Tata Steel CEO T V Narendran has urged caution amid a surge in steel imports in India, which has risen 38% to 8.319 million tonnes in the 2023-24 financial year. He said the situation would be a "pity if the situation continues in the long run" and called for the government to address unfair imports. Steel consumption is expected to grow 8-10% in the 2024-25 fiscal year. India's crude steel production increased 14% in FY24.
