A gradual recovery from the pandemic at the start of CY 2022 shows a steady growth but it was disrupted by the Russia- Ukraine War. Steady rise inflation resulted in the sluggish demand and there was disruption in regular activities. There was price volatility of raw material and supply disruption due to raw material constraints which impacted the profitability of the company.

5. FUTURE PROSPECTS:

In FY 2022-23,the Indian Economy is estimated to grown by 7.2% Though the economy stayed on a steady growth path following a gradual recovery from the pandemic but it was disrupted by the outbreak of the Russia- Ukraine conflict, steadily rising inflation and delayed normalisation of supply chains.

The government significantly increased capital expenditure on infrastructure projects, which boosted domestic demand and investment sentiment. Despite facing multiple headwinds, key economic indicators pointed towards a broad-based recovery.

Overall, the key steel consuming sectors are expected to perform well in FY2023-24 supported by a rise in infrastructure spend by the Government. High CAPEX allocation in key steel consuming sectors such as railways, national highways and housing is expected to drive steel consumption.
