It contributes to around 9% of steel demand in India. India is the largest manufacturer of two-wheelers, three wheelers and tractors, the fourth largest producer of passenger vehicles, and the seventh largest in commercial vehicles in the world. © Capital goods: The sector contributes about 15% of steel demand. It has several sub-segments, of which machinery and equipment are the most prominent. © seamed wth XE SeamerSteel for construction The construction sector was estimated to be worth around USD 500 billion in 2018. India will become the world’s third largest construction market by 2025. The infrastructure sector, currently a huge focus area of the government, will drive growth in this sector as well as overall steel demand. The real estate sector is growing at a CAGR of over 4% and the affordable housing and smart cities initiatives will drive growth in this sub-segment. Steel for construction is increasingly becoming a material of choice for making prefabs as well as columns and beams that support buildings. And rapid urbanization , along with the accompanying infrastructure boom, are further driving the demand for construction steel. In 2023, global demand for steel from the construction sector was estimated to be a whopping 930 million metric tons. India’s total construction investment is likely to increase by 50% over the next 5 years. Overall, the infrastructure segment is likely to grow by 9- 10% per year, mainly driven by road projects and urban infrastructure. All these are expected to significantly boost steel demand directly and indirectly. For example, enhanced road construction leads to enhanced demand for steel crash barriers. © seamed wth XE SeamerWhy steel structure is significant? With the development of steel as a construction material, the notion of unsupported towering buildings came to life. In India, industry and infrastructure are the primary drivers of steel structural demand. Steel structures are the most energy, material, and labour efficient. Steel was thrust to the forefront of architecture as a result of this. Structures made of steel are currently recognized for their variety of shapes and architectural expressiveness, which make them more dependable than other types of structures. Steel as a construction material provides for additional floors per overall height of the structure. Steel beams do not need to reach as deep as concrete beams to support the floor plate, hence the structure is more structurally efficient. Steel may also support lighter sections, allowing for the same load-bearing capability per level. This provides for up to 1.5 times more floor area in the same exterior height of the structure. When opposed to concrete, the column dimensions are smaller, allowing for a larger habitable area.

The distinct design of the rebar which features threads and other symmetrical patterns is designed for concrete applications. Alloy Steel- As the name suggests, alloy steel is steel that has been metallurgically combined with other metals like manganese, nickel, molybdenum, chromium, or silicon. This is usually done in order to improve the properties of non-alloy steel by increasing hardiness, tensile strength, malleability, machinability, or corrosion-resistance. « Stainless Steel- Stainless steel can be classified as a subcategory of alloy steel, but with the distinct presence of chromium which is a metal that occurs naturally in the environment. The chromium content is what gives the steel its non- corrosive and non-oxidative properties which make it suitable for a wide range of uses. © Tool steel- Too! steel refers to a type of steel product that is specifically used to fashion different metals and alloys into shape. Tool steel usually has a better strength rating compared to your average steel pipe, in order to make the tool better for any cutting, fabricating, bending, or machining purposes. © Mild Steel [Carbon Steel- Unlike stainless steel, mild steel tends to have lower chromium content. For this reason, they might be more vulnerable to different forms of corrosion and oxidation. © seamed wth XE SeamerTata Steel's contribution in construction Tata Steel offers a range of products and systems that can be segmented according to their primary function — the structural frame (sections, tubes), infrastructure, building solutions (roof and wall products) and internal fit out applications (HVAC).

Durability: One of the most advantageous features of the steel is strength and durability. As compared to other materials, steel has a better capability of withstanding natural calamities such as cyclones and earthquakes. Also, it is known for its durability and with little maintenance it can last more than 30 years. 2. Lightweight: If |-beams made of steel are used for framing are compared with the similar amount of wood used for the same purpose, steel will be lighter than wood. Design of the I-beam makes them structurally sound and lighter than any many materials used for framing. Moreover, it is easy to handle and transport too. It can easily be lifted by crane. This makes it a versatile material in true sense. 3. Cost effective: Steel is a cost-effective material in longer run. Its initial cost may be higher than other building materials, however in longer run it turns out to be a cost-effective choice. Hence, it is widely chosen for construction projects. 4. Fire resistance: Another important feature that steel offers is fire resistance as compared to other traditional materials. Wooden structures are highly combustible and can catch fire quickly. Although with heat steel’s properties may change, additional measures such as chemical treatment, etc. 5. Recyclability: Nowadays there is a greater emphasis on eco-friendly materials which includes recycled and recyclable material. Advantage with steel is that it is a recyclable material and once the structure is dismantled for any reason, steel can be recycled and reused for other purposes. All of these factors make steel structures preferred in construction.
