Ministry of Steel has decided to formulate a new National Steel Policy to replace the existing National Steel Policy, 2005. The process of formulation of new National Steel Policy is already on and the roadmap for research and development (R&D) in steel sector is being created to encourage investments. An inter-ministerial group has been set up to deal with the land acquisition issues of steel makers.
The new National Steel Policy will formulate a new set of projections and policy guidelines for facilitating steel sector of the country. The Policy is proposed to address various issues for facilitating steel sector like attracting investments in steel sector, technology and R&D initiatives, manpower requirement, raw material supply, infrastructure requirement, land acquisition, water etc.
The proposed new steel policy envisages a 10 percent growth in output to meet the country's projected demand of 200 million tonnes by 2020. The new policy will focus on removing infrastructure bottlenecks, improving technology and will focus on achieving a 10 percent growth.
At present, the Indian steel sector is growing at a compounded growth of five per cent. Steel production is around 72 million tonnes, broadly in line with the domestic demand. However, the demand is set to accelerate and touch 200 million tonnes by 2020. The Indian steel industry is at the cusp of a sustained high-growth phase. While low per capita consumption provides a huge market potential, the industry is faced with challenges such as resource scarcity, delay in clearances and land acquisition among others.
