Global crude steel production : 2009-1220 Mn. Mt ; 2008-1326 Mn. Mt- decline of 8 %
China- the largest crude steel producer in the world - production 567.8 Mn. Mt, a growth of 13.5 % over 2008.
The global recession and sever meltdown in the late 2007 -shifting the fortunes of global steel from the advanced to emerging markets.

Production in certain terms. ( All figures in Mn. Mt )
Difference between global and domestic price evens out over a quarter in free market scenario.Low priced stock requirement and non-prime material are also imported and then segregated and sold as prime materials and this further exert pressure on price.Owning to excess availabilities and increase in raw material price, the margins of steel producers are increasingly under pressure for over one year.
HOLISTIC STEEL PROGNOSIS
INDIAN STEEL
Current Domestic steel consumption was at 56.5 Mn. Mt increased by 7.8 per cent, which is likely to maintain its growth momentum.
Present per capita consumption ( Year 2008) : India : 47 kg World :190 kg Developed Countries : 400 kg
In 2008-09, per capita steel consumption in urban areas was 145 Kg, rural areas-only 3 Kg.
70% of Indian population in rural areas- increased steel usage for rural housing, panchayat hall, rural bridges, water and storage tanks etc
The sectors like manufacturing,construction,consumer durables, capital goods, intermediate goods coupled with infrastructure spending to fuel growth in steel sector.

Allocations For Infra In The Union Budget
India is largely sufficient in raw materials for Iron and Steel Industry
25 billion tonnes of iron ore reserves - the fifth largest reserve base in the world
253 billion tonnes, (96 billion tonnes proven reserves) Coal- 4th largest proven coal reserves in the world
World’s
2nd largest Mn reserves (240 million tonnes). 3rd largest Cr reserves (57 million tonnes). 4th largest bauxite reserves (2.4 billion tonnes).
India is relatively under-explored in terms of mineral prospecting.
MINERAL RESOURCES- CATALYST TO STEEL GROWTH
GROWTH DRIVERS
India -currently the 5th largest producer of crude steel in the world and is expected to become the 2nd largest producer of crude steel in the world by 2015-16.
The Iron and Steel Industry :
Around 2 % of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Around 6.2%- its weight in IIP. Around 3.64 %- its weight in WPI
GDP growth pegged at 8.5 % in the current year and higher in the subsequent year.
The growth rate in steel consumption in India would be highest in the world surpassing China in 2011-12.

Largest producers of Sponge Iron-21 Million Tonne 1/3 of total steel is by DRI route. Limited reserves of coking coal, resulting in unpredictable prices. Sponge iron uses non-coking coal, and iron ore fines - palletized
form or directly Difficult availability and high cost of scrap. DRI is more consistent in composition low tramp elements and
environment friendly. Uniform size of sponge iron enhance productivity and support
usage of low grade scrap. Average IF furnaces uses 60 % sponge iron as metallics.
SPONGE IRON IN THE GROWTH OF STEEL INDUSTRY
PROSPECTS FOR INDIAN STEEL INDUSTRY
2nd Largest Coal based Sponge Iron ManufactureForward integration by setting up its integrated steel manufacturing
facility of 1.5 Mn Tonne at Raigarh.Upon completion ( March’11) , through BF/DRI-EAF route will add high- quality long and flat steel :
Plate : 6,00,000 tonne p.aHR Coil : 2,50,000 tonne p.aQST Rebars : 5,00,000 tonne p.aBlooms & Rounds : 1,50,000 tonne p.a
New capacity addition : 1.5 MT ( Orissa), : 1.5 MT ( Jhk)
MIEL- DOING ITS BIT IN DRI PRODUCTION GROWTH
PROSPECTS FOR INDIAN STEEL INDUSTRY
Limited and with multiple use.
Non-willingness of owners to sell.
Local issues- Social & Political.
Compensation packages - amicably with fair market price & employment.
Overlapping responsibilities between State and Central Govt.
KEY CHALLENGES & ROAD AHEAD
LAND
Resources available with some of the poorest states.
Mineral resources exploitation through Inclusive & Sustainable
Approach to improve overall well-being. Faster grant of prospecting lease-mining lease. Limited availability of Coking Coal Indian Coal with high ash has limitations in terms of
CO2 emissions. Development of processes using non coking coal /
natural gas. Increase usage of Iron Ore Fines-to reduce wastages Increase palletisation and beneficiation to augment
production and productivity.
KEY CHALLENGES & ROAD AHEAD
MINERALS & MINING
Selection of plant site-effect on neighborhood, ecology and communication facilities.
Space for water treatment & recycling, solid waste disposal.
Pollution control measures-Pollution can not be completely eliminated- only levels can be reduced.
Upto 15% cost of capital equipment is being incurred on pollution control devices.
Obtain clearances by State Govt. & other Govt. agencies (viz. pollution control board, forest deptts. etc) and Central Govt.
KEY CHALLENGES & ROAD AHEAD
ENVIRONMENT ISSUES
Augment capacity and efficiency of rail, ports, roads to match capacity development.
Steel plants to augment their infrastructure to ensure full utilization of assets of logistics providers.
Explore environment-friendly transportation alternatives ( Viz Waterways, Slurry through pipes etc).
Build infrastructure - to meet transport requirement for bulky equipment and finished goods.
Co-ordination between producers, logistic providers and government concerning policies and execution
KEY CHALLENGES & ROAD AHEAD
INFRASTRUCTURE
Adequate availability of power, water.
Low Level of R&D in steel in India.
India mostly in seismological zone-Additional costs, earthquake resistant structures.
Rising cost of inputs materials –may not be compensated by rise in steel prices.
As a consequence, lower growth in production / fresh capacity than demand growth may cause severe market distortions.
Rising inflation
Better governance, delivery system & effective implementation.
KEY CHALLENGES & ROAD AHEAD
OTHERS
Delays and costs involved in land acquisition, Raw Material linkages, Statutory clearances and shortfalls in development of infrastructure could adversely affect project viability.
This ,in turn, inhibit creation of additional capacities.
For the business to survive, The production process and systems have to be efficient. Only energy-efficient process can produce finished material to
tightly controlled specification at lowest cost . Imperative to address environment issues.
Steel Industry in India can survive- if it is globally competitive in terms of costs and quality, which can only happen if the challenges are suitably addressed.
