Why it matters
The initiative aims to increase the availability of domestically produced automotive steel, which would reduce India's reliance on imports. This move is supported by the Indian Government’s ‘Make In India’ programme, designed to transform India into a global manufacturing hub.
ArcelorMittal has launched a new steel brand in India and is localizing advanced coated steels to support the Indian auto sector.
