Executive Summary
The Tinplate Company of India Limited is a premiere tinplate manufacturer of India. It boasts of a major 47% share in the domestic tinplate market.
The end users of tinplates are primarily the can fabricators and fillers of process food and non food materials (and some brand owners having downstream can making business) such as paint, pesticides, aerosols. Tinplate also finds its uses in the battery jacket making segment. The other major product of TCIL is Tin Free Steel which is used to manufacture crowns and screw caps for beverage and ketchup bottles of various types.
The focus of this project is: Domestic Paints Sector
Along with the macro study of the domestic paints sector and how its growth has been affected by some key economic factors over the last few years, this project has been designed to do a micro analysis of the current demand scenario in each of the segments and the amount of tinplate consumed for packaging different finished goods and SKUs from this industry and its usage trend over the years.
This is an exploratory research work, for which secondary data has been used, mainly sourced from CMIE (Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy) Prowess Database. Exclusive industrial data has been provided by the Company in the form of Indian Paint Association Report by Nielsen and market survey report by feedbackconsultancy.com. To append the given data, extensive online research has been carried out.
Based on the aforesaid data, value-wise and volume-wise market size of paints- both decorative and industrial paints has been calculated for the period 2012-2013 & 2013-2014 taking 2011-2012 as the base year and Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of each segment as constant.
Finally, tinplate packaging trend in each paint category has been observed since 2011 till 2014 and the total quantity of tinplate consumed in the sector has been ascertained.

3.a. Company Profile:
TCIL is today the largest indigenous producer of tin coated and tin free steel sheets in India, enjoying ~ 50% market share and undoubtedly the industry leader for more than 90 years. The company exports about 20-25% of its production directly to end-users (can- makers) and its products are well accepted in the markets of SE Asia, Middle East and some developed countries in Europe.
Headquartered in Kolkata, the Company’s Works is located at Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. There are presently 11 offices in India and a distribution network with 16 stocking points.
TCIL Works, situated at Golmuri, Jamshedpur has presently two Electrolytic Tinning Lines (ETLs) and Cold Rolling Mills (CRMs).
The Company is in the business of manufacturing and supplying reliable, cost-effective, value-added tin mill products. It manufactures various grades of electrolytic tinplates, tin-free steel sheets and Full Hard Cold Rolled Sheets (FHCR) used for metal packaging.
In pursuit of its downstream agenda, the company has been bonding with food processors and fillers by way of world class printing and lacquering facilities at the "Solution Centre".
The company’s business can be classified into the following
Conversion Arrangement with Tata Steel Ltd. – majority of the revenues of the company are derived through conversion of hot rolled coils, which are sourced from Tata steel Ltd. to tinplate and market such products. The company receives conversion charges as per the arrangement.
Exports and own sales – under this account the company procures hot rolled coils and tin mill black plate oils (raw materials) from other sources for manufacturing tinplate products and is sold in the exports and domestic markets as per the demand.

Company History:
The company was incorporated in 1920 and the site chosen was Golmuri, Jamshedpur. The first steel plate of Tinplate gauge was rolled on 18th Dec 1922 at the Hot Dip Plant (HDP) producing Hot Dip Tinplate, from tin bars supplied by Tata Steel and this continued till 1979 albeit with capacity enhancements. For 50 years, TCIL thus almost single-handedly built up the Indian Tinplate Industry.
To keep pace with technological developments, TCIL was the first to set up a combination line capable of producing both Electrolytic Tinplate (ETP) and Tin Free Steel (TFS). This plant, the first of its kind in India, was commissioned in 1978 and commenced production in January 1979. In 1982, Tata Steel bought the shareholding of Burmah Oil, the then major shareholder and took over the management of the company.
In 1991-92, TCIL undertook backward integration to setup a Cold Rolling Mill (CRM) for production of TMBP Coils, based on Hot Rolled Coil supplies from Tata Steel, which was also setting up its Hot Strip Mill (HSM) at the same time. The CRM was thus a strategic fit for TCIL with Tata Steel. The Cold Rolling Mill (CRM) was commissioned in 1996-97 but with heavy time and cost over-runs, the company started incurring severe losses. A turnaround strategy was developed focusing on:
•
Operational Improvements
•
Financial Restructuring
•
Hot Dip Plant(HDP) phase out and downsizing

