In simple terms

The government of India’s newly released draft National Steel Policy ‘Vision 2047’ targets 531 million tonnes of crude steel production, 772 million tonnes of iron ore demand and 236 million tonnes of coking coal demand by 2047.

Why it matters for the Gulf

  1. India's draft steel plan targets 531 million tonnes by 2047.
  2. Higher steel output could lift iron ore and coking coal imports.
  3. Gulf dry bulk shipping demand might rise if Indian imports grow.
