This news turned out to be false

AM/NS India's Vizag ITI cluster has become the first-ever Strategic Investment Plan approved under PM-SETU (a scheme to transform government ITIs from neglected infrastructure into industry-managed, outcome-oriented institutions)

Andhra Pradesh becomes the first state to onboard an Anchor Industry Partner, with AM/NS India and academic partner Namtech driving the hub-and-spoke model that PM-SETU envisions nationally.

Notably AM/NS India is simultaneously executing two of India's biggest greenfield steel investments. ₹1.36 lakh crore integrated plant at Anakapalli, Andhra Pradesh, with 8.2 MTPA in Phase 1 already under construction and first commissioning targeted by early 2029, and a second major plant in Kendrapara, Odisha.

Great to see a company building industrial capacity at this scale across two states, and simultaneously investing in the skilling pipeline to man it. #Jobs #MakeInIndia

Japan's steel giants are All-In on India manufacturing. 🇯🇵🏭🇮🇳

The Japanese steel manufacturers are commiting to ₹100K+ Cr investments via Indian JVs for steel industry transformation.

The deal flow in world's fastest growing steel market:
• JFE-JSW Odisha: $1.7B (4.5MTPA, FY2027).

• Auto steel: 7.8M MT/yr, +7% annually
• FY26 production: 168M MT (+10% YoY)
• 2030 target: 300M MT (nearly 2x)
• Specialty steel: 42M MT by FY2027.

Competitive moat:
• Japanese tech + Indian scale
• High-margin specialty, not commodity

This is transition from volume → value chain leadership.

• Green steel = CBAM compliance for EU.
• Policy tailwinds: PLI + National targets.
