ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India said it is set to commission two production lines at its Gujarat-based facility this year to produce advanced automotive steel products.

The company, a joint venture between ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel, said that once operational, the production of the two units will substitute imports of high-end steel required by the entire automotive sector, promoting 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative.

In addition, all the products will match the quality standards of parent companies ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel, the company said in a statement.

Some of the offerings currently available globally will also be manufactured for the first time in India, it added.

The new lines -- a Continuous Galvanizing Line (CGL) and a Continuous Galvanizing and Annealing Line (CGAL), embedding the technical know-how of the parent companies -- are expected to be fully operational in 2025, it said.

These two facilities will be part of the upcoming Cold Rolling Mill 2 (CRM2) complex at its flagship plant in Hazira, Gujarat, it added.
