CHAPTER –1
INTRODUCTION

Introduction:
Planning is the basic managerial function. It helps in determining the course of
action to be followed for achieving organizational goals. It is a decision in
advance, what to do, how to do and who will do a particular task? Plans are
framed to achieve better results. Control is the process of checking whether the
plans are being adhered to or not, keeping a record of progress, comparing it with
the plans, and then taking corrective measures for future if there is any deviation.
 Every business enterprise needs the use to control techniques for surveying in the
highly competitive and changing economic world. There are various control
devices in use. Budgets are the most important tool of profit planning and control.
They also act as an instrument of co-ordination.
Budget is defined as “ a plan quantified in monetary terms prepared and
approved prior to a defined period of time showing planned income to be
generated and / or expenditure to be incurred during that period and the capital to
be employed to attain a given objective” (CIMA technology). An analysis of the
definition will bring out the following features of a budget:
It is a plan expressed in monetary terms. But it also contains physical units.
It is prepared prior to the period during which it will operate.
It is approved by the management for implementation.
It is related to a definite future period.
It indicates planned income and expenditure including capital expenditure during the
period.
It is prepared for the purpose of implementing the policy formulated by the
management, and the objective to be achieved during the period.

A budget may be expressed in relation to time, viz. short-term and long-term

budget in relation to functions, viz. production budget, sales budget, cash budget,
capital budget etc., and in relation to behavior. Viz. fixed
 BUDGETARY CONTROL

Introduction:-
Budget is formal plan of future course of action. When the budget is use to
evaluate the actual performance it is known as budgetary control.

“Budgetary control is the planning in advance of various functions of

business so that the business as whole can be controlled.”

Objectives of budgetary of control:

To control departmental activities.

To help in systematic planning of protection and formulation of policies.
To control direct and indirect expenses by limiting the chances of wastages.
To control income and expenditure of production functions.
To compare the pre-determined targets with the amount of actual expenses.

Limitations of budgetary control:

 The budgetary control systems are however not free from short coming which
are as follows;
This system proves useless in that firm where policies, processes, techniques,
etc., are frequently changing since it does not take into account such changes.
It is very costly in case of small firm and ser

osing “Budget and budgetary control” as a study is that Budgetary control is

the process of determining various budgeted figures for the enterprise for
the future period and then comparing the budgeted figures with the actual
performance by calculating variances, and to ensure planning for future by
setting up various budgets. The requirements and expected performance of
the enterprise are anticipated to co-ordinate the activities at different
departments and Fixation of responsibilities on various individuals in the
organization.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY :

Scope of the current study is restricted to selected

budgets that are generally prepared by the organization in the matters of
internal control of the organization affairs. Again in the scope of the study
there is no comparison of the organization budgets with any other
competing company.

Organization like Visakhapatnam Steel Plant. Due to their

nature of activities and places of business requires definite coordination
among all functional activities. Such coordination is automatically achieved
when budgets used as the mean. But today the emphasis being given to the
budgets is not at its best in many organisations. Hence it is necessary to
verify whether there is any correlation among these functional departments
or not.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:

The study is based upon the part of financial performance that has been taken in to
consideration i.e., budgetary concepts.

 To understand the importance of preparing Budget.

 To apply various theoretical aspects of budget and budgetary control.
 To know the steps taken by RINL (Visakhapatnam Steel Plant) in preparation
of budgets.
 To compare and contrast the variances between budgeted figures and actual.
 To observe cash deficiencies arising during the period of study if any.
 To give suggestions, if any for better role of budgets in performance
management.

METHODOLOGY:
The information for the study has been obtained from two sources namely.

1. Primary Data
2. Secondary Data

Primary data: The data for study has been collected from the management of the
company. The information about the industry profile and company profile was
gathered from HRD, VSP and the data about the budget and budgetary control was
gathered from Financial Department, VSP.

Secondary data: This is taken from the annual reports, websites, company journals,
magazines and other sources of information of steel plant.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:

1. The period of study that is 6 weeks was not enough to go into the detailed
aspects of the study.
2. The study is carried basing on the information and documents provided by the
organization and based on the interaction with the various employees of the
respective departments.
3. Most of the matters related to budgets were confidential. So it is not possible
to gather much information.
4. Budget that were prepared are only based upon trend at the time of
preparation.
5. Flexibility within the budget is not possible.

CHAPTER - 2

PROFILE
 OF
STEEL INDUSTRY

INDUSTRY PROFILE:

Steel is an alloy of iron usually containing less than 1% carbon is a versatile

material with multitude of useful properties used most frequently in the automotive
and construction industries. Steel can be cast into bars, strips, sheets, nails, spikes,
wire, rods or pipes as needed by the intended user. The consumption of steel is
regarded as the index of industrialization and the economic maturity any country has
attained.

