Chairman's AddressDear Shareholders,

I have great pleasure in welcoming you all to the 30th Annual General Meeting of yourCompany. At the outset, I am happy to inform that your company, in 2011-12, clocked arecord turnover of l4,462 Cr. with a growth of 26%. On the production front, besidessurpassing 100% capacity for the 11th consecutive year, improvement was achieved inimportant technical parameters such as Fuel Rate, Energy Consumption and WaterConsumption. These helped the company to register a Profit after Tax of 751 Cr for theyear, with a growth of 14%. Additionally, Stage-1 of 6.3 Mtpa Expansion was brought to thestage of hot commissioning. These achievements were possible only through consistent

efforts of all the stakeholders and the dedicated RINL collective.

The Directors' Report and the Audited Statement of Accounts for the year 2011-12 and the Notice to the Shareholders have already been circulated and with your permission, I take them as read.

Year 2011-12:

In 2011-12, your Company achieved 'good overall performance earning Excellent rating ' against the MOUsigned with the Ministry of Steel for the 3rd consecutive year.

While commissioning activities of various units under 6.3 Mtpa Expansion are continuing, significant progresshas been achieved in Modernisation and Upgradation of BF-1. Order has been placed for Revamp of Converters.Further, tenders are under finalization for installation of additional Converter and Caster. The implementation ofthese packages would take us to 7.3 Mtpa. To keep up the momentum of capital investment, Projects costingabout 6,000 Cr got approved which include the installation of Seamless Tube Mill and Coke Oven Battery-5and the project report for the next stage of expansion to 11/12 Mtpa is under active consideration.

Strategic initiatives for business development continued by entering into MOUs with potential stakeholders forexpansion and enhancement of existing capacity, stabilising its product portfolio and securing raw material availabilityglobally. Major of such initiatives include signing of MOUs with Indian Railways for an Axle Plant in New Jalpaiguri,West Bengal, with Power Grid Corporation of India Limited for Manufacture of Tower and Tower Parts and Productionof CRGO / CRNO Electrical Steel, with NMDC for Slurry Pipeline and Pelletisation Plant. Other strategic initiativesbeing pursued such as Captive Jetty, Fly Ash based Cement Plant and Steel Processing Units would stand theCompany in good stead.

As we move ahead to the next trajectory of growth and business excellence, I seek the support and encouragementof all our Stakeholders.

World Steel Scenario:

Despite a series of developments in 2011, including the European sovereign debt crisis, earthquakes in Japan, thepolitical/social unrest in some countries of the MENA region leading to a related surge in oil prices and thetightening of government monetary measures in many emerging economies, World steel demand achieved agrowth of 5.6% in 2011. According to the World Steel Association (WSA), Japan's demand for steel is expected todecline by 0.6% in 2012 due to the impact of exchange rate appreciation. In 2013, apparent steel consumptionin Japan is expected to further decline by 2.2%, reaching 77% of its 2007 level. On the other hand, Emergingeconomies are expected to continue to drive growth. According to the WSA, by 2013, Steel use in the emergingeconomies is forecast to be 45% above 2007 levels, and will account for 73% of world steel demand, as opposedto 61% in 2OO7. China is expected to witness a continual growth of 4.0% in 2012 and 4.0% in 2013. Morenotably, India is expected to increase its steel consumption by 6.9% in 2012 and 9.4% in 2013.

Indian steel demand:

During 11th Five Year Plan, Government of India had emphasized the need for massive expansion in investmentin infrastructure which includes construction of roads, railways, ports, airports, electricity, telecommunications,oil gas pipelines, irrigation etc. Total investment estimated to have increased from 5.7% of GDP in the base yearof the Eleventh Plan to around 8.0% in the last year of the Plan.

