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.

Tenova, a leading developer and provider of sustainable solutions for the green transition of the metals industry, has signed a contract with PT Tata Metal Lestari, one of Indonesia’s premium manufacturers of painted and coated steel products, and part of the global steel group Tatalogam, for the supply of a new hot dip galvanizing line for zinc aluminium magnesium alloy coated coils. 
The new line, able to process Al-Zn, Al-Zn-Mg, and Zn-Al-Mg coated coils; will be installed on the premises of Tata Metal Lestari’s Sadang Plant in Cijaya, Kabupaten Purwakarta, Indonesia, with an annual capacity of 250,000 tonne. 
The scope of work includes the engineering, supply, and supervision of a complete set of equipment for the hot dip galvanizing line, including advanced level 2 electrical and automation systems, specifically developed by Tenova Italimpianti, a well-known Tenova brand and leader in technologies for reheating, heat treatment, strip processing, acid regeneration plants and cold rolling mills. 
The new hot dip galvanizing line will produce first-class products with optimal surface quality and strip purity, thanks to the cleaning section, which removes surface contaminations, and to a combination of mechanical, hydrodynamic, and chemical processes. The furnace is designed to strictly separate the furnace atmosphere, the combustion process, and the ambient environment, preventing deterioration in the surface condition of the strip during heat treatment. The air knife systems also contribute to providing optimal quality for galvanized surfaces and the inline skin pass mill is designed to finish the coated surface with a controlled surface imprint, improving the strip shape.
“Thanks to this new project, PT Tata Metal Lestari will become a leading producer of aluminium, zinc and magnesium alloy coated steel coils for Indonesia and a reference point for the Western market,” stated Stephanus Koeswandi, CEO at PT Tata Metal Lestari. “We are pleased to collaborate with Tenova on this achievement, recognizing its expertise and capabilities in delivering customized and advanced technical solutions.” 
“The concept design of PT Tata Metal Lestari’s line perfectly combines the highest technology for the production of Al-Zn, Al-Zn-Mg, and Zn-Al-Mg coated coils with up-to-date customized operational processes,” added Giuseppe Zanzi, Chief Representative Officer, South East Asia and Oceania at Tenova. “This new line can guarantee high quality and stable production, together with the flexibility to use three types of zinc, aluminium and magnesium alloys coatings.”
