Background
On 24 August, 2011, Xindia Steels Limited announced its plan to set up a steel plant in Koppal district of Karnataka, India. Xindia Steels Limited is promoted by two Chinese state-owned entities — Xinxing Cathay International Group and China Minmetals Group, and Indian promoters - Kelchandra Group and Manasara Group. Xindia Steels plan to have a 5 mtpa facility at the location in three phases:[1]
- Phase I: 0.8 million ton Pellet Plant + Tianjin DI pipe plant
- Phase II: 2.5 mtpa Integrated Iron & Steel plant + cement plant
- Phase III: 5 mtpa Steel Plant + 250 MW power + 6 million ton pellet plant[2]
According to OECD Latest developments in steelmaking capacity report 2024, the proect is expected to begin commissioning by 2029.[3]
Xindia Steels Limited has recently commissioned a 0.8 mtpa Iron Ore Pelletisation facility at the plant site. The project construction work for the second phase is to be taken up shortly.[4]
