INTRODUCTION

Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) is the leading steel-making company in India. It is a fully
integrated iron and steel maker, producing both basic and special steels for domestic construction,
engineering, power, railway, automotive and defence industries and for sale in export markets.

Ranked amongst the top ten public sector companies in India in terms of turnover, SAIL
manufactures and sells a broad range of steel products, including hot and cold rolled sheets and coils,
galvanised sheets, electrical sheets, structurals, railway products, plates, bars and rods, stainless steel
and other alloy steels. SAIL produces iron and steel at five integrated plants and three special steel
plants, located principally in the eastern and central regions of India and situated close to domestic
sources of raw materials, including the Company's iron ore, limestone and dolomite mines. The
company has the distinction of being India’s second largest producer of iron ore and of having the
country’s second largest mines network. This gives SAIL a competitive edge in terms of captive
availability of iron ore, limestone, and dolomite which are inputs for steel making.

SAIL's wide range of long and flat steel products are much in demand in the domestic as well as the
international market. This vital responsibility is carried out by SAIL's own Central Marketing
Organisation (CMO) that transacts business through its network of 37 Branch Sales Offices spread
across the four regions, 25 Departmental Warehouses, 42 Consignment Agents and 27 Customer
Contact Offices. CMO’s domestic marketing effort is supplemented by its ever widening network of
rural dealers who meet the demands of the smallest customers in the remotest corners of the country.
With the total number of dealers over 2000 , SAIL's wide marketing spread ensures availability of
quality steel in virtually all the districts of the country.

SAIL's International Trade Division ( ITD), in New Delhi- an ISO 9001:2000 accredited unit of
CMO, undertakes exports of Mild Steel products and Pig Iron from SAIL’s five integrated steel
plants.

With technical and managerial expertise and know-how in steel making gained over four decades,
SAIL's Consultancy Division (SAILCON) at New Delhi offers services and consultancy to clients
world-wide.

SAIL has a well-equipped Research and Development Centre for Iron and Steel (RDCIS) at Ranchi
which helps to produce quality steel and develop new technologies for the steel industry. Besides,
SAIL has its own in-house Centre for Engineering and Technology (CET), Management Training
Institute (MTI) and Safety Organisation at Ranchi. Our captive mines are under the control of the
Raw Materials Division in Kolkata. The Environment Management Division and Growth Division of
SAIL operate from their headquarters in Kolkata. Almost all the plants and major units are ISO
Certified.