Though the production of steel in significant quantity started only after 1900,
the growth of steel industry can be conveniently studied by dividing the time in to pre
and post independence period.

The major steel and related companies in India are:

1. Bharat Refectories Limited.

2. Hindustan Steel Works Construction Limited.
 3. Jindal Steel and Power Limited
4. Kudremukh Iron Ore Company Limited
5. Manganese Ore (India) limited.
6. Metal Scrap Trade Corporation Limited.
7. Metallurgical and Engineering Consultants India Limited.
8. National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC)
9. Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited.
10. Sponge Iron India Limited.
11. Steel Authority India Limited (SAIL).
12. Tata Iron And steel Company.

Pre-independence:

1830 Joshua Marshall Halting Came can be considered as a pioneer of

modern steel industry in India constructed the first
manufacturing plant at port move in Madras presidency. But it
was a financial failure.
1874 James Erskine founded the Bengal iron works. It passed on to
M/S HOGNE Killer and to M/S Martin and co in 1885
1899 Jamshedji TATA initiated the scheme for integrated steel plant
(first in the country)
1906 Sakchi in Bihar was chosen as the site for the TATA iron and
steel co (TISCO)

1911 TISCO started production, initially 1000 tons of ingots / year

and in 2 years it reached 5000 tons / year by 1939 it reached
production of 15000 tons ingot steel per year.
 1918 Initially Indian iron and steel co (IISCO) was founded and the
Bengal iron and steel co merged with it in 1926. To start with,
IISCO restricted it self for manufacturing of pig iron for export
to UK and JAP AN. It produced steel.

1940-50 Formation of the Mysore iron and steel Ltd. Presently known as
Visveswarayya Iron and Steel Ltd. (VISL) at Bhadravathi in
Karnataka owing to the pioneering efforts of Sri.
Visveswarayya. It started manufacturing Ferro alloys and Sp.
Steels.

Post-independence:
First five-year plan (1951 to 1956):
No new steel plant came up, as the first plan was mainly agriculture oriented.
However, IISCO was allowed to expand form IMT/year to 2 MT/year of ingots, and
from 0.5 MT/year to 1.0 MT/year of steel. And, the first five-year plan contemplated a
new steel plant to be erected in public sector.

Thus the Hindustan Steel Limited (HSL) was born on 19th Jan 1954 with the
decision of setting up three steel plants each with one million tons ingot steel per year
at Rourkela, Bhilai and Durgapur. Though TISCO and IISCO were scheduled to
expand, TISCO started its expansion program.

Second five-year plan (1956 to 1961):

During this period, additional steel producing capacity was added and a
decision was taken to increase the ingot steel output in India to 6 million tons per
year. The three one million ton steel plant one each at Rourkela, Bhilai and Durgapur
were completed during this period. They started production during the end of this
plan. The salient features are given below:

Plant capacity Location Collaboration Production

(tons)
RSP Sundargarh, Orissa Germany 720,000
BSP Durg, M.P. U.S.S.R 770,000
DSP Burdwan, W.B. UK 800,000

In addition to the above BSP and DSP each were having the capacity to
produce 300,000 tons of pig iron for sale.

Third five-year plan (1961 to 1966):

During this period, the three steel plants under HSL, TISCO, and IISCO were
expanded as shown below. However, these could be completed only by 1968 - 1969.

STEEL PLANT ORIGINAL MT/YR EXPANDED TO

MT/YR
ROURKELA 1.0 1.8
BHILAI 1.1 2.5
DURGAPUR 1.0 1.6
TISCO 1.0 2.0
IISCO 0.5 1.0

Recession Period (1966 - 1969):

The ambling expansion program taken up during the third five-year plan could
not be completed during that period. All the expansion programs were actively
executed during this period.

Fourth five-year plan (1969 - 1974):

 Balancing facilities were incorporated in all the steel plants. Salem steel plant
work was taken up during this period. Licenses were given for setting up of many
mini steel plants and rolling mills. Government accepted the idea of setting up two
more steel plants in the south one at Visakhapatnam and other at Hospet in Karnataka.
Both of them were envisaged to produce plain low carbon steel products initially with
a capacity of 2 MT/year of ingots. Steel authority of India ltd., was also formed during
this period on 24th Jan 1973. Central Research and Development Organization was
set up in June 1973 to tackle the research and development problems of Iron and Steel
industry.

Fifth five-year plan (1974 to 1979):

Work on Salem project progressed well. Bokaro with 1.7 MT capacities
started in Feb 1978. The expansions of Bhilai steel plant form 2.5 MT to 4 MT and
Bokaro from 1.7 MT to 4.0 MT picked up momentum. The idea of setting up the 5th
integrated steel plant at Visakhapatnam took a definite shape. By the end of fifth five-
year plan the total installed capacity from six integrated plants was 10.6 MT/year
Annual plans 1979 to 1980: various plans named above were reviewed and the
progress on different plants consolidated. Soviet - Union has agreed to help in setting
up the Visakhapatnam steel plant.

