Background

AP High Grade Steels Limited was incorporated on 21 November 2019 as a fully owned undertaking of the Government of Andhra Pradesh for formation of a 3 mtpa Steel Plant in YSR Kadapa District.[1] On December 23, 2019, the foundation stone for APHSL was laid at Sunnapuraalla Palle village of YSR Kadapa District.[2] According to OECD steelmaking report, the plant is planning an expansion of its steel making capacities by 1000 ttpa using BOF, expected to be operational by 2024. The plant is also planning another expansion of its BOF facilities by 2000 ttpa.[3] The project earlier rejected by SAIL, is now being carried forward by JSW group, to be developed in phases.[4]