In Twelfth Plan as well, Gol is aiming continued thrust on accelerating the pace of investment in infrastructure,as this is critical for sustaining and accelerating growth. Infrastructure investment is aimed to increase fromabout 8.0% of GDP in the base year (2011-12) of the Plan to about 10.0% of GDP in 2016-17. The totalinvestment in infrastructure is aimed to be over 45 lakh Cr. or $ 1 trillion during the Twelfth Plan period, doublethe investment of 11th Plan.

These investments in infrastructure augur well for steel demand. The demand is projected to grow at a healthyrate of 10.3% in the 12th Plan Period.

Competition:

In this constantly changing world, the competition has become further intense particularly due to creation of veryhigh production capacities in China. Now, the competitors are identifying newer growth opportunities anddifferentiating their offerings to customers in the market place. Technology is going to be the KEY enabler toachieve this dual objective of growth and differentiation. Your company, as a well-established player in the LongProducts category, is well equipped and confident of facing the challenge of competition.

Good Corporate Governance involves a commitment of a company to run its businesses in a legal, ethical andtransparent manner - a dedication that must come from the very Top and permeate throughout the organisation.Your company's commitment to transparency in Corporate Governance is reflected in its establishing systems forevery process. Your Company has complied with Corporate Governance norms as stipulated by the DPE Guidelines.A separate Report on Corporate Governance along with Certificate on Compliance of CG guidelines & SecretarialCompliance form part of the Director's Report.

RINL is well known for its role in maintaining clean environment for future generations and has been a pioneer inthe Indian Steel Industry for many environmentally friendly initiatives. During 2011-12, the Company hascommissioned 14 MW Power Plant utilising waste heat from Coke Dry Quenching Process and is about tocommission another 14 MW Power Plant utilising Top Pressure of BF Gas. Additionally, 20.6 MW Power Plantutilizing waste heat from Sinter Cooler and 120 MW Power Plant utilizing waste heat of BF Gas are underimplementation. On completion of these projects, 323 MW out of total 515 MW installed capacity would be fromWaste Energy. Zero Water Discharge scheme to generate soft water of 2 mgd has been commissioned. Besidesthis, RINL has conducted Mass Plantation Melas to bring awareness and create responsibility. 31,000 treeswere planted during 2011-12 and More than 48 lakhs trees were already planted by the Company till end ofMarch 2012.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISREPORT FOR 2011-12

1. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

1.1. Global Economic Environment:

As per International Monetary Fund (IMF) report on world economic outlook - April 2012, after sufferinga major setback during 2011, global prospects are gradually strengthening again, but downside risksremain elevated. IMF report further states that Global growth is projected to drop from about 4% in2011 to about 3.5% in 2012 because of weak activity during the second half of 2011 and the first halfof 2012. Policies directed at real estate markets can accelerate the improvement of household balancesheets and thus support otherwise anaemic consumption. Emerging and developing economies continueto reap the benefits of strong macroeconomic and structural policies, but domestic vulnerabilities havebeen gradually building up. Many of these economies have had an unusually good run over the pastdecade, supported by rapid credit growth or high commodity prices.

1.2. Global Steel industry:

As per World Steel Association, Steel Industry directly employs more than two million people worldwide,with a further two million contractors and four million people in the supporting industries. Consideringsteel's position as the key product supplier to industries such as automotive, construction, transport,power and machine goods, and using a multiplier of 25:1, the steel industry is at the source ofemployment for more than 50 million people. World crude steel production has increased from 851 Mtin 2001 to 1,527 Mt in 2011. (It was 28.3 Mt in 1900). World average steel use per capita hassteadily increased from 150 kg in 2001 to 220 kg in 2010. India, Brazil, South Korea and Turkey haveall entered the top 10 steel producers list in the last 40 years.

Global production capacity, trade policies of countries and the regional demand-supply scenario alsostrongly influence the industry. Steel producers may attempt to reduce the impact of cyclicality throughvarious measures, such as diversification of manufacturing operations to various geographies (preferablyemerging markets with low-cost operations), vertical integration into raw material production,diversification of customer base and focus on value-added products etc.

