Super Smelters Ltd, a prominent player in India’s steel industry, is setting up a 2 million tonne per annum (MTPA) integrated steel plant in Gadchiroli, Maharashtra. With a planned investment of ₹10,000 crore, the project will capitalize on the region’s rich coal and iron ore resources, aiming to transform the industrial landscape of the district.

The plant will generate approximately 4,000 direct and indirect jobs, providing a significant economic boost to the tribal-dominated area. Strategically located near the Surjagarh iron ore mines and the proposed Dhanora coal block, the facility will benefit from reduced logistics costs and enhanced supply chain efficiency.

The proposed unit aligns with India’s broader push for self-reliance in steel production and is expected to spur infrastructure and socio-economic development in the region. Super Smelters has already secured around 1,200 acres of land in Konsari village and is awaiting final environmental and forest clearances to begin construction.This move marks a major step in decentralizing steel manufacturing beyond traditional hubs, positioning Gadchiroli as a potential industrial hotspot in eastern Maharashtra.
