India’s steel industry is gearing up for a major capital expenditure boost, with public sector steel companies set to increase outlays by about 44% in the fiscal year 2026‑27. This jump in spending reflects strong industry optimism around future growth prospects, with total investments expected to reach ₹25,125 crore as firms expand capacity, modernize infrastructure, and support long‑term development goals.
Key players like Steel Authority of India Limited and National Mineral Development Corporation are leading the capex surge, signaling confidence in rising domestic demand and a competitive steel market. Industry analysts believe this increased investment will help strengthen production capabilities, improve efficiency, and bolster India’s position as a major steel manufacturer globally.The surge in capital spending comes alongside broader economic policies that aim to reinforce infrastructure development, bolster manufacturing activity, and sustain employment. 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.
