Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region. The growth in Indian steel demand lagged much behind expectations. In the next two years, India s steel consumption is forecast to grow annually by about 5% 6%. Indian steel capacity is also expected to rise from 99 million tonnes (mt) in 2013 to about 125mt in 2016, registering a CAGR of 8.8%. The Government of India has floated a target to produce 300mt by Increase of iron ore production i.e raw material for steel production at its plant will contribute to increase in steel production by about 0.60 MTPA (approx.) Source: Indian Steel ;Strategy to Ambition Demand supply Gap India is currently the fourth-largest producer of steel after China, Japan and the US. Rising domestic demand by sectors such as infrastructure, real estate and automobiles has put the Indian steel industry on the world map. Growth in the private sector is expected to be boosted by new policies on Make in India, import of foreign technology and foreign direct investment (FDI). The Government has mooted a perspective plan to boost domestic steel capacity to 300mt per annum by In tandem, with a strong economic outlook and plans to expand steel production, it is likely that India will be on a fasttrack growth path in steel production to be the second-largest steel producer within a few years. Indian steel companies have made investments of US$35.4 billion over the last seven years and after inordinate delays on account of regulatory constraints, the worst in the Indian steel sector appears to be over. It is foreseen that the rate of project execution and commissioning pickup, aided by new policy measures and a supportive regulatory environment. Comparing India s growth to China in terms of per capita steel consumption and GDP per capita PPP, Indian steel production could pick up significantly in the near future. Steel demand in India is showing signs of rebounding after the slowdown of the last two years. Cyclicality might be at work, but key demand trends are looking encouraging: Automotive sales growth has rebounded strongly in Inflation has moderated, giving comfort that interest rate cuts are around the corner. Industrial production and GDP are recovering
