March 13 (Reuters) - India's Jindal Stainless JIST.NS on Friday said that its plants were operating at a reduced capacity because of fuel shortages in the wake of disruptions from the Middle East war.
“Due to the heavy dependence of stainless steel manufacturing on industrial gases such as propane/ LPG and natural gas, several processes across our plants have been adversely impacted," the company said in an exchange filing.
India's crude oil, LPG, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies have been disrupted due to shipping constraints after the U.S. and Israel's war with Iran halted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, compelling India to scramble for alternatives such as buying more from Russia.
Authorities have also diverted gas supplies from industry to prioritize household consumption.
"Given the constraints in fuel availability, our plants are operating at a rationalised capacity," the company added.
The company also flagged additional pressure on supply chains and margins from disruptions in global shipping routes that have caused vessel diversions, longer transit times and cargo delays.
Jindal Stainless, the country's biggest stainless steel producer, had last week warned of possible shipment delays.
Scores of small Indian steel producers have warned of cuts to production as the escalating Middle East war disrupts gas supplies to India, the world's biggest producer of the alloy after China, Reuters had reported earlier.

March 10 - By Ira Dugal, Editor Financial News, with global Reuters staff
The Iran war’s effect on business is growing rather dramatically. From gas curbs to export delays, Indian companies are already feeling the strain. And so are financial markets, forcing a step-up in intervention from the central bank.
From fertiliser producers, to makers of ceramics to crafters of jewellery, a broad swathe of Indian companies has found itself in the cross-hairs of the war. That's our focus this week. Are there as-yet unanticipated ways in which the Middle East crisis could hit Indian firms? Write to me at [email protected].
And foreign outflows from Indian IT stocks hit a seven-month high in February. Scroll down for more on that.
THIS WEEK IN ASIA
Iran defies Trump, elevates Khamenei's son Mojtaba as successor
China says US talks vital as Trump targets Beijing's key partners
Airlines begin to hike fares due to higher fuel prices, shares stabilise
US pressing Sri Lanka not to repatriate Iranian crew and survivors from sunken ship, memo says
Vietnam eyes new 5G deals with Chinese tech firms, sources say, despite US warnings
SHORTAGES, SUPPLY DISRUPTIONS, PRICE HIKES
The U.S.-Israel war with Iran, now into its second week, is casting its shadow on businesses across the world, including India's.
The first point of impact has been higher oil prices - which rose above $110 per barrel but slid on Tuesday as U.S. President Donald Trump's comments raised hopes of an end to the war. But disruption to trade through the Strait of Hormuz and stoppage of gas supplies are also having a more immediate impact on Indian businesses.
Over the past week, GAIL GAIL.NS and IOC IOC.NS restricted gas supplies to industrial customers after Qatar halted production of liquefied natural gas and shipments were disrupted.
India, the world's fourth-largest buyer of LNG, relies heavily on the Middle East for its imports.
The gas shortages will likely hit the fertiliser sector quickly, where some manufacturers such as Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers GNFC.NS have already announced planned production cuts.
Similar cuts are being seen across the region, which could potentially curb supplies just as farmers gear up for their major cereal planting season, Reuters' Naveen Thukral reported.
India imports about a third of its fertiliser needs. The government, however, was confident supplies will be adequate and added it is taking steps to diversify imports beyond the crisis-hit Middle East.
The ceramic and tiles industry has been another early casualty of fuel-supply shortages, with a number of firms planning on paring production. And restaurants have taken to social media to complain about a shortage of industrial-sized gas cylinders.
Alongside, businesses that export to the Middle East are starting to warn about delays in shipments.
India's gems and jewellery exports, as well as imports of rough diamonds from the United Arab Emirates, are being impacted because of widespread flight cancellations and airspace closures, Reuters' Rajendra Jadhav reported.
Jindal Stainless JIST.NS, India's biggest stainless steel producer, has warned of shipment delays.
India is not alone in feeling the impact, with many global businesses under pressure. Read here for an assessment of the global impact.
Prices are starting to be impacted as well, with India raising cooking gas prices, even though the government has ruled out a hike in retail costs of petrol and diesel for now.
The one silver lining is that interest rates may not rise immediately as production cuts due to shortages of fuel-based raw material and disruptions to exports may mean a quicker hit to India's growth than to inflation.
Read that analysis here.
In a scenario where oil prices average $120 per barrel in financial year 2026-27, inflation may rise to 4.8% while growth may slip to 6.2% from a currently estimated 7%, said Soumya Kanti Ghosh, chief economist at State Bank of India, the country's largest bank.
STEPPING UP INTERVENTION
With no quick resolution in sight and financial markets jittery, India's central bank has stepped up intervention.
It sold about $12 billion from its foreign exchange reserves to steady the rupee, which fell to a record low below 92 against the dollar this week.
It also bought bonds via the secondary markets and announced purchases of another 1 trillion rupees over the next week, to keep liquidity comfortable and interest rates in check.
The government too has activated contingency measures at ports to ensure additional storage facilities for exports bound for the Middle East that may be stuck or returning midway due to a lack of safe transit.
"Risk-off sentiments will keep the Indian rupee under pressure, while the RBI intervenes judiciously, balancing pressures on FX reserves and the need to maintain banking system liquidity," Kotak Institutional Equities said in a note.
MARKET MATTERS
Indian IT stocks fell the most in February since the global financial crisis as foreign selling hit its highest in seven months on concerns about the impact artificial intelligence models will have on the software business, data released on Friday showed.
Foreign portfolio investors sold IT stocks worth 169.49 billion rupees ($1.85 billion) last month, triggering a 19.5% drop in the IT index .NIFTYIT, its worst monthly performance since September 2008, when the global financial crisis upended equity markets.

