unsubordinated obligations and will be effectively subordinated to its secured obligations and the obligations of its subsidiaries. Each of the Guarantees
will be an unsecured obligation of the Guarantor (save for such exceptions as may be provided under applicable legislation), rank pari passu with its
other existing and future unsecured obligations and be effectively subordinated to the secured obligations of the Guarantor and the obligations of its

all of such Noteholders' Notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Notes (the
"Conditions"), the Issuer may also redeem all of the Notes at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest if at any time the Issuer or
the Guarantor becomes obligated to pay withholding taxes as a result of certain changes in tax law. Subject to the above and unless previously redeemed,
purchased, exchanged or cancelled, the 2020 Notes will mature and the Issuer will redeem the 2020 Notes at their principal amount on January 31, 2020
and the 2024 Notes will mature and the Issuer will redeem the 2024 Notes at their principal amount on July 31, 2024.

(howsoever described) in that trust shall not be transferred within six months after that corporation or that trust
has acquired the Notes pursuant to an offer made under Section 275 of the SFA except:
(i)

person acting on behalf of the Stabilizing Manager may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and
directives, over-allot the Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the price of the Notes at a level
higher than that which might otherwise prevail, but in so doing, the Stabilizing Manager or any person acting on
behalf of the Stabilizing Manager shall act as principal and not as agent of the Issuer or the Guarantor. However,
there is no assurance that the Stabilizing Manager or any person acting on behalf of the Stabilizing Manager will
undertake stabilization action. Any loss or profit sustained as a consequence of any such overallotment or
stabilization shall be for the account of the Joint Lead Managers.
iii


ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
The Guarantor is a public limited company incorporated under the laws of India. Substantially all of its directors
and key management personnel named herein reside in India and all or a substantial portion of the assets of the
Guarantor and such persons are located in India. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service
of process on the Guarantor or such persons in jurisdictions outside of India, or to enforce against them
judgments obtained in courts outside of India predicated upon civil liabilities of the Guarantor or such directors
and executive officers under laws other than Indian law.
Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is provided for under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (the
"Civil Code") on a statutory basis. Section 13 of the Civil Code provides that a foreign judgment shall be
conclusive regarding any matter directly adjudicated upon, except: (i) where the judgment has not been
pronounced by a court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) where the judgment has not been given on the merits of the
case; (iii) where it appears on the face of the proceedings that the judgment is founded on an incorrect view of
international law or a refusal to recognize the law of India in cases to which such law is applicable; (iv) where
the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to natural justice; (v) where the judgment has
been obtained by fraud; or (vi) where the judgment sustains a claim founded on a breach of any law then in force
in India.
India is not a party to any international treaty in relation to the recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments.
Section 44A of the Civil Code provides that where a foreign judgment has been rendered by a superior court,
within the meaning of such section, in any country or territory outside India which the Government of India (the
"Government") has by notification declared to be a reciprocating territory, it may be enforced in India by
proceedings in execution as if the judgment had been rendered by the relevant court in India. However,
Section 44A of the Civil Code is applicable only to monetary decrees, which are not amounts payable in respect
of taxes, other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty, and does not apply to an arbitration
award, even if such award is enforceable as a decree or judgment.
The United Kingdom, Singapore and Hong Kong have been declared by the Government to be reciprocating
territories for the purposes of Section 44A, but the United States has not been so declared. A judgment of a court
in a country which is not a reciprocating territory may be enforced in India only by a fresh suit upon the
judgment and not by proceedings in execution. Such a suit has to be filed in India within three years from the
date of the judgment in the same manner as any other suit filed to enforce a civil liability in India. It is unlikely
that a court in India would award damages on the same basis as a foreign court would if an action were brought
in India. Furthermore, it is unlikely that an Indian court would enforce foreign judgments if that court were of the
view that the amount of damages awarded was excessive or inconsistent with Indian public policy. A party
seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain approval from the Reserve Bank of India
("RBI") to repatriate outside India any amount recovered pursuant to such award and any such amount may be
subject to income tax in accordance with applicable laws. Any judgment in a foreign currency would be
converted into Indian Rupees on the date of the judgment and not on the date of the payment.
The Issuer is incorporated in the Republic of Singapore and the Guarantor is incorporated in India. The Issuer is a
special-purpose company with limited assets, while all or a substantial portion of the Guarantor's assets are
located in Europe, India and other jurisdictions. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service
of process outside of Europe, India or the jurisdictions in which the Guarantor conducts its business, including
judgments, upon such persons, or to enforce against the Guarantor in an Indian court, judgments obtained in
courts outside of India.
iv


