Overview of the industry:

Presently, India is the second largest crude steel producer country in the world after China with a total production of 111.254 million tons of finished steel. The modern steel production in India began in 1870 when Bengal Iron Works set up the first blast furnace of India at Kulti. TISCO (Tata Iron and Steel Company) was set up in 1907 by Dorabji Tata, which later operated the biggest steel plant in the British era. Steel industry has been mainly divided into three categories, i.e: Main producers, other major producers, and secondary producers. There are several big prominent companies present in the steel industry like SAIL (Steel Authority of India Limited), TISCO (Tata Iron and Steel Industry Company), RINL (Rashtriya Ispat Nigam), ESSAR, etc. The steel industry in India is expected to increase to 128.6 MT by the year 2021.
