About the Event

Conference on Raw Material for Steel & Power, will be held on September 12 at Le Meridien Hotel, New Delhi.

Iron ore, coal and logistics for the steel & power sector are like oxygen, water and shelter for human life. They have the same importance for survival & sustenance of the industries and the humans who ultimately share a common platform called “life”.

The life of a steel mill is dependent on a balanced intake of iron ore, coal and water through a complex interrelated network of vain forming the logistical backbone. Being a mechanical process, the steel mill’s final product will be crude steel but the cost of production and the quality would be directly dependent on the raw materials fed to the furnaces.

Raw material has to be of an accurate mix and the cost has to appropriate to run a mammoth mill in the most efficient and competitive manner. Improper Quantity, Quality and Cost of raw materials can hurt the health of the mill and lead to massive overruns. Hence, a systematic vigil is required to keep the furnances battle ready at all times.

Indian steel & power industry is still in its nascent stage when seen from the raw material perspective. The industry is still either import dependent or has domestic production issues plauging the long term strategic development & sustenance. In order to achieve the targeted capacity of 300 mt-pa as envisioned under the latest National Steel Policy, a lot of emphasis has to be put on the raw materials, the sooner the better.

Several iron ore mining leases will expire by 2020, mines which were successfully bought in auction haven’t yet started production, coal washeries are yet to produce efficient grades and logistics hurdles are yet unresolved.

This Conference on Raw Materials for Steel & Power sector has been planned with an aim to address such issues and to discuss and deliberate on the possible resolutions which may help the industry in its future growth.

This Summit, in partnership with the leading agencies of the Government of India is likely to attract over 300+ attendees.
