AM/NS India Secures Landmark BIS Certifications for Advanced Steel

ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India) has achieved a major milestone in advanced steel manufacturing by securing Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) licences under two critical new standards. Notably, the company has become India’s first steelmaker to receive the All India First BIS Licence for IS 2062 (Part 2):2026, which covers Hot Rolled Quenched & Tempered (Q&T) Steel Plates, Sheets, Strips, and Wide Flats. Additionally, AM/NS India secured certification under IS 19210:2025 for Pre-Painted Zinc-Aluminium-Magnesium (Zn-Al-Mg) Alloy Coated Steel Strip and Sheet. These certifications fulfill mandatory public procurement prerequisites while driving domestic import substitution for specialized steel grades previously sourced from abroad.

Applications Across Strategic Infrastructure and Heavy Engineering:
Manufactured at the company’s advanced facilities in Hazira and Pune, these certified products cater to demanding industrial and infrastructural requirements:

Quenched & Tempered (Q&T) Steel Plates (IS 2062): Produced via specialized heat-treatment, these plates offer exceptional strength and durability for bridges, heavy engineering equipment, mining machinery, and marine structures.

Zn-Al-Mg Corrosion-Resistant Coatings (IS 19210): Utilizing ArcelorMittal’s globally acclaimed Optigal technology, these pre-painted sheets provide superior corrosion resistance and cut-edge protection for pre-engineered buildings, roofing, railways, and industrial warehousing.

Reinforcing Leadership Under Atmanirbhar Bharat:
With these latest additions, AM/NS India now holds a total of 25 BIS licences including three prestigious All India First Licences. By aligning its production capabilities with the Government of India’s Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat mandates, the company continues to supply vital high-performance steel for critical national infrastructure, including the Chenab Rail Bridge and strategic naval platforms like INS Surat, INS Visakhapatnam, and INS Malvan.
