Background

Kalyani Steels Ltd in February 2024 signed a MoU with the Odisha state government to set up an integrated specialty steel, titanium metal and aerospace components manufacturing complex in Dhenkanal district. Kalyani Steels will set up the integrated complex on around 1,100 acres at Gajamara in Dhenkanal district, Odisha, India. It will invest INR 6,626 crore for a 0.7 million tonnes per annum manufacturing unit of specialty steel and auto parts and INR 5,124 crore on aerospace and defence components unit. The company has set an ambitious target of making the units operational in the two years.

As of December 2024, the project is in discussion stage and the concrete plans over viability and funding for the actual capex were expected to be finalized over next 1 year. By July 2025, land acquisition for the proposed plant was underway.
