Talking about the steel sector in India, CP Singh said, "Taking forward the vision of our Prime Minister, the Government is committed to facilitating accelerated growth in the steel sector, with Make-in-India fructifying into Make-in-Steel alongside Building the New India with Steel as the material of choice."

He also highlighted that the recently launched Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for the speciality steel sector will be a cornerstone in propelling the Indian steel sector towards the target of 300 MTPA production capacity by 2030, with special emphasis on value-added steel. It is going to be a major step in the direction of Steel Vision 2047.

The delegation held meetings with steel companies from the UAE including Dana Steel, Sharaf Group and DP World.
