Of this, 5 MTPA is currently under commissioning. Its next growth phase targets a total capacity of 43.4 MTPA over the next three years. The Vijayanagar plant in Karnataka remains India’s largest single-location steel production facility, with a current capacity of 17.5 MTPA.

In its broader sustainability mission, the company aims for 100 per cent renewable energy use in steel production by 2030, no net loss in biodiversity at operational sites, improved air quality, reduced water usage, and maintenance of zero liquid discharge across all plants.
