Restrictions in external trade, both in import <strong>and</strong> export <strong>of</strong> steel have been removed <strong>and</strong> import duty on raw materials<br />
<strong>and</strong> finished steel has been reduced, gradually. Certain other policy measures taken by the government over the<br />
past decade like reduction in import duty <strong>of</strong> capital goods, convertibility <strong>of</strong> rupee on trade account, permission to<br />
mobilise resources from overseas financial markets, <strong>and</strong> rationalisation <strong>of</strong> tax structures have benefited the <strong>India</strong>n<br />
steel industry.<br />
Trends in Production <strong>and</strong> Consumption<br />
The total production <strong>of</strong> finished carbon steel in <strong>India</strong> was 38.40 Mn tonnes in 2004-05 as compared to 14.33 Mn<br />
tonnes in 1991-92 – indicating an increase <strong>of</strong> 7.29% CAGR. The high share <strong>of</strong> secondary sector in finished steel<br />
production is largely due to substantial supplies <strong>of</strong> semis, the basic feed material procured from the main producers<br />
to convert into whichever shapes by rolling.<br />

Consumption <strong>of</strong> finished steel has increased from 14.84 Mn tonnes in 1991-92 to 33.54 Mn tonnes in 2004-05,<br />
which translated into a CAGR <strong>of</strong> 5.95%. However, this increase in consumption has not been uniform <strong>and</strong> has<br />
fluctuated from a high <strong>of</strong> 21.8% to low <strong>of</strong> 1.2 % reflecting uneven growth in steel dem<strong>and</strong>.<br />
