CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGEMy dear colleagues,It is an honour and a great privilege for me to take chargeas Chairman, SAIL. The company's stellar progress overthe years has enabled it bag the coveted 'Maharatna'status. Undoubtedly, this has been the result of shapingthe fortunes of the company by very many visionaryleaders in the past and I feel humbled by the enormousresponsibility that has been entrusted to me now. I wouldensure that no stone is left unturned in our quest to makecertain that SAIL continues on its growth path withdetermination and vigour.

SAIL is the undisputed market leader in Indian steelindustry and as a brand SAIL is well positioned. The twinfactors of low per capita steel consumption in our countryand the surge in activity in the infrastructure, industrial,housing and automobile sectors are the drivers of demandfor steel. It's an opportunity that demands that SAILrepositions itself to maintain its leadership status. I haveno doubt in my mind that I can count on you in reshapinga SAIL that can transform itself to deliver the best valueto all stakeholders. Our business model must be bothprofitable and sustainable in the long-term.

Emerging demand scenario in the country will alsobring in suitable strategic responses from other domesticsteel producers and also strengthen the resolve of globalplayers to partake a slice of the domestic market.Competition would be intense. We need to enhance ourcapacities on one hand and also maintain competitivenesson the other. We are in the midst of a massive expansion& modernisation programme to take the company's hotmetal production capacity to over 23 MT by 2012-13.

In order to meet the expectations of our customersand stakeholders, and to face the key challenges of themarket place of tomorrow there are several priority areasthat we must focus on, for which I seek your wholeheartedsupport & co-operation. In each of these, SAIL has takensteps but we still have a lot of ground to cover.

Global player: It's time we set our sights on becominga global player. Inorganic approaches for growth can beadopted especially for input assets acquisition in the valuechain. Input security is a must in the company's quest forcontinued success.

Expansion projects: We are on the path ofstrengthening our foundations for the future. There is aneed to ensure that the investments being made andexpansions to be realised are on track. This is an area thatwill receive my particular attention and I will ensure thatsuitable monitoring mechanisms are activated to guidethe organisation's efforts in controlling cost and timelines.Our goals may be taking slightly longer than expected toachieve, but I am still confident that we have what it takesto get the job done.

Value-added products: For SAIL to emerge as a nicheproducer of quality steel of the highest standards there isa need to enhance significantly the share of value-addedsteel in the total product mix. We need to enhance theshare of our branded products in our offerings and alsomove up the value chain.

Technology: There is an urgent need to fast track our

product development and use advanced technologies forenhancing value addition, diversification andproductivity enhancement. Further, benchmarking ontechno-commercial parameters with global leaders isnecessary to develop an agenda for action. Increasingsafety performance and implementation of advancedlogistics in our operations is the other thrust area.

Cost competitiveness: The cost advantage that SAILenjoys in comparison with its competitors in terms ofcaptive iron ore must be leveraged. At the same time, thereis a need to identify factors responsible for high cost ofproduction. To enhance our competitive edge, we needto enhance productivity substantially from the currentlevels. One specific area of focus will have to be onimproving people productivity.

New markets: Traditional market segments likeconstruction, railways, power would need to be servicedbetter and at the same time there is a need to refocus onopportunities in segments like white goods, defence,automobile, and space. A proactive approach is neededto capture emerging opportunities by developing amarketing mindset.

People initiatives: At the end of the day, SAIL is reallyabout its people—committed, talented, passionateemployees who want to create, do something meaningfuland lasting, realize their full potential, make a positiveimpact in their area of work. I appreciate yourcommitment to the Company's success. Given theimpending superannuation profile, there is an immediateneed to identify skill gaps and put in place plans to bridgethem. I am committed to adopting progressive HR policies& systems and will put best possible efforts in bringingabout necessary changes.

All these would require reinforcement of our existingstrengths and in some cases recasting our beliefs. Thecapabilities and facilities that have been built over thedecades provide us a strong platform for scaling upoperations and facing the competitive world withconfidence. At the same time we must also be acutelyconscious of our responsibilities to the society we serve.We can only succeed when we can contribute to thesuccess of our customers, stakeholders and the societywe serve.

