Uttam Galva Steels Limited, one of India’s leading galvanized steel producers, will invest up to Rs. 450 crores to set up a galvanizing and cold-roll mill complex in Ghana in a joint venture along with Liberty Commodities, a UK-based trading major with interests in metals and oil. The JV firm, Ghana Iron & Steel, will initially invest about Rs. 270 crores. Uttam Galva will have a majority stake in the JV. The joint venture company is believed to have already acquired land for the project.
The complex will include a hot-dip galvanizing line with a capacity of 75,000-tonne-per-annum that will be functional in 18 months. Later, a 250,000 TPA cold mill will be set up to feed the galvanizing unit. Till then, cold rolled coils will be exported from India and Bangladesh. The initial investment of Rs. 270 crores will be made for the two units.
