SEFI has become more stronger by the including memberships from the various manufacturing units under the Ministry of Steel(MoS). This has empowered the federation with a greater bargaining power at the centre. We are presently have a strength of around 20,000 executives as members of this association.

The journey of struggle, hard ships, tough negotiations, and executive welfare measures in past has yielded this association a “brand image” and “glory” that can never fade! It is now for each one of the SEFI members to salute and celebrate the long legacy of this federation.