Each one of you has contributed in your ownremarkable way to build this great company. I have beenhanded the baton of an organization whose character isfounded in its incredible base of employees and arespectable list of customers. SAIL is growing, profitable,and poised for success. Our best years are still far aheadof us. I look forward to your unwavering and steadfastsupport as we work together to make SAIL a global giantin the years ahead.

I wish each member of my SAIL team and their familymembers all the very best.

With warm regards

June 11, 2010 C. S. VERMANew Delhi Chairman

Government of India,SAIL took on record itsaudited financialperformance for January-March (Q4) of FY ’10 on 28May 2010, showing profitafter tax (PAT) of Rs 2,085crore, with a year-on-yearimprovement of 40%. Thecompany achieved netsales turnover of Rs 11,955crore during the quarter, asagainst Rs 11,790 crore inthe corresponding periodlast year (CPLY). SAIL’sQ4 profit before tax (PBT)at Rs 3,067 crore reflected34% y-o-y growth.

The company’simproved profitability inQ4 was mainly due tom a r k e t - o r i e n t e dproduct-mix, 37%increase inproduction of value-added steels andseveral costefficiency measures.Improved salesrealisation duringthe quarter andreduction in cost ofsome inputs likeimported coking coaland ferro-alloys alsoboosted thebottomline.

has been higher by 9.5% atRs 6,754 crore. In spite ofsales growth of 7% duringFY ’10 in volume terms at12.11 million tonnes, ofwhich one-thirdconstituted value-addeditems, net turnover at Rs40,551 crore was lower byabout 6% as compared tothe previous year,primarily on account oflower net sales realisations,especially in the first half.

Under SAIL’s modernisation & expansion plan,capital expenditure at Rs 2,894 crore in Q4 was 45%higher than Rs 2,002 crore in CPLY. During FY ’10,the company’s capex touched Rs 10,606 crore – morethan twice the previous year (Rs 5,233 crore).Modernisation & expansion projects at Salem SteelPlant which involve installation of new steel makingfacilities and a new cold rolling mill are ready to becommissioned shortly. Several stand-alone projectshave been commissioned during the year, namelynew slab caster with RH degasser and ladle furnaceand rebuilt Coke Oven Battery (COB) # 5 at Bhilai,augmented coking coal storage facilities at Bokaro,rebuilt COB # 4 and new coke oven gas holder atRourkela, as well as a new bloom caster at VISL.

To meet capex requirements for maintaining theschedule for modernisation & expansion, SAILincreased its market borrowings by over Rs 8,900crore during FY ’10. On 31.3.10, the company’s totalborrowings stood at Rs 16,511 crore, taking its debt-equity ratio to 0.49:1. However, the company’s cashreserves in term deposits stood at over Rs 22,000crore as on 31.3.10.

During the year, several cost efficiency andadministrative measures resulted in savings of overRs 2,000 crore during the year. Improvement inmajor techno-economic parameters – best-ever cokerate, lowest-ever energy consumption and 4%improvement in blast furnace (BF) productivity –contributed substantially to cost savings.

SAIL’s thrust towards optimisation of humanresource resulted in overall reduction in employeestrength by about 6,000, primarily on account ofnatural separation, even after fresh intake of about

1,800. As a result, labour productivity in SAIL plantsin FY ’10 went up to 226 tonnes per manyear, thehighest since inception.

FY ’10 was a milestone year for SAIL in terms ofobtaining raw material security. After more thantwo decades of intense efforts, the company securedmining lease of Rowghat mines in Chhattisgarh inOctober ’09. Rowghat, with estimated reserves of500 MT of iron ore, will meet Bhilai Steel Plant’sneeds for the next 30 years. The process for settingup a 14 MT per annum (pa) state-of-the-art miningfacility at Rowghat has been initiated by thecompany. SAIL also obtained in-principle clearancein October ’09 from the Jharkhand government forrenewal of the Budhaburu lease in Chiria/Gua,which has a reserve of about 810 MT of iron ore.The detailed project report for setting up a 7 MTpamining facility here is also underway.

