Wednesday, 7th Nov, 2012

The local transformer industry is totally dependent on the import of this main raw material from the 15 foreign mills. Indian steel producers such as SAIL, JSW, Tata, Mittal group etc should be forced to set up CRGO plant as the demand is about 3 lakh tonnes per year, with lot of scope for export market. In the ongoing XII Plan period, the annual demand for CRGO is likely to increase to 4-5 lakh tonnes.
