Concurrently, the company secured a BIS licence under <strong>IS 19210:2025<\/strong> for Pre-Painted Zinc-Aluminium-Magnesium (Zn-Al-Mg) Alloy Coated Steel Strip and Sheet, marking another major milestone in bringing globally advanced steel solutions to the Indian market.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Operational and Commercial Implications of the BIS Licences:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Regulatory Compliance for Public Procurement:<\/strong> BIS certification is a mandatory prerequisite for supplying steel to state-funded infrastructure, defence, and public sector projects. The licences fulfil mandatory procurement criteria, allowing AM\/NS India to supply state-funded projects requiring these certified grades.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Domestic Availability &amp; Import Substitution:<\/strong> As the first domestic licensee for IS 2062 (Part 2):2026, AM\/NS India provides a local supply source for Q&amp;T steel plates, addressing market segments that previously relied on imported materials.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Product Portfolio Expansion:<\/strong> The licences enable the commercial distribution of specialized products manufactured at the company\u2019s Hazira and Pune facilities, spanning high-load structural applications and corrosion-resistant coated products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manufactured at <strong>AM\/NS India\u2019s advanced facilities in Hazira and Pune<\/strong>, these certified products reflect the company\u2019s technical agility to develop specialized solutions aligned with rapidly evolving industrial demands. The milestone adds to a prestigious track record, with AM\/NS India steel already contributing to critical national assets, including the <strong>Chenab Rail Bridge<\/strong> and strategic naval platforms such as <strong>INS Surat, INS Visakhapatnam, and the recently commissioned INS Malvan.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The newly introduced <strong>IS 2062 (Part 2):2026<\/strong> is the first BIS standard specifically developed for quenched and tempered steel plates. Produced through a specialised heat-treatment process, Q&amp;T steel offers exceptionally high strength and durability, enabling lighter yet stronger structures capable of carrying heavier loads. These products are widely used in <strong>bridges, heavy engineering equipment, mining machinery, offshore structures, marine applications and other demanding industrial environments where safety and performance are critical.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>IS 19210:2025<\/strong> standard establishes a quality framework for pre-painted zinc-aluminium-magnesium coated steel products. AM\/NS India\u2019s offering under this category is based on <strong>Optigal\u00ae<\/strong>, ArcelorMittal\u2019s globally recognised zinc-aluminium-magnesium coated steel technology. Compared to conventional colour-coated steel products, the advanced coating delivers significantly superior <em>corrosion resistance, enhanced cut-edge protection, longer service life and reduced maintenance requirements.<\/em> The products are widely used in <strong>roofing and cladding, pre-engineered buildings, infrastructure, warehousing, railways and industrial construction.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AM\/NS India currently holds <strong>25 BIS licences<\/strong>, including <strong>three prestigious All India First Licences<\/strong> under <strong>IS 3039, IS 18809:2024 and IS 2062 (Part 2):2026<\/strong>, reflecting the company\u2019s continued leadership in introducing advanced steel technologies and world-class products to the Indian market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These latest recognitions <strong>cement the company\u2019s reputation as a formidable leader capable of delivering globally benchmarked steel
