6. SAIL, ArcelorMittal ink MoU to set up steel plant in India
ArcelorMittal, the world’s largest steelmaker, and state-run Steel Authority of India (SAIL) have signed an MoU for setting up an auto-grade steel unit in the country.
“The MoU is the first step of a process to establish a JV between the two companies. The proposed JV will construct a state-of-the-art cold rolling mill and other downstream finishing facilities in India that will offer technologically advanced steel products to India’s rapidly growing automotive sector,” a joint statement issued by the firms
The MoU with ArcelorMittal will pave the way for a new chapter in the indigenous production of high-quality automotive steel in India. It will also aid a broader effort by SAIL to help fulfil the high-quality steel requirements of the rapidly growing infrastructure and manufacturing sectors in India
There is a huge gap to bridge between India’s demand for auto-grade steel and its existing domestic production capacity, leading to a surge in imports of inputs. A large part of India’s total 9.32 mt steel imports accounts for automotive steel. The two steelmakers’ coming together is aimed at plugging the gaps.
