Cold-rolled formed engineering solutions are driving a sustainability shift in the mining sector as the process generates minimal scrap, which can reduce waste generation by up to 80 per cent compared to conventional methods, experts said. As the industry focuses on productivity and sustainability, the shift toward precision-driven cold roll-formed engineering is emerging as a key enabler -- reducing waste, lowering costs, and improving long-term performance across mining operations. "In mining, scrap is not incidental -- it is embedded cost. Traditional fabrication creates inefficiencies through cutting, welding, and overdesign. Cold roll forming addresses this at the source by minimising material loss and delivering precision-engineered profiles," said Santosh Venkatasubbaiah, Director - Sales and Marketing at Mother India Forming, a company specialising in cold roll-formed components. Cold-rolled formed engineering solutions supports India's green steel initiatives by minimizing
India's automotive metal forming market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12 per cent to reach USD 90-95-billion by FY30, driven by cost competitiveness, engineering talent and supplier ecosystem, a report said. The industry has crossed a critical threshold in recent years, surpassing USD 80 billion in size in FY25 and transitioning from being a net importer to become a net exporter, according a report by investment bank Avendus Capital. The report highlights a structural shift in global automotive supply chains that is driving value concentration toward process-led manufacturing segments, particularly metal forming. The industry, which involves key manufacturing processes such as casting, forming, stamping and machining, has achieved exports of around USD 23 billion in the financial year ended March 2025. This reflects not just scale expansion, but a structural upgrade in manufacturing complexity, quality standards, and global integration, the report .
