Company Profile
Monnet Ispat & Energy was incorporated on February 1,1990. A Monnet group
company, it is engaged in the business of sponge iron, steel ingot & billets and coal
mining.
Monnet Ispat Ltd has an excellent manufacturing setup for sponge iron, steel billets
& ingots. It also has a coal mining division and has now diversified into power
generation for captive consumption.
The success story of Monnet Ispat Limited started with the commissioning of 1 lac
tonne per annum (TPA) sponge iron plant set up at one-fourth the cost of similar
plants. The indigenous technology used in setting up this plant enables Monnet to
produce sponge iron of excellent Quality matching with the product of other plants
set up using highly capital intensive foreign technology. With the addition of a second
Rotary Kiln, Monnet has ensured augmentation of a capacity to 2.30 lac TPA.
Additionally two rotary kilns each of 35000 TPA were comissioned in second half of
2003.
The plant is located in Raipur, Chattisgarh state, close to the source of its main raw
materials -- iron ore and coal. In future to increase its competitive edge, Monnet has
entered into mining of coal and iron ore from captive mines.
Monnet has come a long way in a very short span of time. It views human resource as
the company's most valuable asset, much more valuable than the other factors of
productions i.e. money, materials and machinery. A product can be duplicated,
technology is available for a price, but human being are non-duplicable. In the 21st
Page 5
5
century, the human resource is going to be the competitive advantage of any
company, be it in the manufacturing or the service sector. A customer driven
company, we at Monnet, are as much concerned about our external customers as we
are about our internal customers.
Product range of the company includes:
Sponge iron, steel and ferro alloys. In addition, the Group is engaged in mining of
coal and power generation for captive consumption.

Industry Overview
The Indian steel industry has witnessed steady growth, on the back of various
initiatives taken by the Government of India. The soaring demand from different
sectors, such as, infrastructure, real estate and automobile has put the steel industry
in India on the world map.
Economic reforms initiated by the government in 1991 have assisted in the growth of
steel industry. Prior to the reforms, the steel industry was dominated by the public
sector. However, after the reforms this sector became open to private investments and
foreign investments. The 1991 reforms allowed for no licenses to be required for
capacity creation, except for some locations. A lot of new steel plants have been set up
in the country due to huge foreign investments and state-of-the-art technology. Tata
Steel was the first steel plant established in 1907 in India. Some of the other steel
plants in the country include Bhilai Steel Plant at Chattisgarh, Rourkela Steel Plant at
Orissa, Durgapur Steel Plant at West Bengal to name a few. In 2010, India was ranked
as the fourth largest producer of steel by the World Steel Association.
Page 12

The Indian steel industry began expanding into Europe during the 21st century. In
January 2007, Tata Steel made a successful US$ 11.3 billion offer to acquire
European steel maker Corus Group PLC. In 2006, Mittal Steel acquired Arcelor for
US$ 38.3 billion to become the world's biggest steel giant.
Some of the growth drivers helping the sector to grow are:
• Abundant availability of iron ore in the country with states such as Orissa,
Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh are rich in iron ore reserves. The National
Minerals Development Corporation (NMDC) plans to expand its iron ore
production capacity from its existing capacity of 30 million tonnes per annum
(MTPA) to 50 MTPA by 2014–15 through the capacity expansion of current
mines as well as by setting up new mines.
• The country has well established facilities for the production of steel.
Market Size
Steel industry is of great significance to the economic growth of the country. India has
been ranked the world’s fifth largest producer of crude steel in 2009 and is projected
to become the world’s second largest producer by 2015–2016, with a production
volume of 54.5 million tonnes (MT). Various states have signed around 222
memorandums of understanding (MoUs), with a projected capacity of about 275.7 MT
and an investment of more than US$ 229 billion.
The steel production capacity is likely to reach 124 MT by 2011–12. In 2008–09, the
installed capacity for crude steel was estimated at 64.4 MT, while production was
estimated at 54.5 MT, resulting in an 85 per cent capacity utilisation. Long-products
constituted 57 per cent of the total finished steel consumption, while the remaining 43
per cent was constituted by flat-products in 2007–08.
The Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007–2012) has allocated investments worth US$ 490
billion for the infrastructure sector, comprising power, roads, highways, railways,
ports, airports, mining and irrigation. Steel giants such as JSW Steel and Tata Steel
are investing to enhance the capacities of products such as TMT bars (rebars) and
many more.

Investments
• Tata Steel plans to set up a steel plant at Kalinga Nagar, Orissa, which will
focus entirely on flat steel products. The first phase is expected to be
commissioned by February 2014. The first phase will see an investment of up to
Rs 25,000 crore (US$ 5.631 billion), of which the steel maker has already
invested over Rs 10,000 crore (US$ 2.252 billion).
• Recently South-Korean steel company Posco, got permission from the Ministry
of Environment and Forest to set up a steel project worth US$ 12 billion in
Orissa.
• Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP) the sole producer of rails in India has recently received
another order for exporting rails to Sri Lanka. The order is of about 14,000
tonnes for the UIC-60 grade of rails. Earlier, the company had received an order
to supply 6,500 tonnes of rails to Sri Lanka.
• RINL, the corporate entity that runs the Vizag steel plant, has inaugurated a
series of auxiliary units to expand the capacity of the plant to 6.3 MT The
project has been executed by Instrumentation Ltd, Kota and associates at a
cost of around Rs 10 crore (US$ 2.25 million).
• Varia Engineering Works Pvt Ltd, Ahmedabad-based rolling mills
manufacturing company, is setting up India's first 6-stand continuous cold
rolling mill for manufacturing stainless steel.
• Tata Steel is planning to set up six MTPA plant at Kalinga Nagar, Orissa, which
will produce flat products, catering to the needs of the automotive industry and
white goods. Phase-I of the plant, at an investment of Rs 25,000 crore (US$
5.60 billion) is expected to be commissioned by January-February 2014.
Government Initiatives
• The Indian Government has laid more importance on infrastructure
development in the Union Budget 2011. This would help in development of
highways, ports, power projects, bridges and others, which will therefore
increase the demand for steel.
Page 14

• With effect from May 24, 1992 steel industry was incorporated in the list of
‘high priority’ industries for automatic approval for foreign equity investment up
to 51 per cent. This limit has since been increased to 100 per cent.
• Import duties on key steel-making raw materials, comprising of mineral
products, ores and concentrates have seen noteworthy reductions in successive
budgets during the last few years.
• The government introduced special economic zones (SEZs) in June 2005, with
the plan of creating internationally competitive regions. Steel plants operating
in SEZs receive some advantages like tax holiday; they can freely source inputs
domestically or externally without any specific approval or duty payable.
Indian Steel Industry: Road Ahead
The Indian crude steel production will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
of around 10 per cent during 2010-2013, according to a research report by RNCOS
titled, “Indian Steel Industry Outlook to 2012.”Additionally, various initiatives have
been taken by the Government to boost economic growth, by injecting funds in
industries such as construction, infrastructure, automobile, and power. This will
provide an impetus for growth for the steel industry in future. The report also states
that steel consumption in India is expected to grow considerably in coming years.
Another report by Global Consultancy firm Ernst & Young states that India would
have annual production capacity of 101 MT in 2011-12.
Attracted by the growth prospective of the Indian steel industry, numerous global steel
players have been planning to enter the market or have announced their expansion
plans. For instance, ArcelorMittal and POSCO have planned mega Greenfield projects
at various locations in India.
Additionally, few other global players have entered into strategic partnerships or joint
ventures with Indian steel majors to capitalise on their existing client base in the
region.
