Management Outlook

_x000D_

_x000D_
• The company is optimistic about numerous growth opportunities for the business. These include rising demand for domestic steel despite the challenging macro environment. This is largely driven by the government’s focused initiatives on infrastructure development.
_x000D_
• By 2030-2031, per capita steel consumption is expected to increase to 160 kg as per the Government's National Steel Policy. 
_x000D_
• The government of India has withdrawn the duty on the import of scrap, which will benefit EAF steel manufacturers.
_x000D_
• Graphite India believes that countries worldwide are moving towards their carbon neutrality goals, and therefore, corporations are becoming environment-conscious and adopting environment-friendly manufacturing processes. With this backdrop, steel manufacturers are steadily moving towards the EAF process, which is expected to create sustainable demand for graphite electrodes in the medium to long term.
