India Steel Market is anticipated to grow at a steady pace in the forecast period 2024-2028 & is growing at a very healthy CAGR in the upcoming years. Steel is an alloy made of iron and other elements that is strong, hard, and grey or bluish-grey in color. It often comes in flat and long steel varieties. In a blast furnace, raw materials such as coal, iron ore, and lime are melted and then impurities are removed to manufacture the steel.
Utensils, electrical cable trays, machine crews, and hinges are frequently made of steel. It promotes malleability, tensile strength, toughness, design flexibility, and anti-corrosion qualities, in addition to extending shelf life.
Steel can be easily created and molded in numerous shapes, as opposed to iron, to provide improved shape with a broad variety of dimensions and exceptional purity. Steel, therefore, has a wide range of uses in many other industries, including the automotive, manufacturing, and construction sectors.
Government Initiatives in the Infrastructure Sector
India has a huge requirement for infrastructure. To speed up the construction of India’s infrastructure, the Indian government has authorized Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) to provide international investors access to the nation’s real estate market.

Therefore, in the approaching years, the Indian market presents a 19.65 billion USD potential. With the help of the Global Housing Technologies Challenge, the government wants to update the technology used in the construction sector.
The Smart-Communities initiative, which aims to create communities of the greatest calibre and sustainability, has been allocated USD 29.2 billion by the government. With investments of USD 16.5 billion, 75% of the projects were finished by June 2020. The national government has allocated USD 16.5 million to the HRIDAY initiative, which promotes the growth of old cities. Among other government initiatives, AMRUT and the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), a national housing programme, are anticipated to have a significant positive impact on the infrastructure and building sectors. Furthermore, Nirmala Sitharaman, the Union Finance Minister, stated in her budget speech for 2023–2024 that the Central Government intended to create an Urban Infrastructure Development Fund with an annual budget of USD 1221.78 million that would be used to develop infrastructure in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, all across the nation. The National Capital Region Transport Corporation, which is carrying out the Delhi-Meerut fast transit project, is one of the projects for which the government aims to finance USD 2831.48 million in 2023–2024. The CAGR should remain strong. This should have a lot of favorable consequences for the Indian steel industry.
Current Scenario
- Robust Demand
o It is predicted that India would consume more finished steel, going from 133.596 MT in 2022 to 230 MT by 2030–31.
o India produced 9.8 MT of crude steel in October 2021, placing it as the second-largest producer in the world.
- Policy Support
o In October 2021, the cabinet has approved the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for speciality steel in India and to be implemented over fiscal year 2023-2024 to Fiscal year 2029-2030.
o The Union government allocated USD 6.2 million to the Ministry of Steel, Under the Union Budget 2022-23.
- Competitive Advantage
o India produced 9.5 MT of crude steel in September 2021, placing it as the second-largest producer in the world.
o India is competitive in the global economy because of easy access to cheap labor and the presence of massive iron ore deposits.
o India is home to the fifth-highest reserves of iron ore in the world.
The steel industry in India has grown tremendously during the last 10 to 12 years. While domestic steel demand has surged by roughly 80% since 2008, production has climbed by 75%. Parallel to this growth, the ability to produce steel has also increased.
In 2021, there were 133.596 MT and 120.01 MT, respectively, of finished and crude steel produced. In 2021, 105.751 MT of finished steel were used. India’s finished steel consumption in April 2022 was 9.072 MT. The output of crude steel and finished steel in April to July 2022 was 40.95 MT and 38.55 MT, respectively.
By 2030–2031, it’s expected that there will be more than 300 million tons of steel produced, annually. Assuming a 10% yield loss or a 90% conversion ratio for the conversion of raw steel to finished steel, it is predicted that by 2021-2030., crude steel output would reach 255 million tons at 85% capacity utilization, producing 230 million tons of finished steel. By the years 1931-2030, consumption is anticipated to reach 206 million tons with net exports of 24 million tons. Thus, the consumption of steel will increase to 160 kg per person in the upcoming years.
Recent Developments
