India's National Steel Policy 2047 Targets Capacity Expansion Amid Investment Challenges
India's draft National Steel Policy Vision 2047 aims to increase crude steel capacity from 220 million tonnes in 2026 to 604 million tonnes by 2047 to meet rising demand. Achieving this requires over $400 billion in investment across steel production, mining, and infrastructure. HSBC highlights the need for import protection to sustain cash flows for such capital expenditure, noting the industry's concentration among a few large producers. The policy also acknowledges potential impacts of technology and material substitution and plans periodic reviews of projections.
