Your Company operates in single segment i.e. Steel. In India, the Steel Industry is passing through a challenging phase. The demand for steel is at its lowest. Domestic consumption is severely affected due to lack of activity in infrastructure as well as in the manufacturing space. The biggest challenge facing the domestic steel industry is to have the per capita steel consumption in India at par with the average global standards. The overhang of excess capacity continues to put pressure on the global steel sector, particularly in light of uneven economic growth and weak steel demand Global steel demand forecasts were lowered in the second half of 2014 as the earlier positive momentum faltered.

Despite the above mentioned challenges faced by the steel sector, bright prospects can be expected considering the fact that the governments is taking initiatives on using innovative production techniques for enhancing operational as well as financial performance of the industry as a whole. The new Government at the centre has rekindled hope in the industry. The ambitious infrastructure projects and the thrust in manufacturing through the "Make in India" campaign are steps in the right direction. The plan for smart cities, improved road and rail connectivity by building highways, bridges and dedicated freight and superfast rail corridors have huge potential to spur domestic steel demand.
