India's per capita steel consumption is at an inflection point and is likely to increase faster in coming years. With Government's push on developing infra, robust GDP growth and stabilising population, we will definitely cross 160 by 2030.
India’s rising per capita Finished Steel Consumption is a symbol of growing aspirations and stronger infrastructure. A nation building more, consuming better, and moving forward with strength. #11YearsOfSteelStrength #11YearsOfInfraRevolution #11YearsOfDigitalIndia
