Demand Analysis for DI Pipes

The demand drivers for pipes in general and DI pipes in particular are:

Economic growth;

Demand for water;

Urbanization ;

Improvement in water supply and sanitation coverage;

Awareness on safety and hygiene;

Investment by the Central and State Governments in Water and Sanitation

schemes;

Assistance from external agencies;

Inter-linking of rivers; and

Export potential.

Economic Growth

Indian economy is likely to grow in the range of 5.4 to 5.9 per cent in 2014-15 and

the outlook is very positive. The average consumer spending has increased

significantly which has fuelled demand for quality infrastructure services like roads,

electric power, transportation, water supply, sanitation, communication, etc.

Demand for Water

Water is a precious resource in India because the country accounts for 16% of the

world population as against just 4% of global water resources. The water use

efficiency is low in the country compared to international standards. As in the

previous years, agriculture will continue to be the major demand segment for water

in India. However, the demand from industries is expected to grow faster than the

demand from agriculture and domestic sectors. It is understood that the use of water

in Indian industries is high due to a combination of factors such as obsolete process

technology, poor recycling and reuse practices, and poor wastewater treatment. Use

of water in industries is closely linked to the economy of a country. The major water

guzzling industries are pulp and paper units, thermal power plants, fertilizer units,

iron and steel plants, sugar plants, and textile units.

Estimates vary with respect to the requirement of water for industries. According to

the MoWR, the requirement will increase from 30 billion cubic metre in 2000 to 120

billion cubic metre by 2025. According to the World Bank, the water demand for

industrial uses and energy production will touch 228 billion cubic meter by 2025. As

per the Tenth Plan, the stipulated norms are 40 litres per capita per day (lpcd) of

safe drinking water within a walking distance of 1.6 km and at least 1 hand pump for

every 250 persons. The norm will be relaxed to 55 lpcd in states where the 40-lpcd

norm has been achieved already. The above-mentioned norms are quite reasonable

because it is reported that in many large cities, water withdrawal amounts to 300 to

600 lpcd.

In contrast, the consumption in the developed countries of Europe and North

America had already touched 500-1000 lpcd by the turn of the last century. Water

demand projection varies from agency to agency. Consumption of water by 2020 in

different sectors as projected by Water Resources Division, Planning Commission is

given below:

Projected Water Consumption in 2020 (Billion cubic metres)

End Use Normal Pessimistic

Irrigation 640 602

Manufacturing 56 51

Domestic 57 57

Power 28 27

Total 781 737

According to a WHO-UNICEF Sponsored Study (India Assessment 2002-Water Supply

& Sanitation), the total water requirement by 2050 will be 1,422 billion cubic metre.

Tata Energy Research Institute (TERI) has estimated that the overall water demand

will virtually double from 564 billion cubic metres in 1997 to 1,048 billion cubic metre

in 2047.

MoWR has assessed the water requirement at 694 cubic km in 2010, 784 cubic km in

2025, and 973 cubic km in 2050. As against the projected demand, the availability of

water in 2050 is estimated at 996 cubic km.

At the national level, it will be a difficult to increase the availability to the projected

levels as most of the water resources are concentrated in a few river basins.

Transporting huge quantity of water from like rivers, lakes, wells, and treatment

plants to millions of homes would require a reliable pipeline system that will serve for

years without leaks and contamination. The increase in demand for water will call for

enormous efforts to capture, preserve, and distribute available water equitably.

Urbanization

It is estimated that by the end of the 12th Plan in 2017, approximately 40% of the

country’s population will live in cities and towns. This fast pace of urbanization will

increase the demand for piped water supply. Thus, the increase in population

accompanied by the fast pace of urbanization will together contribute for the growth

in demand for pipes.

Improvement in Water and Sanitation Coverage of Government to provide drinking

water & sanitation to 100% of the population:

Thrust of government to provide drinking water & sanitation to 100% of the

population Government’s focus to improve the urban infrastructure has increased

significantly during the last 10 years. The investment allocation to water supply &

sanitation during five year plan is INR 423 Bn.

• The year wise fund allocation growth rate in this five year plan is 21% which is

higher than the year wise growth rate of 15% during last five year plan

• The JNNURM scheme commenced during the five year plan is the main driver for

urban infrastructure development. JNNURM scheme is focused towards

strengthening the infrastructure in 63 cities, the other schemes UIDSSMT &

AUWSP focuses on other cities/towns

• Water PPP’s have emerged during the last 10 years & are fairly successful in

India; the central Government has planned to increase the number of PPP

projects in-order to support state water authorities in improving the system

efficiency

• The depletion of fresh water sources is driving the need of desalination projects &

these projects are expected to drive the growth of urban water infrastructure in

the coming years. The desalination projects are being planned & ongoing in

certain coastal cities

The investment allocation to water supply & sanitation during the 12th five year plan

is INR 255319 crores. Based on prior experience, it is estimated that 13% of this

expenditure to be on DI pipes.