Sixth five-year plan (1980 - 1985):

Work in expansion of Bhilai and Bokaro plant was progressed. Boar’s
intermediate stage of 2.5 MT completed. Many of the units were commissioned e.g. a)
Salem steel plant was commissioned b) on 31.9.81 work on Visakhapatnam steel plant
started with a bang; and c) top priority was accorded to modernize the plant at TISCO.
Schemes for modernization of BSP, RSP, DSP, and IISCO were initiated at the end
of sixth five-year plan. The capacity from six integrated steel plants stood at 11.56
MT.

Seventh five-year plan (1985 to 1991):

Almost all the units in the expansion work of Bhilai and Boar to 4 MT
completed. Progress of Visakhapatnam steel plant picked up and the rationalized
 concept has been introduced to commission the plant with 3 MT liquid steel capacities
by 1990.

Eighth five-year plan (1991 to 1996):

All units of Visakhapatnam steel plant were commissioned by July 1992.
Government of India has given permission to set up mini steel plants in private
sectors.

Ninth five-year plan (1997 to 2002):

National development council under central Government has deposited Rs.
859.200 corers in ninth five year plan that targets an overall 6.5% growth gross
domestic production and will necessitate a 7% growth in the remaining years of plan.

Tenth five-year plan (2002 to 2007):

Steel industry registers a growth of 9.9%. VSP has high regime targets.

Global Scenario:

As per IISI
 In March 2005 World Crude Steel output was 92.8MT when compared to
March 2004 (87.2 MT), the change in percentage was 6.5%.
 China remained the world's largest Crude Steel producer in 2005 also
(27.5MT) followed by Japan (9.6MT) and USA (8.1MT). India occupied the
8th position (8.8MT)
  USA remained the largest importer of semi-finished and finished steel
products in 2002 followed by China and Germany.
 Japan remained the largest exporter of semi-finished and finished steel
products in 2002 followed by Russia and Ukraine.
 Other significant recent developments in the global steel scenario have been
under the auspices of the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation &
Development) the negotiations among the major steel producing countries for
a Steel Subsidy Agreement (SSA) held in 2003 with the objective to agree on
a complete negotiating text for the SSA by the middle of 2004. It also set
subsidies for the Steel Industry of a ceiling of 0.5% of the value of production
to be used exclusively for Research & Development.
 The global economy witnessed a gradual recovery from late 2003 onwards.
China has become one of the major factors currently driving the world
economy.
 As a result of these economic developments IISI has projected an increase by
6.2% or 53 million metric tones in 2004 in the global consumption of finished
steel products. IISI has split the growth into two separate areas, China and the
Rest of the World (ROW). Steel consumption in China has been estimated to
increase by 13.1% or 31 mt in 2004.
 USA has repealed the safeguard measures on import of steel as a result of a
ruling, by a WTO Dispute Resolution Panel, which held these measures to be
illegal under the WTO regime.

Present Scenario of Indian Steel Industry:

India is uniquely placed to become a very large producer and consumer of
finished steel products in the world. Substantial reserves of high grade iron ore, low
wage rates; technical and managerial skills of a high order have all enabled India to
gain this stature, by becoming 8th largest producer of steel in the world.
Unfortunately for the Indian steel industry, the price and distribution controls to
which it was subjected till about economic liberalization process began in the early
1990's did not permit the large integrated steel plants to modernize their steel
manufacturing facilities or to upgrade their technologies to the state of art levels from
time to time.
 With the economic liberalization that was initiated in 1992, Indian steel
Industry has to accept the inevitable i.e. to appreciate the implications of low import
duty rated, face foreign competition and some how improve its strengths and
competitive edge to produce good quality products at lower prices and learn to
survive in the market place. Following liberalization, the steel Industry is well set on
the path of globalization. The dynamics of the world steel industry has a close relation
with Indian steel Industry. Presently in India, Steel products are being produced from
four different sources viz.

 Integrated Steel Plants

 Mini Steel Plants
 Re-rolling Mills
 Alloy & Special Steel Plants.

Integrated Steel Plants have larger capacity and produce Steel from basic raw
materials and the other three categories mentioned are characterized by low
investment and low break-even point. .

Characteristics of Integrated Steel Plants.

