Background

The ETRHB steel plant in Berrahal was first proposed in 2017 by the ETRHB Haddad Group. However, due to a 2019 legal case, Ali Haddad, owner of the ETRHB Haddad group, was arrested and the project stalled.

In 2023, the Algerian state took control of the site and all property on it, including steel production equipment already delivered by the Italian company, Danieli. That equipment was later moved to the site of the Sider El Hadjar steel plant in a process criticized for lack of transparency. As of 2025, journalists reported that the Berrahal site was deserted, and that the Sider El Hadjar plant had yet to install or utilize the steelmaking equipment.