Considering domestic demand and the requirement from the export market, Pipes

demand is expected to reach 1.99 MT by 2016–17.

Year 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17

Demand 1.47 MT 1.70 MT 1.99 MT

Production 1.37 MT 1.51 MT 1.70 MT

Gap 0.10 MT 0.19 MT 0.29 MT

With the demand growing and the supply scenario showing incremental growth, the

demand supply gap is set to increase to 0.29 MT.

The investment in water supply and sanitation sector by the Central and State

governments registered a compound annual growth rate of 18.5% from the end of

the 8th Five Year Plan to the end of the 11th Five Year Plan.

Supply constraints in the past have inhibited market expansion and the industry is

yet to pick up momentum. DI pipes being at the beginning of its product life cycle, it

is expected that the growth trajectory will be very buoyant at least in the next

decade or so after which it may mature to a stable level.

Import V/s Indigenous production

Although India started exporting steel way back in 1964, exports were not regulated

and depended largely on domestic surpluses. However, in theyears following

economic liberalization, export of steel recorded a quantum jump. Subsequently, the

rapid growth of domestic steel demand has ledto a decline in the rate of growth of

steel exports from India to ensure that domestic requirements are adequately met.

Import of iron steel is given in Table-3.

C. Waste Heat Recovery Coke plant (0.6MTPA) and Power Plant (~ 60 MW based on

waste heat of Coke plant and Blast Furnace gas)

D. Ductile Iron Pipe plant of 0.3MTPA capacity

A. 1000,000 TPA Blast Furnace:

It is proposed to install a Blast Furnace of 1000,000 TPA capacity in Manoharpur

village Jharkhand.

This furnace will be a modern Blast Furnace equipped with Hot Blast Stoves, Bell

less top, and Pulverized Coal Injection including O2 enrichment.

B. Sinter Plant:

The availability of the calibrated iron ore lumps is becoming scarce; hence it is

proposed to install sintering machines of adequate capacity along with the Blast

furnace.

The advantages with the use of Sinter is that, it improves the productivity of the

Blast Furnace, lowers the coke rate, allows usage of low iron bearing material

and low value coke breeze in the production.

C. Waste Heat Recovery Coke plant and Power Plant (based on waste heat of Coke

plant and Blast Furnace gas):

To cater to the coke requirement of Blast Furnace it is proposed to add Coke

making capacity of 600,000 TPA with Sesa’s technology of Heat Recovery, which

conforms to the most stringent environment norms worldwide.

The proposed power plant will have capacity of 60 MW and will utilize the waste

heat from Coke Ovens and the excess gas available from the proposed 1000,000

TPA Blast furnace.

D. Ductile Iron Plant

To add value to pig iron part of hot metal produced will be converted to ductile

iron pipe having capacity of 300000 TPA.

The Flow sheet showing Blast Furnace and related facilities is given in Figure-3.

Sinter Plant

Sintering is a process for agglomerating iron ore fines to convert it into lump form

suitable for use in blast furnaces. However sintering has an additional advantage,

that it can recycle all Ferrous bearing waste material generated in the plant.

The use of sinter is also beneficial as it reduces the coke rate and improves the

productivity of blast furnace. However in the current context apart from the cost

saving a sintering plant also has strategic value since it is expected that with the

current growth rate of domestic steel production the availability of lump ore is likely

to be constrained.

Thus the sintering plant would ensure a sustained availability of raw materials for

blast furnace operations.

Iron ore fines cannot be charged into the Blast furnaces since it will reduce the

permeability of the burden material and will not allow the reducing gases to pass

through the charge material inside the furnace. Blast Furnaces need lump feed

(preferably in a close size range) only so as to facilitate easy flow of gases through

the charge material inside the furnace.

So the iron ore fines need to be agglomerated either in the form of Sinter or Pellets

before charging into the Blast furnace.

The main advantages of sintering are:

Lower coke rate due to the saving in the heat requirement in the Blast Furnace since

the calcinations of the fluxes take place in the sintering process outside the Blast

Furnace and better reducibility of the charge material.

Higher productivity due to the improved burden permeability from the reduction in

the height of cohesive zone.

Ability to recycle the iron bearing waste from the plant, e.g., dust catcher fines,

“return ore fines”, and low value coke breeze etc.

Raw material required along with estimated quantity likely source,
