• Steel production in India has increased at a CAGR of 7.9 per cent over FY2009–14 to Fourth-largest producer 81.54 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). The country is slated to become the second- of crude steel largest steel producer by 2016, as large public and private sector players strengthen steel production capacity in view of rising demand • Huge scope for growth is offered by India’s comparatively low per capita steel Strong growth consumption and the expected rise in consumption due to increased infrastructure opportunities construction and the thriving automobile and railways sectors Technological • Increased government and corporate sector focus on using innovative production advancements techniques for enhancing operational as well as financial performance is a positive • Domestic players’ investments in expanding and upgrading manufacturing facilities are Rising domestic and expected to reduce reliance on imports.