1.2.1. Global Steel Production:

Global crude steel production (of the 64 countries reported) in 2011 was approximately 1,490 Mt accordingto the World Steel Association Crude Steel Production 2011 ("WSA"), while global apparent steelconsumption (which reflects the deliveries of steel to the marketplace from domestic steel producersand imported steel) of finished steel was 1,373 Mt (WSA Short Range Outlook, Apr. 2012).

Region Increase in production Remarksover the previous year (according to the WSA)

Asia 5.6% 9.0% increase in China5.7% increase in India14.7% increase in Taiwan1.8% decrease in Japan

North America 6.8% 7.1% increase in the United StatesCIS Countries 3.9% 2.7% increase in Russia and

5.7% increase in UkraineEU of 27 countries 2.8% 1.0% increase in Germany and("EU27") 11.3% increase in ItalyOther Europe countries 10.7% 17.0% increase in TurkeyOverall global crude steel 1490 Mtproduction (based on the64 countries reporting)

According to the WSA, global steel production grew on average by 2.4% per year from 1995 to 2000 and6.1% per year from 2000 to 2005. Over the period from 2005 to 2011, global steel production increasedby approximately 8.0% per year. Individual rates for these years ranged from a 14.9% growth in 2010 toa 7.9% reduction in 2009.

Over the past decade, steel production continued to shift from its traditional base in heavily industrialisedcountries to fast-growing emerging markets such as China and India. The recent production shift to Asiahas largely been the result of proximity to the major growth markets for steel consumption and thegreater availability of key raw materials. Moreover, while production in Europe, Japan and the UnitedStates has improved after the economic slowdown in 2008 and 2009, steel producers in those regionsface continued challenges due to slowing demand. The recent shift to Asia is also evident in the numberof Asia based steel producers who are ranked among the top ten in crude steel production. In 2001,there were four European companies in the top ten steelmakers. While, in 2010, the only steelmaker inthe top ten with headquarters in Europe was Arcelor Mittal.

1.2.2. Global Steel Consumption:

According to the WSA, overall apparent steel consumption in 2011 was 1373 Mt, representing a 6.2%increase over the previous year. The following table sets forth apparent steel consumption data by countryor region wise for the periods indicated:

1.2.3. Global Steel Prices:

Steel prices are volatile and fluctuate in response to changes in global supply and demand, raw materialcosts and general economic conditions. After a downturn in demand beginning in 1998, global steelprices reached a historic low in the third quarter of 2001. Since then, global steel prices have generallyincreased, reflecting stronger global demand, notably led by China. The steel industry also fluctuates inresponse to a combination of factors, including the availability and cost of raw materials, global productioncapacity, the existence of, and changes in steel imports, exchange rates, transportation and labour costsand protective trade measures.

In recent years, global steel prices have also been increasingly volatile due to an increase in suppliersacross global markets and levels of steel trading as a percentage of total steel production.

1.2.4. Market Trends:

The emergence of China as a significant producer and consumer of steel has been, and will continue tobe, a significant factor affecting the global steel industry. Several additional trends have emerged: viz

i. Higher raw material costs. The cost of procuring key raw materials used in the production of steel,including iron ore and coking coal, has steadily increased due to the robust growth in global crude steelproduction levels. During the Calendar Years 2009-11, average iron ore prices increased at a CAGR of46.7% and coking coal prices increased by 30.2%. In addition, many of these materials are concentratedin a limited number of locations, which add to the costs associated with transportation and logistics ofsourcing such raw materials. Consequently, many major iron ore and coal producers are investing in newmines to increase production capacity.

ii. Increased bargaining power of raw material suppliers. Continuous expansion of the steel industryhas resulted in a greater level of competition for raw materials, including iron ore and coal. Shortages ofsupplies in the market have allowed suppliers of iron ore and coal to restructure their pricing mechanisms,shifting from annual to shorter-term price contracts. These changes expose steel producers to additionalvolatility and price risk. While firmness in steel prices has given iron ore producers opportunities to increaseprices in the contracts, steel companies do not always have the option to pass on such increase in inputprices to end consumers due to the fragmented market. Thus, many leading steel companies are lookingto pursue investments in mines as a safeguard measure against rising raw material costs. Steel producershave responded to these industry trends in past through vertical integration. Chinese steel producers arealso consolidating to become major market participants.