Mission, Vision, Goal
During the year under review there were no fatal incidents. The Lost Time Injury Rate reduced to 1.49 as against 2.42 in 2011-2012.
The company having its manufacturing facility located at Jamshedpur in the state of Jharkhand today has a capacity of 0.38 million tonnes, about half of which is catered through imports. TCIL started tinplate manufacturing in India in 1922. Today the company commands a significant market share in India.
Overall operations increased by around 20% over the previous year which enabled the company to cross the milestone of 0.3 tons for a financial year. Production increased from approximately 256000 tons in FY 2011-2012 to approximately 310000 tons in FY 2012-2013.
During the year FY 2013 a new domestic competitor has entered the market and some more are expected.
During the FY 2012-2013 the company achieved more than 20% increase in production over the previous year. This was achieved at the two tinning lines also at the two Cold Rolling Mills.

Acid baths are checked for free acid levels
Rinse water is checked for chlorides
Pickled coils are checked for substrate related defects such as rolled in scale, sliver and process related pickling quality and surface finish.
6 Hi Cold Rolling Mill
Tinplate, as a packaging material, continues to be most preferred, both in packaging food products like processed food, vanaspati, ghee, etc., and also where criticality of application is important, as in the case of battery jackets and pesticide cans, to name a few select areas.
Quality checks
Shape of CR strip
Gauge tolerance or conformity
Surface finish
Surface defects. Full hard CR material from here is routed to Coil Preparation Line for trimming or directly packed and sent to the customer
Full hard material
Full hard steel is made without the usual subsequent annealing step. The resulting product has a particularly high stability. Due to the elimination of the grain recrystallization process associated with annealing, the material retains high internal stresses.
Electrolytic Cleaning
During the process of cold rolling cooling oil is used to keep the temperature of the roll and the strip within limits. This cooling oil mixed with water in an emulsion has to be removed for further processing. This is achieved in the Electrolytic Cleaning Line.

17. Page 16
Quality checks
Plate out on strip to check for the cleaning efficiency.
Annealing
Annealing is done to relieve the stresses that are built into it during the process of cold rolling which makes the steel strip hard and brittle. Annealing is done using the batch annealing process.
Quality checks
In the base the temperature and cycle of heating, soaking and cooling.
Annealed hardness of the coil at the Temper Mill entry.
Temper Mill
The mill is a four high two-stand tandem mill with a facility to give a further reduction of up to 30%. After the process of annealing the strip becomes soft. To put it to further use the surface has to be given the proper finish and hardness.
Quality checks
Shape of coil with regard to bowness in the strip.
Thickness.
Surface finish and defects.
Temper (hardness) for SR/Proof stress for DR
Coil Preparation Line (CPL)
Full hard and / or tempered coil before being tin plated has to be trimmed to the required width as per the customer's order. For this purpose the coil is passed thro' the CPL with edge trimming facility. The coil is "paid off" and passed thro' the trimmer to cut off both sides to the ordered width of the end product and then rewound.
Quality checks
Shape of coil - edge waviness and bow.

Electrolytic Tinplating Line
The unique properties of tin provide a coating on the steel that protects the contents, while providing the steel with an attractive appearance, corrosion resistance and ease in bonding, welding and painting. Tin is applied to both sides of the black plate coil through an electrolytic process. The thickness of the tin coating (called coating weight) is dependent upon the end-use application.