THIS WEEK'S MUST-READ
The southern Indian state of Karnataka, home to the tech hub of Bengaluru, banned on Friday the use of social media by those under the age of 16.
Read here for more on the decision.
Karnataka became the first Indian state to implement a ban even though a wider debate in the country kicked off after an annual economic document from the government's chief economic adviser earlier this year said that India should draft policies on age-based access limits to tackle "digital addiction".

NEW DELHI, March 6 (Reuters) - India's Jindal Stainless JIST.NS said on Friday there may be some delays in steel shipments to the Middle East in the near term due to the conflict in the region.
The country's biggest stainless steel producer said the Middle East accounted for a small share of its export market but that the company remained committed to serving the region.
"Given the escalating conditions, there may be some delays in shipment arrivals in the near term, due to extended transit timelines across certain international shipping routes and air spaces," Abhyuday Jindal, managing director of Jindal Stainless, told Reuters.
He said it was premature to comment on any kind of surcharges.
The company was closely monitoring the evolving geopolitical situation and was prepared to ensure minimal disruption to its supply chain and operations, Jindal said.
"One focus area currently is the availability of certain industrial gases and raw materials, such as limestone and dolomite, sourced from the (Middle East)," Jindal added, saying that while the company maintained adequate inventory levels, they were prepared to tap other sourcing options to prevent any impact on production.
Some steel companies are also bracing to pay higher prices for gas.
Reuters reported on Thursday that India's Adani Total Gas ADAG.NS has sharply raised prices for supplies to industrial clients, citing lower availability of gas due to the conflict in the Middle East.

Dec 31 (Reuters) - Shares of major Indian steel companies climbed between 2% and 5% on Wednesday after the country imposed a three-year import tariff on select products to curb cheap shipments from China.
The levy, locally known as a safeguard duty, will be imposed at 12% in the first year followed by 11.5% in the second year and then 11% in the third year.
Tata Steel TISC.NS and JSW Steel JSTL.NS rose 2.4% and 5%, respectively, leading gainers on the benchmark Nifty 50 .NSEI index. Steel Authority of India SAIL.NS and Jindal Steel JINT.NS also added 2.5% and 3.5%.
"Post announcement of the safeguard duty, the domestic steel prices are currently at about 13% to 15% discount to the landed cost of imports from China, providing sufficient headroom for price hikes by domestic manufacturers," said Sunny Agrawal, head of fundamental equity research at SBICAPS Securities.
The move follows the Directorate General of Trade Remedies' findings of a sharp surge in imports causing injury to domestic producers.
Earlier, the government had implemented a temporary 12% duty for 200 days in April . While that shorter duration caused investor uncertainty, the new three-year window provides long-term protection for local players, according to the analyst.
The metal stocks .NIFTYMET hit a record 11,189.8 points on the day, gaining as much as 1.7%. The sectoral gauge has risen in 12 of the previous 14 sessions, supported by firm prices for copper, aluminium and silver.
A rise in commodity prices is driven by expectations of two U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2026, improved Chinese demand and supply shortages, as per analysts.
The domestic metal index has jumped roughly 29% in 2025, outperforming the Nifty 50's 10% advance.

Jan 29 (Reuters) - Indian steelmaker Jindal Stainless JIST.NS reported a 5.3% fall in third-quarter profit on Wednesday, hurt by lower prices amid discounted imports from China as well as rising expenses.
The company's consolidated profit after tax declined to 6.54 billion rupees (about $76 million) for the quarter ended Dec. 31 from 6.91 billion rupees a year earlier.
Indian steelmakers have been battling an influx of discounted Chinese steel, with shipments hitting an all-time high during the April-December period.
Jindal Stainless said the dip in profit happened as stainless steel prices have been declining globally, while incessant low-priced imports pressured margins in both domestic and export markets.
Its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization fell to 12.08 billion rupees in the quarter, down 5.3% on-year.
Domestic sales grew 20% in the quarter, driven by higher sales to the automobile industry, while exports fell 22%.
The company's net revenue rose 8.5% to 99.07 billion rupees, while total expenses jumped 10% to 91.02 billion rupees.

