Global steel giant ArcelorMittal on Thursday posted over a 78 per cent fall in its net income to USD 993 million for the September quarter, mainly due to low demand and higher energy costs. The company follows January-December fiscal year. "ArcelorMittal recorded a net income for 3Q 2022 of USD 993 million as compared to a net income for 2Q 2022 of USD 3,923 million, and a net income of USD 4,621 million for 3Q 2021. "Sales in July-September also fell 6 per cent to USD 19 billion, USD 20.2 billion in the year-ago period, impacted primarily due to lower steel shipments," the company said. Total steel shipments in the third quarter stood at 13.36 million tonnes (MT), lower from 14.6 MT a year ago, largely reflecting weaker demand in Europe. Its gross debt increased to USD 9 billion as of September 30, 2022. It was USD 8.2 billion as on September 30, 2021. ArcelorMittal Chief Executive Officer Aditya Mittal said the strong market conditions enjoyed for much of the past two years ...

To maintain higher capacity utilisation, exports are necessary for local steel players expanding their capacities, as demand is not directly proportional to production, according to a top industry executive. "Since expansion happens... there will be a certain stage where you necessarily will have to export, if we have to be on high capacity utilisation," Dilip Oommen, CEO of ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel (AMNS) India told PTI. His comments assume significance as steel players are looking up to the government for relief in the form of roll back of the duties levied on steel exports. On May 21, the government hiked the duty on exports of iron ore by up to 50 per cent and for a few steel intermediaries to 15 per cent. In line with the government's 300 MT steel making capacity target, other steel players like Tata Steel, JSW Steel, SAIL and JSPL are also expanding their capacities to meet the goal.

A partnership between ArcelorMittal SA (AMSA) and South Africa's homegrown petrochemicals giant Sasol to develop a green hydrogen hub in Saldanha Bay is expected to give a huge boost to the hydrogen economy in the country. Saldanha Bay, located on the West Coast of South Africa, is the largest natural port on the African continent. The town suffered a serious economic blow when AMSA shut down its steel manufacturing plant there in 2020 at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Global steel magnate Laxmi Mittal's acquired AMSA after he first helped the ailing state-owned steel manufacturer Iscor turn its fortunes around in 2004. Now AMSA plans to become the first African green flat steel producer using green hydrogen at its plant in Saldanha Bay, while cutting back on its carbon footprint at its flagship steelworks in Vanderbijlpark. Sasol, which was established in the apartheid era to produce fuel from coal as the white minority government faced global sanctions, has evolved into a
