With the acquisition, Shyam Metalics' capacity for stainless steel, wire rod, and bar milling increases to 150,000 tonnes annually. According to a statement from the corporation, it will invest 75,000 million over the course of five years to further diversify its metals industries.

Since the beginning of our operations in 2005, we have a positive PAT (profit after tax). According to Brij Bhushan Agarwal, vice chairman and MD of Shyam Metalics and Energy, "the present investments across portfolios will take us to the next level of diversification, business excellence, and increase domestic and worldwide footprint. The company will increase its capacities for pellets from 3.6 million tonnes (mt) to 6.0 mt, sponge from 2.10 mt to 2.90 mt, billet from 1.47 mt to 2 mt, and finished steel from 1.47 mt to 2 mt during the course of the next six months.
