Global impact
• Global overcapacity
• Development in alternate fuel source like shale gas,
CBM, etc. and availability of natural gas
• Tougher regulations for cleaner environment, passenger
safety in all means of transportations, and sustainability
in developed countries will follow suit in India
• Entry of international players will likely to press on quality
issues
• Industry will largely depends on Foreign Investors
• Indication of availability of cheaper scrap from China will
shift gears of Indian steel industry

Govt. Support and Policies
• Indian market – a ray of hope for India and as well as world not
only in steel sector but in most of the sectors from cosmetics
to fighter plane.
• 70 % population in rural with meagre 16 kg per capita
consumption is huge potential
• Make in India initiatives and over 1 trillion USD infrastructure
projects will not only create demand for steel but will also
facilitate the sector in growth
• Flexible market players with flexible products – catering to real
Indianised needs
