The production of domestic stainless steel will reach the 3.6-million tonne (MT) mark at the end of 2017. As per President of Indian Stainless Steel Development Association (ISSDA) KK Pahuja, citing data collected by the International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF), said that if the output crosses 3.6 MT, then it will be about 9% more than last year’s production. The production of stainless steel in the country at the end of the calendar year 2016 was 3.3 MT.
Pahuja enlightened that the industry is currently growing at a rate of 8-9% year-on-year and the growth is in response to the rising demand for stainless steel, mainly from sectors such as auto, roads and highways, housing and the like.
India is the second-largest producer of stainless steel after it overtook Japan in 2016. China remains the leader.