Despite recent consolidations, the global steel market continuous to be highly fragmented. According tothe WSA, the five largest global steel producers in 2010 accounted for approximately 16.7% of totalworldwide steel production, and the fifteen largest steel producers accounted for approximately 30.5%of total global steel production.

iii. Shift to emerging markets. Steel production and trade have become increasingly globalised, withproduction shifting from mature to emerging economies. Developed countries have experienced increasedcosts associated with labour, freight and raw materials, which in turn have reduced the economic viabilityof basic steel production. In contrast, emerging markets, such as India, have become targets for globalsteel producers because of their relatively low steel penetration alongside relatively strong GDP growthoutlook. Global steel producers are still looking to grow and are developing new capacity closer to theChinese and Indian markets, including forming joint ventures and setting up green field operations. Leadingsteel producers such as Arcelor Mittal, Nippon Steel, POSCO and Severstal are setting up, or haveannounced plans to set up, steel operations in India, either through joint ventures or independently.

1.2.5. Global Steel Outlook:

Despite a series of developments in 2011, including the European sovereign debt crisis, earthquakes inJapan, the political/social unrest in some countries of the Middle East and North African (MENA) regionleading to a related surge in oil prices and the tightening of government monetary measures in manyemerging economies, world steel demand achieved a growth of 5.6% in 2011.

Apparent steel consumption in the United States is forecast to rebound by 5.7% in 2012 and 5.6% in2013. Consumption in the EU27, however, is expected to decrease by 1.2% in 2012, with a modestrecovery of 3.3% in 2013, bringing it back to 77.0% of its 2007 level. Japan's demand for steel is expectedto decline by 0.6% in 2012 due to the impact of exchange rate appreciation. In 2013, apparent steelconsumption in Japan is expected to further decline by 2.2%, reaching 77.0% of its 2007 level. China, onthe other hand, is expected to witness a continual growth of 4.0% in 2012 and 4.0% in 2013. India isalso expected to increase its steel consumption by 6.9% in 2012 and 9.4% in 2013.

Emerging economies are expected to continue to drive growth. By 2013, steel use in the emergingeconomies is forecast to be 45.0% above 2007 levels, and will account for 73.0% of world steel demand;as opposed to 61.0% in 2007 (the above are as per WSA Report).

1.3. The Indian Economic Environment :

The Indian economy is one of the largest economies in the world, with a GDP at current prices estimatedat US$1.7 trillion ( 52.8 trillion) for 2010, according to the World Bank. Its economy is better insulatedfrom the global economy than several other Asian countries due to the fact that it does not rely heavily on


41

exports to developed markets. This is supported by strong economic fundamentals, which include highsavings and investment rates and a rapidly growing middle class, helping to ensure a relatively stableeconomic performance for the country. India's economy has grown significantly in recent years with aGDP growth rate estimated at 7.2% in 2011, 6.9% in 2012 and 7.3% in 2013 according to the IMF.

The Union Budget for 2012-13 has identified five objectives to be addressed effectively in the ensuingfiscal year. They include focus on domestic demand driven growth recovery; create conditions for rapidrevival of high growth in private investment; address supply bottlenecks in agriculture, energy and transportsectors particularly in coal, power, national highways, railways and civil aviation.

As per union budget estimates, India's GDP growth in 2012-13 is expected to be 7.6 per cent +/-0.25per cent. India's GDP is estimated to grow at 6.9 per cent in 2011-12 after having grown at the rate of8.4 per cent in each of the two preceding years. Even though the global crisis had affected India, Indiastill remains among the front runners in economic growth.

