Aaress Iron and Steel, a subsidiary of the Vijayanagar-based Baldota Group, proposes to set up an integrated steel plant of 3.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) capacity with an investment of Rs 180 billion.

The plant will come up at Halavarthi village in Koppal district in Karnataka. Rahul Baldota signed a memorandum of understanding for this project at the global investors meet (GIM) in Bengaluru on Wednesday.
