INDIA STEEL INDUSTRY
One of the primary forces behind industrialization has been the use of metals. Steel has traditionally occupied a top spot among metals. Steel production and consumption are frequently seen as measures of a country's economic development because it is both a raw material and an intermediary product. Therefore, it would not be an exaggeration to argue that the steel sector has always been at the forefront of industrial progress and that it is the foundation of any economy. The Indian steel industry is classified into three categories - major producers, main producers and secondary producers.

India is the world’s second-largest producer of crude steel, with an output of 125.32 MT of crude steel and finished steel production of 121.29 MT in FY23. 

India’s steel production is estimated to grow 4-7% to 123-127 MT in FY24. 

The growth in the Indian steel sector has been driven by the domestic availability of raw materials such as iron ore and cost-effective labour. Consequently, the steel sector has been a major contributor to India's manufacturing output. 

The Indian steel industry is modern, with state-of-the-art steel mills. It has always strived for continuous modernisation of older plants and up-gradation to higher energy efficiency levels.

In the past 10–12 years, India's steel sector has expanded significantly. Production has increased by 75% since 2008, while domestic steel demand has increased by almost 80%. The capacity for producing steel has grown concurrently, and the rise has been largely organic. 

In FY23, the production of crude steel and finished steel stood at 125.32 MT and 121.29 MT respectively. In FY24 (until November 2023), the production of crude steel and finished steel stood at 94.01 MT and 88.81 MT respectively. In FY23, crude and finished steel production stood at 125.32 MT and 121.29 MT respectively. 

In July 2023, crude steel production in India stood at 11.52 MT. In July 2023, finished steel production stood at 10.53 MT. In FY24 (until November 2023), the consumption of finished steel stood at 86.97 MT. 

The per-capita consumption of steel stood at 86.7 kgs in FY23. 

In FY22, the production of crude steel and finished steel stood at 133.596 MT and 120.01 MT, respectively. The consumption of finished steel stood at 105.751 MT in FY22. In FY23, the consumption of finished steel stood at 119.17 MT. In April-July 2022, the production of crude steel and finished steel stood at 40.95 MT and 38.55 MT respectively. 

In FY23, exports and imports of finished steel stood at 6.7 MT and 6.02 MT, respectively. In FY22, India exported 11.14 MT of finished steel. In November 2023 exports of finished steel stood at 2.34 lakh metric tonnes (LMT), while imports stood at 7.82 LMT. In FY24 (until November 2023), the exports and imports of finished steel stood at 4.03 MT and 4.25 MT, respectively. 

The annual production of steel is anticipated to exceed 300 million tonnes by 2030-31. By 2030-31, crude steel production is projected to reach 255 million tonnes at 85% capacity utilisation achieving 230 million tonnes of finished steel production, assuming a 10% yield loss or a 90% conversion ratio for the conversion of raw steel to finished steel. With net exports of 24 million tonnes, consumption is expected to reach 206 million tonnes by the years 2030–1931. As a result, it is anticipated that per-person steel consumption will grow to 160 kg.

The steel industry has emerged as a major focus area given the dependence of a diverse range of sectors on its output as India works to become a manufacturing powerhouse through policy initiatives like Make in India. With the industry accounting for about 2% of the nation's GDP, India ranks as the world's second-largest producer of steel and is poised to overtake China as the world's second-largest consumer of steel. Both the industry and the nation's export manufacturing capacity have the potential to help India regain its favourable steel trade balance. 

The National Steel Policy, 2017 envisage 300 million tonnes of production capacity by 2030-31. The per capita consumption of steel has increased from 57.6 kgs to 74.1 kgs during the last five years. The government has a fixed objective of increasing rural consumption of steel from the current 19.6 kg/per capita to 38 kg/per capita by 2030-31. As per Indian Steel Association (ISA), steel demand will grow by 7.2% in 2019-20 and 2020-21. 

Huge scope for growth is offered by India's comparatively low per capita steel consumption and the expected rise in consumption due to increased infrastructure construction and the thriving automobile and railways sectors.

STEEL WIRE INDUSTRY
Established in India in 1920s, the Steel Wire Industry has progressed remarkably and has successfully developed and manufactured various types of high carbon, alloy steel and special steel wires in addition to mild steel wires. The industry has become versatile enough to meet the requirements of numerous consuming sectors. This sophistication has been possible due to continuous and well-planned R & D efforts on part of the manufacturers with patronage of SWMAI. The result has been that the industry is in a position to manufacture and supply steel wires, both in the domestic and the international markets, in accordance with Indian (BIS) and international (ASTM, DIN, JIS, BSS) standards. 

Economic reforms introduced since 1991 aimed at deregulating the productive sectors of the economy and opening the Indian economy to global competition have ushered in far-reaching changes in the growth of the steel wire industry. As a result, the product range of steel wire manufacturers is widening continuously.

Out of the total steel consumed in India wire constitutes only 5%. However, if pace of development picks up the domestic consumption of wires will increase by 2% - 3% to 7% - 8% of the steel consumption. 

In our Country, if we closely look at the wire demand, almost 88% of it is for wires in plain carbon steel grades, 5% would be for Stainless Steel grades and the balance would be for Alloy Steel Wires. 

On further analysis, out of the plain carbon wires almost 75% to 80% of the demand is for black/uncoated wires and the balance 20% to 25% is for wires coated with other base metals e.g. Zinc (Galvanized), Copper, Bronze, and other coating materials.