 They have large capacities.
 Highly capital intensive.
 They have long gestation period.
 Labor intensive.
 They would have all facilities including raw materials resources, water supply,
power supply, testing and inspection facilities, township facilities, medical,
educational and recreational etc.
 Inter dependency of all the processing units on the proceeding and succeeding
units in the path of material flow.
 A potential source for earning foreign exchange through exports.
 They serve as centers for the development of ancillary industries.
 They are major consumer of refractory materials.
The integrated Steel Plants in India are:
 Rourkela Steel Plant
 Bhilai Steel Plant
 Bokaro Steel Plant
 Durgapur Steel Plant
 Indian Iron and Steel Company (IISCO)
 Tata Iron and Steel Company (TISCO)
 Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP)

INDUSTRY SCENARIO
The Indian econom y grew at 9.4% in 2006-07 on the back of a
high growth base of 9% in 2005 -06 and achieved the fastest growth rate
in 18 years, next only to the 10.5% clocked in 1988 -89. Aided by the
high growth along with a strengthening rupee in the forex market, the
econom y has graduated to a trillion dollar one, the 12 t h such nation
globall y to reach this milestone.

India’s rapid economic growth is being built on a frame of steel.

Soaring demands by sectors like infrastructure, real estate and
automobiles, at home and abroad, has put India’s steel industry on the
world map. Mergers and acquisition like TATA -CORUS and Arcelor -
Mittal led by the Indian Steel companies or Indians have been
dominating the Global Steel happenings. In India, finished steel
production at 49 million tons, s howed a remarkable growth of 10.8% in
2006-07.
 The International Iron and Steel Institute (IIS I) ranked India as
the seventh largest steel producer in the world with an overall
production of about 40 million tons in 2006. During 2006, the global
steel production stood at 1240 million tons, showing a robust growth of
8.8% over 2005. Steel use during the year grew by 8.5% to reach 1113
million tons.

As per IIS I forecast, there will be a growth of 5.9% in the global

steel use in 2007 taking the total to 1,1 79 million tons followed by
6.1% in 2008 to reach 1250 million tons. The global steel demand
projections indicate that India will be one of the engines of the world
steel industry in the future. The National Steel Policy, published by the
Ministry of Steel in 2005, envisages production of 110 million tons In
India by 2020.

INTRODUCTION

Steel is such a versatile commodity that every object we seen in our day to day life
have used steels either directly or indirectly in its products. To mention a few it is
used for such a small items as nails, pins, needles etc. Steel comprises one of the
most important inputs in all sectors of economy. Steel industry is both a basic and
a core industry. The economy of any nation depends on a strong base of iron and
steel industry in that nation. Today Steel occupies the foremost place amongst the
materials in use today and pervades all walks of life. All the key discoveries the
human genius – for instance, steam engine, railway, means of communication and
connection, automobile, aero plane and computers are in one way or other,
fastened together with steel and with its sagacious and multifarious application.
Steel is versatile material with multitude of useful properties making it
indispensable for furthering and achieving the continual growth of the economy –
Be it construction, manufacturing, infrastructure or consumables. The level of
steel consumption has been regarded as an index industrialization and economic
maturity attained by a country. Keeping in view the importance of steel, the
following integrated steel plants with foreign collaborations were set up in the
public sector in the post – independence era:

ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF THE ORGANIZATION

To meet the growing domestic needs of steel, the decision of the

Government of India to set up an Integrated Steel Plant at Visakhapatnam under
Steel Authority of India Ltd. (SAIL) was announced by the Prime Minister Smt.
Indira Gandhi in parliament on 17th April 1970. The Selection Committee choose
the site near Balacheruvu creek at Visakhapatnam. The Prime Minister of India
did the formal inauguration and laid the foundation stone on 20th January 1971.
The consultant, M/s M.N. Dastur and Company Ltd., submitted a techno-
economic feasibility report for the plant, with an annual capacity of about 3.4
million tones of liquid Steel, in October 1977.
The erstwhile USSR Government examined the detailed project report
prepared by Dastur & Company and offered Technical and Economic co-
operation for the same. The Govt.of India and erstwhile USSR signed an
agreement on June 12th 1979, for co-operation in setting up a 3.4 million tones
integrated steel plant at Visakhapatnam. The USSR agreed to provide financial
assistance of 3.4 million Rouble credit to GOI specifically for setting up the steel
plant. In terms of this agreement, Soviets and Indian design organization revised
the earlier detailed project report of Dastur Co., jointly and a comprehensive
revised detailed project report for VSP was submitted in November 1980. A new
company i.e. Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd. (RINL) was incorporated for faster
implementation of the project.
The construction of the project commenced in 1982 with a schedule of 4 and 6
years for the first and second stage respectively. During construction due to
inadequate fund availability, the project schedule could not be adhered to,
resulting in huge cost and time overruns. The project cost escalated to around
Rs.8500 cars. In a bid to reduce the capital investment, Rationalized concept was
adopted in 1985. As per this one Steel Melt Shop and one Rolling Mill i.e. the
universal beam mill were dropped. The other steel melt shop of 2.2 MTPA of
liquid steel was up rated to 3 MTPA without any additional facilities. Further the
capacities of Rolling Mills i.e. Light and Medium Merchant Mill (LMMM),
Medium merchant and structural mill (MMSM) and Wire Rod Mill (WRM) were
also up rated without any modification to make the project economically viable.
The project cost with all these modifications was brought down to about
Rs.6281 crores. However during implementation further cost escalations took
place and finally the project was implemented at a capital cost of around Rs.8500
crores. Various operating units were commissioned one after another from 1989
onwards and entire project was completed by July 1992. Then the Honorable
Prime Minister Sri. P.V. Narasimha Rao dedicated the plant to the Nation on 1st
August 1992. Unlike other integrated steel plants in the country, new technology,
large-scale computerization and automation etc. were incorporated in the plant.
To operate the plant at international levels and attain such labor productivity, the
total manning of the organization was frozen to 17,500 employees. The plant has
a capacity of producing 3.0 MT of liquid Steel and 2.656 MT saleable steel.

