He was of the view that India has moved from becoming the net importer of steel to the net exporter of steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Union Minister Jyotiraditya M Scindia on Tuesday exuded confidence that India will become the number one producer of steel in the world in the days to come. India is the world\u2019s second-largest producer of crude steel after China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The minister was speaking during a conference on the Indian minerals and metals industry organised by NMDC and Ficci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was of the view that India has moved from becoming the net importer of steel to the net exporter of steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said India’s per capita consumption of steel has increased from 57.8 kg in 2013-14 to 78 kg. The government intends to achieve 300 million tonnes (MT) of steel production target by 2030, Scindia said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steel across the world is the primary sector which results in economic, capital and infrastructure growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Our target policy and focus also have been to turn India from just another player in the steel sector to becoming a force to reckon with,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