A number of new strategic initiatives andalliances also made FY ’10 significant for SAIL.Erstwhile Bharat Refractories Limited was mergedwith SAIL in July ’09 and renamed as SAILRefractory Unit. SAIL also acquired the assets ofMalvika Steel Ltd at Jagdishpur in Uttar Pradesh.In the initial stage, a 1.75-lakh tonne capacity TMTbar production facility, crash barriers andcorrugation plant is to be put up. A JV agreementwas also signed with Shipping Corporation of Indiato set up a shipping company to initially handle apart of SAIL’s coal import needs. SAIL is alsoexploring setting up JVs with other steel majors.

SAIL’s established fundamental strengthsreceived wide recognition in the form of awards andaccolades during the year, including four SCOPE/DPE awards presented by the Prime Minister in

Recent times have been full ofunprecedented changes and

uncertainties impactingeconomies across the world andalmost all segments of businessand industry. With supportprovided by variousgovernments, signs ofstabilisation and growth haveappeared, especially in emergingeconomies like India. Recently,there has been significant pick-up in automotive, appliances,capital goods and constructionsectors in India which has helpedthe domestic steel industry.

During the global downturn,SAIL remained focused on itsfundamentals, and withresilience and commitment,steadily pushed towards the goalof maximising yield from itsphysical and human capital. Itwas a result of concerted andcollective action that during thecalendar year 2009, SAILemerged with 2nd highest netprofit amongst all steelcompanies of the world, thoughbeing 18th in volume terms. InJanuary ’10, SAIL’s overallranking was 2 in the ‘World-Class Steelmaker Rankings’ byWorld Steel Dynamics, a steel-consulting and research firmbased in the US.

SAIL has developed steel plates formanufacturing carriages of 155 mm Bofors guns.

These plates, christened SAIL-RATH, were earlierbeing imported. Possessing high strength along withvery high charpy energy for low temperature(–500ºC) applications, the product was developed bythe joint efforts of RDCIS, Alloy Steels Plant (ASP),Salem Steel Plant (SSP) and Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP).

RDCIS designed the steel chemistry and processparameters to achieve the required properties in thefinished plates. Steel was made at ASP through the

SAIL world’s 2nd best steel maker: WSDWorld Steel Dynamics (WSD), a leading

global steel information service provider,has ranked SAIL as the second best steel makerin the global steel industry, next only to POSCO/Korea. The WSD ranking is based on a score of23 parameters that include size, expansion plan,adaptation of new technology and products,pricing power, raw material security, labour andenergy costs, profitability and strategic factors,proactive management, and integration from rawmaterials to downstream businesses.

SAIL, which improved by 10 ranks in lessthan a year, scored high on its strong balancesheet position, raw materials security in termsof availability of iron ore mines, location in high

growth markets, expansion plan and cost cuttingefforts. SAIL’s performance on several of theseparameters is better than Arcelor Mittal (ranked12th in the list) and POSCO.

WSD has projected that the steel producerspresent on its list are positioned to be winningperformers in future. The relative positioning ofglobal steel giants on the list can help companieschart out their business strategy on differentparameters. “The acknowledgement of SAILbeing a world-class company is a big achievementconsidering it did not even figure in the WSDlist a few years ago,” commented then SAILChairman Mr S.K. Roongta in a media interviewfollowing the publication of the list.

SAIL develops plates for Bofors gun carriageEAF/ VAD route and cast into slabs. Hydrogen waskept below 2 ppm to avoid any delayed cracking atlow temperature applications.

Since the plates are required in variousthicknesses ranging from 4 to 54 mm, one slab eachin 4, 5, 8 and 10 mm thickness was rolled at SSP.Other thicknesses were rolled in RSP’s PlateMill. Heat treatment cycle was optimised in RSP’sSpecial Plate Plant to achieve desired properties inthe finished plates. All plates were despatched toGun Carriage Factory at Jabalpur/Madhya Pradesh.

AIL signed anagreement for formation of a

50:50 joint venture company(JVC) with India’s largestshipping company, ShippingCorporation of India Ltd (SCI) on29 March ’10. The agreement wassigned by SAIL Dir (Fin.) MrSoiles Bhattacharya and SCI Dir(Tech. & Offshore Serv.) Mr U.C.Grover in the presence of thenSAIL Chairman Mr S.K. Roongtaand SCI Chairman Mr S. Hajara.

