1 REPORT INTRODUCTORY Steel Is Key to the Development of Any
REPORT INTRODUCTORY Steel is key to the development of any country and is considered to be the mainstay of the human civilization. The level of per capita consumption of steel is treated as economic indicator of a country. All major industrial economies are characterized by the existence of a strong steel industry and the growth of many of these economies has been largely shaped by the strength of their steel industries in this initial stages of development. India has been one of the major producers of steel in the world. Prior to the economic reforms of the early 1990s, the Steel Industry of India was regulated and controlled by the Government Policies. After liberalization the Indian Steel Industry evolved significantly to conform to international standards. The India Steel Industry is expected to play a significant role in India‟s economic development in the years to come. Availability of iron ore in the country and well furnished facilities for steel productions are the major aspects which will play a major role in the growth of the steel industry in India. The domestic steel industry has a tremendous growth potential and likely to register significant growth in the coming years in view of the rising demand of steel in infrastructure and realty sectors. However, one of the major initiatives that need to be taken is to focus on increasing consumption of steel in the rural areas. In order to realize the growth potential in the steel sector, it is imperative that the steel industry remain competitive. The availability of critical inputs such as iron ore and coke is equally important for sustainable growth of the industry.
