CII Steel Summit 2022

A vibrant steel industry has historically been the foundation of a nation’s rapid industrial development. Steel is a crucial input to several downstream ecosystems, such as construction, mobility and automotive, or for mechanical engineering companies. A robust and competitive steel sector signifies a strong economic growth of a country.

In the past couple of years the sector has witnessed a noticeable slowdown in growth due to the decline in trade and manufacturing activity across most industrial sectors, higher policy uncertainty, tightening of financial conditions and increased trade tensions among major economies of the world. Global Steel industry is undergoing a subtle shift across dimensions of technology of steel manufacturing, raw material sourcing, finished steel quality, green field capital investments and environmental sustainability.

The Indian steel industry is competitive at global level despite significant cost of funds, cost of logistics, cost of raw material. In order to drive the next level of growth and a first mover advantage in terms of technological transformation, the Indian steel industry needs to invest in research and development, rethink its production processes and deliver substantial emission reductions in order to stay competitive and contribute to climate neutrality.

Against this backdrop, the Confederation of Indian Industry is organizing the Steel Summit 2022 with the theme “Vision 2047: Towards a Globally Competitive & Sustainable Steel Industry” on 22nd December 2022 at Kamal Mahal, ITC Maurya, New Delhi. The Summit aims to have high-value deliberations on the key themes that will help the Indian Steel industry to reach the next level of growth.

RBI’s Resolution Framework for COVID-19 Stress & its Implication for Downstream Steel Sector
COVID 19 pandemic has disrupted operations across the nation and also affected the steel demand in FY 20-21 which is slated to fall by about 15%. In result, the market has encountered challenges on account of labour shortage, hampered logistics movement and poor demand. It has also resulted in significant financial stress on Indian Companies in the Downstream Steel Segment and has potentially impacted long-term viability of borrower companies, as existing debt obligations have become disproportionate to the cash flow generation capabilities.

In order to address the situation, The Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”) has allowed a special one-time dispensation to lenders to restructure the loans of companies & individuals which are stressed specifically due to the pandemic via Circular “Resolution Framework for Covid-19 related stress” on Aug 06, 2020. Under this framework, lenders can restructure the outstanding balance debt and give borrowers more time to pay back with an extension up to 2 years of the residual maturity without classifying the account as NPA.

Date: Thursday, 8th Oct, 04:00 PM (IST), 6:30 PM (Singapore time), 2:30 PM (Dubai time)

Indian TMT Steel Industry
India is a developing country and one of the major economies of the world where the Iron and Steel Industry plays a very crucial role. The steel industry has always been at the forefront of industrial development and forms the backbone of any economy. Important industries such as shipbuilding, railway locomotive and construction as well as heavy and light machinery depend heavily on the availability of the country’s iron and steel resources.

Manufacturing of steel and TMT steel bars is regarded as a major industry in its own right. The Global TMT Steel bar market is expected to grow at the CAGR of more than 8% until 2023. But with COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented toll has taken on the construction industry. The nationwide lockdown has not only put brakes on the ongoing real estate and infrastructure projects, but the allied TMT Steel industry has also suffered a setback. As the lockdown eases, stalled projects both in construction and infrastructure along with capital expenditure plans are coming back on track and demand for steel items are likely to recover lost ground.

To discuss the issues and challenges faced by the TMT steel industry as the nation undergoes in the unlock phase, ASSOCHAM is organizing a Webinar on “Indian TMT Steel Industry” on Wednesday, 30th September 2020 from 3.00 PM – 5.00 PM IST.

Invited Speakers:
- Ms Rasika Chaube, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Steel, Government of India
- Mr V R Sharma, Co-Chair ASSOCHAM National Council on Mines and Minerals & Managing Director, JSPL
- Mr Bidyut Chakraborty, Director – Mining & Metals Advisory, KPMG Advisory Services Private Limited
