Synopsis

The Indian Pipe Industry11.tuned for the piping hot market

The 2008-09 financial crisis had a limited impact on the Indian pipe industry affecting new oil and
gas exploration and production (E&P) projects worldwide due to fall in global commodity prices
including crude oil resulting into reduced orders. With the worst of the financial crisis behind us, we
remain optimistic regarding the potential demand for the pipe sector. The E&P projects which were
earlier stalled or revoked are being given a new lease of life based on the inevitable rise in crude oil
prices. Replacement demand from developed nations remains ever so strong while domestic
demand from the oil and gas sector is robust. Also, with the pipeline network of India for oil & gas
transport being lower at 17,576 kms as on April 2009, (32% penetration level) it represents a huge
scope for growth for the pipe industry.

As most of the Indian pipe manufacturers are converters, the industry is highly Raw Material (RM)
intensive with the RM cost accounting for more than 70-80% of the total cost for steel and PVC
pipe companies. These companies rely heavily on imports and hence many steel pipe companies
have backward integration facilities to reduce dependency on imports and price volatility. Freight
cost is another key cost component due to higher imports and exports. With the expected
short-term increase in commodity prices and range-bound Baltic Dry Index (a barometer for
shipping freight rates), pipe companies will be benefited in the coming quarters as customers will try
to place advance orders at attractive rates.

Indian companies produce a wide range of steel, cement and plastic pipes which are used in
various critical and non-critical applications. Indian steel pipe manufacturing companies have won
several certifications and accreditations from major oil & gas companies across the globe in the
recent past. With the low-cost and high-quality products supplemented by various international
certifications, Indian companies have augmented their export sales over the last three to four years.

CARE Research expects the positive trend in the Indian pipe industry to continue for the next 3-5
years on the back of higher E&P activities due to resurgence in crude oil price, increased efforts by
the Government of India (GoI) on infrastructure development for laying pipelines for oil & natural
gas transport (e.g. the National Gas Grid project), replacement demand from North America and
European countries, water & sewage transport and irrigation facilities. The growth will mainly be
driven by steel pipes especially SAW pipes. The order-book position (currently equivalent to total of
FY09 sales) of many steel pipe companies is sufficient for the next 9-12 months.

Demand triggers for the growth are:

Private players like Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), Cairn India etc have shown interest in
 setting up pipe infrastructure for oil & gas distribution. National gas grid will also be set up
requiring an investment of Rs.210 bn.
City gas pipe is currently available in 10 cities and the coverage is expected to grow to 40
cities in the next five years, entailing an investment of Rs. 250-300 bn.
In addition to the above, the replacement demand from the US and European countries,
having a vast pipeline infrastructure, will be huge.
The GoI in its efforts to reduce crude imports has formulated the New Exploration Licensing
Policy (NELP) for exploration and production of oil & gas. The GoI has awarded 256 blocks
till date and the number is set to increase to 330 by 2010.
For the Eleventh Five Year Plan, the GoI is aiming to add 11 mn hectares of irrigational
facilities, entailing an investment of Rs.1,580 bn.

The GoI increased the annual budget allocation under the Rajiv Gandhi Drinking Water Mission from
Rs.65 bn to Rs.74bn in the previous Union Budget 2009-10.

For an in-depth analysis and CARE Research’s view on the future of this sector, please refer to the