Process:
Following are the details of processes of main production units of VSP.
1. Coke ovens & Coal chemicals plant:
Coking coal after selective crushing and proper blending is subjected to
destructive distillation (heating in the absence of air) in the Coke Ovens. After
heating for nearly a period of 16-18 hours at a temperature of about 1100 Degree
Delicious, coke is obtained and is used as a fuel as well as reducing agent in the
Blast Furnace. The Coke Ovens of VSP are engineering feats by themselves.
They are the tallest ovens of 7 meter tall constructed in the country. The Plant has
3 batteries of 67 ovens each. Another feature is the dry cooling of coke carried
out by the inert gas nitrogen thus, reducing pollution considerably. In the process
considerable quantity of gas is generated which carries large number of coal
chemicals and heat value. A by-product plant is provided for each battery to
extract the coal chemicals and make the resulting gas useful for heating various
furnaces. By-products like benzene, toluene, xylem, naphthalene, coal tar,
creosote oil, pitch, and ammonium gas.

2. Sinter Plant

Iron ore fines, coke breeze, limestone and dolomite along with recycled
metallurgical wastes are converted into agglomerated mass at the Sinter Plant,
which forms 80 % of iron bearing charge in the Blast Furnace. The Sinter Plant
comprises of two sinter machines each having 312 square meters of grate area
with a total production capacity of 5.256 million tones per annum.

3. Blast Furnace
VSP has two Blast Furnaces with an effective volume of 3200cu.m. Each,
Which are the largest in the country? Blast Furnace is charged with coke, iron
ore, sinter and fluxes such as lime stone from the top. Hot air at very high pressure
is blown from the bottom. The iron ore and sinter charged from the top gets
 reduced to hot metal by the time it reaches the hearth. Metal is tapped from the
hearth of the furnace at regular intervals. Its novel circular cast house with four
tap holes ensures continuous tapping of hot metal. Each furnace produces about
5000 tones of molten iron per day. The annual Production capacity of these Blast
Furnaces is 3.4 million tones of liquid iron. The furnace is operating at about
125% of their capacity at present.
In addition to hot metal the gang material present in the iron ore and sinter
also comes out in the form of molten slag while tapping. This molten slag is
converted to granulated slag in the slag processing plant. Granulated BF slag is
used for cement making and various other construction purposes. The hot metal
produced is carried to steel melt shop for further processing. The surplus hot metal
is taken to Pig Casting machines and cast into pig iron. The pig iron is sold to
foundries and exported to various other countries. Some pig iron is consumed in
steel melt shop also as coolant.

4. Steel Melt Shop & Continuous Casting:

Three Top blown converters, each of 133 cum. Volume, produce a total of
2.7 million tones of liquid steel per annum. The hot metal from blast furnace is
charged into the converters from the top. Along with hot metal steel scrap
(coolant), lime (flux) and other additives for making special steel if required are
also added. Oxygen is blown from the top for about 50min by which time the hot
metal gets converted to steel. The liquid steel thus produced is casted in six-4
strand bloom casters. A special feature in energy conservation is the collection of
Converter gas to be used as a fuel in the plant. The entire molten steel cast at the
radial type continuous casting machines result in significant energy conservation
and better quality steel. 100% Continuous casting on such a large scale has been
conceived for the first time in India.
5. Rolling Mills:
The cast blooms from continuous casting department are heated and rolled
in the three high speed and fully automated rolling mills namely Light & Medium
Merchant Mill, Wire Rod Mill and Medium Merchant & Structural Mill, to
produce various long products like Reinforcement bars, rounds, squares, flats,
angles, channels, billets, wire rods etc. Rolling Mills adopt steamer cooling
process to get high quality products. VSP Enjoys very high reputation for the
quality of their products both in the domestic and export markets.

6. Thermal power plant and blower house:

VSP has a separate thermal power plant to meet substantial part of its
power requirement. The power plant also includes blower house for blowing hot
air to the blast furnaces. The power plant utilizes surplus coke oven and blast
furnace gasses for heating boilers. To meet the balance requirement of the boilers
thermal coal is procured. Thus the power plant helps in reducing cost of
production of VSP.

