Analysts predicted that the recently listed NMDC Steel shares, which have increased by around 25% since their IPO in late February, will now follow the commissioning of their factory and the government’s upcoming stake sale.

The business, which separated from the government-owned NMDC last year, is now traded separately on the stock exchanges. At Nagarnar in Chhattisgarh, it has an integrated steel plant with a 3 million tonne capacity that will be operational by the end of this month.

By 2030, India, the world’s second-largest producer of steel, plans to create roughly 300 million tonne of steel annually, more than double the 120 million tonne it presently produces.

Most of the nation’s steel manufacturers are increasing their production capacity using a combination of organic and inorganic routes in accordance with the government’s strategy.

There will undoubtedly be businesses interested in purchasing this asset, but commissioning will be crucial. Also, this plant’s capex intensity has been significant.

This plant reportedly cost NMDC between Rs 230 and Rs 200 billion.

Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky has sold his 20 per cent stake in Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe and abandoned plans for a 50:50 joint venture, the companies announced. The decision enables Thyssenkrupp to intensify discussions with Jindal Steel International for a possible acquisition.

The move follows stalled negotiations between Thyssenkrupp and Kretinsky’s EP Group amid union opposition. The European steel sector continues to face high energy costs, cheap Chinese imports and delayed hydrogen-based decarbonisation.

Japan’s largest steelmaker, Nippon Steel, has acquired a 30 per cent stake in Canada’s Kami iron ore project, forming a joint venture with Australia’s Champion Iron and trading house Sojitz to secure supplies of high-grade ore for direct reduced iron production.

Through its subsidiary NS Canadian Resources, Nippon Steel has paid C$42 million (Rs 2.5 billion) of the total C$150 million (Rs 9 billion) investment, with the remaining C$108 million (Rs 6.5 billion) subject to an additional investment decision based on a feasibility study.

The deal builds on a December agreement in which Nippon Steel and Sojitz purchased a 49 per cent interest in the project from Champion Iron for C$245 million (Rs 14.7 billion). Under the new joint venture, Kami Iron Mine Partnership, the companies will advance the feasibility study for the Newfoundland and Labrador project.

Nippon Steel said the project’s high-grade ore is ideal for producing direct reduced iron, which, together with high-quality scrap, is crucial for operating large electric arc furnaces. The company plans to expand such furnaces to lower carbon emissions as part of its decarbonisation strategy.

Having recently acquired U.S. Steel, Nippon Steel has been strengthening its stakes in coking coal and iron ore mines worldwide to ensure long-term security of critical raw materials.
