Economics of the Indian Steel Industry by Susmita Dasgupta Pdf

Steel is the foundational material of modern civilization and constitutes the core of industry, and yet, it is overproduced across the world. This supply glut is reducing margins and turning steel into a sunset industry. Steel consumes as much as four times the amount of raw materials as its produced volume, and the sheer bulk of the steel makes it costly to transport. Because of this, countries prefer to make their own rather than to source it across land and sea. The Indian steel industry has grown from being the tenth largest steel producer in the world in 1991 to emerging as the second largest, after China. This book aims to reveal, through data and the use of simple economic concepts, the mistakes that abound in the discourses surrounding the steel industry. Its main objective is to dispel the many myths that are perpetuated by policy makers and the industry in order to benefit a small coterie of large firms, and discusses how through such favours the Indian steel industry is set to lose out in terms of margins, products and growth in technology. It covers the unique role of the Indian state in the development of the broad base of steel production, and observes the change in the direction in policy, which reverses the economic equality of the past and promotes collusion among oligopolies leading to overexpansion in capacities. Economics of the Indian Steel Industry will be of interest to students of industrial economics and corporate strategy, as well as financial managers and policy makers.

Steel and Progress by Elio E Pdf

In this preface, we emphasize the pivotal role of the Indian steel industry in driving India's economic growth. We highlight steel as an essential product for the development of any modern economy, often considered the backbone of human civilization. The per capita steel consumption serves as a crucial indicator of a country's socioeconomic development and living standards. India, a key player on the global steel map, has continually advanced its steel sector. It has established state-of-the-art steel mills, continuously modernized older plants, enhanced energy efficiency, and integrated with global raw material sources. Strong linkages between large, technologically complex industries and steel products exist, contributing to both material flow and income generation. The survival of robust steel industries characterizes major industrial economies in India, significantly shaping their early progress. The liberalization of the industrial sector marked a turning point for the Indian steel industry, which swiftly adopted the latest technologies, including the installation of new Greenfield plants. This led to increased output and higher positioning within the value chain, resulting in a rise in exports and greater integration with the global economy. However, this expansion also led to regional diffusion, affecting domestic supply, particularly in the western region. Considering India's status as a developing nation, the steel industry's significance cannot be overstated. The demand for steel is extensive, from constructing bridges and railways to manufacturing rolling stock, ships, vessels, and various machinery. Critical sectors like railway locomotive production, shipbuilding, and light machine construction depend on a stable steel supply. Consequently, steel consumption remains a key indicator of our country's economic development. In traditional sectors, steel holds a monopoly, while specialized steels find applications in engineering industries such as power generation, petrochemicals, and fertilizers due to increased production.

"TRANSFORMATION OF THE STEEL SECTOR" by Chinmay Nimgoankar Pdf

Steel is one of the world’s most essential materials, fundamental to every aspect of our life. Steel is vital for infrastructure and transport while tinplated steel helps preserve food. Steel is of strategic importance to a rapidly industrializing nation like India. For the last three years, the growth of India’s steel sector has been gladdening. It is a matter of pride that in 2015, India overtook the United States to become the 3rd largest steel producer in the world and is poised to become the second largest steel producer shortly. In Stainless Steel, in the year 2016, India has already become the second largest producer. The world steel industry has been facing a crisis on account of an unprecedented steel supply glut for the past few years. I am happy to note that the Indian Steel Industry, with targeted and timely pro-active trade remedial measures, has manifested positive growth.

The Competitive Status of the U.S. Steel Industry by National Research Council,National Academy of Engineering,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Commission on Engineering and Technical Systems,Steel Panel Committee on Technology and International Economic and Trade Issues of the Office of the Foreign Secretary Pdf

This volume examines the influences of technology and international trade policies on the troubled U.S. steel industry. Does leadership in technology guarantee competitive advantage in industrial markets? Or do the costs of production and the lack of investment capital offset technological gains for the domestic steel industry? Which international trade policies can help this industry, and which may be harming it? With these and other questions in view, The Competitive Status of the U.S. Steel Industry estimates global trends in steel trade, discusses patterns of production and consumption, and analyzes the possible effects of alternative governmental policies on this critically important industry.

The International Steel Industry by Ray Hudson,David Sadler Pdf

Originally published in 1989. The international steel industry suffered a major decline after the onset of world recession in 1973, perhaps suffering more plant closures and job losses than any other sector. This book analyses the decline, surveying the various factors which have contributed to it, such as changing production strategies, changes in demand and world trade and changing regional production trends. It goes on to examine the impact of decline on steel-making communities, considering the various local, national and international initiatives to assist the affected areas and the way these initiatives have been devised and implemented. The authors conclude that none of these policies has satisfactorily resolved the crisis in the old steel producing areas and that a major crisis in these areas continues. Finally they discuss the social and political options open to these localities for the future.
