The Gujarat government had informed that the world’s leading steel and mining conglomerate ArcelorMittal would invest Rs 1,00,000 crore in different projects in the states, including its steel plant at Hazira near Surat.
Earlier in the day, ArcelorMittal Chairman Lakshmi Niwas Mittal along with the CEO of ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India), Dilip Oommen, called upon Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani at Gandhinagar. During the meeting, Mittal expressed his commitment to invest Rs 50,000 crore for the expansion of Hazira-based steel plant. Notably, ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India had taken over the steel plant from Essar in 2019 following an insolvency proceeding initiated by lender banks. Mittal is also willing to invest another Rs 50,000 crore in solar energy, wind energy and hydrogen gas production in Gujarat.