As per the agreement, the JVCwill primarily take care of SAIL’sshipping needs by owning andoperating ships. The JVC, whichwill be registered at Kolkata andinitially cater to around 1 MT ofSAIL’s imported cargo annually,will be expanded subsequently.

SAIL currently importsaround 10 MT of coking coal, amajor input for steel making, perannum. The company’srequirement of imported cokingcoal would increase considerablyin coming years in view of theongoing expansion plan of SAILthat will nearly double SAIL’shot metal production capacityfrom the current level of around14 MT. The shipping JVC wouldenable SAIL to have control overpart of its coking coal supply

Adedicated team of RawMaterials Division

employees has designed schemesfor installation of a mobiletertiary crusher for the first timein the RMD mines.

Gua Ore Mine, one of theoldest mines of SAIL, presentlysupplies iron ore lumps in therange of 10-65 mm to IISCO SteelPlant. However, the new BFcoming up at ISP envisagesutilisation of lumps in the rangeof 8-30mm in order to increasehot metal production by about3% while bringing the coke ratedown by about 1.5%.

Aiming at generating thedesired size range of iron ore,GOM decided to go for tertiary(third stage) crushing inoperation. Earlier, the mined orewas crushed only in two stages –primary and secondary.

Installation of the tertiarycrushing system, asrecommended by SAIL/CET,was to cost around Rs 34 crore.To save cost, RMD assigned thejob to its Central MaintenanceCell at Bolani after considering

RMD CMC designs mobiletertiary crusher, saves cost

some other options. CMC drewup a suitable scheme to ensuresupply of iron ore lump in thesize range and implemented theproject at a cost of around Rs 4crore. The mobile crusher schemewas implemented by GOM andinstalled in April ’10.

A mobile crusher is fortertiary crushing of oversizedmaterial which is conveyed to thereclamation stockpile. Thecrushed material is then fed backto the main hopper of thesecondary screen house throughthe reclamation hopper. Oversizein the output of the tertiarycrusher is recycled through thesystem. Double-deck screensseparate the material into fines (–8mm), sized (8-30 mm) andoversized (+30mm) lumps.

The conveyors for the schemewere fabricated inhouse by theGOM team using materialsalready available with RMD. Themobile crusher is workingsmoothly and the same hasresulted in reduction inoversized and production ofclose-sized lumps.

***A cross-functional team developedand commissioned a stone catcher inits BSP’s Coal Preparation Plant-IIand solved a problem which has beenplaguing the unit since inception.Now, stones of 50-300 mm dia whichcannot be manually removed, can beseparated from the incoming coalload. In absence of this system, thecoal conveyors and related equipmentwere fraught with regular jammingof transfer chutes, tearing of belt,damage to rollers, guide plates,tippers, etc. Such clogging oftenresulted in huge deployment ofmanpower and heavy demurrage dueto increased wagon detention.

***Tackling the twin objective ofsafety and efficiency, QCMaestro of DSP modified thecrane control circuit of a 7.5tcrane at SP-1. The modificationcomprised installing variablevoltage frequency controller unitin long and cross travelmechanism, enabling control ofthe crane’s speed andmovement. Prior tomodification, the crane, whichwas designed for palletreplacement and maintenance ofsinter pallet car, causedproblems at the time ofequipment shifting, affectingproduction and threateningsafety.

***The CPP collective of RSP hasinvented a new method to reducedust emission from electrostaticprecipitators. The emissions,caused by high percentage of ashin coal, are now beingconditioned by chargingammonia in the fuel gas,resulting in remarkably loweremissions. In a similarachievement, a cross-sectionalgroup of the Coal Handling Plantbrought down dust pollutionfrom 90 to 10 mg/m3 by designinga water spraying scheme at thecoal extraction point. This hasalso ensured cleaner and saferworking conditions for theemployees.

***The BF collective of BSP have set upa pulverised coal transportationsystem from CDPP- 1 & 5 to the CDIunit of BFs 6 & 7. Designed andexecuted using inhouse expertise, a500m seamless pipeline delivers 20-25t of fine coal for injection in theBFs. This has added flexibility infurnace operation and made more coalavailable for injection. The increasedCDI rate is expected to reduce the costof hot metal production in the plant.

