ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India) has launched AM/NS Pelican, a premium galvanized steel brand targeting growing demand from India’s construction, infrastructure, manufacturing and engineering sectors.
The new product is designed to provide corrosion resistance, consistent coating quality, good formability and long service life. It is suitable for applications including roofing and roof-support sections, tubes, air-conditioning and ventilation systems, cable trays, fencing, furniture, drums and barrels and general engineering.
The launch comes as India’s galvanized steel market, estimated at 7.65 mln tons in 2025, is expected to grow by around 8 pct annually through 2030.
AM/NS Pelican will be manufactured using the company’s galvanizing facilities and distributed through its nationwide customer and distribution network.
The product joins AM/NS India’s Structromax and Weldstar brands launched earlier this year, as the company expands its portfolio of specialized, value-added steel products.
AM/NS India is a joint venture between ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel, with crude steel capacity of 9 mln tons/year and pellet capacity of 20 mln tons per year. The company is also developing an 8.2 mln tons/year integrated steel plant in Andhra Pradesh.
