Vedanta Iron and Steel Ltd. (VISL) noted that it plans to develop a resource-backed integrated steel business, with mining and steelmaking operations forming the core of its strategy, as per a PTI news report.  

The statement comes shortly after the company's listing on the BSE and the NSE earlier this week. 

Steel Capacity Expansion Planned 

The company said it will expand production across high-silicon iron, ductile iron pipes, wire rods, and rebars. These products cater to sectors such as construction and infrastructure, where domestic demand has remained steady.  

Iron Ore Reserves to Support Operations 

VISL said it has access to nearly 4 billion tonnes of iron ore reserves and resources, providing raw material availability for more than 50 years.  

The company operates mining and steel businesses across India and Africa, including Sesa Iron Ore, ESL Steel Ltd. and Western Cluster Ltd. in Liberia, along with related industrial operations. 

Domestic Steel Demand Expected to Rise 

India's installed steelmaking capacity is currently around 200 million tonnes and is projected to increase to 300 million tonnes by 2030.  

According to the company, investments in railways, infrastructure, defence, energy and urban development are expected to support this increase. It also expects domestic steel demand to grow by more than 6-8% annually over the coming years. 

Listing Marks Next Phase 

Following its stock market debut, VISL said it will continue expanding across the iron ore and steel value chain through operational integration and capacity additions.  

The company said its long-term plans are linked to its reserve base and existing portfolio of mining and steel assets.
