Background

The ArcelorMitttal Nippon Steel India plant in Hazira, Gujarat is one of the largest steel plants in India. The first phase of the plant was commissioned in 1995.[1] It was earlier owned by Essar Steel and was sold to ArcelorMitttal Nippon under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code process in 2019.[1][2]

On 28 September, 2022, the company announced its plan to expand the plant with an addition of two blast furnaces at a total cost of US $7.4 billion which will increase its crude steel production capacity from 9 mtpa to 15 mtpa.[3] The construction of the expansion project began in October 2022 and is expected to be completed in 2026.[4][5]

As of November 2023, debottlenecking and Phase I upstream and downstream expansion were ongoing. ArcelorMittal’s 975MW renewable energy project in India was on track for completion in the first half of 2024. The project is expected to provide over 20% of AMNS Hazira plant electricity requirements.[6][7]

In December 2023, ArcelorMitttal Nippon Steel India announced its plans to set up three dedicated scrap-processing centres in Gujarat (one in Hazira and another in Ahmedabad) and Maharashtra (in Khopoli) and expects to increase scrap in its EAFs by 9%.[8][9]
