AM/NS India, the country’s fourth-largest steel producer and a joint venture between ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel, has introduced a new color-coated steel brand, a patented product originally developed by ArcelorMittal. This move comes as India’s annual consumption of coated steel reaches around 3.2 million tonnes, with demand in this value-added segment growing faster than the broader steel market.
The newly launched product, branded as ‘Optigal,’ will be produced at a volume of 700,000 tonnes annually, with plans to increase production to 1 million tonnes over time. The initial manufacturing will take place at AM/NS India’s facility in Pune, with further expansion to other locations planned.
In addition to ‘Optigal,’ AM/NS India is exploring the possibility of introducing other products from both ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel that are suitable for the Indian market. The company intends to regularly launch these products as part of its ongoing expansion efforts.
