Kumaraswamy Discusses New Steel Plant in Andhra Pradesh

Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel, HD Kumaraswamy, held a crucial meeting with an Andhra Pradesh delegation in Delhi to discuss the establishment of a new steel plant by ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel Corporation in the state.

The meeting, attended by Andhra Pradesh Industries Minister TG Bharat, senior state officials, Amitava Mukherjee (Chairman and Managing Director of NMDC), and Dilip Oommen (CEO of ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel), focused on the proposed steel plant's development and potential benefits for the state.

Kumaraswamy emphasized the importance of promoting new investments in the steel sector to reduce dependence on imported steel and strengthen India's domestic production capabilities. This aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of achieving an annual steel production target of 300 million tonnes by 2030.

He also noted that the central government has positively responded to ArcelorMittal’s commitment to invest in Andhra Pradesh, which will contribute significantly to the state's economy and steel production sector. The meeting covered key topics such as capital investment, job creation, and steel production capacity.

The proposed integrated steel plant will be located in Anakapalli district, Andhra Pradesh, with an annual production capacity of 17.8 million tonnes. This plant is expected to play a pivotal role in supporting the nation's growth and fulfilling its increasing demand for steel.

Kumaraswamy added that he had previously engaged in multiple discussions with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu about the project. The plant is expected to create substantial employment opportunities and boost the region's industrial capabilities.

The project is a significant step toward India's self-reliance in steel production, fostering long-term growth for the country and reinforcing the government's commitment to the steel industry’s future.
