1.0 Indian steel industry: Growing from strength to strength
1.1 Overview
India’s steel industry predates independence. From the initial 1 million tonne (Mt) steel
capacity at the time of independence, India has experienced significant growth becoming
the third largest steel producer in the world (62.8Mt in 2009) and world’s largest sponge iron
producer. Its production capacity is distributed between government steel making
companies like Steel Authority of India (SAIL) and Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd (RINL) and
large private players such as Tata Steel Ltd, Essar Steel Ltd and JSW Steel Ltd.
The Indian steel industry is at a nascent stage of growth and is expected to further develop
as steel demand and the economy grows. The Indian steel industry uses a mix of
technologies to produce hot metal, including Blast Furnace, Electric Furnace, Open Hearth
Furnace and Corex. This mix of technologies ensures that India is able to use iron ore, scrap
iron and thermal coal in its steel making efficiently and manages raw material price volatility
2.0 India: Steel demand & production
The Indian steel industry is primarily driven by domestic demand, a demand the steel sector has
struggled to meet. As a result, India has become a net importer of steel. India’s apparent finished
steel consumption was 55Mt compared to a crude steel production of 62.8Mt in 2009. India’s
production levels are expected to increase with increased spending on infrastructure, an affluent
middle class and a growing automobile industry. India’s steel demand is mainly derived from the
construction industry (63%) and metal products and machinery. In 2009, India’s per capita steel
consumption was 48 kg while per capita steel production of crude steel was 52 kg.
In response to increased demand, the major steel producers including Tata Steel, SAIL, JSW, RINL
all are investing to increase their production capacities to meet user demand. Given that India is still
at a very nascent stage of the steel demand life cycle, steel consumption and hence production is
expected to increase over the next few years. Installed steel production capacity is expected to
increase accordingly and it is expected to reach 138 Mt by 2015. Steel demand during this period is
expected to reach almost 107 Mt by 2015.

3.0 India: raw material availability
3.1 Coking Coal
India has 276 billion tonnes (Bt) of coal reserves, of which 12% is coking coal. The quality of
local coking coal is poor with a high ash content necessitating beneficiation. To ensure an
ash content of less than 10%, local washed coal needs to be blended with imported high
quality coking. Absence of good quality domestic coking coal has forced Indian steel
makers to import coking coal (31Mt -2009) primarily from Australia. A few steel producers
like Tata Steel, JSW Steel etc have ventured abroad to procure coking coal mines. These
mines have been acquired in countries like Australia, Mozambique and the United States.
Coking coal has been in high demand but overall production has been constrained even in
countries like Australia forcing companies to look at alternative sources like Mozambique
and the United States. Forecast high demand from Asian nations has prompted the
development of new coal fields in Africa. India is heavily dependent upon coking coal
imports to ensure steel production continues its upward trajectory.
3.2 Iron Ore
As per The United Nations Framework Classification (UNFC) reporting code on 01-04-2005,
India has a huge resource base of almost 25.2 billion tonnes of iron ore comprising of
hematite (14.6Bt) and magnetite (10.6Bt). Indian iron ore reserves are mainly located in the
states of Orissa, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Goa and Tamil
Nadu. Indian iron ore is good quality with most of the mined ore able to be fed directly to
blast furnaces with minimum processing. The fines generated from blast furnaces are
exported to China. However, an increasing number of pelletisation plants have been
developed to process fines to pellets of blast furnace feed grade quality. Self sufficiency of
iron ore is an important part of India’s steel growth. India’s iron ore demand was 104Mt in
2009 and is expected to rise as new plants are commissioned. High grade iron ore is slowly
being consumed and hence new exploration for local iron ore is needed, particularly in
reserve rich states like Jharkhand, Orissa and Chhattisgarh.

