MARKET TRENDS
The India structural steel market is benefiting from the accelerated adoption of pre-engineered building systems, which reduce construction timelines and costs through factory-built components and standardized designs. In September 2025, Interarch expanded its PEB manufacturing capacity by commissioning Phase-2 of its Uttarakhand facility, supporting growing demand especially in industrial and commercial sectors. The commercial segment is dominant, aided by rising business expansion and adoption of green building standards favoring energy-efficient designs.
Digital transformation is reshaping manufacturing with AI and Industry 4.0 technologies improving operational efficiency and quality standards. JSW Steel's AI-powered predictive maintenance platform deployed across 10 plants and 2,900 critical assets helped avoid over 25,000 hours of downtime. Technologies like digital twins and machine learning optimize production schedules and reduce unplanned downtime, driving enhanced output and sustainability.
Sustainability drives material innovation as environmental consciousness grows. The steel industry's inherent recyclability supports circular economy principles. The government launched a ₹5,000 crore Green Steel Mission in September 2025, incentivizing clean steel adoption and promoting low-carbon production. Producers develop high-strength, corrosion-resistant, and seismic-compliant steel grades. Advanced coatings extend component lifespans and reduce maintenance needs across applications.
MARKET GROWTH FACTORS
Accelerated government infrastructure investment under the National Infrastructure Pipeline is a major growth driver. The government allocated ₹11.21 lakh crore for capital expenditure in the 2025-26 budget, focusing on highways, ports, urban development, metros, and airports. Large infrastructure projects require high load-bearing structural steel, boosting steady demand driven by flagship schemes including Smart Cities Mission and affordable housing initiatives.
Rising adoption of pre-engineered buildings (PEBs) promotes construction efficiency with faster timelines and lower costs. Tiger Steel Engineering reported pre-engineered building demand approaching 1 million tonnes annually in August 2025, driven by infrastructure expansion in e-commerce, logistics, metro systems, airports, and industrial facilities. The commercial segment dominates due to rising consumer spending and rapid business growth in emerging cities.
Rapid urbanization and smart city initiatives are fueling market growth. Smart Cities Mission developments drive modern steel-based infrastructure construction. The Government approved construction of 2.35 lakh houses under PMAY-Urban 2.0 in June 2025 to boost urban residential steel-frame demand. Expansion of organized retail, healthcare, hospitality, and educational infrastructure further strengthens steel demand across metropolitan and emerging urban centers.
