In addition to Paradip, the steel giant has outlined plans for a plant in Kendrapara. Furthermore, it aims to expand the Hazira plant from nine MT to 15 MT and establish value-added downstream units, constituting a combined investment of $7.5 billion.

AMNS India is divided with ArcelorMittal holding a 60 percent stake and Japan’s Nippon Steel owning the remaining shares.
