The interest of foreign investors in the Indian steel industry

Indian companies producing steel products and other semi-finished products of various grades of metals, by cutting products and special purpose to the most common modifications, newly interested in foreign investors. Known in the specialized areas of the holding called FII, consisting of a large number of the investment profile of the companies began to show increased activity in this compartment. In the field of view of the holding companies were the type of Tata Steel and SAIL. According to the analytical studies in the last quarter of 2013. The most significant enterprises in the steel industry noted an increase in the equity of the holding company in its assets. Some experts link the similar fact with the increased demand for semi-finished steel. After all, in recent months the need to strip these products has been steadily rising up.

Despite the overall decrease in the cost of steel in the context of the world, the Indian industrialists managed to minimize losses and to continue to keep the price of metal products on almost the same level. After all, the basic rate of its metallurgy, India has made in the automotive, construction and consumer goods. The development of these sectors allows to develop and strengthen the potential of the Indian steel.
