036 Why India is neglecting production of Steel?

Why India is neglecting starting new Public Sector Steel Units for production of Steel? Though as per the above 2017 World Steel Production data, India ranks third in World Steel Production, still India is nowhere when compared to China, which is producing more than half of World's Steel.

China still produces Steel Output which is Greater than Rest of the World Countries.

Recent slight downtrends are attributable to Recessionary Tendenicies in the Rest of the World, which affected Chinese Exports.

Nos. 2 and 3 places

Though Japan and INdia appear to be close to one another at No. 2 and 3 places, we have to keep in mind the comparative geographical sizes and population sizes of Japan and India. For its geographical and population size, India should produce far, far more than what Japan produces.

Nos. 3rd and 4th places, India and USA

Though there is a gap of about 20 million tonnes between NO. 3 India, and the NO. 4 U.S.A., we have to keep in mind that U.S.A. wants to rule the world like an Emperor or a Tyrant Dictator. Then, how can it neglect its Steel Industry?

Though the above graph shows that there are no downtrends in output, when compared to the bursting population of this country, the Housing needs for Steel owing to extra-ordinary urbanisation taking place in this country, it is difficult to regard this progress as commensurate or proportionate. Besides, India is importing Steel. It is exporting "Iron Ore". This is a strange paradox.
