In India, Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) is steel the one -- the country's #1 steelmaker, that is. The company's main steel products include flat products (coils, plates, and sheets), structurals (angles, bars, and rods), rail products (high conductivity rails, light rails, and heavy rails), and tubular products (welded pipes). While steel is SAIL's core product, its also makes ferroalloys, coal-based chemicals, tar products, light oil, and fertilizers. Operating at a loss and with sales continuing to fall, the company plans to gradually sell off its non-core businesses and concentrate on producing carbon steel. The Indian government plans to divest its majority stake in the company.
