About Essar Steel
Essar Steel India is one of India’s leading integrated steel producers with an annual production capability of 10 million tonnes, which is supported by a 20 million tonne pellet-making capability. The state-of-the-art facilities comprise iron ore beneficiation, pellet making, iron making, steel making, and downstream facilities, including a cold rolling mill, a galvanising  and pre-coated facility, a steel-processing facility, an extra-wide plate mill and three pipe mills with coating facilities.

Essar Hypermart, a pioneering initiative of Essar Steel, caters to the requirements of the SME segment, which normally does not have access to mill material directly.

Sustainability has been given due importance and the company is on course to becoming a zero-waste company.
