Following the success of the previous conference in the North, the next edition is set to take place in the South. These conferences aim to unite industry stakeholders on a common platform to address critical challenges and explore opportunities for unlocking the untapped potential across the steel value chain. Through insightful discussions led by industry leaders, FUTURE.STEEL is committed to driving collaboration and innovation, shaping the future of the steel industry.

About the Conference: Future.Steel – South

The southern region of India has emerged as a key steel hub, with an annual production capacity of 35 MNT and an output of 27 MNT in FY’24, operating at 77% capacity utilisation. This region, comprising Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana, plays a pivotal role in the country’s steel ecosystem.

Balanced Production Mix: 50% of steel output comes from Blast Furnace technology, while the remaining 50% relies on Induction Furnace technology.

Major Scrap Consumer & Importer: The southern states account for 25–30% of India's imported scrap consumption, with 1.9 MNT imported in CY’24 (out of 8.5 MNT nationwide).

Future Growth: Steel production capacity in the region is set to expand to 46 MNT by FY’30, further strengthening its industrial footprint.

The event will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and experts to discuss efficient raw material management, with a special focus on ferrous scrap; outlook on the automotive sector and growth in the infrastructure and construction segments; and technological innovations driving steel production. Sustainability and the transition towards green steel, along with opportunities for expansion and investment in the southern region, will also be key topics.

Join FUTURE.STEEL to navigate the evolving landscape of the Indian steel industry and explore strategies to unlock its full potential.

Be a part of the transformation!
