The document discusses the marketing of secondary products and by-products from Bokaro Steel Plant in India. It describes how previously marketing was done through fixed pricing or tenders, which led to issues like malpractice and low profits. To address these issues, Bokaro Steel Plant transitioned around 5 years ago to conducting e-auctions through an online platform for more effective and simpler marketing. The e-auctions are held jointly with TISCO through a company called Metal Junction, and promote transparency, fairness, and higher profits compared to the previous methods.

After independence the builders of modern India worked with a vision - to lay the infrastructure for rapid industrialization of the country. The steel sector was to propel the economic growth.

The present mode of marketing of secondary products & by-products,and Regulation of entire marketing activities is done mainly through E-AUCTION This is also known as E-COMMERCE. This concept of marketing came after modernization, and implemented at Bokaro Steel Plant some 5 years back, in order to transform the marketing activities more effective and more simpler.
Previous mode of marketing of secondary products and by-products were mainly done through the following ways.. Fixed pricing. Tender basis.
The major problems faced in practicing these modes of marketing concepts at Bokaro Steel Plantwere. Greater chances of malpracticing. No fair deal. Inability to hold potential customers. Self interest of higher professionals. Low profitability & low turnover.
