‘Steel’ing the Show

The World Steel Association projects the global demand for steel to post a modest growth of 1.2 per cent in 2025 after a 0.9 per cent decline in 2024. Contrast this with India’s 8 per cent projected growth in steel demand this year, driven by infrastructure investments, and it comes as no surprise that steel imports are rising.