Selection of Project and Relevance of the Study
From the performance and basic analysis it can be clearly stated that in modern market scenario tinplate, though being a better material for packaging is facing significant competition and is being threatened by substitute packaging material at all segment. In that context in this project paint market where tinplate is widely used as packaging material is taken under consideration to analyze.
The Indian packaging industry is poised for growth. The rapidly growing GDP in India and the changed lifestyle in urban India are going to bring a boom in the packaging industry as a whole. Piggybacking the gross prosperity of the packaging industry, tinplate too is making it big as an environment-friendly, versatile packaging material, though amidst numerous challenges and adversities.
Domestic tinplate industry is faced by challenges mainly from two fronts. The first threat is from the manufacturers of tinplate from all around the world. Easy access to technology makes it an industry where the threat for entry is very easy and therefore competition. Moreover, the lowering of tariffs on imports has opened up the competition in the Indian tinplate industry to the world steel majors, such as Nippon Steel Japan, US Steel, etc., who have the economies of scale. This has posed a real challenge to the Indian tinplate manufacturers who are small-scale producers when compared with the steel giants. The second threat for the tinplate manufacturers is packaging from an alternative packaging medium such as tetra packs, polyethylene, etc.
Tinplate or Electrolytic Tinplate (ETP) as a packaging material finds its use in many end-user segments of which paints and coatings enjoy the second largest market share just after edible oil. The Beverage segment is mostly catered to by the Tin Free Sheets (TFS) category. However, if we look at the past few years’ usage pattern of tinplate for packaging paint industry SKUs, a clearly declining trend can be observed. Baring three categories, namely solvent based enamels (contained high percentage of Volatile Organic Compounds or VOCs), primers and wood coatings in the decorative paints segment, tinplate has ceased to dominate as the preferred packaging material for majority of brand owners. It is being continuously being substituted by materials such as HDPE (High Density Polyethylene).
For an organization like TCIL, which derives its revenues from the growth of its end industry segments, this continuous contraction of market can prove to be quite alarming. From this point of view, an analysis of the current demand scenario of paints industry in terms of value and volume and how much tin is consumed for packaging in this sector is quite relevant.
25. Page 24
This study can be used as a basic template to:
Project future demand of tinplate in paints industry
Analyse demand : supply scenario in India taking into consideration various industry-relevant parameters
Evaluate wherein TCIL stands today in terms of volume production for this particular end-user segment
Determine its further scope of growth in terms of product rationalization, further value addition, and revenue generation
27. Page 26
5.a. Research methodology Overview
The goal of the project was to find out the Tinplate demand in India in the paint industry. And in addition to validate the same with the actual industry data. To do the same the packaging scenario in the paint industry for three years was taken under consideration and projection of future trend.
Tin can (pcs) required for each SKU is calculated for FY 2012 to FY 2014 based on the data provided as of FY 2011 from the survey of feedback consulting. Trend analysis is done assuming the CAGR of the segment is same throughout multiple years. The volume of TIN (in MT) is calculated for each SKU and each segment. The sum up value of the different segment should match as possible with the actual industry data which is available directly.
The volume of the decorative paints is obtained from the IPA Nielsen Market Survey Report for FY 2007-2008 & FY 2011-2012. Assuming CAGR and the market share of each type of decorative paint constant, the Volume (in MT) is calculated for FY2012-2013 and FY2013-2014. The volume in MT is converted to volume in litre. The amount of TIN required to pack unit volume of paint is assumed constant as in feedbackconsulting report. From there the total TIN consumption for paint industry is calculated.
5.b. Type of Research:
This is an exploratory research project which aims at finding the growth inducing parameters of Indian paints industry, the approximate market size of decorative paints and industrial paints (value-wise and volume-wise) in 2012-2013 and 2013-2014, and tinplate consumption in the sector for the same period.
The study can be broadly divided into two parts:
I. Analysis of the Domestic Paints Market
II. Consumption Trend of Tinplate in Paints Packaging from 2010-2011 till 2013-2014

The Paint Industry
6.a. Paint Market Overview:
India’s strong economic growth has propelled the paint industry to double-digit growth over the past few years and has made it Asia Pacific’s fastest growing paint market. Despite fast growth, India’s per capita paint consumption is still abysmally low at ~2kg/year. Due to increased Government funding for infrastructure, demand for paints both in industrial and decorative segment is set to rise, thereby rendering Indian paint industry to be poised for further growth. Nearly ~65% of the paint market is organized. The organized market is highly concentrated and a classic example of an oligopoly, where entry barriers are high and the ‘top-5’ players capture most of the market, while the unorganized market is highly fragmented with over 2,000 players.
The paint industry is expected to grow at 12-13% annually over the next five years from Rs 280 bn in FY13 to around Rs 500 bn by FY18. FY13 was a challenging year for the industry as a whole due to subdued demand across key sectors and rising inflation.
The paints sector is raw material intensive, with over 300 raw materials (50% petro-based derivatives) involved in the manufacturing process. Since most of the raw materials are petroleum based, the industry benefits from softening crude prices

