It is, therefore, important to ensure that this demand is served through a robust domestic steel industry. The Ministry of Steel alongside the CPSEs have, therefore, undertaken several initiatives to create a globally competitive steel sector. 1.2.1 Chintan Shivir – Collaborative platform to identify key thrust areas for the industry The Indian steel sector is a diverse and vibrant ecosystem comprising of a multitude of stakeholders across the value chain. Each stakeholder brings valuable inputs to the sector based on their rich experience. In order to leverage these experiences and ensure efficient operationalization of the envisioned initiatives, the Ministry regularly facilitates interaction with the various stakeholders. Along these lines, the Chintan Shivir was organized on 23rd September 2019, as a collaborative platform to bring together all stakeholders of the Indian steel industry to address challenges, identify opportunities and arrive at tangible outcomes to steer the Indian steel industry on the path of sustainable growth. Over 900 stakeholders were part of this event. Over the course of the deliberations, 32 major challenges were identified. Additionally, 40 major suggestions were captured and 17 initiatives of the Ministry of Steel were discussed by the gathered participants. -5- Annual Report 2019-20 Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Hon’ble Union Minister of Steel giving inaugural speech during the ‘Chintan Shivir’ at Manekshaw Centre, Delhi Cantonment, New Delhi. 1.2.2 Make in Steel – Accelerating demand for steel: Committee of Secretaries note on increasing steel usage in construction and infrastructure India’s annual per capital steel consumption is 74 kg and is one-third the global average (224.5kg). India currently utilizes less steel intensive construction methodologies for buildings, roads and bridges and hence does not fully utilize the numerous benefits of steel intensive construction. A transition to steel intensive construction will also support India’s rise to a $5 trillion economy by 2024-25. The Ministry of Steel held 50+ consultations with government agencies and private players to identify the various advantages of steel intensive construction and the measures required to bring about the transition. -6- Annual Report 2019-20 Steel intensive construction is prevalent across the globe and an increase in steel use is strongly correlated with an economy’s GDP growth, especially during the nation building phase. Steel’s advantages over conventional construction methodologies such as lower life cycle cost, more durable and safer buildings, roads and bridges, reduced construction time, enhanced environmental sustainability and reduced air pollution without a significant rise in upfront cost ensures that economic development happens at a fast and environmentally sustainable pace. Furthermore, steel is a permanent material contributing to the circular economy due to its recyclable and reusable nature along with its reduced energy consumptions during the manufacturing phase and lower embodied carbon. Ministry of Steel has prepared a Committee of Secretaries (CoS) note seeking approvals on various measures required to increase steel usage in the construction and infrastructure sectors in India and ensure that the Indian economy grows at a quick and environmentally sustainable pace. Enabling a transition to steel intensive construction requires a change in the General Financial Rules (GFR) mandating life cycle cost analysis for government projects during the design phase, and increasing steel intensive construction’s coverage and depth in Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) life cycle and building design codes. Furthermore, modifications in Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) guidelines to mandate life cycle cost analysis for roads and bridges and inclusion of pre-approved steel intensive bridge designs will also promote steel intensive roads and bridges. Inclusion of steel intensive construction and work rates in CPWD Plinth Area Rate (PAR) and Delhi Schedule of Rates (DSR) will enable faster approvals for steel intensive construction due to easier cost estimates of projects. Ensuring implementation of IRC guidelines for crash barrier installation and regular checks will reduce fatal vehicle accidents. 1.2.3 Make in India: Boost domestic manufacturing through the Domestically Manufactured Iron & Steel Products Policy (DMI& SP) Ministry of Steel has recently amended the Domestically Manufactured Iron & Steel Products Policy (DMI& SP) in order to increase domestic sourcing of iron & steel products by Central Government agencies. Through this DMI & SP policy, Steel imports worth more than Rs. 15,000 cr. have so far been avoided. -7- Annual Report 2019-20 1.2.4 Ispati Irada – To encourage steel usage Ministry of Steel has launched a collaborative branding campaign with the objective of promoting the benefits of steel usage in various facets of nation building and how it impacts the lives of citizens in the country. The brand elements for this campaign may be leveraged by various organizations like State Governments, State PSUs, private companies, non-profit organizations basis certain pre-defined guidelines being defined by the Ministry of Steel. 1.2.5 Capacity Creation As demand increases, ensuring a self-sufficient steel ecosystem will necessitate further steel capacity addition and value addition in the country.

  • Rourkela Steel Plant Through Online Auction and How This Process Is Very Helpful As Compared to the Previous System That Is “Order Booking System”
    Online Marketing of Steel: A Case Study of Metaljunction.com EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This project entitled “Online marketing of Steel: A Case Study on Metaljunction.com and RSP ” is undertaken as a partial completion for my MBA degree in Center for Management Studies,(OEC) (Bhubaneswar) The main purpose of this project is to find out the process to sale the secondary steel products of Rourkela Steel Plant through online auction and how this process is very helpful as compared to the previous system that is “Order Booking System”. During the production of prime products some scraps and defectives items are generated in course of production. These are generally used by different small- scale industries for different purposes. There fore these secondary products are to be marketed in various ways and to all type of venders, and it is very tough task for Rourkela Steel Plant to satisfy all the venders by giving equal weight age to all. This project makes a deep study on the system followed for marketing in Rourkela Steel Plant so as to make the company as well as the customers (small scale industries) beneficiary. Rourkela Steel Plant, one of the pioneering units of SAIL is a hallmark of excellence in the steel-making scenario of India today. All SAIL products including products of Rourkela Steel Plants are marketed through it’s Central Marketing Department (CMO). To ensure quality and prompt dispatch of the products, CMO keeps I touch with producing units as well as the transport and shipping sectors. 1 Online Marketing of Steel: A Case Study of Metaljunction.com Marketing itself a tough job, which requires proper planning, logic and strategic to be applied at correct time and place.

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.
