INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

India is the world's 2nd largest producer of crude steel, producing 140 million tonnes (MT) in the calendar year 2023.

The country is also the largest producer of Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) or Sponge Iron, with a production of 49 MT.

India is the 2nd largest consumer of finished steel in the world, consuming 133 MT in 2023, second only to China, which consumed 895 MT.

The steel sector contributes around 2% of the country's GDP and employs approximately 2.5 million people in steel and allied sectors.

India is the 4th largest producer of iron ore and has the fifth-highest reserves of iron ore globally.

The National Steel Policy 2017 envisages the creation of 300 MT of steel capacity in the country by 2030-31, up from the existing capacity of 164 MT.

A Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme has been approved for specialty steel, with a financial outlay of Rs. 6,322 crore (US$ 858.50 million) over a five-year period.

The Union Cabinet approved the PLI scheme for specialty steel, which is expected to attract investments worth approximately Rs. 400 billion (US$ 5.37 billion) and expand specialty steel capacity from 18 MT in FY21 to 42 MT in FY27.

It is estimated that at a capacity level of 300 MT, India will have to spend about Rs. 3,450 crores annually for the import of proprietary and other spares.

Foreign investments of nearly US$ 40 billion have been committed to the steel sector.

According to data released by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), between April 2000 and December 2023, Indian metallurgical industries attracted Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows of US$ 17.46 billion.

Policies allowing 100% FDI (via the automatic route) in the steel industry have significantly boosted investments.
