ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel (AM/NS) India has unveiled a transformative ₹60,000 crore Phase-I investment aimed at spearheading the nation’s green steel revolution. This strategic initiative is designed to align with the Indian government’s forthcoming Green Steel Taxonomy, introduced in December 2024, which categorizes steel based on carbon emissions per tonne of finished product. Under this classification, steel emitting less than 2.2 tonnes of CO₂ per tonne qualifies as ‘green steel,’ with further distinctions made through a star rating system, where five stars denote the highest environmental standards.
AM/NS India’s ambitious plan includes expanding its production capacity from the current 9 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 15.6 MTPA by FY2027. The company aims for 70% of this output to achieve a three-star green rating, reflecting significant strides toward sustainable manufacturing practices.
To support this expansion, AM/NS India is enhancing its scrap processing capabilities by upgrading existing facilities and establishing three new units across the country. Additionally, the company is investing in renewable energy projects, including a hybrid renewable energy initiative in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, to power its operations sustainably.
This substantial investment underscores AM/NS India’s commitment to environmental stewardship and positions the company as a leader in India’s transition to green steel production.
In light of such industry-defining initiatives, the upcoming Steel Construction Expo 2025, scheduled for November 27–29 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, presents a timely opportunity to explore these developments further. The event will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to deliberate on advancements in sustainable steel production and procurement strategies.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the conversation shaping the future of steel.
