ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM\/NS India) has announced the commissioning of a second 6 million tonne per annum (MTPA) pellet plant at Paradeep in Odisha.<\/p>\n
With the commissioning of the second unit, the plant doubled its production capacity at AM\/NS India’s Paradeep complex to 12 million tonnes, the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The expansion will make the pellet complex the largest single-location unit in India and take the company’s national pelletization capacity to 20 MTPA, it said.<\/p>\n
AM\/NS India CEO Dilip Oommen said, “The commissioning of our second pellet plant at Paradeep is an important milestone for AM\/NS India, allowing us to contribute meaningfully to India’s aim of achieving a domestic steel production capacity of 300 MT in the coming decade.”<\/p>\n
“AM\/NS India will continue investing in Odisha, a promising hub for Indian steel production, and we are also currently progressing plans for a greenfield steel plant in the state,” he added.<\/p>\n
“Paradeep’s pellet plant II coming on stream significantly advances our capacity to produce superior quality direct reduced iron grade pellets for domestic steel production. It also supports AM\/NS India’s longer-term plans to grow its national steel production up to 30 MTPA,” said AM\/NS India COO Wim Van Gerven.<\/p>\n
The company’s national pellet production operations comprise 12 MTPA in Paradeep and 8 MTPA in Vishakhapatnam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
