The “List of Profitable Business Ideas in the Production of Iron and Steel Products” underscores the substantial growth and potential within the steel industry. Iron and steel products, including ferrous metals, alloy steel, cold rolling, foundry products, and hot rolling processes, are essential to modern economies. The Indian steel industry is experiencing robust growth, propelled by increasing domestic demand and ambitious government targets to boost steel output to 300 MT by 2030-31. With advanced steel mills, ongoing modernization, and improvements in energy efficiency, India is firmly establishing its position on the global steel map. The industry produces a variety of products such as stainless steel, carbon steel, mild steel, and forge products, which are vital for the construction, automotive, and engineering sectors. Furthermore, the growing research and development in stainless steel manufacturing are expected to accelerate market growth, meeting the demand for durable and corrosion-resistant materials across various applications.
The steel ministry has set an ambitious target of taking the country's steel output to 300 MT by 2030-31 from 100 MT, at present, and is taking various measures to boost the sector. The Indian steel industry has entered into a new development stage, post de-regulation, riding high on the resurgent economy and rising demand for steel.
Rapid rise in production has resulted in India becoming the 3rd largest producer of crude steel in 2015 as well as in 2016. The country was the largest producer of sponge iron or DRI in the world during the period 2003-2015 and emerged as the 2nd largest global producer of DRI in 2016 (after Iran). India is also the 3rd largest finished steel consumer in the world and maintained this status in 2016.
India’s steel exports grew 150.0 per cent year-on-year to 0.75 MT in February 2017. Total consumption of finished steel grew by 3.4 per cent year-on-year to 76.22 MT during April 2016-February 2017.

Steel is crucial to the development of any modern economy and is considered to be the backbone of human civilization. The level of per capita consumption of steel is treated as an important index of the level of socio-economic development and living standards of the people in any country.
Steel is a product of a large and technologically complex industry having strong forward and backward linkages and all major industrial economies have been largely shaped by the strength of their steel industries.
India’s economic growth is dependent on the growth of the Indian steel Industry. Steel continues to have a stronghold in traditional sectors such as construction, Housing and Roads, special steels are increasingly being used in engineering industries such as power generation, petrochemicals and fertilizers. India occupies a central position on the global steel map, with state-of-the-art steel mills, acquisition of global scale capacities by players, continuous modernization and up gradation of older plants, improving energy efficiency and backward integration with global raw material sources.
The global stainless steel market size was valued at USD 85.45 billion in 2016 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.2% over the forecast period. Increasing R&D in stainless steel manufacturing to improve durability, corrosion resistance, and strength is expected to propel growth. Growing demand from end-use industries is also estimated to boost the market over the forecast period.
The global stainless steel market is categorized into four major applications: heavy industry, automotive and transportation, building and construction, and consumer goods. Demand from heavy industries accounted for a revenue share of 26.3% in 2016. The stainless steel industry is expected to witness growth due to requirement of materials with high corrosion resistance from the marine and shipbuilding sector.
