| In depth analysis of steel projects in India - 21 Nov, 2008 | ||
|
What is important to take note of now, however, is that the Indian steel industry suddenly finds itself in a completely different context. In the world of steel, every player remains familiar with the cyclical nature of the growth. Therefore, the slowdown should not have surprised any in the industry. But, none really expected this to have happened so fast. The steel super cycle seems to have been ended abruptly or really?” “India’s steel dream looks to be fading away” This is how we started our last year’s steel report. With the added uncertainty, the industry’s plans are in total disarray. There are no questions on the opportunities this country has offered in steel. From all points of view, these have been strong and credible ones.” But therecent great years in steel have supported strong capacity growth in the steel industry in India. The more competitive brownfield expansion projects have started delivering results and more are expected to come. What has been extraordinarily interesting to note in the past few years is the growth of very small to mid size capacities. The Indian steel industry is in a peculiar fix. The capacity could not be raised immediately because of their own strategic problems. The limited capacity in the country and higher global prices provided to them all the opportunities to make sufficient money themselves and raise their credibility in the global capital market. However, an impulsive government, given the high political value attached to inflation in India, intervened in the steel business more than it needed to do. Despite the fact that the capacity expansions in India have been of recent origin, a huge chunk of the existing capacity is technologically outdated or is uniquely backward. It will be premature to write India’s steel ambition off despite all the bad news surrounding it currently.” “Indian Steel Projects: Ground Reality, Strategic Issues and Opportunities” from Steel and Natural Resources Strategy Research analyses the context each significant producer is placed in and identifies their core problems.
