Steel Industry in India

Last Updated: April 2013

Introduction

Indian steel industry plays a significant role in the country's economic growth. India has acquired a central position on the global steel map with its giant steel mills, acquisition of global scale capacities by players, continuous modernisation and up-gradation of old plants, improving energy efficiency, and backward integration into global raw material sources.

Currently, ranked the world's fourth largest crude steel capacity, India is expected to become the second largest producer of crude steel in the world by 2015-16. India is also the world's largest producer of sponge iron with a host of coal-based units located in its mineral-rich states.

India's steel making capacity is estimated to exceed 100 million tonnes (MT) by 2013 and the production is expected to reach 275 MT by 2020. The per capita steel consumption increased from 34 Kilograms (Kg) in 2004-05 to 59 kg in 2011-12.

Market Size

The World Steel Association has estimated steel consumption in India to grow at five per cent in 2013. "Steel producers may see a spurt in demand in the medium term if the Indian Government implements its US$ 1 trillion infrastructure investment plan," as per India Ratings.

Indian crude steel production is estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 10 per cent during 2010-2013, whereas the finished steel consumption is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 12 per cent during FY 2012-14, as per a RNCOS research report titled, 'Indian Steel Industry Outlook to 2012'.
