Metalogic PMS successfully hosted its 8th Annual Conference today at Le Meridien, New Delhi, bringing together industry stalwarts, policymakers, and key stakeholders to deliberate on the theme ‘Make in Steel, Make in Bharat’. The event focused on the pivotal role of steel in fuelling India’s economic growth and strengthening its position as a global manufacturing hub.

Industry experts deliberate on the future, and role of Indian steel at Metalogic PMS’ 8th annual conference

Steel plays a vital role in construction, infrastructure, automotive, and defence, together accounting for over 90% of India’s steel consumption. As these sectors are rapidly evolving, demanding advanced grades of steel, innovation in steelmaking is becoming crucial to enabling this transformation. The demand from the smaller and emerging sectors requiring smaller or specific order quantities has added a new market dimension for the steel industry. Steel as a commodity is now emerging as a “just in time” product. Apart from the opportunities in steel making, the conference also deliberated on the cost concerns of the steel makers, geo-political trade distortions, raw material availability matters and practical ways to further enhance steel consumption.

The event was graced by the esteemed presence of prominent industry leaders – Mr. Abhyuday Jindal, Managing Director, Jindal Stainless; Ms. Sminu Jindal, Managing Director, Jindal SAW Ltd.; Mr. Vinod Gupta, ED Commercial, SAIL; Mr. V.R. Sharma, Vice Chairman of Naveen Jindal Group; and Ms. Preiti Patel, Chief Strategy & Growth Officer, TATA Projects.

While addressing the conference Managing Director, Jindal Stainless, Abhyuday Jindal, said, “The future of our industry will continue to be defined by two uncompromising pillars-quality and sustainability-led growth. We must prioritise quality and mainstream sustainable solutions to build infrastructure that is stronger, safer, and lasts longer. The journey will continue to demand collaboration across the value chain, so that the entire ecosystem works towards this common goal.”

Ms. Sminu Jindal, MD, Jindal SAW, and Founder-Chairperson of Svayam highlighted, “To make India more self-reliant, it will be extremely important for us to invest in steel and different loads of steel to be made in India, so that we are less dependent on its import. Equipment is currently very low; despite this equipment manufacturers exist in India who actually do a very good quality job. Quality brings me to the cruciality of sustainability.”

She further concluded by stating that, “India is at a threshold where its talking about making the best of steel, yet doing it sustainably is a double challenge that we all have to accept. Steel is strength, steel is stability and steel is the spirit of self-reliance in India. So, lets take a pledge to make in steel and make in India“.

India’s crude steel output hit 55 million tons mark in just 4 months of this fiscal year 2025-26 (Apr-Jul), registering annual growth of 10.7% while finished steel output hit 51.4 million tons mark registering 8.5% hike on y-o-y basis.

Monica Bachchan Duvvuri, Founder & CEO of Metalogic PMS mentioned, “Steel is backbone of key consuming sectors including construction, infrastructure, automotive, defence etc. Our mission is to bring the industry together and address challenges, spark new ideas and encourage consumption.“

India’s steel sector, under the National Steel Policy (NSP), has set an ambitious target of enhancing production capacity to 300 million tonnes and raising domestic per capita steel consumption to 160 kg per person by 2030. Further it is being anticipated that the production capacity would touch 400 million tons by 2035 requiring over 550 million tons of iron ore. According to Metalogic PMS, in FY25 the per capita consumption of steel stands at ~108 kg per person, highlighting the significant growth potential that lies ahead when the same figures would cross 200 kg per person.

Metalogic PMS is a leading market intelligence firm and a prominent industry conference platform for the industry.

Indias leading textile manufacturing, leather goods, garment machinery and textile production expo hosted leading brands, manufacturers and suppliers under one single platform introducing innovative technologies, latest equipment, new material developments and value-added services for Indias entire garment and textile eco-space.

