Abstract
The steel industry in Chhattisgarh, a significant contributor to India's metallurgical sector, is experiencing transformative changes driven by disruptive technological innovations in supply chain management. This study explores the adoption and impact of advanced technologies—such as the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and additive manufacturing—within selected steel enterprises in the region. Employing a mixed-methods approach that includes case studies, stakeholder interviews, and data analysis, the research examines how these technologies enhance operational efficiency, transparency, and sustainability across the supply chain. Findings indicate that IoT facilitates real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance, blockchain ensures data integrity and traceability, and additive manufacturing brings production closer to end-users, potentially reshaping logistics structures. Despite these advancements, challenges persist, including integration complexities, skill gaps, and infrastructural constraints. The study underscores the necessity for strategic planning, workforce development, and supportive policies to fully leverage these innovations. By providing insights into the technological evolution of supply chain management in Chhattisgarh's steel industry, this research contributes to the broader discourse on industrial modernization and sustainable practices in emerging economies.
