This makes Paradeep the largest single-location pelletization complex in India, according to AM/NS India.
 
“The commissioning of our second pellet plant at Paradeep is an important milestone for AM/NS India, allowing us to contribute meaningfully to India’s aim of achieving domestic steel production capacity of 300 million metric tons in the coming decade,” Dilip Oommen, chief executive officer of AM/NS India, said. “Our ability to make the plant operational despite the challenges of the past 18 months is a testament to the commitment of our teams at Paradeep and across the country, working in partnership with the Odisha government, which continues to make strides with its ‘Invest Odisha’ ambition for the resource-rich state. AM/NS India will continue investing in Odisha, a promising hub for Indian steel production, and we are currently progressing plans for a greenfield steel plant in Odisha.”
