INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) is used in the manufacturing of Graphite, as an Anode in Alumina Smelters, as Soderberg's Electrode for Ferroalloy Industries, as Thermal Paste for Ferro Alloys & allied industries in Submerged Arc Furnaces. It is also used for melting steel, and for making special steel and alloys.
Aluminium is the 2nd most used metal in the world after steel. Its consumption reached 65 million tonnes in 2020. India is the 4th largest producer of aluminium in the world. It produces around 5.3% of the global aluminium output. In FY 2020, the growth of primary consumption of aluminium fell by 2% from the growth of 3% in FY 2019. Excluding China, the whole world reported consumption degrowth of around 4% in FY 2020. In the Indian market, aluminium production fell by 2% in FY 2020, while domestic consumption declined by around 6 to 7%.
Primary aluminium exports from India surged almost 50% during the first quarter of FY 2021which helped domestic producers to tackle a sharp decline in domestic demand, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in Q1FY 2021. However domestic demand returned with the easing of restrictions in Q2 and exports moderated. Exports grew by just 6.8% y-o-y in Q2 as compared to 50% growth in the June 2020 quarter. Share of export in total production also reached the pre-covid level of 56% in the month of December 2020 after peaking at 78% in April 2020.
The present requirement of CPC by the aluminium smelters is approximately 1.5Million Mts, and in addition, there is a substantial requirement by the Steel, Graphite Electrodes, Titanium dioxide, Ferro alloys and other miscellaneous Industries at around 0.5Million Mts, taking the total requirement to around 2.0Million Mt., which is in part met by imports of CPC, mainly from China.
