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.”

According to provisional data, SAIL clocked sales of 2.1 million tonnes (MT) in December 2025, registering a robust growth of around 37 per cent compared with 1.5 MT sold in December 2024. This marks the company’s best performance for the month of December to date, with strong growth reported across product categories and sales channels, alongside a significant reduction in inventory levels.
The strong monthly performance was driven by a sharp focus on timely customer deliveries and enhanced market engagement. SAIL has also stepped up its branding and outreach initiatives in recent months, contributing to improved visibility and stronger customer connect in both retail and institutional segments.
The December showing helped SAIL sustain its growth momentum during the current financial year. Cumulative sales for the April–December 2025 period stood at 14.7 MT (provisional), reflecting a growth of about 17 per cent compared with 12.6 MT recorded during the corresponding period of the previous year.
In addition to solid performance in the domestic market, SAIL’s export volumes have also witnessed a significant increase, highlighting the company’s expanding global footprint and competitiveness in international markets. The improved export performance comes amid volatile global steel market conditions, underscoring SAIL’s ability to adapt and capitalise on emerging opportunities.
The sustained improvement in sales volumes reflects SAIL’s strengthened market presence, customer-centric approach and operational efficiencies. The record-breaking achievements across domestic and overseas markets reinforce the company’s position among India’s leading steel producers and are expected to further enhance its standing among major global steel players in the coming years.

India Imposes Three-Year Tariff on Select Steel Imports

New duties aim to curb surge of low-priced steel from China

India has recently imposed import tariffs for a three-year period on select steel products, targeting a sharp rise in low-priced shipments from China that regulators say are hurting domestic producers.

The tariff has been set at 12 per cent in the first year, easing to 11.5 per cent in the second year and further tapering to 11 per cent in the third year. The measure follows concerns flagged by trade authorities over increasing imports at prices below prevailing domestic levels.

As the world’s second-largest crude steel producer, India has been grappling with sustained inflows of cheaper steel, particularly from China, raising anti-dumping concerns and putting pressure on local steelmakers’ margins and capacity utilisation.

The move is expected to provide near-term relief to domestic producers while allowing a gradual adjustment as duties are phased down over the three-year period.
