Metals & Mining

India's metals sector is dominated by steel (Tata Steel, JSW Steel), aluminium (Hindalco, NALCO), and zinc (Hindustan Zinc, a Vedanta subsidiary). Metals are highly cyclical — profitability tracks global commodity prices, China's steel output, and domestic infrastructure demand. India's steel consumption is expected to nearly double to 200 MTPA by 2030, driven by construction, railways, and manufacturing capex.

Key Investment Themes

  • India's steel consumption doubling by 2030 on infra buildout
  • China's green steel regulations reducing exports — benefiting Indian prices
  • Aluminium demand boom from EVs and renewable energy infrastructure
  • Copper demand surge from EV charging infra and power cables
  • Scrap-based steel (EAF) growth as green steel mandate increases

Key Risks to Watch

  • China dumping steel and aluminium at below-cost prices
  • Global recession reducing industrial metals demand
  • Coal and iron ore input cost spikes compressing margins
  • Currency depreciation increasing imported raw material costs
