ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel Invests ₹67,345 Crore in Andhra Pradesh Steel Plant
Vijayawada, November 30, 2025 – ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India Limited (AMNSIL) is forging ahead with the construction of a new greenfield Integrated Steel Plant (ISP) in the Anakapalli district of Andhra Pradesh, marking a major investment in the region. The project’s first phase, estimated to cost ₹67,345 crore, aims to produce 8.2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of finished saleable products, with hot rolled coils accounting for the bulk (70%) of the output.
The plant site, spread across 2,200 acres in Nakkapalli Mandal, falls within the East Coast Economic Corridor. AMNSIL plans to draw water primarily from the Polavaram Left Main Canal and supplement it with recycled wastewater. Power needs will be met through a combination of captive generation (227 MW) and grid sourcing (640 MW). An existing iron ore slurry pipeline is being diverted to supply the plant with raw materials.
AMNSIL has also committed ₹3,540 crore to an environmental management plan, with an annual recurring cost of ₹355 crore, demonstrating their commitment to sustainable operations. The company selected Anakapalli as the preferred location due to its proximity to the Visakhapatnam industrial hub and superior logistical advantages.
