With rising demand from sectors such as construction, automotive, and railways, steel producers are positioning themselves for future growth.
This robust capex outlook underlines growing confidence in the sector’s long‑term potential and aligns with broader government initiatives to support industrial expansion and infrastructure build‑out across India.
