Eyeing the soaring consumer demand, most of the automobile companies are setting up their manufacturing units in India. These companies have always generated a demand for premium quality steel to produce world-class automobiles.
In the current scenario, these companies have to import steel for critical components due to their non-availability in India. Looking at the highly cost-competitive Indian market importing such steel will be uneconomical, therefore, these companies are anticipating the Indian steel manufacturers to supply quality steel for critical components.
