India has sanctioned a massive investment of 114.4 billion rupees ($1.3 billion) to resuscitate Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd (RINL). According to a report by Bloomberg, this financial injection is critical due to RINL's current fiscal volatility.
The government is channeling 103 billion rupees as equity, effectively purchasing shares of the company, while converting a working capital debt of 11.4 billion rupees into preference shares. As of March last year, the company's net worth was in negative territory by 45.4 billion rupees and liabilities had surged to over three times its assets. June saw the company defaulting on project loan repayments, precluding the possibility of acquiring new debt.
RINL, situated in Visakhapatnam, has the capability to produce 7.3 million tons of liquid steel annually and is poised to reignite operations at two blast furnaces this month, with plans to engage a third by August. The current slump in global steel prices, particularly a 35% drop in hot-rolled coil prices over the preceding year, has compounded RINL's challenges.
India's Steel Import and Export Landscape
In 2023, India exported raw steel and semi-finished products valued at 761 million USD, with Italy being the top destination at 300.3 million USD, followed by Nepal (133.4 million USD), Turkey (80.6 million USD), Indonesia (45.3 million USD), and the United States (42 million USD). Conversely, imports significantly outweighed exports, with India importing steel worth 1.7 billion USD. Indonesia led the list of import sources, contributing 1.4 billion USD, with Russia (86.8 million USD), Sweden (66.6 million USD), China (40.4 million USD), and Oman (26.7 million USD) trailing behind.
The disparity between imports and exports underscores the challenges facing India's steel industry and highlights the importance of initiatives like the RINL investment aimed at enhancing domestic production capabilities and reducing import dependency.
