Indian Steel Economy

India Sector wise Steel Demand

India’s GDP is projected to grow by 7% in FY25, driven by the government's ambitious goal of becoming a $5 trillion economy. This growth is supported by a massive INR 111 trillion infrastructure pipeline, which is expected to fuel strong demand for metals, particularly steel. Over the past decade, steel consumption in India has grown by an impressive 62%, and this upward trajectory is set to continue as infrastructure development accelerates.

The infrastructure and construction sectors remain the largest consumers of steel, accounting for 61% of the demand, followed by general engineering (11%) and automotive (10%). As India’s infrastructure and industrial growth intensify, the country’s steel production is expected to reach 210 million tonnes (mnt) by FY30, a substantial increase from the current 144 mnt in FY24. 

India Sector wise Steel Demand

This rise in production reflects the country’s growing industrial and economic momentum, driven by both domestic demand and its expanding infrastructure needs. With steel playing a critical role in supporting the nation’s development, India’s steel industry is poised for significant expansion in the coming years.

India’s Steel Industry: Powering Economic Growth

India’s GDP is set to grow at a robust 7% CAGR in FY25, fueled by the government’s vision of becoming a $5 trillion economy. Anchoring this ambition is a massive INR 111 trillion infrastructure pipeline, driving unprecedented demand for metals, especially steel.

Steel consumption in India has surged by 62% over the past decade, with infrastructure and construction sectors leading the way, accounting for 60% of total demand, followed by general engineering (12%) and automobiles (11%). This growth trajectory is expected to continue, propelling steel production from 144 million tonnes (mnt) in FY24 to 210 mnt by FY30. As India’s infrastructure and industrial landscape expand, steel remains the backbone of the nation’s progress, reflecting its rising industrial and economic momentum. With accelerating domestic demand and infrastructure development, India’s steel industry is poised for remarkable growth in the years ahead.
