The other day his statement was made by Chaudhary Birender Singh. Minister of metallurgical industry of India announced intentions for the period 2018−2019.

Consumer the volume of steel products is expected to grow to 158 kg per person. Now he is 61 kg. Such policies are aimed at raising the level of steel in India. High rates can make it more competitive.