Unorganized 35%

6.b. Paint Market Segmentation
1. Decorative: Major segments in decorative include exterior wall paints, interior wall paints, wood finishes and enamel and ancillary products such as primers, putties etc.
Decorative paints account for over 70% of the overall paint market in India.
Demand for decorative paints arises from household painting, architectural and other display purposes.
Demand in the festive season (September-December) is significant, as compared to other periods.
2. Industrial: Three main segments of the industrial sector include automotive coatings, powder coatings and protective coatings.
User industries for industrial paints include automobiles engineering and consumer durables.
The industrial paints segment is far more technology intensive than the decorative segment.

Key Points about Paint Industry
Supply
Supply exceeds demand in both the decorative as well as the industrial paints segments. Industry is fragmented. Demand Demand for decorative paints depends on the housing sector and good monsoons. Industrial paint demand is linked to user industries like auto, engineering and consumer durables.
Barriers to entry
Brand, distribution network, working capital efficiency and technology play a crucial role. Bargaining power of suppliers Price increase constrained with the presence of the unorganized sector for the decorative segment. Sophisticated buyers of industrial paints also limit the bargaining power of suppliers. It is therefore that margins are better in the decorative segment.
Bargaining power of customers
Moderate due to availability of wide choice. Competition In both categories, companies in the organized sector focus on brand building. Higher pricing through product differentiation is also followed as a competitive strategy.
6.c. Performance in Financial Year '13
FY13 was a mixed bag for the paint companies. While all the 3 players viz. Asian Paints, Kansai Nerolac and Berger Paints reported a strong growth in sales, operating margins came under severe pressure due to raw material price inflation. Top-line growth was boosted by strong demand from the rural markets. Nonetheless, the demand environment in the industrial segment continues to remain challenging.
Performance on the margins was impacted by the rising prices of crude oil and titanium dioxide which increased the overall expenditure, thereby impacting profitability growth. However, companies are undertaking a gradual and calibrated price increase in order to shield margins.
A good monsoon this year is expected to boost demand in the rural areas. A good harvest and festival season demand can boost volumes in the second half of FY14.
All the key players are in an expansion phase. As per estimates, paint capacities are expected to go up by 50-70% in the coming 3 to 5 years.

Future of tin packaging:
Solvent / Oil based paints
Until now, there has been no option other better than tin containers to pack solvent based paints, and hence the market has a positive demand scale for metal (tin) packaging
Water based paints
HDPE is aggressive in water based paints. The demand for metal cans is expected to reduce in this segment in future.
Tin packaging need innovative ideas on packaging to survive in this segment.

Based on the above findings it can be inferred that the use of tinplate for paint packaging is going to be restricted mainly to the Solvent/Oil based paints category in the Decorative Paint Segment and that the percentage of tin used for packaging water based paint solutions (and industrial paint) is going to be minimal in the times to come.
So, only the Solvent Based Paint solutions in the Decorative Category have been taken into consideration to estimate the approximate requirement of tinplate (in Metric Tonne) till 2014.
Other Assumptions made for further calculations are:
1Specific Gravity of Decorative Paint is 1.13.
Specific Gravity of Industrial Paints is 1.19.
CAGR of Decorative Paint has been taken constant at 6.6.
Category shares for FY2013 and FY2014 has been taken as constant.
There is no use of tinplate in industrial paint segment.
Usage of tinplate for packaging in other categories of decorative paints other than enamel, primer and wood coating is insignificant.

