The licences fulfil mandatory procurement criteria, allowing AM\/NS India to supply state-funded projects requiring these certified grades.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Domestic Availability &amp; Import Substitution:<\/strong> As the first domestic licensee for IS 2062 (Part 2):2026, AM\/NS India provides a local supply source for Q&amp;T steel plates, addressing market segments that previously relied on imported materials.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Product Portfolio Expansion:<\/strong> The licences enable the commercial distribution of specialized products manufactured at the company&#8217;s Hazira and Pune facilities, spanning high-load structural applications and corrosion-resistant coated products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manufactured at <strong>AM\/NS India&#8217;s advanced facilities in Hazira and Pune<\/strong>, these certified products reflect the company&#8217;s technical agility to develop specialized solutions aligned with rapidly evolving industrial demands. The milestone adds to a prestigious track record, with AM\/NS India steel already contributing to critical national assets, including the <strong>Chenab Rail Bridge<\/strong> and strategic naval platforms such as <strong>INS Surat, INS Visakhapatnam, and the recently commissioned INS Malvan.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The newly introduced <strong>IS 2062 (Part 2):2026<\/strong> is the first BIS standard specifically developed for quenched and tempered steel plates. Produced through a specialised heat-treatment process, Q&amp;T steel offers exceptionally high strength and durability, enabling lighter yet stronger structures capable of carrying heavier loads. These products are widely used in <strong>bridges, heavy engineering equipment, mining machinery, offshore structures, marine applications and other demanding industrial environments where safety and performance are critical.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>IS 19210:2025<\/strong> standard establishes a quality framework for pre-painted zinc-aluminium-magnesium coated steel products. AM\/NS India&#8217;s offering under this category is based on <strong>Optigal\u00ae<\/strong>, ArcelorMittal&#8217;s globally recognised zinc-aluminium-magnesium coated steel technology. Compared to conventional colour-coated steel products, the advanced coating delivers significantly superior <em>corrosion resistance, enhanced cut-edge protection, longer service life and reduced maintenance requirements.<\/em> The products are widely used in <strong>roofing and cladding, pre-engineered buildings, infrastructure, warehousing, railways and industrial construction.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AM\/NS India currently holds <strong>25 BIS licences<\/strong>, including <strong>three prestigious All India First Licences<\/strong> under <strong>IS 3039, IS 18809:2024 and IS 2062 (Part 2):2026<\/strong>, reflecting the company&#8217;s continued leadership in introducing advanced steel technologies and world-class products to the Indian market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These latest recognitions <strong>cement the company&#8217;s reputation as a formidable leader capable of delivering globally benchmarked steel solutions that power India\u2019s long-term infrastructure and manufacturing growth.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hazira\/Surat (Gujarat) [India], September 17: ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM\/NS India) has strengthened its leadership in advanced steel manufacturing by securing Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) licences under two significant new standards.
