ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India) has announced the commissioning of a new, Continuous Galvanising Line (CGL) at its plant in Hazira, Gujarat making it the only company in India with a modern CGL line capable of producing Advanced High-Strength Steel (AHSS) with strength levels up to 1180 megapascals (MPa) – essential for safety, durability, and sustainability for automotive applications.
It will manufacture Galvanised (GI) and Galvannealed (GA) coated flat steels, including ArcelorMittal as well as Nippon Steel’s licensed products. These offerings will provide recyclability, high-formability, fuel efficiency through lightweighting, and enhanced safety – key requirements for modern mobility solutions, especially with India’s Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFE) Phase III norms coming into effect in April 2027.
The production capacity of 2 million tonnes from the new CGL will substitute imports of high grade specialised steel by automobile companies.
Dilip Oommen, Chief Executive Officer, AM/NS India said, “The commissioning of the new line and upcoming facilities are designed to produce steel that matches the quality of offerings currently available in developed nations. We will provide the best-in-class products that the country needs.”
“With the support from our parent companies, we have set new benchmarks and further strengthened our ability to deliver world-class products, including the highest-strength steel ever produced in India to meet the evolving needs of the automotive sector. Indigenous production from this unique line will contribute meaningfully towards the country’s self-reliance goal,” he added.
This is part of the company’s ₹60,000-crore expansion project to develop upstream, downstream, and other enabling facilities.
“The expansion project is progressing well to scale up the company’s production capacity from the current 9 mtpa to 15 mtpa, with a goal of reaching 24 mtpa at its Hazira plant. This includes both upstream and downstream steelmaking capabilities,” the company said. Separately, the company will set up an integrated steel plant in Andhra Pradesh where it has already commenced the land acquisition process. Plans are also on track to set up integrated steel plants in Odisha, where the company has presence.
