About the Stainless Steel Summit 2025

India’s stainless steel industry is experiencing significant growth, projected to expand from USD 17,452.5 million in 2024 to USD 31,905.2 million by 2034, at a CAGR of 6.2 per cent. With Western India expected to account for 43.0 per cent of national consumption and austenitic stainless steel maintaining a dominant 72.7 per cent market share, the sector is primed for transformation. As demand rises across construction, infrastructure, transportation, energy, and consumer applications, industries have a unique opportunity to leverage stainless steel for durability, efficiency, and sustainability in their operations.

The Stainless Steel Summit 2025 is strategically designed to help businesses capitalise on this growth. The three-day conference will provide industry leaders, policymakers, and manufacturers with actionable insights, networking opportunities, and strategic discussions on how stainless steel can drive industrial progress, enhance sustainability, and deliberate new market opportunities. Through expert panels, case studies, and technology showcases, attendees will gain the knowledge needed to steer industry trends and maximise the potential of stainless steel in their respective sectors.
