After a resounding success and enthusiastic response to Global Steel 2010, Gujarat NRE and The Economic Times present Global Steel 2011 from 16 to 18 January 2010 in New Delhi. Global Steel 2010 in Goa had participation of over 200 delegates from India and 15 countries. The event, supported by Ministry of Steel, Government of India and Austrade deliberated on Indian steel industry’s response to the changing world order as the world recovered from the crisis. Team Orissa, was the Partner State for the event and presented before the steel captains the opportunity the State provide in the steel arena.
Global Steel 2010 deliberated on the road map for India to achieve the steel vision of achieving 300 million tonnes of steel by 2020. The analysts were unanimous in their belief that India can cross 100 MT mark by 2015 and 200 MT by 2020. The best of minds across the world dwelled on various topics to work towards a common goal – making steel sinews for the Nation on a growth trajectory.
The pundits are unequivocal to the fact that this decade belongs to India. Indian growth would be led by increased consumption and expenditure in infrastructure, housing, coupled with the growing middle class. The economic activity would surely propel a huge demand of steel in India. The challenge is to have both ends meet: increasing production in line with the growing demand.
Global Steel 2011 is being organized to address the challenges before the Indian Steel industry. The conference would analyse the Indian Steel mills’ proposed expansion plans and discover how supporting logistics and infrastructure networks are preparing themselves. One of the prime focus this year would be raw material security. Increasing price of raw materials like coking coal and iron ore and scarce supply world wide has become one of the key concerns of steel makers around the world. Global Steel 2011 would analyse the global trend, also the effect of China which is a dominant force in the steel spectrum, supply and demand dynamics, to chart a clear strategy for India’s steel vision. International experts and captains of Indian and foreign steel industry would debate and deliberate in paving the boulevard of “The Great Indian Steel Dream”. The conference would also have government, industry and thinkers look for a solution to the problems faced in setting up Greenfield projects in the country along with a sustainable development plan.