ENFORCEMENT OF THE GUARANTEE
In the event a guarantee issued by an Indian company on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary is enforced by a
competent court in a territory other than a "reciprocal territory", the judgment must be enforced in India by a suit
upon the judgment and not by proceedings in execution. Such a suit has to be filed in India within three years
from the date of the judgment in the same manner as any other suit filed to enforce a civil liability in India. A
party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain approval from the RBI to repatriate
outside India any amount recovered pursuant to the execution of such a judgment, unless the amount is to be
repatriated pursuant to the guarantee provided under the automatic route. For further details on the recognition
and enforcement of foreign judgments in India, see "Enforcement of Civil Liabilities".
The Guarantor would not be entitled to immunity on the basis of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal
proceedings in India to enforce the Guarantee or any liability or obligation of the Guarantor arising thereunder.
As the Guarantee is an obligation of a type which Indian courts would usually enforce, the Guarantee should be
enforced against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms by an Indian court, subject to the following
exceptions:
· enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity, such as injunction;
· Indian courts have sole discretion to grant specific performance of the Guarantee and the same may not be
available, including where damages are considered by the Indian court to be an adequate remedy, or where the
court does not regard specific performance to be the appropriate remedy;
· actions may become barred under the Limitation Act, 1963, or may be or become subject to set-off or
counterclaim, and failure to exercise a right of action within the relevant limitation period prescribed will
operate as a bar to the exercise of such right;
· any certificate, determination, notification, opinion or the like will not be binding on an Indian court which
will have to be independently satisfied on the contents thereof for the purpose of enforcement despite any
provisions in the documents to the contrary; and
· all limitations resulting from the laws of reorganization, suretyship or similar laws of general application
affecting creditors' rights.
For details on the Indian laws and regulations under which the Guarantee is issued, see "Indian Government
Filings/Approvals".
v


PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Financial Data
All historical non-consolidated financial information in this Offering Memorandum is that of the Guarantor on a
non-consolidated basis. All historical consolidated financial information in this Offering Memorandum is that of
the Guarantor, its consolidated subsidiaries and proportionately consolidated joint ventures. In this Offering
Memorandum, unless otherwise specified, all financial information is of the Group on a consolidated basis.
The annual audited financial statements of the Group, on a consolidated basis, and of the Guarantor, on a
non-consolidated basis, as at and for the years ended March 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 (collectively, the "Annual
Financial Statements") have each been prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP and the Companies Act (as
defined herein).
Indian GAAP differs in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). For a discussion of certain significant differences between Indian
GAAP and IFRS, see "Description of Certain Differences between Indian GAAP and IFRS". In making an
investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the Guarantor, the terms of the offering and
the financial information contained in this Offering Memorandum. Potential investors should consult their own
professional advisers for an understanding of the differences between Indian GAAP and US GAAP or IFRS, and
how these differences might affect their understanding of the financial information contained herein.
Information in the Annual Financial Statements is, unless otherwise stated therein, stated in rupees in "crore",
whereas in the rest of this Offering Memorandum, financial information is stated in millions of rupees, unless
otherwise specified. One crore is equal to 10 million.
The Annual Financial Statements have been audited by Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP, Chartered Accountants, as
set forth in their audit reports included herein.
Reporting Segments
The Group has two segments for financial reporting purposes, which are:
· the steel segment, which is the Group's principal business segment and predominantly includes the production
and sale of finished and semi-finished steel products; and
· the other operations segment, which includes the production and sale of ferro alloys, tubes, bearings, refractory
products and pigments and also includes port operations, municipal services provided to the city of
Jamshedpur and investment activities.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As used in this Offering Memorandum, a non-GAAP financial measure is one that purports to measure historical
financial performance, financial position or cash flows, but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so
adjusted in the most comparable IFRS measures. From time to time, reference is made in this Offering
Memorandum to such "non-GAAP financial measures", including EBITDA, or (unless otherwise specified)
earnings before finance income and costs, taxation, depreciation, amortization and impairment and share of
results of associates, and net debt, or (unless otherwise specified) non-current borrowings plus current
borrowings minus cash and cash equivalents, current and non-current restricted cash, and short-term investments.
The Group's management believes that EBITDA, net debt, operating free cash flow, return on average net worth,
return on average capital employed and other non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional
information about the Group's performance, as well as ability to incur and service debt and fund capital
expenditure, and are measures commonly used by investors. For more detailed information concerning EBITDA,
see "Summary Financial and Operating Data". The non-GAAP financial measures described herein are not a
substitute for IFRS measures of earnings and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by
other companies due to differences in the way these measures are calculated.
Rounding
Certain amounts and percentages included in this Offering Memorandum have been rounded. Accordingly, in
certain instances, the sum of the numbers in a column may not equal the total figure for that column.
