India is on the threshold of being a world leader in steel production. In this context, India being the 4th largest producer of steel in the world is in a position to dominate the steel industry. This beng the case, Inida should concentrate more on innovate solutions to improve its steelmaking. However, there are a lot of challenges to be faced regarding production of quality steel in accordance with International norms. In this paper, some of the challenges are discussed and innovative solutions are given. Recent research on steelmaking has been given and progress in Indian steel making has been shown graphically Various types of steelmaking have been briefly touched upon and the challenges that India is facing have been outlined. India has to take up these challenges and is poised to be a world leader in steelmaking. Therefore, improvements and innovations become necessary and, innovative solutions are required in steel making in order to face the challenges of the future. This paper discusses these challenges from an Indian perspective. Data are given from literature indicating some of the innovations already made and some more innovative methods which are unique to the Indian situation are discussed. These ideas when implemented could result in higher and cleaner steel productivity. Future trends in steelmaking have also been suggested.
