Government constitutes two advisory committees to iron out issues in steel industry
The Ministry of Steel has constituted two advisory committees, one each for the integrated steel plants (ISPs) and the secondary steel sector. These committees take cognizance of the issues being faced by the sector and deliberate on the ways and means to mitigate them so as to achieve a targeted crude steel production capacity of 300 million tonne (MT) by 2030-31, as envisaged in the National Steel Policy 2017.
Members of the steel industry, associations, academia, and senior retired government officials are members of the two separate committees formed for integrated steel plants (ISPs) and the secondary steel sector.
The ministry is extensively engaged with all concerned stakeholders and has been holding consultations with them to develop and finalise the contours of 'Vision 2047' for the sector. Several meetings of the advisory committee on ISPs and the secondary sector have been held since their formation.