1.3.1. Indian Steel Production

India is currently the fourth largest crude steel producer in the world, according to the Ministry of Steel,Government of India, and it is likely to become the second largest steel producer by 2016, according tothe Ernst and Young Global Steel: 2010 trends, 2011 outlook report ("E&Y"). Unlike China, where thereis significant excess steelmaking capacity, (Chinese crude steel capacity is expected to be 840.0 Mt in2012, which would be 22% in excess of the expected 688.0 Mt of consumption), India remains a netimporter of steel, which should allow for more growth in steelmaking capacity for domestic Indian steelcompanies. Indian crude steel production increased by a CAGR of 10.5% from 27.3 Mt in 2001 to 66.8Mt in 2010, according to the WSA. In 2011, production increased by 5.7%. Production is expected tofurther increase by 15.3% in 2012 and by 13.4% in 2013, according to E&Y.

1.3.2. Indian Steel Consumption

India is about to enter the first year of the Twelfth "Five Year Plan" which aims at "faster, sustainable andmore inclusive growth." Also aforesaid objectives of the Union Budget 2012-13 are likely to stimulateconsumption of steel in 2012-13.

Demand in India has been driven by the expanding oil and gas and power sectors and spending oninfrastructural facilities, coupled with growth in the housing, consumer durables and automobile sectors.Apparent steel consumption in India is projected to grow by 6.9% in 2012 and 9.4% in 2013 afterrecording a growth of 4.3% in 2011, according to the WSA.

The chart sets out the domestic steelconsumption:

Among end-user sectors, the infrastructure andindustrial construction sectors accounted foraround one-third of total steel consumption inIndia in 2010-11, followed by the pipes and tubesindustry, which accounted for 10% of total steelconsumption and the automobile sector, whichaccounted for 12% of total steel consumption inthe same period, according to CRISIL Research.(Source: CRISIL Research, Steel Products, Dec.2011)


42

The following chart sets out the long steel consumption pattern in India during the 2010-11 period:

While there is currently a strong demand for steel,according to the WSA, India's per capita consumptionof finished steel is still relatively low at 56.3 kg ascompared to China at 445.2 kg, Japan at 538.6 kg,the United States at 291.6 kg and a world average at220.8 kg in 2010. Consequently, the Indian steelindustry still has room to grow substantially, and theIndian steel sector has been targeted as a key sectorfor support by Government of India, which hasencouraged further growth with its increased approvalrate of green field projects. Furthermore, according toEarnest & Young 2010, an additional US$1 trillion ofinvestment is expected to be made in the constructionand infrastructure sectors during the 2012-17 period.Most infrastructure projects consume large amounts of long steel products, and hence there should bea corresponding increase in long steel demand.

The following chart sets the demand outlook for steel products in India for the periodsindicated:

Indian steel producers have a number ofcompetitive advantages, the most important ofwhich is an abundant supply of iron ore resourcesand surplus iron ore production, predominantly inthe east of India. India is the world's fourth-largestiron ore producer, with sufficient iron ore reservesto meet expected demand. Of particular interestis Orissa State, which contains 25% of India's ironore reserves and 20% of India's coal reserves,according to Corporate Catalyst India. Thus, eventhough iron ore prices have been steadilyincreasing towards the end of 2011, domesticIndian steel companies, with their access to excessiron ore, have not faced similar increases in raw material prices as those companies outside of India.Another advantage India has is its unexplored rural market, which has been fairly unexposed to the varieduses of steel. Steps are being taken by companies to penetrate this market, including our Company'ssetting up of its district level dealership and rural dealership schemes.

1.3.3. Indian Steel Prices

Similar to global steel prices, steel prices in India are volatile and fluctuate in response to changes inglobal supply and demand, raw material costs and general economic conditions. The Indian steel industryis linked to global steel prices which fluctuate as aforesaid in response to a combination of factors,including the availability and cost of raw materials, global production capacity, the existence of and changesin, steel imports, exchange rates, transportation and labour costs and protective trade measures.

