Vizag Steel Plant Hits Record Output, Coalition Govt Ensures Revival

• Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (RINL) achieved a historic production of 21,012 metric tons of hot metal in a single day on Dec 14, 2025, exceeding 100% daily installed capacity.
• TDP State President Sri Palla Sreenivasa Rao attributed this success to improved raw material supply, production discipline, and efficient management.
• The coalition government, with support from CM Sri Nara Chandrababu Naidu and PM Sri Narendra Modi, is actively supporting RINL's revival with over Rs. 14,000 crores in funds.
• Palla Sreenivasa Rao refuted privatization claims, clarifying that contract streamlining (from 1000+ to 42) aims to reduce financial burden, not privatize.
• He also alleged the previous Jagan Reddy government burdened the plant with Rs. 38,000 crores debt and clarified that discarded material was slag, not hot metal.

Why It Matters: Visakhapatnam Steel Plant achieves record production, backed by coalition government's revival efforts.
