Steel, owing to its high tensile strength, low cost and inherent uses, is the backbone of any modern civilization and is very important for a growing economy like India. The government of India is focused on a steady manufacturing climate, accelerating the manufacturing potential in the country by leaps & bounds. In-line with ‘Make-in-India’ initiative, our steel companies like ESSAR Steel, FSNL, HSCL, JPC, JSL, JSPL, JSW, KIOCL, MECON, MOIL, MSTC, NMDC, RINL, SAIL and TATA Steel, have emphasized on innovation and R&D to developed new products empowering industries to manufacture indigenously, state of the art products like INS Vikrant, India’s first indigenous air craft career, bullet proof steel, nuclear power plants or space exploration missions and become widely recognized as purveyor of high-end, value-added steel.
Digitalization has emerged as catalysts for rapid economic growth, ultimately transforming the nation. Indian Steel Industry which is highly automated has introduced digital technologies across processes such as operations research, product development, software development, robotics & mechanical engineering, mining, pelletization, raw material handling, coke oven, sinter plant, blast furnace, long product mill, continuous casting, SMS/BOF, flat product mill, supply chain management, procurement, retail and online sales of steel.
The steel industry is constantly researching on new technologies to enhance the world’s strongest and versatile material; currently there are over 2000 grades of steel globally of which 1500 grades are high grade steel. Iron and steel are used widely in the construction of roads, railways, energy, packaging, appliances, transport, infrastructure, buildings & large modern structures, such as stadiums and skyscrapers, bridges, and airports, are supported by a steel skeleton. Other common applications include shipbuilding, pipelines, mining, offshore construction, aerospace, white goods (e.g. washing machines), heavy equipment such as bulldozers, office furniture, steel wool, tools, and armour in the form of personal vests or vehicle armour, Cutlery, Rulers, Surgical instruments, Watches, Guns, Rail passenger vehicles, IT, Tablets, Electronics, Trash Cans etc.
