By 2030 India is on the verge of emerging as the world’s third-largest economy.
The country, which is the world’s second-largest steel-producing, is set to achieve significant growth by 2030, supported by strong economic development.
According to Iran Steel, India’s steel demand is expected to increase mainly by the construction and infrastructure sectors, which will account for 60-65% of the total steel demand. Factors such as urbanization, housing projects, and large infrastructure projects will increase demand.
As India uses nearly 80-85% of its production capacity, the country’s crude steel production is expected to increase from 144 million tons in the current fiscal year to 210 million tons by 2030. As a result, India’s iron ore production and demand will both increase by more than 50%.