***DSP’s Central MaintenanceGroup (BOF-Electrical) hasreplaced the push buttonpendant of cooling stackinspection device in BOF with awireless radio remote controlunit. Previously the unit wasprone to breakdowns due tosnapping of the trailing cableand inefficiency of the cablereeling drum. The remote controlsystem has not only increasedreliability on performance andsafety, but also ensured savingson cost of trailing cable, cabledrums, and drum motors. Fromdesigning to commissioning theproject was accomplishedentirely with inhouse resources.

Even the media commented on theunprecedented security detailing – nothing couldbe taken into the stadium except mobile phones; novehicles could enter or park; food could only bepurchased from designated kiosks within thestadium premises; the list went on...

event. Players and media from12 countries had arrived, massivearrangements had been put it placefor managing the crowd, stringentguidelines for security were laiddown by the law enforcement andsports authorities, and sportsenthusiasts from all over the worldhad their eyes glued on this event.The FIH World Cup in effect washeralding the return of internationalsporting events in India.

Working under this intense limelight was atough challenge for the organisers and sponsorsalike. The scale, importance, and political value ofthe World Cup added to the fever. In that sense, itwas an opportunity of limitless learning for SAILemployees involved in the event. Numerousmeetings were held between FIH and SAIL in themonths before the games were scheduled to begin.Plans and activities were worked out to the minutestdetails, and roles neatly defined. Little did we knowthat at the 11th hour, all our plans would nearly fallflat before the strictures imposed by the Delhi Police!(In times of terror, nothing, absolutely nothing,would escape the hawk-eyed attention of the force.)Every activity in the list – be it branding issues, SAIL


publicity banners for the premises and buses of theschools. Copies of an interesting graphic novel calledLoharayan, published by Bhilai Steel Plant incommemoration of its golden jubilee of production,was also distributed to the libraries of participatingschools.

Seeing the sincerity of this preparation, schoolschose some of their best talented students as SAILmascots. Seated in the Media enclosure by specialpermission of the police, these children gave theirfull-throated support to all teams. Their excitementon seeing the players, slapping hands with them,getting their autographs, walking on the field underthe stadium floodlights, and being telecast all overthe world... was audibly thrilling.

For the final day, 13 March ’10, children of theSAIL family were invited to participate as SAILmascots. Trussed up smartly in the SAIL sports gear,the exuberant youth of SAIL family not just escortedthe players on the ground, but also got a chance tomeet Mr Gurbaj Singh, one of the brightest stars ofthe Indian national team and four-time winner ofthe SAIL Man of Steel award.

The final match of the FIH World Cup wasplayed between Germany and Australia. Every nookand cranny in the stadium was filled up with abuoyant crowd. From the Media enclosure to theVIP section, the entire stadium was jam-packed tosee one of the most interesting matches in the historyof hockey. In the last two World Cups before this,

conditions were introduced on a daily basis, andthe venue became a hotbed of confusion. Everyapproval had to be chased with ACP-level officersand terms negotiated and re-negotiated with FIH.

Employees of SAIL who were involved in theevent spent sleepless nights in the stadium evenbefore the games started. Toiling under pressure-cooker conditions, they managed to get themaximum possible brand mileage for SAIL. In fact,audible whispers were heard from the audience, that“SAIL is everywhere!” For SAIL, it meant anexposure to an international audience, global mediapractices, and all genres of sports enthusiasts. It wasan experience of a lifetime.

The spic-and-span makeover of Dhyan ChandNational Stadium, with its invitingly green astro-turf floor and a glass-enclosed sprawling VIPenclosure, made a jaw-dropping visual feast foronlookers. SAIL’s logo and name was splashedeverywhere – from perimeter boards to the centrebackdrop, replay board to the player dugouts,around the two goals, and volunteer jackets toumpires’ uniforms. What caught and held thepublic’s interest were the T-shirts and caps sportingthe SAIL logo being distributed free of cost amongthe hockey lovers. Crowds thronged the stall allottedas trade space to SAIL for these giveaways and tosee the Salem Stainless products on display.