1.3.4. Market Trends

Expansion in the domestic market. India has increasingly become an important part of the internationalsteel market, and a key growth area for steel production, based on factors including its strong demandfor steel arising from strong economic growth, low per capita steel consumption and abundant iron orereserves. Increase in demand for steel in India has led to a corresponding increase in steel production inIndia, which includes the simultaneous commissioning of the brown field expansion of a number of domesticsteel companies, including our Company, SAIL, Tata Steel and JSW Steel. In addition, internationalsteelmakers are looking to enter the market either through green field expansion or by forming jointventures. For example, POSCO obtained permission to set up a steel mill in the Odisha State. JFE Steel,Japan's second largest steelmaker, signed a collaborative pact with JSW that allows JSW to produceautomotive steel products with the technological expertise of JFE. Japanese steelmaker Kobe Steel isalso planning to sign a joint venture agreement with SAIL to build a 500,000 tonne mill in West Bengalstate to manufacture special-grade steel, which will require an investment of US$400 million, accordingto E&Y 2011. The implementation of these plans may be difficult, however, due to Indian regulationsdealing with land acquisition, mining leases and forest clearances. While crude steel capacity additions of55-60 Mt were announced from the 2011-12 period to the 2015-16 period, domestic steel manufacturersare only expected to add 40-45 Mt of capacity expansion (Source: CRISIL Research, Steel Products,Dec. 2011).

4. SEGMENT-WISE OR PRODUCT-WISE PERFORMANCE :

Details in respect of the above item have already been covered in the Directors' Report which may kindlybe referred to.

5. OUTLOOK FOR THE COMPANY IN 2012-13 :

The year 2012-13 is very crucial for the Company since it set its targets for the year considering theproduction from the Expansion Units which are likely to be commissioned during the year. The MOUsigned with the Government of India envisaged a turnover of ` 15,000 Crores, Production of SaleableSteel of 3.55 million tonnes with a gross margin of ` 1,300 Crores for "Excellent" MoU rating.

The Company looks forward for a stable and sustainable growth in FY 2012-13 despite the risk of slowdownin the growth of domestic steel demand having a high correlation with growth in GDP which is showingsigns of slower growth in the range of 7.5% for FY 12-13 given the likelihood of India's Economy beingweighed down by higher domestic interest rates and a weaker global economy.

The profitability margin in the first half year of 2012-13 is likely to be impacted due to increase in inputscosts (coking coal prices) and reduced steel demand thereby putting pressure on margins for the fullyear.

The rising interest costs and the over capacity are the concerns that are likely to be there in 2012-13resulting in pressure on the bottom-line. In case, the domestic steel demand does not grow as expectedthen there is a need to shift the focus to exports which again is a challenging proposition given thecurrent slowdown in the developed world. While exports would be beneficial with depreciating rupeevalue vis-à-vis dollar, the imported raw materials are likely to be costlier.

3. OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

Opportunities

Huge demand potential in view of theprojected growth.

Encouraging signs due to huge infrastructurespend planned in 12th Five Year Plan.

Projected growth in Steel consumption.

Improved availability of Ports & logistics.

Diversifying to new product mix like Axles andTransmission line towers etc.,

Threats

Stiff competition further compounded bycapacity expansion by competitors and entryof International players.

Single type of product may adversely affectour Company's profitability.

Price cut by Competitors.

Increasing raw material prices & shift of valuechain towards raw materials.

Oligopolistic coal supply side.

Single iron ore supplier - located indisturbance prone areas.

Predominant secondary sector in longproducts.

New materials, products or technologiescould reduce the demand for our steelproducts


45

A sharp decrease in global steel prices due to a global recession and a greater than expected slowdownin China, leading to a surge in imports due to better Indian demand, could adversely affect the profitabilityof domestic steel producers and might result in a negative outlook. In the process, the Company need totrade off among the influencing factors to achieve an optical profit margin.

