Hon’ble President of India to inaugurate Wide Plate Mill Facility at MIDHANI

New Delhi: Mishra Dhatu Nigam Limited (MIDHANI) was established in the year 1973 under the Ministry of Defence as a Government of India Enterprise under the administrative control of the Ministry of Defence. MIDHANI is one of the few modern metallurgical plants in the world manufacturing a wide range of Superalloys, Titanium, alloys, Special Steel etc. in various mill forms using state-of-the-art production facilities.

MIDHANI has been playing a significant role in supplying materials to various strategic sectors like Space, Defence and Energy since its inception.

In this pursuit, MIDHANI has set up a key facility of National Importance, the ‘Wide Plate Mill’ at its existing Hyderabad Plant with an investment of around Rs. 500 Crore for rolling of slabs of various alloys.

The Wide Plate Mill will be inaugurated by the Hon’ble President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu on 27th December 2022 in the presence of eminent dignitaries and distinguished guests. 

The 3-meter width of the plate which can be rolled in a newly commissioned mill makes it unique in the world. Due to its very high capacity of rolling force, this mill can roll Ultra high strength steel to very low thickness. Technology for processing superalloy plates has been established in a very short period. MIDHANI has established the technology to produce high-strength Titanium alloys for Space, Nuclear and Defence applications.

The wide Plate Mill facility would meet the requirements of special steel plates for national strategic programs. The mill is expected to serve as a national facility for the development of wide plates that would meet present & future requirements and would also facilitate import substitutes.
