[SMM Steel] Tata Steel expects India’s steel demand to grow by 7-8% annually over the next 20 years, supported by infrastructure development and industrialization. The company plans to expand its domestic steelmaking capacity to over 40 million tonnes per year and strengthen its presence in the Maharashtra market. More than 60-65% of Tata Steel’s annual capex budget of Rs 20,000 crore will continue to be allocated to India. Meanwhile, the company is enhancing supply chain diversification, scenario planning, and hedging strategies to manage geopolitical risks, while focusing on cost and commercial improvements in Europe amid weak demand and high energy costs.