SAIL’s latest and awe-inspiring TV commercialon hockey commanded riveting attention from thecrowds when played on the replay screen duringhalf-time and match gaps. Featuring SAIL OlympianMr Michael Kindo and the India hockey captain MrRajpal Singh, the ad with its pulsating musicalbackground, stirred the love for hockey within andoutside SAIL. As the Presenting Partner of FIHWorld Cup 2010, SAIL became the talk of stadium.

Another interesting feature in the whole eventwas the School Mascot Programme of SAIL. Underthis, schoolchildren aged between 12 and 14 actedas escorts to the international teams before thebeginning of every match. For this programme, SAILcontacted some of the best schools in Delhi, whichresponded more zealously than expected. In fact,as the word spread, more schools expressed interestin participation of their students than SAIL couldaccommodate. Some schools went to the extent ofpostponing their annual exams so as to be able toparticipate in the extravaganza.

Once the schools were finalised, a uniform kitcomprising SAIL branded T-shirts, shorts, caps andsocks was sent to each school. Students from adifferent school came wearing this uniform on eachday of the tournament. Additionally, SAIL provided Continued on page 36

Cup 2010, presented by SAIL and hosted by India,had turned out to be a huge success.

One important highlight of the tournament wasSAIL Man of Steel awards – presented by SAIL tothe best defender in every match. A total of 39 suchawards were conferred by senior officials of SAILto awardees, including the SAIL Man of Steel awardfor the entire tournament. The awards consisted ofa trophy and cheque with amounts varying fromRs 25,000 to Rs 75,000. The cheque with the SAILMan of Steel trophy for the tournament was for awhopping Rs 125,000! These awards and every otherhockey-related promotional activity carried out bySAIL speaks volumes about SAIL’s commitment tothe promotion of sports among Indian youth on awide scale.

All in all, FIH World Cup 2010 was a tournamentwidely enjoyed by Delhi and extensively coveredby the national and international media. It revivedthe love for hockey among all age groups. Being atest match for the Commonwealth Games (CWG),volunteers and representatives from CWG andHockey India gained immensely from this practicalexperience.

As for the organisers and audience of thesegames, they are left with some of the most indeliblememories. Such as, during the India-Pakistan matchheld on the first day of the tournament, supportersfrom Pakistan had covered themselves with a hugePakistani flag. Next to it, on a green backgroundwere written these words in white: HAPPY HOLITO ALL INDIANS! These heart-warming wordscame just a day before Delhi was preparing tocelebrate the festival of colours. This gestureencapsulated the very essence of what can be calledas the ‘sportsman spirit’. The penalty shots of thematches were also among the most memorablemoments. The indefatigable formation of playersshielding the goal, and the nervous tension amongthose ready to strike a goal, roused the athlete in

everyone. And when a player darted to hit a goal,the swelling applause of the crowds added to averitable visual feast.

No sports event is complete without expertcomments and feedback. The SAIL World Cup HockeySpecial was one such show aired by DD Sports onall the 14 days of the World Cup. The show broughttogether SAIL’s inhouse hockey experts – OlympianMr Michael Kindo and just-retired Manager MrAmarjeet Singh. Complete with news, views,analysis and predictions, the show was watched byconnoisseurs of the game.

From the point of view of publicity andadvertising , SAIL had zeroed in on FIH World Cup2010 from all possible sides. In a truly 360° strategy,SAIL maximised its resources by way of outdoorpublicity via hoardings and posters, Internetcontent, contest giveaways, TV commercial, printads, school branding, in-stadia branding andawards. Anyone associated with the sport even inthe remotest way was sure to know about SAIL andthe extent of its support to the games.

In the build-up of pre-World Cup fever, sportsjournalists from leading national publications wentvisiting to the SAIL Hockey Academy (SHA) atRourkela. Mr Amit Das, a sports journalist with PTIwho was among the team, filed a story on theacademy. Highlighting SAIL’s continued supportto the game, he quoted the words of Sanjeev Barla,a 19-year-old tribal from Sundargarh who is now acadet at the academy: “I watched children play withbamboo sticks and wanted to play too… but onlywhen I got selected to the SHA that my dreams tookwing.”

