India Expected to Remain Among Fastest-Growing Steel Markets in FY27: Ind-Ra
India is projected to remain one of the fastest-growing steel markets globally in fiscal year 2027, driven by strong domestic demand from infrastructure, construction, engineering, and automotive sectors. India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) forecasts high-single-digit growth in steel demand, supported by government infrastructure spending and private corporate investment. The sector's robust balance sheets are expected to sustain investments without significant leverage concerns. However, challenges include global steel oversupply, geopolitical uncertainties, evolving trade barriers, carbon-transition requirements, and export regulations.
