印度钢铁行业报告(2018-2022年)
The Indian steel industry contributes around 2% of the country GDP and employs some 500,000 people
directly and about 2mn indirectly. The Indian government sees the steel sector as strategically
important and as a foundation for rapid industrial development. According to the Ministry of Steel,
the steel industry has an output multiplier effect of nearly 1.4 on GDP, and an employment multiplier
factor of 6.8. The sector has taken advantage of the country’s abundance of iron ore reserves, its
cheap but qualified labour force, and government support policies. As a result, India is close to
becoming the second-largest crude steel producer after China, outpacing Japan. In FY2017, India
became a net exporter of iron and steel, in both volume and value terms, as local companies ramped
up production.
