CHAPTER -1
INTRODUCTION
STEEL ATHOURITY OF INDIA LIMITED (SAIL)
During struggle for independence, Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru our first prime minister
of independent India had a very clear vision about the role of steel in the
development of our nation. Although Tata Iron & Steel Co. 9TISCO) established
in 1907 marking the beginning of Indian Steel industry followed by Indian Steel
Corporation (1918) they were too small to meet the development requirement of
a big country like ours. Therefore, in the first industrial policy resolution of the
government soon after independence, government decided to establish steel
plant in Public Sector only. However work could be started at faster pace in 1954

BACKGROUND & HISTORY OF SAIL :
A Rich Heritage:
The Precursor
SAIL traces its origin to the formative years of an emerging nation-India. After
independence the builders of modern India worked with a vision - to lay the
infrastructure for rapid industrialization of the country. The steel sector was to
propel the economic growth. Hindustan Steel Private Limited was set up on
January 19, 1954. The President of India held the shares of the company on
behalf of the people of India.
Expanding Horizon (1959-1973)
Hindustan Steel Limited (HSL) was initially designed to manage only one plant
that was coming up at Rourkela. For Bhilai and Durgapur Steel Plants, the
preliminary work was done by the Iron and Steel Ministry. From April 1957 the
supervision and control of these two steel plant were also transferred to
Hindustan Steel. The registered office was originally in New Delhi. It moved to
Kolkata in July 1956 and ultimately to Ranchi in December 1959.
A new steel company, Bakaro Steel Limited was incorporated in January 1964 to
construct and operate the steel plant at Bakaro. The 1 MT phases of Bhilai and
rourkela Steel plants were completed by the end of December 1961. The 1MT
phase of "Durgapur Steel Plant” was completed in January 1962 after
commissioning of the Wheel and Axle plant. The crude steel production of HSL
went up from 1.58 MT (1959-60) to 1.6 MT. The second phase of Bhilai Steel
Plant was completed in September 1967 after commissioning of the Wire Rod
Mill. The last unit of the 1.8 MT phase of Rourkela the Tandem Mill - was
commissioned in February 1967, and the 1.6 MT stage of Durgapur Steel Plant
was completed in August 1969 after commissioning of the Furnace in SMS. Thus
with the completion of the 2.5 MT stage at Bhilai 1.8 MT at Rurkela and 1.6 MT at

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/a-comprehesive-study-of-marketing-strategy-for-the-secondary-products-1 13/71
Durgapur, the total crude steel production capacity of HSL was raised to 3.7 MT
in1968-69 and subsequently to 4MT in 1972-73.
Holding Company
The Ministry of Steel and Mines drafted a policy statement to evolve a new model
for managing industry. The policy statement was presented to the Parliament on
December 2, 1972. On this basis the concept of creating a holding company to
manage inputs and outputs under one umbrella was mooted. This led to the
formation of Steel Authority of India Ltd. The company, incorporated on January
24, 1973 with an authorized capital of Rs. 2000 Crs. was made responsible for
managing five integrated steel plants at Bhilai, Bokaro, Durapur, "Rourkela and
Burnpur, the Alloy Steel Plant and the Salem Steel Plant. In 1978 SAIL wasrestructured as an operating company.
Since its inception SAIL has been instrumental in laying a sound infrastructure for
the industrial development of the country. Beside, it has immensely contributed to
the development of technical and managerial expertise. It has triggered the
secondary and tertiary waves of economic growth by continuously providing the
inputs for the consuming industry.
SALES RESIDENT MANAGER (SRM):
There are four SRM’s located at the four integrated steel plants. The SRM acts
as an interface between the CMO and the steel plant.
The role of SRM are:
• To check the availability of materials in the plant and to oversee the
increase in production.
• To make the final rolling plan.
• To dispatch material as per orders.
• To prepare demand forecast every month.

• SAIL Today
SAIL today is one of the largest industrial in India. Its strength has been the
diversified range of quality steel products catering to the domestic, as well as the
export markets and a large pool of technical and professional; expertise.
Having achieved the initial goal of laying the foundation for the industrial
development of the country. SAIL took up the new challenge of facing the era of
liberalized economy and the emerging competitive scenario in the Steel market
on the eve of entering the new millennium, SAIL launched its Financial and
Business restructuring program. The strategy includes a divestment of non-core
activities, restructuring of marketing function and a focus on pruning cost of
operation. The goal for the company is to emerge as one of the lowest cost
producer in the global steel market.

The net sales realization from all the secondary products, by- products
and co- products of BSP is around Rs. 600 Cr. Which is quite more then many of
the big industries. Out of this the steel scraps arising itself bring about Rs. 150-200
crores of money every year. Re-production of main product from these secondary
products requires remolding it again for the required composition of the material as
per the desired specification.
By selling it
to the different mills/traders/processors the plant earn about Rs. 4000 per tones of
direct product then by reproducing it to the main product. Through the
traders/processors/re-rollers, using these arising as a raw material for different
finished products are making huge profit, the plant is also not losing anything.
Profit is the aim of every business, and when the reutilization of these products for
the finished products proves to be costlier, the management plans to sell it to the
local market.