For many others like Sanjeev who are gettingtrained in the various sports academies of SAIL,their dreams are finally coming true with SAIL. Thewords – dare to dream, dare to try, no goal toodistant, no star too high – fit well with the fightingspirit and sporting attitude of SAIL.

The SAIL logo was prominently visible onfield, even on umpires’ and players’ clothing

The SAIL collective fullyrealises that environmentis a shared treasure, and

environment protection a sharedresponsibility. The EnvironmentPolicy of SAIL, adopted in 1996,governs the environmentmanagement of all operations atall its facilities. It ensuresenvironmental sustainability atits plants and mines by settingchallenging targets, committingto judicious use of resources andmaking its processes cleaner andenergy-efficient. SAIL’senvironment managementsystem (EMS) ensuresimplementation of theEnvironmental Policy in letterand spirit.

The EMS is based on initialenvironmental review studiesconducted at plant/unitlocations. The identification ofenvironmental aspects andimpacts of different products,processes and services is carriedout through environmentalaudits and impact assessmenttechniques. Environment-friendly processes, such asbeneficiation and reclamation ofraw materials, enhancement ofenvironmental performance,pollution control technologies,resource conservation andenvironmentally preferredpurchases, are ensured at everyplant and unit of SAIL.

Environment management isalso an integral part of themodernisation & expansionprojects being undertaken at dif-ferent SAIL locations. An invest-ment of over Rs 3,000 crore hasbeen planned for installation ofpollution control facilities such astop pressure recovery turbinesystem, coal pulverisation & in-jection system, hot metal de-sulphurisation system, dry fog

Green is the colour of thefuture

dust suppression system, de-dusting system, bag filter system,dust extraction system, reverseosmosis process for treatment ofeffluents and recycling, sewagetreatment plants, total acid recov-ery system, effluent treatmentplants with de-fluoridation fumeexhaust system, cast house de-fuming system, stock house dustsuppression system, back draft-ing system with chimney, etc.

SAIL has developed 13 CleanDevelopment Mechanism(CDM) projects. The totalpotential of these projects is toreduce 9.2 million tonnes ofcarbon dioxide emission over aperiod of 10 years. 71 other CDMprojects are in the pipeline – thelargest number for any IndianPSU.

As part of environmentmanagement, relentless effortshave been made in afforestation;over 175 lakh trees have beenplanted since inception. During2009-10, 2 lakh saplings wereplanted, depending on local soilcharacteristics and prevailingmeteorological conditions.

Life-cycle assessment studiesfor products and productiontechnology processes are beingundertaken in five differentareas: raw materials usage,improvements in iron & steelprocesses, clean technologydevelopment, integrated energymanagement, and integratedwaste management. Promotionof renewable and alternate

sources of energy such as solarand wind energy and coal bedmethane energy is also beingtapped for cleaner and energyefficient technologies.

The major units of SAIL arecertified to ISO:14001 standards.These include Bhilai and SalemSteel Plants, including theirtownships. DSP and BSL are alsocertified. RSP’s Silicon Steel Mill,SP-2, HSM, Plate Mill,Environment Engineering Dept,ERW and SW Pipe Plants, SpecialPlate Plant and Rourkelatownship are ISO:14001 certified.OHSAS:18001 and SA:8000 havealso been implemented in BSP,BSL, DSP and SSP.

In plants, thrust has been laidon controlling stack and fugitiveemissions, improving wastemanagement and housekeepingand conserving lubricants andother resources. In thetownships, conserving water andelectricity, improving municipalwaste management, enhancingpeople’s awareness ofenvironmental issues andreducing noise and dustexposure get maximumattention.

The performance of SAIL ingreening its plants andperipheries has not goneunacknowledged. SAIL won theprestigious ‘Climate ActionCertificate’ conferred by theWorld Steel Association,recognising SAIL’s untiringefforts in saving the environmentand natural resources. Besides,SAIL has won the CII-ITCSustainability Award, GreentechEnvironmental ExcellenceAward, Golden Peacock Award,Energy Conservation Award, 46prizes for improvement of minesenvironment by Indian Bureau ofMines, etc.
