Growth pattern of Steel Plant Refractory Industry in India

Abstract

The growth of Steel Plant Refractories which follows closely the Iron and Steel Industry has been traced for the past one and half decades and the gradual fall in refractory consumption per ton of ingot steel produced in India during the same period has been indicated. Based on the present consumption rate and estimate for the future as well as the projected targets for Iron and Steel Industry up to the end of the fourth five year plan, the refractory requirements and the course of action necessary to meet the demand have been suggested to the needs of the industry has been mentioned briefly.
