The steel processing company has commissioned its new facility at Sri City, marking a significant expansion of its operational footprint in India. The facility is designed to enhance the company's production capabilities and strengthen its position in the domestic market.
The new plant is expected to increase IMOP's annual production capacity from 48,000 metric tonnes to 60,000 metric tonnes, representing a 25 per cent boost to overall output. This expansion underscores the company's confidence in India's growing demand for processed steel products across construction, automotive, and manufacturing sectors.
Beyond production gains, the facility will generate 200 additional employment opportunities, contributing to job creation in the region. The expansion is likely to support IMOP's efforts to meet rising demand from customers across South Asia, while strengthening the company's competitive position in the steel processing industry.
The second facility's opening reflects broader trends of Japanese manufacturing companies deepening their investment commitments in India, seeking to leverage the country's skilled workforce and growing industrial base.