Recent Trends:

VSP becomes Nava Ratna Company:

Considering the Turn Around and the excellent physical and financial
performance in the last 4 years VSP has been awarded NAVA RATNA STATUS
by the GOI in the year 2010 . This confers more DOP and AUTONOMY to VSP
Management in financial and policy matters. The BOD also will be strengthened
with more independent non-executive DIRECTORS.

VSP Expanding Its Capacity:

 VSP has undertaken expansion of capacity from 3-million tone liquid steel
to 6.3 million tone liquid steel at a cost of Rs.8692cr. Their entire expansion work
is to be completed within a period of 4 years from October 2006. The honorable
Prime Minister Of India has inaugurated the expansion project by laying
foundation stone on 20th May 2006. VSP will be producing special grade long
products required for automobile, railways and other special applications in the
new mills which are going to be installed. Further VSP will be producing
Seamless tubes of 3 lakh tones which are presently imported.

Joint Ventures:

VSP does not own any mines for extracting much required iron ore and
low ash metallurgical coal for its production. VSP depends on M/S.NATIONAL
MINERAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION for meeting its iron ore
requirements and import sources (Australia) for low ash metallurgical coal. These
sources have been increasing their prices disproportionately in recent times due to
very high demand because of capacity additions taking place in large scale. In
order to have raw material security and control over prices VSP has embarked
upon acquiring interest in coal mines and iron ore mines through joint ventures in
India and abroad.

VSP has Been Allotted Mining Rights In Mahal Coal Block:

GOI has allotted mining rites in Mahal Coal Block for VSP after
continuous persuasion relentless efforts. VSP has started exploratory work in
Mahal coal block to ascertain the feasibility and project cost for opening up a
mining unit in this place.

Implementation of Addition Modification and Replacement:

In order to improve productivity, constantly upgrade the technology and

reduce the cost of production to become one of the worlds lowest cost producers
 VSP is implementing number of AMR schemes on a continuous basis since last 5
years. VSP is spending substantial amount of funds in the AMR schemes which
are yielding incremental benefits year after year.
Utilization of Renewable energy:

In order to meet its ever growing power requirement, to conserve the

natural resources and reduce the cost of energy VSP has taken up implementation
of power generation through renewable energy sources like wind, sunlight etc. A
policy in this regard has been unveiled on 29th May 2006 by the CMD of VSP.

Conservation of Water:

VSP has taken up a number of projects for conservation of precious water.

This is carried out in three methods.

 Reduce the consumption of water in the process.

 Treat the drainage and sewerage water and reuse where ever possible.
 To construct check dams for diverting rainwater to underground.

 BUDGET

Introduction:

Planning is the basic managerial function. It helps in determining the course of

action to be followed for achieving organizational goals. It is a decision in
advance, what to do, how to do and who will do a particular task? Plans are
framed to achieve better results. Control is the process of checking whether the
plans are being adhered to or not, keeping a record of progress, comparing it with
the plans, and then taking corrective measures for future if there is any deviation.
Every business enterprise needs the use to control techniques for surveying in the
highly competitive and changing economic world. There are various control
devices in use. Budgets are the most important tool of profit planning and control.
They also act as an instrument of co-ordination.

Budget is defined as “ a plan quantified in monetary terms prepared and

approved prior to a defined period of time showing planned income to be
generated and / or expenditure to be incurred during that period and the capital to
be employed to attain a given objective” (CIMA technology). An analysis of the

 BUDGETARY CONTROL

Introduction:-
Budget is formal plan of future course of action. When the budget is use to
evaluate the actual performance it is known as budgetary control.

“Budgetary control is the planning in advance of various functions of

business so that the business as whole can be controlled.”

Objectives of budgetary of control:

 To control departmental activities.

 To help in systematic planning of protection and formulation of policies.
 To control direct and indirect expenses by limiting the chances of
wastages.
 To control income and expenditure of production functions.
 To compare the pre-determined targets with the amount of actual
expenses.

Limitations of budgetary control:

 The budgetary control systems are however not free from short coming which
are as follows;
 This system proves useless in that firm where policies, processes, techniques,
etc., are frequently changing since it does not take into account such changes.
 It is very costly in case of small firm and serves no purpose in the event of
abnormal situations, such as strikes, lockouts etc.
 There are many factors over which the management has no control but the
budgetary control depends on them. In that case, if its is prepared, it may be
inaccurate and fails to serve the purpose for which it is meant.
Characteristics of good budgeting:

 A good Budgeting system should involve persons at different levels while

preparing the budgets. The subordinates should not feel any imposition of
them.
 There should be a proper fixation of authority and responsibility. The
delegation of authority should be done in a proper way.
 The targets of the budgets should be realistic; if the targets are difficult to be
achieved then they will not ensure the persons concerned.
 A good system of accounting is also essential to move the budgetary
successful.
 The budgeting system should have a whole-hearted support of the top
management.

