NMDC Steel Limited (NSL), a subsidiary of NMDC, has reached a significant production milestone, solidifying its reputation as one of the fastest-growing and most efficient steel plants in India. The company proudly announced that it has successfully produced 1 million tons (MnT) of Hot Rolled Coil (HRC), an accomplishment achieved just four days shy of the first anniversary of the commencement of HR Coil production.
This achievement underscores NSL’s rapid ascent in the steel industry, showcasing its remarkable spirit, advanced technological capabilities, and commitment to operational excellence. The state-of-the-art plant, which represents a significant investment of Rs. 22,900 crore, is equipped with one of the widest Hot Strip Mills in India, capable of rolling HR coils of 900 mm to 1650 mm width in thicknesses ranging from 1 mm to 16 mm.
NSL’s latest milestone follows closely on the heels of two other major production achievements in 2024. On July 21, 2024, the company reached the production of 1.5 MnT of Hot Metal from its Blast Furnace. Subsequently, on August 11, 2024, it produced 1 MnT of Liquid Steel from the Steel Making Shop (SMS). Both milestones were accomplished in less than a year from the commencement of production, setting new industry benchmarks and reaffirming NSL’s leadership in the sector.
Amitava Mukherjee, the Chairman and Managing Director (Additional Charge) of NMDC & NSL, expressed his pride in the company’s accomplishments. “I am incredibly proud to share that NSL has reached this significant milestone early in its production journey. Achieving 1 MnT of Hot Rolled Coil (HRC) ahead of schedule is a testament to the dedication, expertise, and hard work of our entire team. This achievement not only sets a new standard within the PSU sector but also stands strong against industry benchmarks. We remain focused on sustaining this momentum and continuing to lead with quality and efficiency,” said Mukherjee.
The achievement of this major production milestone reflects NSL’s unwavering commitment to efficiency, sustainability, and technological advancement. As the company continues to push the boundaries of steel manufacturing, it aspires to become a leader in the sector, setting new standards for performance and innovation.