CMIE Prowess Database
Market Survey on Indian Paints and Coatings Industry by Nielsen
Market Survey Report by Feedback Management Services Private Limited
Web-based Research
Data Analysis:
For the first part of the study, total decorative paints market and industrial paints market in 2011- 2012 have been taken as base as per IPA Nielsen Report to make projections for the period 2012-2013 and 2013-2014. Thereafter taking CAGR of each segment as constant, market sizes in 2012-2013 and 2013- 2014 have been calculated.
Along with this, the volume (in Metric Tonnes) of each of the categories of decorative and industrial paints and their percentage shares have also been calculated for 2012-2013 and 2013-2014, taking category shares of the period 2011-2012 as constant, as given in the same industrial report.
7.c. Statistical Methods Used:
To identify the key parameters that influence the growth of the paints industry, and to establish their relation, Correlation Analysis has been done between the monthly, quarterly, and yearly data (as available in CMIE Prowess Database) of individual parameters vis-à-vis paint production of all kinds (in tonnes) using Scatter Diagram on Microsoft Office Excel to generate Pearson’s Coefficient of Correlation (R) and Coefficient of Determination (R) values for each set of data. After that, with the help of SPSS Software, value of Significance of Probability (p Value) for each correlation analysis i.e. for each value of R has been generated.
In the second part of the study, the trend of tinplate packaging in domestic paints industry has been closely monitored. Based on the market survey report conducted by Feedback Management Services Private Limited (a consumer market research firm of global repute), solvent-based Enamel, Primers, and
56. Page 55
Wood Coatings have been taken into account, since these are the categories that still use tinplate as the major packaging material for their SKUs, unlike other categories wherein low-cost substitutes like HDPE have made significant forays. In the survey report, quantity of tin used for making containers of each SKU size of these three categories was clearly stated. Taking these quantities as constants, tin consumption (in MT) for each category of paints for the year 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 has been calculated.

7.e.iii. Validation of the accuracy of the methodology adopted
Conversion of mass of decorative paints to volume of decorative paint assuming the specific gravity of decorative paint.
The specific gravity is assumed 1.13 (as per IPA Nielsen Market Survey).
The feedback consulting report states that the total volume of paint in Million Litre is 1870.
i.e. The calculation yields that the paint market volume in Million MT is 2.113. The IPA Nielsen survey states that the paint market volume in Million MT is 2.4. Hence the error percentage is [(2.4-2.113)/2.4]*100 = 11.95%. Hence the accuracy of the calculation is
(100-11.95) % = 88.04%.

Limitations of the Study
The project work was conducted under following limitations:
i. Company-wise data for individual category of paint production volume (Decorative and Industrial paints) were not available to validate against industrial data of total paint production volumes (cumulative as well as decorative and industrial paint categories) provided in the form of IPA Nielsen Survey Report.
ii. Compound Annual Growth Rates (CAGR) for total paint production, decorative paint production and industrial paint production- value-wise and volume-wise for 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 have been assumed to remain constant, which is expected to change year-over-year.
iii. Percentage share of each category of decorative paints and industrial paints for 2012-2013 and 2013- 2014 has been assumed to remain constant, which may not be so under original circumstances.
iv. The conclusion that the major Indian paints companies use tin as the preferred packaging material to pack their solvent-based enamel varieties and High-density Polyethylene (HDPE) to pack water-based enamel varieties is reached at based on packaging data available from paint company websites.
v. The trend of using tinplate for packaging water based enamels is gradually declining and the present usage is minimal in comparison to HDPE; but due to unavailability of data as to what extent the trend has declined or what percentage of water based enamels is packed in tin cans presently, the study had to be restricted to only solvent based enamel variety.

Scope of Further Study:
i. An extensive market survey can be conducted to collect primary data regarding to what extent brand owners in the domestic paints industry are preferring tin cans for packaging their products.
ii. The study can be further narrowed down to find out whether tin packaging is presently used only in the decorative segment- enamel category, or whether the industrial paints segment too contributes to tinplate consumption. If tinplate is found to be used in the industrial paints segment, then efforts should be made to find out which categories are packed in tin cans, no matter how minimal the percentage share is.
iii. From the industrial data provided for the purpose of this study (feedbackconsulting.com) it was evident that a negligible percentage of water-based enamels produced are packed in tins. However, research can be conducted to find out this percentage share in order to yield a more precise result and bring down the error percentage.
iv. Forecasting techniques such as Delphi Technique can be applied for more specific demand estimation.
A systematic forecasting method that involves structured interaction among a group of experts on a subject. The Delphi Technique typically includes at least two rounds of experts answering questions and giving justification for their answers, providing the opportunity between rounds for changes and revisions. The multiple rounds, which are stopped after a pre-defined criterion is reached, enable the group of experts to arrive at a consensus forecast on the subject being discussed.
Delphi is based on the principle that forecasts (or decisions) from a structured group of individuals are more accurate than those from unstructured groups.
