It is expected that with improved ease of doing business in India, including the reform of labor laws, rationalization of land acquisition, and faster provision of transport and connectivity infrastructure, both foreign and domestic investment will pick up in manufacturing. The hope is that the rate of growth of manufacturing will accelerate and the share of manufacturing in GDP, which has been stagnant at about 15 per cent for the last three decades, will increase to 25 per cent.

  • 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.

  • The Business Today: the Bargain Hunters Corporate Czars Are Looking to Acquire Stressed Assets of India's Dozen Big Defaulters
    The Business Today: The Bargain Hunters Corporate czars are looking to acquire stressed assets of India's dozen big defaulters. A look at what that means for industry and banks. Nevin John New Delhi Print Edition: December 31, 2017 On 17 November, a 27-member team from London-based ArcelorMittal drove into Essar Steel's 10 million tonne (MT) steel manufacturing complex at Hazira in Gujarat. The team, led by Aditya Mittal, 41, son of steel baron Lakshmi Mittal and CFO of the world's largest steelmaker, had come for a first round of due diligence. Mittal asked for safety gear-yellow hard hats and steel toe leather boots-to walk through the plant. Mittal, who looks much younger than his years, took a close look at how steel was being made and discussed processes that Essar follows. It was a first step towards identifying and verifying records and processes at Essar Steel. For Essar Steel employees, Mittal and team were just one group of visitors to question them and check out the plant. Around the time of the ArcelorMittal visit, the Hazira complex hosted teams from Tata Steel and Japan's Nippon Steel. The Nippon team came with due diligence experts and M&A specialists. The race to acquire assets of the 12 big defaulters referred to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) by their lenders, after being nudged by the Reserve Bank of India, or RBI, is gathering pace. It is raising hopes that banks which have lent money to these companies will not have to completely write off their investments and that at least a part of India's depressing `8 lakh crore non-performing assets, or NPA, story will be redeemed.

Charter for Land Sovereignty* (Bhu Swaraj) 1. Land is the basis of our sustenance. It is a sacred trust for human sustenance and long-term survival. 2. Land is not a commodity, which can be bought and sold at will in a market driven by speculative finance, which allows corporate capital to dispossess small peasants of their land and become the new zamindars (landlords) 3. Land must belong to those who till it, tend it and nurse it and for whom it is a source of sustenance. And not to those for whom it is a means of accumulating wealth and speculative gain or object of luxury resort and idle pastime. 4. Ensuring Livelihood Security and Food Security must receive over-riding priority in determining land use pattern. Diversion and destruction of fertile agricultural land for industry, housing or entertainment of the affluent must be banned.

But as we move from one disaster to the next and memories of the old fade – so did those of this natural calamity. People were rehabilitated and recuperated. Little did they know they would face a devastation of a different kind within less than a decade.
