en werd AMG 5,3 procent goedkoper.
Chinese staal- en ijzerertsprijzen blijven onder druk staan vanwege zorgen over de vraag van de grootste staalconsument ter wereld. Er wordt onder meer gevreesd voor een vertraging in de Chinese automobielindustrie.
Bij Barclays vrezen de analisten dat de ellende van lagere staalprijzen nog niet achter de rug is. Sterker nog, zij voorzien dat de prijzen nog behoorlijk verder kunnen dalen in de tweede jaarhelft. Het lijkt er volgens de Britse bank namelijk niet op dat de vraag zal aantrekken.
Zoals wel vaker gebeurt, werd het slechte nieuws uit China direct vertaald in lagere koersen. Toch was er wel degelijk positief nieuws te melden voor ArcelorMittal.
Vrijdag kort voor het sluiten van de handel meldde ArcelorMittal na exclusieve onderhandelingen een bindend akkoord te hebben bereikt over de overname van de Italiaanse staalfabriek Ilva.
CEO Lakshmi Mittal sprak van een "belangrijke stap" in de aanschaf van Ilva en zei precies te weten wat er moet gebeuren bij de noodlijdende staalfabriek in Italië.
Het consortium, dat onder leiding staat van ArcelorMittal telt 1,8 miljard euro voor Ilva. Daarbovenop zal er ook nog eens 2,4 miljard euro worden geïnvesteerd in de fabriek, onder meer om deze milieuvriendelijker te maken.
In 2020 denkt het consortium voor 310 miljoen euro aan synergieen te kunnen realiseren, exclusief de impact van het terugbrengen van vaste kosten en volumeverbeteringen.
De Italiaanse fabriek zal volgens ArcelorMittal al in het eerste jaar bijdragen aan het bedrijfsresultaat (EBITDA). In jaar drie zal de fabriek ook bijdragen aan de vrije kasstroom, zo voorziet de staalgigant.

Onderdeel van de plannen voor Ilva is volgens Credit Suisse een fikse reorganisatie die het personeelsbestand in de komende jaren moet terugbrengen van ruim 14.000 naar minder dan 8.500.
Analist Corne van Zeijl van Actiam was voorzichtiger. Hij sprak van een "gewaagde overname", ondanks de synergievoordelen die in het verschiet liggen. De overnameprijs die ArcelorMittal aangevuld met de noodzakelijke investeringen noemde Van Zeijl "redelijk hoog".
"De fabriek heeft meer toegevoegde waarde onder de vleugels van Aminvestco dan onder die van de Italiaanse overheid", stelde Van Zeijl, die gelooft in de overnamestrategie van topman Lakshmi Mittal. "Mittal lijkt niet uit te zijn op het vergroten van marktaandeel, maar op het realiseren van synergievoordelen."
De staalreus liet vrijdag weten dat de bijbehorende documentatie uiterlijk op 30 juni zal worden ingevoerd.
Credit Suisse heeft een Outperform advies op ArcelorMittal met een koersdoel van 31,00 dollar.

Beursblik: Citi ziet ijzerertsprijs verder omlaag gaan

Analisten verwachten groeiende voorraden.

(ABM FN-Dow Jones) De ijzerertsprijs zal volgens Citi harder dalen dan eerder werd ingeschat. Dit bleek uit verwachtingen die de Amerikaanse zakenbank publiceerde.

Volgens de analisten zijn de prijzen voor ijzererts in de afgelopen twee maanden gedaald van 90 naar 55 dollar per ton, wat "veel sneller" is dan ze hadden voorzien. De bank gaat dit jaar nu uit van geen gemiddelde prijs van 61 dollar, waar ze eerder op 70 dollar rekenden.

De bodem wordt volgens Citi aan het einde van dit jaar of begin volgend jaar bereikt met een prijs van iets meer dan 40 dollar. In 2018 zal de gemiddelde prijs op 50 dollar liggen, 3 dollar minder dan waarop de analisten eerder rekenden.

De voorraden ijzererts zullen volgens de marktvorsers blijven oplopen, terwijl het nodig is dat deze juist aanzienlijk afnemen om de markt weer in balans te krijgen.

Beursblik: details overname Ilva door ArcelorMittal wijzen op goede deal

Credit Suisse spreekt van mogelijk zeer goede overname.

(ABM FN-Dow Jones) De overname van de Italiaanse staalfabriek Ilva door ArcelorMittal is mogelijk een zeer goede deal voor de staalfabrikant met een notering op het Damrak. Dit schreven analisten van Credit Suisse maandag, nadat afgelopen vrijdag meer details over de deal bekend werden gemaakt.

ArcelorMittal meldde dat Ilva in het eerste jaar gelijk zal bijdragen aan de winst (EBITDA) en in het derde jaar een positieve vrije kasstroom zal opleveren. Dit wijst volgens de Zwitserse bank op een EBITDA van tenminste 580 miljoen dollar in jaar drie na de overname, wat volgens de analisten "opvallend hoog" is.

