Abstract
In India, Steel sector is one the most promising & growing industry. But form the point of view ofprofitability & consistency these are the not as good as it is for overall industry & it differs form one
company to other.
Under the study we have taken the four major players working in the steel sector in India & taken the
financial data of all the companies for three financial years. For the research purpose, there are various ratios
which are calculated & further taken into consideration for the different tests.
In the study secondary data are used which are collected from internet.
Objective of study is to analyze the performance of each company by profitability & consistency under the
study & give them various ranks according to their performance. Thus, it is useful for the measurement of
overall performance of various companies under steel industry in India.
Key Words: Steel sector in India, Profitability & Consistency

In tro d u ct io n
The Indian iron and steel industry is nearly a century old, with Tata Iron & Steel Co (Tata Steel) asthe first integrated steel plant to be set up in 1907. It was the first core sector to be completely freedfrom the licensing regime (in 1990-91) and the pricing and distribution controls. The steel industry isexpanding worldwide. For a number of years it has been benefiting from the exceptionally buoyantAsian economies (mainly India and China). The economic modernization processes in these
countries are driving the sharp rise in demand for steel.
The New Industrial policy adopted by the Government of India has opened up the iron and steelsector for private investment by removing it from the list of industries reserved for public sector andexempting it from compulsory licensing. Imports of foreign technology as well as foreign direct
investment are freely permitted up to certain limits under an automatic route. This, along with theother initiatives taken by the Government has given a definite impetus for entry, participation andgrowth of the private sector in the steel industry. While the existing units are beingmodernized/expanded, a large number of new/greenfield steel plants have also come up in differentparts of the country based on modern, cost effective, state of-the-art technologies.
Soaring demand by sectors like infrastructure, real estate and automobiles, at home and abroad, has
put India's steel industry on the world map. Dominating the Indian horizon is steel giant Tata Steel,whose takeover of the UK-Dutch steel company Corus is the country's biggest buyout. Meanwhile,the LN Mittal-owned Mittal Steel acquired French steel company Arcelor to create the world's
number one steel company, Arcelor Mittal; and Korean steel giant POSCO is pumping money intomines and steel plants in Orissa to emerge as one of the biggest steel plants in the state.
India's steel production during 2010-11 was 75.463 MTPA in (upto December 2010). India has
emerged as the fifth largest producer of steel in the world and is likely to become the second largest
producer of crude steel by 2015-16.
Considering a steel consumption of 300 kg per man per year to be a fair level of economic
development, India will have to come up to somewhere around 300 million tonnes, if it is to fulfill
its ambitions of being a developed country. That of course is a long journey from the present
production level of around 50 million tonnes but one must consider its past before coming to a
conclusion about its potential. India was producing only around a million tonnes of steel at the time
of its independence in 1947. By 1991, when the economy was opened up steel production grew to
around 14 million tonnes. Thereafter, it doubled in the next 10 years, and then it is doubling again,
maybe over a slightly longer span. Steel Production in India is expected to reach 124 million tons
by 2012 and 275 million tons by 2020 which could make it the second largest steel maker.

Meth o d o f a n a ly s i s o f d a ta :
Here data is preliminarily analyzed using a test called one-way ANOVA. ANOVA means analysis of
variance. On the basis of ANOVA performed on each of the ratios some points are allocated to companies
and on the basis of that conclusion is derived.

Interpretation:
The test gives F-ratio value which is greater than the critical value for given degree of freedom. So the
difference between Gross Profit Margin of sample companies is not because of sampling error or any other
reason. This difference can be considered as a significant difference. So we can rank the companies for its
profitability and consistency. We can allocate points to it ranging from 4-1as per the performance indicated
by Average and Variance, given in the Summery section. They are shown in the following table.

In detailed analysis of each ratio, we have seen interpretation of the test performed on the ratio values of
different companies. On the basis of that we can conclude which ratios can help ranking the companies on
the basis of their performance.
