About The Event

Steel is considered as the backbone of national economic development. It is a major input into sectors which
support economic growth such as infrastructure, machinery, power and railways, as well as being important for
fast growing sectors, in particular automobiles and consumer durables.
Indian steel industry is currently in a very volatile position resultant of ambitious capacity expansion plans, entry
of new players and increased competition on one hand and consistently rising and shifting demand patterns on
the other.
The current growth in Indian steel demand is lagging much behind the expectations. The consumption is
expected to grow between 5-7% annually and capacities to firm up from the existing 120 million tons to nearly
150 million tons in the near future.
With a target to achieve 300 million tons capacity by 2025 and over 125 kg per capita consumption there is a
strong and immediate requirement to focus on improving the demand of steel within the country and also to
explore markets globally.
In the construction sector, Government spending in infrastructure is expected to surge giving boost to the
demand for steel used in construction. Similarly, rising incomes coupled with rapid urbanization will also
contribute to the increasing demand for automobiles and consumer durables.
The upcoming conference on Strengthening Indian Steel Demand would examine the current state of Indian
steel demand and deliberate on the various developments, policy measures, challenges, opportunities and
relevant issues triggering the growth in the coming years.