ArcelorMittal betaalt, samen met joint venture partner Marcegaglia, 1,8 miljard dollar voor de staalfabriek, maar heeft tevens afgesproken om 1,1 miljard dollar te investeren om de fabriek milieuvriendelijker te maken, waardoor Credit Suisse spreekt van een totale overnamesom van 2,9 miljard dollar.

De analisten spraken van een goede deal, aangezien ArcelorMittal zes jaar de tijd krijgt om de fabriek te vernieuwen voordat de balans onder druk komt te staan. Als de staalmaker erin slaagt om de productie van Ilva op te schroeven en tegelijkertijd de winstgevendheid vast te houden, dan zou dit volgens hen wel eens een zeer goede deal kunnen zijn.

Het gaat hier wel over de lange termijn en de marktvorsers merkten daarom op dat de financiële markten, die momenteel vooral naar de korte termijn kijken, waarschijnlijk minder waarde aan de overname zullen toedichten.

Credit Suisse heeft een Outperform advies met een koersdoel van 31,00 euro op ArcelorMittal. Het aandeel sloot vrijdag op 17,87 euro.

'Overname Ilva logisch voor ArcelorMittal'

Gepubliceerd op 19 jun 2017 om 10:40 | Views: 1.958 |

ArcelorMittal 16:05
18,37 +0,50 (+2,80%)

AMSTERDAM (AFN) - De overname van het Italiaanse Ilva, dat eigenaar is van de grootste staalfabriek van Europa in de Zuid-Italiaanse stad Tarente, door ArcelorMittal is logisch vanuit strategisch en financieel oogpunt. Dat meldde ING in een reactie op het overnamebericht dat vrijdagavond naar buiten kwam.

De koopprijs bedraagt 1,8 miljard euro. De overname wordt gedaan door ArcelorMittal samen met partner Marcegaglia. ING stelt dat dankzij de overname ArcelorMittal voet aan de grond krijgt in Italië. Nu heeft het bedrijf nog geen staalproductiecapaciteit in het land.

Daarnaast denkt ArcelorMittal dat de productie en concurrentiekracht van Ilva op termijn kunnen worden hersteld, wat mogelijk 10 procent toevoegt aan de volumes van het staalbedrijf. Tegen 2020 rekent ArcelorMittal er daarbij op zo'n 310 miljoen euro aan synergievoordelen te bewerkstelligen. Ilva zal naar verwachting ook al in het eerste jaar bijdragen aan het bedrijfsresultaat (ebitda) en in het in derde jaar aan de vrije kasstroom.

ING heeft een hold-advies voor ArcelorMittal dat maandagochtend omstreeks 10.25 uur 2,1 procent steeg tot 18,24 euro.

Raw Material security, Import substitution, enhancing steel consumption, R&D thrust areas for steel industry : Steel Minister

The Union Minister of Steel, Chaudhary Birender Singh chaired the second meeting of the recently constituted National Steel Consumers’ Council of Ministry of Steel in Bhubaneswar today. The meeting was attended by Dr. Aruna Sharma Secretary, Ministry of Steel, Government of India alongwith senior officers from the Ministry. Addressing the council, Shri Singh outlined India’s position in the global steel industry and mentioned that Indian steel sector has evolved as 3rd largest steel producer in world and is poised to become 2nd largest producer putting Indian steel prominently on the map of the global industry.

The minister added that India being one of the fastest growing economies in the world, and steel finding its extensive application in areas like construction, infrastructure, power, aerospace, industrial machinery and consumer products, the sector is of strategic importance to the country. He mentioned that owing to the significance of the sector and dynamic scenario in steel sector, the Government came up with National Steel Policy (NSP) 2017. With the roll out the New Steel Policy, it is envisaged that the industry will be steered with appropriate policy support in creating an environment for promoting domestic steel and thereby ensuring that production meets the anticipated pace of growth in demand.

Outlining the thrust areas of National Steel Policy he said, the NSP would focus on ensuring raw material security, import substitution, enhancing steel consumption, R&D of value added steel, increasing energy efficiency and sustainability, establishing India as cost-effective and quality steel destination, and reducing Carbon foot-print of the industry. Shri Singh also elaborated on the policy on preference to Domestically Manufactured Iron & Steel products (DMI & SP) which will cause increase in the consumption of domestic steel and help the Indian steel makers.

The steel minister mentioned that steel is one of the most important products in the modern world and forms the backbone to any industrial economy. The qualities and advantages of this material must be popularized for increasing the consumption of steel. Emphasizing on the low life cycle cost of steel, the minister said, it is a viable option for large construction, buildings or for individual users too. He said to enhance steel consumption, Steel Ministry has identified construction and manufacturing sectors like Rural development, Urban infrastructure, Roads & Highways, Railways etc. to be the key focus areas.