4.0 Chinese steel industry: Consolidation after high growth
4.1 Overview
China’s steel industry is not only the largest in the world; it is also the fastest growing with
18% annualised growth over the past decade. China’s production capacity is more than the
combined top nine steel producing countries in the world. It is also the world largest market
for steel and the largest importer of iron ore in the world.
Today, China contributes 46% of the world steel production and 48% of the world steel
consumption. It has transformed itself from being a net importer to a net exporter over the
past decade.
The Chinese government has moved to try and control this exponential growth and is now
actively supporting consolidation in the steel industry. It is in a position to do so as the steel
industry in China is highly fragmented and largely state owned.
5.0 China: Steel demand and production
To meet the demands of a growing economy, China has developed an enviable steel industry that
has seen demand grow at 18% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the past decade. In
2009, the Chinese steel industry produced a record 567.8Mt of steel with a demand of 542Mt. That
same year saw per capita consumption of 405 Kg compared to crude steel production of 425 kg. The
demand is mainly driven by the construction sector (63%) with machinery and metal products
contributing 18% and 7 % respectively.
The Chinese steel industry is primarily based on blast furnace technology and it dominates the
production capacity with 92% of steel being produced by Oxygen Blown Converters, with the
remaining 8% produced by Electric Furnaces. The industry comprises of large producers like
Baosteel, Hebei, Wuhan and many smaller producers.

6.0 China: raw material availability
6.1 Coking Coal
Coke produced from coking coal is an integral raw material in steel making. China possesses
large reserves of coking coal and is able to produce enough coke to meet its domestic
requirements. However, its coking coal is of low metallurgical quality and it needs to import
high quality coking coal, mainly from Australia. The availability of good quality coking coal
will affect China’s steel production and imports of coking coal are expected to rise over the
next few years. China imported 34Mt in 2009, a number that is expected to rise in the near
future.
6.2 Iron Ore
China is heavily dependent upon imported iron ore due to the low quality of local iron ore.
There are several iron ore mines in China, but local supply has not been able to meet
demand. As a result China has been dependent on imported iron ore (628Mt -2009), mainly
from Australia, Brazil and India. Like India, high grade imported ore is blended with the low
quality domestic ore to ensure that it is of blast furnace feed grade. The Chinese steel
industry is predominantly based on blast furnace technology and as a result is affected by
the volatility of the iron ore prices. Availability and pricing of iron ore is going to be a key to
the long term growth of the Chinese steel industry.
7.0 Challenges faced by the steel industry in China and India
7.1 Infrastructure
Major steel plants in India are generally located near the iron ore mines ensuring raw
material availability does not affect production. They also tend to have coke batteries in
their plants to ensure availability of coke. However as coking coal is mainly imported, there
are infrastructural bottlenecks in coking coal handling. This is mainly in the ports and
specifically the coal evacuation infrastructure. New coal handling ports are being developed
on the east coast of India which is expected to substantially reduce infrastructural issues.
New investments in rail and road network are expected to further enhance the logistics.

China imports both iron ore and coking coal. It has excellent infrastructure in place to
ensure that coal transport is not affected. It will however need to invest in new road and rail
networks to evacuate coking coal from the newly developed mines in Mongolia to steel
plants located on the coast.
7.2 Regulation
Both the Indian and Chinese steel industries face heavy regulations from their respective
governments. The Indian steel industry is not government controlled but it is dependent upon
statutory requirements like forest clearances for mines and environmental clearances for plant
operations. Because of bureaucratic hurdles, new projects can take a long time to obtain approval .
However, the situation is improving and we are seeing increased new plant development and the
expansion of existing plants. India has recently imposed a carbon tax on imported or domestic coal
to ensure funding for green technology. However, the quantum of this tax is not expected to impact
steel demand or production.
China has focused on consolidating its highly fragmented steel industry whilst also ensuring the
adherence of pollution control measures. China has also initiated the closure of old inefficient and
polluting plants. However, they have also stated that a steel carbon tax will be imposed in the near
future, the quantum of the tax though is not expected to impact steel demand or production.
8.0 Coking coal supplies from Australia and other nations
A critical part of blast furnace based steel production is the supply of coking coal. Currently
Australian coking coal producers are the major market share holders with additional supply being
sourced from the United States and Russia. The Australian coking coal industry has been struggling
to expand capacity to meet demand. Regulatory and infrastructural issues have hampered the
industry’s ability to meet the exploding demand for coking coal. Port infrastructure has not kept
pace with the growth of new production capacity at the mines thus causing problems in coal export.
Other countries like US and Russia have stepped into the market to meet the demand. There has
also been a new development in the African continent where new coking coal mines are being
developed in countries like South Africa, Mozambique and these are expected to cater to the
demand. The African mines hold immense promise and this has been amply illustrated by the
recent acquisition of Riversdale Mining Ltd in Mozambique by Rio Tinto.
