Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that India has become the second-largest steel industry in the world due to the efforts of everyone in the last eight years. Still, it has great potential for expansion. Crude steel production capacity will be doubled to 300 million tonnes per annum in the next 9-10 years to enhance indigenous capabilities. At present, 154 million tonnes of crude steel is produced annually.

The government is working to create the necessary policies and a conducive environment to grow this sector rapidly. The plant is located at Hazira in the Surat district. agency
INS Vikrant An example of domestic industry efficiency
