The Minister of State for Steel, Bhupathiraju Srinivasa Varma has said that steel demand in India will continue to grow in double digits in the coming years, driven by government-led infrastructure projects.

The steel industry contributes significantly to the GDP and plays a major role in achieving India's vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.

He said under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, flagship programs such as National Infrastructure Pipeline, Make in India are significantly boosting the steel demand and driving domestic steel consumption. He said there are some key priorities for the steel industry like decarbonisation and advancing the green steel mission, technology adoption to ensure the sector's long-term resilience and competitiveness, ensuring raw materials security, among others.
