"Despite this dismal growth, Tata Steel automotive sales could register a growth of 15 percent in FY14 over FY13, primarily by replacing imports and weaning away share from competition, supported by additional volumes from its newly-commissioned TSCR (Thin Slab Casting & Rolling) line," the company's Vice-President, Steel, Marketing & Sales, Peeyush Gupta said in the newsletter.
Gupta said going forward, in the company's opinion, "the major steel consuming commercial vehicles (CV) segment will bounce back as the new Government provides growth impetus to the economy."
The car manufacturers are also bracing themselves for a growth period by launching new variants/models and taking advantage of Government-aided schemes on excise duty cuts, he said.
"Thus, we anticipate the Automotive sector to show a growth of 3-4 percent in the coming fiscal and a further improved forecast for FY 16," Gupta added.
One distinct feature of Tata Steel's approach to serve the automotive segment has been to migrate towards high-end products (essentially imports substitution and of higher value).
In FY 14, Tata Steel touched its best ever high-end sales(comprising skin panel) of 226 kt (kilo tonnes), crossing the previous best of 192 kt achieved in FY13. In FY 15, as per the newsletter, the company intends to further strengthen its value proposition to the automotive customers with a wider product range from TSCR.
"We have also made plans to ensure a smooth transition to JCAPCPL (Jamshedpur Continuous Annealing & Processing Company Private Limited) Products of CR Annealed range which will be produced by the Continuous Annealing line in a JV with Nippon Steel Sumitomo Metals Corporation."
