en.Wedoany.com Reported - ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India), a joint venture between ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel, commenced production of Zagnelis Protect steel on June 17, making India the first market outside Europe to produce this patented zinc-aluminum-magnesium (ZAM) coated steel. The product offers excellent corrosion resistance, self-healing properties, and high weldability, specifically designed for automotive industry applications, including engine parts, chassis components, and inner door panels.

The availability of Zagnelis Protect in the domestic market addresses a critical issue in India's supply chain. Currently, India imports 8% to 10% of its key automotive steel grades. For a country producing over 30 million vehicles annually, access to advanced local materials is strategically significant. The product is manufactured at the joint venture's plant in Hazira, Gujarat, which has undergone a capacity expansion investment of 600 billion rupees. Zagnelis Protect is the third locally produced patented ArcelorMittal product, following Magnelis and Optigal.
