2. The Indian iron and steel industry is nearly a century old, with Tata Iron &
Steel Co. as the first integrated steel plant to be set up in 1907.
According to the data released by Department of Industrial Policy and
Promotion (DIPP), the Indian metallurgical industries attracted Foreign
Direct Investments (FDI) to the tune of US $10.33 billion in the period
April 2000–March 2017.
Indian was the world’s third-largest steel producer in 2016.
Real consumption of steel during FY16 was estimated at 81.25 million
tonnes.
Consumption of real steel has grew at CAGR of 5.76% during FY08-FY16.
The total finished steel production in FY17 stood at 83.10 MT while 6.10
million tonnes of finished steel was imported into India.
As of March 2017, the capacity utilization of steel producers is set to
increase with strong export demand and signs of revival in domestic sales.
Companies like JSW and Essar Steel have experienced a sharp increase in
steel manufacturing in the last 2 months

6. PEST ANALYSIS-
POLITICAL FACTOR-
The government investments in infrastructure such as rail, highways, dams,
power plants and ports are critical prime movers for steel demand.
Environmental norms imposed by the government from time to time have a
significant impact, estimated to be around 15% of the project cost.
Government of India has approved the National Steel Policy (NSP) 2017,
NSP 2017 targets 300 million tonnes (MT) steel-making capacity and 160 kg
per capita steel consumption by 2030.
The Ministry of Steel is facilitating setting up of an industry driven Steel
Research and Technology Mission of India (SRTMI) in association with the
public and private sector at an initial corpus of Rs 200 crore (US$ 30
million).
7. ECONOMIC FACTOR
The steel sector contributes over 2 per cent to the GDP of the nation and
provides 20 lakh jobs in the country.
During April-January 2017, crude steel production in India grew by 7 per cent
YoY and stood at 39.98 MT.
The Government of India has allowed 100 per cent foreign direct investment
(FDI) in the steel sector.
SOCIAL FACTOR-
Steel Industry (company) shall constantly strive to improve the quality of life of
the communities it serves through excellence in all facets of its activities.
In the company like Tata Steel, Importance will be given to continuous training
for promoting safety consciousness among all employees
Companies like SAIL & Tata Steel believe that the loyalty and commitment of its
employees depends upon the quality of life they are offered at work and at
home.
8. TECHNOLOGY FACTOR-
Steel companies will be encouraged to have strategic joint ventures for
production and development of technologically more advanced products.
Ministry will encourage the research institutes within the country to develop
less resource intensive and less energy intensive steelmaking technologies as
well as new products.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTOR-
Set sound environmental objectives and targets, and integrate a process of
review, as essential elements of corporate management.
Install, maintain and operate facilities to comply with applicable
Environmental Laws, statutes and other regulations.
Conserve natural resources and energy by constantly seeking to reduce
consumption and wastage.
Minimize process waste, and promote the recovery and recycling of materials
in order to control pollution.
9. LEGAL FACTOR-
Government is introducing the various rules and regulations of this
particular industry.
The government is about to pay more attention in the health policies of the
employees working in the steel industry.
Special health incentives and rules are introduced in the steel industry.

11. Automotives
• The automotives
industry is forecasted
to grow in size by US$
74 billion in 2015 to
US$ 260-300 billion by
2020.
• In 2017, Indian
automotives sector is
estimated to be 3rd
largest automotives
market, by volume
Capital good
• The capital goods
sector accounts for 11%
of steel consumption
and expected to
increase 14/15 per cent
by 2025-26 and market
share
• Corporate India’s capex
is expected to grow and
generate greater
demand for steel
Infrastructure
• The infrastructure
sector accounts for 9
per cent of steel
consumption and
