New Delhi: Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas addressed a webinar on new opportunities for steel in construction and infrastructure. The webinar is organized by Indian Steel Association and attended by the Shri Faggan Singh Kulaste and captains & experts of the Indian steel industry. 

Further, there was a discussion on the steel sector's role in the making of Aatmanirbhar Bharat. "The Covid-19 pandemic threw challenges our way, but India is coming out of it. Our scientific fervor has been a major facilitator in ensuring seamless functioning in the post-Covid era, including driving our vaccination rollout, one of the largest drives in the world," said Shri Pradhan. 

PM Modi's target to make India a $5 trillion economy can only be achieved by the infrastructure development, focusing on creating a modern best-in-class infrastructure for a 21st century India. Whether it is roads, railways, housing, or oil and gas, infrastructure is being strengthened in every sector at an unprecedented pace. 

The Rs 20-lakh-crore Aatmanirbhar Bharat package stresses boosting infrastructure, generating new opportunities for our steel sector.

"Our capacity in vaccine manufacture & production is another such example of India’s ingenuity. By leveraging our huge domestic market and diverse export potential, our steel sector too is perfectly poised to become more vibrant, globally competitive, and export-centric."

Nurturing our domestic market will help our steel industry. Steel can be a catalyst for the well-being of people and a major driver of employment generation by making it a material of choice. Driving mass consumption of steel will bring greater strength to society, he further said.
