India was the world’s second-largest steel producer with production standing at 106.5 MT in 2018. The

growth in the Indian steel sector has been driven by domestic availability of raw materials such as iron ore

and cost-effective labour. Consequently, the steel sector has been a major contributor to India’s

manufacturing output. India’s steel production capacity has expanded to 137.975 million tones in FY19. As

per Indian Steel Association (ISA), steel demand will grow by over 7 per cent in both 2019-20 and 2020-21 in

the Country. The Indian steel industry is very modern with state-of-the-art steel mills. It has always strived

for continuous modernization and up-gradation of older plants and higher energy efficiency levels.

Indian steel industries are classified into three categories such as major producers, main producers and

secondary producers. In FY19, India produced 131.57 million tonnes (MT) and 106.56 MT of gross finished

steel and crude steel, respectively. India’s finished steel consumption stood at 66.46 MT in FY20 (till

November’19). India’s steel production is expected to increase from 106.56 MT in FY19 to 128.6 MT by 2021.

Steel industry and its associated mining and metallurgy sectors have seen a number of major investments

and developments in the recent past. The Government has launched the National Steel Policy 2017 that aims

Tata Affirmative Action Programme helped Swati in

learning new career skills My name is Swati Kirti from Bhagalpur, Bihar. After completing my

graduation degree, I was very keen to start working as I wanted to support

my family financially. One day I was notified about TCS Free Employability

Training Program by the Model Career Centre, Bhagalpur through SMS. Post

counselling at the Career Centre, I also enrolled myself in the same program.

This training-cum-employability programme largely helped me to groom my

personality and improved my communication as well as interview skills. I am

pleased to share that I have successfully secured a job of “Trainee Associate”

in TCS, Kolkata. I am very thankful to the National Career Service Scheme and Model Career

Centre, Bhagalpur for connecting me with the opportunity I have been

waiting for!!
