Background to the report
The Indian steel industry is poised for massive expansion. Dramatic consumption growth over the last few years has stimulated enormous expansion plan, facilitated by unexploited iron ore raw material base. India is now being hailed as the new China, where crude steel production soared from less than 100 million tones in 1995 to over 400 million tones in 2006.
Indian crude steel output at just 38 million tones in 2005 is starting from a much lower base, and the economic steel- consuming structure of China is substantially different from India. Nevertheless, India has recently established a long-term goal of raising crude steel production to 100 million tonnes per annum by 2020.
