JSW Steel mulls slashing its FY12 capex

16 Dec 2011 Evaluate

JSW Steel is mulling to reduce its capital expenditure (capex) by over half for the current fiscal and go slow with its capacity expansion since the company is going through tough times with a huge debt burden of over Rs 18,400 crore in the backdrop of sluggish demand for steel.

The company had initially planned a capital expenditure of about Rs 8,000 crore for the current financial year. The company has spent about Rs 2,000 crore in the first half of the fiscal and is likely to reduce the capital expenditure by over half for 2011-12.

The company's profitability in recent quarters has been impacted by the Supreme Court ban on iron ore mining in Bellary. The ban had forced the company to procure iron ore, the key raw material for making steel, at higher costs to keep its operations running, although at a lower capacity utilization.
