AM/NS India gets first PM-SETU approval JSW Steel signs MoU for green methanol project Sunflag Iron & Steel Q4 profit drops 20.74% Concord Enviro arm bags Rs 126 crore steel sector order
ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India has become the first company to receive Strategic Investment Plan approval under the Centre’s Rs 60,000 crore PM-SETU scheme. The approval covers the Visakhapatnam ITI Cluster in Andhra Pradesh and marks a major step toward industry-led skill development in India.
With this move, Andhra Pradesh becomes the first state to operationalise an industry partnership under PM-SETU. The scheme aims to upgrade 1,000 government ITIs through a hub-and-spoke model, where industry partners help improve curriculum, training infrastructure and employability outcomes.
For the steel sector, the development is significant as AM/NS India’s participation can help create a more skilled workforce for advanced manufacturing, plant operations and emerging industrial technologies. The Visakhapatnam cluster is expected to act as a pilot for similar collaborations across India, supporting the government’s larger goal of building a future-ready workforce for Viksit Bharat 2047.
