In a move to strengthen its international presence, Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), one of India’s largest steel producers, inaugurated its Representative Office in Dubai on Wednesday.
The office was officially inaugurated by Union Minister of Steel and Heavy Industries H.D. Kumaraswamy in the presence of Consul General of India to Dubai Satish Kumar Sivan, SAIL Chairman Amarendu Prakash, NMDC CMD Amitava Mukherjee, Joint Secretary of Steel Ministry V.K. Tripathi, and other senior officials from SAIL, Steel Ministry, NMDC, and MECON.
Located in a key commercial hub, the Dubai office is set to serve as a gateway for SAIL to enhance its steel exports, strengthen industry linkages, and bolster trade relations between India and the UAE, the Ministry of Steel said in a statement. The move leverages Dubai’s strategic position in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and its business-friendly ecosystem.
The initiative aligns with India’s broader vision of increasing its global steel footprint and reaching the national target of 300 million tonnes of steel production by 2030. The new office is expected to play a pivotal role in transforming SAIL into a globally competitive steelmaker and advancing India’s stature in the international steel market.
