Construction and infrastructure and Metal products

Construction and infrastructure buys from Metal products; construction and infrastructure depends on metal products.

Construction and infrastructure (industry) and Metal products (industry): 2 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Buys from

Physical flow · ₹4.5 per ₹100 · Construction and infrastructure buys from Metal products

Construction and infrastructure buys goods or services from Metal products; counted through every round of supply, ₹4.5 of each ₹100 of its output goes to them (OECD input-output tables, India 2022).

  • ₹4.5 of every ₹100 of Construction and infrastructure output, all rounds
  • ₹2.9 bought directly

2. Industry input

Physical flow · Criticality 3 of 5 · Metal products → Construction and infrastructure

2 of the enterprise types in Construction and infrastructure depend on metal products.

Enterprise types that depend on it:

  • Rebar and structural-steel producers: fabricated steel and pipes (criticality 3 of 5)
  • Specialist subcontractors (MEP, piling, formwork, facades): fabricated steel (criticality 3 of 5)
