ASSOCHAM is organizing the 6th India Steel Summit - To facilitate faster growth on 11th September 2012 at Hotel The Lalit, Barakhamba Road in New Delhi.
Indian Iron and Steel industry contributes significantly to overall growth and development of the economy. As per estimate, the industry today directly contributes to 2% of India’s GDP and its weightage in the official index of Industrial Production (IPP) is 6.2%.
The industry has been able to carve out a niche for itself globally. From a country with a production of one million tones at the time of independence, it has now become the world’s 4th largest producer of crude steel preceded only by China, Japan and USA. Due to infrastructure creation and urbanization emerging as key growth enabler, the Indian economy is witnessing rising import of steel in recent time.
For India’s GDP to grow at seven per cent, steel sector has to grow at eight to ten per cent per year. However, in the past three years, growth in this sector was just five per cent. With the observed market trend the National Steel Policy 2012 is being put in place to facilitate rapid growth of the domestic steel sector by ensuring faster capacity addition.
At the same time India is committed to reduce GHG Emission Intensity of its GDP by 20-25% by 2020 over 2005 level, through pursuits of proactive policies. There is a need to transform the technological face of the Indian steel industry to achieve international benchmarks as a long term strategy.
In order to discuss the above and related issues impacting the growth of steel sector, ASSOCHAM is organizing the 6th India Steel Summit on 11th September 2012 at Hotel The Lailt in New Delhi.
