1️⃣ AM/NS India launches a dedicated scrap processing plant in Khopoli to boost sustainable steelmaking.
2️⃣ The facility reduces reliance on virgin iron ore and supports India’s circular economy goals.
3️⃣ Future expansion of scrap processing units could enhance domestic steel sustainability.
ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India) has commissioned its first dedicated scrap processing facility in Khopoli, Maharashtra. This marks a significant step in the company’s push for sustainable steelmaking by integrating recycled scrap into its production processes.
The newly launched facility will process ferrous scrap to supply high-quality recycled material for steelmaking, reducing reliance on virgin iron ore. This initiative aligns with India’s broader goals of promoting circular economy practices in the steel sector. By enhancing scrap utilization, AM/NS India aims to cut carbon emissions and improve overall energy efficiency in its operations.
The move is expected to boost the availability of processed scrap in India, benefiting domestic steel producers seeking greener production methods. With increasing government focus on decarbonization, such initiatives position India’s steel sector to meet stringent global sustainability norms while improving cost efficiency.
AM/NS India has signaled potential expansion of similar facilities across the country, reinforcing its commitment to green steel manufacturing. The Khopoli plant is a step toward reducing dependence on imported scrap and strengthening domestic processing capabilities.
