Indian Steel Industry – Overview

India’s steel sector is the backbone of the country’s manufacturing and infrastructure ecosystem. In FY 2024, finished steel consumption reached 136 Mt, up from 100 Mt in FY 2020, and is projected to climb to approximately 220 Mt by FY 2030 (≈8–10 % CAGR). The industry is highly cyclical, tracking GDP growth; however, the post-pandemic recovery has left a steel-to-GDP multiplier of approximately 1.7–1.9, well above the pre-COVID level of 1.1–1.2.

Table: Key Segments

Segment  Core Products / Applications  Typical End users
Long steel  TMT reinforcement bars, wire rods, structural sections, railway rails, hollow section pipes  Building & construction, infrastructure (roads, bridges, railways), housing, agricultural structures
Flat steel  Hot rolled (HR) & cold rolled (CR) coils/sheets, galvanised plain (GP) sheets, colour coated (GC) sheets, coated/colour roofing sheets  Automotive, appliances, packaging, roofing & cladding, industrial equipment
Specialty flat  Galvanised Corrugated (GC) sheets, Colour roofing sheets, Electrical steel, High-strength/wear-resistant grades  Rural warehousing, residential roofing, power equipment, aerospace & defence
Fabrication & Engineering  Pre-engineered Buildings (PEB), steel girders, and fabricated structural components.  Commercial & industrial construction, railway bridges, logistics hubs
Ancillary / Downstream  PVC pipes, roll-formed GP sheets, agrico tools, doors & windows  Water distribution, irrigation, rural housing, and consumer goods
TMT Reinforcement Bars (sub-segment of long steel)  Thermo Mechanically Treated (TMT) bars – the dominant reinforcement product  Residential & commercial construction, government housing schemes

Source: RHP

Long‑steel drives the bulk of volume (≈55 % of total finished‑steel demand in FY 2024) and is closely linked to infrastructure spending.  Flat‑steel, especially coated and colour‑roofing variants, is gaining share as housing‑and‑warehouse construction intensifies in eastern states such as Bihar.  Fabrication (PEB & girders) and PVC‑pipe markets are still nascent but exhibit the highest projected growth rates because they are directly tied to government-backed logistics and irrigation programmes.

Table: Growth‑Rate Summary

Segment  Past CAGR (FY 2018 FY 2024)  Future CAGR† (FY 2024 FY 2030/28)  Comment
Long steel (overall)  8.1 % (FY 2018, FY 2023)  8.5 9.5 % (FY 2024 FY 2028)  Growth powered by continued road & rail projects (Bharatmala, Gati Shakti) and a rebound in private housing.
Flat steel (overall)  9.8 % (FY 2018, FY 2023)  7.5 8.5 % (FY 2024 FY 2028)  Flat steel demand is shifting toward higher value coated products; a modest slowdown as the base expands.
TMT reinforcement bars  10.8 % (FY 2019, FY 2024)  8.5 9.5 % (FY 2024 FY 2028)  Strong post-pandemic construction rebound; future growth anchored to PM Awas Yojana & rural housing.
Galvanised Corrugated (GC) sheets  10.8 % (FY 2018, FY 2023)  6 7 % (FY 2024 FY 2028)  Recent dip ( 13 % FY 24) as customers shift to colour roofing; long run growth steadies with warehouse building schemes.
Galvanised Plain (GP) sheets  9.8 % (FY 2018, FY 2023)  4.5 5.5 % (FY 2024 FY 2028)  GP sheets are price sensitive; growth is mainly driven by stronger demand in the construction, agriculture, and automobile sectors in Bihar.
Colour roofing sheets  14 15 % (FY 2018 FY 2023)  16.5 17.5 % (FY 2024 FY 2028)  Aesthetic preference and better corrosion resistance drive a faster-than-inflation expansion, especially in Bihar’s residential market.
Pre Engineered Buildings (PEB)  – (commercial launch FY 2022)  18 19 % (FY 2024 FY 2028)  Rapid uptake in warehousing & cold storage driven by agricultural logistics incentives.
Steel girders  – (commercial launch FY 2023)  25 27 % (FY 2024 FY 2028)  High-value railway bridge & overpass contracts under the RDSO-approved programme.
PVC pipes  – (small-scale start FY 2018)  5 6 % (FY 2024, FY 2028)  Growth linked to rural irrigation (PM KSY) and urban water distribution projects.
Overall finished steel demand  ≈7 % (FY 2018 FY 2024)  8 10 %* (FY 2024 FY 2030)  The sector’s GDP multiplier remains above 1.6, reflecting strong structural investment momentum.

Key takeaways:

  • Infrastructure & housing are the twin engines – they sustain long steel growth and keep the steel to GDP multiplier elevated.
  • Flat steel is undergoing a product mix shift – coated and colour roofing sheets are outgrowing plain GP/HR sheets, which explains the modest slowdown in the flat steel aggregate CAGR.
  • Fabrication-centric businesses (PEB, girders) are the fastest growing – they benefit from targeted government schemes (e.g., PM Gati Shakti, Bharatmala, PM KSY) and from the RDSO approval that gives a quasi-monopoly in railway bridge supply.
  • Regional dynamics matter – Bihar’s steel consumption grew at ≈8.3 % CAGR (FY 2018 FY 2023) and, despite a brief dip in FY 24, is expected to rise 8.5- 9.5 % through FY 2028, driven by state-level infrastructure programmes (PM Gati Shakti, Gram Sadak Yojana, Bharatmala).
  • These insights set the stage for the company’s strategic focus on expanding its long steel distribution network, deepening its flat steel (especially colour roofing) portfolio, and scaling up fabrication capacity to capture the high-growth PEB and steel girder markets.

Financial Profile

Robust Revenue Growth:

BMW Ventures Limited’s growth is driven by several operational levers. The company has deepened its dealer network, with over 1,250 dealers across 29 of Bihar’s 38 districts, where exclusive dealers account for 73 % of TMT bar sales. It has captured significant market share in high-margin steel products, including GP sheets (≈55 % of Bihar’s 0.027 MTPA market), TMT reinforcement bars (≈19 % of 1.08 MTPA market), and GC sheets (≈40–43 % of 0.045 MTPA market). Infrastructure-driven demand from government schemes such as PM Gati Shakti and highway and railway projects has boosted construction activity, particularly for TMT bars and hot rolled sheets.

Product diversification, including roll forming of GP/GC/HR/CR sheets, PVC pipe manufacturing (≈800 MT/yr), and PEB/steel girder fabrication, has added higher realisation streams. Additionally, one-off adjustments, such as restatement of PAT for FY 19–FY 21 after CSR-related provisions, are already reflected in the revenue trends. No material acquisitions were disclosed in the prospectus, indicating that growth is primarily organic, powered by these operational levers.

Stable Margins:

Key take‑aways

BMW Ventures Limited reported a 138 % growth in PAT from FY 19 to FY 22, driven by higher sales volumes, improved price realisations—particularly in the GP sheet and HR sheet segments—and tighter cost control. Margins expanded modestly, with PAT margin rising from 1.1 % to a peak of 2.0 % in FY 22, before settling at 1.5 % in FY 24; the slight contraction in FY 24 reflects a minor revenue dip and a temporary increase in logistics costs, not a structural weakness. EBITDA margin remained stable within a 3.0–3.9 % band, highlighting consistent operating efficiency despite rapid dealer network expansion. The operating profit margin consistently stayed above 3 % (peaking at 3.9 % in FY 22), while the peer Shiv Aum Steels showed more fluctuation, underscoring BMW Ventures’ predictable cost structure.
