The steel industry is heading into recession,but in India,one of its most important markets,there's no sign of declining demand. In August,the world's biggest steel-works builder,Germany's SMS Group,is delivering more high-tech components for a steel mill in India. In 2008,SMS signed a record number of contracts,worth more than 5 billion euros. Most of those contracts are in Asia.Our reporter Joachim Eggers joins the head of SMS's Asian division on a trip to Delhi and to the state of Orissa,where a new steel mill is being built. Together,they'll meet senior executives from Jindal Steel,one of India's most important producers. Why is India's steel industry doing so well during the economic crisis?