P&G buying more steel from Indian manufacturer Jindal-data
Move could offset costs if Trump imposes steel tariffs
P&G shifting away from Japanese, Swedish manufacturers-data
By Jessica DiNapoli and Richa Naidu
NEW YORK, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Procter & Gamble PG.N has overhauled its supply chain for the tiny, extra-thin strips of stainless steel in its Gillette razors to source from India, a move expected to help protect its margins from any tariffs U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump may impose.
The stainless steel the Gillette-brand razor maker uses is highly specialized to prevent nicks and cuts and is only produced in large quantities by a handful of companies, none of which are located in the U.S., P&G has told the U.S. Commerce Department in public filings.
A Reuters analysis of import records over the past four years shows that P&G has shifted where it buys the stainless steel for its top grooming brands in the United States, its biggest market, to a cheaper Indian manufacturer, a move that may help it offset higher costs in Trump's second term.
The Cincinnati-based company now primarily obtains the steel for Gillette from New Delhi-based Jindal Stainless, JIST.NS according to the U.S. import records for P&G subsidiaries, including Gillette.
Investors view P&G as a top operator in the competitive consumer products industry, with its margins exceeding those of rivals like Kimberly-Clark. KMB.N
It's a pattern P&G hopes to keep after Trump takes office in early 2025. During his first term, P&G faced $1.4 billion in external costs including tariffs that ate into profits.
A P&G spokesperson confirmed that the company has worked with Jindal, adding that details of its relationships with business partners are competitively sensitive. A spokesperson added that "it would not be accurate to point to cost as the sole driver of any sourcing decision."
Previously P&G bought mostly pricier Japanese and Swedish steel for Gillette, according to the import records, provided exclusively to Reuters by ImportYeti. Hefty tariffs during Trump's first term added to the costs of Japanese and Swedish steel, although P&G eventually secured an exemption from them.
Trump, who has said "tariff" is his favorite word, has pitched a fresh roster of tariffs, targeting China, Mexico and Canada, putting consumer-product makers on the defensive.
P&G's Chief Financial Officer Andre Schulten said during meetings with investors on November 21 that the company will have to adjust its supply chain as it sees how Trump implements tariffs. Despite years of underperformance, recent strategies to improve its grooming business have been working, the division's CEO, Gary Coombe, said.
Making steel for shaving razors is labor-intensive, giving Indian manufacturers an edge on cost, said Markus Moll, managing director at Steel & Metals Market Research, an independent market research company. He estimates Jindal's steel is about 20-25% cheaper than competitors.
He added that Jindal has been manufacturing the material for about 15 to 20 years for Indian clients.
Jindal, which says it is the world's biggest maker of stainless steel for razor blades, has mainly supplied non-U.S. markets, an industry executive not permitted to speak to the media, said. Although Jindal has long had a relationship with P&G, P&G's imports from Jindal to the U.S. began in 2022, according to the records from ImportYeti, which compiles bills of lading. P&G imported at least 4,283,569 kilograms (4,721 U.S. tons) of stainless steel from Jindal over the past 36 months, according to the data.
Jindal did not comment specifically on the steel used in razor blades, P&G or its Gillette razors. Abhyuday Jindal, managing director of Jindal Stainless, said in a statement that the manufacturer works with its customers to "create value in their business and using pricing as a lever is our last priority."
Earlier this year, P&G said Jindal was a top supplier that "consistently performed at high levels," according to an internal company blog. The P&G spokesperson said that P&G constantly seeks new suppliers globally that can meet its needs, and that very few do. P&G has not made any substantive changes to its core suppliers, the spokesperson said.
According to the data reviewed by Reuters, P&G has cut back on its imports from Japan's Proterial and Sweden's Alleima ALLEI.ST. In this year through October, its imports from Proterial were nearly 59% less than in 2023, while P&G has received no steel shipments from Alleima this year, the data shows.
Gillette has been working with Proterial for more than 50 years, and Alleima for over 20, according to filings with the U.S. Commerce Department.
Alleima did not respond to requests for comment. Proterial declined to comment.
Grooming, P&G's smallest business by revenue, has faced years of struggles. During the pandemic, sales declined as men grew beards and shaved less. Before that, start-ups like Dollar Shave Club and Harry's were able to grab valuable market share from pricier Gillette. A four-pack of Gillette Labs Men's Razor Blade refills sells for nearly $29 at TGT.N Target.com, according to the retailer's website.