13th edition of Gartex Texprocess India A step forward in textile automation and sustainable development

The three-day event was marked with heavy visitor footfall with a record-breaking attendance of 15,790 visitors on all days. Strategised to be the industry benchmark, Gartex Texprocess India 2025 focused on high-quality, high-speed and cost-effective products besides pushing technological innovation in the textile and apparel chain. The event offered a comprehensive platform for domestic as well as global industry players to discover opportunities, promote collaborations, and infuse investments in Indias expanding textile, denim and leather industry.

Gartex Texprocess India New Delhi 2025

The three-day event included an all-encompassing array of solutions in garment machinery, digital printing, embroidery, trims, accessories, automation, and sustainable practices. In serving as a meeting point for industry conversation, it also allowed stakeholders to not only source the newest technologies but also share knowledge on changing market needs and best practices.

The show floor engaged visitors in Denim Talks, State Sessions from Uttar Pradesh – Bihar and The Textile Care Forum highlighting the new developments, solutions and trends in the textile industry. The show saw interesting innovations in fabric manufacturing, embroidery, textile care (laundry), chemicals, inks, textile printing, denim, sewing, software, leather machinery, AI and automation and many more.

Bringing together 200 exhibitors from the vast textile segment, they expressed how this industry platform of Gartex Texprocess India served beneficial to them and shared positive experience about the footfall the show received and visitors about the vibrancy of the product displays and the new launches during the show. Mr Nirmit Dalmia, Director, R&B Denims Ltd, who has a fabric manufacturing and garmenting unit and has been an exporter for the past few years, expressed, “We have been participating for the last five years. I feel like its been an excellent experience to understand the denim trends, learn about new creations and meet our own buyers. We also get to know what people want from the denim market. We have displayed our new garment line for the first time. We have also displayed some fabric selections that we usually do for our exports, as we have been exporting for the last few years.”

Mr Amir Akhtar, Group President & CEO, Jindal Worldwide Limited, speaking about current trends in denim and the current tariff situation explained, “We have clearly seen a trend towards fabrics becoming lighter in weight. Consumers want a softer handle, more drapes and more fluid fabrics. If you see all the directional brands, they are launching garments which use lightweight drapey fabrics. In the denim world, which means the whole casual world, people are looking at the colors which are inspired by the shades of the forest and earth are liked by the customers. The US tariff situation is a serious one for any company, where 25% excess tariffs are going to impact the whole industry. This issue should be resolved as quickly as possible. This impacts both the importer and the exporter.”

Another exhibitor, Mr Kiran Patil, Regional Manager, Morgan Tecnica, a company that helps to save around 60-70% of the manpower requirement through its automation solution expressed, “We feel that Gartex Texprocess India is a well-organised and systematic show compared to others. Even before the show, a lot of advertising and promotional campaigns make the industry buyers and visitors aware of the upcoming expo, which helps us during the show with footfalls.”

An exhibitor from the laundry segment, Mr Rakesh Dash, Sales Head, Orgaearth Cleansol Pvt Ltd reviewed, “It has been a very good platform for us. Our association with Gartex Texprocess India has been an amazing journey as we have met many prospects and our clients. Being a laundry player, this is a wonderful platform that helps us build our local reach as well. We are looking forward to joining Gartex in the upcoming editions as well.”

Functioning as the B2B platform for the buyers and sellers, the visitors to the expo commended the relevance of the product showcase. Visitor Mr Sanjay Vala, Director, Kanchan Fabrics shared, “We are manufacturer of uniforms. We visit every year to find out new developments in machinery. For example, we never used care system that is displayed here. We had it installed at our facility after learning from Gartex that helped us achieve better patterns.”

Mr Sarfaraj Patel, MD, Pan Gujarat, stated, “I came here looking for innovative and new fabrics. I saw a variety of fabrics this year, more profound than in the previous editions. I loved the new patterns displayed and will continue to visit the Mumbai and New Delhi Editions in future as well.“
