STEEL AUTHORITY OF INDIA LIMITED

The Steel Authority of India Ltd. (SAIL) was created in 1973 as the holding
company and supervisory agency for those parts of the Indian iron and steel industry
which are wholly within the public sector. Its main product, by volume, is iron ore, most
of which is exported. It has a total production capacity of 11 million tons of steel per
year, representing more than four-fifths of India's total capacity. It operates its own
collieries, a special steels plant, and a foundry for pipes.The history of the iron and steel
industry in modern India is closely bound up with political and economic developments
since the country achieved independence from Britain in 1947. Most of the productive
units now run by SAIL were built as state ventures with aid and assistance from
industrially-developed countries, and operated by SAIL's predecessor, Hindustan Steel
Ltd. SAIL's main subsidiary, the Indian Iron & Steel Co. Ltd., which is India's largest
single iron and steel company, developed separately as a private company
before nationalization, but it depended on state subsidies from 1951 onwards and had to
function within the terms of the governments planning system.

However, the industry did not spring from nowhere in 1947. Iron had been
produced in India for centuries, while Indian steel was superior in quality to British steel
as late as 1810. With the consolidation of the British raj the indigenous industry declined
and the commercial production of steel did not begin in earnest till 1913, when the Tata
Iron and Steel Company began production at Sakchi, on foundations laid by Jamsetji Tata
whose sons had raised the enormous sum of Rs23 million to set up the company, partly
from family funds but mostly from Bombay merchants, several maharajahs, and other
wealthy Indians who supported the movement for Indian self-sufficiency (Swadeshi) but
did not want to appear openly anti-British. Tata was to dominate the Indian steel industry
until the 1950s. The Indian Iron & Steel Company was set up in West Bengal in 1918 by
the British firm Burn & Co., with plans to become a rival steelmaker. However, steel
prices declined in the early 1920s and the company produced only pig iron until 1937.
The acute depression suffered by the iron and steel industry after World War. As of 31
March 2015, SAIL has 93,352 employees, as compared to 170,368 (as of 31 March
2002). There has been a continuous reduction of headcount over the past few years due to
enhanced productivity and rationalised manpower.
The total requirement of its main raw material, iron ore, is met through its captive mines.
To meet its growing requirement, capacities of existing iron ore mines are being
expanded and new iron ore mines are being developed. In addition, new iron ore deposits
in the Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha and Karnataka are
being explored. Around 24% of its coking coal requirements are met from domestic
sources, the remaining through imports. For improving coking coal security, the company
is also making efforts for development of new coking coal blocks at Tasra and Sitanalla.
SAIL produced 13.9 million tonnes of crude steel by operating at 103% of its installed
capacity, which is an increase of 1% over the previous year. It also generated 710 MW of
electricity during FY2014-15.
