Industry Outlook

Steel has been one of the most valuable metals for industrial developments globally. While the global steel demand is experiencing a slight downfall from 2023, especially in China which accounts for the highest consumption of steel, India is expected to maintain robust growth. 

Since 2021, India has been the leading country in the demand for steel and the domestic steel demand has grown drastically over 80% from 2008. By 2031, India, the world's second-largest producer of crude steel, is expected to surpass global consumption of 206 MT.

With the rapid developments in Infrastructure and urbanization, the steel demand is expected to increase more. In 2024, completed steel production was 138.5 MT, while crude steel production was 143.6 MT.

By 2030–31, it is anticipated that finished steel consumption, which was 135.90 MT in 2024, will rise to 255 MT. The annual production of steel is also expected to surpass 300MT by 2031.

The Indian government has also taken many initiatives to support the steel industry like the National Steel Policy 2017, allowing foreign direct investment (FDI) in the steel sector etc.

Many large investments are being undertaken by big industries in the Indian steel sector like Tata Steel, JSW Steel etc towards increasing their annual capacity and production in India. The global demand may have slightly declined but is expected to moderately improve in 2025 onwards.
