✅ India reaches 200 MTPA steel capacity, solidifying 2nd global rank
✅ Boosts infrastructure, exports, and self-reliance in core sectors
✅ Strategic goal of 300 MTPA by 2030 gains momentum
India has achieved a significant milestone by reaching 200 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of crude steel capacity, solidifying its position as the world’s second-largest steel producer. This development aligns with the government’s target to scale capacity to 300 MTPA by 2030 under the National Steel Policy and supports the country’s $5-trillion economy ambition.
The surge is driven by public-private investment, robust infrastructure development, and domestic consumption. Key contributors include expansions by JSW Steel, Tata Steel, SAIL, and NMDC Steel, as well as a rise in greenfield projects and modernization of brownfield plants.
Industry analysts say this marks a new era in Indian steelmaking, offering opportunities for employment, exports, and industrial growth. However, challenges like raw material costs, global demand fluctuations, and trade protectionism still persist.
