ABOUT THE STEEL INDUSTRY
“India was the largest producer of steel with production of 106.5 MT in 2018. The growth in the Indian
steel sector has been driven by the domestic availability of raw materials such as iron ore and cost
effective labour. The steel industry has been a major contributor to India’s manufacturing output. It
always strives for continuous upgradation and improvement of older plants and high energy efficiency
levels.”
“They are classified into three categories such as major producers, main producers and secondary
producers.

“As per above tables, we can see that Operating Leverage of firm is greater than the industry average, so
it can be inferred that the Firm (JSW) is more leveraged than the industry.”
“DOL of steel industry is 2.701% which means that the company sales by 1% , industry EBIT will increase
by 2.701%. The firm’s DOL average is 3.045 which means if the firm’s sales rise by 1% then the firm EBIT
will also rise by 3.045%”
“As Financial leverage of the firm is lesser than the industry that means the firm has lower fixed cost
investment as compared to industry”.
“DFL of industry is 2.875, so, if EBIT changes by 1% then the industry EPS will change by 2.875. The firm
DFL is 1.464 which is lower than industry average which means the firm has lowered risk involved as DFL
is lesser in comparison to industry.”
DCL – The combined leverage of industry is lower than firm, it means firm is more levered than industry.
Overall industry
Particular average JSW Average
Debt Equity Ratio 1.016866602 1.184
Industry coverage ratio 1.736124306 2.2097564
Total asset to debt 1.626038906 1.4683134
Proprietary ratio 0.347130874 0.3182178
Debt to Equity Ratio- This ratio shows that industry finances 101.6% from debt and JSW finances
118.4% from debt which means that firm is more levered than industry. It has more risk
Interest coverage ratio- The average ICR of JSW steel is 2.20 greater than the industry ICR average. It
means JSW Steel can make its interest payment by 2.20 times. It means that the company is paying its
interest timely as there is a decrease in long term borrowings of the company over the years, this means
that the company will be able to pay its interest regularly in future as well.
Total asset to debt ratio- Since the industry average ratio is 1.62 which is more than the firm’s average
of 1.46, this implies that the industry has more assets in comparison to the firm(JSW Steels).
Proprietary ratio- Industry’s proprietary ratio is more than the firm’s which means that industry more
equity than the firm to run the business.
The above table shows negative correlation between EPS and debt level which implies that further rise
in debt will lead to fall in EPS. As the firm is highly levered it means it has more risks associated with it.
