- With a steel demand of roughly 2.5 mn t pa, Nepal has been focusing a lot on reconstruction. The country’s construction sector is said to contribute 10-11% in its GDP.
- Nepal imports nearly 1-1.5 mn t semi-finished steel and 1 mn t finished steel annually (both flats and longs) with India being the largest supplier with a share of ~95%.
- With upcoming infrastructure and power transmission & distribution projects and the recent budget by the Government of Nepal (GoN) targets to reduce reliance on imports by 20% in the next fiscal year steel demand in the country is likely to gain momentum.
- The government’s policy of encouraging the iron rod industry to produce billets within the country itself has lead to a total of NPR 8.44 billion is being invested in a new steel industry as well as in the few mills that are currently operational.
- About ~32 iron rod and steel units are operational in the country. However, only around 20% of these have been producing billets in the country using sponge iron and scrap.
- The total annual capacity of the existing industry is about 3.5-4.0 million tonnes per annum and the annual steel demand is about 2-2.5 million tonnes.
- According to Nepal Cement Producers’ Association, the Himalayan nation has the potential of exporting cement worth NRs.150 billion.
- Subsidy of 8 per cent in cash to companies exporting cement using Nepali raw materials.
