Mukand Sumi Special Steel Limited (MSSSL) has announced a significant expansion in production with the construction of a greenfield integrated steelmaking facility at Kanakapura, Koppal, Karnataka.
Designed as a sustainability-first plant, the new facility, with an investment of INR 2,345 Crores, will follow a Zero Liquid, Solid, and Gaseous Discharge Model, with over 95% of energy needs met through renewables. MSSSL has committed to achieving net-zero steel manufacturing by 2050. Future phases will integrate hydrogen-ready infrastructure and carbon capture technologies.
The project, expected to begin operations by early 2028, will see the commissioning of a 0.35 million tonnes per annum Integrated Steel Plant and will include Iron Making, Steel Making, and Blooming Mill facilities. This investment also focuses on flexibility, automation, and digital integration to ensure that product quality is consistent and energy use is optimized.
The expansion will sharpen MSSSL’s focus on critical applications in automotive, railways, oil & gas, energy, and bearing steel, positioning the company as a key partner for global OEMs. With this move, MSSSL aims to combine scale, sustainability, and smart manufacturing to support India’s 4.0 Industrial initiative to meet the global demand for low-carbon-emission, high-performance steel.
