<p><strong>Global Scenario</strong></p><ul><li>In 2013 the world crude steel production reached 1606 million tonnes (mt) and showed a growth of 3% over 2012. (Source: World Steel Association or WSA)</li><li>China remained the world’s largest crude steel producer in 2013 (779 mt) followed by Japan (111 mt), the USA (87 mt) and India (81 mt) at the 4th position.</li><li>WSA has projected Indian steel demand to grow by 3.3% in 2014 as compared to global steel use growth of 3% and Chinese growth of 3.1%. For 2015, further recovery is projected for world (3.3%) and India (4.5%) and a slowing down for China (2.7%).</li><li>Per capita finished steel consumption in 2013 is estimated at 225 kg for world and 515 kg for China.</li></ul><p><strong>Domestic Scenario</strong></p><ul><li>The Indian steel industry has entered into a new development stage from 2007-08, riding high on the resurgent economy and rising demand for steel.</li><li>Rapid rise in production has resulted in India becoming the 4th largest producer of crude steel and the largest producer of sponge iron or DRI in the world.</li><li>As per the report of the Working Group on Steel for the 12th Plan, there exist many factors which carry the potential of raising the per capita steel consumption in the country, currently at 59.2 kg. These include among others, an estimated infrastructure investment of nearly a trillion dollars, a projected growth of manufacturing from current 8% to 11-12%, increase in urban population to 600 million by 2030 from the current level of 400 million, emergence of the rural market for steel currently consuming around 10 kg per annum buoyed by projects like Bharat Nirman, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, Rajiv Gandhi Awaas Yojana among others.</li><li>At the time of its release, the National Steel Policy 2005 had envisaged steel production to reach 110 million tonnes by 2019-20. However, based on the assessment of the current ongoing projects, both in greenfield and brownfield, the Working Group on Steel for the 12 th Plan has projected that the crude steel steel capacity in the county is likely to be 140 mt by 2016-17 and has the potential to reach 149 mt if all requirements are adequately met.</li><li>The National Steel Policy 2005 is currently being reviewed keeping in mind the rapid developments in the domestic steel industry (both on the supply and demand sides) as well as the stable growth of the Indian economy since the release of the Policy in 2005.</li></ul><p><strong>Government Initiatives</strong></p><p>Ministry of Steel, Government of India, is considering setting up a strong research and development (R&D) mission/centre, virtual or otherwise, to step up innovative research and technology development in the country's steel industry.<br />The Centre's Steel Development Fund (SDF) and Plan Scheme presently provide financial assistance for R&D in the sector. In order to increase industrial activity, the Government of India, through the Ministry of Steel, has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with all the major steel producing Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) companies such as SAIL and Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd (RINL). These will help to direct the companies to achieve targets and benefit the sector as a whole.<br />India is on the way to becoming a manufacturing location of global status and takes 6th place on the list of the world’s largest machine tool markets. The country’s rising importance means that many users and manufacturers of machine tools focus resources on developing their position in India.<br />Next to the huge market potential, the high level of investment by foreign companies is a good indicator for the subcontinent’s attractiveness not only to global players but also to mid-tier suppliers of sheet metal machines, tools and systems.</p>