Requisites for successful budgetary control system:

1)Clarifying Objectives:
The budgets are used to realize objectives of the business. The objectives must
be clearly spelt out so that budgets are properly prepared. In the absence of
clear goals, the budgets will also be unrealistic.

2) Proper Delegation of Authority and Responsibility:

Budget preparation and control is done at every level of management. Even

though budgets are finalized at top level but involvement of persons from lower,
levels of management are essential for their success. This necessities proper
delegation of authority and responsibility.

3 )Proper Communication System :

An effective system of communication is required for a successful budgetary

control. The flow of information regarding budgets should be quick so that these
are implemented. The upward communication will help in knowing the
difficulties in implementation of budgets.
 4. Budget Education :
The employees should be properly educated about the benefits at budgetary
system. They should be educated about their role in the success of this system.
The employees may not take budgetary control only as a control device but it
should be used as a tool to improve their efficiency.

5. Participation of all Employees :-

Budgeting is done by every segment of the business. It will also require the
active participation and involvement of all employees. In practice the budgets
are to be executed at lower levels of Management. Those for whom the budgets
are framed should be actively associated with their preparation and execution.
The employees, on the basis of their past experience, may give more practical
and useful suggestions.

6. Flexibility :-
Flexbility in budgets is required to make them suitable under changed
circumstances – Budgets are prepared for the future, which is always
uncertain. Even though budgets are prepared by considering the future
possibilities but still some occurrences late on may necessitate more
appropriate and realistic.

Key factors

The factor that sets a limit to the total activity is known as key factor
which influence budgets. It is also called limiting factor or governing factor
principal budget factor. For example, there may be a high demand for a particular
product but due to non-availability of the supply of raw materials, production may
have to be destructed and this factor is known as key factor.
The following are examples of key factor.

1. MATERIALS : I Availability of supply

ii) Restriction imposed by licenses,
quotas etc.,
2. LABOUR : I) General storage
ii) Shortage of skilled labor
3. SALES : Consumer demand
I) Inadequate advertising and
I) warehousing facilities
Dearth of experience or
successful salesman;
iii)
4. PLANT : I) Limited capacity due to lack of
capital;
ii) Limited capacity due to lack of space
iii) In sufficient capacity due to shortage
of supply;
iv) Bottleneck incretion key processes;
5. MANAGEMENT : I) Shortage of efficient executiveness;
ii) Insufficient capital

The key factor does not create any permanent problem in the business
operations since it is possible to solve any problem with proper management
action in figure.
 Organization for budgetary control
For effective budgetary control a sound and efficient organization is essential.
The following requirements are to be fulfilled for establishing a sound system.
1. Budget cost center:

A budget cost center is a section of the organization for which separate

budgets can be prepared and control exercised. They can be same as cost centers
with accountability resting with a responsible person who heads that cost center.

2. Organization chart:
There should be well-defined organization chart, showing the lines of
authority and responsibility of each executive, and his position in relation to
others – both upwards. The design of organization chart will vary depending on
the nature and size of individual business and the extent of control desired.

3. Budget committee:
The responsibility for the preparation of budgets generally rests with
the budget committee, which includes the following executives:
- Chief executive, who will be the chairman of the committee
- Production manager
- Sales manager
- Materials manager
- Standards & quality control manager
- Finance manager
- Other departmental heads
Difference between budget and budgetary control:

 The budget is an act of planning whereas budgetary control is an act of

controlling.
 The budget concerns itself with the future. Budgetary control, is however,
concerned with the present activities although it is prepared on the basis of
data collected from the past budget. But the activities that the budgetary
control involves are not limited to that budget only. It is also related to the
questions as to how far the budget can effectively
 Utilized in future
 The budget fixes the target and budgetary control helps to arrive at that target.
 The actual performance is measured not by the budget by budgetary control.
 But this is not performed by budgets of course they are extremely useful at the
time of preparing a revised budget.

NET PROFIT
Reasons for Differences in the Budgeted Figures and Actual Figures –
Firstly, for comparing the budgeted and actual figures Income and Expenditure
statement was taken. The Income and Expenditure statements were taken from the period
of 2004-05 to 2009-2010.
Analysis of income and Expenditure statements from 2004-05 to
2009-2010 .
Analysis of Income and Expenditure statement 2004-05 W.R.T to budgeted
statement is as follows –
There are some reasons favorable i.e. which showed a positive sign when
compared the actual figures with the budgeted figures like increase in gross and net sales,
reduction of repairs and maintenance and increase in gross margin etc.
There are some reasons which are adverse and had a negative impact in the
Income and Expenditure statement 2004-05 when compared the actual with the budgeted
ones like increase in employee remuneration which showed a major variance and
decrease of export benefits, increase of miscellaneous expenses have shown major
differences in the statement.
Analysis of Income and Expenditure statement 2005-06 W.R.T to budgeted
statement is as follows –
Income and Expenditure statement of 2005-06 reveals more adverse reasons when
compared to favorable reasons i.e. due to decrease in net sales and gross sales and reduce
in stock accretion & discretion showed a negative impact when compared the budgeted
ones with the actual. The positive sign is increase in cash profit, Gross margin and
interest than the budgeted figures.
Analysis of Income and Expenditure statement 2006-07 W.R.T to budgeted
statement is as follows –
2006-07 reveals more favorable conditions than adverse conditions because
increase in Gross and net sales, reduction of price in the consumption of raw material,
increase in gross margin have shown a positive impact in decreasing the cost and
increasing the profit when compared with the budgeted figures. Some adverse situations
also arise like increase in employee remuneration, increase in total expenditure have
shown major differences negatively when compared with the budgeted statements.

