A. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

India is the worlds third-largest producer of crude steel (up from eight in 2003) and is expected to become the second-largest producer by 2017. Steel demand has outpaced supply over the last five years. The Indian steel industry is very modern with state-of-the-art steel mills. It has always strived for continuous modernization and up-gradation of older plants and higher energy efficiency levels.

But as per the reports from OECD, the outlook for the steel sector has, unfortunately, weakened further in recent months, reflecting not only cyclical factors such as the slowdown in world economic growth but also growing structural challenges such as excess inflow of imports at predatory prices. With the global business cycle expected to remain subdued over the next few years, resolving the structural factors that are inhibiting the industry from reaching its full potential will remain a key priority going forward.

Your Company operates in an area where a large market exists and offers ample opportunities for growth.