Shri Singh said, we have to intensify our research and development efforts for production of value added and special steels including auto grade steel, CRGO, CRNO, etc. by 2019-20. This would make India self- reliant in sectors like automobile and defence for which we currently have to depend on imports. He mentioned about early formalisation of Arcellor Mittal – SAIL JV. He also indicated reasonableness of raw material prices of iron ore and coal. Shri Singh said, ‘When we can substitute our entire requirements for any kind and quality of steel for being used in our industries it will be truly translating Make in Steel for Make in India.’

INR 40000 crore worth steel use in infrastructure likely - Steel Minister

Economic Times reported that India’s steel ministry is pinning its hopes on a spurt in infrastructure spending to provide a much needed boost to domestic steel demand. It expects at least a tenth of the proposed INR 4 lakh crore spending on infrastructure as per the budget this year or roughly around INR 40,000 crore will be on steel, thus boosting domestic demand.

Chaudhary Birender Singh, union steel minister, said “The budget this year has made a provision of INR 4 lakh crore on infrastructure. If a component of 10% of that amount is spent on steel we will see INR 40,000 crore worth of steel demand being generated."

Responding to a specific query on steps being taken up raise steel demand in step with its ambitious New Steel Policy 2017 that targets a production of 300 million tonne by 2030-31, the minister said "We are targeting a consumption of 160 kg of steel per person up from around 64 kgs at present. This is likely to multiply steel demand across the country."

In particular, he mentioned he massive thrust being given to increase use of steel in housing under the Prime Minister Awas Yojana. He said "We have prepared a prototype that will help boost steel consumption in constructing shelters and some five crore houses are likely to be built under the housing programme. Out of this, two crore will come up in urban areas and the remaining three crier in rural areas.”

US DOC cancels 232 steel briefings with Capitol Hill

Reuters reported that a briefing with senior Commerce Department officials and Senate Finance and House Ways & Means committee staff members regarding agency’s 232 investigations into steel imports on last Friday was canceled due to a lack of progress within the administration on its approach. The officials were slated to brief Capitol Hill about Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross’s investigation on Monday, but the effort was met with pushback from a slew

Administration officials were expected to brief the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means committees on the context and process of the inquiry before its findings are released.

An official said on Friday that the investigation into whether foreign-made steel imports pose a risk to US national security is nearly done. He told “It is nearing conclusion.”

Investigation was ordered by US President Donald Trump in April under the rarely used section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. The law allows the president to impose restrictions on imports for reasons of national security.

Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal gives up coking coal pricing role as influence wanes

Reuters reported that as Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal has given up its decades-old role in setting global coking coal prices because the rise of Chinese and Indian rivals has weakened its influence over the market. The shift after years of pressure from the world's biggest miner BHP Billiton, and which involves crafting a pricing formula closely linked to three spot price indexes - shows how far Japan's once mighty steelmakers have fallen. Nippon Steel stepped down as top negotiator on the coking coal benchmark, also because wild swings in the spot market played havoc with its profits, with gaps between the benchmark and spot prices making it less responsive to the market than rivals using index-linked pricing.

Mr Kazuo Tanimizu, Nippon Steel's managing executive officer in charge of raw materials, told Reuters in an interview that "We have lost bargaining power as China and India have raised their share of global trade.”

Mr Tanimizu said that "It's a sad reality, but it has become tougher for us to make market predictions amid uncertainty over weather and China's policy, and we have lost the power to make our benchmark price impact global markets.”

Mr Tanimizu said that "But we couldn't resist the growing global trend towards index-linked pricing anymore, pointing to its weakened position in the global seaborne coking coal market.”

Mr Tanimizu said that using the new pricing formula which sets prices based the spot price indexes provided by S&P Global Platts, Argus Media and The Steel Index coking coal for the April to June quarter will likely be set at around USD 190 to USD 195 a tonne.”

Japan bought 61.5 million tonnes of coking coal in 2008, more than double India's 26.5 million and nearly 20 times China's 3.2 million. Last year, though, Japan imported 53.4 million tonnes against India's 46.7 million tonnes and China's 35.7 million, according to Clarksons Research.

EU steel exports should be exempted from 232 probe by US - ERUROFER

Reuters reported that European steel association EUROFER chief Mr Axel Eggert said the European Commission was concerned that EU steel exports could be included in the broad scope of the investigation. He said the association was exploring options, including submitting a complaint to the World Trade Organization.

Mr Eggert told Reuters “The EU is a NATO partner of the US, therefore this doesn't make sense. The EU should have a full exemption from 232 measures.”

He said "We fear there could be a broad application of section 232 that would be reason enough to provoke a reaction from the EU under WTO rules. The Commission is looking into all the options.”
