India may topple no. 2 Japan in crude steel production

[Paranoid Android]

World crude steel production increased 5.6% to 141.4 million tonnes in September from a year earlier. India, which is tipped to topple Japan and emerge as the second-largest global steel producer, produced 8.2 million tonnes of the alloy last month, up 1.9%. China, the world’s largest steel producer, accounted for more than half of the month’s global output, producing 71.8 million tonnes, an increase of 5.3%. Japan’s output rose 2% to 8.6 million tonnes. India produced 75.2 million tonnes of steel in the first nine months of 2017, up 5.7% from the same period last year, the World Steel Association said in a report collating production data for 66 countries. Japan’s output in the nine-month period went down marginally by 0.2% to 78.2 million tonnes. World crude steel production so far this year was up 5.6% to 1,266.9 million tonnes. Moderate but continued growth is expected for global steel demand, according to the association’s short-range outlook released earlier this month.

I think we surpass Japan in steel production in 2019.

There are 1.3 billion indians compared to 130 million japs

Compare Japan with China and your "country of pure" with "toilet-less India" to draw a fair inference.

One can draw the conclusion that 0.13 billion Japanese produce more than 1.4 billion Chinese if compared in terms of population.

Moreover India ranked 3rd producing 89.4 m ton (2015) while Pakistan produced 2.9 m ton (2015) ranking 39th

89.4 vs 2.9 and population of 1.3 B vs 0.21 B

India will take the 3rd largest GDP spot in half a decade , it's inevitable.
