ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India) is a joint venture between ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel, two of the world’s foremost steelmakers. It was established in December 2019 following the acquisition of Essar Steel. AM/NS India is an integrated producer of flat steel. The company operates across the full value chain, from captive iron ore and pellet making to ready-to-market products. Its portfolio includes over 600 steel grades, several of which serve as substitutes for imports. AM/NS India serves critical industries, including automotive, infrastructure, defence, agriculture, and energy. The company makes a significant contribution to the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
AM/NS India is rapidly expanding its scale and capabilities. The Hazira plant is undergoing a major upgrade. The project will raise upstream capacity from 9 MTPA to 15 MTPA by 2026.