The Key Issues for 2012-13:

The demand is likely to grow at 6% to 7% only in 2012-13 consequent to growth in constructionsector and deferral of corporate capital expenditure.

The prices of input materials like coal etc., may be stabilized around $ 235 while the depreciatingIndian Rupee may eat away the advantage of stabilized prices.

The Steel prices are likely to remain under pressure in 2012-13 due to subdued domestic demand& global nature of the market coupled with oversupply and weak demand in the international market.

Sovereign concerns in Europe may also cap global steel prices as troubled nations in Europe cutspending to contain their fiscal deficits, thus hitting demand and resulting in the profitability to havea muted growth.

While the depreciating rupee has discouraged Steel imports, it has also made imported raw materialsmore expensive.

The capacity addition in 2012-13 is expected to be around 30 million tonnes due to completion ofbrown field sites which may put pressure on steel prices resulting in reduced profitability.

Considering the above key issues in a dynamic environment, the Company has taken few initiatives asdetailed below:

Initiatives taken by the Company :

Pursuing for Iron ore assets with various State Governments (viz AP, Jharkhand, Odisha, Karnataka,Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh)

MOU with Andhra Pradesh State government for Mining assets and establishing partnership withState Mineral Development Corporations for Iron ore assets.

Pursuing the JV route for setting up of Steel Plants with SAIL, NMDC & BHEL

MOU with Power Grid Corporation of India for joint venture to produce TLT.

Containing / Reducing Manpower Cost per Tonne of Steel produced by (a) increasing the capacity ofPlant to 6.3 Mt; (b) adding further 1 Mt with revamping, (c) adding further capacity of 4 Mtsubsequently; (d) next phase of Expansion to include Bigger size Blast Furnaces and other downstreamunits, and (e) taking full advantage of Automation etc.,

To enter into Flat products business while adding more capacities and making suitable changes inproduct mix.

Wider range of products like Special steel products, CRNO,CRGO, Electrical Steels, Axles for Railwaysetc.,

MOU with NMDC.

6. RISKS & CONCERNS:

Demand for our products is affected by global and national economic conditions. Any developmentwhich decelerates the demand for steel products would have an adverse impact on our Company.


46

The steel industry is highly cyclical and a decrease in steel prices may have an adverse effect on ourCompany's results of operations and financial condition

Significant increases in prices of key raw materials or our inability to continue to procure raw materialsat favourable terms could have an adverse effect on our Company's results of operations and financialposition.

We currently obtain most of our iron ore required for producing steel from NMDC ("National MineralDevelopment Corporation Limited"). Any decrease in supply of iron ore by NMDC would have amaterial adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our Subsidiary has incurred losses.

Our expansion plans may not result in expected benefits

Overcapacity and oversupply in the Indian steel industry may adversely affect our Company'sprofitability

We purchase raw materials from foreign suppliers with foreign currencies and therefore face foreignexchange risks.

Any disruption to our supply of coking coal would have material adverse effect on our Company'sbusiness, results of operations and financial condition.

Our Company does not own the land on which Visakhapatnam Steel Plant ("VSP") and our Registeredand Corporate Office are located.

New materials, products or technologies could reduce the demand for our steel products

7. INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND THEIR ADEQUACY

The Company is having an efficient system of Internal controls for achieving the objectives of the Companyby ensuring efficiency in operations, protection of resources, accuracy and promptness in financial reportingand compliance with the laid down policies and procedures along with relevant Laws and regulations.

In RINL, there is a separate Internal Audit Department and the Internal Audit is conducted by a team ofexperienced Chartered Accountants, Cost Accountants, Engineers including a system analyst withdiversified experience. The Internal Audit Department carries out reviews, evaluates and appraises thevarious systems, procedures and policies of the Company and suggests meaningful and usefulimprovements along with corrective measures wherever required.

