Manaksia Coated Metals Commissions Alu-Zinc Upgrade at CGL

13 Jan 2026 CW Team

The upgrade marks a transition from conventional galvanised steel to advanced Alu-Zinc coated steel technology and has been implemented alongside improvements in line speed and operational capabilities. With the successful completion of the project, the installed capacity of the CGL has increased from 132,000 metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 180,000 MTPA, significantly strengthening the company’s ability to meet rising market demand for Alu-Zinc coated steel.

Alu-Zinc coated steel is witnessing growing acceptance due to its superior corrosion resistance and longer service life, offering premium pricing opportunities across multiple applications. The upgraded line is expected to deliver enhanced productivity, improved energy efficiency and optimised coating costs per metric tonne, while maintaining high-quality standards.

The development reinforces Manaksia Coated Metals & Industries Limited’s focus on improving operating efficiencies and advancing its product mix toward higher-margin offerings. The company expects the upgrade to support EBITDA performance over the medium term, while also enhancing scalability and positioning the business to capitalise on opportunities in both domestic and export markets.

Commenting on the commissioning, Karan Agrawal, Whole Time Director, Manaksia Coated Metals & Industries Limited, said, “The successful Alu-Zinc technology upgrade of our Continuous Galvanising Line marks an important step in strengthening our value-added product portfolio. The capacity expansion to 180,000 MTPA enhances our ability to address growing demand for premium Alu-Zinc coated steel. Improved operating efficiencies, higher line speeds, and optimised coating costs are expected to support margins over the medium term. This upgrade positions us well to scale profitably across domestic and export markets.”

The commissioning underscores the company’s continued emphasis on operational excellence, future-ready growth initiatives and long-term value creation for stakeholders.
