India, the world’s second-largest crude steel producer, delivered 144.3 million metric tonnes in 2023-24, overtaking Japan in 2019. Deregulated in 1991-1992, the industry grew from Tata Iron and Steel Company’s (TISCO) 1907 establishment, which by 1939 ran the British Empire’s largest steel plant. With over 50 integrated steel plants, primarily in eastern states like Odisha, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh, India’s capacity reached 154 million tonnes by March 2023. New plants, such as Rungta Mines in Odisha, Lloyds Konsari in Maharashtra, and Radha TMT in Telangana, drive FY 2024-2025 output to an estimated 151.1 million tonnes. The National Steel Policy targets 300 million tonnes by 2030, with Mission Purvodaya positioning eastern India as a steel hub. The construction sector, consuming over 50% of global steel, relies on TMT bars, structural steel, and pipes, with sustainability efforts like hydrogen-based steelmaking shaping the future. Below, we highlight top steel manufacturers specializing in construction-grade steel.