The Internal Audit department focuses on transparency in the systems and proper and adequate internalcontrol mechanisms. Annual Audit Programmes are drawn up covering critical areas of various departmentsin order to bring overall improvements in the Company. From time to time, the Audit Committee is beingapprised on status of audit paras.

The Internal control systems are commensurate with the size of the Company and the reports containingsignificant Audit findings are submitted to the Audit Committee of the Company.

The Company has put in place an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Policy and procedure duly approvedby the Board in the year and the same has been put on Company's Website. ERM is being implementedacross the organization covering both Works and Non Works Departments by an In-house team. InternalAudit team is also conducting audit under ERM.

8. DISCUSSION ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE:

8.1. Financial Overview :

For the first time, in the history of RINL sales turnover has surpassed `14,000 Crs mark. RINL hasclocked `14,462 Crs sales turnover during F.Y 2011-12, an increase of over 26% compared to previousyear figures despite subdued domestic demand and unending increase in raw material costs. RINL wasable to achieve this feat mainly due to higher sales realisation and has thus ended the 4 year down trendstreak in profit levels. RINL Profit after Tax (PAT) rose to ` 751 Crs, an increase of ` 93 Crs i.e., over 14%increase when compared to previous year PAT.

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has notified revised schedule VI of the Companies Act, 1956 witheffect from April 1, 2011. As a result, the comparative figures for the previous financial year have beenappropriately restated.

8.2. Financial Performance :

Profit before tax of ` 1,110 Crs was higher by` 138 Crs (13%) over previous year figures of` 982 Crs. The increase in Sales turnover(26%) could not be fully converted into profitsbecause of increase in raw material pricesespecially basic raw materials Coal & iron ore.

The increase in Raw material cost was mainly onaccount of increase in average cost per tonne ofcoal by 26% over previous year and increase inaverage cost per tonne of Iron ore by 6% overthe previous year.Additions made to completely depreciated assetsduring the year have resulted in increase ofdepreciation for the year by 30% over previousyear.

The Share of Saleable steel as a percentage of total sales turnover remained the same at 86% withother products at 14%. Increase in Sale of other products was mainly due to increased sales realisationin Pig Iron and By-products. The company's main business arena continued to be the domestic market,which provided about 97% of the total sales turnover.The proportion of saleable steel and other sales turnover during 2011-12 was as follows:

8.4. Initiatives taken by RINL:

8.4.1. Funds Management

During the year, the company continued its thrust on better fund management. Treasury Managementinitiatives exploited the interest rates scenario by maintaining the investment yield @ 10.67% and at thesame time raised loans at an average cost (Both Domestic & Foreign currency Borrowings) @ 8.45%against much higher market rate of borrowing. During the year, the company has raised loans worth` 1,200 Crs by way of Commercial Papers (CP) at attractive rates (weighted average cost of 9.32%).

FITCH and CRISIL (Credit rating Agencies) have maintained highest rating for short term loans 'F A1+' &'Crisil A1+' respectively and a very good rating of 'Fitch AA (Ind)' for long term loans by FITCH.


51

To ensure faster and timely payment to suppliers, contractors, employees, etc. E-payments were increasedsubstantially and it covered 92% of total payments.

8.4.2. Cost Control Measures

A saving of about ` 402 Crs was achieved during the year by improvement in Techno Economic & Qualityparameters, recovery of waste materials and recycling.

Emphasis on Standardization, improvement in processes, technological up-gradation and innovativemaintenance has resulted in improvement of techno-economic parameters.

Few Quality parameters are also taken as target to bring down cost & to create awareness on cost ofquality.

Substitution of materials for cost advantages: Many innovations have been carried out for utilizing alternativecheaper materials without compromising on quality of output and the same is being pursued vigorously.

The waste materials generated in the plant are identified continuously and are gainfully utilized for improvingthe environmental condition as well as cost saving.
