INDIAN STEEL INDUSTRY

Globally, crude steel production has attained an altitude of 1239.5 million tones (mt) in CY 06. Share of top ten steel producing countries was about 76.4% with china, leading the pea, contributing almost 34% and India ranked 7 th with a reasonable 3.5%. In the recent past a major swing has been observed in the global steel production trend with a shift from developed countries to developing countries. During CY 03 05 , the CAGR of steel production in developing economies like china (25.5%) and India (9.5%) was much higher than the CAGR of world steel production (8.1%). On the consumption aspect, globally, Indian has emerged as the 5th largest consumer of steel in CY 05. Indian steel industry is characterized by fragmentation, particularly in the downstream segment, with a large number of unorganized players. Energy intensiveness of Indian steel industry is highlighted by its consumption of about 10% and 27% of total electricity and coal consumed respectively by the entire Indian industry. Primary producers (integrated steel producers (ISPs)) in the country produce majority of flat products and secondary producers (mini steel plants) produce most of the long products. Globally, 65.4% of crude steel is produced by BF/BOF route, 31.7% by EAF route and rest by open Hearth method. In India, blast furnace/BOF route dominates with 41% share, followed by induction furnace at 31% EAF at 25% and COREX at 3%. In FY 06, domestic steel production was approx 43%mt. imports and exports as a percentage of steel produced stood at 8.8%(3.77mt) and 10.2%(4.35mt) respectively. In Page | 3

FY 06 India consumed about 38mt of steel infrastructure sector being the largest consumer. The demand for flat steel in the country is increasing with the growth in automobile and consumer durable industry. Cost of production of steel depends in technology empl9oyed for production and extent of backward integration sourcing of power and raw material. Typical power consumption per tones of steel produced ranges between 500 650 Kwh. Raw material accounts for 60% 70% and energy (coal and power) 25% - 30% of total cost of production. India has self sufficient in iron ore but for coking coal, coke and scrap it has to depend on imports. In FY 06, India produced about 166mt of iron ore out of which 66.3%mt was consumed by domestic steel producers and the rest was exported. The demand growth of scrap is expected to be lower because of substitution by spo9nage iron. Since 2005, out of totals global production of 56.05mt of sponge iron, India produced around 11.1%mt (19.8%). In line with production target of 110 mt of steel (national steel policy) by FY 20, many steel producers have announced their capacity expansion plans by signing MOUs with various state governments like Chattisgarh, Orrisa and Jharkhand. The steel producers are expected to add around 8mt of capacity by FY 08. We estimate that during 2006 09, demand for steel in the domestic market would grow at a CAGR of 8.4%. HR steel because of its widespread applicability is expected to grow at a VCAGR 17.5% during this period; major demand divers would be consumer durables, automobiles and construction. After latent scenario till 2003, international steel prices rose to touch record highs in early 2005, mainly driven by rapid growth in steel demand from developing economies. Domestically, steel prices of flat products follow the international trend. Globally, steel prices are expected to firm up with consumed growth in steel Page | 4

consumption. Further, the winds of consolidation have gathered pace with Arcelor Mittal merger and latest acquisition of Corus by Tata steel. The Indian steel industry has announced huge capacity expansions. With commissioning of these capaciti9es demand capacities ration is expected to d3ecline in FY 09 due to excess capacity.

(HFIW) high frequency induction weld tube mill, for black and galvanized tube and also rectangular and square hollow sections. 3. HFIW tube mill for precision tubes.

Why government and farmers prefer TATA PIPES

Compared to other substitute pipes, Tata pipes are easier to sink as also easier to maintain. They are impervious to attack by rodents Made from pure steel, state of the art HOT strip mill, so longitivity of the pipes are assured. Pure and consistent thick zinc coating both on the inside and outside of the pipe leads to enhanced corrosion resistance leads to longitivity and reliability More weight per length which means greater thickness per length that is longitivity and higher value for money.

GOVERNANCE
The Tubes Business Excellence Council acts as a governing council and provides guidance to the Tubes SBU .The composition of the team is of a cross-functional nature ,which brings to the table varied perspectives and a wide experiential learning, Page | 23

DATA ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION

After collecting the data, first of all score index is calculated. It is calculated by adding up the skills of each supervisor in the particular section. The figure obtained is expressed in terms of percentage. Skill gap is calculated for each department separately. In order to find the skill gap we firstly calculate the desired skill index, with the help of given formula: Desired skill index = (No. of employees * No. of modules)/100*0.75 Then the actual skill index is calculated, Actual skill index = Actual total quadrants/Total no. of employees*No. of modules. Skill gap is basically the difference from the desired score index & the actual score index obtained by surveying. The average of the % of actual skills gives the skill index of a mill. From the following tables the skill index of PT mills can be studied:

PT MILLS

PT Mech. has desired value of 1.08 and its actual level value of 0.96. PT Elec. Have desired value of 0.45 but its actual value is 0.41. Machine shops desired level is 0.45 but its actual value is 0.34. Refractories desired level of index is 0.09 whereas its actual value is 0.09. Dg and Garage has the desired level of 0.47 but its actual index is 0.52. EE&I have desired level of 1.62 but its actual value is calculated as1.86. Page | 35

Actual value of skill Gap is calculated by subtracting actual from desired.

THE GRAPH OF GAP HAS BEEN PLOTTED BELOW

INFERENCE:

From the graph, we observe that PT Mechanical and machine Shop

have the maximum Gap level of values 0.12 and 0.11 whereas PT Electrical comes next with a value of 0.04. Rest of the departments are upon the mark or we can say that they are at desired level. The last heading under which different departments are included is TUBE SERVICES whose chart has been drawn here;

INFERENCE: On the basis of graph, we can assess that Engg. And Devlopment
scores actual skill level index of 0.32 and its desired level is 0.45 which has skill gap of value 0.13. Another department is Finance whose actual skill score is 0.53whereas its desired level is 1.23, hence it has gap of 0.71. A technology service plays a vital role in the organisation. Its actual skill level for technology services for ST is 0.52 and its desired level is 0.62. This is target score. Technology services for PT have scored desired level of 2.0 values but its actual calculated as 2.26 which are also to the mark. Now, Skill Gap is calculated by subtracting actual from desired value.

INFERENCE: On the basis of above graph, it is clear that Finance department scores
maximum gap with the value of 0.7, Engg. And development stands on second position with the value of 0.13. Other departments are above the desired level with the respective values Technology services {ST} -0.1 and Technology services {PT} 0.26. So, in order to bridge the existing gap, it is really very necessary to design some training modules on the basis of their developmental and their functional competencies.

Words of Supervisors;
There is lack of proper and scheduled training at defined time interval. There is less training on developmental areas. Assessment must be done at regular time interval.

CONCLUSION
Planning for training must be done so that every supervisor should be given training according to their need at a defined time interval.

Training is an investment; either external trainer is called or supervisors are sent for external training. So, to avoid this, those supervisors who have scored 100% can be given target to train their subordinates.

Developmental functions are important areas to be taken care of which will help them to enhance their skill.

Since, the major gaps cannot be bridged at one time so there must be a designed classroom training for them on every weekends, as weekends are of half day.

Employees should be sent for training in their own functional area or for Apprenticeship Training to SNTI or JOTC and post-training feedback need to be captured. The training effectiveness on the job is also captured by the training department and discussed with department heads.