1. The initial face of BSP due to the limited product of steel it is also observe that
secondary products where dominated and there fore the specific marketing
activities towards sales of secondary products was absent in fact it was
uneconomical to have marketing activities during that period.
2. Due to new technologies its capacity has increased significance in late 90’s.
3. Due to change in economic scenario of India and companies policies towards
earning profits has led to implement marketing policies for secondary products.
4. The marketing strategies adapted by the organization were giving rise to
increase in competition between public sector unit & private sector companies.
Due to this end users were having options to choose from following strategies

In this method the defective material from all mills is arranged in heaps of
100-150 tones to be sold by auction. Generally, auction sale take please once in a
month. Representative from all the re-rolling mills turn up during auction and they
bid for the available material. The raw material need of these mills is being met by
the plant and the availability of the re-rollable have increased the re-rolling mills to
develop very fast. The plant extended all type of facility and assistance to these
small scale units which in turn give scope for more employment. Then the material
is lifted on the term and conditions as mentioned in the tenders.

The re-rollable material is also sold through marketing department. The
percentage of material to be sold by auction or by marketing department depends
upon the management decision. There are different re-rollable materials coming
from different mills that can be sold. The pricing of these materials is carried out by
the pricing committee depending upon:

largely guided by the price offered by the bidder during the auction. The various
factors taken into consideration while pricing the re-rollable items can be
enumerated as follows:

SCOPE OF THE STUDY :
As discussed in above chapter related to steel industry in India, it is
showing the increase in steel production every year as compared to previous
year and hence it created interest for me to study the marketing & sales activities
related to secondary products. Secondary products are nothing but scrap or
defected material. In this cut throat competition organization should give
importance to marketing in sales activities of secondary products, which
alternatively add on to the profits of the organization, this study is mainly
concentrating on identifying the area of importance and cost saving related tomarketing of secondary products.
Limitation of Study :
1. The study deals with only BSP point of view.
2. As the major customer of BSP products are not an individual person.
It was very difficult to get formal feedback from them.

This project contains the study of Marketing & sales analysis of secondary
products. Secondary products are the scrap or defected material along with
the finished products.
The study has received very interesting facts above the secondary
products. Therefore from study & Analysis ( through questionnaire) I have
concluded on following points.
While study the history of SAIL (Sail authority of India limited). BSP is a
part of SAIL. I also study history about BSP. It was established on 2nd
Feb.1955 with capacity of 1 MT. Now its production is 4MT per year.In my
study I had a some objects, like that marketing of secondary product, it’s
pricing policy & use of this product and also why necessary for selling it.
Majority of the companies buy the steel scrab from BSP and also they buy
Iron scrap, melting scrap etc.
From the primary data collection we can conclude that most of the
company who are using secondary products of steel company have been
established during 90’s and their average consumption lies between 5000T to
10000T.
Most of the surveyed companies are dealing with BSP since last 10 years
and most of them buyers of secondary products from BSP only.
The customer are satisfy with order registration process and companies
policies in BSP, they also shown magurity preference of buying goods
through tender process.
Customer are also satisfy with payment & distribution policies of BSP.
They have also felt that there are very few instances from delay.

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY :
Some data were confidential therefore were not available for analysis.
TIME FACTOR:- Time factor was the chief limitation of study. Limited
time
was allotted for the study.
COST FACTOR : Another major constraint was cost. The study involved
Substantial cost and was beyond the affordability of
theme
INFORMATION FROM RESPONDENTS:
Some biased response came from respondent and Finding stated in
the report was based on the answers from the questionnaire. So the effect of
misinterpretation and wrong answers may affect the outcome of the project.
The research has focused his attention mainly in and around Bhilai.
As the major customer of BSP products are not individual persons. It was
very difficult to formal feedback from them.

RECOMMENDATIONS :
1. The pricing as well as the distribution policies should be framed by keeping in
mind the requirements of the complete ranges of manufacture and only the bulk
consumer. This will encourage the new re- rolling mills to approach BSP for the
materials.
2. Ensure delivery of the material for which the payment is received in advance.
3. Alternatively, if the material is not available, the BSP authorities should not
accept the payment so that the buyer can approach some other sources for
producing the material and should not unnecessarily wait for the material, which
is not available.
4. Many a times BSP is not in a position to supply the full quantity of material for
which the payment has been received. In such cases, the refund of the excess
amount should be thought a stream lined process so that it does not tack longtime.
5. Prices list made available to the various re-rollers every month by BSP.
6. The material being sold by marketing department should accompany test
certificate mentioning only the range of carbon content in it for which the
customers are ready to pay reasonably higher prices.
7. Generation of secondary products must be tried to minimize which will help the
BSP in optimum use of raw materials.
