Narendra Modi in a recent speech at Rourkela Steel Plant said, ‘’let’s take over China as the largest Steel producer of the world.” It means expanding 10 times over where we stand today. This also means the consumption through government and other development projects has to grow many folds. Experts advocate let production follow consumption and not the other way. Hence, the government has a major role to play in us being the world’s largest steel producer; and also ensure we do not end up in a spot like China.
Over the last quarter or so, things have started moving into a certain direction for the industry. Apart from allowing resumption of mining in Odisha, Karnataka & Goa; coal blocks auction for captive use is one of the major steps the NDA government has taken to promote raw material security; as this becomes a major factor to decide a long term investment or an expansion in steel.
There are two kinds of players in the Iron & Steel sector of India in the present time; ones who are looking to dilute activities because of prolonged issues and there is another set that is planning expansion & takeovers. A veteran once told me – Business is all about the Vision.
Mr Sunil Kumar Agarwal, Director of Kamdhenu Ispat is one such visionary business leader who is currently spearheading expansion into manufacturing & branding of Color Coated Sheets under its pioneer brand – ‘Kamdhenu’ which is already into TMT, Paints, Plywood, PVC Pipes & other products. In the two decades of existence, this multi faceted company has brought in a shift in how steel is sold. Mr Agarwal today has one of India’s largest networks of point of sales where putting up a new product only needs a shelf space.