89
Analysis of Income and Expenditure statement 2007-08 W.R.T to budgeted
statement is as follows –
2007-08 reveals more adverse conditions than the favourable conditions when
compared the actual with the budgeted figures, the export benefits have been decreased
than the budgeted reports so the income of the company have been decreased and the
expected miscellaneous income has also decreased as compared to estimated. Like the
previous year the employee remuneration is also increased the unexpected expenses of
the company are increased. The cost of the raw material has been increased to that extent
the expenses of the company are also increased.

Analysis of Income and Expenditure statement 2008-09 W.R.T to budgeted

statement is as follows –
2008-09 statement reveals that when compared the actual and budgeted figures
there are equal and favorable and adverse conditions like decrease in gross sales, net sales
and export benefits etc. And increase in miscellaneous income and total income etc. the
employee remuneration has increased to the extent than the expected so the expenses of
the company are increased.

Analysis of Income and Expenditure statement 2009-2010 W.R.T to budgeted

statement is as follows -
2009-2010 statement reveals that when compared the actual and budgeted figures
there we find both favourable and adverse conditions like decrease in gross sales,net sales
and total income.We can see increase in miscellaneous income ,gross margin,interest
received,cash profit and in net profit.Employee remuneration has increased to the extent
than the expected figure ,so the expenditure of the company has been increased .

SUMMARY & SUGGESTIONS

91
SUMMARY:

Introduction part of the report portrays to importance

of steel Industry, Iron & Steel Industry scenario. Giving brief
account on, world
and Indian Steel scenario, this explains about the demand &
Production capacities of steel. It also explains about the Birth,
Growth and development of steel in India.
The report gives brief introduction of budget and
budgetary control and the few definitions about budget and
budgetary control, the study explain the need, essentials,
advantages and types of budget and budgetary control. It also
explains about the type of budgeting method is followed by
Viskhapatnam steel plant.

92
SUGGESTIONS:
If we can observe the overall management performance of the
Visakhapatnam steel plant, we find some favorable & adverse impacts on the
organizations profitability. Therefore I would like to recommend some suggestions,
which may useful to maximize the profits.

 If we look at the Stores, R&M, Power & Other expenses it was increased.
Continuously.
 While look at the financial results about employee remuneration expenditure was
observed that the total employee remuneration expenditure was increased.
Continuously from 2000-2001. Therefore the HRD department should concentrate
on this issue although the employee satisfaction is important but employee
performance must be increased to increase the production and reduce the cost of
production.
 In the recent years the demand for the steel is rapidly increasing. Even if the market
survey has been done properly, it is only valid for some period and it is hard to
estimate for whole year. Assuming the market changes budgets should therefore be
revised each and every time there is a change.

 Port is situated at 18 kms from the plant and transportation cost, which is paid, is as
some as 50 kms distance. Talks should be initiated to downstream the costs.

 The power export variance also informed that the actual were less than the budgets
from last two years therefore the top management should take care about the
misuses of power and should motivate the employees at all levels for proper use of
power.

93
FINDINGS:

1)The estimated gross profit for the year 09-10 is

2)The budget and expenditure for the year 09-10 is 1275 & 877
3)Profit before the tax for the year estimated is 721.91

94
Conclusion:

The Visakhapatnam Steel Plant has been dedicated to nation

in 1992 and it is one of the major steel plants in the Asia and having

much more capital investment. We know that the Visakhapatnam Steel

Plant as a large organization might have long gestation period and while

establishing the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant so much of lands were

taken from the local people and provided the jobs to them in VSP

thought they may not skillful. But the top management of VSP conducts

so many training and development programs to improve their

performance, not only this but also frequent technological changes due

to the above factors in the initial stage. The VSP incurred some losses

but with the remedial measures taken by the top management the past

scenario was changed and the organization was stepped towards the

profits and recorded 797 crores as a profit for the year 09-10. However

the top management must take care to improve the profitability and

must try to reduce / remove the accumulated losses, which is important

for the wealth of the organization.
