Primary steel producers expect steady operating profitability this fiscal year. Higher global steel prices and safeguard duties will support profit margins. Domestic steel demand is projected to grow between five and seven percent. This growth will be driven by infrastructure and other key sectors. Strong demand and steady profits will strengthen cash accruals for companies.
